Elder Daniels Tells Of His>Re-
cent Trip Through Parts
N> Of Europe

Europe is shot to pieces Europe
is ruined. In fact the human race is
ruined by the ravages Of the late
world war;
So spoke Elder Arthur G. Daniels,
president of the world conference Of
Seventh-Day' Adventists, Friday even
ing, to an appreciative audience that
packed to itsIfull capacity the large
chapel of the Mt. Vernon Academy,
in Academia. He has just returned
from six months tour through the
war-devastated Sections of Europe.
Mr.. Daniels is on his way to the an
nual fall council of the leaders of his
denomination. The meeting will, con-
vepe in indianapolis, Ind, Wednesday
night, Oct. 20, and continue until Oct.
81. N
The full delegation of the worlds
conference, or general conference as
they term it, meets only once in eight
years, but council of leading men
in the denomination, especially those
in America, meets at least once every
year. Prof. N. S. Ashton of Academia
president of the Ohio conference, was
present and offered the invocation.
He will accompany Mr. Daniels to the
representative meeting in Indianapo.
lis.
Elder Daniels, who came here to ad-
wise in the matter of enlarging the
academy so as to, accommodate the
increasing number of students, said in
part,
"The situation in Europe is terrible.
Seldom is there found home where
deep sorrow is not depicted on the
faces OF those abiding there. The
world war was one severe blow which
undid all that the civilization of the
past century has accomplished. Great
scholars, after studying the condi-
tions, declare it will take long time
to restore things in Europe, If indeed
it ever can be done. In fact theJgreat
war has effected the whole human
race. and has almost ruined it, even
as sin destroys all who allow them
selves to be brought under it's con-
Ntrol.".
The speaker told of his late visits
to Germany and the conditions found
as compared with his inspection in
1913. Just before the war, prosperity
was seen on every hand. Now, ruin,
sorrow and deprivation are in plain
evidence. Starting at the gate of
Brandenburg, in Berlin, and walking
along the Inter der Linden toward
the palace of. the former kaiser, he
found it almost deserted instead. of
being thronged with people waiting

EDITORIAL.

In this issue there will be found a
communication from one of the leading
fishermen al this end, Mi. Philip Tutein, q
respectable and handwriting man who has
followed his profession for a number of
years and whose opinion on matters per-
tanning to the fish industry is based
upon Considerable experience. Mr.. Tutein
takes exception to editorial and contri-
buted comment in this paper on the con-
ditiOn of the fish market where the pri-
ces Of raw fish have scared beyond all
reasonable proportion and have naturally
called forth criticism just as has been
advanced where occasion called for it in
other lines Of foOdstuffS. AS a matter
of fact when this paper referred edito-
rally to the high prices of fish it was
not contemplated to offend any parti-
cular fisherman or class of fishermen,
and men of Mr.. Tutein's type were not
thought of when commenting % the
ruthless prOfteering which goes on and
is still going on in the retail fsh-market.
If all the fishermen and those dealing
in that particular line were like Mr..
Tutein it would probably have been an
necessary to write our article of the 10th
instant and the public would not be dis
satisfied.
EVERYBODY knows ana agrees mat the
cost of materials for all purposes has
advanced considerably and where such
materials are used in manufacture, or in
the running of any business or industry,
the products have gone up proportion
ately; wo say proportionately because
that is what it ought to be, but in nine
teen cases out of twenty goods have gone
up SO, go, in some instances, 100 to 200

suggestion as a basic ground in ferret

may be quite true as Mr.. Tutein contends
that the price OF fish can not be what it
was formerly. But then Mr.. Tutein does
not go around selling fish himself, nor is
ne In a position to say what those who
40 so charge and to what extent they
freeze" the public. When it was in
stancod in this paper that twenty
cents was asked for two tiny "gizard
doctor" we know what we are talk
ing about, and the information on
this score reached us from good author
Ity, like i most cases where we have
found it e%xpedient to take up public
matters of this nature. Naturally the
editors o papers do not have to go in
the fish market or for that matter in
any market at all to get first hand in
formation about prices and conditions
which will elicit no complaint from the
public unless they work a hardship in
their application. 1t is a positive fact that
the fish sold nowadays is so much more
expensive than in the recent past as to ad-
NIT OF no room for comparison. 1t is a
general matter of comment and on more
than one occasion convincing evidence
OF the injustice to which the public is
subject has been submitted to US, not to
speak of numerous requests to treat
the matter il public print. It would
appear that the loudest denun-
citation is against the small fishers
who angle or set out pots in the harbor,
a business which does not come under
the heading of the larger scale Of fishing
TO which Mr.. Tutein confines his argu-
ment. These small dealers, whether
directly or indirectly, barter fish about
the town at unheard Of crices, a mere
fish head often costing 20 cents. At all
events we can see no harm in suggesting
action to suppress profiteering and i'm
position wherever found, and It seems t.
US equitable to propose that the Food
Commission regulate the price of raw
fish in justice alike to seller and consum-
er, as the way to end disputes and elimin-
ate unjust criticism Of the prices of fish.
il the same be above criticism as our
correspondent intimates. 1t will be
noted that Mr.. Tutein has essayed 10
comparison between the past and pres
ent prices of fish, although he furnishes
the figures on the expense side. If
known, these would be interesting and
should prove the most etfec i've mannerin
refuting the charges, if charges there
be, and OF s~ubstantiating the correct
ne S of his position. We are sorry Mr..

Harvesting Now

Grains Give Exceptional Yield This
Year-Mower HUNS Through
Country 81

The harvest of the grain crop IS
now on in this section of Steans
county.
On every side through the country
the hum of the mower tells OF the
timely harvest of one Of the best
grain crops Stealns county and Min
nesota in general has seen in many
years.
Rye, wheat, barely and practical
" all cereal crops are ready now to
be cut, and the Stearns county
farmer is taking advantage OF the
fine weather conditions to get his
grain into the barn.
Other crops, such as corn and po-
tatoes give evidence of being plenti-
full this season providing nothing
happens to interfere with Their
growth. A general lack of rain is
having a telling effect on some of
these crops but the results of the
early rains helped the situation con-
siderably.
