BRIDGE WORK NOT
MENACED BY ICE.
RIVER ROSE THREE FEET IN
TWENTY-FoUR HOURS AND
THEN WENT BACK.
MAIN PIERS COMPLETED AND
STEEL WORK GOING ON
RAPIDLY.

to J. p. Anderson, builder Of bridges,
there is very little danger Of the ice
in the Minnesota causing any great
amount Of damage to the new bridges
being built across the river. Mr.. An
derson had some hours Of anxiety Sat
urday night when the river rose
rapidly, continuing to rise all day
Sunday until it stood 9 feet above it's
ordinary level, the last ten inches be-
ing made in the two hours between
six o'clock and eight o'clock in the
evening. Then the rise stopped and
by Monday morning the water had
fallen two inches, thus .averting the
danger, unless sudden and heavy rains
should come.
Since the above was written the
river has again started to come up
gradually and the gauge at the Eagle
Mill Tuesday morning showed a rise
of eight inches during the night Mon
day. It was still, however, some eight
or nine feet below high water mark
Slow Current Lucky. /.
Mr.. Anderson says that there is not
enuf current at this time to cause
trouble from an ice jam and he does
not anticipate any great amount of
vexation from this source. The ice
did heaye the false work on the bridge
nearest the Eagle Mill about four feet
last Thursday and it was necessary to
dynamite the ice to let the false work
back in place. No great amount OF
damage was done altho the water
flooded the space on which the working
materials were stored and Monday
morning the men were busy in hip
boots carrying the kegs Of rivets out
Of water to higher ground.
Main Piers Completed.
The two main piers on the first
bridge are now completed and one ot
the side abutments is also done. The
other will be completed within a
couple of days and the steel work is rap.

ELIMINATES SLEEPY EYE AND
MARSHALL AT REDWOOD
DISTRICT FINALS.
HIGH Z SCHOOL QUINT MAKES
GOOD CLAIM TO DISTRICT
CHAMPIONSHIP, ....

Who goes to Carleton? New Ulm
And who says SO? Sleepy Eye! In
one of the most hotly contested dis
trict meets ever held, New Ulm came
thru with victory and defended theil
claim to the championship and won
the right to go to the state meet
at Carleton. = ~ ''''',jas.,
The Victory Special.
The deciding games were played at
the State Armory at Redwood Falls.
A special train of five coaches took the
New Ulm team and it's rooters accom-
panied by a twenty piece band to the
tournament. About thirty Sleepy Eye
fans boarded the New Ulm Special
at Sleepy Eye while the Marshall
people made the trip to Redwood by
auto. The Special was met at the
station by the Redwood Citizens Band
and escorted to the city.
New Ulm Plays FIRST. #
The first game of the contest was be-
tween Sleepy Eye and New Ulm
This contest was spirited one, altho
the outcome was evident before the
first quarter was over. New Ulm start
ed the scoring before minute of play
had elapsed when Schueller dropped a
neat one on a we'll executed criss-
cross play. Green of Sleepy Eye scored
a goal but not until after Schueller
and Nelson had each scored for New
Ulm. The score was then 6 to in
New :Ulm's favor and the New UEn
bunch settled back wondering only as
to the size of the final count. The
team had completely outclassed their
opponents as to speed and superb Of
fensive work.
Sleepy Eye Wakes Up.
While affairs looked so rosy for
New Ulm, Sleepy Eye after little
conference changed their motive and a
lucky shot by Green and long one
by Hertz ironed out matters so that al
end of the first quarter things. began
to be exciting.
After the quarter New Ulm took il
upon themselves to win and using Z
short passing attack soon Gagged foul
more goals. A basket each by Julius
Fritsche and two by Schueller drove
CONSERVATION into Sleepy Eye. Twt
more baskets by Green and anothe
lucky shot by Hertz was all Sleepy
was able to secure. Two more baskets
by Nelson, two by Schueller and ont
by Fritsche ended the half rs to II
for New Ulm. ".' B.
Nelson a Surprise.
The second half was repetition o
the first. New Ulm's best work wa
done in the last quarter. Sleepy Ely
weakened and was unable to stem tn
New Ulm offensive. Nelson was tn
surprise of the contest. Having playe
sub throughout the season this was hi
first regular contest. He shared hon
ors with Captain Schueller and Felt
sche, each getting six field goals
Shorty Green was the shining light o
the losing team. He played a yer
clean game, sank five field goals an

charged with a personal foul. Th
final score was At to 33. ..

