REAL OPPORTUNITY
FOR COUNTY WOMEN
$1,25O Offered for Best Jar of
Canned Food in National Can
ming Contest

Just how good are Redwood coun-
ty women and girls? r
This question suggested itself to-
day from an announcement in Chica-
go of National Canning Contest to
find the best jar of canned fruit, We
getables or meat in the country.
Twelve hundred and fifty dollars
($1,25O) in cold cash awaits the wo-
man or girl in the United States
whose entry is selected as the best
jar of canned food entered in the con-
test.
For years the U. S. department
of agriculture and home demonstra-
ton agents throughout the country
have worked for increased produc-
ton of native canned foods. 1t is to
further this excellent idea and at the
same time to help absorb the threat
enede surplus of farm products in
many sections, that this canning pro-
ject was conceived.
Tive hundred and twenty-five cash
prizes, totalling $5,825, will be dis
bursed to the winners in the contest,
which has three major divisions:
fruit, vegetables and meat. The best
entry in each division will be award
ed $3.50, and one of these will also
receive the thousand dollar sweep
stakes prize, thus bringing the total
cash prize for the best jar of canned
food in the contest to $3.50. Sec
ond prize in each Of the three divi-
sions will be 5000, third prize 500,
and fourth prize, $50. There will
also be five prizes of $25 each, ten
prizes of $40 each and fifty prizes of
SIS each. In addition, thousand dol
lars in cash will be awarded to the
home demonstration agent whose
county sends in the greatest number
of entries, $500 to the agent whose
county has the next largest number,
and 500 to the agent whose county
sends in the third largest number Of
entries. A number of lesser mer-
chandise prizes are also offered.
According to the rules, the contest
is open to every woman and girl in
the United States. There are no re-

About forty of the sixty stop signs

Redwood Falls will have chance to
become acquainted with the new

law will be rigidly enforced concern
ing traffic regulations. The council
talked of securing the services of a

OIL FREIGHT INCREASE
PROTEST. TO BE AIRED
Local Delegates to Appear at
Trunk Line Association Meet
ing in New York.

Vigorous protest against a proposed
increase of approximately 80 per cent
on the freight rates on fuel oil hauled
from Baltimore to washington and
suburbs for distribution here will be
laid before the Trunk Line Association
next Tuesday at hearing on the mat
ter in New York by two delegates Of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation of this city.
The delegates named by the fuel oil
section of the association, Paul Crum-
NETT and Edward ID. Shaw, pointedly
will warn interested railroads, it is an
nounced, that should the increase ulti-
mately be put in force dealers may re-
sort 10 use of large oil tank motor truck
deliveries to Washington from the re-
fineries in the Baltimore district to
avoid increased costs. which, it Is ex-
planned, with little doubt would have
to be passed on to consumers.
The association recently received an
announcement from the Trunk Line AS
ISOLATION stating that hearing would
be held on the proposal to boost freight
rates on fuel oil from the Monumental
City to Washington from 10 to 13 cents
per hundred pounds. The increase, it Is
computed, would amount to about $40
per car load
1t Is pointed out that oil concerns
now are operating two huge oil tank
motor trucks between the two cities, one
carrying 2,500 gallons of feul oil and the
other 5000 gallons
The source Of the proposal for the
increased rates was not revealed In the
announcement of the hearing by the.
Trunk Line Association.

