THE JOLLY MOOSERS

In the last weeks issue of the Moose
Lake Star Gazette, the editor of that
paper saw fit to take the American
editors to task for playing up the
achievement of "Rube" Walberg in the
last game of the Worlds series, say
ing that, "the Moose Lake baseball
team has a right smart little pitcher
in the person of Bobby koonce, and
be it said in all truth that these same
Pine county newspaper men have ev-
cry reason to know him too, for it was
Bobby that pitched the Moose Lakers
to victory in the Pine county league
this last season. He made a great
record on the team and we are all
behind him. But he didn't get the
publicity the RUDE did-not even a
small percentage of it,
Now right here we wish to say that
the little pitcher" in question was
mentioned in the news columns of the
American thirteen different times dur
ing the season, both in the general
writeups of the various games, in the
box.score (recording his achievement
both at bat and on the field) and in
the summary, showing his strikeouts,
ETC. Is this not publicity? Wouldn't
this cause a persons ability to be
known?
The American certainly is for Bobby
Koonce as it is for all the Moose Lake
players and all the other members
of the county teams and has been all
season, and stated in it's columns af-
ter the championship game with Chi
sage Lakes, that Bobby Koonce and
Mack Anderson were good enough to
pitch on any amateur baseball team.
Now coming back to the "Rube pub
licity." Whether our good friends and
brother editors to the north of us
know it or not, it has always been the
failing of the human race to be hero
worshippers." When president comes
along or Lindbergh, we all like to
push and crowd to be on the edge of
the path over which he is to pass.
Although "Rube" Walberg isn't a
president or Lindbergh he is never
theless Pine county's only represent
ative in the major leagues and we
venture to say and wish to challenge
the Moose Lake scribe to name one
single thing that drew the attention

than offsets the small financial OBJ
legation.
But we are probably drifting too far
away from the subject
Mr.. Shute says, 81 also hope we will
have no trouble in having our county
board work with us, as / think, if we
try to help ourselves in one way or
another, that they will also help"
Help ourselves" that is the big
thing Surely the board will be glad
to help where they can be of help. and
so will the American. In fact we
have attended number of those meet
ings in eastern Pine county the past
year or more and reported them. CIV
ing publicity to what was being aired.
1t has thus been called to the atten-
tion of folks all over the county, by
getting into newspaper with a
countrywide circulation. How many
other papers have taken that interest
in your affairs, we might ask Mr..
Shute? We would rather think it
should be appreciated instead of re-
stand one another yet.
When one farmer groaned at your
last meeting about so many folks be-
ing appointed to offices like game
wardens. fire wardens, boiler in
spectors and the like, and two of your
speakers who are the worst offenders
of appointing, accepting, or seeking
political jobs in Pine county, sat there
so innocently and listened. saying
nothing, we thought it was time to
call your attention to it for apparent
ly you were not aware of it. If you
want to follow the type that will agree
with you, slap you on your back, and
at the same time suck the public teat
privilege. If a man is predjudiced we
don't pretend-to be able to change
him.
That Mr.. Empey was at your meet
ing for the purpose of building up
sentiment for him to get a job as
delinquent tax collector of the county.
as we inferred two weeks ago, we still
maintain is correct, and it is furth-
er attested by the fact that after he
sent out circular letters asking people
to appear before the county commits
sioners to request the establishment
of such an office and for his appoint
ment to the job only three men APP
peared in his behalf. Two of those
men were from Wilma township and
one from Belden township.
The county board is to be COM
mended for turning down this prop
OsitiOn. AS before stated. Mr.. Empey
is an educated man, presents his argu-
ments well and is convincing to many,
but when the public expense is SO
high. which he talks so much about
then it is time that we use our heads
make use of the available officers
without creating more and WORK.

might follow? Tomorrow Moses or
Smoot might arise who would say, let

the champions of our sacred Eight

What if, forsoOth, "a Fess arise, who
would say that congress should sur

lay and collect taxes, to borrow on
the credit of the United States, to reg

armies, to provide and maintain a
navy, or any of the other numerous
powers delegated to it by the consti-
tuition, what, we ask, would those pa
triots who are today demanding the
flexible tariff clause, say about this?
Carry this principle to it's logical
conclusion and we would set UP a die
tatorship that would make MussOlini
pale into insignificance. We would
soon be ready for another Boston Tea
party. and our prOtestatiOns of a rep
resentative government would be but
a shallow boast.
Washington who was offered a

frowned upon the powers which our
super-patriots would today give to

WON'T EAT MORE
Mile Laos County Times)

In an editorial in the Farmer, Harry
N. Owen calls attention to the fall
lacy that increased wages in the big
industrial centers means more con-
sumption of farm products. He points
this out in connection with the pre-
tension of the eastern industrialiStS
that it is to the farmers interest to
have high tariffs for industry as the
higher wages paid would mean more
consumption of farm products Mr.
Owen says:
eff the farm leaders fall for this,
they will be "sO-called" indeed. If
there is a thoroughly exploded idea,
it is the one that the more a man has
to spend the more he will eat, yet it
dies hard. Researches of the Food
Institute of Sanford University show
that the American people are eating
less per capita than they did 80
years ago. During that period wages
have been continually advancing.
Common sense should teach one
that no one, millionaire or poor man,
eats more than satisfies his appetite
for the time being. True, if a man
is so poor that he cannot provide
enough food for himself and family,
so they are always hungry, an addi-
ton to his income will be spent for
more food, but only to the point of
satisfaction. Increase his income
further and he will buy more and
better clothes, another notch up he
will get better living quarters, an
other, he will buy an auto, radio and
other desirable things, but he will
not buy food "in ever increasing guam
titles"
"a false assumption seems to have
more lives than a cat. This is why |
call attention so frequently to the
fact that high industrial wages do
not increase food consumption. There
is always a chance that somebody will
help in puncturing this old fallacy.
Until it is cast into outer darkness
there can not be much progress made
in solving the agricultural problem

WHAT THEY THINK
Mile Laos County Times)

What the farmers of the seventh
district think of the Minnesota plan
of farm relief was demonstrated at
the special congressional election
there last week. The candidate that
advocated it, Jim Morrison, was sunk
without trace by majority of nearly
three to one. 1t is getting harder
for the old line politicians to fool the
Minnesota farmers.

