MINNESOTAN CANOES MISSISSIPPI'S LENGTH

MANKATO, Minn., July D. Navigation of the Father of Wa ters by caroe from it's marrow headwaters in northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico is the feat Of a local sportsman which is be. lieved to be unparalleled by any white man.
 The achievement of Harvey L. Andersen outdoes those of the early explorers and Jesui. fath. CTS who mounted the river by canoe from New Orleans. Few of them went beyond St. Paul and none reached the locality where the Mississippi river is narrow enough to jump across.
 Long before the coming of the white man some adventurous Sioux may have threaded tho tortuously curying brook m that piney northern wilderness and de. seconded in his birchbark down to the broader reaches of the mighty stream even as far as New Or leans.
 He padded the distance of more than 2000 miles from St. Paul<to New Orleans in 1922 in an ordl- nary 17-foot canoe. Recently he covered the rest of the journey from the source of the river in a canoe race to Minneapolis in

New York, June. Although all most every woman distrusts her hus- bands loyalty at times, not more than one out of every five married men actually break their marriage VOWS, in the opinion of Dr. Louis E. Bisch, one 'of the country's foremost neuro- psychiatrists.
 sDr. Bisch, whose work as govern ment specialist and at New York Polyclinic hospital has brought him the condolences of thousands of men, believes that much domestic discord can be traced to unwarranted suspi- ci0ns on the part of wives who reason that since all women strive to attract men it is impossible for lone man to remain constant to single wife.
 Tn an article written for the July Issue of Smart Set magazine and ad- dressed to wives, he declares:
 "The number of men who do not give way to their emotions, who hold themselves in check and remain loyal and steadfast is-in view of the opin- ion held of men by most women almost unbelievable. Few men marry who do not take the love, honor and cherish seriously.
 Many Fight Down Temptation
 Cocretlv and nerhans subconsciol1s- ly, women become suspicious of their husbands fidelity when they consider now effective were their own wiles in winning the men they love, he ayers. Since their own charms proved suffi- cient and since they know that all of their sex endeavor constantly to ap- pear attractive to men, it is logical for them to believe their mates can be attracted by others, particularly after the first fervor of love has passed. he points out.

THE THIRD GAME

Sunday, the 26th, the game Of decision. Determination written plainly on the face of every localite. The contest breezed warm from the beginning. Ketchikans close check ing didn't greatly retard the tactics of the locals. The first half gave a tie score. Victory had to be won or,. lost-in the next few minutes.
 There was shadow of doubt in the actions of the First City team when the. last half started. So far as the score stood they had an even break, but it was evident that mis- givlngs had intervened. There was speed and action enough and, seem- ingly, a firm desire to pull out a victory. Game ended with Ketchi. kan tailing. Score, Ketchikan, 10- Petersburg 13. Coach Aimes was

A BAD CUT

John Joseph was brought in to town Sunday morningI by Charles Williams on the. Sea Rose from Rake. Joseph; trapbi4g down in the Point Barrie region, was split ting fire wood at his trapping camp last Saturday. His ax was sharp and he was striking heavily. He missed and the ax struck lengthwfse on the back of his left hand and all that held the thumb on was a mite of skin on the palm. 'It-the thumb-was so nearly severed that there was some doubt about letting it hang while the voyage was made from Barrie to Petersburg. Six teen stitches were put in the cut by Dr. Standard and Joseph is .walK- ing around feeling quite comfortable considering the slash. Unless there are complications, the wound will heal rapidly and the thumb, which came near being cast aside, will bg as useful as ever again.

HOT SHOT FROM WHEELER

Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana recently visited the coal camps in western Pennsylvania. This IIs what he said after the visit. (! have been familiar with indus trial strife. for 25 years. For 22 of those years F: have called mining camps my home. Yet never, in all my experience, have I seen anything to approach the horror of the situ ation in Pennsyivanfasi, (Where the coal miners strike is, anh3 has been for some.s 5time.) Everywhere I found littlsseHiadren suffering for want of milk. The American Le- zion helped them while the Red Cross refused to move. In China, last year, when I visited the slums of Canton and other cities, I thought they were the best breeding grounds for Bolshevism l had ever seen. Now I have changed my mind. The most fertile field for anarchy is out on the hills of Pennsylvania. An drew w. Mellon could settle this strike in 24 hours. It seems incon- ceivable to me that this Secretary of the Treasury, with all his mil limos, should refuse to relieve the horrible misery and suffering which I found so abundant right in his own back yard"
 Both Hon. John J. Casey, ol Pennsylvania and the Hon. F. H La Guardia, of New York, congressman, laid the responsibility for the indus trial war sQuarely on the doorstep of Andrew w. Melons corporation, the Pittsburg Coal Company.
 And this same Mellon would like
 
 to be the next president of the Unit ed States.
 Congressman Casey also made mention of the Red Cross and said that 'The Great Mother" had re- fused to do anything in the starva- tion region nor to lift hand to aid the sick children.

A Gleeful Welcome

When the victorius Hi-SQuad re- turned home last Sunday night they ran into warm welcome. They had pulled off the unexpected. No less surprised was the teams opponents -Ketchikan-and Juneau, whiccn was lying back to play with the win ner. The sporting fraternity, on Tuesday eve rendered a banquet to the young knights of the hoop at the Tate hotel.
 There was fine chicken dinner. James Wheeler WIS toastmaster and the affair rolled merrily along along. There were little speeches. of cheer and advice and the possibilities of Harold Runstead was presented with diamond (dime and) pin. Harold you know, is the captain of the To- cal ball pushers and he took this little joke with becoming grace.
 Wheeler called upon Bowman Conrad Bowman, principal of the Petersburg schools-for a little talk. He urged, among other things, the play off with Juneau to be on neutral ground. Juneau had al ready wired Ketchikan think-and feeling sure that Ketchikan had walked off with the persimmons, that she would stage the finals at Petersburg or Wrangell Later, when the capitol aggregation was wised to the Petersburg victory, it didn't care to travel and requested that het deciding games be played where it lived-at Juneau. Both the local players and the fans firm ly held to the play-off on neutral territory. Boat schedules Were very favorable, going and coming, for Juneau to come to Wrangell, which she was willing enough to do until she found out that Petersburg Hi was the victor. AS this is written word comes that the capitols play CTS insist on the coming games at Juneau. We rise to inquire what kind of sports are these Juneauites? Who has something, outside of Ju. neau, to say about this matter of location? That we shall play on neutral territory is fair and just and as we were winners in the re- cent Petersburg-Ketchi set-to, wa
