HORN Shy
LEFT OFF
TEAM

For the first time since Babe Ruth
entered the business OF selecting All,
America baseball teams, six years
ago. Rogers Hornsby has failed to
''make' the super line up.
The place at second Lase is given
this year to Frank Frischs who was
snapped to the st. Louis Cardinals
by the New York Giants for the bril-
liant Hornsby.
In left field the Bamblno places his
teammate and timely hitter. Bob
Meusel.
Second base and left field gave
the Babe lots OF trouble. He was
hard put to choose between Frlsen
and Hornsby. So were the fans
in the Babe Ruth contest conducted
by The Washington Times who
have attempted to guess Ruth's all
star lineup.
Likewise they were divided on
left field candidates. The leaders,
Judging from the thousands Of line.
ups submitted by the contest fans,
were Meusel and Goose Goslin.
The Goose, some win reniem.
Der, was chosen by Ruth the
last two years. Hundreds Oh
fans felt that the smuggling
Griffman was good enough for
f. this years lineup but all adj
mitted that he had lots of COM
petition.
Meusel's selection Is peculiarly
interesting. Early in the season
his name was linked with Walter
Beall's in a waiver rumor. 1t ap-
peared that Miller Higgins. the
Yankee manager. thought Long Bob
about through as star. Yet ne
turned out to be Of inestimable
value to the club that virtually Is
home with the American League
pennant.
Meusel is a deceptive ballplayer.
His long legs sometimes make him
appear clumsy and rather slow.
More than once he has been ac-
cused of q lack of aggressiveness
because he gives the impression OF
taking his time" But that lanky
left fielder of the Yankees com.
mands lots of respect from other
pdup1dySESs no ID a SECdL IuAOWSAs
q game and hard hitter and better
than average fly chaser.
Why MeuseI was given the
call over GOsIin the Bambin0
will explain in his article to be
published in these columns next
Saturday. Ruth's explanatory
story should be intensely inter-
esting, not, only to the con-
testants, but baseball fans in
general. He will tell why each
OF the 10 players named on his
All.America team won their
places.
In the meantime. four more Of
Babes selections have yet to be
announced. Two viii be published
tomorrow and two on Saturday.
The players announced so far in
clude Root. of the Cubs. pitcher;
Simmons. of the Mackmen. center
fielder; Gehrig, of the Yankees, first
baseman; Jackson, of the Giants,
shortstop; Frisch. of the Giants, Sec
ond baseman, and Meusel, of the
Yankees, left fielder.
The Babe Ruth editor has bunch
that the Bambino's team will be gen.
orally popular with the fans. The
first four players already announced
have met with approves, judging by
the comment. The reaction on to-
days announcement will come to-
morrow.

THE ORIGIN OF LYNCH LAW

Do you know the origin of the
term Lynch law" This phrase is
now synonymous with Mob law,
but originally it referred to executing
a sentence which duly constituted
authorities had failed to carry out.
The story goes like this:
1t seems that in the 18th century
the then Mayor of Galway, Ireland, a
Mr.. James Lynch, and his son, had a
house guest, young Spaniard. The
two young men were close friends
but in a quarrel about a woman, the
Irish lad stabbed and killed his guest.
The father had to act as judge of
the trial which resulted in a finding
of murder-and he pronounced sem
tence of death according to English
law, although Irish custom would
have been more lenient.
The boys mother reused all her
kindred against the decree and no
one could be found to carry out the
sentence. Then James Lynch him.
self took his son through the crowd
up to the tower and hanged him.
Lynch then returned home, shut
himself up, and never again set foot
out of his own door.

CO-OPERATIVES WILL
HAVE JOINT DISPLAY
AT THE STATE FAIR

Minnesota's leading cooperative
marketing organizations will stage a
joint display in special building at
the Minnesota State Fair, September
3 to 10.
Co-operatives which have signed up
for this years fair include Land
O'Lakes Creameries, Inc, Central Co
operative Livestock Association, the
Lake Region Cooperative Egg and
Poultry Association, the Twin City
Milk Producers Association, and the
Minnesota Wool Growers Association.
The Minnesota Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON will join with the co-opera-
tive organizations in putting on this
exhibit of progress in cooperative
marketing, and it is believed the ex-
hibit will prove one of the most
interesting to farmers of the many
on the fair grounds.
Leading officials of all these or
CARNATIONS will be on hand at the
Cooperative Building throughout
fair week, to meet their members
and to give members a headquarter
and rallying point during the days
of the fair.