Japan Will Not
Teach Flying Yet

Toxic, June Zi.-The naval depart
ment has notified the Master Of Semp-
i'll and other British aviators brough.
Eere to teach Japanese officers and
men of the navy the art of flying, that
their services will not be required af-
ter this year, in fact. most Of the in
structors expect to leave Japan early
in the fall.
The department is of opinion that
the Japanese navy has now sufficient
men to carry on this branch Of the
service without the aid of foreign in
structors. The latter have done good
work here and contrary to those who
thought the japanese were not tenn
peramentally suited to flying have
succeeded in producing quite num-
ber of expert aviators. They are not,
according to one of the British avia-
tors, quite as reliable in an emergency
as American or British aviators would
be but for general purposes are quite
up to the best in America or Europe.
They have good aerodromes, fleet
of aeroplane carriers and a consider
able number of serviceable machines.
Now the war department which al
ready has a good aviation corps is
bringing out three French experts to
erect machines at the TokOrosawa
school with view TO improving the

429 Japanese to
Every Square Mile

Osaka, Japan, May % (By MaiD.-
The English edition of the Osaka
Mainichi, the only foreign newspaper
In Japan, conducted exclusively by
Japanses claiming that the latest sta.
tistics show that there are 429 Jap
anese to every square mile of ia
pan proper and that the population
is increasing at the rate of 14.6 per
thousands, says it is a grave prob
lem for Japan to find an outlet for
her people. Japan lacks natural re-
sources and is already overpopulated,
so the Mainichi says emigration is
the only solution and suggest South
America as the place to send the over
flow.
Both the United States and Can
ada keep their doors shut against the
Japanese people, and it would be inn
possible for the Japanese to emigrate
into those countries" says the Maini-
chi. ut is true that there are Man.
churia and Siberia left for Japanese
emigrants, but these are rather places
for capitalists to exploit than for la
Dorers. Under present circumstan-
ces, it seems that South America of
fers the most promising future for
the Japanese people, both politically
and economically. 1t may therefore
be said that the key to the solution
OF the present difficulty of population
question in Japan lies in the emigra-
ton of the japanese people to that
country.
LAS matter of fact, emigration to
South America has long been going
on, as is seen in the presence of mayn
Japanese in Brazil and in neighbor-
ing countries, but it has hitherto been
carried on in very half hearted
manner. The majority of the Jap
anese emigrants to South America
were poor laborers without capital
and without any capable leaders, and
the result was that they did not sue
ceed' and led miserable lives there.
IL Will, therefore be seen that the
present method of emigration to
South America should be radically
improved so as to make it success"
Several parties of Japanese, going
TO the centennial exhibition at Rio
Janeiro are to look into the possibility
OF Japanese settling in Brazil but the
government denies the reports that

Favorable Trade Balance

Whatever we may Say about our
foreign trade in the fiscal year Which
ends with the current month, it's "fav
orable trade balance" or excess of
exports over imports will far exceed
that of any yearprior to the war. The
biggest favorable trade balance" that
We ever had prior to the war, says the
Trade Record of The National CITY
Bank of New York, was $666 900 900
in the fiscal year 1908, $665, 900 900
in 1901, and 1858 100000 in 1918. In
the fiscal year 1914, all of which
elapsed before the beginning of the
war, the excess of exports over i'm
ports was $47O,G O,G53 900, and in the fis-
cal year which ends with this month
will be approximately $1,140,O00,OOO,
or 140 per cent over that of the year
preceding the war, and nearly 100 per
cent above that of any pre-war year.
The billion dollar line in the flavor
able trade balance" was first crossed
in the fiscal year 1915, and the exec. S
Of exports over imports rapidly
mounted during the war to a little
over $2,0O0,O00,O00 in 1916, 3R bill
lions in 1918, and little over four
billion dollars in 1919, dropping to $2,-
870,000,000 in 1920 and $2,862 ,OOO,-
900 in 1921, while for the current yeal
it will, as above indicated, approx
nate s1,14O, 100000, all of these fig
ures relating to the fiscal years.
Favorable trade balances" adds
the Trade Record, have been the rule
in our foreign trade since the develop
ment of our great Mississippi Valley
as a producer of the foodstuffs and
manufacturing materials which the
world requires, and of our factories
which supply tire big increase in our
exports of manufactures. In the long
period from 1890 to the beginning of
1874 imports almost continuously ex-
ceeded imports. In 70 of the 81 years
from 1870 to 1874, imports exceeded
exports; in Al of the 48 years since
1874, exports exceeded imports. The
excess of imports over exports from
1890 to the beginning of 1874 was, in
round terms, $4,000, 100000, while the
eycess Of exports over imports from
the beginning cf 1874 to date exceeds
$31 O0OOOGOOO.
n This change from practically con-
nuous excess Of imports to practi-
cally continuous excess of exports
which dates from 1874, is at least
simultaneous with the development OF
our railroad system which brought the
great producing interior in close touch
with the waters edge, the railways
of the country having agere gated in
1872 but 66, 900 miles, as against 1885,.
900 at the present time.
The imports into the United States
from the beginning IF 1890 to the enc
of the fiscal year 1922 aggregate STA,
O66 100000 and the exports $103,
734 100000; the excess of exports fol
the entire period aggregates 500, ,668,
100000.

