No Alliance

The United States is not, and never
has been, an ally of any nation, ex.
cept by special agreement
1t is not an ally of Great Britain
and Japan with regard to the
present Chinese situation.
Further than that, it has little
reason to become their ally.
Great Britain and Japan have
national interests in China-treaty
ports, concessions and extraterritorial
privileges.
The United States has no interest
in China, except to protect the
property and lives of it's citizens.

The answer to yesterdays ques-
ton is that Declarer, winning the
first trick with the Ten Of Clubs,
can see that, in addition to the two
Club tricks now assured, he must
make seven additional tricks without
losing more than one trick to the
adversaries-if he is to make game.
1t might be possible to establish one
or more Spade tricks, but not with
out losing two Spades; therefore the
Spades must be eliminated from con-
sideration and without them the only
hope is to make four Diamonds and
three Hearts. The odds are against
having these suits break perfectly,
but they may; therefore the POSSIBLE
ity that they will should not be
neglected.
Yesterdays answer slip should
read:
On trick 2, North should lead the
Three of Diamonds and South should
play the Queen of Diamonds. On
trick 3, South should lead the Two of
Hearts and North should play the
Four of Hearts.
The other possible play would be
to lead the Ace of Hearts from
Closed Hand to trick 8, and duck on
trick a; but the duck on trick 8 is
probably more deceptive. BY the
aid Of this duck and the fortunate
position of the adverse Hearts and
Diamonds, game can be made.
One more duck hunt"

Shock to Congress

In 1915 Senator Newlands pre-
scented a bill creating a national
waterway council and water con-
troll board and authorizing an initial
appropriation of $60,O00,0 900. 1t was
the object of this bill to launch
the project of river control. espe-
cially as it affected the Mississippi
system. in such way that it could
develop continuously over a period of
years.
Congress was shocked at the size
Of the venture and laid the bill on
the table, but within less than one
year it led this country into war
which involved twenty or thirty
times the expense of the Newlands
program.

Tracy
~ Says:
Question of Whether Sacco
and Vanzetti Had Fair
Trial on Definite Basis.
BY NJ. f. Tracy

Nan3ettis petition to Governor
Fuller is overshadowed by the half
dozen affidavits that accompanied it.
These affidavits specifically charge
Judge Webster Thayer with preju-
dice and cite instances to prove it.
This puts the question of whether
Sacco and Vanzetti had a fair trial
on a definite basis, and leaves Gov
ernor Fuller little choice, except to
make a thorough investigation.

Mistake About China

The North China Daily News says
that the United States has deserted
her allies, Great Britain and Japan,
and many Americans in China ap-
per to agree with this view.
1t is easy to understand how zeal
for it's own interest might lead a
British organ to make such a mis-
statement of facts.
1t is not so easy to understand how
citizens Of this country can take a
position that is in variance with its
traditional policy.

Looking Over
Palace Show

A juggling act Of more than usual
appeal is present the last half at
the Palace. %
FELLOWS. as the act is billed, does
many intricate little things in the
line of juggling that are seldom seen
and display an exceptional talent
for this sort Of work.
Mullane and Ghreta are a man
and. woman who have a clever lit
tie act in which the man tells some
really funny stories about the Irish
and the Hebrews. He also sings
rather well.
The girl in the act does her bit
as an accomplishment and plays a
good piano solo.
Banjoland is a group of six men
playing banjos and woman who
offers several speciality dances.
There is some good melody in this
act and it is we'll taken care of.
The woman is best in a fast dance
offering.
The Jolly Juniors is a series Of
songs and dances by three women
and three men.
These people are clever in their
line of work and besides the dances
offer some good songs and harmony
numbers.
Donia and Dunlavey are two men,
who have nothing but some comedy
tricks Of speech by one Of them and
a fair voice on the part Of the other
in a song.

