Rev John Birrell, (formerly of Min
eral Point), met with serious acci-
dent on highway 10, short distance

crashing into the cement culvert, he
succeeded in turning the car so that

bell was badly bruised. Mrs. Birrell
will be taken to Madison this week,
where she will receive better medi-
cal attention. She is recovering as
well as can be expected.
The many friends of the BirrelIs s
and Campbell's extend much SYM
pathy to those who were injured

SECRETARY OF COMMERCE
UPHOLDS HIS COAL PACT
Hoover Replies to Senate Resolution
Says Action Has Halted Sharp
increases.

Washington, June 8.-Belief that
the price-tixing agreement entered
into with soft coal operators will pre-
vent sharp increases in price was ex-
PRESSED by Secretary of Commerce
Hoover in q statement sent to the
senate. The statement was in reply
TO the resolution of inquiry adopted
at the suggestion Of Senator Walsh
of Massachusetts.
Secretary, Hoover defended his ac-
ton in making the arrangement with
the operators, stating at the same
time that while it could have no force
in law. it was hoped that the state
ment of the opinion Of the adminlstra-
ton as to what constitutes fair price
will operate to keep coal prices from
rising. He said:
ANY collective agreements or any
erection Of committees in the trades
for enforcement might be criticized as
a violation Of the law even if it might
result in benefit to the public. There
fore the entire part OF the adminlStra-
tion is confined to a statement of
opinion of what is fair with the hope
that it may be adhered to by each in
dividual. The result SO far has been
to halt the rise and to secure cOnsld-
cradle reductions in certain cases."
Secretary Hoover ignored the pro-
tests filed with Senator Walsh and
Senator BOrah, chairman of the edu-
cation and labor committee, by re-
tailers to the effect that Hoover's ac'
ton in fixing the maximum price at
$3.50 per ton has resulted in that be-
coming the minimum price, and that
retailers who have been buying coal
at the mine at $1.75 are now obliged
to pay $3.50 as a result of the price
fixing agreement. He justified the tx
ing of prices, saying:
ut was deemed necessary to use
the influence Of the administration to
halt the prices and if possible prevent
a repetition of the price panic of 1920
when spot mine prices rose to as high
as $12 per ton AS result of the ac-
tivities undertaken, the price has halt
ed and has even receded in some dis
tricts, in various amounts from 5C
cents to 81 rer ton.
"As to what the course of prices
may be, I am unable to state. / am
in hopes the action taken may save
the public from a repetition of such
profiteering as developed on previous
occasions"

BANKER STILL MISSING.
Montfort Mystery Deepens-Suicide
Theory Abandoned.

The location of Clyde Stephens,
missing cashier Of the Montfort State
Bank, is a mystery which has not yet
been solved. A careful search over
the entire rough country near Mont
fort has revealed nothing. Hundreds
of people have searched for cleWs to
his whereabouts through every cave
and digging hole in that section OF
the country. The fact that Stephens
did not leave his watch and fountain
pen with his coat and other effects
found soon after it was discovered
that he was missing. This fact is
emphasized by those handling the
case as proof that Stephens did not
commit suicide. He also attempted
to make a collection for the bank at
the farm house where he was last
seen. A man would not take watch,
pens, and money with him if he in
tended to slay himself.
1t is rumored that one of Stephens
close relatives received a telegram
from him from Minneapolis. The
discovery Of the bank book of Mrs.
Barbara Stevens, 88 year old widow,
who entrusted about $4,000 of her
funds to Clyde Stephens, adds to the
mystery.
Many people who knew him be-
lieve that Stephens left to obtain fl
nancial aid and they feel sure he will
return to MOntfOrt.

the broker pays for a yearly service to him.
which divides the expense and gives us our
profit.
In the sale OF any standard commodity the
retail price contains every legitimate expense
including that of sales and overhead. There
fore, service charge and that OF the broker
should be included in the price you place on
your property.
Don't say to the broker: II want $4,000
and you can have all you get over that amount.
That is grossly unfair breeds dishonesty and
stagnates realty sales.
Boiled down, ask you to pay a bonus
OF $50 for supreme service, for properly
equipping and enlisting the combined
brains and energy Of several thousand
selected brokers to push the sale o. your
property. SIS when start action and
SIS when we get resulss-that's fair, isn't
