MEMORIAL FUND.
Friends Of Late UnIonIst Plan
Grand Ball to Raise Money.

Friends Of the late Walter M.
johnson, nominee for sheriff, are
planning to raise a Walter NJ. John
son Memorial fund. A grand ball
will be given at the Shrine Audi
torium on Tuesday. Nov. Z, election
night, for the purpose of giving the
fund a start. There will be dancing
until midnight and election returns
will be received until 3 a. m.
Mr.. Johnson contracted a large
number of bills in his campaign for
sheriff, in which he was backed by
many friends. His estate will
amount to little more than his
homestead which is encumbered
with a mortgage. There are many
unpaid obligations. all debts of
honor, which his friends are deter
mined to pay.
Walter Johnson, while living,
never turned a deaf ear to an ap-
peal for help. He gave literally
from his meager purse. He went out
of his way every day of his life to
assist some one in misfortune. Such
men do not accumulate for them

Central Labor Political Commit
tee Elects New Officers.

The Central Labor Political com
mittee. non-partisan organization
Of delegates representing Duluth
labor unions, met Friday evening at
Woodmen hall and reorganized by
electing Filing Munkeby, chairman
to succeed John E. Jensen and D.
+. Demore, secretary to succeed
Henry l.. NORM.
The committee voted to center its
efforts on the nominees of the
Farmer-Iabor party for state Of
fices and the United States senate,
on William l.. Carss for Congress,
running on the Democratic ticket
and on the labor candidates for the
state legislature.
Henry l.. NORM is the candidate
endorsed by the labor committee
for the senate in the Fiftyninth dis
trict. w. l.. Bernard has been en-
dorsed for the house in that district.
G. 0. Lockhart and Chauncey
Peterson are the labor candidates
Cor the legislature in the Fifty
eighth district.
A peculiar situation obtains in the
Fifty y-eighth district with reference
to the senatorial candidates. E. r..
Ribenack was endorsed at a meet
ing held in May, conditioned on
whether or not he would pledge
himself to vote for the repeal of the
Brooks Coleman act, against a
state police bill and an industrial
court bill. Senator Ribenack has
stated that he is opposed to the
Brooks-Coleman act. is against g.
state police and the creation OF an
industrial court.
Since the May meeting James Null
hern of the Theatrical Stage EN-
p!oyes' union filed for the senate
and was nominated at the June pri-
mary election. His union friends
are now asking that the Central
Political committee endorse his
candidacy. The committee finds
itself in an embarrassing situation.
The sentiment seems to be to keep
its hands off the contest in the
Fifty eighth district and let the con-
testants fight it out between them
selves.
George M. Peterson is favored for
senator in the Fiftyseventh district
against c. E. Adams, the present
incumbent. Senator Adams voted
for the Brooks-Coleman bill and fo1
that and other reasons is in bad with

KELLOGG SCORED
BY MRS. 0LESEN
At WEST DULUTH
Democratic Candidate For Sen
ate Discusses Issues.

