i PAGE FIGHT WEST SHOWS PROSPERITY: NO DEPRESSION Cigar Distributors Declare Entire Northwest Prosperous HAVE BIG. TRADE, Labor Shortage ir in Places In-| dicates Move Back to Normalcy Many signs of improvement in business as well as farm products are seen by investigators in Minneso- ta and North Dakota according to an editorial in “Tobacco,” a weekly trade review published in New York. Men engaged in the cigar business report that a big business is being done id that the entire northwest appea to have entirely recovered from a depression due to poor crops or after-war depression, Exerpts from the editorial read as follows: Seen In The Northwest Westward the promise of better business commences to materialize. From St. Paul to Seattle’ many signs of improvement are seen. In Minn- esota and the Dakotas, assurances of bigger trade are as good as wheat. Throughout the great Northwest, the harvest tells the story. Persistently, for months, the country hag been told of discour- agement and discontent. Tillers of the soil were declared to be ter- ribly pessimistia. According to reports, gloom beclouded agricul- tural districts. Farmers were de- picted in attitudes of dejection, de- spair and revolt. Politicians, from different view points, saw red canger or blue ruin. Alarmists announced that, since the war, prosperity had departed from the farm. However intended, such ad- Vertisements of trouble in rural regions did cause prices of farm products to go lower. Business of all kinds slowed down and de- creased. Meanwhile, it rained. During the Spring and early Sum- mer, the rainfall was unusual on parts of the wheat belt often af- fected by drouth. The land obtain- ed moisture enough to insure good crops. In many places, this year, the yield is double the average. Not only the grain growers gained benefits. The cattlemen profited because of the weather. Instead of drying up as soon as Summer came, the grass on the hillsides and upland plaing kept growing and remained green. For herds and flocks in the Northwest there ed from the Polar regions of Si- beria to Vladivostok. Ten thousand workmen have been engaged in the operation; ence spring, and the site, a splen- Cid bit of rolling ground on the Moscow river, will be green and colorful with growing grain, grass jand flowers when the fair opens. | Twenty-five thousand peasants j#re to be brought to Moscow each | ‘tive days from the provinces, at the | f&overnment’s expense, to attend | the exposition. What amounts to{ a short course in scientific agricul- ture will be given these visitors. They will be shown also a new “model village,” as contrasted with the old Russian village. In} the old village there will be ikons and other religious symbols in the; houses, In the new, no ikons, but electric lights. For foreign visitors and exhtbi- | tors some of the downtown hotels | are being taken over and remodel- ed. The foreign exhibits will be entirely separate from the Russian, @ special section having been ar- ranged for them. There will be no “streets of Cairo” or other amusement fea- tures for the visitors at the expo- eition, but adjoining them there is already a large amusement park with the quaint Russian name of; “Not Lonesome Gardens.” FARMER LAST TO BE RADICAL Sceretary of Agriculture Wal- lace Discusses Views Boston, Aug. 27.—The farmer is “the last man in the nation to lend himself to what we call radical ad- ministration in political and govern- mental matters,” says Secretary of | Agriculture Henry C. Wallace, in an article publisheg in the Boston Transcript. “But he is suffering from terribly adverse economic conditions. He is under the harrow and he is trying to find some way to get out, It is generally recognized now that the farmer is at the base of our national | life; that we cannot have permanent national prosperity unless there is a | fairly prosperous agriculture, We have had that fact driven home to us during the past two years. Conse- quently the great industrial east has | a very definite, selfish interest in do- | ing what it ean to restore prosper- | ous conditions on the farm.” BARN BURNED EARLY SUNDAY Cause of Blaze in Downtown Section Is Unknown was abundance of feed. Beef and wool were produced in larger quantities at leas expense. Though prices of farm products are not 90 high now as they might be, farm- ers and stockmen, because of in- creased production, will get a lot of money. In the Northwest, prac- tically-everywhere business condi- tions actually are much better than people in the East would infer from previous Teports, In Minneapolis and st. Paul, cigar distributors all are doing Well now. The outlook is good. A big Fall trade is anticipated. Job- bers are getting hurry up orders from country dealers who allowed Stocks to become low. Retailers have begun to buy generously. Business in the Twin Cities is in- creasing. Shipments to Dakota points approach the record mark, Demand for cigars in Clase C is Srowing. The evidence ig in the show windows. Wages are high. If they desire te work, men don’t have to go far tc find employment. In some lo- calities, employers have been did- fee against each other to get la- On the railways and +n the high- Ways, travel is heavy. How many People are taking vacation tours, motoring across the country, if would be hard to say. The won- derlands, the places of scenic grandeur, the spots where Nature is most freakish or magnificent, the National Parks have attracted visitors in record breaking num- bers, this Summer. RUSSIA PLANS FARM FAIR FOR PEASANTS Greatest Step Toward Disem- minating Education Amofig People FINE EXHIBITS Moscow, Aug. 27.—Russia’s most ambitious educational and exposi- tional undertaking since the revo- lution is scheduled to open the letter part of August at Moscow. It will be an exhibition of agricul- ture and machinery, with the par- ticipation of a number of foreign firms, principally German. Some American harvester machinery is also to be shown. All of the buildings for the ex- Position have been newly con- structed, their \@rection constitut- ing the largest building operation in’ Russia since the war.

