White Spoke
At tVQrSitu
''Y" Meetinql

Az address on the place of service
in the life of the college student was
given at the weekly meeting Of the
state university Y. M. C. A. SGnday
evening by J.. Noble White, scout ex-
ecutive Of Grand Forks.
Mr.. White took for the theme of
his talk the fact that the student is
in the habit Of picking his own life
work without feeling for the need of
and the demand made by God. 1T
is Gods plan to choose, he said,
and mans place to ascertain and
obey
! A mans practical measure is the
measurement of his superiority above
the common reach of his fellows in
nobier being and doing. The peril
in.the young, mans life is the substi-
tuition of self and selfish wants in the
place of Christ and his work. The
student is responsible for the prep
aration he makes for his life's work
and the element Of service, not self
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, should be his on
Germ.
Mr.. White is himself preparing for
service in the foreign mission field,
particularly Africa, where he plans to
specialize in boys work Is he is now
doing in this country. He expects to
leave for his work there within the
next two years.
Special music was given at the
meeting in the nature Of a flute solo
by Jacob Evanson. A large number
of students attended.

81. LAWRENCE
CANAL TO BE
RECOMMENDED
Congress and Canadian Par.
lament to Be Asked to
Build Waterway.

They international joint commission
to investigate the proposed st. Law
rence-etreae Lakes Tidewater project
has definitely decided to recommend
to congress the construction Of the st.
Lawrence river ship canal by the
Unite 4 States and the dominion of
Canada, according to Information re-
ceived here. This Information will
be received with particular interest
in this city because the Grand Forks
Commercial club took the initiative
in North Dakota in regard to the cam
paign for the approval of such a prof.
Get. The joint commission, it will be
remembered, visited Grand Forks
some time ago to take evidence sub
mitted by the North Dakota and
northwestern Minnesota interests.
Recommendations to the effect that
the canal should be built will be pre-
Sented to the American congress
when it convenes in regular session on
December Z. They also will be pre-
scented to the Canadian parliament at
Ottawa.
The report Of the international
joint commission follows closely up
on the favorable report of the engi-
neers assigned to the task Of max
ing a survey.
The news that the commission would
make such a report at once is the
most heartening news hat has come
to the hackers Of the Great Lakes
Ocean waterways project since it's in
ception. When the report is made to
congress it is certain to precipitate
one of the greatest fights of the win
ter. The forces from New York state
opposed to the construction of the st.
Lawrence project are already lining
up for the fight. They will make the
plea that economy demands postpone
ment of such large projects.
The so-called "Agrarian Bloc
made up largely OF members of con
gress from the middle west, is strong
ly in favor of the St. Lawrence water
ways. This bloc" both in senate
n house. has already made it's in
fluence felt. The leaders are prepar-
ed to fight for the Lakes to the Sea-
project.
The report which the international
joint commission will make to con-
gress is now being put into shape, &C
cording to information received here.
Army engineers estimated that the
work will cost in excess of 100000

CARD
FOR DEC. 9
ANNOUNCED.
Very Fortunate Selection Of
Fighters; % Rounds Of
Real Milling Assured.

