boom IN 1919 and began to decrease
them last November when demand be-
gan rapidly~to contract. With inquiries
for steel greatly reduced last fall the
Steel Corporation soon found itself
ready to fill almost the entire wants
Of the country and business flowed
away from the Independents who were
charging premium. This disparity
was removed during the recent period
Of price cutting by independents, who
as a result attracted some business
from the Steel Corporation, whose
latest action was designed to meet the
new competition of the independents.
The latter reduced prices and wages.
The Steel Corporation has thus far an
nounced no intention of cutting the
hourly return to workers.
Viewed from the perspective of the
historian Of the whole period of after
the war economic adjustment in the
United States, the reduction of it's dis
count rate last week by the Federal
Reserve Bank in Boston is important
as the forerunner Of similar changes
by the other Reserve banks and by
central banks everywhere. From the
standpoint Of the present, however, it
indicates little more than that the
credit situation in New England has
improved sufficiently to permit of re-
taxation for the first time since the
banking war on imitation began in No
vember, 1919. The ratio Of reserves in
the First Federal Reserve District
(Boston) has climbed higher than 70
per cent. The district was among the
first to debate, and, therefore, at the
van in the reaction away from repres-
sive measures
Despite the sharp rally in stocks on
Friday and Saturday, average gains for
the week were moderate. The average
of twenty railroad stocks, which on
Thursday was at the lowest level of
the year, rose from 60.50 to 81 80 and
that Of thirty industrials crept up
from 74.10 to 74.87. Bond prices tended
toward slightly lower levels.

H. S. CARNIVAL
A HUNIDlNCER

Starting with five o'clock parade,
just to advertise the affair, and show
the people what they might expect in
the evening, the High School carnival
Friday evening was a big success from
every standpoint.
The halls of the High School were
thronged with happy folk all evening:
each one looking around in search OF
new mysteries, which never seemed
to run out. A hamburger stand was
maintained for those whose appetite
got the best of them. Ice cream and
pop corn were also there for the ask
ing and the five cents.
The side show, featuring the tall
man, and also the littlest fellow in the
world was good. They also had the
strong man, whose Herculean actions
brought words of amazement from
the stupeied onlookers. The wild
man was also there, dressed in the
skins of animals that he had perhaps
killed himself. His ferociousness was
of such variety that it was necessary
to handle him with pitchfork. At
that he came near getting the keeper
= Next the dancing and singing girls.
These were especially good. The
company was composed of six girls
each one an excellent singer. They
were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
DR.. Kill EN- Quick and DR.. Cut
Throat were there with their butcher
knives, and each performed opera
tions that would do honor to surgeons
of high rank. Audible gasps were
heard when DR.. Cut Throat severed
the cerebellum and the rest Of the .con.-
tents Of i upper story from the body
Of a victim, moved it. over onto a table
and allowed the "horrifed' specta-
tors to look at it. finally placing it
back on the body Of the victim. That
was enough for the reporter in that
chamber. Even though suffering
from the hamburger sandwich. we did
not care to risk our neck with those
bloodthirsty doctors.
The minstrel show wound up the
evenings entertainment. It was good.
If those actors had been real honest
to goodness "Niggers" it couldn't have
been any better
The whole affair last evening was
big success. according to the opin-
ion expressed by those present. 1t was
thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to
end. 3. 500

burned.
The cause of the fire is not known
but it is presumed that the little fell
low had been playing with matches
and accidentally ignited his clothes
or some inflammable material in the
building. Becoming frightened, it is
believed, he failed to try to save him
self, and was soon overcome by heat.
The building was practically de-
stroyed when the fire department ar
rived. Other children may have been
playing with him, but matches are
believed to have been the cause Of
the blaze.
Funeral arrangements have not
been completed yet. Word from
Washington from Mrs. Bemis' moth
err IS being awaited, before final ar
rangements are made. The funeral
will perhaps be private. Five broth
ers and one sister, besides the grief
stricken parents, mourn the loss of
the little fellow, who would have been
five years old in November. w
The body is being held at Coroner
n. O. Holberg's undertaking, parlors.
Because of the nature Of the child's

feet in Harris right wrist, it served
to lessen his fighting spirit, and after
a chase of about a mile and half,
he halted and gave himself up.
At Riverside Hospital today, he was
reported to have rested quite easily
last night, but is said to have very
badly fractured wrist. He is a young
fellow about "a years old, and far
from the criminal type, but is evident
ly young fellow, who together with
his companions, determined to make
little easy money. However, he
Jared little worse than the first two,.
but showed fighting spirit. Sheriff
Larson, in speaking of the incident
said 1--WE hate. to do such things, but
under the circumstances it was neces-
sary. It will perhaps mean a stiff
wrist for the young man for life, but
he refused to halt, and had to take the
consequences"
Unless infection sets in, his recov-
cry. will perhaps be rapid. .
+ The other two young fellows in the
county jail today were bemoaning
their fate, and wishing that such a
thing as whiskey running had never
been heard of. They also are young
fellows, perhaps about % or %, and
far from the criminal type such as
one would expect to find engaged in
such business. The time of hearing
had not been set this morning.
About twenty-five cases Of whiskey
were found in the two cars. which are
being held by authorities, pending the
outcome of the preliminary hearing.

Of, the finals in the high school meet,
the varsity track team will meet Mac

school men an opportunity to see two
collegiate teams competing in events
similar to those in which they are COM
peting.
The contests in music, debate and
oratory for high school students, will
be held the days of the track meet.
The meet this year is little later
than usual as during the nterschol-
astic event last year, superintendent
and principals Of the different high
schools passed resolutions requesting
the university authorities to hold the
meet not earlier than the third Satur-
day in May annually, provided this
day does not come earlier than May

different teams would have more time

making splendid record in canning:
Miss Hager is thirteen years old and
is enrolled in canning club work for
the third year. Miss Hager's pro-
ducts have received considerable at
tention because of the beautiful and
practical packs and the high quality
Of products that she has put out. This
year Miss Hager has entered the can,
ming contest conducted by the Hazel

West Virginia. This is national con-
test conducted in the interest of club
work. The United States is divided
into four sections and Miss Hager is
competing in the northern section.
This contest will close November LIST
Barnes county people are expecting
that Miss Hager will make credit
able record in this contest since she
has already made quite reputation
along this line. Last year she won
first prize in the club department on
her group of canning exhibits shown
at the county fair. At the Missouri
Slope Fair, held at Mandan last Sep
TENDER, she won several firsts on
fruits, vegetables and meats in the
club department besides several firsts
in the open class or women's depart
ment.
AS county champion Gamer, last
year she canned one hundred and
twelve quarts including sixteen va
rieties Of fruits, meats and vege-
tables. .-E
Miss Hager was awarded first
prize at Sioux City, Iowa. for the very
best jar>of canned goods on exhibition
in which young folks of twelve mid
western states were competing.
Miss Hager is very efficiently using
the one period cold pack method.