Declined to Serve
For Unusual Reason

Peking, June 24.-When General
Wong Shih-cheng was called into tho
presidents Office recently and asked
TO serve as premier under a recon
struction regime he declined with q
reason considered unusual in China.
General Wang served under the Man
chus, was premier in the early stages
OF the Republic and once attempted to
reorganize the army.
In a country which has respect for
old age it was thought proper that he
should assume responsibility for
forming new cabinet. But General
Wang pleaded his 65 years as a reason
for not serving and added that his ed .
ucation and training were of the OLD
school and therefore unsuited for the

tous system of taxation, and thereby
shift the burdens of taxation to the
shoulders of him who is. best able
to bear it. He stated, however, that
ne was not going to discuss those inn
portant matters, for they were going
to be the main issues of the campaign.
and he did not think it, fair, to his
opponents to take them up in their
absence, and, therefore, he was going
to confine himself to discussing his
qualification for the office.
A few excerpts from his speech arc
as follows:
"My fellow citizens, there are a few
peanut, mediocre, privincial narrow
minded, selfish politicians who are
saying that l have rot been in Union
County long enough to be elected to
the Senate, while those politicians
know that they are violating the sa-
cred constitution of our state. and
are seeking to withhold from me the
right and privileges which the consti-
tuition guarantees me, regardless as
to whether or not / am best suited To
serve you, and are asking you to be
participants in the violation of our
constitution, while if you were to VIC.
late it in some minor particular.
where their selfish interest were not
served, they would insist that you be
placed on the chain gang. However,
have such confidence in the intell-
gence and spirit of fair play of the
citizenry of Union County that l be-
lleve you will consider such argu-
ments as the adding of insult to in
jury, and you will not fall for any
such soft stuff.
Certainly no statesman will stoop
to such tactics. Why, My Fellow Cit
liens, it is inconsistent, it is ridicu-
lous, it is even superfluous to contend
that it is all right to intrust me with
the defense of your lives before our
courts, with your property interests
and with the moulding of the lives
and characters of your children in
the high school in our county seat
and then to say that l should not be
allowed to help make the laws which
determine the environment which
make it easy or hard to properly
mould those lives.
81 come not to you in an apologet-
ical manner, asking you to give me q
chance, asking you to make an exper.
| iment of me, but l tell you, that If
| you elect me as your Senator, I will
make you one Of the best Senators
that you ever had. will apply my
self in the assiduous way that I have
in the past. I will burn the midnight
oil to make a record that will cause
| you to be proud that you supported
me, and to solve the great problems
that confront our state, and to protect
the interest of Union County.
"Not only have sought to train my
mind in order that might serve you
but I have kept clean from all evil
habits to such a degree that chal-
lenge the fairest lady of our county
to show more chaste life than have
lived from my youth up.
"The great demand in public life to
day is for men who thoroughly under
stand and appreciate our great insti.
tutions, but have not accumulated
vast fortunes 80 that their interest is
not the interest of the laboring man.

Jonesville, S. c., June 26, 1922.
MIR. E: B. Smith, attorney at law at
Union, and candidate for the State
Senate from Union County, spoke at
the Y. M. c. A. auditorium this even
ing to a large audience, which showed
by its cheering to be in sympathy with
the speaker.
Mr.. Smith said that this was the
first of a series of acquaintance
speeches that he is making over the
county, that he hopes in this way to
meet the people, and take care of sew
eral minor points in order that the
people may know who he is, why he is
what he is, where he came from, etc.,
and in order that he may devote his
entire time during the campaign to
the main issues.
He said that he was reared on the
farm until he was 16 years of age, at
which time his father gave him per-
mission to leave home to get an edu-
cation. His grandfather having been
reduced to poverty by the war be-
tween the states, losing $500 acres
of the most beautiful land of Marion
county, and $4,000 worth of slaves,
and his father being practically bank
rupt by planting large farm of cot
ton the year that the European war
broke out, when cotton dropped to six
cents, he refused help from his father,

week, got job as janitor of church
at Mullins, S. c., patched part of the
time, MIXED cows, attended to stock
built fires, etc., for his board, and in
this way he worked his way through
high school.
At the conclusion of his high school
| course he borrowed $4,000 and went
to the University of South Carolina,
where he worked his way through col
| lege, receiving his A B. and l.. L.. B.
degrees within five years, when il
usually takes six years to get those
degrees. In addition to getting both
| of his degrees within five years he
won ten gold medals for oratory and
debating while in college (and two
while in high schooD, and was captain
| of the football and track teams; was
president of practically every organi
zation in the University, including the
Y. M. C. A.; worked his way through
and had over $4,000 in his pocket
when he received his last degree.
