THE REFEREE
Fairies
(By Albert Apple)

Fairies
Conan Doyle stirs up much argu-
ment by his announcement that ne
believes in fairies. He goes as FAR
as to publish nature photographs IN
which fairies are shown about the
size of butterflies and with the same
kind of wings.
1t would be a mistake to "invest
gate this from the angle of trick
photography. Whether fairies exist
or not. doesn't matter. 1t is d good
thing to believe in them. Life would
be drab without such illusions as
fairies, Santa Claus and ar castles.
Do you remember your heartache
when disillusioned on the subject
Of Santa Claus?
Bare-Backs
Richard N. Speaight, organizer Of
the international photographers ex-
hibit held in London, comments
that women are getting under
cover.
Modesty is coming back to mod
ern photography he says, mi there
is a noticeable desire on the part OF
women to abandon baroness.
1t is part of the reaction against
jazz life.

ROCHDALE COO ERATIVE
PLAN EXPLAINED
Daily Letter by Frederic J. HasIsin

WASHINGTON, Oct, 81. - In
hasa DAYS of high living costs
wiGespread interest is being mani
tested in a nationwide plan Of CO.
operative buying, production anu
distribution. Farmers n 1rult
growers are perfecting marketlhs
organizations to protect their inter
ests, and it is urged that 1t is hlgn
time that something was done al
behalf of the consumers.
Whenever a project of this nature
is under. consideration Is
directed naturally to the
nlan which has operated success
tullv in England for more than
three-ouarters of q century. Tnls
organization embodies what Is per-
haps the largest and most prosper,
ous cooperative system the Worlo
! has ever known and its advocates
say there is no reason why II cou4o
not be adapted to this country.
The cooperative movement IN
Great Britain started with the corn
mills and baking societies that were
established in the closing years OF
the eighteenth century n the hrst
decade of the nineteenth. II re.
suited from a millers' monopoly that
had advanced the price of flour to
an exorbitant level. Mills and bak-
cries were operated on a ready
money basis, and a little later ROD
ert owen came along with his COM
munistic experiments.
1t was not until 1874 when h
Rochdale Society of Equitable Plo-
neers was founded, however, that
the movement attained real proper
lions. The objects of this society
were the sale of provisions, ct Get
era, the building and buying OF
houses for members, the employ
ment of out-of-work members IN
manufacture, ito establish a self
supporting home colony OF united
interests" and to start a temper
ance hotel. Doing business on a
strictly cash basis and furnishing
goods of first class quality were
principles of the original co-opera-
tive movement that were adopted
by the new society, but W new
ideas were taken up that were
to prove the foundation for success
full cooperation. First Of these was
the abandonment of the attempt to
sell at cost prices.
While 1t may not have been dem
onstrated that any cooperative plan
On a cost price basis was doomed
to failure it is certain that the pros
perity of the movement dated from
the discarding of that principle.
Profits on Purchases Shared
The second of the new ideas was
the system of dividing profits upon
purchases. Instead Of deriving their
benefits from cooperation through
being able to buy at greatly lower
ed prices the members Of the so

TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

& Two important questions are to be found at the bottom Of the
ballot that will be put in the hands of the voters on election day
One of these questions concerns the bonding of the state for $40,
5000 for the completion of the state highway system. The other
concerns only Perth Amboy and is whether or not the members of
the police force shall receive a raise in pay.
Improved roads are desirable, but with the patent pavemen
scandal in the state the voters are inclined to look with suspicion
on any proposition that would place such an enormous sum in the
hands of those who have been so friendly to the patent pavement
interests in the past. 1t is safe to say that had not so much
money been paid for patented top dressings on some of the roads
already improved there would be more miles of improved roads
today and it would not require such a large sum to complete the
highway system.
The second question is something for the voters of the city to
settle according to their best judgment. 1t is a local matter pure
and simple. The work of the policemen is f familiar to all, their
living conditions are the same as the rest OF us and it is for the
voters to say whether these men ought to have more pay than
they are now receiving.

Chapman Delivers
Linehan's Protege Stops SaurO in Sec
cnd-Referee's Ruling In Main Bout
Guarantees Real Action In Local
Arena In The Future

Boxing fans of this community owe
Mgr. D. j. Linehan vote of apprecia-
ton for what he has accomplished
in promoting the boxing game here.
His two programs at the Armory this
winter have been exceptionally good
ones. Poor weather and bad roads
have kept the attendance down, but
Mr.. Linehan sees to it that his aud
fences, whether large or small, get
the best exhibition that the available
talent can give. His conscientious
efforts in this regard are appreciated
by those who have been able to at
tend, and their recommendations will
insure capacity houses later when the
roads are open so that the fans can
get here from neighboring towns.
Mr.. Linehan not only devotes time
and energy to the signing up of talent
and the many other details of staging
the bouts, but he takes an active and
leading part in the trs ming of local
boxers. His ability in this line was
demonstrated Tuesday evening in the
great improvement shown by both
Chapman and Finley, especially the
former, and also Bennett and Par
sons.
In the main bout Tuesday evening,
Cunningham and Lambert, St. Paul
welteIweights from Salvatore's Rose
Room, ran up against the rigid rules
of the State Boxing Commission when
they tried to pet their way through
ten rounds. Referee Quinn tried to
urge them to earnest endeavor for
five rounds, but when they insisted on
earning their money by staging an ex-
ceptionally friendly brand of room
mate gym. boxing the bout was called
off and Cunningham's pay held up.
There We're flashes of speedy, clev-
Ell, light boxing in couple of their
rounds, and the audience appreciated
the little bit they did show, but the
referees decision was the only course
open if the fans are to be guaranteed
their moneys worth in the future.
This will discourage Twin City, or
any other professional talent from the
practice of coming here to stall
through eight or ten rounds Just to
get their money and beat it back to
the Rose Room.
The semi-windup, between Langdon
Chapman of this city and Mike Sauro
of st. Paul was different again-it
was real fight, while it lasted. AT

