LARGE CROWD At
PATRIOTIC MEETING
People From All Parts of Pine
County Met at Hinckley to
Show loyalty.

About 400 people from all
parts of Pine County gathered
at Patrick's Hall in Hinckley
last Friday evening in response
to call by H. w. Harte of Pine
City, who has been appointed
county director of the Public
Safety Commission by Governor
Burnquist.
The meeting opened with
the Stars Spangled Banner by
Brook Park Band. which by the
way is a most excellent musical
organization, and one which
Brook Park and all of Pine Coun-
ty might justly feel proud Of.
Great credit is due Director
Hughes for his ardent work, and
the fact that he has whipped the
boys into such an excellent
musical organization in less than
three years. The patriotic mu-
sic which was rendered gave
good color to the meeting and
filled the hearts of the listeners
with valor.
Mr.. Harte then gave a short
talk in regard to county organi-
zation, and brought out the fact
that those who can not go to
war can render many patriotic
duties right at home, such as
tilling the soil to the utmost,
buying Liberty Loan Bonds and
in other ways protecting the i'm
terests of our country. Mr..
Harte also said as you all know
that Minnesota is on top on the
map "and let us keep it on top
in patriotism"
Mr.. Bede of Pine City, then
gave the principal speech of the
evening. Time and space will
not permit us to go into detail,
but the principal thing which he
brought out was the fact that
we are not fighting the German
people but the German govern
ment, and that government has
to get off it's high horse be-
fore democracy will rule the
world. Mr.. Bede also inter-
mingled with little humor--
for which he is famous much to
the delight of the audience.
A county organization was
perfected with the following Of
ficers: H. w. Harte, Pine City,
chairman: Geo. Empey, Hinck-
ley, secretary; A. S. Dean, SAND

NEW YORK. Jan. ;. - President
David Fultz of the Baseball Players

not seen a copy of the 1917 contract
recently adopted by the major league,
the reported change In the clause re-
lating to the payment to players in

tated was highly satisfactory to both
officers and members OF the frater-
nifty.
'rhc dismissal of the requests that
referred to conditions under the juris-
diction of the national association was
broadly a scmilegal technicality."
added Fultz. 1T will he followed by
an appeal to the national commission
on the part of the fraternity from the
resolutions of the national association,
which will have the effect of bringing
the entire matter before the commis-
sion ggain in the form of an appeal
outlined IN the statement issued by
