Radicals Control
Mil City Council
SOCIALIST ALDERMEN FORCE
MINNEAPOLIS TO WELCOME
ANTI-WAR CONVICT.

With socialist-labor aldermen in con-
troll, the city council has voted on be-
half of the city Of Minneapolis to ex-
tend an official municipal welcome to
Jacob o. Bentall, socialist, on his re-
turn from the federal penitentiary at
Leavenworth, where he has served a
term for attempting to cause insu-
bordination, disloyalty, mutiny and re-
fusal of duty in the military forces OF
the United States" in time of war.
He was also convicted on federal
charge that he "wiIlfulIy attempted to
cause insubordinatiOn, disloyalty, mu-
tiny and refusal of duty by certain
persons then and there in the naval
forces of the United States
The United States government
charged, in evidence presented to q
federal grand jury, that in speech al
Hutchinson, Mimi, on July 81, 1917
Bentall said:
'sYou boys don't have to go. Stand
up for your rights"
Socialist-labor aldermen were in
control at the council meeting late
yesterday, and by vote of 10 to 8
authorized the president to appoint a
committee to give Bentall an official
welcome on his return from United
States prison. Conservative aldermen
demanded a roll call, but did not have
sufficient numbers to vote the motion
down.
The committee appointed to well
come the return of Bentall was made
up entirely of socialists. Bentall, at
one time socialistic candidate for gov
ernor of Minnesota, has just been re-
leased from Leavenworth prison where
he served a term on charges brought
against him by the United States
government for disloyalty.
Back in 1917, two indictments were
returned against Bentall by a federal
grand jury. One charged him with in
ducing his hired man, John F. Kas-
sube, "a years old, to refuse to regist-
er for the war service. He was con-
victed and sentenced to serve one year
in the Crow Wing county Jail. This
term was served.
The other indictment charged him
with attempting to cause insubordi-
nation, discomfort and >mutiny in the
military and naval forces of the Unit
ed States.

Cldgue Advocates
Set Grain Prices
ONE HUNDRED MAN BLOC IN
CONGRESS WILL FAVOR PRICE
FIXING BILL.

A new farm bloc in congress, re-
crulted by recent elections to a 100
man strong organization, will report
a corn and wheat price fixing bill
fayorably out of committees at a spe-
clal session of congress or at its next
regular session and may win the fight
on the floor for it, according to Con-
gresham Frank Clague of the sec
ond Minnesota congressional district.
In an address at Window, Tuesday
evening. He gave strong encourage
ment to the supporters of the grain
price fixing movement which is
spreading rapidly through the western
counties of Minnesota and the states
OF North and South Dakota, when he
spoke to an audience of nearly 1000
farmers at Window.
The meeting concluded with the
adoption of resolution calling upon
President Coolidge to call a special
session of congress and also to call
an agricultural meeting in the north
west at which delegates from the
grain raising states would be redre-
sented
Farmers were present from all the
thirteen counties of the second dis
trict.
The Window meeting is the eighth
that has been conducted since the
price fixing campaign was started
two weeks ago.
"Unless the farmer gets cost of pro-
duction for his crops, in three years
SO per cent of the farmers of this
area will be lost by their present op-
erations," Mr.. Clague said. "The
east. does not understand. 1t points
to the War Finance corporation and
the intermediate credit board, and
says, see what we have done for you.
The farmer has borrowed too much
money. Credit has been too good.
We want opportunity to pay"
''It is practical to stabilize agricul-
tural prices and it is the duty of con-
gress to do it. think it can be ac-
complished. We have now an or
ganization in congress of virtually
100 men. We do not vote as republi-
cans, democrats, farmer-laborites or
Nonpartisans, but as farmers
'sIf the price of corn and wheat is
fixed higher the other prices will fol-
low. The next two and three years
are to be the most oppressive in our
agricultural history. We must econo-
mize and trim at every turn. We
must trim in schoolhouse construc-
ton, roads, bitches and in every pos
sible way; we must hang on until
we can get on an equal basis with
other parts of the country.

were State Senator c. w. Gillian OF

president of the Minnesota Farm bu.

- Pays Tribute
MEMORIAL SERVICE HELD IN
MEMORY OF NATIONS
FALLEN LEADER.