Mrs. Anna Dickey Olesen Of Clo-
quet, Democratic candidate for the
United States senate, came to Du-
luth from Two Harbors in her flivver
last Friday evening and addressed
the largest political meeting held in
West Duluth in years.
The meeting was held at Dor
medy's hall and long before the hour
Of beginning there was standing
room only. Hundreds were turned
away. She spoke on the political
issues for two hours and her speech
was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause.
Mrs Oleson discussed the tariff
like a veteran. She declared the
Fordney bill would increase the cost
of living to the American people by
two billion dollars a year. Under
that bill" she said, the industries
that pay the lowest wages enjoy the
highest protection" She spent CONF
siderable time on the wool schedule
and said that the new law would
place an average tax Of four dollars
on every suit Of clothes and seven
dollars on every overcOat. But,
above all it would prove a death
blow to the farmer
Mrs. Olesen discussed the labor
question at some length. She favored
collective bargaining and opposed
government coercion. She came out
strongly against any sort Of a can't
strike law that would handcuff
workers to their jobs.
Speaking of the shopmen's strike
she said: II would rather be de-
featcd standing with the shopmen
than to be elected standing against
them" She pronounced the Esch-
Cummins law an abomination and
said it should be repealed.
Senator kellogg was called to
task for his vote in favor of seating
Eewbcrry Of Michigan. She related
the story Of the Michigan election
and told how Newberry had bought
his seat in the highest legislative
body in the world. IF I am elected"
she said. 'I'll vote to reopen the
Newberry case"
One forgets that she is a woman
asshe expounds her political faith
toner audience. II ask no favor
because l am a woman she says,
and l want no person to be pred
JUDGED against me for the same
leason."
Following the West Duluth meet
Ing Mrs. Olesen was hurried to
"oodmen hall where the Normanna
Glee club was giving a bazaar. She
spoke briefly, avoiding politics, and
paid a fine tribute TO the Norwegian
people, "a sturdy and rugged race
whose singing had captivated the
hearts of all people,"
Mrs. Olesen was warmly received
In Duluth and expects TO visit the
city again before the close of the
campaign.

THE MAN WHO INVENTED
STRINGLESS BEANS.

If such a fancyful thing should
ever materialize as gastronomic hall
of fame, Calvin N. Keeney of LIE
Roy, N. Y, should have conspic-
uous niche just inside the turn-stile.
But probably you never heard OF
Calvin N. Keeney or what he has
done for our valiant army of vege-
tarians. Listen, and you shall
hear! He is the man who took the
strings out of String Beans. Isn't
that enough claim to fame for any
Individual?
Some Of us can remember when
it was necessary either to strip off
the strings with a darning needle
before we cooked our Beans or else
unwind them gracefully from our
teeth after the meal was over.
Keeney didn't like either job, and
inasmuch as it was his daily task to
grow Bean seeds for nation of
backyard gardeners, he was in a
particularly strategic position for
winning the gratitude of millions.
He went at his mission with grim
determination and pair of cordu-
roy trousers. Both were needed,
shut especially the trousers, for from
the hour in which he solemnly de-
clared, IT will string the Beans be-
fore they are planted or strangle In
the attempt" he spent his waking
hours crawling on hands and knees
through the Bean fields looking for
Bean without Irvine. He insisted
that Nature was forever missing a
stitch here and there and that in all
probability there was Bean some
where which hadn't been properly
sewed up. Well, he was right. The
Bean was there, but so effectually
hidden that the trouser knees were
well worn before Keeney found it..
1t was hot, sunny day, too, and
Keeney was perspiring. He needed
his big bandanna handkerchief, but
in the interests of science and gas
tronOmics he tied it to the bush con-
tanning the great discovery, while he
went crawling along the rows in
search of its running mate. The
upshot of the whole thing was that
the Bean grower, and he is one of
the biggest in the country ,(meas-
ured by acres, l mean) found
enough stringless Beans to plant a
special bed the next year.
The crop resulting showed an in
creasing percentage of Beans minus
the strings and the performance was
repeated the next year and the year
after, and so on, until a race of
genuine stringless Beans had been
established.

BRIDAL CUSTOMS.

For bride to buy her own
flowers is ominous of discord.
A rose from the bridal wreath of
one you love betokens happiness.
An old custom was for the bride
to pick her own flowers to insure
good happiness.
II a bride wears tuberOses, it is
sign of the mourning she will soon
have to wear.
1t is lucky to find a flower from
the brides bouquet. That means
an early marriage.
II a girl wears a gown with rose
buds on it she will not be a bride
until it is worn out.
If a bride is scratched by a thorn
in her bouquet life will have its
little irritations for her.
In Scotland brides and their at
tendant maids think it good omen
to wear some ornament in the way
of a thistle.
The Scotch bride who can get
piece of white heather to wear at
her wedding is sure her future life
will be full of happiness.
II the bride separates the flowers
in her bouquet and throws them the
one who catches the largest number
will be married first.
The bridal bouquet thrown by the
bride to the wedding party means a
wedding for the girl who catches it

