Many Englishmen still think that
painted and war Bhooping Indians
are vt roaming the prairie not far
from Chicago. Similarly our people
look at South America as a country
OF revolutions, fever sWamps, and
half breeds. Actually the great
cities OF the southern hemisph err. are
in the fore front OF the world in
their baeuty and convenience. Science,
art and business enterprises are
achieving great triumphs under the
Southern Cross.
Europe's madness has shown that
the American hostility to kings and
titled orders has been well based.
That antagonism to feudal aristocra-
cy has been shared by North and
South America. 1t is a principle OF
similarity that runs through both
continents alike.
The South American republics may
have been turbulent But for the
most part they have lived at peace
with each other. Their "cuIibre' has
never evolved any doctrine of mill.

new respect for their nearly IN
broken International harmony. Poll

From Friday S Daily.

Hon. d. S. Hall of Olivia is nov
on the salary list having been
elected mayor of that village last
week by unanimous consent. Dar is
at present holding down several Of
fees all of which are purely honor
airy except the latest one which
pays Sic per year. Move that he be
fined $40 by the county newspaper
men at the next meeting of the as
sociation. At one time he held down
three offices. l. e., state senator,
director of the STATE agricultural so
ciety and special cOmmissi oner to the
Chippewa Indians and the daily pa
pers assisted by one or WO of our
county papers jumped on him with
both feet The Union at that time
pointed out the fact that he must be
very able man to mold down three
such important offices in such a ca
pabIe manner, adj of which is borne
out by the fact that no matter where
he goes his services as public ser
want are in great demand, especially
when there is no salary attached TO
the various jobs. Mr.. Hail is Ger
tainly one of the grand old men of
the county and state and IL is
pleaure to see him honored, even
though it be in a. smaller way, since
he has retired from active public
life Bird Island (NIinn) Union.

SUNDAY WARhEST DAY

Sunday was the Warrnest day so far
this year. Cooperative weather OBJ
server, Geo. T. Nixon's report shows
that the temperature reached a max
imum of 8O,and the.minimum. for the
day was 80 degrees.
A year ago on April IS, the min
imum was the same but the temper
ature only rose to IL degrees and in
1913 ON this same date the maximum
WIS 67 and the minimum only AZ
degrees, which shows that Sunday
was an exceptionally warm day for
this season of the year.

President Wilson and Ambassador
Wilson of Argentina have been ex-
changing compliments. Mr. Wilson
said at a luncheon in his honor
given by DR.. Naon, that there is a
growing sympathy and understand
ing between the United States and
the other nations of this hemis-
phere. The Argentine diplomat re
sponded in similar terms. Let it be
hoped that these fine phrases do
represent a real sentiment of con-
tinentaI unity.
Apparently the reason for the
courtship of South America has been
in the past that our manufacturers
might sell more farm machinery,ste
and boots and shoes south of the
equator.
This is of course a laudable am
bition. But it is not strange that
our southern neighboFs do not

I Last night at Kakaako hall the N.

fast Kakaako team in an interesting
game Of indoor baseball 26 TO is.
For the first four innings there was
nothing to choose between the two
teams but from the fourth on the Ka-
kaako began to forge to the front and
from then onwere never in danger.
The best individual playing Of the
evening was done by Tin Hoon, the
catcher for the IN. A. c., who played q
great game behind the bat and set the
pace for the rest of his team. He also
was the star sticker for his team but
an unfortunate accident put him out
of the game in the first part of the
eighth when he had a collision with
runner at the plate. All Pung at

hard and timely. @s..@s

.RlckEY LOST CHANCE
TO SIGN STAR PLAYER

Every time Branch Hickey, manager
of the st. Louis Browns, happens to
look at the National league batting
averages, it is said he develops Sc
we're headache. The reason? Be-
cause of the hitting record of Frank
Snyder, who has been batting more
than 800 all season and who on sew
Z eral occasions has led the National
! league. E 4as5 @z2... 81
Hickey saw Snyder first i'm the
bushes when the backstop wa catch
ing for the Flint team of the Michigan
State League. Frank signed with
Flint to play In the outfeld, but soon
was sent behind the bat, after he had
. made good one day hi that position In
pinch. He was catching his twenty.
second contest when Branch c1apped
eyes on him. Ss. 4 .-.ss
I'm give you s25eo for Snyder" said
Hickey to the Flint manager, after
watching Snyder in harness for three
afternoons y@,t - l.:
Make it $4,000 and he's yours" was
the answer. IT,. : 49,. ~
Nothing doing, $500 is my limit"
said Hickey. and when he could not
obtain the player for that sum he
abandoned negotiations and left Flint.
Thus. a paltry $500 kept the always
tottering st. Louis American league
outfit from taking possession of the
man whom McGraw declares Is the
best catcher in baseball today, on
whom the smallest number of bases
has been stolen since the season
opened and who, though practically a
newcomer In the big show, already is
one Of the national pasttme's leading
hitters.
