 In connection with the declaration that labor WAS not going to apologize for it's association with international ists Mir. Thomas recalled that after the war a conference was held in which representatives of all the bel ligcrent nations took part and that earh delegate had spoken of the suf- fering and misery his country had experienced.

The more they un- derstnod each other. he said. the more difficult if would he for other people to plunge them into war.
 Attacks Government
 Mir. Thomas attacked the govern ment for it's failure to relieve unem- ployment. It was only after four years of pleading from labor that something be done, he said. that Mir. Baldwin had suddenly concluded that rrotectier was the one and only solu- ton.

 While France was in the Ruhr she lent money to Rumania, Czechoslo- vakia and JugoslaNia while we were paying our obligations to America. and situation was created in cen tral Europe which necessitated eI- nendifure in our own defense.

first be taken from the quarry and
analysed to find out whether the
rock contains enough limestone or
not. Samples will be sent to Naii-
son for analysis if they are brought
to this office.
Quite few men have used pyrotol
the new explosive and find it very
satisfactory. If you plan to use any
next spring it is well to get your
orders in early. You might possibly
get the explosive late this fall, but
it will keep in storage over winter
if kept in dry place. 1t is not af-
fected by freezing.
Have you a copy of the combined
annual Cow Testing association re-
port? Every member in one of the
six associations should have one.
They will not be sent unless request
ed. 1t will be an interesting copy to
have not only for the material it
contains but for the fact that it is
the first of its kind published.

3. A readjustment of our taxa

equitable distribution of taxes.
Less politics and more business
sense in legislation.
5. A progressive policy of high
way construction, based on good
business sense and to avoid extrava-
gance.
6. A square deal for boys and

order to bring this about a different
system of taxation is necessary,
where less of the burden will fall on
the local district.
7. Our marketing law should be
revised and strengthened.
s. Wisconsin is our greatest

dairying are essential to the future
of the 10th Senatorial District. Any

Recently Organized West
: Union Team Defeats Willard
Game Was a Thriller for Crowd
Play Again At Stearns County
Fair

The fast Willard team was defeated
by the West Union team on the West
Union grounds last Sunday by the
score of 5 to l.. Judkins, on the
mound for the winners, pitched su-
perb ball, allowing but three safe
hits and striking out seven men. Cas-
sell, throwing for Willard, also pitched
good ball, but his support was erratic
at times and this helped to contribute
scores. West Unions big inning was
the fourth, when two errors, a sacri-
flee and two safe bingles brought in
four counters. They added another
in the fifth on two errors and a base
hit. Willard chalked up their only
counter in the seventh on a hit, a
wild throw in trying to catch the run
ner on first, stolen base and an err
ror. These two teams will play at
the Stearns County Fair at Sank Cen
ire on August 25th and this game
should be worth seeing. The follow
ing is the box score:

Sank Centre Golfers Make
Splendid Showing at Alex
Sherman Strong and Walter Moyni'
han Both Go to Finnals In Dis
trict Tournament

The golf tournament held last
week at Alexandria was the most sue
cessful golf adventure attempted by
that city. The course was in excel
lent condition, and the new mine
met with the approval of all of the
golfers.
At least 100 players entered the
tourney. There were eleven flights
bsides the championship flight. This
gave players of varying degrees OF
proficiency ample opportunity to win
some kind of cup; fourteen cups
were awarded.
Those from Sank Centre that en-
tered were: Walter Moynihan in the
second flight; Sherman Strong in the
sixth flight; Paul Caughren seventh
flight; Beht Schnur in the eighth
flight; Aylmer Crickmer in the ninth
flight.
Strong and Moynihan stayed until
the finals in there respective flights
The other locals were eliminated on
Friday. Tn player eliminating Wal
ter should have been entered in the
first flight because he was too good a
golfer to have been entered in the
third. Even though the boys from
here did not bring home a prize they
made splendid showing and won
the respect of every player matched
against them.
One can get some kind of an idea
of Alexandria's popularity as a sum-
mer resort when it is realized that
over half of the entries were tour
lists. Many of these were expert golf
ers as was evidenced in the ladies'
match when the Minnesota State
Champion went down to defeat be-
fore the shooting of a girl from st.
Louis.
This tournament is an annual al
fair at. Alexandria and it is becoming
big drawing card.

Harvest Of Small Grain Crop
Will Be Completed This Week
Threshing Has Started and Yields
Very Gratifying-Cool Weather
Delaying Corn

Practically all the small grain
with the possible exception of flax,
in this section of Minnesota, will be
in the shock by Saturday night. The
damage to the crop by rust is negli-
gible.
Threshing is getting under way and
the yield of oats, rye and barley is
very highly gratifying to the farm
er, the quality is exceptionally good
both as to weight and color. But
very little wheat has been threshed
but the indications are that the aver
age yield will be between 20 and
30 bushels (probably about 25) per
acre, a greater portion of which will
grade No. 1
The extremely cool weather the
past ten days, while it has made the
harvesting of small grains more en-
joyable, has kept corn from making
the progress that it should at this
season of the year, and unless forst
holds off later than usual there will
be soft corn in this section this fall.
However, many Of the fields are now
in the roasting ear stage.

Methodists worship with us. It will

like to urge all the members and
friends of the church, now that the
lake season and vacation times are
over to make the most of Sunday by
being at church. The church needs
you and you need the church. The
church that adjourns it's services and
the people as well who fail to go to
church suffer great losses that can
not be recovered. How much more
