 WAR TIME BUSINESS
 During the war our sales reached tremendous heights" said the man. ager of one of New Works largest and most widely.known department stores. We hired hundreds of additional clerks to take care of this increased business. When the period of depres- sion set in we were forced to let a great part of our sales force go in order to adjust our store to the gen eral scheme of retrenchment Busi- ness has unquestionably been very bad for some time. But we are all looking forward to big holiday season sales, and if We can take present sales as criterion l believe We will find pros pcrity ushered in on a velvet cushion about the first of December. Today ago were becoming dusty on our shelves We are actually turning over our stocks. which seemed impossible in June. We have already hired number of extra sales people, and we have a list from which we will take on more and more as business improves. We are not taking on a big force out of any motive of altrusm, We are taking on additional sales people be- cause of the requirements of our in creased business
 We hear many people blaming the unemployment situation upon the merchants of the country. As a mat ter of fact. the workmen themselves really to blame During the war while they were getting the high wages, they neglected to provide against a rainy day. We were forced to pay salaries out of all proportion to the value of services rendered, and then when we had to cut our force and, in some instances, reduce salaries, we were charged with niggardliness and with a lack of interest in the welfare of the workers.
 But I think all this is over now The holiday business will be large, and this will give new impetus to the better business movement already under way"

At first he said that he was the young woman's husband, but later he changed his story and declared that she was his mistress. The Spaniard then unfolded story which astounded the police.

 The young women. who is also under arrest, corroborated the youths story. She likewise had first claimed she was Forts wife, and then she, too, con fessed that they were not married. but only friends" She admitted that she had strayed from the path of yir. tue and that Fort had persuaded her to reform.

BIG CHRISTMAS BUSINESS IS
 NOW IN SIGHT

NEW YORK, Nov %. Santa s pack will be well filled this Christmas despite present unemployment and business depression. according to managers of the big department stores here This optimistic prediction is the result of a careful watch of buying tendencies and a comparison with sales of other years.
 The gradual but certain upward swing of the business cycle is clearly evidenced in the constant increase in the number of daily purchases by the publican evidence that both men and women are profiting by the mer- chants advice to do their Christmas shopping early.
 A few short months ago merchants were complaining that the public was buying strictly in accordance with its immediate needs and Confining purchases to necessities Luxuries be- came a drug on the market and could hardly be sold at any price. Now however, these same merchants are the first to tell the world that good times are returning.
 BIG SALES NOW
 With the beginning Of cold weather came a strong demand for clothing underwear furs and shoes. Canned food, coal, meats and rugs were also in heavy demand. Heating appliances particularly electrical devices, find a ready sale. whereas there has been a very small turnover of these products during the last months
 Department stores, gauging their Christmas sales by present indica- tions. have begun to hire additional clerks and to replenish their stocks in anticipation of the holiday business, which, they believe. will surpass that of any pro-war years. This has contri- buted toward relief of the uuemploy. mcnt situation Increased business in

CHILDREN'S ACCIDENTS

Twenty thousand children. are
killed each year by accidents, accord
ing to figures given out by the Amer
lean Red Cross. The country may
spend it's millions to fight. disease;
And then 10000 of these little ones
in their needless inexperience of life
throw themselves, in the way of au,
tomobiles, fall out of windows, and
in other ways bring sudden and de.
vas!tating grief.
Some of these tragic fatalities
could be avoided by enforcement OF
laws and growing sense of decency
The motorist who tears through E
thickly settled street and considers
needless children as guilty of ,theil
own destruction, has elements OF
murder in his heart

FARM BUREAU KsAN FINANCE
GRAIN AGENCY CHAIRMAN
New Cooperative Marketing Com
pany Organizes to Sell Its
Members Crops.

Minnesota is playing a large part
in the organization of the United
States Grain Growers, Inc, thenew
national cooperative marketing
agency created by the farmers them
selves, according to reports received
from the board of directors by the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation.
w. F. Schilling, one of the Min
nesota farm bureau delegates to the
convention which launched the new
company, and now member of the
board of directors, has been elected
chairman Of the finance committee:
He is also a member of the organ
ization committee The task of put
ting the new sales agency into actual
operation has beene divided among
eight committees, which are now
working on sales methods, transpor-
tation, organization, legal problems,
finance, statistics, education and
pooling.
j. M. Anderson of St. Paul was
elected first vice president and C. H.
Gustafson Of Nebraska, president
Mr.. Gustafson was chairman of the
Committee of Seventeen, which
planned the grain marketing corpor-
alton after eight months investiga-
tion. The directors have just noti-
fled the Minnesota Farm Rureau fed
Grafton that arrangements have been
made to permit any grower to pool
one third Of his crop Other meth
ods include direct sales through the
new agency, and pooling of the grow
er's whole crop in a local, state or

Immediate Collective Action to
Be Settled if German Propo-
sails Are Unacceptable.
U. S. IS NOT INVITED
American Delegates Would, However,
Be Welcomed at Meeting-Ad-
vance on Ruhr Awaits Decision
of Supreme Council.

