Lower Wages and a
Craze for Luxury
Cause Crime Wave

LONDON, Nov. 26- (Associated
Press. MaiD-Lower wages and a
craze for luxurious living are held ac-
countable by English prison COVER
nors for many present-day, crimes in
report made by them to the Home
Office.
Although crime has dwindled con-
siderably during the past 20 years,
the number of prisoners for the year
1920-21 was 49,712, or 1925 more
than in the previous year. The re-
port however, states that 80 small
an increase in a year in which there
has been much unemployment and in
dustrial unrest is noteworthy"
The governor of Durham prison
says
"a new stamp of offender has
sprung into existence. Men and wo-
men of respectable antecedents and
parentage, in regular employment
and in no respects associated with the
criminal class, are taking to serious
crime with astounding facility"
The suggestion that spirit of law
lessness acquired by men while on
military service is responsible for
this is rejected by the governor, on
the ground that women in equal pro-
portion to men are the offenders. is
explanation is that high wages, once
easily earned and more easily spent,
are now not obtainable.
Men and women, boys and girls"
his report states, have all got used
to big money, out of all proportion
to the slight effort necessary TO OBJ
tain it," and he continues: "The econ
mic readjustment of the past year
has created a number of discomfort
ed reckless people, who do not real
ize that they have been living in an
artificial wage market, and uncon-
sciously resent the changed condi-
tions of supply and demand, work
and play. Money they must have to
provide the luxuries and amusements
to which they have grown accustom-
ed, so they steal, pilfer and loaf"
The governS of Shrewsbury pris-
on calls attention to the prevalence
of thefts on railways and elsewhere,
often by men with excellent long ser
vice records, and receiving high
wages.
A big increase in automobile thefts
is mentioned by the governor of
Wandsworth prison.
1t is proposed shortly to introduce
recreation classes in male convict pri-
sons and make it possible for convicts
to earn by good conduct and indus
try, the privilege of classes for read
ing, recitations, lectures and music.

Death Writes $50"
For Col. Watterson
ASSOCIATED PRESS

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 22--
Col. Henry WattersOn for many years
editor and publisher of the Louisville
Courier Journal died at his hotel here
this morning. He had been seriously
i'll only few days and his death, due
to congestion of the lungs and heart
failure had not been anticipated.
Messages from Louisville tell of the
universal sorrow and regret there
that his demise has occasioned.
News of the death of "Marse Hen
ry" Watterson occasions deep and
sincere sorrow through the news
paper world, more especially among
the older members of the craft be-
cause of the admiration they felt for
his remarkable abilities and their re-
spect for him as man and as editor.
Col. Watterson, born in 1840, was
one of the few survivors of the older
generation of newspaper men and for
wears had ranked as the most power
full editorial writer of his time. He
was one of the few who could publish
an editorial of four or more columns
in length and be sure that every
word and every line of it would be
read. He was a master of style, and
graceful English and strength and
mower radiated from all that he wrote
He has been excelled by no Metropo-
Titan editorial writer in a century
though resident in a smaller com
munity and he brought the Courier
Journal into the very foremost ranks
of newspapers. :,
For about ten years "Marse Henry
had been relinquishing control of his
paper more and more and becoming
less active in his profession, but his
editorials continued to be from
time to time feature of his paper.
A Democrat in politics, Republi-
cans while differing with his views
never questioned his honor or IN
tegrity and had the most wholesome
respect for the pen he welded.
AS a man, he was the truest type
of the old school Kentucky gentle
man.

D. L. Crimmins, the local manager
of the Redwood Falls Chautauqua sea-
son, announces that the first number
will be given on the afternoon of June

sionary purposes was made, over
$4,000. He spent seven years in
Africa and was not only the first man
to go UP the Congo after Stanley
came DOWN but was the second white
man to visit the Pigmies and the only
white man who ever crossed Mayombi
in both directions. Thrilling escapes
from death became commonplace.
DIR. G. Whitfield Ray is one of the
best living authorities on interior
South America. He was the official
explorer of the Bolivian Government,
which Government named Mt. Ray in
his honor. He discovered tribe of
Indians never visited by a white man
and who are supposed to- be the direct
descendents of the Incas. Both these
men are Fellows of the Royal Geo.
graphical Society of England.
DR.. Stanley L. Krebs, President OF
the Institute of Mercantile Art, and
international psychologist, Josh Lee,
the famous humorist and Harry
Starnes, the electrical wizard, will
have place with the numbers. Among
the musical novelties may be mention
ed Wheelock's Indian Band, headed by
J. Riley Wheelock, full blooded
Indian who was regimental band
master in the World War. Musicians
will be delighted with the announce
ment that Ernest Toy, famous Austria
lian violinist and his company have
been secured before his return to
Australia via the Orient; also the
Kaufman Male Quartet, ranked by
critics as the greatest male quartet
in the country. Other announcements
of Importance and further details will

Merchants Assn.
Plans Big Day
FIRST OF SERIES OF REDWOOn
FALLS BARGAIN DAYS TO
COME WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8.
Everybody Boosting.
w. A. HAUCK MADE SECRETARY
OF REDWOOD FALLS MER-
CHANTS ASSOCIATION.

