NEW YORK, October 5.-Paralleling
the smaller-than-usual seasonal re-

past Summer has been exceptionally
heavy. The outlook is for a continu-

high level for the balance of the year.
according to the Standard Statistics Co.
Summer weather at the right time
has served to clear retailers shelves
of seasonable goods, making way for

NEW YORK, November "A lime
colored sun beamed on the flnancia
district today. Streets were lined with
expensive foreign cars, while the lane.
between them were filled with heavil,
laden trucks and taxicabs. The side.
walks were jammed with messenger
boys, runners and visitors.
Neither the sun or the crowds, how.
ever, interested the $4,000 clerks toiline
under mountains of clerical work piled
I'D from the heavy stock trading this
week. To these clerks and to more
than 1,200 brokers the sun merely
marked the beginning of another ses-

The rotund mustached doorman at
the New York Stock Exchange was busy
turning away visitors, who wanted a
gallery view of the floor, while the po-
licemAn alongside of him kept a sharp
lookout for cranks, fanatics, gangsters
and other possible troublemakerS.
Many Workers on Floor.
The rostrum, from which William B.

that sets trading in motion, was vacant

The Illuminated ticker tape was dark,
ana the big annunciator board, whose
metallic flaps call brokers from the

Tourist Trade Being Sought
by East Says Hotaling
Maine and Other New England
States are Advertising Heavily
to Sell Selves as Fairgrounds

Minnesota is encountering stiff
competition from the east for her
summer tourist business according
to H. G. Hotaling, secretary of the
Ten Thousand Lakes Greater Min
nesota Association.
In the New England region, es-
pecially, tourist promotion work
has been greatly increased in re-
cent months, and citizens there
have discovered that it pays big
dividends.
This week Mr. Hotaling received
eastern newspaper clippings con-
corning activities of Maine from
Carlos Avery, formerly Minnesota
game and fish commissioner and
now president of the American
Game Protective and Propagation
Association. The clippings show
the results of survey made by
the Maine Publicity Bureau in con-
nection with the tourist business
for 1928 when it was estimated
that 1,250,000 tourists visited that
state and spent $114,0OO,OOO there.
Those in charge of tourist work
in the state of Maine estimate
that vacation expenditures of the
average tourist amounts to S91. 10.
Estimates of the Ten Thousand
Lakes-Greater Minnesota Associa-
ton for the year of 1928 were that
the average tourist spent $58O4.
According to Mr.. Hotaling, the es-
Inmates of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota Association are
exceptionally conservative. Figur-
ed on the same basis as which the
Maine Tourist Bureau has made it's
estimates the tourist income for
Minnesota for 1928 would have
been Sal, 74S,320 instead of $780,
81, $50.

NIT a report at the next regular

The Sank Centre Band asked

ceeded on this basis.

Last Mans Club to Meet
In St. Paul, Sunday July II
Only Three Civil War Veterans
Survive to Attend Annual
Gathering of Group.

st. Paul, July 16. - Minnesota's
famous Last Mans club of the
First Minnesota Volunteers will
meet here Sunday, July p, with
only three aged veterans surviv-
ing of the group of 314 Civil War
veterans who organized the club
at a company reunion in Stillwat-
er 43 years ago.
A bottle of wine which was pro-
cured for that first meeting and
which it was decided should be OBJ
ened and used as a toast to dead
comrades by the last surviving
members of the club will occupy
the center of the table when the
three survivors sit down to dinner.
This meeting will be at the home
of Mrs. William Griff of st. Paul,
the daughter of John F. Golf, sc
years old, secretary of the organi-
zation. Peter o. Hall, 81 years old,
of Atwater, and Charles Lock-
wood, 81 years old, of Chamber
lain, S. D., the other survivors,
both plan to follow their custom
of years and attend the dinner.
Two years ago the trio, fearing
that all of them might die during
the year leaving the bottle unop-
ened, broke its SEAL, slipped toast
and decided to disband. Last year,
however, at the traditional meet
ing time, July 81, the anniversary
of the battle of Bull Run, the three
drew together again for the old
reunion.
This year it is Mrs. Griff's plan
to be hostess not only to the Last
Mans club but as well to members
of the First Minnesota which has
held reunions on the same date.
In all there are 81 men who sur
vive the 1923 who made up the
First Minnesota, the youngest one,
IS years old. Of these, however, it
is estimated that IA will be unable
to attend because of ailments leav-
ing only the three members of the
club and four others to join again
in the reunion.

MANUFACTURING FELLOWS

The reasoning of Federal Judge Louis Fitzhenry of Peoria, H., is not to be Set aside as so much judicial l technicality. A federal law dated 179G, he declared, makes a felon Of any person who knows Of q felony and fails to report it 10 the authori- ties The Jones five and ten prohi- bition law makes a felon Of any per son selling, transporting or possess ing liquor. Hence anyone who is aware of anybody breaking the Jones law and does not report it to the authorities, is q felon according to the law of 1790. Nothing is simpler.
 The judicial interpretation of the l7oo law and the five and ten law may make felons of most of us, but what difference does that make to federal court? The net effect will be that now, even more so than in the past there will Dc more felons out of pr'"on than in them.
 It Is gratifying today to learn that Washington prohibition officials do not sympathizc with federal judges who dig rp ancient laws and try to apply them 10 present conditions.
