Monday, although prices were no bet
ter than steady, light receipts proving
the bolstering factor One car of fed
mediumweights reached S14.0O with
western rangers turning at $1,000 to
S1O75, bulk of all steers $3.50 to
$1,000. She stock sold largely at $500

1925, cutters $3.50 to s6.25 with bulls
from $3.50 to $500. Vealers showed a

A steady to 25c lower market ruled
in the hog division with lights and UNI

Pine County League Rep
reSentativeS DOwned
by 8 to 8 Score.
Winners Will Play Either
OSSeO or WatertOWn
Sunday.
Rain and Cool Weather
Hampers Players in
Their Game.

The baseball season is over as far
as the Pine County League is con-
cerned for its representative to the
district tournament was defeated yes
terday by Chisago Lakes by an to
score.
The game started off in earnest
with Chisago Lakes batsmen facing
Bobbie KoOnce on the mound for the
Moose Lakers and who quickly re-
tired the side with only a single to
show for the labors of his opponents.
Moose Lake Jared no better in their
turn at bat and the contest went into
the next round with M. Swanson get
ting a single for Chisago's margin of
profit in this frame. A. Swanson
started the ball to rolling for the
MOOsers when he sent grounder into
centertield to pave the way for his
score which Koonce was bound to
bring in with his hit. The score so
far, to 0 for Moose Lake.
The third inning was a REPETITION of
the first with only one hit chalked up
for Moose Lake, and the fourth was
space used in the scoring column.
But the fifth was to be the disastrous
one for the Pine county boys as three
hits were recorded for the southern
ers which Melted them four scores af-
ter all the walks were accounted for
and which left the score at the end of
the fifth, a to 1.
The sixth inning was almost as bad
as the fifth and really showed up
more sensational on paper, as the
third, fourth and fifth man to face
Mack Anderson who relieved Bobby
Koonce from his suffering the inning
before, hit a home run, double and
home run respectively. Moose Lake
in their turn at bat in, this inning
added aother score to the one they
already had, leaving the count to 2
against them. The remainder of the
game followed much in the same
manner as the first innings with only
one score being added to each side
of the sheet and with the Chisago
Lakers trying to hold their margin of
profit against the desperately fighting
boys from up north.
Rain hampered the movemets Of
the players during the greater part
of the game and had much to do with
the many errors which the box score
shows on each side.
By virtue of their win over Moose
Lake the Pine county champions, the
Chisago Lakes nine will play the
winner of the Minneapolis
and Minnesota Valley leagues Sunday
at Lindstrom, and the winner of this
contest will then play Isanti for the
regions title.
Moose Lake showed the same fight
ing qualities throughout the game
which had carried them through the
hectic campaign for the pennant in
the Pine County league and although
they were forced to bow in defeat be-
fore the picked team of the south, it
does not dim their honor. Bobby
Koonce and Mack Anderson, although
they suffered one bad inning each,
held the situation well in hand and

MOOSE LAKE NINE LOSES BIG
BALL GAME TO CHISACO LAKES
POLITICAL TALK
HAS STARTED
Farmer-LabOr Party Starts Ball
ROlling.-FIOyd Dixon Most Like
Iy to be Candidate, 1880.
BY ii. G.. Teigan.

