WAR SCARE IS
A GOOD THING

MINNEAPOLIS, April 22.-Trouble
with Mexico will divert the American
people and will therefore benefit
business. This is the estimate of
Franklin Hobbs of Chicago, business
diagnostician who is in this city.
Mr.. Hobbs looks at conditions from
an unusual angle. He charts every
thing and by localizing any condition
on the chart determines what is its
effect. From a chart Mr.. Hobbs has
discovered that tariff talk is a buga-
boo. The import paid on goods is en-
tirely overshadowed by labors of the
homely hen. Consequently he figures
that the effect of tariff changes is
nothing more than sentimental, be-
cause tariff collections are only 1000
of the business of the country, while
if the egg crop for year, which last
year sold for double the tariff collec-
lions, failed, there would be more than
sentimental trouble.
Looking at the Mexican situation, if
trouble ensued today, from this I'M
usual angle, Mr.. Hobbs said:
"Trouble with Mexico will benefit
business. Our attention has been CEN
tered for several months in legisla-
ton and this will probably cause an
earlier adjournment of congress, the
quicker the better, which will serve
to divert our attention and tend to
make us forget law-making for time.
l do not mean to say congress has done
nothing. It has passed no legislation
that will hurt us and some of it will
benefit us. can show by figures that
the reduced tariff has not reduced
prices and has not hurt business. AS
rule business men do not measure
the relative importance Of everything
:, business"

BOB UNGLAUB
HAS BIG SQUAD

MINNEAPOLIS, April 23.-Nicol-
let park resembled a three-ring cir
Gus when forty-one candidates for the
Fargo oorehead club of the North
ern league reported to Manager Rob-
art Unglaub for the initial practice of
the season. Decked out in uniforms
of all colors and descriptions, the re-
cruits went through their preliminary
PAGES under the watchful eyes of Man.
ager Bob Unglaub. President Mike
Cantillon also was on hand and gave
the Northern league candidates the
once over with the hope that he
might possibly discover a player of
Association caliber in the rough.
A majority of the men are in fairly
good physical condition, having just
arrived from the training camps Of
;he Association and Western league
clubs. All day practice sessions will
be on the cards up to tomorrow, when
Colonel Unglaub will swing the ak
and take the more likely-looking re-
cruits to Fargo-Moorehead to COM
plete the training. The squad will be
cut to twenty-five Wednesday night.
Manager Unglaub is very optimis-
tic over the prospects for the coming
season. Hhe has the best players of
last years club under contract and
these, with the recent additions from
Pongo's club, should make the team a
pennant-contender. Then there are
about twenty candidates picked up
from all parts Of the bush. Most of
these men come highly recommended
and Unglaub hopes to uncover star
or two in their ranks.
Among the players who reported
are: Kilmartin, Wingifeld, Schueler,
Schmirler, Murphy, Brown, Anderson,
Yost, Mclaughlin, Patterson, Van
Dyke, Watkins, Peterson, Ryan, Doyle,
Webb, Kainkelberg, Erickson, Weidl,
Lano Void, Stilson, Lane, Bohls, Wal
ker, Yetter, Bellen, Pugh, Lindquist
Swanson, Clarke, Lovely, Martins;

Nearly 20, 900 in Northwest Will
Revisit Their Native
Land.

DULUTH, Mimi, April 23.-Be-
tween $1,000 and 10000 Norwegian
American residents Of the Northwest,
it is estimated, will leave within the
next three weeks for Norway to parti-
cipate in the centennial celebration
next month, and Of this number, Du-
luth will contribute about 200 men,

left Duluth for points in Norway and

June. On May 6 a party Of fifty men,
women and children will leave Duluth
in a special car for New York, from
which port they will sail on the Olym-
pic on May 9. This last party will be
headed by Fred w. Erickson of 1929
West Third street, who is arranging
for the excursion.
: On June the members of the Nor
mamma Male chorus, consisting of
about forty men, will also leave this
city for Norwegian points, and it is
expected that Duluth's share at the
centennial celebration will fairly rep
resent the Norwegian population of
this city.

ania, the visitors to Norway will also
take in the Baltic exposition at NAL
mo, Sweden. Among those who have
