ENGLAND CUTTING HER
AIR FORCE TO MINIMUM
Economy Program Has Forced
England to Rest on Former
Aircraft Laurels
(By United Press)

London, June 13-Great Britian's
air fleet, a few months after the
war superior to those of all other
nations, now occupies the same place
in the air world as the air fleets Of
the Lesser powers.
Where Great Britain formerly led
the world in bombing machines,
fighting two-seaters, fighting scouts
and artillery observation planes she
now seems content to rest on her
former laurels on. the grounds of
economy.
Air officers of the British flying
forces are furious. They are of the
opinion, voiced openly by the gener-
ais of the. British Air Force, that
the country needs air protection as
much as she formerly needed sea
protection.
:. "England is no longer an island"
high air official told the United
Press, "the continent is but a half
hours flight from British Shores"
Politicians, however, continue to
make drastic economy cuts in the
machines and flying personnel Of
Britian's air navy.
The present status in machines
maintained is rapidly coming down
to a similarity with the pre-war
schedule, when the types and num-
bers flown were the lowest category.
Before the armistice, Great Brit
ian had in England alone nearly
five hundred flying stations. Today
she has fifty odd. The huge produc-
ton plants, repair depots, aircraft
parks and stores parks which grew
up like mushrooms and flourished

GOLF CROWNS T0PPLE;
OTHERS ARE WOBBLlNG
By Henry L, Farrell

-
Omitted Press Stan Correspondent
New York, June 13-Already the
young 1922 golf season looks like
q heartless champion buster.
Two big champions have already
been succeeded and more. look all
tagged and billed for fate.
Miss Cecil Leitch, former British
woman champion, regarded as the
greatest woman player in the world,
not only lost her title to Miss Joyce
Wethered but received the worst
beating that finilist ever received
in that tournament.
Next on the list was Willie Hunter,
British amatuer champion, who drop
ped his title to E. w. Holderness.
The British open championship is
next on the list and it isn't welding
the hammer to figure that Jack
Hutchison, the American holder of
the title, may be the next champion
casualty.
Before. sailing, Jock the Hutch,
warned his followers not to expect
too much of him and he announced
that he felt that he would not be
able to retain the title. Jock knows
a good deal about British golf and
the conditions under which the tour
naments are staged over there and he
is not rash enough to boast of a
doubtful contest.

FINDS BURIED RATCHET
BEARING DATE OF 1871

While clearing and breaking on his
farm North of Cass Lake. Oscar
Hauglam unearthed quite an ancient
Ratchet. The Ratchet bears the date
of 1871 and has two lines of small
print which are partly effaced by
rust.
A few rods from where the hat
Chef was unearthed, human bones
were discovered about year ago.
The bones were mostly in crumb-
led state but enough of them had
kept their true form to indcntify
them as belonging to human being.
1t is believed that the trapper who
lost his Ratchet no doubt lost his
life there in running fight with
indians. The date 1871 is when the
first U. S. bank was established at
Philadelphia, which was then the cap
itol. George Washington, the ma
TONS first president, was then scrv-
ing his first term. The Ratchet is
obviously 1870 years old'
Had John Smith, old Wrinkle
Meat, who recently passed away at
at ripe old age, lived until the hat
chct had been discovered, he might
have cleared up the mystery of the
"buried hatchet." There is a pos
sibility that he may have lost the
Ratchet when out hunting for nice
cherry tree to chop down to see II
he couldn't be a second George
Washington.