THE CARD.
Main Go.
Ruasie Leroy, Fargo, vs..
Georgia Bower, st. PauI. Weight
1873 pounds; 10 pounds.
Semi Windup.
Jack Baily, Fargo, vs.. Al
1853 pounds; 10 rounds. n,
Curtain Raiser.
Arvold (Rcd) Iaso, Grand
Forks, VS.. Frankie Pillar, St. !.
Paul. Weight $50 pounds; s
rounds.
Fistic fans about the city have been.
curious to learn who will make up the
boxing card which was announced to
be held in the city auditorium De-
9. After negotiation with
several Of the star performers of the
northwest, Promoter Alvin, Purcell to-
day announced that he had receivede
signed contracts from his men and
arrangements completed for one OF
the best cards ever staged in the city.
His selection was very fortunate and
indications are that the followers of
this sport will be given % rounds Of
rel milling.
Russie Leroy, meeting George
Bower in the main 20, is a popular
fighter among Grand Forks fans. He
has appeared here on several occasions
and demonstrated that he can push
the feathers as smoothly and %viciously
as the best of them. AT his previous
fights his speed and accuracy has
been splendid and the only thing that
saved his opponents from biting the
dust for a count Of ten was that his
very lightness Of footwork prevented
him from getting sufficient anchorage
fora telling blow. It will be interest
ing to note if: this weakness has been
overcome in his fight with Bowers.
In Fargo Saturday night Russie out
pointed Len Schwabel of St. Paul.
Bowers, who will trade punches
with Leroy, is one of the whirlwind
lightweights of ST. Paul. He also got
a shade on Schwabel recently and this
would indicate that these two men are
evenly matched. If he will hold his
W with the Fargo lad, the fans are
assured of a real bearcat fight. They
are booked at 1873.
In the semi-windup Jack Baily of
Fargo will meet AL Lawrence of the
Rose Room gymnasium Of St. Paul.
Baily is touted as one of the Corners
Of Fargo and has made a remarkable
showing to date. His opponent Is of
main-go caliber but is little known to
Grand Forks fans. He comes here
highly recommended and ought to put
up a good exhibition. These men ex-
pect to weigh in at 1853 pounds.
In the curtain eraser q local boy
will appear-"Red" Iago. In a pre-
vious fight he put Argall to sleep. He
showed lots of aggression and as
simulated plenty Of punishment to
show that he is a game youngster
ready to mix at the tan of the gong.
He will tangle with frankie Pillar Of
the Rose Room.
AS an added attraction, Tommy
Gibbons. the logical contender for the
heavyweight crown, now held by
Jack Dempsey, will act as referee.

General Magin, who is popularity
supposed to be here on asecret

has arrived at Valparaiso, and will
later spend several days in Santiago
as the guest of the Chilean govern
ment.
Lavish entertainments are planned
for him, including special horse rae
ing, a presidential banquet, dances

Ostensibly his visit is merely one
of courtesy and friendship, ana is

Northern Virginia
Counties Suffer
Severe Drought

LuRAY, Va, Sept. 2.--Page
County is suffering from the most
destructive drought ever known Al
this season of the year. Most of
the counties Of Northern virginia
are also in the grip Of the unpre-
cedented dry weather. In this
county alone It has been the cause
of the loss of thousands of dollars
this summer. for 1t has meant not
more than 40 per cent OF corn crop,
ABOUT SO per cent of a hay crop,
while the potato crop will not reach
more than 80 per cent Of an aver
age yield.
The same condition Is existing In
many of the other towns of Rock
ingham. Shenandoah, Frederick
Warren and Clarke counties. Alto
gether the situation has become
alarming. Farmers have been
forced to sell at big losses many OF
their cattle. horses. hogs and sheep

ginia. and that is complete abolition
of the mine guard and Baldwin,
Felts system now in general use
throughout the non-union coal min
ing fields Of this State" said MUIR
ray.
despite any statement that might
be made to the contrary by the gov
ernor, evidences of he brutality of
the mine guards and Baldwin -Felts
agencies can be found in the nom
union territories of West Virginia.
My personal Judgment Is that the
presence of Federal troops in the
disturbed sections of the State will
result In Immediate quiet being re-
stored.
The men engaged In the present
conflict against the governors mis-
use OF power welcome with open
arms the coming OF Federal troops.
They believe their presence in
this field will at least assure them
their wives and families protection
from assassination at the hands Of
the armed band of desperadoes."
Murray said the battle of August
"a, in which two miners were killed,
WAS a breach of faith on the part of
the State forces, and that 1t had
resulted in the re-mobilization OF
the miners.
He asserted that the army Is not
composed wholly or union men. "The
general impression that has been
created by the governor is that the
movement of this armed band OF
men Is confined to members of the
United Mine Workers of America" /"
he said.
Nothing could be further from
the truth. AS a matter of fact,
from my own observation Of the
situation. l discovered that the men
who are on the firing line. lighting
for the abolition of the guard and
Baldwin-Felts system. consist OF
miners, railroad men, merchants.
doctors, ministers of the Gospel. and
almost every element of the citizen
ship of those communities and
throughout the State Is represented
in the forces that are fighting for
the establishment of true law and
order In the STATE" concludes Muir

Says He Found Clergymen
Fighting on Side of Miners

CHARLESTON, W. Va. Sept. a.
Phillip Murray, international vice
president of the United Mine Work
ers OF America, who came here from
Indianapolis. believes that trouble
will exist in West Virginia so long
as the mine guard system is re-
tanned.
After making a survey of the en-
tire situation In the disturbed sec
tion' 1 am forced to conclude that
there is but one solution to the
whole question as It affects the
