WINS
SECOND CONTEST

finish and who helped to make it a
Redwood victory, were Rud, Stensvad
and Oscar Borg, Ben Everett and
Ingolf Stensvad. A glance at the
table below will show that best score
of the evening on the Redwood side.
Dickerson and Wurscher carried off
the laurels for Lucan. Following the
game luncheon was served at the
restaurant.
The session was success in every
way and both sides keenly enjoyed
the evenings entertainment. 1t
would be a splendid thing if this tour
nament could be extended and the
other towns in the county engage in
these friendsly bouts with the paste
boards. Lucan and Redwood now
know each other as good fellows, and
their friendship has ripened to such an
extent that they are now asking each
other for the makings and a match.
The rubber" will be played in the
near future at Lucan. The following
is the official score:

The World Needs Work.

In the judgment of many clear
thinking men the problem of the
world is not political, but to get the
people to work. This cannot be ac-
[complished until Europe gets the raw
materials with which it's industries can
| function. Europe today is dreadfully
handicapped because its money is de-
based and when it buys from a nation
| like America is pays fabulous price.
For example: The British pound sterl-
ing is at about 20 per cent discount.
Ordinarily its exchange value is $4.87
Now it is approximately 1888. The
French franc, ordinarily equivalent to
1913 cents, is worth about 722 cents
in our money. The German mark, or
dinarily worth 1913 cents, is the equi-
valent now of 1.72 cents. The Portu-
gueses escudo, normally worth $1.08,
now equals 10 cents. In some in
stances the exchange is much greater
to the disadvantage of the European.
There can be no rectification of ex-
change until Europeon countries are
able to get down to production. Once
!, they get to production the improve
ment will be pronounced. In many
instances they owe one another. I'M
mediately the process of payment is
begun the present complexity of debt
will be simplified.
One banker gives homely illustra-
ton which fits to some degree. He
says everybody owed everybody else
in boarding house. One day one man
paid another $40 and that started the
liquidation of obligations, so thar
when it was completed the $40 came
back to the first man and everybody
was paid.
The European situation is thou
sand times more complicated than the
boarding house situation, but the ex-
ample has a bearing on the greater
problem
Because of the financial chaos
abroad international trade is ham,
strung. We cannot sell our cotton,
copper, grain or manufactures be-
cause the foreigners have not the
money to pay and they cannot get to
manufacturing because they cannot
get materials.

Farmers Warned to
Fight Chinch Bugs

A Kittson county farmer who says
he knows chinch bugs when he sees
them, because he once farmed in
Iowa where they had them a plenty,
reports to State Entomologist A. G.
Ruggles through his county agent
that he found lots of these bugs while
blowing last fall.
While there has been no authentic
report, says the entomologist, of the
presence of chinch bugs in this state
for the last ten years, he advises
farmers to be on the lookout for the
pests and to take no chances.
Chinch bugs winter in punches of
grass, leaves and field litter of most
any sort. Flowing in the fall helps
to keep them down. Hedges, fences
and the edges Of woodlands should be
cleared of trash and rubbish in the
spring, and, when possible, the torch
should be applied. Bugs killed now
may prevent the production Of arm
les of them when the warm days
come.

a man of breadth, and also assiduous
effort. In their judgment, the consti-
tuency is so varied and the interests of
the six counties of the district also so
varied that they require the very best
a congressman has, and all that he has.
Clague of the Second achieved a
high reputation as a legislator of the
Minnesota lower house and added to
it as Speaker. His career in the SEN
ate was brilliant. AS a debater he
was second to none. The people of his
district expect great things of him,
and those who know Clague know that
he will be heard of promptly at Wash
ington. He has it in him as the Du-
luth congressman has qualities which
will put him on the map at the very
beginning of his service in the ma
tional capital.

SUPREME COURT
So AFFIRMS VERDICT

were sharp conflicts in the testimony
as to many of the foregoing facts but
the issues we're fully submitted to ana
passed upon by the jury, and the facts
found, as appears by the verdict, IN
favor of the contentious OF plaintiff.
As stated in appellants brief there
were several claims Of negligence set
forth in the complaint, all of which
were eliminated at the trial except
three. viz: G) That defendant was
negligent in directing plaintiff to run
and operate mower upon piece OF
ground that was rough and unsafe;
@2) that the mower furnished PLAIN
tiff BY defendant was a defective ma
chine and for that reason unsafe; ~
that the defendant failed to properly
warn the plaintiff of the dangers incl
dent to the undertaking. These three
grounds of negligence were submitted
to the jury. The defendant contends
that there is no evidence in the record
TO substantiate any of such charges
of negligence. With this contention
we are unable to agree.
The ground of the acton is negli-
gence. The burden is upon the plain
Tiff to prove that the negligence of the
defendent was the proximate cause of
his injury. The principal question is,
whether the evidence is sufficient to
support the verdict. The evidence
shows that the plaintiff was under Ia
years of age at the time of the injury.
The duty of an employer il. engaging
and placing a minor at dangerous
employment is largely measured by the
capacity of the minor to comprehend
and avoid the dangers of such employ
ment. The questions of the aSsump-
tion of risks and Of cuntributory neg
ligence hinges upon The question of
the capacity of the minor for the par
--ticular work in which he was engaged.
The rule in relation to assumption of
risks by minor employees is that a
minor who enters the employ of an
other assumes the risks of-all such ap-
parent dangers as he is capable of
comprehending and avoiding. In de-
termining the capacity of minor to
perform the work and avoid the dam
ger of a particular employment, the
character of the work, the circumstan-
ces under which it is to be performed,
and the previous experience of the
minor should be considered. The ques-
tiOn of cOntributory negligence and
assumption Of risk were. under. the
testimony, for the jury to determine.
The evidence tends to show that the
plaintiff had never operated this NOW
ing machine before, and that he was
z1nacquainted with the field; that the
foot lift on the machine had been so
altered and changed that it did not