AN INTELLIGENT NATION

mo. other nation has advanced so
far as ours in it's social and economic
adjustments" says David F. Houston,
former U. S. Secretary of the Treas
ury. "In no other country can you
find political institutions resting upon
as broad economic and social foun-
dations, or population with higher
sense Of justice, more prone to do the
right thing or with so many useful
habits of thought. Other nations of
the world have long distance to go
before they will approximate our ma
tons sound social and economic foun-
dations and its consequent stability.
81 am far from maintaining that
our government is near perfection.
Our legislative and executive bodies
are human. They do make mistakes.
They will continue to do so. We shall
continue to have a fair sprinkling
of self-seeking politicians in legisla-
tive and administrative bodies-men
who are not big enough and do not
know enough to commend themselves
by constructive proposals and sound
action on the merits of a question
we shall continue to be threatened
and vexed by stupid courses of action.
I'm the last analysis everything
will depend on the character of our
citizenship. 1t will depend upon our
keeping that citizenship pure and
upon extending it's education in in
situations of learning and in the lar
ger school of experience"

GOV. HOWARD GORE OF
WEST VIRGINIA WILL
SPEAK TO FARMERS

Governor Howard Gore of Charles
ton, West Virginia, who served as U.
S. Secretary of Agriculture for some
months following the death of Henry
Wallace of Iowa, will be one of the
chief speakers to address Gopher far
mers on the occasion of Farm Bureau
Day, Thursday, September 8, at the
Minnesota State Fair.
1--WE now have arranged the strong
est program for farmers that ever has
been, presented at Farm Bureau Day
at the State Fair, said Executive
Secretary ]. S. Jones of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation in COM
menting on this years program.
Governor Gore, who himself is a
farmer, acted as administrator of the
federal packers and stockyards act
during the time that Henry Wallace
was serving as Secretary of Agricul-
ture. At the time of Mr.. Wallace's
death, Mr.. Gore was selected to fill
the Secretary's place until Secretary
Jardine was named by President Cool
idge.
Governor Gore is widely known
among farmers as the friend of CO.
operative organizations, with which
he has had a large experience. He
will be a strong drawing card for
Farm Bureau Day at the fair.
Another top notch speaker on the
same program is Mrs. Charles w.
Sewell of Indiana, chairman of home
and community work for the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation. Mrs.
Sewell is regarded as one of the
finest speakers on the American pub
lie platform today. On several oc-
casions she has been the feature
speaker at national conventions of the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
She is in great demand throughout
the country, and Minnesota Farm Bu-
reau officials were gratified to Sc
cure her for this years State Fair
program.

STRENGTH in COOPERATION

United we stand and divided we
The California Almond Growers Ex-
change, which has been very sue
cessful, speaks of cooperation as a
weapon for the farmers in getting
better prices and maintaining their
footing in the industrial world, as
follows:
There is a practical reason for
becoming a co-operator, and to the
ordinary man one practical reason
is worth dozen theories. The prac-
teal reason is simple enough:
"Co-operatiOn is a weapOn-and the
only weapon with which the far
mer can fight the present economic
conditions which threaten his de-
struction. 1t is the only sword he
has with which to fortify himself
against the ravages of those who prey
upon him.
1--WE may blind ourselves to our
fate if we wish. We can pray that
our foes will become more lenient.
We can hope against hope that our
competitors in industry will spare
us some meager crumbs.
But if we want to gain our right
full heritage and to claim for our
selves our proper share of Americas
great prosperity, neither silence,
hopes or prayers will gain us thing.
For that we must use the weapon at
hand-the weapon of cooperation"

