STOCKS FLUCTUATE
IN QUIET TRADING
Struggle for Control of Price
Movement Is Apparent on
Exchange.
3y the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, December 15-Violent
fluctuations in the high-priced special
ties again featured the mixed price
movement in today's stock market. The
general list showed alternate periods of
weakness and strength, rejecting, in
some measure, the usual week end re-
adjustment of speculative accounts and
the struggle of opposing speculative
forces for control of the price move
ment. Trading was only mode<ate in
volume, indicating an absence of any
widespread public participation.
Airplane shares were buoyant, Wright
and Curtiss each soaring about IL
points. Despite reports that the Ra-
dio Corporation-V Victor Talking Machine
merger was nearing completion, the
stocks fluctuated in an erratic manner.
Radio advanced 2 points to 352, broke
to 335, rallied to 348la and dropped
back to 342. Victor Talking Machine
advanced points to 144l Y. slipped back
to 1872 and then bobbed up and down
dropped from an early high of 1914 to
l84h, and international Nickel dropped
from its record high price of 258l2 to
248.
Greene Cananea Copper sold off
nearly points after yesterdays
brisk advance, but scale buying was
noted in the other coppers on recur-
rent rumors of a further advance in
red metal prices within the next month.
st. Joseph's Lead advanced 312 points
to new high at Sc.
Pittsburgh Terminal Coal and Pitts
burgh Coal advanced and 6i2 points,
respectively, to new highs. Johns-Man-
vile, Liquid Carbonic, Sears -Roebuck,

score or SO issues to sell down 2 to
3 points. United States Steel drop

CHINESE WIDOWS WIN
RIGHT TO WED AGAIN
Nationalist Government Frowns on
Many Acts of Ancient
Superstition.

PEKING (P)-Young widows are
being encouraged to marry again by the
authorities.
In the old days when the Son of
Heaven sat on his dragon throne widows
were rewarded for their vows of celibacy
by seeing their names in stone tablets
sanctioned by the Emperor. That is
entirely too old fashioned to suit the
young Chinese of today.
Acts of filial piety verging on super
Stition and foolishness, such as the
cutting of a piece of Cne's own flesh for
medicinal concoction, in the hope of
curing the sickness of parent, will
not earn the commendation of the Ma
tionalist regime by any means, such
practices being classed as unworthy of
the people along with the ancient Gus
tom by which young widows refused to
remarry.
Neither will the acts of girls declin-
ing to marry after the death of their
fiances be regarded as commendable
virtues, all of which has been set forth
in a draft of regulations governing
awards and official commendation of
meritorious services submitted to the
Nationalist Government Council by the
ministry of the interior.

CHARM OF MUSIC

The value of band to a COM
munity is shown by the number
of towns over the state that are
passing a one-mill tax law to
support these organizations. The
satisfaction Saturday night Wis
itors and shoppers derive from
listening to band concert makes
the expenditure well-merited
one.-Dassel Dispatch.
None with a soul so dead as he who
fails to respond to the music that
flows from the band stand in the
park. To the tired soul it revives and
and brings back memories
of youth. Listen to the band and see
the circus, the parade of all nations
the procession of equestriennes and
the Cossacks, the triumphal entry OF
the elephants and the menagerie OF
wild animals. Get along without a
band concert. Why, gentlemen, it is
as unthinkable as it is un-American

THE WATERWAY ISSUE IN
CANADA

Canada's hesitancy in going ahead
with the st. Lawrence waterway is
due chiefly to the fact that the pro-
ject' is about the only thing which can
upset the Mackenzie King government
1t so happens that the two elements
of the Liberal party, the support of
which is absolutely essential to w.
L. Mackenzie Kings working major
ity, are Numerically opposed to each
other on the question of the st. Law
renee The province of Quebec, which
gives Mr.. King 81 out of its IS votes
in Parliament, is the stronghold of the
private power interests and is there
fore bitterly opposed to the govern
ment ownership phase of the proposal.
Middle-western Canada takes exact
ly the opposite view. For it the st.
Lawrence means a cheap route to
Europe for it's gigantic grain crop.
The middle West also sends a farm
bloc to Parliament which gives Mr..
King his working majority. This
bloc holds the balance of power. Even
more eager for the completion of the
st. Lawrence project than the farm
bloc is the province of Ontario. 1t
happens to be the stronghold of Mr..
Kings political enemies-the Con-

MOTHERS DAY

Next Sunday is Mothers Day, and
while most of us need not be reminded
of our duties to our mothers, there
are, nevertheless, some persons who,
in the. hustle and hustle of this life
are wont to neglect that gray-haired
lady who brought you into this world;
that friend of all friends"
1t is highly fitting that one day be
set aside to do honor to these wonder
full women-these mothers. One need
not endow his mother with costly
presents or anything of the sort. If
she is living away from you, two
cent stamp and some writing material
is all one needs to make her heart
glad; just write a letter to her
cheer her up. Some do nice little
things for their mothers every day;
to these we would suggest some little
act out of the everyday routine. If
your mother is not living, then it
would Tighten your heart to set aside
a part of the day to do homage to
her; to contemplate all that she has
meant to you; all that her memory
still means, her teachings, her love
for you, and all.
But, no matter what the case or cir
cumstanceS may be, remember your
mother this Sunday, then resolve to
do it frequently throughout the year,
not just on Mothers Day, for that
should be every day.

