ALL-STAR TEAM
 OF FRESHMEN
Picks Team Of Rockies For Majors Next
 Year
Ry IRWIN S. HOWE

Recently, exercising privilege that goes with the right to vote and pay income tax, we picked an "all star team. It was different from any team any of the experts had picked because | it was made up of players who had Tn 1924 served their first year in big league f baseball-it was a class team of fresh men, as they mighty say in college cir cles.
 One purpose was to refute some com plaints that new players are not 6elng developed to meet the demands Of the jors for replacements-and the team picked was sufficient refutation, Tor as made up of first year men, 1t looked capable of holding its own with the choicest selection of "all stars" that the expertest of the exjerts could imagine.
 That team of first year men" was picked on the basis of work done by the athletes honored in their freshman year, work of such merit that every man selected has won a permanent place i'll big league society if he continues to measure up to the standard he set for starter.
 All Newcomers Now an effort is made to DICK team from the host of youngsters se- | leCleu Dy udJoI lciSuC U ioi hAA Ao-O' players from the mlnor who have not yet been seen in the big show. Maybe few of them did don uniforms ln the 1924 training camps or were called Ill the past fall for brief inspection, but none can lay claim to ever having been real big leaguer. Some of them, ln- deed, served their first year i'll profes- sional ball the past season.
 Picking this team of prospects IS not so easy, for there is a host to select from, the ma jors having drawn lberally on the minors, and then there IS variety of factors that enter into the se- llections, more or less-the class of league from which the player comes, the need of the club to which he will report for player of his qualifications, and all that.
 Generally, the pick is made on the basis of work the recruit did the past season, as shown in the averages. With out great regard for the class of league he was in, for stars emerge from Ht- tlest leagues just as they do from those of higher class, remembering that Iy Cobb came from class D league, as also did Rogers Hornsby.
 Yet To Win Spurs
 Here is team of players yet to win their spurs in the big show, with apologies to some hundred or more other youngsters just as full of ambition and confidence that they are going to prove that Il mistake was made in leaving them off:

her honor and she rejoices in them.
Their early training brings them to
places of honor. Many of our greatest
men have said: "All that | am or
hope to be / owe to my mother"
Her children arise up and call her
blessed; her husband and he praiseth
her" | love to read these lines. Hon
est praise from the lips of sincere peo-
pie never hurt anyone; the best most
of us can hope for is that dubious
thing called Constructive criticism"
Why not praise more often? Appre-
citation is the best pay a mother can
receive and all she asks for and no
praise is as sweet to a mother as that
which comes from the lips of her chill
dren Once my son called me his
wonderful mother and l lived on that
for days. Too often our mothers
walk a weary road and never hear
those few little words that could
glorify life.
MANY daughters have done virtu-
ously, but thou excellest them all.
Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain
but a woman that feareth the Lord,
she shall be praised. Give her of the
fruit of her hands and let her works
praise her in the gates. From Feb.

publication of Minnesota Federation of

hand to the poor; yea, she stretcheth
it out to the needy" She is generous
and charitable and with a mind and
heart attuned to the spirit of altruism
and service she heeds the call, not on
ly of those near at hand but in lands
across the seas, the Near East and the
Far East alike call to her and she
hears them.
''She is not afraid of the snow for
her household for all of them are
clothed with scarlet She is prudent
and far-sighted, she does not simply
drudge along without thought but puts
brains into her hands and arms.
She has a royal household and is
fond of the Iuxuries and the refine
ments of life. Listen! is this not like
the woman of today?: "She maketh
herself coverings of tapestry, her
clothing is silk and purple Scarlet,
velvet, flax and wool are there.
"She looketh we'll to the ways of her
household and eateth not the bread of
idleness." This is my birthday verse
and [ hope | have not been faithless
to it. In my grandmother's day it was
thought well if woman could lay
claim to one of these verses but the
modern American woman can lay
claim to them all.
Hear We the mental and spiritual at
tributes of this woman of my text:
strength and honor are her clothing
and she shall rejoice in time to come"
"She openeth her mouth with wisdom
and in her tongue is the law of kind
ness" This woman can do more than
rock a cradle and sing a lullaby.
Probably she can talk politics and can
sit with credit in Worlds Court The
model woman is the equal of her hus-
band. The more you look at this pic
ture the larger it gets. This is no
yelled eastern woman who cannot be
spoken to upon the street but one who
can purify politics and be force for
good in society. She is wise and kind.
In her tongue is the law of kindness.
How sweet that sounds.
"Her husband is known in the gates
where he sits among the elders OF the
land" Thus we see that she not only
fulfills her sphere in the home but is
real helpmeet to her husband and
takes an interest in his business or
professional success. She keeps him
looking we'll enough that he can take
his place among the very best people.
In Oriental countries the gates are the
Community Centers. Her children

