of a German girl in the middle or

devoted to Radio. There will be a
hundred or more and each seat will
have an individual receiver. Trained
men will lecture on Radio" boys
and girls will be taught to make
their own sets and everyone who
wishes may listen in" OF course
this takes money, but Owatonna is
fortunate in having the Fonce Radio

that place. There will be many chill
dren's contests this year and a
horseshoe tournament. besides many
of the old standby features that have
to be in every fair. -sl
1.-The pike won't be so large this
year." Mr.. Klima said. but we are
running this fair for the people and
we have found that the people want
more fun. more entertainment, but
they want a different kind than the
shows on the pike. The two compan-
les of militia will help to entertain.
There will probably be three or
four hundred local people taking an
active part in the sports and games
at the fair, and we hope to make
this even a bigger feature from year
to year.
The Steele county fair will be held
week before the state fair.

STORY OF ILLINOIS
FAMILY COAL NINE

= TOR Is DESCRIBED
TEN MEN EMPLOYED
Wife and Son Manning Top
Works, While Husband
Digs Underground
[Associated Press Dispatch.l

Springfield, ILL.,, August o.-fn the
last few weeks persons living near
the farm OF Lewis P. Fisher, who
few years ago was pastor OF the
Christian church at Cantrall. mar
veled at the large output or the lit
tie family coal mine while no help
was available. But "close up" Of
operations at this mine, which is
ten mas north of Springfield,
would have revealed Mrs. Fisher
and her twelve year old son mann
ing the top works, firing the engine,
pulling the hosting levers, and
weighing the coal, while the former
preacher was below digging out the
fuel. -
Mr.. Fishers story is that of a
man who after leaving his pulpit dug
a coal mine virtually with his own
hands and later offered his mine to
the state of Illinois. Friends called
his undertaking wild adventure"
coal operators told him it would
cost 5000, and neighbors told him
plainly he was a fool. On the con-
trary, Mr.. Fisher with the occasional
aid of a young nephew, and with
knowledge cleaned from a few Ii
brary books performed virtually all
the work himself at nominal cost.
Mr.. Fisher retired from the min
istry to live on "a farm. AS the
winter of 1913 was dull time on
the farm, he and his son went out
began to dig a hole six feet square.
From an old threshing engine and
from parts of road grader he rig
ged up a hosting machine. He
bought additional equipment from
the profits Of his farming, for he
had no other funds to invest. In
1920 he began to take out coal.
Mined Fifty Tons Daily
Until he shut down recently he
had been taking out fifty tons day.
The mine has a capacity of about
one hunded tons Mr.. Fisher has
been using a force of ten men, but
in order to get coal to miners he
has operated the mine with the aid
of his wife and son, in the manner
described above.
An automatic dump, Mr.. Fishers
own invention, greatly reduces labor.
He built all the upper works him
self. There is coal under the entire
farm of 245 acres. There are 1000
acres of coal and adjacent to the
place, The vein is uniformly six
feet in thickness.
At Cantrall there is also an ola
mine which had been working about
fifty union miners. These men, Mr..
Fisher said, had been smewhat be-
wildered by his operations. h
said he was not opposed to the
union, but the men who had been
working his mine had not desired to
join the union and that he expected
to continue on non union basis.
In formally offering his mine to
the state. Mr.. Fisher wrote Acting
Governor Sterling that he was Eat lib
erty to take this mine with its
equipment and personnel of men and
operate it upon any basis that will
provide the state institutions with
coal.S

PRESIDENT SCHULTZ .
MAKES STATEMENT

j. o. Sehulze, president of
the Mankato Electric Trac-
ton company, today made
t7e following statement:
i"'Ihe city council last
night gave first reading to
an ordinance anullina the
franchise of the Mankato
Electric Traction company.
The reason, while not recit-
ed, we may assume to be the
refusal Of the company to
repave its tracks through the
wood block paving, on Front
street.
The company has ALWAYS
invited and welcomed an in
vestisation Of its eonten-
lions as to this Front street
work. While It would have
prSferred avoiding a lawsuit
with the city still since the
council has decided that this
is the only way a decision
can be arrived at, to that
extent the company well
comes the councils move.
Up to this time we have had
no opportunity 4 Of present
ing our case before any un-
biased tribunal.
1--WE wonder il their ac-
ton last night can be COM
menSed in all ways? While
there were several friendly
methods Of arriving at a ju-
dieial decision, why did the
council select the. one de-
cidedly unfriendly way"
