MINNEAPOLIS BOYS START NEW
ENTERPRISE.

Specializing in the writing and pro-
duction of multigraphed circular let
tiers, Meyer and Frank Eisenberg, two
we'll known local boys, invite their
friends and acquaintance to drop in
and look over their place of business.
From an idea evolved while these
men were in the army in France, has
grown a business which ordinarily
would take years to reach the stage
which their place has reached in a
few short months.
Their shop, the Letter Service Blu
reau, is completely equipped to han
die large volume of work, and the
proprietors make a speciality Of aid
ing their patrons in the composition
of compelling sales letters.
Both men are members of the B'nai
Birth, and one is a member of the
Gymal Doled club.

A. F. OF L. APPROVES
 BACK-TO-LAND BILL
Urges Congress to Pass Measure for
 Large Reclamation.

Washington, Aug. I9.-Represent- atives of the A. F. of L. are urging congress to pass national reclamation legislation that will open the way to the development of arid and waste lands in every section of the country and at the same time relieve the un- employed through establishment on the land of those now unable to se- cure land or secure work.
 At least half dozen bills, each containing admirable provisions, are before congress. The A. F. of L. representatives believe there is a sufficient favorable sentiment to se- cure passage of a single comprehen- sive measure, providing sufficient in terest is shown by the constituents of members of congress. The trade unionists are conferring daily with members of congress in the effort to combine the constructive features of the various measures, developing thereby a thorough American re- clamation program, national in scope.
 One of the principle immediate benefits of such a program, as seen by the labor representatives, is that 1t would open the way to former service men to secure homes and to gain a permanent status in American life, and that 1t would do the same for unemployed industrial workers.

CONGRESSMAN SAYS SPECIAL PRIVILEGE
 ESCAPES TAXATION
Lampert Kettles House With Speech Bristling With Hot
 Shot,

Washington, Aug. 1o.-Special priv elege escapes taxation, declared Con- gressman Lampert, of Wisconsin, in speech that bristled with statistics to prove that a tax on land values Is necessary.
 He showed that 25 cities in this country have land values estimated at more than $Io,ooo, ,ooo, ,ooo. This IS a sum greater by $4oo, 900 than the value of all farms, including buildings and other improvements, in 34 states, which contain a total of 3,5Io,3o1 farms or over one-half of all the farms in the United States.
 And bear in mind" said MT. Lam pert, that the census figures for 1920 were gathered during the period of highest imitation, when the price of farm property was a great deal high CT than it is today"
 Standing timber, valued by the gov ernment eight years ago at $6,ooo, GOO 900, exclusive of the land, exceeds by $2,ooo,ooo,ooo the value of all the big farms and ranches and their inn provements in II mountain and Pa cihc states.
 Franchises, pipe lines, stock yards, railroad rights of way, terminals of all kinds, government land grants and like monopolies and privileges have an estimated value of $15,ooo,- 100000, or more than the total value of all farm property i'll 22 states.
 The value of the vast deposits of coal, oil, iron, copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver and mineral beds is estimated at $75 100000, or about $7,ooo,- GOO, 900 more than the value of all farms, buildings and other improve mcnts in every state in the union

armed with a longsword and always outclassed my adversary in agility and generally in strength as well, it proved but child's play to me. Time and time again I won the applause of the bloodthirsty multitude, and toward the end there were cries that l be taken from the arena and be made a member of the hordes of Warhoon.
 Finally there were but three of us left, 8 great green warrior of some far northern horde, KantOs Kan, and my self. The other two were to battle and then I to fight the conQuerOr for the liberty which was accorded the final winner.
 Kantos Kan had fought several times during the day and like myself had always proven victorious, but oc- casionally by the smallest of margins especially when pitted against the green warriors. had little hope that he could best his giant adversary who had moved down all before him dur ing the day. The fellow lowered near ly sixteen feet in height, while KantOs Kan was some inches under six feet. AS they advanced to meet one another I saw for the first time trick of Martfan swordsmanship which cen tered Kantos Kan's every hope of vic tory and life on one cast of the dice, for. as he came to within about twen- ty feet of the huge fellow he threw his sword arm far behind him over his shoulder and with a mighty sweep hurled his weapon point foremost at the green warrior. It flew true as an arrow and piercing the poor devils heart laid him dead upon the arena.
 KantOs Kan and I were now pitted against each other but as we ap- preached to the encounter I whispered 10 him to prolong the battle until near ly dark in the hope that we might find some means of escape. Just as saw the sudden coming of dark I whis- pered to Kantos Kan to thrust his sword between my left arm and my body. AS he did so I staggered back cIaspfng the sword tightly with my arm and thus fell 10 the ground witl his weapon apparently prOtrudine from my chest. Kantos Kan perceived my coup and stepping quickly to mN side he placed his foot upon my neck and withdrawing his sword from my body gave me the final death blow through the neck which Is supposed to sever the jugular vein, but in this in stance the cold blade slipped harm lessly into the sand of the arena IT the darkness which had now faTle, none could tell but that he had really finished me. I whispered to him r. go and claim his freedom and ther

LUMBER KINGS TO RAISE PRICES AND
 THEN CUT WAGES
Association Head Points Way to More Profit at Expense
 0f ahor

Seattle, Aug. I0.-Lumber owners can do much to increase their prices and labor must take more reduction, says President Vinnedge, of the West Coast Lumbermen's association.
 In the West Coast Lumberman, Mr. Ninnedge writes that A-here is much that we can do in securing a higher average sales price for our lumber This we are endeavoring to bring about through the west coast forest products bureau, which is the market extension activity of the northwest lumber industry.
 'Labor has taken considerable re- duction and doubtless must take more"
 In line with this wage reduction policy the lumber barons have at tempted to foist company "union," known as the loyal legion of loggers and lumbermen, on workers in the lumber industry. All through the northwest, wherever this company 'union" functions, it has been the vehicle by which these employers re- duced wages and heightened hours, while charging the International Union of Timber Workers with being responsible for the high price of lum- ber