Only charred walls were left standing. Cause of the fire is unknown, but it is believed a tramp went into the barn to sleep or some other person was inf there. The sliding door had been closed the night before but the fact that it was not burned on the inside showed that it had been open- ed before the fire, the firemen said. A pop-corn machine in the barn and an old mattress were burned. There were no horses in it, Colored People Held. A colored woman giving her name as Bess Wann, a colored man known as Ralph Wilson are held by the po- lice on charges of vagrancy and Charles Moore, colored, was arrested on a charge of being drunk and dis- orderly. The first two named are newcomers to Mandan and Bismarck, and probably will be given suspended Sentences on promise to leave town. PLAN ROUND WORLD ROUTE An Air Line Encircling Globe Seen by England ri London, Aug. 27.—An Imperial air line stretching out to India and the Far East, and eventually encircling the earth, is foreshadowed by the Duke of Sutherland, Under-Secretary for Air in the British government. | This airship scheme, upon which the cabinet is expected to give a deci- sion shortly, is a* far-reaching one, says the Duke, and it may be po: ble soon to fly to India in 72 hours. The new British Home Defense Air Force, the Under-Secretary said, would consist of not fewer than 500 airplanes, The purpose of this force would be to protect Britain against air attack by stronger air forces within striking distance of this coun- try. “This is the only way to insure Peace,” said the Duke. “I don’t wish anyone to think I am accusing any of our great and friendly neighbors of wishing us ill.” The Under-Secretary said great ex- tensions and improvements were now being considered, especially in regard to the amalgamation of the various companies concerned in civil aviation and the employment of large sums of private capital, which he believed was the only way of attaining eventually commercial success without govern- ment assistance.

MARINES 14 Hawaiian Prisoners Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, Aug. 27.— The initiative and courage of two | Privates of the Marine Corps saved the lives recently of 14 Hawaiian prisoners who were trapped in a blazing prison in the village of Croix des Bouquets. Official commendation of the two men in question, Melvin J. B. Griggs of C'ncinnati, Ohio, and Russell M, Anderson of Ellisville, | Mississippi, was forwarded to the Navy Department by Brig. Gen. John H. Russell, the American High Com- mission to Haiti, and by their brig Theodore F. ‘ane. The prison at Croix des Bouquets is constructed of heavy cement walls covered with a thatched roof. A spark from the prison kitchen ignited the roof, and the guards were suc- cessful in liberating the women prisoners. In the endeavor to re- jlease the fourteen men confined in separate quarters the key became jammed in the lock, and efforts to break the lock with a stone by the native guards were unavailing. Griggs and Anderson, riding in the and rushed to the spot. While Hai- tians dashed water against the blaz- the Americans broke through the wall of fire that blocked the prison door, and smashed tie lock with an iron bar. They then entered the prison and dragged the Both men were slightly burned while risking their lives. Stetson F Hats for fall of 1928—$7.00. Men’s Clothes Shop. Alex Rosen & Bro.

So thorough was she in her work that she learneg her codes by heart.
