Some of Mr.. Davis friends
ought to remind him that the
defation policy of the Federal
Reserve system, which he blames
for all the ills which befell the
farmer, was not entirely a Re-
publican scheme. Mr.. Davis
himself gives as the date upon
which this policy was initiated,
June 80, 1920. 1t really started
earlier than that, but even on
June 80, 1920, the Federal Re-
serve Board was exactly 100 per
cent the creation of Woodrow
Wilson. 1t was presided over
by w. P. Harding, a Southern
Democrat, appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson, and it included as
ex-officio members, Mr.. Wilson'S
Secretary of the Treasury and
his Comptroller of the Currency.

SUPPORT THE FAIR.

For several weeks there have
appeared in our columns articles
of interest calling the attention
of our readers to the County
Fair which will be held at Chapel
Point, beginning Tuesday, Oct.
7th, and ending Thursday, Oct.
9th, as well as an advertisement
setting forth in more detail the
program for the several days.
Besides this publicity given the
event, the Fair Association has
just issued a catalogue contain.
ing the program and premium
list of the Fair.
This rs the first large fair ever
staged in the county and should
be patronized generously and
Fundamentally by the people of

TO whom we can point with
pride and we hope that the ira
ditions of the past will be lived
up to fully on this occasion, that
we may more than ever glory in
the place OF our birth and poin t
again with singular pride to the
achievements Of our people. We
have every thing here that God
can give man to make life worth
while. We are singularly blessed
in hundreds of ways too numer-
GUS to mention, and we should
take advantage and grasp the
opportunities open to us.
This fair furnishes every citi
zen of the coHnty a golden op
portunity to show that we have
taken advantage ofour God giyer
opportunity through an exhibi
ton Of the products of our soil,
of our stock, of home work, anC
in every branch open to exhibit
ors. The opportunity is open t.
us to show the outside worlc
that we have here the garden
spot of the universe, and tina
our boast is not clap-trap or idle
talk.
The people of the county SHOULD
cooperate with those who have
spent so much time and labor K
make this fair one of the most
successful events ever held il
the county, and encourage then
in their efforts that greater ano
better results may be accom-
plished in future years, and thai
a big fair in our county will be
as it is in SO many other counties
of the State-the largest and
most important event of the
year. Place an exhibit of some
kind al, the fair this year wheth
er it is a prize-winner or not tC
demonstrate that you are lend
ing your encouragement to the
project and to those responsible
for the fair, that their efforts
have not been in vain and to in
sure the making of a fair an an,
nual event. This is no time tC
be a laggard. The success OF
failure of this fair is entirely uI
to the people of the county. All

ing his or her part to spread the
name and fame of our county to
all parts of the globe.
The history of our county is
filed with glorious and happy
traditions. Let's all join as one
to make our county stand out
greater and better than ever,
Let's hand down to future gen

The duty of every voter is
plain. 1t should be regarded as
a privilege; rather than as a
task, to record this expression
of ones mature judgment at the
polls. The temptation is to be-
lieve that one vote or a half doz-
en- votes will not change the re.
suit. But the grand totals are
made up of single votes cast.
One can speak as emphatically
and as decisively as another, and
the result, if there is not a full
and free expression of the pop
plar viii, can never be forecast.

are to receive mention for knowing
their chances were poor, stuck all

first team.
Eighteen men were awarded the
coveted "R" representing twelve gu

Ben jackson, Laidlaw, Wallin and
"Tiny" Byingtop, Herb Whittet and
Irish" Englund were veritable stone
walls of unimpenetrable character
Big and powerful they were tower
of strength on the defensive and
whir1winds on the offensive.
"Gil" Corbett at quarter developed
into perhaps the best quarterback in
this section. "Gir' is fast and shifty
on his feet, mixed his plays well and
ran the eleven like a well trained and
heady field general.
'Ish" Jueneman and HOsken at
halves were the fastest and shiftiest
pair of backs in. the west part OF th2
state and always backed up the line
in great style.

The blaze started between the cell

overheated pipe at l P. NJ. After the
flames had worked their way through
various parts of the garage building
which is of wood and stucco consttuc-
ton, garage men became aware that
the building was on fire.
When flames threatened adjoining
buildings, a call for help was sent
to the Clarkfeld and Montevideo fire
departments. Officials of the Whit

one-third of the loss was covered by
insurance. The bakery company did
not carry any insurance, Mr.. Ben
jamin said, while very little insurance
covered the loss to the variety store
Quick work on the part of garage
company employees helped keep down
the loss to the garage. Approximate
ly forty automobiles were run out by
the employers while the flames were
burning in the northeast corner of
the building. A large school bus,
however. was destroyed.

screenings in the shed, the problem OF
extinguishing the fire has proved
difficult.
At times the gas and smoke arising
from the coal pile have been so dense
as to seriously Inconvenience the EN-
ployes. Neighboring residents have
had to keep their windows closed at
times. In the beginning water was
used to extinguish the fire, but with
out success. AS the firemen make in
roads on the pile, they encounter red
hot Goals, which flare up as soon as
they come in contact with the air.
Water has to be used Immediately to
extinguish the blaze. The partly
burned coal is damaged about so per
cent, resembling coke.
Throwing water onto the coal pile
simply seals up the surface. The
screenings absorb the water and il
does not percolate through to the bot
tom, where the fire is located. AS
long as the burning coal get but little
air, the burning process IS very slow.
The situation has existed for ten
days and will continue to exist until
