BALL TOURNAMENT
Four Interesting Games Played at
Big Lake in Which St. Michael
Carries OF Honors.
Princeton's Next Game Will Be at
Milaca on August II, and 1t
Will Be Interesting.

A baseball tournament in which the
Princeton, Elk River, ST. Michaels
and Big Lake teams participated was
held on the diamond Of the last named
nine on Saturday and Sunday. The
event was not largely attended on the
opening day but on Sunday a big
throng, coming from every point os
the compass, witnessed the contests.
Saturdays first game was between
Elk River and Big Lake. It was con-
test of no mean proportions in which
each side put forth its utmost efforts
to defeat its opponent, and the score
shows that it was an almost even
match. Big Lake made 9 points and
Elk River 8.
St. Michaels played Princeton on the
same day and defeated our boys by a
score of to 8. Errors in Princeton's
playing was responsible for the teams
! vanquishment.
On Sunday there were two more
contests, the first being between ELI
River and Princeton. This was
game in which Princeton seemed to
have recovered from its streak Of
clumsiness upon the previous day, as
it downed Elk River to the tune of
to 1. 1t was one of the best games
of the tournament.
St. Michaels and Big Lake then
pulled off the final game and it was a
contest we'll worth witnessing. St.
Michaels, however, proved to be the
strongest team and defeated Big Lake
in count of 2 to 1. This placed St
Michaels at the head Of the list II
Everyone from Princeton who at
tended the tournament has a good
word to say of the people of Big Lake,
who treated them in a most hospitable
manner.
Princeton will play Milaca next Sum
day at Milaca, and st. Michaels on
Saturday, August .28.z

was occupied with more important
matters" Senator Warren gave curt
interview to the spokesman, in which
he refused pointblank to see the dele
cation or give it's members a hearing.
Senator Warren. according to the
spokesman, remarked, eff you can't
get along on $50 month, I'm sorry"
and dismissed them with the impatient
exclamation, ''Oh, hell"
The federal board is going ahead
to make the best it can out of a bad
bargain. Confronted with the am
biguity Of the phrase where mainten-
ance and support is above the average
and comparatively high it has deter
mined to grant the $40 increase in
monthly allowance to every vocational
student that it possibly can The law
will be given the most liberal inter-
probation possible and will be stretch
ed to the breaking point
To assist in interpretating the
amendment the board has begun to
make comprehensive survey of the
cost of living in all parts Of the coun-
TRY. It has sent out thousands Of
questionnaires to chambers of com
merce, American legion posts, restaur-
ants and business houses in various
parts of the country to ascertain Nv
ing costs. It has done this as speed
lily as possible, but serious delay has
been inevitable At this writing it
has made rulings on many localities,
but it viii be weeks and possibly
months before all the complexities
and confusion are overcome.
The board has definitely decided up
pm an additional monthly allowance
Of $40 for all men living in places
where the Community rate" of living,
board and room. is above $40 month,
and the full $40 increase to all men in
training where the rate is more than
,S45. Men paying less than $40 for
their board and room will not receive
an increase.

He Makes Everybody Tired.

The Milaca Times, a nonpartisan
organ, is continually hammering away
at the good roads amendment. We
wonder if it doesn't know That at a
meeting at Mankato recently the big
cheese in the league and some of the
lesser lights came to the conclusion
that the amendment was all right if
no bond was necessary and still GRAY
ems keeps croaking. He makes us
tired. Perhaps he hasn't received his
orders from headquarters as to the
policy of the league on this particu-
lar matter from now on-Pine Coun-

many and infinitely more unworthy
on our part than it was on that Of
the Russians"
We are still technically in state Of
war with Germany. Certain war
measures that are hampering industry
and causing unrest throughout the
whole country will be effective until a
formal peace is declared. Then how
about the hundreds of boys who
served overseas, who wish to return
to civil life but who are still being
held because they enlisted for the du-
ration Of the war?
Mr.. Cox advocates federal budget.
In regard to this and his comment on
the work of the present republican
congress, "Not constructive law can
be cited" we quote from the Duluth
News Tribune:
He has the nerve to state this, also,
after he had elaborated on the necessi-
ty Of national budget law as some
thing that is paramount need. This
republican congress passed a budget
law which the three previous demo-
cratic congresses had failed to do and
| President Wilson vetoed it on a pure
technicality.
"Mr. Cox, moreover, must expect the
people to forget lot of other things.
This congress was in session not quite
a year. Senator Knute Nelson says
! that no other congress in the past Is
years has passed as much legislation
of Importance in the same length of
time.
Among these acts was the railroad
bill, most important and technical
measure; placing the army on peace
basis; providing for a strong peace
navy; the oil and water power con
servation act; the coal land leasing
act; old age retirement and pensions
Jaw; merchant marine act; strengthen
| ing the Lever law; the export trace
law and many others as we'll as the
appropriations and the deficiencies
piled up by the democrats.
Many of these measures had been
before the democratic congresses for
six years. Just what does Mr.. Cox
call "a constructive law"
Governor Cox is apparently in ac-
cord with Senator Harding in regard
to domestic affairs such as labor
problems, collective bargaining, wo-
man suffrage, etc.

