aHusky" Hartsgrove,
Hebron Star, Signs
With Boston Braves

Joseph George HUSKY Harts-
rove OF Hebron has signed with the
Boston Braves and will report to the
National League club this spring.
Hartsxroye is one Of the best known
,choolboy athletes in Maine. having
been an outstanding star in baseball.
football and track for more than
three years. He first won recogni-
ton at Hebron Academy. then enter
ed Kent's Hill Sem, two years ago.
Hartsgrove is now at Greenville, but
he expects to reenter Kents Hill
early this month and receive his
diploma before joining the Braves.
Hartsgroye is pitcher and outheid-
er.
His signing with the Braves did
not come as a surprise to the many
friends Of the Hebron youth, for 1t
was 4 well known fact in athletic
circlea that several scouts had been
keeping close tabs on him. 1t is re-
ported that he had several offers
from big league clubs. although this
report has not been verified.
He put his name on the dotted line
Of a Braves contract before the
closing of school for the Christmas
holidays.

tionately. He is q years Of age.
His schooling started at Hebron.
where he won immediate recognition
a leading athlete in several
branches of sport. He starred on
the football field. and as a pitcher
In baseball.
The next year Hartsgrove shifted
to Kent's Hill and continued to add
glory bars to his sports shield. His
pitching continued to be about the
best brand of hurting in Maine
schoolranks, and he began winning
fame with the ashen club.
His football game was a fashy
sort, and he added track honors at
the Hilltop school. One of his
greatest feats was at the Portland
Legion games last winter when he
put the 16 pound shot further than
GEORGE D. Tootell, Bowdoin's ace in
the weights.
He beat Tootell regardless of the
iact that he was scratch man in the
event, while Tootell was given a
loot handicap. Due to this bone" in
nandicapping, Hartsgrove finished
only third in the event, heavy hand
oicappers winning first three places.
;, Many colleges have been after
hartsgrove and it was though that
ne would enter Bowdoin next year.
ms signing with the Braves puts an
ead to his amateur athletics. Col
ieges have lost an athlete who PROM
ned great things in track. and who
undoubtedly would have starred in
other major sports.

Continued support was pledged to the aims and ideals of the progressive party.
 'LaFollette saw his country drift Ing toward the gulf between the re- lentless greed of the cruel feudal in- dustrialism on the one hand and destructive communistic propaganda on the other" the resolution said. "He saw the might of privilege en- trenched and buttressed by the pow CTS of political party of public office and controlled press. He saw that while the political system was one of hestowlng legislative and other public favors to those already pos sessing swollen fortunes the people as a whole have but small opportunity pl nlldTln6 olI tllUse ldNO1s dllQ IndL hence corruption in government is the great and essential asset of the private interests seeking these fa- vors.

 If 1t is true" Mr. Iglesias con- tinued, that South America is drifting toward balance of power system. it Is because of two prin- eipal factors:
 First, American investments in every Latin American nation. placing those nations under heavy obliga- tions and sometimes placing even their customs houses and internal revenues under supervision of American officials
 Second, European political prop sganda which IS working toward a European political and social lead ership in Latin-Amorica