JUST PLAIN BUNK

Talk in some quarters of the need
of new political party, is just plain,
unauthorized bunk.
We've got plenty of them now-such
as they are-without starting any
more. What is needed, though, and
needed badly, is thorough and last
ing housekeeping in the parties we
now have, and the time for that
cleanup is right at hand.
The parties" now in existence are
all right fundamentally. It's not the
parties that are wrong; it's some of
the persons in them, who make them
wrong, and unless they can be elimin-
ated from the public eye, then there'd
be nothing to gain from another party,
for no matter what new-fangled label
it might operate under, it wouldn't
make a particle of difference. Garlic
would taste the same by any other
name.
So, let's fumigate the parties we
now have, for certainly of we didn't,
and new party were started, the
stencil from the old ones would
permeate the ranks of the new, until
all would smell the same.

the axemen would swear in their re-
peated efforts to chop brand in such
logs. Don't cuss,' the chief marker
would say, those hard logs are al
ways the best timber
And so it is with men-those the
political bosses can't put their brand
on are the ones who are generally
on the peoples side. The people do
not need to brand their men, since
they do not buy them as the lumber
men purchase their timber, or the
party bosses their candidates.
mo man should be so tied to his
party that he is willing to stay with
it through thick and thin. Any man
who does this is a slave and not a
free man; and wherever this hap
pens the party becomes rotten
1.-THE poorest recommendation any
man can give me when he asks for
my vote is to admit that he has al
ways been a party slave; on the
other hand, the best recommendation
he can give is that he has been able
to tell the difference between party
and cause-and that he has always
placed cause before party."-Mille

PLAY BALL

Now that the boys of Askov, and
other Pine county towns have formed
a countrywide baseball organization, it
remains for the residents of these
communities to give the teams their
fullest support.
Without support, the players, who
receive virtually nothing outside of a.
lot of fun-yes, and hard work, too
invariably lose pep, and eventually Gf
not sooner) enthusiasm is all gone
and the team is disbanded.
Let's not let this occur in Pine
county. We want a good baseball
league here, but the only way one can
be had is to give it support. Turn
out to every game if it is physically
possible to do so, for there are COM
paratively few things that can go as
far as baseball toward putting a town
ION the map
The American sincerely wishes a
successful season for every team in
the league, but naturally, would like
to have Askov come out with the
long end of the score.
To the sponsors of the league-and
interchangeable and best
wishes.

political friends of the president be-
trayed his trust, brought his admin
istration into disrepute and fastened
his death. The ensuing scandals of
that administration are still being
talked about.
Such things as that are what the
people must guard against during the
present campaign. They must be
eternally vigilant against political
compromise and machine politics. If
the voters have learned anything from
past experiences they will know that
the procedure is ito spend large sums
in building up so-called "favorite son"
candidates which have no popular
support.
Then at the convention a compro-
mise is effected which usually results
in the nomination of pliable party
tool, a man who is a good politician
because he is without force to assert
himself and is willing to take his in
structions from the party politicians.
That is what Republican voters
must guard against now. At the ma
tional convention in June it is not
probable that any of the favorite sons
now in the limelight will be NOM
mated. 1t will be either Hoover, the
popular choice of the people, or a dark
horse now being groomed by the poll
ticians, to be kept in the closet until
the psychological moment arrives.
The politicians do not want Mr..
=.
has shown that he can do his own
thinking and manage his own affairs
without outside interference. There
fore they may try to produce a dead
lock to keep Mr.. Hoover from being
nominated in the early balloting, and
then bring out their compromise can
didate.
Republican politicians, however,
must be careful even for their well
fare, that they do not go too far. If
the Democrats nominate AL Smith;
and it is probable that they will, they
will have standard-bearer who is a
vote-g etter and who will prove no
easy opponent to defeat.
The Republican party will need a
candidate who is popular with the
people. If the politicians succeed in
nominating an unknown or unpopular
candidate, he may be defeated and
then they would be all out of luck

TREE PLANTING

You will notice that the substantial,
the thrifty, the worthy, and the like
able classes of people plant trees, no
matter whether they are in a new and
treeless country or in one already
well planted; and that the shiftless,
the transient, the careless, and the
selfish are as little likely to set out
sheltering trees as they are to be
neat, thrifty or good neighbors.
Show me developed town with no
trees and will show you a town to
avoid as home for your families.
Go through districts where want and
squalor and crime and filth are the
rule and you will be lucky to find even
gaunt specimen of a tree anywhere
about. This is not by chance; the
planted and tended tree is as sure a
sign of civilization as revered flag
or a church spire or school house
belfry.-Luther Burbank.

THE PARTY LABEL

Knud Wefald, former congressman
of the Ninth district, and a candidate
for reelection, is credited with this
statement:
1.-The Greatness of any man is not
that he can keep his place in the
ranks, but that he has the courage to
step out of the line when the party
starts to go wrong. The one who
dares to stand alone, when all the
others refuse to take the right road,
is just the man to look after the
peoples interests. 1t is not enjoy
able and lucrative to stand alone, but
it makes for a good conscience; and
then, too, these men who stand alone
make the public aware of the fact
that there is something wrong with
the crowd, which often travels-like
flock of sheep-wherever the
herdsmen may direct.
when l was a boy in Norway and
went out with the men engaged in
branding my fathers timber, MOTTO
ed that some logs were soft and
easily marked; others were hard, and
