FAMOUS SOUTHERN DOCTOR IS PROUD OF HIS SONS CAREER
Devotion Shown Between pr. Baruch and Son, "6Srney" Inspiration to
 Friends
By HARRY WILSON WALKER

Washington, June Special )--- pr. Simon Baruch spent considerable of his time in Washington while his son, Bernard AT Baruch, was chair man of the war industries board. The doctor had wide circle oi friends among the old southern fam flies. Survivors of the Civil war held him in affectionate regard
 The doctor had been General Lees personal physician as well as hay ing been on the staff of General Longstreet. The affectionate devo- tion existing between pr. Baruch and his son "Berney''-as the doctor always called him was beautiful and frequently commented upon.
 I remember one day Dr. Baruch called at the war industries board, and not Knowing the board was in session, put his head through the door. His son, who was presiding, left his chair and went and kissed his father with all the affection of

a child. Then he led his father into the room, where a score of distin- guished men were gathered and saie:
 Gentlemen, l want to introduce you to a great old nanny father"
 Although it was one of the mosc anxious days of the war, business for the moment was suspended The doctors wonderful personality charmed every one from General Goethals down. The short visit proved of great value, for pr. Ba- ruch made several suggestions that General Goethals ordered put into execution at once.
 It was difficult to get the doctor to talk about himself. being so fun of enthusiasm regarding the work Of his son. Of him he would talk by the hour.
 I persuaded him to take time sc tell of his meeting with o. Henry, who gave currency to the report that pr. Baruch had recommended champagne as the only cure for the yellow fever. All over the country newspapers took the story seriously. Dr, Baruch was in New Orleans en route to Houston to attend the wedding of his son, sailing 0. Henry, then known by his real name, Porter, was doing the hotel interviewing for New Orleans newspaper and sent his card to the doctor. but the latter was not in" o. Henry laid for him in the hall : way and virtually held the doctor up.
 He gave that old reportorial gag about how hard up he was for q story and insisted that 1 talk about yellow fever" said pr. Baruch. T said it was too important to speak about off hand
 He was very persistent and tol me that the then sanitary conditions of New Orleans were abominable. Evidently he was after a sensation and to be obliging wanted to help him out but I dreaded arousing the ire of the authorities for fear that they would enforce the quarantine laws and I would not reach Housto ! in time for my sons wedding.
 After listening to his sad picture, suggested that the best thing un- der those circumstances was to drink champagne, and I invited hi n to join me over a bottle.'
 Dr. Baruch greatly enjoyed tell ing about his son "Berneyis first trip to Europe" The future great financier was then about Y years of age.
 As the ship upon which the docto" was to sail was to leave early n the morning he went aboard the night before. At the time Dr. Ba- ruchs eldest son was the star III the then popular success, MT.

 "Berney" had a. boys job in a brokerage house which was about to fail and the elder brother sug- gested that the father take. Der neys' with him on the trip. The doctor gladly agreed and "Berney" was hustled home to get clothes.

BabCoCk Fights
for Federal Aid
s2,s4O, 900 MINNESOTA ROAD MON
Ely AT STAKE IN MEASURE
CONTINUING FEDERAL HELP
FOR STATE PROJECTS.

With s2,S4O,OO0 Of road money for
Minnesota at stake, State Highway
Commissioner Charles M. Babcock IS
leaving for Washington tonight to
work for passage of the Phipps DoWell
bill. continuing federal aid for state
road projects on the same basis as last
year. Early action on the bill, which
is being held up in the senate, would
allow the inclusion of $2,225, 900 worth
of grading and grayeling and $5OO,OO0
more of paving in the Minnesota road
program for 1921. Work to this
amount already planned is being held
up until matters are settled at WASH
ington.
Mr.. Babcock had just returned from
a five days tour in southern Minnie
sofa, visiting state parks and planning
the road construction there. He was
accompanied by j. H. Mullen, assls-
tant commissioner, State Auditor Ray
P. Chase, and P. ]. McCauley, park
engineer. They visited state parks all
the way from Winona county to Ioqua
Lakes park near Gracevllle. Some OF
them are off the trunk highways and
nroposed road connections for them
will be up to the legislature.
The issue at Washington, according
to Mr.. Babcock, is between federal
aid on the old basis, encouraging farm
to market roads planned by state au-
thorities, and Senator Charles y
Townsend's plan tor federal hlgnWays'
or 'transcontinental bouievards de-
luxe" as they are termed by Mr. bap-
cock. It calls for a federal commits
sion of three to lay out the federal
highways. The senate passed the
Phipps bill in this form, and when the
house amended it to conform with the
old system of federal aid for state
roads. the senate not only refused TO
concur but failed to send the altered
noeas11re to conference, and deadlock
is on. Mr.. Babcock has been urged to
come to Washington and help in the
ut now Develops" said Mr.. Babcock
TODAY, s'that the original Townsend
bill was drafted by the American
Automobile association, and | believe
it's primary purpose was to obtain IN
terstate tourist roads, wholly Ignoring
+ha greater need of farm to marker
roads.
aThe Phipps-Dowell bill, for which
we are fighting provides Tor tnese
farm to market highways ana tne
Minnesota plan adopted under gooo
roads amendment No. 1 fits 1t TO
nicety. Our plan, as the people OF the
state know, transfers to the state the
big burden of improving and mann
aiming the arterial highways and sets
aside motor vehicle tax revenues ano
federal aid for that purpose, leaving
the counties larger amounts OF cur
rent funds with which to build up the
farmer roads"

County Board
Has Meeting
COMMISSIONERS OF COUNTY
TRANSACT BUSINESS AT sPECI-
AL MEETING AUGUST. As.