Supreme Court Decision Marks,
800 ~~~@~. -
Sweeping Victory in State
Farm Bureau Fight
PUBLIC REGULATIoNtOF.
FARM MARKETS UPHELD
Fight for Open Marketsa wi,
Led By Minnesota Farm;
Bureau Federations y

Minnesota farmers have won
decisive battle in their fight for
public regulation of the markets
where their products are sold.
The state supreme court has hand
ed down a decision upholding the
law by which Minnesota declared the
South St. Paul livestock exchange
to be an open market.
The decision affirms the right of
the people to exercise the police
powtrs of their state government III
regulating the livestock exchange.
Gan association of commission men,
dealing in livestock at public stock
yards, may be required to- observe
such reasonable regulations as tho
state sees fit to impose in the exer-
else of it's police power" the supreme
court ruled.
The decision of the high court was
handed down in the case of Grisin
against the South St. Paul Livestock
exchange. George Grisim a member
of the exchange traded, with
non member in violation Of
rules of the exchange. The en-
change attempted to fine him $3.50
for breaking its regulations; MI.
Grisim brought the court action "a
gainst the exchange. -.
Under the "open market" act pas
sed by thel state Legislatake Last:
year as part of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau federation's legislative pro-
gram, the district court issued an
order restraining the exchange from
collecting the fine. On an appeal
to the supreme court, the decision
of the lower court was sustained.
The ruling Of the supreme" court
on the open market law IS one Of
the most important decisions ever
handed down in Minnesota in case
directly involving the farmers bust
ness interests and public welfare.
1t upholds one Of the outstanding
laws enacted by the last Legislature
in response to an overwhelming de-
mand from Minnesota farmers,
through their county farm bureaus,
for recognition of the peoples right
to supervise the market where their
food is bought and sold. ~
1t means that livestock exchange
cannot prevent it's members from
trading with men who are not mem
bcrs. 1t means that livestock; ex-
change cannot prevent members from
dealing with cooperative commits
sion association established or, the
terminal market by Minnesota farm
crs in effort to reduce the cost
of distribution and to stabilize prices
in the interest Of both the producer
and consumer. 1t means that an or
ganzcd boycott against a farmers
cooperative sales agency by live
stock exchange is unlawful.
The Minnesota supreme court,
in it's opinion. referred to court de-
cisions involving the Kansas City ex-
change, quoting a statement that the
traders who were members Of the ex:
change had never been able to re-

Legality of Issuing Paving
Bonds to Be Investigated.
" By City Attorney
COUNCIL ORDERS THAT
CITY DOCK BE ERECTED
Ordinance 127, Amendment
to Soft Drink Ordinance,
Given First Reading


for the special election on the new
proposed city charter, according to
action taken by the city council in
regular session Monday evening. It
was heretofore planned to hold this
special election in conjunction with
the primary election next Monday,
but postponement of the election
was found necessary. Booklets show
ing the proposed city charter as it
will be voted on July II are to be
distributed to every home in the city
within the next few days and care
full study of the proposed document
is urged that a conscientious vote
may be registered at the special elec-
) ton.
There is also a possibility that a
special bond election may be called
shortly. Bond issues were discussed
by the council Monday evening and
the city attorney was instructed to
investigator the legality Of issuing
pavement bonds at this time. There
seems to be considerable opinion in
favor of continuing the pavement
program and it is quite likely that a
bond issue may be called for this
purpose as we'll as for cleaning up a
number of funds which =. are now
overdrawn.
No definite action has yet been
takel with reference to the side
walks recently recommended by the
street committee, but nevertheless a
number of citizens have expressed
the desire to go ahead and construct
their own sidewalks, paying the con-
<*ractor directly, the city paying for
the grading. To facilitate this &C.
ton on the part Of property own
ers, the council has ordered that the
street committee, in such cases, re-
quest the county engineer to give
grade so that the street commission
er may have the grading done.
E. D. Boyce, chairman of the civic
affairs committee of the Civic and
Commerce association, appeared be-
fore the council with a request that
the city provide at least 20 recep-
tacles for waste paper to be located
on the downtown corners in order to
clean the streets of waste paper. The
request was referred to the purchas-
ing committee to be reported on at
the next meeting.
Mr.. Boyce also called attention to
the fact that the city dock, proposed
some time ago, had as yet not been
installed. He stated that the associa-
ton is anxious that the dock be built
as soon as possible, since large
number Of summer residents have
already been inconvenienced through
the lack of such dock at the foot of
Third street. AS a result, the street
commissioner was instructed to build
a floating dock at once.