One of our exchanges comes
pretty near hitting the nail on the
head when it says the mistake made
by Henry Ford was his announce
ment that he proposed to use Muscle
Shoals to manufacture nitrite to
cheaper the fertilizers of the farm
ers. Henry was too frank and open.
BY this announcement he brought to
Washington the lobbyists of the
phosphate manufacturers who are sc
10th to see the present high prices
that they are charging the farmers
reduced. Then of course the friends
of Newberry who bought the Michi-
gan Senatorship had it in for Henry
Ford, who ran against Newberry and
forced the exposure of his methods
All in all the government which was
done with Muscle Shoals after the
war and wanted to get rid of it now
pretends to see other uses for it and
is shifting from one excuse to an
other to avoid having Mr.. Ford Sc
cure it. These pretended friends OF
the farmer care little about him
when big interest like the Phos-
phate Trust raises kick or when
his interests conflict with a chance
to hit a political foe.

Fertilizer Last Year.


According to figures just issued
by the Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture, four out of every five
farmers in the state used CONNER
cial fertilizer in 1921. The returns
showed that 1892 farmers used
IN average of 2.3 tons of fertilizer
each, the total for the state being
S67,130 tons valued at $9,774,645.
Lancaster, one of the most pro-
ductive counties in the United
States, used over $4,000 tons, worth
Just short of $1,OOO,0OO Ninety
four per cent of the farmers in the
county were represented in that
total, and used an average of So
tons per acre apiece.
The influence of the large cities
upon the type of farming followed
by those engaged in feeding their
populations is illustrated in the
figures for Philadelphia County.
Ninety-eight per cent Of the farmers
IN that county used commercial fer

THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSCCfATlON
THE COAL SITUATION.

Director Geo. Otis Smith, of the
United States Geological Survey, in
discussing the soft coal situation,
says:
After attending the conference
which the Secretary of Commerce
has had with the coal operators, as
we'll as living with the coal question
for weeks, / am fully convinced that
the plan Secretary Hoover is engi-
neering in the interest of the public
holds larger promise of keeping
coal prices down than any other
move that is feasible at this time.
In simple terms of current coal
production and consumption, the
present situation is loaded. Since
April our mines have put on the
cars only about half as much coal as
the country has burned. Fortunate
ly, the output is slowly increasing,
but no possible stocks of coal in
storage can long stand this drain of
31s to 4 million tons a week. Yet,
the complacent public sleeps, seem
ingly awaiting some explosion to
arouse it to action. Such an eff
fective alarm could come in the
shape of sudden jump in coal
prices, but Mr.. Hoover and the coal
operators have not thought it safe
to permit the past to be repeated,
and they are agreed that the safety
frst move is to put some definite
limit on prices.
The buying public should keep in
mind that the $3.50 which is set UP
as a fair price for most of the coal
fields south of the Ohio and Potomac
is a maximum price and that 1t ap-
plies only to spot coal. More than
half of the present output of these
fields is still under contract and in
view of the steadier business these
contracts permit the contract coal
\ is normally delivered at much lower
Z figures, and those who will insure
Z themselves with new contracts can
1 also get much better terms than this
opOL Pl lCCs
Moreover, the maximum fair price
4 is set up as only temporary meas
ure to steady the nerves of what
I threatened to be runaway market.
It is hoped that this $3.50 price will
become only mark to show where
( the 1922. price of coal was halted.
A repetition of the $500, $500,
and $1,000 prices of 1920 is what
Mr. Hoover is. trying to avoid. The
public should remember that two
weeks ago, when the leading coal
producers were first called to Wash
ington, the price had begun to jump
20 81 and even higher. The appeal
then made to the sellers of coal for
cooperation fortunately met with a
sympathetic response. for the coal
industry knows better than the pub
Tic the dangers of runaway market
TO all concerned.
With these facts before me, I
question either the logic or the
memory of whoever attacks this CO.
operative move, in which the repre-
sentative of the public and the coal
operators are joining.
