CYCLE
. COMPLETE

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Many
years ago when Willie Hoppe was
just learning that billiard cue is
more than a handy implement to
throw at the neighbor's cat, the
name Of Jacob Schaefer was one to
conjure with in the billiard world.
In 1921 and 1925 Schaefer's wiz
ardry was perpetuated when his son
won the 1872 balkline billiard cham
pionship of the world, and the cycle
was completed last night when
Young Jake regained the cham
pionship from Welker Cochran.
That seems to make the title more
or less of family heirloom. Young
Jake, who was making fancy shots
at an age when most infants are
learning how to manipulate knife
and fork instead of a billiard cue,
should have little difficulty in re-.
tanning the crown if he does not
lose the form he showed in the
match just concluded.
Hoppe, whose long reign was
ended by Schaefer in 1921. was
an interested spectator at the
festivities last night. He saw
Jake win by the comfortable
margin OF 1900 to 1904, al.
though Cochran outscored the
challenger 551 to 300 in the final
block.
The thinly-veiled hostility between
the two cue artists lent the match
spicy atmosphere not usually
found at billiard match. Jake
and Welker have not been on speak
ing terms for some time, but the ice
was broken when Jake forgot him.
self and remarked tough luck!' as
the champion missed a shot.
Schaefer's gram average during
the match was "a 3-4S. Cochran's
was 81 2-42.
Cochran's grand rally came too
late to save his title. At one stage
he was trailing by a score of 1912
to 1853.

The King Pins appear to have
the only healthy chance of over

its opportunity, the King Pin team
has accepted the membership of

1t was the idea of the King

but, somewhat to their sur

was opposed by several teams.

plain, was not one Of these.

SEALED GRIMM SEED
BEST FOR PLANTING

Too many wait until the eleventh
hour to get their seed grain, legumes,
and grasses. A sharp demand is fore
seen for alfalfa seed by A. c. Army,
of the university's farm crops section.
Buy the sealed seed of the Grimm
variety" he says, land then you'll
know you have something genuine
and buy it early"
Increase in the alfalfa acreage has
been a standing project for several
years of the university's agricultural
extension service. Many agencies
have co-operated with it with the re-
suit that the land planted to this
legume in the state increased from
2,2SS acres in 1909 to- 220,256 in 1924
and alfalfa is now estimated to be
growing on 100000 acres.

Whether or not the county is to
have a snow pillow and keep at least
the main roads open during winter
has been a topic for conversation
lately. Arguments were heard for
and against at the special board
meeting held in Pine City 1ast Sat-
urday. The county commissioners
will meet in regular session Monday
and the matter will likely come up
for discussion again at that time.
Having the roads kept open in the
winter time is fine thing, there is
no doubt about that, but it is matter
of no small Importance and must be
thoroughly weighed before final ac-
ton is taken. The commissioners no
doubt will give it due consideration.
Highway No. 1, the trunk road run
ming through Pine county from Rock
Greek to Sturgeon Lake, is of course
kept open all the time by the State
Highway Department If the county
purchases a snow pillow it will keep
open all the state aid roads in the
county with a mileage of between
200 and 800, and as many OF the
township roads as it can get around
to and the townships will pay for.
When some of the roads are kept open
for automobile traffic throughout the
winter folks along blocked roads will
want those opened also. OF course
we fully realize that under that sy-
stem of reasoning we would never
have any progress but the expense
must be given due consideration as
the county has bonded Indebtedness
of $4,000 on the road and bridge
fund and the outstanding warrants
ran to nearly 100000. We are not
calling attention to these matters to
draw a dark and gloomy picture but
simply because we must be careful
not to take on anything new that will
cause too much expense considering
the obligations that we already have.
Those modern conveniences are all
fine but when we come to pay for
them the day that we pay our taxes
is when we complain. The COM
missioners will give it thorough con-
sideration but in the meantime it will
be alright to let your local commits