Not All Social

While we hope to develop the social
side of the organization to a degree
which will make it attractive to all
members, that is by no means the sole
aim. All ex-service men have read
more or. less of the activities of the
National organization along legisla-
tive lines, etc., but perhaps few real
ize that these activities can be carried
out only through the support of the
hundreds of local Posts Throughout
the country. That is why u is essen
tial that the Posts maintain and in
crease their individual memberships.
The Government paid millions to the
railroads for real or fancied damages
resulting from government control
during the war; hundreds of disabled
soldiers We're unable to get even civil
recognition in their applications for
government compensation. This is
but one phase of the work which the
national Legion organization is doing
for the ex-serivce men. They are get
ting results. Do your part by giving
them more power through your sup
port. Join the local Post.

A Great Game

One of the most exciting games Of
basketball ever played on local floor
was the great battle between the Red
& White and the Eau Claire Normal
CUNT at the Normal gym. last Friday
evening.
The first half went for eighteen
minutes before field basket was
made. Eau Claire won the honors of
this period by margin of to 8.
River Falls evened up the tally
soon after the opening of the second
half, and from then on the game see
sawed from lead of one or two
points for one team and then the
other until about four minutes were
left to play, when River Falls, with
a long shot by Carolan, and lead OF
four points, played the stalling game
to perfection, despite frantic efforts
of the visitors to break it up
Free throws closed up the gap two
points, and when the pistol closed the
game River Falls was winner by the
close margin of IL to Is.
It would be hard to pick an out
standing star of this great game.
Buttenhoff would perhaps be given
shade in the general verdict. Hecer-
talnly played wonderful game on
the offense, and his defense against
the monster Eau Claire center was
certainly a grand exhibition. Caro-
Ian was marked man, and every
time he moved two, and sometimes
three visitors were sent to cover him.
but DESPITE this handicap he was a
leading factor in the offense, not to
mention his fast and clever defensive
work.
Melvin, playing in the place of Bet
eel, who could not start in conference
basketball until the opening of the
present semester, gave the best ex-
hibition of his career. Claflin and
Fields held up their end of the game
in manner which gives them equal
honors in the victory
Eau Claire has yet to beat the local
school at basketball, but it is pecul-
lar fact that almost every game be-
tween these two schools has had
practically the same ending as last
Friday's-each victory being decided
by but from one to folr DointS
Tomorrow evening the Red & White
quint plays Stout at Menomonie. Sup
erior plays here next week Bethel
will be in the lineup for these games.

FORD RETAIL SALES
GO OVER MILLION
Show Increase of 100000 Cars and
Trucks Over Previous Year.

Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks
and Fordson Tractors have again ex-
ceeded the million mark for the year
1921, according to statement given
out today by the Ford Motor Company.
The Ford factory and assembly
plant production figures reached to-
tai of 1,050,740 cars, trucks and trac-
tors for the year, with retail sales by
dealers approximating 1,099,000 which
in the United States alone surpassed
the 1920 retail sales record by 104,213
Ford cars and trucks.
The Ford Company says the outlook
for 1922 is decidedly optimistic. In
fact, concrete evidences already exist
in that car and truck retail sales for
December 1921, exceeded December
1920 sales by almost 25 per cent, and
Fordson tractor retail sales for the
same period show an increase of over
100 per cent for December 1921, as
well as an increase over the total trac-
tor sales for the month of November.
These facts seem to indicate that
not only are the farmers buying more
freely, but that the General Public is
becoming more responsive and recep-
tive.
Another point brought out by a
comparison of production figures for
the past two years shows that Ford
enclosed cars are gaining in popular
ity, as % per cent of the 1921 produc-
ton We're Sedans and Coupes as a.
gainst total of Is per cent for the
year previous.
Recent reductions in Ford car and
truck prices brought them to a new
level. The Touring car now sells for
S348, the Runabout for 1919, the
Coupe for $3.50, the Sedan for $645,
the Chassis for 1885, and the Truck
for $43O, all F. o. B. Detroit.
This is the fourth price cut in the
past sixteen months. During that
time the price of the Touring car
alone has been cut from $575 to S348,
a reduction of 40 per cent. Reductions
on some of the other types have been
even greater.
The Ford Company believes that
this reduction, while not a large one,
is especially important at this time as
it should go long way toward stab
liking market conditions.
Ford is giving employment at pre-
sent to approximately 10000 men in
his plant at Detroit, the importance of
which is emphasized when conSidera-
ton is given to the fact that nearly
20 per cent of the City's population
is directly dependent upon the Ford
Motor Company.
The Kramer Auto Company is the
authorized agencyfor Ford's products.
