Fall Festival
Dates Set At
Sept. 1920
Will Select Competent Men
To Judge Entries
This Year
PLAN WHIST TOURNEY
Offer Reward of $25 For Ar
rest and Conviction of
Deer POachers

At a special meeting Of the Com
munity Club last week Thursday
evening business men Of the city
decided to again sponsor the Har-
vest Festival. The dates for this
event were set at Thursday and
Friday, September 10 and 20.
Competent judges will be selected
to Judge the entries at the festi-
val this year, and possibly guess
ing contests will again be conduct
ed as in the past. Complete details
as to exhibits, prizes and enter
tainment will be published in next
weeks Herald.
1t was also decided to continue
Community night until the time
when heavy SHOWS make it impos-
sitle to travel, if such be the case
this year. Merchants will also be
asked to either place the exhibits
of farm or home produce on the
street in front of their business or
in the show windows.
DR.. J. F. Dubois asked the Com
munity Club to provide fund
whereby $25 reward can be offered
to anyone for the information lead
ing to the arrest and conviction Of
deer poachers in this community.
Several deer have already been
shot this year, and the club voted
to offer the sum Of $25 as mention
ed above to stop this illegal shoot
ing.
Fred Mossman stated that the
state Of Minnesota has a standing
reward Of $25 offered for informa-
ton leading to the arrest and con-
viction Of those who shoot either
deer or beaver illegally. There IS
also a state reward Of $40 for shoo.
ing ducks out Of season.
The club also voted to send a
delegation to st. Paul to ask for
the appointment Of another game
warden in this community. This
warden is to be appointed to care
for the large territory with Mr..
yorpbrock, who now cares for this
work alone. Mr.. Vornbrock Is an
excellent game warden but he has
too large territory for any one
man to care for properly.

Locals Will Meet Melrose In First
Grid Clash-John Egan,
Captain

with wet and cold weather ham,
pering football practice during this
first week the boys had to keep
stepping lively to keep warm and
to get in a good workout. Monday
afternoon the local high school
squad romped out onto the field
with an aggregation Of about
twenty-five fellows under the dir
ection Of Coach Gene Harvey. The
boys this year are running small
in stature but lot of fight can do
wonders even in q small man. The
squad will be led by Captain John
Egan, last year vet, who will be
backed up by Bellinger, Graham,
and Keldahl. They will bear the
brunt of the opposition until the
new Corners get into shape. After
two weeks Of grilling under Coach
Harvey the new lads should know
the ropes enough to assume some
responsibility.
With less than two weeks for
practice before the first game the
boys are working earnestly, for
we play none other than Melrose
on theopening encounter a week
from tomorrow, Friday. Melrose
will meet the locals twice this
year, once on each of the teams
home grids. This has been arrang-
ed to satisfy the fans thirst for
real Melrose-Sauk Centre battles.

Fire Department Called To Han
auer Meat Market Early
Monday Morning

Last Friday afternoon, shortly
after one o'clock, the fire depart
ment was called to the Homer
Hamilton home, where a barn at
the rear of the property was in
flames. The barn, which is located
on the property Of the Michels es-
tate, on Birch Street, was practi-
cally destroyed. The origin Of the
wire Is unknown.
The local Fire Department was
called out at about 6:45 on Monday
morning when the ice machine in
the Hanauer Meat Market became
over heated. No serious damage as
a result of the flames was en-
countered, but the motor of the
machine was burned out, and the
wood on the side of the refrigera-
tor was charred. Considerable dis
coloring of the interior resulted
from the smoke. The fire was ex-
tinguished in a few minutes. The
fire originated when belt came
Off the motor pulley and the flames
resulted from friction.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December THE pc
troleum industry's economic position
mas been strengthened, rather than
weakened, by the wasteful overpro-
duction of crude oil and the duplica-
ton of refining and marketing fscili-
ties, according to new survey Of the
industry, issued by Poor's Publishing
Co. Vast reserves of oil that were
not known to exist 10 years ago are
now proved. This fortifies the indus
try's investment in refining, trans
porting and marketing facilities which
are dependent on the continued flow
of raw materials.
"The cheapness and plentitude Of
supplies" continues the survey, have
discouraged efforts to develop substi-
tutes, which are the bane Of most
every big industry's existence, no
matter how well intrenched its eco
nomic position may have appeared.

