LABOR PLENTIFUL IN FRUIT
AND AGRICULTURAL SECTIONS

Present indications show that there
will be no labor shortage among the
farmers and fruit men this year, such
as made it hard for them last season,
and that rather there will be an over
supply in the valley.
AS the pear season comes on and
the demand for help increases, there
are far more calls for work than there
are for help. 1t seems that more of
the farmers are fixed to do their own
work this year than usual, as to date
there have been very few inquiries of
the employment offices for help, and
most of those inquiring are offering
very little inducement in the way of
wages.

Of this district are not expecting any

RATE SLASH
ORDER IS ISSUED
10 PER CENT CUT In EFFECT
BEFORE DECEMBER 27.

Washington, D.. c., Nov. 23.--A
positive order was issued by the in
terstate commerce commission today
requiring railroads to put the ap-
proximately 16 per cent decrease in
hay and grain rates into effect on or
before next December 27.
The order follows up the decision
given October 20 by the commission
which declared grain and hay rates
from the Mississippi valley to the Pa
cific coast unreasonably high, but
which did not carry compulsory or
ders. The October decision instruct
ed the railroads to make the reduc'
ton by November 20, which was
not done because the railroads open
ed negotiations with TIE commission
suggesting that 10 per cent de-
crease in freight rates on all agricul-
tural products be submitted for the
larger decrease on grain products
and hay alone.
The commission, however, by the
order issued today, disregarded the
compromise proposed by the railroads
and makes the larger decreases or
hay and grain mandatory upon the
roads.
The order issued today made speci-
fic and definite the hay and grain re
ductions. The original decision sale
railroads should reduce the rates or
the products concerned by one-haii
of the. increases given in 1920.
The commission today ordered
hay and grain rates bet cen points IL
mountain-Pa territory at no
more than 1875 per cent above tht
rates in effect before the 1920 in
creases. Between points in the west
ern group. as defined in its decision
where 40 per cent increases were al
lowed in 1920, the commission toda.
ordered them made effective as ~
per cent; between other western

WITH BUSINESS
MUCH SELLINB TODAY AND
CLERKS AND PROPRIETORS
VERY BUSY.

Great success has attended the ef-
forts of Madison business men who
made a bid for extra trading thru
cooperative advertising that found
it's way into homes all over the
county.
Not in some weeks has this city
and its stores and places of business
been so well patronized as today, the
date for special reductions and cash
premiums. Everywhere, in stores,
banks, restaurants there were to be
found groups of clerks and also man
ayers busily engaged in looking after
the wants of customers many of
whom came great distances to avail
themselves of bargain day privilege.
Especially did, we find clothing
stores, shoe stores and grocery stores
taking care of people who were eager
to do holiday buying.
Both sides of Egan avenue were
lined with autos and many were the
coupons handed out along with pur-
chases unprecedented in weeks.
Merchants are all reporting a
brisk business and the days receipts
for home trade prove quite satisfac-
tory.
A great deal of interest Is yet to
come when those holding coupons
are to be Informed this evening OF
the ones holding prize winners. The
drawing occurs between eight and
nine O'Clock in the Huntimer garage
on Center street west. Someone is
going to receive free gift of $2O

ly a winner and similar advertising
matter goes ont again for the month

ing the public for the interest the.
have manifested in making liberal

treasurer's allowance be too small
to supply the demand, application
being made through the treasurer al

BANDITS RAID
FARM DWELLING
BACHELOR FARMER VICTIM ROB-
BERS--MAKE HIM STAND IN
COLD IN NIGHT CLOTHING.

Sisseton, Nov. 23.-Compelled un-
der threats of death to turn over $50
in cash which he had concealed in
his house, and then forced to stand
outside dressed in his night clothes
for nearly an hour until two bandits
had repaired their stalled auto en-
CINE so they could make their escape
was the thrilling experience of Peter
Staven, a Roberts county farmer
Staven is a bachelor and lives alone
After retiring for the night he was
summoned to his door by loud knock
ing. Two men were there. They stat
ed they were lost and inquired the
direction to Browns Valley. MINI
Then the two men forced their way
into the house, covered Stayen with
and demanded that he open the lit
tie safe which he had in his home
and turn over to them the money it
was supposed to contain. Staven was
so excited by the holdup that he
couldn't. poem the safe. and assured
the bandits there was no money in
it, anyway.
Then on threats of instant death
they compelled him to tell about and
bring forth the $50 in cash which he
confessed having elsewhere in the
house. Then the bandits, who were
masked by means OF handkerchiefs
placed over their faces, went outside
to make their getaway in the auto
they had driven up to the barn.
The engine had stalled, and they
compelled Staven, still in his night
clothing, to go to the barn with them
and remain beside the car during a
period of nearly an hour until 1t
could be repaired. During this time
Staven suffered severely from the
cold Besides being SO lightly clad
he also was barefooted. He stated
afterward that having to stand in
the cold so long was worse than the
money loss.
No trace of the bandits has been
found although officers sought their
trail as soon aus notified of the hold
up and robbery.