Redwood Falls merchants, following
the lead of many of the other towns
in this section Of the state, last week

Association. The purpose of this or
ganization is to promote the business
effectiveness of Redwood Falls and the
first step will be the Inauguration of
monthly Bargain Days, the first of
which is to be held Wednesday, June
9Th.
Cities which have enjoyed such
Bargain Days for the past year or for
a period Of several months are loud
in the expression of satisfaction with
them both as benefit to the consumer
and as means of promoting business
for the merchants. Marshall, Hutch
inson and Montevideo are among the
towns in this vicinity which have fea-
tured such days with excellent success.
The last named city has had such an
event each month for the past four
years, and both merchants and buyers,
throughout Montevideo's trade terri
tory grow more enthusiastic over the
project each month.

video has been the secretary of the
Montevideo Association throughout it's
period of Bargain Days and has be-
come northwest authority on such
organizations among merchants. He
met with the merchants of Redwood
Falls Tuesday of last week and gave
much valuable and helpful information
on the best methods of launching the
project. His visit and talk did much
to convince the local men that such
an organization will be very beneficial
at this time, and his expert sugges-
tions will do much to lessen the num-
Der of mistakes usually made in start
ing.
w. A. Hauck has been made the
secretary of the Association and will
have charge of all business connected
with the Association, Mr.. Hauck's
past experience in the mercantile will
asst experience in the mercantile world
will prove an excellent assistant, in his
new work, to his native business alert
ness, and the fact that he has the con-
fidence Of all those who have in any
way been associated with him also
speaks well for his success and effect
ency. The Board of Directors of the
Association organized by appointing j.
R. Keefe, president; F. G. Hubbard,
vice president and R. A. Cooper, trea--
surer. The other members of the Board
are E. Henschke, M. A. Ebright, G.
Schultz and G. A. Barnes. Messrs-
Henschke, Ebright and Schultz have
charge of the membership campaign
and C. F. Gales, G. A. Jaehning and F.
G. Hubbard will have charge OF the adj
vertising. A campaign for member
ship was started Monday and the pre-
liminary arrangements for the first
Bargain Day will be well under way
this week. Mr.. Hauck has already
started his work and full announce

Redwood Falls Merchants Association Bargain Day. Weaay June
Help Protect
Park Plants
VISITORS URGED TO OBEY Law
REGARDING PLANTS AND
TREES IN RAMSEY PARK.

There has been during the past few
weeks, and more particularly the last
few days, great deal of very serious
damage done to the plant life of
Ramsey Park by unthinking visitors
Children have been guilty of ruthlessly
picking the flowers, in many cases re-
moving the roots as well as the
blossoms and leaves. This is quite
bad enough, but considerably worse
is the action of several older people
who have watched this sort of thing
being done without in anyway protest
ing against it, and have in many cases
been guilty themselves of removing
small shrubs, ferns etc, taking these
deliberately from the Park to beautify
their own residence properties.
Whether this is being done through
ignorance or simply through a care
lessness which is absolutely criminal
it is hard to say but the Park Com
mittee and Marion Johnson, the Park
supervisor are throughly aroused over
the matter and will hereafter punish
all such depredations to the full extent
of the law.
Section 1868, General Statues of
Minnesota, 1913, makes the following
very specific statement which must be
needed by every visitor to the Park.
Ignorance of the law or the age of the
offender does not excuse.
ANY person who shall willfully cut.
destroy or mutilate or cause to be will
fully cut, destroyed or mutilated any
tree, shrub, timber, evergreen, or
plants of any kind, shall be guilty of
a misdemean0r and upon conviction
thereof by any court having COM
petent jurisdiction, shall be punished
by fine of not less than ten dollars
and not more that one hundred dollars
for each Offense, or be imprisoned in
the County Jail of Redwood County,
Minnesota, for not less than ten days
or more than ninty days for each Of
fense."
1t is the hope of those who have the
Parks interests in charge that each
visitor will regard the Park as piece
of his own personal property and be
as much interested in it's welfare as
though he were the sole owner. One
reason for the setting aside of this
tract is that this section of Minnesota
may have a preserve for wild flowers,
beautiful native trees and shrubbery,
birds and all the other attractions
which make the Park so lovely. II
these things are not preserved the
whole place becomes waste, a mOnu-
ment to mans vandalism instead of to
his sense Of appreciation. However
if it is impossible to get the necessary
cooperation from Park visitors
through appealing to the sense of
propritorship, the managers fully in
TEND to enforce the law and every one
found guilty of molesting the plant or
animal life of the Park in any way
whatever will certainly be punished.
instruction should be given in all
homes to this effect in order that
children may fully understand the law
and the reason for it's existence. This
is a splendid opportunity for little
object lesson in good citizenship.