RetdrH OF Soldiers Bodies.

The Minnesota department of the
American legion has obtained from the
war department detailed advice re-
garding the transportation of soldier
dead from Europe or Asia to the place
Of interment. Financial assistance
by the government and the proper
method to follow in obtaining it also
are touched upon. Hereunder are the
fundamentals:
Expenses of individuals who desire
to act as convoyers for remains of
dead soldiers from Hoboken to desti-
nation will sbe paid by the govern
ment.
All expenses of the shipment of
bodies to the railroad station or
home town designated by the legal
next Of kin will be bcrao by the war
department. Expenses incident to the
actual burial Of the body will be reim-
bursed up to $500 by the bureau of
war risk Insurance, Washington, D. c.,
upon presentation of an itemized state
ment Of expenses or receipted bills.
Requests of individuals to return to
the United States the bodies of their
soldier dead under their personal direc-
ticn cannot be granted.
Requests from the legal next of
kin that bodies remain in established
French cemeteries will be granted
when possible, providing the next of
kin relieves the government from fur
tier care Of the graves.
The graves registration service is
branch Of the cemeterial division of
the quartermaster generals office.
Exact location of grave is communi-
Gated whenever possible to the person
whom the soldier previously registered
as the proper one to be addressed in
case of emergency. Many changes in
grave location have been made, this
work reducing the number of burial
places Of American dead from 2,4OO
to 600.
Regardless of whether their return
has been requested, no bodies will be
permanently left in Germany, Luxem-
bourg OF North Russia.

Farmers Getting Tired of It.

In the columns of the Milaca Times
Of last week we counted the word
"anti-farmer" 20 times. We possibly
missed few but no matter. The
Times appears to be overworking the
anti-farmer racket and the joke of
it is there is no such person or thing
as an anti-farmer. The Times editor
seems to be always laboring under the
impression that anyone who does not
agree with his own peculiar views is
nti-farmer." The farmers them
selves are getting tired of this anti
farmer twaddle.-Clear Lake Times.

The bill, as originally conceived, in

word amendment to the bill This
amendment provided that the increase
should go only to vocational students
residing in congested centers of
population where maintenance and
support is above the average and COM
paratively high"
Without analysis these II words
may seem innocent enough. But they
have opened up a Pandora's box Of
trouble for the wounded soldiers of
the war and for those concerned with
the administration Of the law. They
have placed upon the federal board
for vocational training responsible

seriously hamper its work They have
denied to thousands of disabled veter-
ans a fair increase in the allowance
given them by their government. They
have caused delays of weeks in
payment of these increased allow
ances to the men VINO are granted
them by law. They have stirred up
general uncertainties among the dis
abled men undergoing training. They
have hurled wrench into the whole
vocational training system, with the
result that the heartbreaking dis
tresses which have marked Americas
treatment of her wounded for the last
two years will be continued for many
months to come. And this just as the
agencies concerning themselves with
the care of the wounded were begin
ming to breathe easy in the belief that
most of the difficulties they had been
meeting were past.
The author of the 17-word joker in
the barrow substitute is Senator War
rem of Wyoming, chairman of the
committee of appropriations Of the
United States senate. The amend
ment was included at his instance and
insistence. Not only by hamstring-
ing the barrow bill itself, but also by
his general attitude while the bill was
under consideration, has Senator War
rem shown a peculiar disposition
toward the nations disabled.
Senator Warren was the chief figure
in story of official indifference which
stirred indignation in Washington be-
fore congress adjourned. The story
was recounted by the members of a
committee of rs wounded and manned

office in the capitol to present their
reasons for requesting an increase in
their allowance. Members of this
committee reported that, excusing
