The result of this scientific research, as announced

MankatO Creamery
Robbed Saturday
NEAT JOB OF YEGGMEN RE-
SUITS IN SMALL HAUL OF
CASH.

Yeggmen blew open the safe of the
Mankato Cooperative Creamery com.
pany, 515 North Front street, ear
ly Saturday morning and secured from
$40 to SIS. The robbery occurred
some time about 2:3O o'clock. Of
fcer Oliver Tufte made his regular
beat, each hour past the place last
night and noticed nothing unusual
at the creamery. Shortly before
four o'clock, when he looked in to
the large plate glass window, he
noticed the safe had been moved from
its usual place in the office. He
started an investigation and while
engaged in this, Mike Shons, the but
termaker, appeared to begin his usual
labors.
The officer and Schons found the
safe had been blown open. The ruins
of the door, papers and cement were
strewn over the floor. From the neat
job done, it is suspected that profess
sional yeggmen performed it.
They used a number of tools for
the job which belong to the cream
cry. The dial of the safe door was
knocked off and nitro glycerine placed
in the hole, causing the explosion.
The safe had been moved several
feet from it's place to side door of
the office, but upon reaching the door
it was found the safe was too large
to be passed through, so the robbers
did their work at this point.
1t is thought that they wanted to
get the safe out of view from any

Unique Goats
Will Visit Fair
NIFTY ANGORAS EXPECT TO
BE PRESENT AT REDWOOD
COUNTY FAIR.

An earnest effort. is being made to
have an exhibit Of .the unique, novel
and exceedingly interesting Long
Mohair 'Angoras the GOATS WITH
HUNDRED DOLLAR FLEECES--
at the Redwood County Fair which
opens in Redwood Falls September
22nd.
The Montana originator of this re-
markable type of goats is being ure-
ed to make an exhibit and though
this is the very first year these amin
ais have been available in numbers
permitting of display in distant
states, hope is entertained for sue
cessful outcome of the commendable
effort the enterprising and alert
secretary is making to have them
shown at the local Fair.
The fleece from these goats brings
from $500 to $4,000 pound accord
ing to its length and single feeces
sell for upwards of one hundred dol
lars. The hair is used as a substitute
for human hair in the manufacture
of gray switches, false pieces and
similar products for which it is in
great demand.
The animals are very handsome
with their silvery fleeces of long,
lustrous hair, their attractive faces,
bright eyes and their alert and ap-
pealing manner. 1t is said that they
require no more care on the farm
than sheep and that they can be
readily pastured with other livestock.

Pastor Speaks
on Labor Problem
REV. P. L. GROVE DISCUSSES RE-
LATION OF CHURCH AND
ECONOMIC PROBLEM.

Apropos of the annual observance
of Labor Day, Rev. Paul L. Grove
spoke at the Sunday evening service
in the Methodist Church on the Chris
tian Church and the Labor Problem.
That the only solution of the social
ed labor problem is to be found in
the applications of the principles Of
Christianity, was the theme which the
speaker thoughtfully and with great
logic expounded to the large congrega-
tion present.
In the class of capital Mr.. Grove
put every employer of men or wo-
men, from the farmer who employs
one man about the farm or one wo-
man about the home, to the big en-
terprises employing. thousands. In
the class of labor he included not only
the man wearing overalls and doing
menial work but every man or woman
who is working for wage. : The
present day industrial and economic
revolution is an argument between
the selfishness and lack of wisdom of
these two classes. As a background
for this revolution, the speaker spoke
briefly of the three great revolutions
that had preceded it; the revolution
from slavery, the revolt from political
tyranny and the revolt from religious
intolerance and restriction.
The concern of the church with the
present revolution lies in the fact that
the church is vitality interested in life
in its totality and the six days of la
Dor are very large part of this
total; the church has in it's member
ship both laborers and capitalists
working side by side for the further
ing of the things for which the church
stands; both of these elements of
economic society are looking to the
church for help in the struggle and
especially is each side looking to the
church for approval for its share in
that struggle. The matter has be-
come of such prominence and interest
that the church can no longer evade
it and one phase Of its problem is
how to best assist in the solution
without unjustly taking Sides.

September 18th
Is defense Day.
DEMONSTRATION
MADE ON SIXTH ANNIVER-
SARY OF ST. MIHIEL.

The Secretary of War has designat.
ed Friday, September 18th. as the
date for the defense test" and the
date has been designated nationally
as the National Defense Day. The
observance of such a day has several
purposes, among them being the very
important one of demonstrating to
the citizens of the United States the
effectiveness of the plans for the in
itial mobilization of armed forces and
civilian agencies and industries. In
addition it will emphasize the de-
pendency of the units upon the in
diyidual communities. 1t also offers
an opportunity for the explanation
and discussion of the National De-
fense Act as amended by the 1920
Congress. The observance of the day
has been proclaimed by the governors
of the states, is sponsored by the AM
erican Legion and it's Auxiliary and
will locally be. in charge of the vari-
Gus military organizations. In Red
wood Falls the National Guard, under
the direction of Captain w. A. Fraser.
will work with a committee of citi
zens, this committee to be appointed
by Mayor W.. T. Wilcox. Plans for
the day are just in the making but
will be announced in next weeks is
sues of the local papers.
The program as arranged by the
Secretary of War calls for the assem-
bly, and parade of all units of the
Regular Army, National Guard and
Organized Reserves, expanded. for the
day into war strength. This means
in Redwood Falls that the local Ma
tional Guard will parade, being
brought up to war strength, for the
day only, by volunteers from among
the memberhip of the American
Legion. In addition to such parade
there will be a program of appropri-
ate numbers including probably talk
on the National Defense Act, by Con-
grassman Frank Clague or some 9TH
er prominent statesman in case Mr.
Clague is unable to be present.
The Defense Test is in no sense a
military mobilization or demonstra-
tion in the accepted meaning of that
term. 1t is rather intended to be a
demonstration of the loyalty and pa
triotism of those on whom the pre-
servation of the country depends
Instead of being demonstration OF
military strength it will be rather a
showing of military weakness which
car. give no, offense to other nations
nor to any person who is thoughtfully
working for the doing away with all
war; AS President Coolidge says
1--WE want no more War. But we
want no weakness that invites i'm
position. A people who neglects their
national defense are. putting in jeo-
pardy their national honor" The
day is designed expressly to give citi-
zens of the nation chance to per-
sonify their patriotism, and, having
such design, should be participated IL
by every loyalist.
