LABOR SURVEY SHOWS
VERY SLIGHT DECREASE
Majority of Large Employers
of Labor Show Few Signs
of Letting Down
(By United Press.)

Chicago, Nov. II (by H. L. O'Sul-
livan)-Survey Of labor in the middle
west today shows little noticeable ex-
tensive slackening in demand for
workers.. While industries in some
spots have. slowed down, laying off
large numbers of men-automobile
manufacturers being the outstanding
example-the majority of employers
of labor on a large scale showed few
signs of letting down.
A survey of labor conditions in the
middle west conducted by the United
Press showed that while surplus labor
is now reported in practically every
city, in only one of two places is it
at normal as compared with pre-war
normal conditions. This surplus has
been created by the slowing up in a
few industries only. Five hundred
unemployed are reported by the Okla
homa City employment office. The
great industries of the steel manu-
facturers, packers, etc, in most in
stances have failed as yet to show
any alarming slackness in the demand
for men.

New 1-k, Nov. II. - National
Comman> e. w. Galbraith Jr., Of
the Amen Legion, today issued
the followA Message on Armistice
Day. j. /
p "The swift. ,-Humph of our arms
and those of our gallant allies, which
two years ago gave US the victory,
the anniversary Of which we celebrate
today, marks the high-light of the
present century in American affairs.
Victories such as Armistice Day com.
memorates are not the issues solely
of clashes of flesh and .steal. t. They
are finer quality than that: They
are. the ,triumphs, as we'll, of an un
conquerable spirit.
No victory, however complete, long
can survive the spirit that conceived
it. The annals of mankind are re-
plete with example, splendid triumphs
in behalf of splendid causes, that
have gone for naught because the
spirit that made them ceased to en-
dure.
r.. This is only the second anniversary
of Armistice Day-a day destined, it
we will, to keep company with the
'immortals of the calendar that mar
great moments of history that: shall

Comments Made for Weekly,
Bank Review Show That
Spirit Is Spreading
NATIONAL SITUATION
a BRINGS SATISFACTION
Indications Are That State
Will Be Noted for Its
Building in 1921

St. Paul, Nov. ia noticeable
wave Of optimism is spreading from
the cities in to the rural districts OF
Minnesota as consequence OF the
election outcome, Judging from COM
ments made in reports from bankers
in various counties received during
the past week, for the weekly review
of Minnesota enterprise, prepared by
the Merchants National Bank Of St.
Paul.
More comprehensive reports re-
garding election developments are en-
pected this week as number pf
bankers did not have an Opportun-
ity to make a special report on cleo
ton incidents. Those who did, how
ever, touched upon four points: First,
the republican victory in the presi-
Dental campaign; Second. passage
of the Good Roads amendment; Third
defeat of the Nonpartisan league can
didates both in Minnesota and In the
Northwest and Fourth, the impressive
victory for the republican state tic
ket.
The national, situation seemingly
brought more satisfaction than, any
other phase of the election, judging
from the early comments For many
weeks Minnesota wool growers have
been shipping their product 10 Chi
cago for storage. Potatoes, wheat
and other grains have been going
into storage. Cattle and hog ship
ments have seldom been heavy, be-
cause of unsatisfactory prices A feel
ing that the Republican landslide
will change these conditions have
been forecast.
Passage Of the Good Roads amend
ment elected considerable comment
Of a local nature. It was known that
number Of important summer re-
sort building projects depended to a
certain extent upon adoption or the
broad good roads program. Activ-
tiles of the Ten Thousand Lakes as
sociation with headquarters In St.
Paul, and tremendous tourist travel
in every county this year, caused va
rious merchants, hotel keepers, bank
ers and other persons interested in
Minnesota summer resorts to plan I'M
provements for 1921 provided condt-
tions are favorable. Several of these
improvements would have been start

ASSOCIATION MEMBERS
ENJOY SPECIAL MENU
Appeal for Larger Consump-
ton of Lamb Made by Swift
& Co. Representative

The Bemidji association luncheon
and meeting held yesterday was
largely attended and the lunch was
specially enjoyed. Swift & Company
donated a generous supply of their
Cloverland lamb and Koors Bros.
treated the members to delicious
dish of their Ice Cream Supreme.
Both were thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Mrs. SanbOrn read report OF the
convention which she attended OF the
National Association Of Commercial
Secretaries at Chicago and pointed
out some Of the essentials Of success
full commercial association as they
were presented there.
The report of the Merchants COM
mittee of the association regarding
the closing OF stores and the arrange
ments for the dinner to be given to
the farmers Of the community on De-
cembcr 4th, was presented and
adopted. Mrs. Mcmahon presented
the matter Of securing a suitable
place for the poultry show and avail
able places were suggested.
A talk full Of information and in
terest was given by Mr.. Modeer of
Swift & Company on the necessity Of
greater consumption Of lamb and
sheep products. He pointed out that
lamb was in reality cheaper than
pork or beef when considered cut for
cut and was cleaner and more pal
atable product. Less lambs are dis
eased than either cattle or hogs. He
impressed upon his hearers the advis-
Utility of creating greater home
market for This product. 1T is q
western product but is being con-
simed mostly in the east" he said.
This naturally accounts largely for
the fluctuating market. The lambs
raised in the Cloverland district in
which Bemidji is situated when
dressed yield a greater per cent Of
meat than the lambs raised on the
western ranges with which the Glow
erland district completes.
The meeting was turned over to
the Beltrami County Fair association
for the transaction of their business.

feared, result in the permanent dis
continuance of the importing of Rus
sian teas to America. Mr.. Lubarsky,
the pioneer and mainstay of this bust
ness, came to the United States in
los, as representative of the Rus
sian tea concern of D. Vysotsky. The
importation Of Russian tea has been
temporarily checked by the war, and
since Mr.. Lubarskys death, Russians
in America fear it will never be re-

any drug store and mix It with the
molasses until there is a thick paste.
Take a teaspoonful three times a day

for three more days. Repeat the doses
and the rests until the skin shows
that the blood has been cleared Of
its impurities. This is an old-time
remedy that was general as spring
