U. S. TAKES FUR TRADE
 FROM GREAT BRITAIN

This generation has witnessed the ble-the quick shifting of financial supremacy from Great Brit ain to the United States. With that has come shifting of world centers of culture, of styles and display; and old world capitals, long jealous of their supreme leadership in art, are distressed by a movement across the Atlantic of their treasures If the ages.
 Is it doubted that supremacy in fashions is shifting to the United States? The question is answered by a statement by the department of commerce that the United States has assumed world leadership as a fur center, displacing London. Fur im- ports into the United States in 1927 exceeded those of the United King dom by more than $50,000,000 reach ing the grand total of more than $135, 100000.
 Fur imports a quarter of century ago were 15,O00,000 year, and in 1913 they had increased to only $24,- 1O2,O00.
 One hundred and fifteen years ago British enterprise was in competition with American enterprise in the fur trade at Spokane House. If the clerks and employees of John Jacob Aster's company had ventured the prediction that British supremacy in the fur trade of the world which had endured for centuries, would some day be lost to the United States, the British Northwesterner would have laughed them to scorn.

LENT

The Christian church has always recognized the fact that a certain part of each year should be set aside for special religious training. The ancient church used from the begin ming, the time preceding Easter, for this purpose. It was at first not a fixed time, but finally 40 days exclu- sive of Sundays was chosen.
 The evangelical alliance having broken away from the customs of the old church, set aside the first week in January as a Week of Prayer" This was a tremendous help but it has never succeeded the way it should. It was too near the good, jolly time of Christmas, and so there is a tendency even among the members of the evan gelical alliance to give up the Week of Prayer" and go back to the good old season of lent. It is the time pre- ceding the most glorious fact in his tory, the Resurrection, and what is more fitting than there should be special effort to prepare men to share in this resurrection. This year all over our country is it not specially necessary ?
 The Worlds Work in a recent ed itorial, sees the only menace to pros perity, in a general disposition to ex alt the making of immense sums of money, no matter how it's made, as the highest ambition of man. This is resulting in crazy stock gambling op- erations, and in graft and a com pounding with crime of all kinds which is alarming.
 Is this not only menacing prosper ity, but even danger to the peace of the country ? The only hope for something better is turning to God.
 The churches of Wrangell are uniting in their services, and the first one will be held Wednesday next at St. Philips church at 7:30 p. m. Dr. Diven will be the speaker.

! AS REGULAR AT Sd

for Job at Shortstop.
Pitchers Plentiful.
BY BRIAN BELL
Associated Press Sports Writer.


~ RADENToN. Fla. March IA
- The Boston Red Sox last in
the American League, but try
- ing to do better, have blasted
one base ball superstition-that
the rich become richer and the poor
get poorer. The Red Sox have more
players in camp than any club in
Florida.
Manager Bill Carrigan during the
course of two daily workouts looks at
more than two score earnest, perspir-
ing athletes in Boston uniforms. If
half of them are major league players
the manager will be very happy.
The red legs are we'll in the first
division In size. More than half the
members of the big squad will measure
feet. II inches or more. Billy Bayne,
who has been wsnderer upon the
face of the base ball earth. looks like
the batboy in this company of giants,
although he is feet, inches and scales
100 pounds.
Most Players Are Strangers.
What the new edition of the Red Sox
will be bale to achieve in base ball
way, remains to be seen, but the fact
that most OF the players are strangers
In Boston may be helpful. They have
not become stepped in losing ways.
Carrigan, or both. must have aroused
. touch Of jealousy in the ranks OF the
horse trading fraternity when they sent
Buddy Myer to play third base for
Washington and took five players in
exchange.
Bob Reeves, one of the quintet, seems
certain to become regular third base
man for the Sox. Grant ellis, q
shortstop, while he may not be able
to displace the veteran Wally Gerber
altogether, probably will share the as
signment with the former Brown and
Elliott Bigelow, who can hit, has only
to demonstrate an ability to throw to
get an outfield assignment.
The two pitchers in the transaction,
Milton CASTOR and Horace LiSenbee,
have not had SUFFICIENT opportunity to
qualify, but both have shown indica-
tons of returning to form, which was
lost last season.
Boys Get Plenty of Work.
Bill Carrigan is giving every candi-
date plenty of chances to work. He
brings half the squad out In the morn
ing and the ohter half in the after
fielding and hitting practice. There Is
fight for every position with no cleo
ton indicated until all the returns are
In.
At first base Phil Todt. an able per-
former, again viii serve, but Jerry
Standaert. from Memphis. has shown
something. Bill Regain should have an
advantage at second, but another Bill,
Narlsky from Mobile, has done well. A
pair Of Bohs, Reeves and Barrett. an
other former major Lacquer, are battling
and In addition to Gerber and ellis ct
short, Hal Rhyme, who seems q much
better player than when he was with
Pittsburgh, Is showing as much am
bition as any man in camp.
With IL outfielders roaming all over
the place for fly balls and grabbing a
bat as soon as one is dropped by q
hitter, the problem of getting five or six
permanent fixtures promises to be vex-
ing. Ira Flagstead, safe from attack,
Jack Rothrock, former infielder and one
