Compensation Here

Mechanics and machinists of
Redwood and Renville counties
who are not working at their
trades will be listed with the fed
aral government by the Minnesota
Employment service, headed here
by j. w. Lauterbach. 1t is believ-

list of available men weekly and
Ell mechanics now unemployed or
working at other trades are asked
TO contact the employment service
regularly.
Information concerning aircraft
experience will be sought and
those registered will be asked if
they are willing to take training

port just received by the Mime
sofa Employment service office re-
veals.

months period.
Renville county wages for the
same period were 1913, 207.34, the
report says. Employers there paid
S5,225.22 to the compensation di-
vision.
In February the service here
listed 1913 claims for unemploy-
ment compensation in effect. For
ty-five original claims were taken
that month and SO claims for ben
efits in the second year of COM
pensation were handled. One
hundred ninety-tWo persons were

arv.

New Avon Women
Came From Famed
'Sinless Town"

Bonfield, Illinois, "a sinless
town., is the home town of Mrs.
John SteWig and Mrs. Ben SteWig
of Redwood Falls.
A recent newspaper article, CIV
en- wide circulation threw the
spotlight on the community which
has no crime, liquor, Jail or police
men, no recent divorces and no
old maids.
'Mrs. John Stewig and l were
born and reared about nine miles
from the good old fashioned viii
lage," Mrs. Ben Stewig said on
reading the story "We used to GO
with busload of people to Bon
field to attend camp meetings"
She credits the sincere sermons
preached at those Evangelical
comp meetings for the high moral
quality of the town now.
Bonfield has no officers of the
law, no Jail. Doors are never lock-
ed. It's population is 152 persons.
Not a single crime has been
committed there for % years and
no murder since it was settled in
1882. There has been one arrest
for speeding and one case OF in
toXication in its history, but those
were chalked UP against an out
slider who came into the village
on a spree. There has only been
one suicide.
Only one couple has been di-
vorced in the last 35 years. There
are from five to a dozen weddings
year and everyone of marriage
able age is married. The village
has three old bachelors, but there
are no old maids available.
Nobody drinks, nobody CANDLES,
nobody does anything wrong and
everybody goes to church.
There has not been a dance at
Bonfield for three years because
so few people attended the last
one that the clerk Of the town
board, who sponsored it, had to
pay for the orchestra out of his
own pocket.
There is one pool table = but
the young blades play only for soft
drinks.

Gains IL Points Over
Previous Week
Steel Trade Confident
Of Improvement in
Next Two Months
By the Associated Press.

oy LI0 AbsOCldIeQ FfeSb.
NEW YORK, Feb. Iron Age,
steel trade publication, reported TO-
day an increase in ingot production
and asserted: with an easing of
the political tension in Europe, the
steel trade is confident of further
improvement during February and
March"
Last weeks rate of ingot produc-
ton was estimated at 53h per cent,
a gain of IA points over the previ-
GUS week.
Railroad buying said Iron Age,
rs still counted on as one of the
most cheering prospects, though
automotive purchases of steel by
late February are also looked for
ward to as one of the developments
that will assist in pushing steel pro-
duction upward.
Tin plate buyers are cautious be-
cause OF the large carryover of
canned goods, but they cannot delay
much longer in whatever prepara-
tions are to be made for the 1889
canning season. Tin plate produc-
ton is about As per cent of capacity,
with a rising trend indicated for
some time in the near future. u" <
The domestic scrap market has
not responded this week to the
slightly higher steel production rate.
The average price is down 12l5 cents
ton at Pittsburgh and Is cents
ton at Chicago, bringing about re-
duction in the Iron Age composite
price to sl4.875 which is the
lowest since early November"