''Wbat is the Meaning
OF the Washington SituatiOnW

The foregoing query naturally pro-
jects itself in the public mind. Peo-
pie Indignantly wonder if oil and other
interest have too big a grip on legis-
lation and too much control of legisla-
tors, cabinet officers and other high
government officials.
Bad as the situation may seem it
has it's bright side. The integrity OF
the American government does not re-
side at Washington. Officials who
take brides or officials who do not
recognize the difference between hon
or and infamy, cannot cast us down
The integrity of what we call America
is carried in our hearts as common
citizens.
AS long as we feel the disgrace OF
corrupt government and cry out
against it America is safe. The pres
ent expose will result in higher po-
litical standards. In the end we will
have better government because of the
present housekeeping.

buildings and so on. Foolishly cutting
away all his timber as many farmers
have he finds himself destitute of one
of the most needful things on the
farm.
Another mistake noted in cutting
timber away from rocky bluffs and
hillsides. Some farmers go so far as
to burn out the soil humus. AS re-
suit the loose, friable soil is carried
away in couple of years. Never, in
a thousand years, can Nature put trees
back on the hillside.
We will agree that unjust tax situa-
tons and high priced land makes
necessary the conversion of woodland
into plowland. Regrettably necessary
this process should not be carried
further than need be.

The Dairy Farmer Is
Burning His Mortgage.

A report from Green county says
that farmers in the big dairy district
there do not worry when the sheriff
comes around He is merely making
a friendly visit and has no sinister
motive Green county farms are not
being foreclosed.
The reason is the dairy cow. She
furnishes the steady flow of money to
the Green county farm. In cycle of
low prices for farm products her
product has stood up in price. Dairy
products have shown stamina all
through the years of depression.
There are two main reasons for this
One is the growth in human popula-
ton as compared to the growth in COW
population. People increase faster
than COWS do. Today with our enor-
NOUS butter production we are i'm
porting twenty-five million dollars
worth of dairy products from Den
mark.
And the other reason is the increas-
ed use of dairy products. People
recognize the value of pure milk as a
food and give it to their children and
drink it themselves in increasing
quantities. Cheese is a staple instead
of fancy article of diet. Condensed
and evaporated milk, matted milk and
other dairy products are used more
and more Advertising of dairy
products is largely responsible fol
this increased demand.
Corn, hogs and cattle are very well
indeed and have their place, but as q
good times producer and mortgage
buster the old dairy COW beats them
all

Does a Third
Party Loom

Indications are that third party
chances, so forlorn a few months ago
that leaders of the movement declared
against it, are brighter now than ever.
1t largely depends upon the old
parties nominees. The people used to
having corrupt and inefficient lesser
lights demand a clean and capable
man as president. He must be able
and he must be honest. If neither OF
the old parties is able to find a man
capable of capturing the public imagi-
nation along the lines stated a third
party headed by such man would
win.

The Greatest of All.

Every once in while we run into a
person who instead of agreeing with
other people continually has the cour-
age to say what he really thinks
What he says may not be popular, but
it has the wonderful virtue of being

OF course it does not follow that
sincerity alone is of great merit. A
fool can be sincere just as wise man
can be sincere. But it does follow that
wisdom and sincerity together make a
coordination badly needed in world

Because of poor business methods
rather than dishonesty he was unable

But when he entered the sanctuary
of his mind and began to write these

forth to point the way. He wrote with
terrible sincerity and his words burn

his readers. We who were naughty,
