COMMUNITY CLUB DANCE
CONSIDERED A SUCCESS

People who have not been known
to attend a public dance for years
were out to the dance staged under
the auspices of the Woman's Civic
and Community club at the new
armory Friday evening. The reason
is that the club is raising funds to
finance child: welfare work in Be-
midi and also help finance the loan
closet now being arranged by this
organization. Although the armory
would have accommodated much
larger attendance, it is felt that the
affair was quite we'll attended.
Besides the modern dances, an
old-fashioned square dance was CIV
en- and apparently enjoyed by those
taking part. Card tables were pro-
vided in the balcony for those who
- did not care to dance. Music was
furnished by a five-piece orchestra.
The club is now financing the
purchase of milk for those school
children who need nutrition due to
the fact that they are now under
weight. A recent survey of the To-
Gals schools disclosed large num-
Der of pupils in need of such nutrI
ton.

Survived by His Parents and
Several Brothers, Sisters;
Has Sister in Bemidji

Conrad B. Dromness, a farmer
living about four miles north of Pine
wood, met his death about 2 O'Clock
Friday afternoon while going from
his farm home to Pinewood with d
load of wood. In some manner the
team, which is credited with being
very spirited, became frightened and
started to run when about a mile
from Pinewood and it was then that
Mr.. Dromness fell between the horses
his clothing catching on the under
side Of the wagon and dragging him
head first for about quarter of
mile.
Although no one witnessed the
runaway, so far as is known, the de-
tails have been gathered from the
appearance of the road and the con-
dition of the wagon.
Continuing their run, the horses
ran into Pinewood, where they were
known, and citizens Of that town
Immediately went in search of their
owner, finding him about three
quarters of q mile from town, lying
with his face down, in the road, just
inside of thewheel-tracks. County
Coroner H. N. Mckee of Bemidji
was Immediately summoned, he going
to Pinewood Friday afternoon and
returning home this morning. He
reports that Mr.. Dromness evidently
met his death soon after falling from
the wagon, since it appears that his
neck was broken. The body dragged
in between the wheels for quar-
ter of mile, being closed to one
wheel which Showed blood stains.
In continuing their run, the horses
scattered wood all along the road,
the wagon finally breaking in two.
They finally became separated from
the wagon near the railroad tracks
at Pinewood, leaving the wood rack
on one side of the road and the front
end of the wagon on the other.
The dead man is "a years, month
and 8 days of age. He is a single
man but is survived by several BROTH
ers and sisters, besides his parents,

LUMBER MARKET REPORT
IS FEATURED BY DEMAND
Retailers, With Only Limited
Stocks, to Begin Spring
Buying January l

A strong demand continues to fea-
ture the lumber: market, the manu-
facturers being able to book more
business than they can handle
promptly, partly because the car
shortage has severely restricted ship
ments but also because the demand
is unusually large for this season
and is on a firm busines basis, not
speculative.
The supply of cars is not yet large
enough to enable lumber producers
to ship capacity, although it has
improved somewhat, especially in the
south. Many orders have to be
turned down because shipments can
not be made, as the mills continue
their policy of accepting only such
business as can be taken care of by
the car supply Immediately in pros
pect.
A careful investigation as to the
stocks in the major producing re-
gions, says the American Lumber
man, reveals an unusually large
amount of, lumber for sale. Mill
stocks, in addition to being small,
are poorly sorted; some grades and
workings are unobtainable while
others are in fair supply. Placing
orders for badly mixed cars is, there
fore, extremely difficult, SO that buy
ers have to shop around great deal.

surface conditions today, there are
many things that tend to confirm
the current bearish sentiment. The
principal bear argument that is be-
ing used, is the European situation.
It is difficult for most people to see
how conditions in the United States
can improve much without an in
crease in our foreign trade. In the
European situation and in the Tariff
Act they see little encouragement in
this direction. Other bearish argu-
ments being put forward are: the
high commodity price level that still
exists, the failure of wages to come
down, the increasing tendency OF
costs, the small margin of profit in
many lines, the poor outlook for
certain industries, and political con-
ditions.

look rosy back in December 1920

Crookston Lumebr Co. Plant
No. / Ends Saving Season
Friday Evening
THREE LOGGING CAMPS
NOW BEING OPERATED
General Lumber Conditions
Are Considered Better
Than a Year Ago

Closing the longest saving season
in the history of the plant, the
Crookston Lumber Co. mill No. 1
completed its seasons saving Fri
day night at. g o'clock. Although
the plant has been operated at great
er capacity in previous years, when
both day and night shifts were en-
ploved, the season itself this year
has been the longest. In previous
wears the last two or three weeks OF
operation were4performed under very
unthvorable' weather conditions as
a rule, but this year the weather has
been exceptionally suitable to a late
season run.
Present plans Of the company, as
announced by C. l.. listed, general
manager of the Bemidji plant, are
that the planning mill will operate all
winter. This will still give employ
ment to aslarge number of men, to-
eether with the shipping department.

will operate until next April or May,
according. to the present plans.
The demand for lumber is now
considered fair, and general lumber
conditions are much better than they
were a year ago, states Mr.. listed
During the past ten days the trans
portation service has been much i'm
proved, at least as far as the local
mill is concerned.
General lumber reports are optl-
mistic, although the car shortage has
had its effect at times. Retailers
are now, as a rule, getting along with
short stocks and will not begin their
spring buying until after the first
of the new. year. This usually IS
the case, since the majority of the
retailers desire to wait until after the

their new stocks for the spring trade.

Washington, Nov. 25-President
Harding has done sincere work in his
effort to keep his promise, made at
the beginning Of his term, to reor-
ganize the Government and elimi-
nate duplication of effort and waste.
There seems little doubt that the
joint committee, of which President
Harding's special representative,
Walter F. Brown, is chairman, will
be favorably reported upon to Con-
grcss. But there is Il long wrangle
ahead Of its proponents, because
both within and without the Govern

Consolidation Of the War and the
Navy departments is not likely to be
favorably received in either War or

will find many enemies in Congress.

SM00T TO BACK SALES
TAX IN NEXT CONGRESS
Utah Senator Will Then Be
Chairman of Powerful
Finance Committee
(By United Press)

; Washington, Nov. 25-A new cam
paign for the sales tax as the back
bone of the American system of taxa
ton will begin when the 68th Con-
gress comes into office March a next.
Senator Reed Smoot, Utah, chief
apostle of the sales tax in the Sem
ate, will then become chairman of
the powerful Senate finance COM
mittee.
Tax laws are written in the house
ways and means committeeman re-
written in the senate finance COM
mittee. Smoot, who fought in vain
to have the sales tax idea accepted
in the 1920 tax law, said when de-
feated then that before many years
the sales tax would be accepted and
would become the foundation of the
whole taxation scheme.
Revision of the tax laws will be
one Of the earliest demands upon
the new congress. Republican leaders
probably will resise any general re-
writing Of the law, though political
strategy may dictate their acquies-
cence in the demand for a new law.
Smoot is ready to take up the cud-
gels for his sales tax plan when tax
revision time comes around.
Revival of the excess profits tax
is another suggestion certain to be
advanced, probably by the Demo-
Gratis, who want it put back in modi-
fled form. The keynote Of the De-
mocratic assault on the Republican
tax law will be tightening of taxes
on small business and individuals of
small means and placing Of heavier
imports on big business.