CAREER Of LINCOLN
TRACED BY BOWERS
Developed by Sufferings and
Struggles of Lonely Years,
Says Speaker.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FIcSS.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, February Ia
Claude G. Bowers of New York, key
noter of the last Democratic national
convention. stood today in the Sanga-
mon County courtroom, whose walls
once echoed to the voice Of Abraham
Lincoln, and painted parallel between
the Emancipator and Stephen A. Doug
les. his lifelong political rival.
Had Lincoln and Douglas both died
in the first year of the Civil War, the
historical status of one would not have
differed greatly from that of the other.
The Lincoln Of history was developed,
or brought out, by the sufferings and
struggles of four blood-soaked. tear
drenched years of loneliness and anx-
iety," Bowers said.
Politicians scorned Lincoln to the
end of his life, and the people will love
him to the end Of time.
Two Great Leaders Discussed.
"No two great leaders Of opposing
forces in all history have been more
strangely identified in their careers.
They were cast for opposing roles in
many drama of their day, their lives
touched at many points, and as long as
Lincoln is remembered, Douglas cannot
be forgotten.
by all the dictates of convention all
the advantage in the contest should
have been with Douglas. When he first
looked out upon the world from neat
cottage, In the thoroughly settled town
of Brandon, in Vermont, Lincoln. the
child, in his fourth year, was toddling
about sordid cabin in Kentucky
clearing The father of one was an edu-
Gated and successful physician that of
the other the most tragic of all failures,
an unsuccessful, illiterate ne'er-do-well.
Douglas had the background of success
Lincoln of failure.
Prediction Impossible.
"FIere, to me, is one of the mysteries
Of Lincoln. Nine years before the great
debates, eleven years before the presi-
Dental contest Of 1850. no prescience
could have foreseen the possibility of
the reversal Of the positions of Lincoln
and Douglas.
1.-THE last phase, while Douglas was
dealing with what we now know to
have been phantoms and fighting
shadows, Lincoln, with inspired vision,
was struggling for the eternal verities
on which depend the cause Of humanity
and the ultimate preservation of Ameri-
can democracy"

Ferguson Answers Canadian
Liberal Leader on Con-
tribution Charges.

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO, Ontario February IL
Premier Ferguson was on record today
as opposed to the acceptance of CAM
paign contributions from distillery,
brewery and winery interests.
The premiers position was stated in
reply to question by w. E. N. Sinclair,
Liberal leader, as to the truth of pub
lished reports that winery had been
asked for contribution by the LiberaI-
Conservative Association of Toronto.
Letter Is Admitted.
Mr.. Ferguson admitted such letter
had been sent, but declared the solicita-
which the Ontario Conservative AsSocia-
ton had not been concerned. He pro-
duced the original letter and one he had
sent to the local association in which he
said he was perfectly astounded" at the
request.
The letter sent on January % to the
London Winery, London. Ontario, and
signed by G. E. Calvert, chairman Of tho
finance committee of the Liberal
Conservative Association of Toronto,
said funds were needed to carry on the
work of the association and that SUBJ
stantial contribution would be appre-
ciated.
Mr.. Ferguson said the letter was called
to his attention on February ] and he
Immediately wrote letter to j. r. L.
Starr, treasurer of the Toronto associa-
ton, in which he said in part:
Explains Position.
"There can be nothing wrong about
taking subscriptions for the ordinary
organization work, but surely appeals
should not be made to people or organ
izations who have relations with the
government. or are dependent in any
way upon the government for the con-
tinuation or regulation of their business.
81 think you should lay it down as an
implicit and infiexible rule that no funds
be solicited or accepted from either
distiilery, brewery or winery interests. I
insist the party should not put itself
under obligation to any of those in
terests I think you should take imme-
diate steps to recall these letters and
return any subscriptions that you have
received -.

|. In an address before the Women's
National Republican Club, MIR. Hertz
read letter written by Lincoln July II /,
1848, which he said showed Lincoln in
a lighter vein than that usually asso-
ciated with him.
The letter, addressed to his law part
ner. William Herndon, read:
Dear william:
yours of the 3rd is this moment re-
ceived and hardly need say it gave
unalloyed pleasure. I now almost re-
greet writing the serious, long faced let
ter wrote yesterday. But let the past
as nothing be--go it while you're young |!
write this In the confusion of the
H. r.. and with several other things to
attend to. I will send you about eight
different speeches this evening, and as
to kissing a pretty girl, I know one
very pretty one, but guess she won't
let me kiss her.
Yours forever, "a. LINCOLN"
Mr.. Hertz also related that in WIN
chester, Va, Lincoln STONED at the
town hoteEthe Haggard House--and
at the request Of two daughters OF the
proprietor wrote verses in their auto
graph books which he composed on the
spur OF the moment. They read:

You are young, and / am older:
You are hopeful, I am not.
Enjoy life. ere it grow colder.