that as result thereof it was neces-
sary for the plaintiff, in order to be
in position to operate the bar quick
" with his foot, to sit forward on the
edge Of the seat, where he might be
more easily thrown off by sudden
Jerk; that the horses did not drive

MINI. Strong
in Congress
DULUTH TRIBUNE HAS PRAISE
FOR NEW CONGRESSMAN IN
CLUDING "CLAGUE OF 2ND."

When the extraordinary session of
the 9th Congress convenes April II
Minnesota will be probably as strong
position in Senate and House as it
has occupied in 80 years. Nelson, as
the senator whose service is exceeded
only by Lodge and Warren, is in a po-
sition to exert the utmost influence not
only upon legislation, but in a politi-
cal way if he elects to do so. Kellogg,
ranking as one of the brilliants of
the lawyers of the Senate begins the
last two years Of his term under the
most favorable auspices. He is on
excellent terms with President Hard
ing. Minnesota in the Senate is a
power, and the Administration will be
happy to recognize it's weight.
In the House, Anderson of the
First, Davis, of the Third, Volstead
of the Seventh, Stevenson Of the
Ninth, are the veterans. Volstead
heads judiciary and STEVENSON post
offices. What could be greater in
prestige than those two chairman
ships?
Walter Hughes Newton of the
Minneapolis district and Oscar-Keller
of the st. Paul district occupy COM
mittee positions of strategic value;
likewise Schall of the Tenth. Knut-
son of the Sixth has occupied prom
inent place from the very beginning
Of his congressional career. He devel-
oped an extraordinary capacity for
making friends at Washington.
Oscar J. Larson of the Eighth and
Frank Clague of the Second are the
two new members. They are lawyers
Of more than purely local repute, and
as party leaders they rank with the
best known in the state. Congressman
Larson has a wonderful opportunity
before him. No one realizes this bet
ter than he. Congressman Of other
Minnesota districts have for a long
time admitted that to represent the
Eighth district Of their state required

with Dogs and ridges, and in places
wet, with cornstalks thereon, so that
the machine required much manipulat-
ing in order to proceed properly with
the work. All these were matters per-
tinent to the issues. 1t appears from
the defendants own testimony, that
the only warning given the boy with
reference to operating the machine
was that he told him, eff anything
got into the sickle to be careful. It
didn't take much to cut a fellows
finger.
The verdict, in our opinion, is am
ply sustained by the proofs, and is
not so large as to warrant this court
in disturbing it. We find no error in
the rulings upon the admissibility of
evidence.

meeting Of independent operators at
Okmulgee recently, advised producers
IT light gravity crudes to be cautious
about drilling until at least the first
OF March when the demand for paso.
line producing crude will undoubtedly
be stronger. The market will grow
no stronger during the next 80 days
he said. and is likely to grow weaker
unless there should be a change in the
Mexia situation.
With regard to conditions I'm the
Mu6Oontinent field" he stated. I'VE
nfU~, look at the facts squarsly and
without being biased by an optimistic
desire to get into the game and do
a lot of drilling. The great Mexia field
IS producing q lot Of Gil and win no
doubt prevent any immediate increase
in the price of crude | do not think
there will be any recision in the price
Of crude due 10 the situation at Mexia,
however, there is certainly a posi-.
bifty and it has already produced a
cut in the price Of crude H. the Gull
Coast"
Referring to the Mexican situation
as regards production Mr.. Gray ex.
pressed the opinion that although the
situation was somewhat relieved by a
slump in Mexican production during
August and September. nevertheless
the production is being rapidly aug
mented and wild eating Is under way
now that the rainy season is over.
The Mexican situation, he said, al.
though ii furnished some relief. the
RELIEF was only temporary and the
cVlls OF Mexican importation are liable
10 happen at any time again.
Dr. Gray spoke Of the collapse suf.
fered by the members OF the petrol-
cum fraternity due 10 the importa-
ton OF crude from Mexico and which
caused independent operators. IN this

turn their markets over to Mexico
until its flood of oil could BIZ consum.

OF such a collapse as this Industry

We want to put our idle rigs back

thousands OF men throughout the on