The Board of Commissioners of
Redwood county met in special session
last Thursday and Friday with all
members of the Board present. The
meeting was called for the trans
action of routine business and for the
hearing of several petitions. One Of
these was the petition of Geo. frost
and others for the formation of a new
school district from a part of the ter
ritory formerly included in District IL.
This petition was granted and the new
district numbered 115. Refundment
of taxes to the amount of $18.88 was
made to Christ Axelson of Paxton
township and the petition of 81. B.
Everett for reduction in the assessed
valuation of his farm in Johnsonville
was recommended to the tax commits
sion.
Of very great Importance to the
county was the Boards action in re-
electing Miss Anna Vorbeck as school
nurse for the county during the COM
ing year. For the past several years
the county has employed a nurse to
work with the school children of the
county and the good derived from this
service has been inestimable. Miss
Vorbeck served very efficiently last
year and her election is the source of
great satisfaction to citizens having
the welfare of the children at heart.
The remainder of the two days ses-
sion was filled with the work with the
ditch and road engineers of the Coun-
ty and in the payment of bills, etc.

Clague to Help
Federal Commission
CONGRESSMAN AFTER PROFITE-
ERING COAL DEALERS OF
NORTHWEST.

Some leading wholesale coal dealers
of the Northwest may be prosecuted
under the Clayton act prohibiting re-
straint of trade by the Federal Trade
commission, as result of disclosures
made to the commission Thursday by
Representative Clague, Minnesota, in
a three-hour conference.
The commission has been, for some
time, Investigating the wide spread
between the cost of coal at the mine
and prices being paid in the North
west, and the conference Thursday is
said to have completed it's case.
It is understood the commission
asked Judge Clague to assist it's Legal
department unof6cially, and expects
to consult him frequently in the pre-
paration of the case against North.
west coal dealers.
Experience of Minnes0tan.
Representative Clague has previous.
ly laid before the commission the let.
ter from F. j .Hoerr of Mankato, Min.
nesota, describing an incident in his
own experience with mine owners OF
Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Hoerr wrote that while he was
living in Wilkesbarre, Pa, he had oc-
casion to order two carloads of an.
thracite coal to ship back to Mime.
sofa. He asked the mine owners il
he might get coal, and was told that
the price at the mines was 81 ton
He then told them that he planned to
ship the coal to Minnesota.
"We can't sell you coal for Mime
sofa at that price," Mr. Hoerr said he
was told. They told him that Goa
destined for the Northwest could not
be sold at less than SIS F. O. B. Wilk-
esbarre.
The Federal Trade commission, it is
stated, has secured additional evidence
which supports the incident described
in Mr.. Hoerr's letter. This evidence
indicates that while coal is sold at the
mines for local consumption at 81 q
ton, coal destined for the Northwest
will not be sold to anyone except mem
bers of an alleged wholesalers com
bine for less than SIS.
Newton, Clague to Act.
Representative Clague and Repre-
sentative Walter Newton said thai
without regard to contemplated ac-
tion by the Federal Trade commission
in the prosecution of the Northwest
dealers, they will proceed with theil
efforts for immediate relief of North
west coal consumers. They expressed
themselves as willing to cooperate
with the commission in the prosecution
of the coal operators, if evidence war
rants prosecution, but they recognize
that this would not give relief from
the present prices any more than vii
cases pending before the Interstate
Commerce commission.
Judge Clague is preparing a letter
to the hard and soft coal operators, il
which he will call attention to the
charge that no one outside of large
coal brokers can obtain coal for ship
ment to the Northwest at the prices
quoted at the mine. In this letter, he
will urge the operators to take some
steps to bring down the price of Goa
in the Northwest.

PRES. sTENsyAD MAKES STATE
MENT CONCERNING install
LATION OF NEW EQUIPMENT.

Rud Stensvad, president of the Red
wood Falls Electric Telephone Com
pany, has been busy for the past two
months experimenting the installation
of equipment for the automatic sys-
tenn and he states that the "Cut over"
from the old system to the new will be
made about August %. This is only
an approximate date however and de-
finite announcement of the time of the
change will be made later, through
the Gazette.
Mr.. Stensvad also makes several
other statements of interest to the
patrons of the system, as follows.
Owing to delay in the delivery of
cables We have found it necessary to
postpone the cutover date about ten
days. About a week before the
change is made we will demonstrate
the operation of the new dial phones.
This demonstration will be made on a
working set of automatic phones at
the new telephone building and each
subscriber is invited to call and be
shown, by an expert, just how this
phone should be operated to give the
maximum of service.
Because of complications arising
from the operation through both the
old and new cables there has been
some interruption of the service re-
Gently. This will necessarily continue
until the final cutover is made. The
Company will do it's utmost to give
the best service possible under these
conditions.
~"On page 6 of this issue we publish
complete directions for the operation
of the new instrument. Please study
these carefully, and PLEASE Do
NOT PRACTICE on your telephone
until the time of the cutover as it
will, in some cases, put the line out
of service. Further information on
the system and service will be given
later"
