The Editor, Douglas Daily Dlspatch
Dear Sir:
Noting the discussion by the
Chamber of Commerce directors for
a proposed farmers market in
Douglas; also the suggestion that a
market could be opened in a vacant
storeroom, 1 have talked this mat
ter over with several parties who
might be interested and they are
all of the opinion that there is no
suitable vacant building in Douglas
at the present time and that, in order
to open municipal market which
would have any chance of success
it would be necessary to erect a
new. building especially constructed
for the purpose.
In a market it is absolutely neces-
sary to have firstclass sanitary con-
ditions, involving cement floors and
adequate plumbing; also screens
around all stalls where food pro-
ducts are displayed and sold.
Several years ago, when the coun-
ty advanced about $1,000 for the
municipal market in Lowell 1T was
agreed by the supervisors that suf-
ficient money would be voted to
Douglas for similar purpose. I'm
der the present higher costs, it is
doubtful if building similar to the
Lowell market could be built for
less than $4,000 and this would
not take into account the cost of
the ground.
By all means, if Douglas is going
to furnish a market for the farmers
of the Sulphur Springs Valley, it
should be a credit to the town and
must be in central location and
up to date or it will not be patron
lied.
Douglas Booster.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
ANOTHER SHATTERED IDOL

ANOTHER SHATTERED IDOL
I do not like hero with nous
- tache,
For since 1 was d little, simple
These labial decorations marked the
evil Vaccinations
OF the gentlemen whose ways were
base and wild.
II recognized william when I saw
him,
Not because he struck at once a
sneering pose,
Or began to haze the hero with the
M roughness of a Nero,
But because he wore a moustache
meath his nose.
All the real red blooded people in
the dramas,
Who were brave and daring enc
mics of crime,
And who reused my admiration by
their ringing defamation,
Never saved the village any time.
I have seen full many a hero In my
childhood
But the mazes of my memory
trace
without rousing an impression of a
man of that profession
Who wore any form of whiskers
on his face.
Since the movies have usurped the
blood and thunder
That could once be only witnessed
on the stage,
l derive my satisfaction from that
noiseless style of action
Though perhaps really shouldn't
at my age.
And I've noticed, with contentment
and approval
That the man who with life's
struggle come to grips
Making love or fighting featly, shave
their visages completely,
While the Williams always mask
their upper lips.
But no longer does the cinema Adonis
ancient Greece,
Horsemen from the open spaces,
now half hide their long lean
faces
With the brushes worn by captains
of police.
Soon I fear that shall see a NOUS
tache growing
Underneath the classic nose of old
Bill Hart
And upon that sad occasion I will
be past moral suasion-
For the cinema and I are going
to part.

THE PRICE OF RUBBER
WAS BROUGHT DOWN
Statement Issued by Secretary
Hoover of the Department of
Commerce, Under Date of
January 26.

No amount of discussion can
obscure the fact that the spot
price of rubber was $1.O9 per
pound and three months forward
rubber was $1.05 on December
10th when l asked for the
cooperation of the manufacturers
and consumers in a drive against
the exhorbitant price of rubber
by conversation and provision of
independent American supplies.
We have had that cooperation.
The spot price has dropped Al
cents per pound down to IS cents
yesterday, and three months for
ward rubber was about "a cents.
Our imports of rubber for 1925
were 86O,O0O,00O pounds. If we
import the same amount for 1926
and had continued to pay the
price demanded last December
for rubber, our rubber bill for

Al FITTING MEMORIAL
AT FORT SMELLING
A Total Of Nearly $4,000 Of the
100000 for Chapel Has
Been Raised.

| Saint Paul, Minnesota, Febru-
airy 3.-The unknown soldiers
buried at Fort Smelling will be
given fitting memorial when
the proposed chapel at the Fort
| is built. !.
The chapel is to be a memoir
hal to the Fort Smelling men,
many of them Minnesota boys,
who have given their lives for
their country, and plans an
nounced in ST. Paul today will
signal out for special honor a
large group of soldiers who
served in early regiments but
whose names now have been lost.
A memorial to these men will
be placed in the chapel and later
impressive services will be ar
ranged to pay tribute to them.
In the cemetery at Fort Smell
ling, there are 210 graves, whose
stones bear merely the legend,
Unknown Soldier. The names
of the men, what regiments they
were in, what they did for their
country-the details all have
been lost in the mist of the years.
Even the location of the burial
place of some has been lost.
This is true of the men who
died during that first terrible
winter which the soldiers spent
at the Fort in 1819-1820. With
improper food, scurvy broke out,
and forty men, or a third Of the
force, died before the epidemic
ended.
THE fate of the poor victims
of the epidemic was sad, but
most honorable" an early his
torian reports. They passed
away on remote frontier, amid
a wilderness and under circum-
stances of privation and general
distress, and were buried in OBJ
scure and lonely graves whose To-
cation has long been unknown.
But they were American soldiers
and died in the service of their
country, and there can be no
more glorious death. The pos
session of the country demanded
sacrifice and these gallant spir-
it's were the first martyrs to the
cause of the development and
civilization of Minnesota and the
Northwest"
The interior of the chapel will
be arranged to commemorate
many of the historical associa-
tions of the old Fort. Fitting
memorials are being planned for
many of the men and women
who have figured in it's history,
and many of the stirring scenes
in which it has had a part will
be recalled.
Patriotic organizations, civic
associations, and church S
throughout the state are raising
funds for the building. The
Fort has no chapel at present and
the War Department cannot use
money for that purpose. A
citizens committee, headed by
Governor Theodore Christensen,
has undertaken to raise the
money by public subscription and
has conceived the idea of coupling
the chapel with memorial to
the men from the Fort who have
given their lives for their coun-
try.
