Judging from requests being re-

Minnesota Legion posts asking for
certificates which will entitle their

the Mississippi and enjoying the boat
rides and other good times being
planned by Winona Legionaires.
Aside from the passing of pertinent
resolutions, the principal business to
be transacted at Winona August l.

officers, amending the department
constitution, fixing the time and place
of the Fourth Annual Convention,

A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.--An inter-

Connie Mack, the slender boss of
the Philadelphia Athletics, can lay
claim to the greatest world series
honors. Three Of Mack's teams have
won the series since the Nationa.
Commission took hold of baseball in
1906. Twice Mack found himself pit
ted against the willy John McGraw,
manager Of the New York Giants and
Mack won on both occasions. Another
of baseball's greatest leaders, Frank

the Mackmen.
However, Chance was one of the
select few who led their teams to
world series victory on two occasions.

Cotton Consumption
August 467,1O3 Bales

Domestic mill consumption of lint
cotton in August shows gratifying
increase over the previous month
Cotton consumption turned its corner
in January after reaching the depths
of depression in December last, Since
that time there has been steady bet
terment until now, the consumption
figure has been surpassed by only
one month of the 1920-21 season
Mill stocks of 1,002,98l bales are
equal to only two months supply
Evidently, the late developments in
the crop situation took some spin
ners by surprise. The mill and ware
house stocks together are 10 per cent
less than the small amount consum-
ed in domestic mills in the past sea
on of business depression when the
whole world consumed only l0,500,-
600 bales of American cotton. A
slight improvement in foreign con
sumption together with the gain in
domestic use indicated by the present
figures could easily carry the cur
rent years figure up to near 12,ooo,-
900 bales. The present crop condl-
ton does not promise a sufficient
supply to meet such an estimate ana
leave reasonable carryover-Wail

NEARLY $4,000
PEOPLE BURNED
TODEATH in YEAR

Associated Press

| BOSTON, Sept, 2S,-Last year
nearly $4,000 persons were burned to
death with approximately 10000 in
jured, large percentage Of whom
were injured permanently and made
a public charge on our citizenship, T.
Alfred Fleming, Of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters Of New York
City told the Automotiye section of
the National Safety Council Congress
here today.
"A classification of these losses
shows that over 10 per cent are wo-
men and children of school age and
under. This classification shows that
the home and the school have been
neglected in our great scheme Of saf-
ETY. education. II also shows the eff
fectiveness Of the general campaign
of safety in the shop and factory.
"Co-incident with this loss Of life,
the destruction Of property during the
year 1920 us quoted by w. e. Maila
lio, general manager of the National
Board Of Fire Underwriters almost
doubled that of any previous year Of
our history, reaching an enormous
total Of over S505, 100000 which does
not include the stupendous losses in
forestry, 80 per cent Of which is due
to carelessness of citizens. This
waste Of our national wealth Of near
ly one and one-half millions a day is
paid for by every citizen of the nation.
1t is generally considered that these
losses are borne largely by insurance
companies which is true but insurance
companies are only collecting and dis
tributing agencies and Of necessity are
compelled TO require increased rates
10 cover increased loses. Every pro-
duct purchased for the home or for
the factory has in its cost to the CON
ance and overhead cost.
Ii is the largest and most unneces-
sary leakage Of the country's resour-
ces, and is almost entirely avoidable
and unnecessary.
"Paul G. Redington of the Forestry
Division of the United States, in ad-
dresses in California recently stated
that Of 20,244 forest fires caused by
campers last year, 7G per cent or over
$4,000 were due to smokers careless
ness. ;t would seem that the only
way to obviate these tremendous
losses Of life and property would be
to conduct the longest possible con
tinuous campaign of education for
their elimination.
"The sections where safety has been
most neglected are In the Home and
School 1t is an appalling fact that
not one business man out Of every
200 has ever applied the knowledge
of safety he has used in his factory
to his home. He has forgotten to
call cabinet meeting" Of the memb-
ers of his family and servants to in
struct them how to turn in an alarm,
how to extinguish fire in its incip-
iency, how to avoid danger from arti-
cles used in the home and how to use
the extinguisher he has installed In
other words financial value in pro.
duction has 1000 per cent more care
and oversight than the priceless jew
els of human life in the home, and yet
the nation is only as large or as
strong as it's homes"

JEWISH NEW YEAR
BEGINS SUNDAY
Regarded As One OF The Most Sig.
nificant Holy Days In The
Jewish Calendar.

Beginning Sunday evening, 0cto-
ber End, and continuing until Monday
evening at suset, October 3nd, Jews
the world over, will observe their new
year. Among orthodox Jews, a second
day will, in addition be observed on
Tuesday, October 4th, as New Year
says the Tract Commission Of the
Central conference Of American Rab-
bis Union Of American Hebrew Con-
gregation.
The vast majority of Jews regard
the New Year as one Of the two most
significant holy days in the Jewish
calandar ranking with the Day Of
Atonement, which OCCURS ten days
later, as the most solemn in the Syn
ogog.
Unlike the secular New Year, Rosh
Hashanah, the Hebrew name by
which this holy day is known among
the Jews is an occasion Of spiritual
stimulation and direction. It's Bib
lical basis is found in Leyiticus 23;24
where it is said: "In the seventh
month, in the first day Of the month,
shall be solemn rest unto you, a
memorial proclaimed with the blast
of horns, a holy conyocation."
From this Mosaic injunction there
has been evolved the ceremony Of
the blowing Of the Shofar, or rams
horn, which is merely a symbol to
remind the worshippers that each
person has duties and responsibilities
which cannot be shirked nor delega-
ted to another.
According to rabbinical legend New
Years Day marks the anniversary Of
the creation Of the world. Accord
ing to this tradition, the ensuing year
will be the 5682nd Of the existence Of
the world, Whether we reject or ac-
Icept this tradition, there is a more
valuable legend which regards the
New Year day as marking the anniyer
sary of the creation Of man, hence a
universal holiday, the birthright Of
all humanity.