The FarmerLabor conference held
in st. Paul on Thursday of last week
was a most successful gathering The
tatiOns and those present took their
obligations as party members serious
| ly. The conference was called to con-
slider ways and means for building up
the party's organization. There was
no intention on the part of @anyOne
to draft platform or endorse candi-
dates for next years campaign.
Frank T. Starkey, secretary of the
Farmer-Labor association, called the
conference to order. Now is the time
to make preparations for building up
our organization" he said. During
the campaign the minds of the voters
are more or less closed to argument
and propaganda.
Farmers and Workers Control Party.
THE FarmerLabor party is the
party of the farmers and the workers.
They do not belong to the party as do
those who vote either the Republican
or Democratic ticket The Farmer
Labor party belongs to the farmers
and the workers. Besides, our party
is so organized as to be the special
property of its members, who are for
the most part toilers either in agri-
culture or industry. The influence of
the Farmer-Labor party is wholly de-
pendent upon the size of the organi-
cation and the devotion of it's mem
bers to their own economic and po-
litical interests. trust that this
conference will devise ways and
means for building up the party to
a point that will make it victorious
in next years campaign"
Following Mr.. Starkey's introduce
tory address, the conference chose
Filing Munkeby of Duluth, as chair
man and j. A. Poirier of Minneapolis,
secretary Several members of the
conference spoke briefly on the pur-
pose of the conference and the excel
lent possibilities of capturing Mime
sofa at the 1880 election. A commit
tee of five was chosen to prepare a
program for the consideration of the
conference. The committee consisted
of VIM. Mahoney, st. Paul; r. c. Ar
mold, Sebeka; P. F. DeMore, Duluth;
N. A. Peterson. Milan; and F. A.
Scherf, Red Wing.
Adopt Plan of Action.
The committee worked out a plan
of action which was adopted by the
conference without a dissenting vote,
though not without good deal of dis
cussion. The plan embodied in the
committees report is that the secre-
tary's office communicate with af-
filiated organizations and individuals
regarding local conditions and secure
financial aid from such organizations
and individuals and also ask their
active cooperation in arranging meet
ings to be addressed by the party's
speakers. The report also contained

Hawaii Is Neutral
On Sugar Embargo

Hawaiian sugar interests are "neu-
trail on the Undertake bill in Con-
gress proposing restriction of sugar I'M
ports from the Philippines to 500,0 900
tons annually as measure of protec-
ton for domestic producers. The two
main reasons for the attitude Of Ha-
wall are: First, Hawaii is dependent
largely on the Philippines for its I'M
skilled labor, and secondly, Hawaiian
capital is heavily invested in Philippine
enterprises, principally those connected
with sugar production and manufacture
ing. Hence it would be considered both
ungracious and unbusinesslike for Ha-
wall to be party to restriction on q
promising Philippine industry. Many
Hawaiian sugar men have gone to the
Philippines and helped to build up the
industry and have helped to mold the
sentiment against Hawaiian opposition
to the Philippines on major measures.
At the same time Hawaii could hardly
take active part in urging mo limit"
on Philippine production. since it must
be recognized that the Philippines do
actively compete with Hawaii in the
domestic sugar market. This rather
anomalous situation has convinced is
land leaders here that it is best to take
no part in the campaign before Con-
gresS.

Pope's Literary Data
Valued by Scholars

Only q few scholars and intimate
friends are aware Of O most unusual
benefceuce of Pope Plus XII. During
his long years OF study in the libraries
OF the AmbroSiana at Milan and at the
Vatican, OF which he was project, Mgr
Achille Ratti, whom the world now
knows as Plus XI. collected valuable his
torical and literary material
AS the scholar studied the precious
manuscripts under his custody he made
extensive notes on the index cards.
which he carefully filed away When a
young student or even an older scholar
Oh friend disclosed an interest In a
given topic Mgr. Ratti would produce
from his overlooking files hitherto un-
known data, which he gave to his conf
dant with full permission to use in sci
entific and literary publica tons as
though it was the writer's own dis
covery.
When Achille Ratti came to the Vati-
can as Pope he brought his still album
dant collection of cards with him. From
time to time he turns material over to
his friends who publish learned articles.
the chief data OF which came from the
Pope, whose part is. of course, never
known. So rich il the collection that
those familiar with 1t believe 1t will
some day be studied and published by
some scholar less busy with ecclesiastical
affairs than Is the Pope.