Among the problems that had

vice between this territory and

of static with radio across the

hours in time. For example when
it is noon in Sank Centre, it is

Brooten Has Costly Fire
Early Thursday Morning

suing from the place and the
alarm was once more given. This
was close to 8 o'clock and from
that time until Z o'clock in the
morning the firemen were kept
busy.
The fire gradually worked its
way through the floor and into the
ceiling, and it was then that the
flames became most intense and
the fire fighters had their most diff
ficult task. Two streams of water
were played on the building from
either end and by a judicious di-
rection of these the flames We're
finally controlled, but not until
there had been some misgivings by
adjoining property owners.
A southwester1y breeze was in
favor of the bakery building adj
joining on the south, but some of
the stock and fixtures were car
ried out in the event that the fire
should become uncomfortable. N. r.
Nelson's building on the north
fortunately is allow structure and
the flames, sweeping up, over the
concrete wall could not touch it.
Had this place caught fire without
doubt the printing office, meat
market, post office, which are all
frame places, and possibly the
drug store and bank, would have
been wiped out.
At noon today the fire was still
burning and was carefully watch
ed. The concrete walls are all
that remain standing of the Res
low place which was one of the
most substantial buildings in town
The cause of the fire cannot be
definitely determined, but it is
thought that it may have been due
to spontaneous combustion. The
basement was used largely for the
oiling of harness and a number of
them had recently been treated.

yield that they did prior to the
seeding Of alfalfa.
alfalfa has been made a sue
cessful crop where other tame
hays have failed almost repeatedly.
The only prequisite to get success
full stand of alfalfa is that one
must thoroughly understand the
nature of the plant and seed it on
soils suitable for it, and when the
soil lacks the essentials put them
in.
GAS a result of our investiga-
ton, we found that the growing of
alfalfa is absolutely necessary for
the Minnesota farmer to get the
most economic results from his
farming, dairying and general live
stock raising. Millions of dollars
are being spent annually by our
stockmen for commercial protein
feeds causing an overhead of from
$500. 90 to $4,000. 90 per farm
which can be saved by the grow
ing of alfalfa for feed and At the
same time increase the fertility ot
the soil, making farming on those
fields permanently profitable.
"Realizing these and many other
favorable results from a campaign
of this kind. The Times has
launched an educational program
for IAN Acre of Alfalfa for Every
Cow"
Gin the sections badly, infested
with sow thistle and Canada thistle
alfalfa has proven to be the only
sure method of combating and fl
nally eradicating this noxious weed
from the farm fields. They will
not stand the frequent cutting
which alfalfa will, and in few
years will disappear.
"During this campaign everyone
attending meetings has an oppor-
tunity to ask questions and be-
come thoroughly familiar with all
the natural habits of alfalfa and
get information that will help solve
their particular problems. Prac-
tically every farmer who has al
falfa today needs the help from
this campaign as well as those who
have not as yet started"

Clenwood Shows Class

That the number 49, common
ay associated with the superstitious
idea, can work both ways at once,
was evident here Friday night,
when Glenwood hung up their
thirteenth straight win of the sea-
son at the expense of the lowly
Main Streeters, who were playing
the thirteenth game of their sched-
ule and taking their ninth straight
defeat.
Tall and rangy, a mature team
of apparent experience, the Pope
county outfit looked like the
champions that predictions have it
they will actually be after the
District tournament has been
played. Their only noticeable
weakness was on defense and that
only during the first half.
Starting fast, the Main Street
ers, by dint of some hard work
and Peterson's shooting, kept the
score at 9 all in the first quarter
and II all until the last part of
the second, when a Glenwood bar
rage at the nets put the count at
10 to II at half-time. Laid,
1rgens and Halderson each tossed
in three field goals during the half
while Peterson Gagged four and
Miller one.
In the second half the Norgaard
men continued their accurate toss
ing, boosting their total nine points
in each quarter, while the locals
managed to annex four each per-
iod. Irgens tailed four more
times and Ladd and Denhardt each
added two. Peterson was held to
one basket during this half, but
Walden found the loop twice with
sensational long shots.

Teams to Melrose

Tomorrow, Friday, will find
both High School teams playing
return engagements at Melrose.
Having won the boys game here
by a margin of seven or eight
points, Melrose will be the favorite
in the fracas on their home
floor, unless the Main Streeters,
emulating the Minnesota team in
losing nine in a row, will further
emulate them by winning, as the
Gophers finally did last week.
The girls, although having won
the first game here, will be put to
the test IN the return mix. With
Melrose conforming to the three
division style of play here the
game there will be played with
two courts. 1t will probably be
the last game of tn eseason for
the girls. Having been the only
Sank Centre teaem to win consist
emily this year, it is to be hoped
that they will win this one, also.

Girls Win Another

In slow game, the Main Street
girls won the preliminary event
Friday evening from the Osakis
girls, by a Is ito 7 score, to add
one more to their string of VIC
tories this season. Irene Moyni-
han led the scoring with five field
goals and one free throw for II
points, followed by Togstad of
Osakis with two and one for 5.
Reonelda Claseman also got two
baskets.