Lympne-The Allied governments
Will be invited to send representatives
to meeting of the Supreme council to
consider the German proposals, if they
are received in the meantime, and to
determine upon immediate collective
action should the German proposals
be unacceptable. This was decided
upon by Premiers Lloyd George and
BRAND at their conversations here.
If the British coal strike is ended tho
Supreme council will meet in Paris, If
the strike is not ended, it will meet in
London
u. S. Is Not Invited.
The United States government Will
not be invited to attend as it is not
s1gnatory to the Treaty of Versailles,
under which the Supreme Council
meets, but both premiers would well
come the presence of American DELE
gates.
They consider it unfortunate that
the German government should not
have sent a copy of it's latest propos-
ais to them, so that they might have
begun an examination at this meeting.
However, as Mr. Lloyd George said.
they would be glad to have them
through American hands.
Advance to Await Council Action.
It is learned authoritatively that no
advance on the Ruhr will be made
antil after definite decision and ap-
proval by the Supreme Council. Prem
lers Lloyd George and BRAND regard
Germany's note concerning her will
hngness to undertake reconstruction Of
The devastated regions as a distinct
concession, satisfactory as far as it
goes; but they feel compelled to re-
serve judgment regarding the offer OF
German labor, as France has her own
labor troubles and must examine this
project in the light of Frances inter-
hal situation.
Return Of British Troops Asked.
1t is learned from a French source
that M. BRAND requested the British
prime minister to return to their sta
tions four battalions of British troops,
one in Silesia and three on the Rhine,
which were brought back to England
On account of the coal strike He also
hsked for naval cooperation for a.
blockade OF Hamburg.

WHAT ONE Minister DID

A minister recently went into a
Nebraska town that had no church
and organized gymnasium, commun-
ity chorus, ladies' aid society, boy
scouts, and successful movie show.
These services to- the community
helped him to arouse interest in the
spiritual side of his task, and his
church work was very successful all
SO.
In these hustling days it is hard
to find people who will give time to
community organization. Often the
minister steps. in and fills the gap.
The clergyman who can lead in such
activities does not often lack a. good
congregation Sunday morning. z. =

turned to Grand Marais'% to

has purchased an interest, in

Mr.. Joynes needs no introduce

of the local wireless station
for three years, leaving here
three and a half years ago
to accept better position
with the same company, and
he therefore has a wide ac-
Quaintance.
The policy of the new firm will
be the same as has been pur-
sued by this store in the past
"a square deal to everybody,
which means quality first, and
then small profits and quick
sales. A continuance of the
liberal patronage already en-
joyed is solicited.

f. St. Minnesota farmers who

save the lives of famine sufferers in
Poland, Central Europe and Asia Mi
nor gave more grain, in proportion
to their crop, than any other state
in the union, officers of the Minneso-
ia Farm Bureau have been notified: :
Starting their corn relief drive al
most a month after the other states
launched the campaign, Minnesota
farmers took third place in the act

ois, which raised four and one-half
times as much corn as Minnesota,
gave little more than three times
as much for relief work. Ohio, which
raises twice as much, just equalled
Minnesota's record with a. cars.
Valued at $250,00o in Food
Every dollars worth of corn, at
American prices, represents food
worth at least $12 when it reaches
the famine zones, Carl S. Vrooman,
former assistant secretary of agri-
culture and director of the American
Farm Bureau federation corn relief
drive said. On that basis, Minnesota
federation officers announced, the
gift of the farmers of this state is
equivalent to- $25O,O0O in food for the
starving abroad.
The total gift of American farm
ers is 431 carloads of shelled corn, or
more than 100000 bushels.
Watonwon and Renville counties
tied for first place in Minnesota, each
giving five cars. Lyon county gave

Potter Thanks Farmers :
l.. p. Potter, president of, tha
state farm bureau federation, sent
a message of thanks to- the county
bureaus that made the drive a sue
cess.
*'The relief drive demonstrated tc
the whole state that the farmer is
as generous, as broad minded and as
public spirited as any other citizen
anywhere in the world" he said.
minnesota farmers did more thar
anyone had any right to- expect
| With spring, work keeping them in
the fields and bad roads hamperine
collections, it is almost marvellous
that in less than three weeks the
farmers should have raised more
than 40 carloads"
