New Fur Fashion

Spirals have come to be as well
recognized motif in the furrier's
art as chevrons, which dominated fur
garments for so long. One of the
newest adaptations of this mode is
shown In an evening coat Of gold
and silver mesh, trimmed with kolin-
sky. The huge stole collar forms a
spiral, which connects with another
spiral formed by the band at the hem

reason black is always included in

from this somber but indispensable

Costume Dresses

For the more formal occasions,
gowns are being shown that plainly
reflect the renaissance designs and
colorings. These picturesque costumes
are not a good investment for the
woman who may aspire to few eve
ming clothes, but make stunning out
ats for infreQuent use.

hoping that a number of automab-

yoiceless hint that the state expect
ed a contribution from every motor
vehicle owner prior TO Jan. |. Thus

OUR TARIFFS EQUALIzE
OPPORTUNITY

Some persons take the attitude
that if removal of tariffs between
nations in Europe would be good
for all countries concerned, remoy-
al of tariffs between the United
States and foreign countries would
be as beneficial to Our Country.
The case does not seem to be para,
Hell.
We have no tariffs between the
States Of the United States because
we all live and work under similar
conditions. No such uniformity
covering so large territory exists
anywhere else IN the world.
Another factor to consider is the
difference between the American
and European standards of living.
We could not maintain our present
standard of living based upon high
wages and short hours of labor, in
competition with European long
hours and wages from one-half to
one-fourth as high, and even lower
Asiatic standards.
Our tariff rates are not made
with the idea of shutting out for
eign countries, thereby giving our
home industries an even chance
with foreign competitors

Machine Guns
And Cooperation

Southern Minnesota has launched q
crime prevention campaign that will
receive criticism from a few, but
hearty endorsement from the many
There are still persons who minimize
the robbery danger, but most of us
are convinced that the danger is very
prevalent and demands serious at
tention.
For those who are still skeptical as
to the need of better means of COM
batting robbers, we might point out
that in Rochester two policemen were
shot and bank robbed of $4,000 in
exactly six minutes, that in Saint
Paul last Monday a bank messenger
was relieved of $4,000 in the heart
of the business section in about four
minutes, that in Chicago last week a
bank was robbed in three minutes,
that in Mankato thousands of dollars
worth of furs were stolen in less time
than it takes to tell about it, that in
several places in southern Minnesota
even creameries have been robbed.
If you still deny the need of pro-
lection against robbers, please re-
member that Lyon County is included
in the next field we may expect them

way, just as a man was fixing his car
near there. A rifle cracked and that
buck will not be one of the Gull Lake
attractions next year.
1--WE enjoy a venison roast as we'll
as anyone and have probably eaten as
many. Just few years ago, it seems
but yesterday, when it was an I'M
common thing when a plentiful sup
ply of moose meat, caribou or venison
wasn't on hand at our house. Now
We seldom hear of a caribou being
seen in the state and moose are few
and far between. If this indiscrim-
mate hunting of bucks, does and
fawns' goes on, the time is not far
distant when deer, too, will have gone
the way of the moose, the caribou,
the buffalo and elk, as far as this
state is concerned.
'We believe the open seasons
should be further apart, and the game
limited to one buck. This would in
clude the advancing of the season, as
the bucks are usually retiring into the
heavy timber at this season of the
year, while the does are more apt to
roam; while during October and the
early part of November, it is bucks,
which roam while the does retire to
the recesses of the forest, only to be
coaxed out by the love calls of her
favorite buck."-Spring Valley Mer-

OPEN SEASON FOR

SHOWS will fall prey TO the wolves dur

Editor Erickson of The Brainard

thousands of them come through this
city, on the hoods and running boards
of cars, we saw truck loads of them
hauled cityward. We have always
been an enthusiastic hunter, but We
are beginning to ask ourselves: is
it worth while? The deer had not
been molested for two years and were
comparatively tame and consequently
were easy prey. One nice little herd
of them made their home up near
Gull Lake and were often seen by the
summer visitors there who enjoyed
having them around. They harmed
no one. they were used to seeing folks.

robbers talons this year IN the rob
bery at Russell. We have been OF

have operated. Now, our neighborine
cities to the east are equipping their
police force with machine guns, and
whether we like it or not, we are GO
ing to become fertile territory for
the gunman, for this fellow, in spite
of his ready trigger finger, is most
likely to pull his jobs where he will
meet the least resistance. The rob-
Der nowadays carries, nine times out
of ten, machine gun that fires 400
to 600 shots a minutes and is effec-
tive at several hundred yards, while
to combat him we have two or three
police offers armed with pistols that
won't fire more than half a dozen
times without reloading and are eff
fective at only a few hundred feet.
Our police officers are brave men, but
bravery avails nothing against such
odds.
We must fight machine guns with
machine guns. We must have men
who shoot just as straight as the rob-
bers do.
The time is not far away when we
will be able to meet these gunner on
an equal footing in the matter of fire
arms. When we can, we will have a
threat that will keep most robbers out
of this territory.
Our most immediate concern is to
urge the Legislature to give serious
to some of the other recon-
mendations in the associations re-
port. The state constabulary pro-
posal will receive stiff opposition from
two sources, the labor unions and per-
sons who object to the expense of
such an organization. The labor I'M
ions objections could be answered
by a provision that the state police
should not be used to put down
strikes. Two hundred additional pol
ice will cost money, it is true, but

Why Business Has Joined
Hands Nth Agriculture

Those who noted the other day the
news that A. R. Rogers, of Mime
apolis, had been appointed membe,
of the Business Mems Commission or
Agriculture may very well have miss
ed the larger significance of the in
formation. That larger significance
in brief. is that business has joined
hands with agriculture. In other
words, American business has recog-
nized the fact that American agricul-
ture is its natural partner, and is tax
ing off its coat to do everything it
humanity can to get agriculture back
on sound basis. The National In
dustrial Conference board and the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, acting in behalf of the bust
ness interests of the country, have
undertaken jointly to select, organize
and finance the commission entrusted
with this very difficult job. On the
commission beside Mr.. Rogers are
William Cooper Proctor, Paul NJ.
Warburg, Alfred H. Swayne, Robert
w. Bingham, John Stuart, Charles
Nagel, E. N. Brown, ]. G. Lonsdale
and E. NJ. Herr. 1t would obviously
be difficult to find a group of men
anywhere better fitted to represent
American business.
The considerations which have NOV
ed American business to align itself
actively with American agriculture
in an effort of find the soundest and
most certain program of agricultural
rehabilitation are, according to Mag
nus w. Alexander, the president of
the National Industrial Conference
board, the following:
American farmers as a group are
buying about six billion dollars worth
of manufactured goods from Ameri-
can industry each year.
They are paying, in addition, for
about four billion dollars worth of
service rendered by others annually.
They are supplying one-eighth of
the tonnage carried by the railroads.
They are exporting about one-half
of the total value of the exports from
the United States.
They are debtors to other groups to
the enormous sum of over twelve bill
lion dollars.
They, and those depending on them,
constitute nearly one-third of our
population.
And their income has shrunk to the
point where in 1921 it was only about
10 per cent of the national income !
while now it is probably no more than
tx per cent. !
In view of the foregoing facts, can
any business man wonder that bust
ness is at least coming to regard ag
riculture's problem as its own? In
deed, is it not remarkable that bust
ness did not come to this conclusion
long ago ?-Minneapolis Tribune
