DRAINAGE OBTAINED ON
THE INSTALLMENT PLAN

The third installment of a tile
drainage system on the north SO-acre
unit of the Northeast Experiment Sta
tion near Duluth was recently COM
pleted and the fourth and last Install
ment will be undertaken two years
hence, when additional funds become
available. A mile and a half of new
tile was laid under the supervision
of H. B. Roe of the drainage section
of the agricultural engineering di-
vision of the university. The surveys
and plans for complete drainage OF
the eighty were made by university
engineers.
The installment plan of providing
drainage is recommended to land own
ers who would like to reclaim good
sized tracts, but have not the ready
means to do all the work at once
Some part of the project can be COM
pleted and put to use and the remain
der of the work done as time and
finances justify.

DIVINE PEACE

"The Lutheran Church-The Bible
Church" The wonderful Christmas
story as we find it recorded in the

the person who is not moved by the

with us, in the birth of the Savior, in
festival service, which will be held
Christmas morning, beginning at 10
O'Clock. A German service will be

of Christmas music, the inspiring call
of the Christmas bells, as they ring
out to you Christmas morning. A
cordial welcome is extended to all.

HOUSE GETS new
FARM AID BILL
Hauqen Plan For Relief of Agri'
culture Is in Hands of
Committee.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. a long
series of conferences among western
farm leaders, Representative Gilbert
n. Haugen of Iowa, chairman of the
house committee on agriculture, in
troduced the house form of the Nc
Nary bill. This initiates the 1926 fight
for farm relief legislation. Hearings
will begin Immediately after the
Christmas holidays, on January 10.
when the National Grange, advocates
of the national debenture plan, will
present their case to the committee.
The house administration leaders have
promised to give the right of way to
farm legislation except for appropria,
ton bills as soon as bill is ready.
The Haugen bill differs from the Nc
Nary bill chiefly in it's declaration OF
policy, declaring it is the purpose OF
the bill to do away with the present
disparity in the prices of farm pro-
ducts and of industrial products. Ex-
planning his bill. Representative Haul
gen said: 81 am introducing today a
surplus control agricultural bill which
has been worked out in its present
form in many conferences with many
farm groups, and now represents the
best thought of the farm leaders all
over the country. This bill deserves
to receive and I believe it will re-
ceive the undivided support of all far
mers and farm groups which have for
many years been seeking for farmers
an equal opportunity with other
groups.

Pitching Big Factor
In turning out a major league PEN
nant winner, the value or pitch
ing cannot be underestimate.
In the spring when I looked over
the st. Louis Cardinals at San An
tonic, Tex, Manager Rogers Hornsby
commented thusly to me as to his
chances of winning the National
league pennant:
'There are five National league
clubs feel sure we Will beat out:
fear only New York and Pitts
burgh.
'My club has the batting power,
the proper spirit and the will to win.
IF the Cardinals get good pitching
it is going to be a mighty trouble
some team. However, have some
doubts as to my pitching
When I visited the New York
Giants at Sarasota, Fla, Manager
John McGraY was positive that he
would get more improved pitching
lust enough better than 1925 to en-
able him to win.
Hornsby got better pitching than
he expected while McGraw's staff
fell short, which explains the differ
ence in the standing of the two
clubs.

Nationals Did Well

While Manager Stanley Harris Of
the washington club failed to win
three pennants in a row, as he had
hoped the youthful leader of the
Senators turned in what might be
considered a very good season.
Infield experiments that failed to
turn out as expected and tenn
porary failure of his pitching, staff
to properly function, upset the dope
early in the year and proved too
great a handicap to overcome In the
quest for q third flag.
There are many experts who still
believe the Washington club. pitch
ing excepted, is the best team IN the.
American league.
If Manager Harris can overcome
the shortcomings of mis- pitching
staff, and he is making every effort
to do SO, Washington is certain to
be strong pennant factor in 1927.

tory.
Four home runs punctuated the at
tack, each club getting two The CUBS
had man on base each time. while the
White Sox connected for one without
a man on base and again with two on.
Bib Falk led the attack for the Sox
with three hits, including home run
and a triple. His triple sent Kauf-
mann, Cub pitcher, from the hill.
Blake, who followed Kaufman, was
wild and before Osborn could steady
himself in the eighth inning, Barrett
poled a four bagger with two on. Lyons
pitched a steady game and although hit
freely was given gallant support by his
team mates.
