ECONOMY AND HARD WORK
SAYS ISAIAH J. BREWER
Pageland Man Gives Ideas On Better.
ing Present Conditions

Pageland, S. c., Feb. 21, 1921.
Mr.. Editor,
Please allow me space in your col
umns to express few thoughts that
may interest some of our farmers.
Last fall some of our leading men
advised us to hold cotton, thinking
that through export corporation we
would be able to get fair price for
our staple. But it continues to come
down, and we are not getting one
third of what we expected, the cost
of production. The high price and
extravagent use of fertilizer, high
labor and living have got US up
against it.
Now believe the same wind that
blows fire and can blow up if
the bellows are properly operated.
Last spring our barns and shelters
were filled with guano and the ferti-
hzer companies were being cursed be-
cause they did not ship it in faster
This fall the same buildings are filled
with cotton and our mail boxes filled
with duns for this guano, and the fer
tilizer. companies are being cursed by
some because they want their money.
l don't think this is fair. We simply
made a bad trade, but we made it
and We take our medicine; but we
should look out for the next trade.
The factories are prepared to sell
US again and think the farmers
should set price on it, and as we
are forced to sell cotton at one-third
value we should buy fertilizer at the
same rate. This would mean about
$17.00 for 1873 guano, and $500

for acid and if we can't buy at these
prices let them keep it.
Some of those idlers that have
been walking around boasting of
their bonus or some easy money from
the government have about struck
bottom and will work now at living
prices, and those that won't work
should be on the road.
Some of us paid $3.50 or more per
bushel for improved cotton seed,
such as Coker's No. IL and that great
Weber 80 and we have made a web
and a strong one, and the farmer,
merchant, banker and almost every
business enterprise is tangled in it A.;
and nothing but wise planning, hard
work and economical living will get us
out Of it.
l don't believe that exchanging 20
pounds of these seed for ID pounds
of meal will get US out of this web. 1
believe this movement will make it
more difficult to get out of it.
Some claim that one ton of meal is
worth two tons of seed. that the oil
which the seed contain are injurious to
the land but before I'll make such ex-
change I'll put mine on the land if
they make these old hills sa greasy
as NANCY pig. l don't believe this
form of operating the bellows will
ever blow up this fire.
l believe we should demand n
square deal and We'll get it.
Isaiah J. Brewer.

not bring in more than half the
amount required for their salaries,
while it is claimed that the fines re-
sultng from the work of the rural po-
lice used often to foot the bill.
The friends of the rural police sys-
tenn claim there is no comparison
between the two methods of policing
when it comes to law enforcing.
This question should be thoroughly
discussed by the people while the
Observation-Disclosures, -ss-tsi 3fa.de-
cision can be arrived at.

Editors Start
Dowling Fund
ASK FOR HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS FOR HOME FOR
CRIPPLED CHILDREN.

The Minnesota Editorial Association
has taken charge of the publicity for
the Michael Bowling Memorial Fund
and are now asking the residents of
Minnesota to contribute toward this
fund. The amount set is hundred
thousand dollars, this money to be ex-
pended in a Michael Bowling Home
for the Crippled Children of the
State, the home to be located in the
Twin Cities. No worthier memorial
could possibly be found, nor one more
suited to the wishes of Mr.. Bowling
were it possible for him to suggest
that which he would like to have the
citizens Of the United States do in
his memory. While the citizens OF
Minnesota are taking the lead in this
matter, the Memorial will really be
national in character, many residents
of other states having already ex-
pressed their desire to contribute to
the cause.
j. R. Landy of Olivia is the state
chairman of the Bowling Memorial
Fund. A. M. Welles of Worthington,
chairman Of the Second Congression-
al District, will receive contributions
for Redwood and the other counties
of his district or local contributions
NAV be sent to the Gazette editor or
to the other editors Of the county who
are asked to take them, receipt for
them and send them to the district
chairman.

Labor Asks for
Wage Reduction
STEEL WORKERS PREFER DE-
CREASE TO IDLENESS; ASK
FOR FORTY PER CENT RE-
DUCTION.

Connelsville, Pa, June 25.-Several
hundred employees of the American
Manganese company of Dunbar, near
here, today made proposition to the
company officers whereby they accept
ed wage reduction of 40 per cent in
order that they might continue work
ing. The officials of the company
previously had ordered that the furn-
aces and other plants operated by the
company, which constitute the only
employment offered to a population of
several thousand, be closed down
July l.
Employees not wishing to be idle,
and realizing it was better to work for
less pay than not to receive any at all,
made the request to the company that
they adopt the wage cut during the
period of business depression, provid-
ing the plant be kept operating. Com
pany officials agreed and the men will
continue to work while men employed
in other industries are idle.
The company not only agreed to
keep the plant running, but met the
men half way by deciding to cut rents
of more than $50 houses occupied by
employees 40 per cent.
The stores of Dunbar entered into
the plan also by agreeing to give re-
ductions on all necessities of life. This
makes the move a community affair.
Under the new wage scale common
labor will earn % cents an hour fer
a day of 10 or IL hours on the shifts.
The plan to reduce wages was not a
company plan but came from the
men.