CAUSE OF DEATH
Ten Counties Represented at Tubercu.
lOSiS Short Course at POkegama
SanatOrium.

AS the main cause of death be-
tween the ages of Is and As, tubercu
losis remains unchallenged, said DR..
H. l.. Taylor, of Pokegama Sanatori-
UNI, known as the father of tuberculo-
sis work in Minnesota, in speaking to
group of % physicians, attending a
short course in tuberculosis for ply
sicians at Pokegama SanatOrium,
Thursday, October "a. The subject of
DR.. Taylor's address was History of
tuberculosis"
Tuberculosis is not hereditary"
said DR.. F. l.. Jennings of the Medical
Staff, Glen Lake Sanatorium, Henne-
pin county institution, speaking next
on EARLY Diagnosis 1--WE call tu-
berculosis a family disease, however,
because it is so easily spread by the
close contact found in families. 1t
is almost impossible for a child to es-
cape getting the disease if either par
ent has it, unless the tuberculosis
member is Isolated
Ten counties were represented by
physicians registered for the short
course. They were Chisago, Kanabec
Kandiyohi, Pine, st. Louis, Carlton,
Mile Laos, Wright, Stearns, Sherburn.
Other physicians on the program in

Seal Sale Institute Held.
During the afternoon Seal Sale In
stitute at the high school at Pine City
from 800 to 500 p. m, DR.. E. A.
Meyerding, executive secretary, Min
nesota Public Health association,
spoke on christmas Seals at Work"
Illustrating his talk with various
charts, DR.. Meyerding pointed out that
the death rate in Minnesota during
the past twenty years had been cut
in half, due in large part to the edu-
cational program throughout the state.
Every county and every town, every
person in fact, who has bought Christ
mas Seals, has had a part in putting
across this program, he said, and
helping in making Minnesota the lead
ing state in facilities for treatment
and cure of tuberculosis.
Delegates from four counties, Pine,
Isanti, Chisago, and Kanabec, and
others interested in the Seal Safe at
tended the institute. Mrs. E. B. Lins-
ley of Willow River, president of the
Pine County Public Health associa-
tion, presided. Mrs. E. G. Perkins,
Pine City, gave the speech of well
come.
Pine cOunty'S per capita total is
in the upper half of the counties hav-
ing over $4,000 population. This means
the total sale of Christmas Seals in
Pine county was equal to over 415c
per person. Among the counties hav-
ing a population below $4,000 Isanti

RELATED PATMENT

The seventeen congress in its dying hour did
deed that should do much to overcome many of its
shortcomings, though far as Imperial Valley is con-
cerned the particular congress had no shortcomings,
in view Of its passing the Swing-J Johnson bill.
Just before adjourning, congress passed the bill
providing for visits to American cemeteries in Europe
by the mothers of American soldiers sailors and
ines who are buried there.
This is the very least government given to boast
ing that its glorious dead will be forgotten,
could do. These mothers gave their all to their
try gave their loved ones cheerfully and Loyalty
nizing that the nations call is the highest call of ALL
They richly entitled to the comforting privilege
of standing at the graves of their loved ones drop
tear on their final resting place and whisper prayer
for them. Many of these mothers unable to
sumo the Of such journey and in many this
inability is directly due to the fact that the boys whom
they sent away failed to back. The cost of send
ing them to Europe at the nations expense is trivial
compared to what the nation owes them and the hap
piness it will bring to them.
The passage Of ten years has made many of US
forget the debt we to Gold Star Mothers. The
nation has been long tine remembering them and
that the bill has become law the most painstakng
effort should be made to see that each mother who
wishes to do receives the benefit of the law and that
everything possible is done for their comfort and
venience while the nation is hOrored by having them

SITTING ON A TOLCANO

Indications are that the Mexican revolution may
be brought very close to Imperial Valley if the rebels
carry out their threat to advance MeXcal and other
Baja California points.
With the numerous rumors flying about relative to
the activities Of the rebels and the troops remaining
loyal to the established government it is difficult to
predict just what may happen.
But it may be conceded that the likelihood of
fight for MeXcali exists. 1t is equally likely that
attempt to take the town might result in siege. If
this developed what would bring those defending the
town into submission quicker than shutting off the
water supply? This could be done by selling the main
canal carrying water to MeXcaE and also to Imperial
Valley. The canal entirely through Mexico
and it would be impossible for the United States to
defend it.
This may all be con lecture but it could happen. If
it did, where would Imperial Valley be?
We have ued ourselves along for years with the
idea that any trouble for Imperial Valley originating
on the other side of the line is very remote
Normally it is. The best of relations have always
existed between Imperial Valley and the government
in power on the other side of the line
But when set out to destroy the established
order of things they do many acts that does not
expect them do under different circumstances. The
rebel chieftains might personally wish to do nothing
to the enmity of the people this side of the
boundary, but if it to showdown they would
do just what anyone would do in their position
assert that the end justfies the and go ahead
Having our water supply at the mercy of for
egn country however friendly it may be- is risky bus
ness. The present situation offers splendid argu-
nlent for the necessity of the allAmerican canal Our
of water belongs entirely this side of the
line, where can always protect it.
