was held in jail without bond, pend
ing investigation into the death Of
Clarence Bailey, 17-year-old high

were intoxicated, they fled. He shot
into the air twice in an attempt to
frighten them. While he was pur-
suing them the gun was discharged
accidentally, the bullet killing Bailey.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. o.
Indiana s greatest "bone dry"
agitator, the Rev. r. s. Shu-
maker, superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League of Indiana,

people should be concerned
that he uses a tonic containing

when he abandoned his tw0year
fight against the Indiana SlspreFlae
Court as the result OF 4 liquor case

would fast. Being incorporate in
his method of reducing he became

a sanatorium where the tonic was
prescribed.
Because he, could not get the pre-
scription filled in his own bone dry
State he was obliged to send out OF
the state for his stimulant and has
continued to use ii since that time.
Shumaker denounced Arthur l..

SMALL TOWN TALK

Marion Tally is to quit the grand opera and
go in for farming. She should be able to lead
all other women in chicken or pig calling con-
test. We have our doubts about her showing
them much along more useful lines.
A bill providing the annexation of 'sMeander
Lake" to several villages made its appearance
in the senate journal last week. Which caused
quite a chuckle among those possessing the in
formation as to what meandered lake really
is. The thing goes little deeper than the handy
Typographical error excuse, but not deep
enough to be taken too seriously.
We agree with Arthur Bribane when he SAYS
that while temporary charities to provide milk
for needy children are entirely worthy eventually
children should not have to depend on any charity
for their supply of milk. 1t is matter of econo-
my for the state to provide milk or anything
else that will build mental and physical health
it is so much cheaper than paying the nations
prison and hospital bills.

MINNESOTA AS A MANUFACTURING
STATE

IN this industrial age the question of states
industrial ranking is a matter of the keenest
= interest to every citizen within the state.
The northwest district of the United States de-
partment of commerce has given out some in
teresting figures concerning Minnesota's indus
trial standing. These figures are based on
returns received at the biennial census of manu-
facturers taken last year and therefore do not
do justice to the Minnesota of April, 1929-that
is to say, they considerably understate the case
Here are some of the conclusions:
1. Minnesota annually turns out more than
$1OOO00O,OO0 worth of manufactured products.
2. 1t employs approximately 10000 wage
earners in factories, and pays out approximately
$125,000,000 in wages.
3. 1t ranks as the fifteenth American state
in the value of its manufactured products
A. 1t has 1856 manufacturing establishments
within its borders
The Tribune has often commented on the
close relation and interrelations between aryi-
culture and industry in Minnesota. How these
work out may be inferred from the fact that
the states leading manufacturing activities are
associated with flour and grain mill products,
slaughtering and meat packing, butter, cheese,
and milk In other words very large part of
our manufacturing activities consists of convert
ing agricultural products into foodstuffs. Thus
our state is at once an agricultural state and an
agrico-manufacturirty state.
The value of all the products manufactured
in the United States for the year 1927 is reckon
ed at $62, ,375,sS1. Minnesota, therefore, &C
counting for but sixty-second of the total
output, still has plenty of room for advancement
The Twin Cities alone are responsible for about
half of Mnnesota's total manufacturing output
There is very considerable discrepancy
between Minnesota's being the fifteenth manu-
featuring state and it's accounting for but sixty
second of the countrys total body of manufact-
ured products. When we actually account for a
fifteenth of the country's total manufacturing
output, we shall have our real place in the sun
The showing is good one, and calculated to
stimulate faith in Minnesota, but it is also cal
culated to instill mood of determination ia
improve that showing greatly in the near future

HIGHWAY NUMBER IA

IT HAT Redwood County has not received any
particular benefit from the trunk highway
system of maintaining roads in now quite
evident on State Highway Number H. between
Redwood Falls on the east and the Redwood
County line on the west. The writer travelled
over this road last week and became convinced
that Redwood County, as whole, is being left
out of the highway program. With the exception
of small amount of work east of Redwood Falls,
no other stretch of road in the county has re-
ceived deserving attention since the Trunk High
way program was started in 1921, but are
still living in hopes that Number H. between
Redwood Falls and the county line on the west
will be included in this years construction pro-
gram. Come and see us, Mr.. Kipp.

the interest of time-saving and