SHIPSTEAD ARGUES ON
PROSPERITY DIVISION

In a letter to E. G. Hall. president
of the Minnesota State Federation of
Labor, Senator Henrik Shipstead who
is to speak at the Askov- Sandstone
Fair at Askov, Thursday, Sept. LIST,
declares that the farmer and the la
borer in industry are not sharing
in the industrial prosperity of the
country
In support of this contention, the
Senator writes:
81 have shown by the governments
own census reports that farm in
comes have decreased AZ per cent in
six years and labor in the mill and
factory is producing "a per cent more
of the finished product than it did
seven years ago.
What Machinery Has Done.
'The total average monthly pay
roll has decreased more than 80 per
cent since 1920 and employment has
decreased more than Is per cent
since 1920
due to new machinery, I find in
dustry is getting a much larger pro-
duction with less employment of la
Dor and as a result income and value
of industrial corporations have in
creased 20 per cent in four years as
revealed by the statistics of the De-
partment of Commerce.
consequently we have this stu

This shows that the farmer and
the laborer in industry are not shar-
ing in the industrial prosperity of the
country.
This mal-adjustment in the social
fabric is to a large extent due to
legislation that has been passed favor
ing industry at the expense of labor
and agriculture.
This information should definitely
kill the propaganda that has been
spread charging labor with the cause
of the high cost of living"

OPINIONS OF OTHERS
WANTS MORE OPINIONS
Editor Askov Americana:

Editor Askov American:
Say Opinions of O." are you dead?
Tell me sweet one, please, for l have
not seen hide nor hair of you for quite
some time.
Listen -"Opinions"-do you
really read the papers? If so honey,
why don't you bestir yourself oc-
casionally. Huh-honey?
Anyway the editor as it happens
has unhappily run across some $780,
900 starving children here in the
states, Though I'll confess I think
that there are that many in Mime
sofa alone) and he also informs us
through his good paper that $4,000
10000 are to be expended for reforest-
alton each year. Now dearest "Opin-
ions" why not put two and two to-
gether and feed those 100000 hungry
children with that big sum of money,
thereby helping not only the child
rem but solving in large measure
the farmers problem as we'll. And
you can do another good turn for the
people of this state and the future
generation, by leaving the forests
alone for a SPELL They'll grow if
you protect them. You won't need
to replace anything, for nature has a
way of it's own.
Farewell sweet one, and please
"wake-up" once in a while anyway.
Won't you?
Sincerely,
GOTTLIEB VOGE.

1T IS DOLLARS AND CENTS

Most wars-if not all of them-are
caused by economic conditions, mat
ter of fighting for dollars and cents.
Recently the st. Paul Dispatch con-
tanned a good editorial on this SUBJ
ject which reads as follows:
Senator Shipstead struck at the
root of an internationally vital prob
lem when he urged Minnesota Lee
gionnaires, in annual convention this
week at Hibbing, to study the econo-
mic causes of war and labor, in so
far as they may, to remove them.
Economic conditions have been
the cause, if not the occasion, of many
wars of the past and there is no as
surance that future conflicts may
not result from economic causes. On
the contrary, the danger of war is
always present in some degree among
nations which feel that they have not
their just share of territory and OPP
portunities for development
'"The worlds population is multi
plying at a rapid rate. Particular
ly in Europe and in Asia the popula-
lions are increasing much more rap
idly than in the western hemisphere.
Many nations on these continents are
already crowded almost to capacity
and the question of their food supply
is becoming more and more serious.
Intensive farming and other means
of increasing the food supply are by
no means keeping pace with the in
crease in population. Such condi-
tions beget a not unnatural desire
for territorial expansion. 1t is easy,
under such circumstances, to provide
a pretext for war, with the real cause
rooted in the problem of self preser-
walton.
I'm attacking economic conditions
as a cause of war the American Lee
gion would have a big job on it's
hands. But, knowing from experience
what war is, it's members could turn
their efforts to no better account
than to labor, as best they can, to
solve by peaceable means a problem
that holds serious possibilities bear
ing on the future peace of the world"