memorial SERVICE was nelQ
the armory Friday afternoon ir
butte to the memory of :
Harding who was buried ..cE
Ohio on that day. Fran .e
presentative-in-C Congress D. oS \. The
service was opened by an vocation
delivered by Lloyd v. Harmon. A
mixed quartet, consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. w. Ward, Mrs. Max Treu and
VIM. G. NJ. Smith with Miss Florence
Thune accompanying, sang Crossing
the Bar" Mr.. Clague spoke briefly
of Mr.. Harding as official Washington
knew him. He paid tribute to his
simpleness, his directness and his
willingness to do everything he could
to untangle the problems that were
facing the government, giving rath-
-er intimate picture of the president
during his working hours.
Mr.. Harmon delivered the address
of the afternoon. He began by saying
that he was handicapped as all speak
ers were handicapped on that day by
the lack of words worthy to pay fitting
tribute to Harding He said that
America, the infant among nations,
was great because of her men, Events
and political issues are quickly for
gotten but great men live forever in
the minds of the people, This is the
second time nation has paid tribute
to Mr.. Harding. The first time was
when America conferred upon him the
highest honor that is hers to offer.
1t was tribute to his ability. Mr..
Harmon spoke of the sorrowing null
titudes that had stood with bowed
heads in the heat of the sun or in the
rain, in daytime and at night as the
funeral train rushed by. In country
giving such display of devotion and
patriotism there is no place for an
archy.
Briefly the speaker went over Mr..
Harding's record in public life. He
told how in all official and private
capacities he had always upheld pro-
gressive measures that were for the
nations good. He touched on the
presidents struggle to convince the
people that the World Court is for the
common good. 1t is court of ar
bitration among civilized nations, a
court that will exert moral force. His
policy was one of patience and for
bearance, calm study and moderate
discussion. The keynote of his career
was good will. He did what he
thought was righteous in every crisis
of his life. He loved the church and
was devout Christian. He died as
ne had lived, in simpleness and gem
tleness.
In closing Mr.. Harmon said: "On
cannot be. To add brightness to the
sun or glory to the name of Warren G..
Harding is alike impossible. In
solemn awe pronounce his name and
in its naked deathless splendor leave
it shining on
The quartet sang "Abide With Me"
in closing and Mr.. Harmon pronounc-
ed the benediction.

Simplicity Marks
Harding Burial
BUSINESS CEASES AS NATION
STANDS IN MOURNING FOR
PRESIDENT HARDING.

Last Friday afternoon practically
every wheel of industry of the nation
was at standstill, places of amuse-
ment were closed and sporting events
were postponed as the remains of
President Harding were entombed in
the burial vault at Marion. Trains
over the entire country came to a
standstill at the burial hour and all
telegraph and telephone wires were
silent. Countless thousands stood
with bowed heads at Marion as the
last rites were performed. Millions
of people throughout the country
gathered together in churches and
meeting places to pay homage to the
memory of the man who is mourned
by the entire nation.
The funeral ceremony at Marion
was simple one. 1t was but the
ceremony that would be accorded any
American citizen by his friends and
home people who best knew the man
who had lived and labored among
them for years. No ceremonial OF
sorrow filed the waiting hours before
the funeral. Up until the time that
the body was carried to the grass
grown vault in the Marion cemetery
a constant line filed by the casket
guarded ceaselessly by the armed
men who have kept constant vigil
over it on the long journey homeward
At the cemetery prayer was offered
by Rev. Jesse Swank of the Methodist
Episcopal church and as the caske'
was placed in the vault the choir sang
Nearer My God to Thee. The body
will later be removed to suitable
memorial that will be erected for its
reception.

Gas War Hits
Redwood Falls
REDWOOD COUNTY OIL co. BE-
GINS CUT. STANDARD GOES BE-
LOW. OTHERS FALL IN LINE.

The gasoline war that has been
raging in South Dakota during the
past few days hit Redwood Falls Tu-
esday morning. The Redwood County
Oil Co. announced a cut of 6.6 cents
per gallon on gasoline prices, making
gasoline retail at III per gallon at the
present time. Shortly after this an
nouncement the Pure Oil Company
brought their price down to meet the
cut. The White Eagle Co. with a sta
tion at Arnett's Garage and the Sim
clair Oil Co. at the Ford garage i'm
mediately brought prices down ac-
ordingly. The Standard Oil station
received orders at eleven o'clock Tues
day morning to cut the price on gaso-
line down to 1853 cents gallon. This
made their price 3 of a cent lower
than their competitors in Redwood
Falls and 60 cents lower than the
former price.
At one o'clock Tuesday afternoon
the other stations brought their prices
down to meet the Standard Oil Com
pany's cut and gasoline is now retail
ing at all stations in Redwood Falls at
1913 cents per gallon.
Governor j. A. o. Preus Monday
ordered an immediate investigation of
gasoline prices in Minnesota by the
state department of agriculture.
Upon his return from Chicago, Gov
ernor Preus conferred with N. J.
Holmberg, state commissioner of agri-
culture, and issued brief statement
ordering the investigation. Mr.. Holm
berg said that the investigation would
begin at once.
"The consumers of gasoline in Min
nesota are entitled to the same, or ap-
proximately the same price on gaso-
line as the people of South Dakota, !"
Governor Preus stated. 'The Stan
dard Oil company has met the COM
petition of South Dakota and is either
able to do this at profit or the peo-
pie of Minnesota and other states are
paying the losses of this and other
companies in South Dakota. The ad-
ministration commits itself to do ev-
erything it is empowered by law to
do"
With gasoline in Bismarck retailing
at 28.3 cents per gallon Governor
Nestos of North Dakota sent tele-
gram to the board of directors of the
Standard Oil Co. of Indiana asking
that the Is cent price now in force
in South Dakota be extended into
North Dakota. AS yet he has receiv-
ed no reply and nothing will be done
officially until he does.

