THE FAIRFIELD GOSPEL TEAM
TOelwein Reaister.1

The Fairfield Gospel Team now In
action in the Hub City is q some
what unique organization for chris
::a. work II seems that Fairfield
has learned the most desirable art
Of getting together along church as
we'll as in business lines.
1t Is learned that they have an in
ter-church bible class in Fairfield
that meets each Sunday afternoon to
discuss bible truths and to project
efforts for the lettering Of that city
and other cities in Iowa. The Cos
pei team is composed OF members Of
the various churches and they give
q few days off semi to
bearing testimony" to the power OF
the gospel Of the Nazarene.
II seems that in the gospel team
now operating in Oelwein there is a
leader and a singer that remain on
the job-presumably during the Sc
ries Of meetings. There are relays
Of exhorters who come UP from Fair
field and remain for two or three
days each. For instance, the presi-
dent Of the team, c. z. Ward. q re-
tired lumberman, was here for three

THE BUSINESS FIELD.

! The first quarter of 1920, which has
been a period marked by unusual in
! convenience to commerce through
| transportation delays and other hand
leaps. now nears it's ending with an
| increase of activities in various quar-
ters on the favorable turn in the
weather, but with evidences OF grow
ing conservasat clearly apparent.
With prices and wages continuing
at exceptionally high Levels and with
the enhanced costs OF transacting
business, the prevailing situation Is
one which induces caution in opera
tons, and some hesitation is phompt-
ed by uncertainty regarding interna-
tional political developments, labor
conditions, and the outcome of the
years crops. More than any other
single element, however, the price
factor governs mercantile ard Indus
trial undertakings, and expectations
Of price readjustment to follow, al
though as yet unsupported by any
general market yielding, tend toward
reduction in engagements for the fu-
ture.
While not a few new contracts are
prevented by the paucity of supplies
that still exists in diqerent lines, yet
shortage Of goods is less OF a re-
straining influence than previously,
with war time requirements no long
er present and imports from Europe
measurably larger. and accumulation
of certain commodities has resulted
from the waiting policy Of buyers, or
from their disposition to commit
themselves only on basis Of quick
turnover. That some sellers views
about prices have undergone revision
Is indicated by the fact that remote
shipments tn some instances are be-
| ing offered at lower quotations than
those named on current deliveries, and
by the increasing expressions OF
doubt as to the ability of retailers to
secure extreme prices Indefinitely.
Questionings as to whether consum-
ers' growing opposition to abnormally
high prices, which first made itself
manifest in the east, and later in
parts of the west and south, may not
have become a fixed policy are being
more frequently heard in dry goods
channels and elsewhere; and the
greater discrimination in buying with
demands centering more in the lower
priced and more staple articles, Is a
feature commented upon in many
dispatches.
With. purchasing irrespective Of
prices, and largely on speculation.
curtailed in leading markets. the
countrys business is not now SO few
erishly active as formerly. but it
bulks heavy in the aggregate. and has
gained in wholesomeness through the
spread Of conservatism and the move
ment toward lessening Of extrav-
agance in personal expenditures.

THOSE N. Y. SOCIALISTS.

A COMMITTEES Of the legislature
of New York in recommending
expulsion of the duly elected
members OF the socialist party
also condemned the socialist party
as IAN organization composed ex-
clusively Of perpetual traitors
and seems to have put its
exclusion Of the socialist legislators
very largely upon that assumption.
In so doing it overeached its object
and assumed powers which it prob
ably does not possess or at least
powers which 1t was not intended by
the makers of the United States con-
stitution to possess.
To exclude the members OF a poll
teal party who have been duly elect
ed and certified because they arc
members Of that party is obviously
an assumption Of power that would
not be upheld IN the higher courts.
II the accused members of the leg
islature were guilty Of the actions
charged against them they should
be and should have been prosecuted
and convicted. Berger was accused
OF similar crime and duly convicted
before a proper court. That fact
made the duty of congress clear. A
convicted traitor could not Of right
and decency sit in the congress OF
the country he had betrayed. II the
charges brought against the New
| York socialists had been shown trne
in open court the action of the as =
sembly would not be open TO ques-
ton. But that a political party
should be brought to the bar OF q
! Jury composed Of other political par
ties and attained there Is very
different thing as we'll as a danger
OTIS thing and one which no con
stitutSonaI convention would contem-
! plate seriously.
It Is more than likely that the Of
Tending legislators, at least some oil
them deserved prosecution and tina!
! the attitude and actions of all OF
them cast grave doubt on their fit
ness for the offices to which they
were elected by socialist votes az

RUDE T0A BANJO;
FIGHTS RESULT
Police Court This Morn
ing Was Rather In
teresting

Throwing q string of cowbells
across dance floor to add to the
ecstatic thrill of the dancers is one
Of the. uptodate methods used by
jazz orcehstras. But when some
one shunts banjo belonging to
one of the selfsame artists down
the aisle of street car for the
sole and only purpose OF removing
1t out OF his way. it may or may
net be casus belll. Last night 1t
was, and the result OF the melee
was four fines amounting to $50
in police court this morning.
There is a wide disagreement as
10 just who struck the first blow,
.butr that the 6a11t uz11GI dent Eed up
L the fight there does not seem to
be much doubt.
According to the testimony, Lee
King, of Monongah. and Lon
Moore boarded a Clarksburg car
at Monongah to come to the city.
Without any great. degree OF cere-
mony, King is said to have remov-
ed the banjo case from the only
vacant seat and gave it shove
dCwn the floor of the car. This
led to some acrimonious debate
beteween King and his partner
and six musicians, but no damage
was done then. Afterward, how
ever, the eight men foregathered
at the Watson corner, and the
fight was on.
King and Moore we're arrested
by Chief Snider and Patrolman
Arnett. Moore put UP a deposit OF
SO and King $25 for their re-
lease. Fiften minutes later King
was again brought in and locked
up for raising another disturbance
or Main street. He was released
at two O'Clock this morning and
apepared for trial at 9 O'Clock.
Meanwhile Chief Snider arrest
ed Paul Craig and F. P. Lartnoy-
cux, members Of the Clarksburg
orchestra whose property was the
cause of the breach of the peace,
and all four men were fined $1O
for fighting. Mayor Conway as
Bessed King an additional $40 for
being disorderly.
Herbert Moats, colored, Blanche
Keyser and Blanche Smith, white
women, were a very unsaVory
looking trio who faced tho mayor
on a charge OF lettering att negro
resort near the Monongahela rail-
way round house. Each was fined
S25 and costs and the Smith wo-
man received an additional sen.
tence OF 80 days in jail, suspended
in case she goes back to Clarks'
burg, from which place she halls.
Ross Barbour drew a fine Of. $5