underlying factors can hardly be
overemphasized.
Demand factors in the petroleum
industry are distinctly favorable. Do
mestic consumption of the money
-gasoline-declined less than
any other major commodity during
the depression. In fact, during the
first two years of the depression gas
oline consumption increased, reaching
the peak of 1921 ,000, 900 gallons in
1881. In 1882 domestic use declined
about per cent and in 1888 about
o.2 per cent. The year 1894 witnessed
an per cent gain, to establish the
highest consumption on record. Gas
oline consumption has continued to
increase at a phenomenal rate in
1885.
"Oil company earnings for 1885 will
make an excellent showing, in some
cases far exceeding estimates made
only few months ago. Increased
earnings are attributable to larger
volume which is being handled at
little, if any, increase in operating
expenses and with an actual decrease
in fixed interest charges, accomplished
by q substantial reduction in this in
dustry's funded debt"

SHARP RISE SEEN
IN CANDY SALES
Confectioners Handle Larg.
est Volume of Orders in
Several Years.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. December Candy
sales to appease the American sweet
tooth are giving confectioners their
best Christmas business in years, ac-
cording to an authoritative source
today.
Purchase Of Christmas candy, as
indicated by reports to the National
Confectioners' Association, are the
heaviest in number Of years and are
meeting or, in some cases, exceeding
top figures of boom times. However,
profits will by no means equal those
of 1929, the association said.
Each United States citizen was
credited with eating III pounds Of
candy last year. With the holiday
trade going far in determining the
volume of the Nations candy absorp-
ton, this years per capita figure is
expected to exceed by a good margin
last years total, the association said.
The all-time per capita high, l4.3
pounds, was established in 1929.
Boxes of assorted chocolates in one,
two, three and five pound sizes have
met with favor among Christmas
candy shoppers, the association said.
and it appears the seasons volume
on boxed candy might exceed that of
any year since 1929.
Manufacturers of mixed bulk candy
in barrels and pals, popular in rural
communities for quantity buying, espe-
cially by church organizations, re-
ported unusually heavy sales this year.
Candy sales every month in 1885
except January and March have been
above 1884 figures for the correspond
ing months.

Car Radio Sales
Top Million Mark
For First Time

NEW YORK, December 7.-Sales Of
automobile radios have passed the
million mark for the first time and
viii probably reach total of 1.100, 900
for the year, according to an estimate
to be published in the foTSfC oming
December issue of Radio Retailing.
This cmpares with a total Of 7e0. 900
sets sold last year. According to the
same authority the total retail value
of auto radio sets sold this year will
exceed $53, 900, 900, while the total
retail billings for auto radios in 1884.
including tubes, was $32 500, 900, in
dicating gain of Ga per cent in retail
billing this year.
The total number of radio-equipped
automobiles in the United States is
placed at 100000 by the same au-
thority, while the average price per
set is placed at $4850, each set aver
aging SD tubes. These figures in
clude many radio installations in
trucks and buses as well as in private

Foreign Demand for Cotton
Boosts u. S. Export Figures

339, compared with SOS, ,1so,726 in Oc-
tober last year, thus regaining some
of the ground lost In trade with
Europe earlier in the year before cot
ton sales picked up.
At the same time, with Japan and
China buying less of the American
growths, October exports to Asia
dropped to $2s,544,e72, compared with
$43, ,267, ,227 in the 1884 month.
Whether war threats in Europe
helped to quicken the demand for
cotton from that sector is subject
of conjecture here.
Farm experts attribute the in
creased movement chiefly to demand
held over from the previous season,
when Europe drew upon reserves of
American cotton or shifted to other
growths while the 12-cent loan was
in effect under the A. A. A. control
program. The lowering of the loan
peg" to 10 cents for the current
season was followed by lively revival
Of expert demand.

Cotton, the United States leading
export item, again is leaving deep
trail in its Autumn foreign trade
figures.
The subject Of much political con-
troversy the last year, the staple has
been moving to Europe in relatively
large volume, as If bent on making
up for the export slump last season.
A gain of nearly TOO, 900 bales in
shipments this season is accounted
for almost entirely by larger takings
by Great Britain and the European
continent. Exports to England have
been running more than double the
movement last Autumn. returning 1t
to first place among foreign markets
for American cotton. Japan had the
lead last season.
The resumption Of cotton sales to
