Wages Are Going Up,
Living Going Down,
According To Report

Wages are going up and living costs
down, states monthly review of con-
ditions issued by the Labor Bureau
Inc, an organization engaged in con-
Quoting economic research for labor
unions.
"Wage increases" saws the review
continue at a fairly constant rate
The same number of gains were re-
ported this November as last. The
only significant factor in the scale
changes noted was that, for the first
time, the building crafts did not bulk
large in accretions to pay. Only two
increases were reported for all con-
struction workers throughout the
country. Transportation employees,
on the other hand, were granted more
increases than in any other month
this year. The printing trades, as
usual, report more advances than
other groups.
Average earnings also are on the
increase for the country as whole.
October saw gains ranging from l to
5 per cent, which brought weekly
wages to level from 2 to 8 per cent
in advance of last year at this time.
"Real wages have increased even
more, with an increasing weekly pay
envelope; smaller outlays were need
ed for the necessities of life, although
the biggest item in the workers
budget-food-went up about one per
cent during the month"

MANKATO YOUTH
SHOOTS TWO IN
QUARREL MONDAY
RABBIT HUNT ENDS IN TRAG-
EDY; MANkATO MAY HELP
BOY WHO PLEADS SELF-DE-
FENSE.

A defense fund for Harry Fleming,
17-year-old high school boy who shot
to death Henry Jacobe and his son,
Frank Jacobe, may be raised by a
number of Mankato citizens. The
youth is the son of a widow, Mrs.
Mary Fleming of Mankato.
The Jacobes were shot late Monday
when they ordered Fleming and three
schoolmates off knoll of ground
where they had built campfire. That
this land was not part of the Jacobe
farm as first supposed was indicated
by County Attorney Frank E. Morse
A survey showed, he said, that the
knoll was fenced off from the farm
and that consequently the high school
pupils were not trespassing.
Fleming, in Jail at Mankato, added
nothing to his first statement that
he had fired in self-defense. He is
believed to have become frightened
when the father and son failed to stop
as the youth fired warning shot, but
instead advanced as if to attack him.
The Jacobe farm has been the scene
of two liquor raids. Since then tres
passers have been driven off the farm
at various times by the farmers.
After the shooting, Nick Jacobe,
20 years old, another son, also un-
armed, stopped Fleming and his COM
panions, held them until he COM
mandeered an automobile and brought
them to Mankato.
The shooting brought a tragic end
to holiday squirrel hunt on which
Fleming, Walter Clement, 10 years
old, Margaret Henlein, IS, and Helen
Morris, II, all pupils of Mankato high
school embarked Monday. Fleming,
a sergeant in the Minnesota national
guard, carried an automatic pistol.
The four were resting on knoll OF
ground and had built a fire when the
elder Jacobe and his son came to
warn them off.

MINNESOTA BANKS
GETTING BACK TO
NORMAL STANDING
STATE COMMISSIONER A. ]. VEL
GEL THINKS OUTLOOK is
HOPEFUL; DEFENDS BANK
ERS.

Minnesota banks generally have re-
moved their losses and the banking
situations should soon regain nor
malcy, Says A. J. Veigel, state COM
missioner of banks, in an article in
"The Ninth District Banker" finan-
cial publication.
This in a wide measure, the COM
missioner writes, is due to unselfish
acts on the parts of officers, directors
and stockholders, many of whom sac
rificed their own personal property to
help protect the financial stability OF
their banks.
"While there is still slow paper and
probable losses in some banks" Mr.
Veigel states, "there is a marked
Improvement over conditions year OF
two years ago, and we have every
reason to believe that conditions will
continue to improve and that the
banking situation will soon be back
to normal"
Taking up the defense of bank
ers, the commissioner says that while
criticism in a very few cases is JUS
titled, Sin the large majority of cases
the bankers should receive unstinteo
praise instead of criticism for what
they have done and are doing to
strengthen their banks and improve
the general banking situation.
"Times of general business depres-
sion, such as we have had during the
last few years, come about once in
each generation, and it is almost inn
possible for even the best bankers to
guard against all losses during such
times.
"To start with, Minnesota and the
Northwest generally had too many
banks. Competition was keen ano
many things were done during the
boom times, which were not in ac-
cordance with sound banking princl'
pies, and we have suffered large loss
es as a result.
"But this is past history. Nearly
all bankers have learned lessons
which they will not forget and which
will make better bankers of them ir
the future.
! "The public knows about the very
few dishonest bankers through th'
newspapers, but they do not hear Of
the thousands of honest and conscien
tious bankers, who are giving up ev
erything they possess to save thei1
banks.
"There have been literally hundred:
of real tragedies among such bank

Find Home AbIaze
Upon Return Sunday

Upon returning to their home
from visiting at 1880 o'clock
Sunday night, December 26th,
DIR. and Mrs. Brainerd Finn
found the basement in flames.
The fire department was immedi-
ately called. 1t was found that
the floor in the kitchen was
burning through. The blaze was
soon extinguished by the depart
ment and those who witnessed
the fire. The source of the fire
is unknown but is thought to
have been caused from the fur
mace. Had the family remained
away from home but short time
longer, the blaze would undOubt-
edly have gained headway and
completely ruined the house as
the start it had upon discovery
was evidence to that. The loss is
covered by insurance.