PRESIDENT Holds
Cabinet Meeting
COOLIDGE DISCUSSES DEPART
MENT PROBLEMS AT INFORM
AL CABINET MEETING.

Upon his return to Washington Pre-
sident Coolidge called an unofficial
cabinet meeting" in his suite at the
hotel. Secretary heads of the various
government branches came and dis
cussed the problems of their depart
ments.
Their call was the first of the day
and occupied the entire morning.
TIE hrst question pressing for ac-
tion is the resignation of George
Christian as secretary to the presi-
dent, who announced his resignation
In Marion yesterday almost immedi-
ateiy after the funeral. The usual
procedure of resignation has been in
the past for man to tender his re-
signation to the president first, either
verbal or written.
Mr.. Coolidge, however, did not re-
sceive word from Mr.. Christian and
hence would make no statement.
Emphasis on the necessity for the
most rigid economy in government op-
erations is expected to be an outstand-
ing feature of the policy to be an
nounced by President Coolidge.
Being committed broadly to the pro-
gram of the late president, the new
chief executive in taking up his heavy
task is SO constituted by his own tenn
perament and personal habits OF
severe simplicity as to exact such
practise in administering national fin
ances.
On the matter or pairing down some
of the present costs of government
maintenance there is growing belief
that President Coolidge will take ag-
gressive action. Because of this, at
tention has been directed to what his
attitude may be toward the federal
trade commission, which, for the pres
ent fiscal year, has an appropriation of
5000 900, or 100000 less than what it
sought.

School Opens
Here September a
ANNOUNCEMENT MADE OF OPE-
MING DATES, PLANS AND
NEW INSTRUCTORS.
(By Supt. Hargis)

The Redwood Falls schools will be-
gin September 4th. The first teach
ers' meeting will be held September
3rd for the purpose of outlining the
years work and getting acquainted.
The teaching staff for the year has
been completed, consisting of
ly prepared for their particular work.
There will be few changes from the
text books which were used last year.
In order to lower the cost of securing
books, arrangements have been made
whereby students may bring their
second hand books to the high school
when they enroll. The books may be
left and a student win be appointed
to take care of the book exchange.
Mr.. A. F. Dahlberg who has charge
of the Agriculture in the high school
is now ready for work and this week
will endeavor to visit the boys who
are carrying on projects in connection
with the Smith-Hughes work in the
high school. He will also be glad to
talk with any boy who is considering
entering the department this fall.
Pupils in the grades are requested
not to purchase any pen holders or
tablets until they receive direction as
to the kind to purchase the first day
of school from their teachers.
Considerable repair work has been
done on the high school building this
summer. A number of rooms have
been redecorated and the walls of
the halls painted and wood work
vanished. Part of the roof is being
covered with a patent roofing and the
remainder has been given coat of
tar paint
In order to conserve fuel the space
between the windows and the brick
wall has been caulked which will make
the room much more comfortable dur
ing the cold weather. In both build
ings the floors will be thoroughly
scrubbed, tops of seats washed and
varnished and every part of the build
ing made as sanitary as possible. All
preparation for the opening of school
will be completed by September 1st.
1t is especially urged that children
begin school the first day as it not
only works hardship for the pupil
who is absent, but it handicaps the
other children and lays an extra bur
den on the teacher

PRESIDENT HARDING'S GREAT SERVICE
 TO ALASKA.

Tho vieit of the President of the Unitde States end three members of his Cabinet is one of the big things the history of Alaska-one of the biggest since Americas acquisition of the Territory. It IS not light matter for the President to leave the capital and the multitudinous National and world affairs behind him. It is matter of very large importance when he leaves them far behind and for long time his trip to Alaska makes neces- ,tary It is small sacrifice of time and convenience President Harding making for the people of this Territory.
 For this great service Alaskans offer the only medium that could be acceptable-a full of sincere appreciation and welcome from the depths Of her peoples hearts,
 And this appreciation of President Harding is ac- centuatcd by the interest he has taken in Alaska the beginning of his administration He has given ample evidence of his abiding friendship for the Territory throughout the more than two years he has been at the head of the Naon-an interest that has eliminated in this unprecedented visit with all that 1t implies

DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN ON STUMP
 FOR THIRD PARTY.

That political parties do not what they once in the United States probably never better
 illustrated than by the circumstance that Senator Robert NJ. La Toilette, Republican of Wisconsin, and Senator Burton K. Wheeler Democrat of Montana, are both in Minnesota making speeches in favor of the election of Magnus Johnson, Farmer-Labor didate for United States Senator to succeed the late Senator Knue Nelson. Both the Democratic and Re- publican Parties have regular nominees in the race for the seat.
 Senator Wheeler excuses his activity, however, by the statement that the Democratic nominee has no chance and he desires to progressive Sena- tor elected. Senator La Toilette makes excuse or apology and could in truth do