Fishing i'm Honolulu
Water Is Held Risky

Hazards Of deep-sea fishing for the
great markets Of Honolulu are wildly
illustrated by the disappearance Of a
big japanese sampan, or fishing beat,
with a crew Of five men. AS this was
written the sampan was missing for sew
eral months. 1t had a 30-horsepower
Diesel engine and carried 200 gallons OF
water, 2,700 pounds Of ice and months
provisions when 1t put out to the far
fishing banks northwest Of Honolulu. All
but one aboard were Japanese. The
exception was Filipino who lived as a
Japanese and actually had adopted q
japanese name.
These sampans. extremely seaworthy,
90 500 to TOO miles out from Honolulu
to the fishing banks and often have ad-
ventures as thrilling as those of the
Gloucester men on the Grand Banks.
The Japanese fishermen are skilled,
hardy and enduring, and If the SAM
pan has survived the December gales,
1t may still be floating somewhere on
the ocean waves. More than one in
stance Is recorded of small fishing boats
drifting for months before they were
picked up. and tragedies of this sort are
not unknown to the brown fishermen
of the Hawaiian sampan fleets.

Relics Are Blamed
In Hawaiian Deaths

Uneasiness over deaths Of persons
closely connected with the territorial
Legislature. now in session, has led to
the removal from the hall where the
House Of Representatives meets of three
"k9hilis." or tail feather standards. pic.
t,ifesque relics Of monarchial DAYS In
Hawaii. Just before and up to date
in this session the following deaths have
occurred: A former Territorial Sena-
tor. the mother OF q Representative. the
wife Of . Representative and others
closely related to legislators.
While no legislator will admit 10 n
superstition that the presence Of q
black-feathered "kahili" was RESPONSE
BILE for the deaths, 1t is fact that COM
plants about the old-time standards
were made to the Speaker Of the House
and the custodian of the Capitol. They
thought it best to order out the kahilis
and relief has spread visibly over the
legislative membership. The Legislature
Is composed largely of those of Ha-
waiian blood. though 1t also numbers
good many whites one full-blooded Chi
nese and several of mixed blood The
objection to the presence Of the black
kahili was apparently that it had once
belonged 70 the late Queen Liliuokalani.

That principle Is largely dominant now.
but several steps need to be taken to
make 1t completely so. More and more
our consuls technical advisers and ply
sicians ought to broaden their investi-
cations in respect to the characters
and cultural backgrounds OF prospective
immigrants.
We ought to make sure that every
applicant is not only physically sound
and mentally alert, but also that he
comes of a line OF people Of strong
character and that his record for hon
esty, sobriety and industry assures his
wholesomeness and worth when he ul-
timately assumes the mantle of Ameri-
can citizenship.
Ought TO Show Preference
We ought also to give preference to
those few men. skilled In new industries
and new methods, who occasionally are
required to set i'll operation more and
greater opportunities for employment of
our people The need for those par
ticular men first should be definitely
established here and then. by certificate
OF the Secretary OF Labor they should
be allowed TO enter ahead OF some new
immigrant who would add nothing TO
our future or perhaps even be burden
to overcrowded industries. Along the
aside an allotment of a few quota num-
bers to be assigned by the Secretary of
Labor In cases Of extreme hardship
OF course. We still have the problem
of the non-quota aliens who may enter
In unrestricted numbers merely because
they were born in countries Of this
MISREPRESENTATION. the South and
Central American republics or Canada
immigration from these countries is as
great, approximately. as from all the
quota countries combined, and the
numbers may be increased
Aside from the problems which grow
ont of this lack of restriction. believe
that the suggestions which have made
in the previous paragraph would just
about cure all the apparent ills of the
restrictive policy as expressed in present
legislation.
OF course, a codification Of the va
riouS acts which make up the body OF
the laws would be helpful in making
them more understandable by the great
mass of the people. but We have now
reached point where only few finish
ing touches need be applied to make the
immigration laws meet the needs Of the
people of the United States. It is our
country and our problem, and any re-
vision of the laws, II made, should
be solely on the basis of what is best
for us. This is what term my "selec-
tive" policy toward immigration.