Legal Rate Increased.

A bill which was enacted at the
last session of the state legislature
allows newspaper publishers and in
crease of 20 per cent in the rates for
publishing legal notices, and on July
1st- they will be advanced from rs
cents to 90 cents per folio. During
the war period. when the newspapers
were expected to and did give gem
erously of their space for the promo
tion of war activities, prices in all
other lines were increased tremendous
ly. Paper, ink, type and all of the
material used by the publisher adj
vanced from 100 to 500 per- cent,
while subscription and advertising
rates were increased on an average
of only 33 1-3 per cent. In many ca
ses the burden proved greater than
publishers could bear, and scores of
papers were forced to suspend. Those
which have managed to survive need
the raise in rates on legal advertis-
ing, and the action of the legislature,
while belated, will enable them to re-
coup some of the losses which have
been sustained in the last few years.

S REDWOOD FALLS,
Progras
Starts Wednesday
CHAUTAUQUA SEASON TO OPEN
JUNE 20; FINE TALENT TO
APPEAR AT EACH SESSION.

The 1921 Chautauqua season opens
in Redwood Falls Wednesday after
noon, June 20 for fourteen sessions
of interest and instruction by the best
talent now appearing on Chautauquua
platforms. The season is most auspi-
ciously opened by DIR. Stanley l..
Krebs who gives his lecture Two
Snakes in Eden. DIR. Krebs is, accord
ing to the statement of DIR. A. W..
Ross of Redwood Falls, without an
equal on the American lecture plat
form. While it is unfortunate that
SO excellent number is featured for
afternoon program. it is expected that
business people will make a special
effort to hear DR.. Krebs. Harry
Starnes, the special demonstrator of
electrical wonders is the attraction
for the evening and both programs
are prologued by Wheelock's Indian
Orchestra.
While all other numbers of the pro-
gram are very promising there are at
least two numbers which are verita-
BILE sshighlights." One of these is the
grand concert given Thursday even
ing, June 30 by the American soprano
Ellen Beach Yaw, who sings the en-
tire program. The afternoon program
for this day will be piano recital by
Franklin Cameron, Ellen Beach
Yaw's accompanist and a pianist Of
international fame. Miss Edna Over
by will read during the afternoon pro-
gram.
The second of these notable pro-
grams is a lecture, Master Minds
and Master Wits" by Frank Dilnot,
editor of the London Globe. This
lecture is given the evening of the
last day of the season and should
prove one of the most valuable, if not
the most valuable attraction of the
entire season.
Lighter programs will be. given by
the Virginia Girls, Josh Lee, the read
er and humorist, the Midland Metro
politans, the Wales Players, and 9th
ers. The list of lectures includes DIR.
G. Whitfield Ray, DIR. Ira Berry and
DIR. Gabriel Mcclure. Every number
is good one and the attendance
should be large. The programs will
be given as heretofore in the large
tent on the school grounds.

Auditor Chase
Visits Ramsey Park
STATE AUDITOR PLEASED WITH
STATES PROPERTY; PLANS
FOR FUTURE VISITS.

R. P. Chase, auditor of the State of
Minnesota, made his first visit to
Ramsey State Park Wednesday of
last week, accompanied by Mrs. Chase
and their daughter, and F..M. john
son of Saint Paul. Mr.. Chase and his
party came to Redwood Falls from
Fairfax where they visited Fort
Ridgley Park and went from here to
Sleepy Eye to visit the newly acquired
state park there. The tour was one
of inspection of the states property
and Mr.. Chase expects to visit In
the same way, and very soon, each of
the other state parks.
Mr.. Chase expressed himself as
greatly pleased with what has already
been done in the way of developing
Ramsey Park and also with the ma
tural beauties of the park property.
It IS his intention, as it is that of
Governor Preus who has always been
greatly interested in the state park
holdings, to adopt a uniform system
of management for these parks, and
to perfect State Park System as a
part of the plan to make Minnesota
a Mecca for summer tourists. In
connection with this plan Mr..
Chase will return within few weeks
to Ramsey Park, going over the park
with an engineer with view to map
ping out the future development, and
making an approximation of the fin
ancial requirements of the Park.
The Redwood Falls plan of having
a committee representing the citizens
of the town to work in cooperation
with. the park superintendent, met
with Mr.. Chase's hearty approval and
commendation The present COM
mittee consisting of Messrs Keefe,
Gold, Hitchcock, Aune and Baldwin
was asked to continue it's service and
Marion johnson will continue as park
supervisor. Much of the future de-
yelopment Of this splendid property
and its worth as an asset to the city
as well as to the state depends upon
the citizens of Redwood Falls and
their cooperation with the state of
ficers in their plans.

calf club and to the pig club entrants.
The entire days trip was one of
great interest to those making it and
full of useful information to the chill
dren visited and especially to those
making the trip and assisting in the
comparison of the various animals.
Some very fine specimen Of the Angus,
Herford and Shorthorn were seen.
The animals are in fine condition, and,
according to the club leaders who have
seen them from time to time, they
are showing fine growth. With still
three months before the final exhibit

promise Of making this years baby
beef exhibit one of which the county
