well as for physical training; it was,
without doubt, the strongest factor in
social unification of the people of that
nationality and the most important
in the development of Czech history.
DR.. j. Gregr, DR.. E. Gregr, Tonner
and Fugner were associated with Tyrs
in the organization of the Sokols.
Fugner was the first president. Ma
turally, the way, at the beginning,
was stormy. These leaders were op-
posed to Hapsburg forces and before
they had fully learned methods of
evasion and subterfuge, they expert
enced alternating periods of advances
and reverses.
In the publication of 1.-The Sokol,''
magazine connected with the or
ganization, DR.. Tyrs stressed the need
of correlation of physical and moral
training, as he said for the general
improvement of the nation, to give it
strength, valor and keen defensive
power" This ideal carried the So
ciety forward and in 1889, the Ceska
Obec Sokolska, the national organi-
cation was completed and the interna-
tional movement gained impetus.
From that time on, the organiza-
ton has grown steadily and today
there are over $500 Sokol chapters
in 81 countries with members by the
hundreds of thousands.
The first Sokol society to be organ
lied in the United States was formed
| in Chicago as the Bohemian Gym
nastic Union in the United States. 1t
was never at any time a group loyal
to the mother country and mother
tongue at the expense of loyalty to the
place of residence. Rather, the faith
and allegiance were given entirely to
the land of adoption in the light of
the old traditions and culture. The
very constitution required THAT ev-
cry member must be or must become
citizen of the United States"
The St Paul Sokol was formed short
lacked equipment, teachers and finan-
ces, and progress of course was slow
and difficult. The classes, as we'll as
the activities, were very limited and
the Sokol Ziska, named after the fam
Gus HUSTLE general, John Ziska, dis
banded in 1890. For several years
thereafter, the interest in the move
ment was at a standstill until the new
Czech arrivals from the eastern cities
revived interest and the Czech-Amer-
lean Sokol of st. Paul was created.

Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Jensen and
son, Emil, spent Tuesday in the Twin
Cities, visiting relatives and friends.
While helping ALI Berg to shingle
hay barn, Paul Marquet and son
had the misfortune to fall off the
roof. Mr.. Marquet was considerably
bruised and his son was hurt internal
ly. The doctor was called and fixed
them up and from last reports they
were doing nicely.
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Nelson and
daughter were Sunday evening callers
at the G. E. Grayson home.
Miss Ruth Swenson left Sunday for
ST. Cloud, where she will enroll in
teaching the past two winters and has
g school for the coming fall.
The Rev. A. PaulsOn and family
went overland to Virginia, where they
will attend a conference and also
spend some of their time sightseeing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Latourelle, Mr..
and Mrs. Buche, and son, Bob and
wife, left Monday for Duluth and a
sightseeing trip through the Iron
Range. They also figure on going to
the Canadian border and will be away
about two weeks.
The Grasston Male chorus was
called to Brainerd Saturday, where
they met with a number of other sing
ers and enjoyed each others company
in singing sociable way. The Gras-
stOn chorus is under the leadership
of A. T. Westrom and are well known
for their ability to sing.
Mrs. Otto Pangerl and children were
Sunday callers at the Bonnie Stigen

Bonnie Anderson who has been en-

and they realized large some of

Sokol Kolarik, initiated and popu-
larized physical training activities.
Dramatics and singing were added to
the schedule. That first Minnesota
unit, by the way, became nationally
famous; it even attracted the atten-
ton of and was complimented by T.
G. Masaryk, now president of Czecho-
slovakia, and DR.. Rusis-Jicinsky, in
ternationally prominent in Sokol
work.
The Sokol movement fast spread
throughout the Northwest. In 1908 a
unit was formed at Owatonna; shortly
thereafter, at New Prague and again
in Minneapolis. In 1915, the District
of Minnesota Sokols was founded and
the various chapters co-ordinated, for
the first time, as part of the whole.
Though the World war tended to
hold back progress, it proved the
value of the Sokol movement for many
of the Sokols of the Northwest and
throughout the United States respond
ed to call to arms. Long before our
country formally entered the war,
many of the members enlisted with
the Canadian forces; others FASTENED
to join under our flag later and espe-
cially when CZechoslovakia had as
serted its independence. They gloried
in the opportunity of helping avenge
the wrongs their people had suffered
at the hands of oppression; but, better
yet, they were fighting for their CEN
turies-old ideals of social, political
and cultural freedom.
The present motive for the Sokol
is general cultural enlightenment and
individual physical betterment The
organization has grown, is growing
and will continue to grow. There is
an energetic chapter at Pine City, an
other at Denham, both of which are
doing their full share to improve
the individual members, the chapters
and, as a natural result, the whole
community. Czech culture is kept
intact and enhanced in the light of
American practices.
A festival of the Northwest Sokols
will be held at the State Fair Grounds
on June %, 1880. All the Northwest
chapters of the association will be
represented. About 800 will partici-
pate.

M0UeS Up to
Face Rebels
Federal Troops March to
Attack, Supported by
Cruisers.
BY GEORGE MAYER
United Press staff Correspondent

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Oct. 6.
Revolutionary forces from the
Brazilian state of Rio Grande Do
Sui were reported entering the state
of Santa Catharina today to lead a
northward march into Parana state,
en- route to Sac Paulo and Rio De
Janeiro.
Strong federal troops were sent
against them and a federal attack
by Cruisers from Rio De Janeiro
was anticipated. Rebel preparations
were rushed at Porto Allegro, cap
ital of Rio Grande Do Sui.
The rebels claimed to have con-
troll in the states of Rio Grande Do
Sui, Santa Catharina, Parana,
Minas Geraes, Matte Crosse and
Pernambuco.
The revolutioniStS were continu-
ing their attempts to recruit reServ-
list officers in the southern region,
advices from Reverb said. The state
forces of Rio Grande Do Sui, which
joined the revolt, will total about
10000 men when recruiting is COM
pleted, the rebel leaders said. Some
elements of the federal army were
reported to have joined them, but
reliable advices contradicted these
rebel claims and said the army re-
manned loyal.
Several thousand federal troops
we're sent southwark on the cruisers
which are expected to counter at
tack at Porto Allegro and possibly
at the city of Rio Grande Do Sui,
south of Porto Allegro.

LEGION ASKED
BY HOOVER TO
UPHOLD LAWS
EvadeS Rum Issue by Name
but Cites Necessity of
Citizenship Example.
1Y PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent

BOSTON, Oct. ga plea for law
observance was delivered to the
American Legion convention here
today by President Hoover.
Throughout his speech to the
World war veterans, he stressed the
necessity Of good citizenship, not
only by respect for the law but by
using the ballot to preserve Amer1-
can institutions and ideals, driving
out unworthy public officials.
Without mentioning prohibition
by name he told the Legionnaires
no man dares to call himself a
faithful American and suggest any
disrespect for law.
Assuring them that the peace Of
the nation never was more secure
and that the government is provid-
ing a 100000 900 annual outlay for
all veterans, the chief executive told
them that his sworn duty to en-
force laws also is their obligation.
He urged theem as citizens to go
back home and preach respect for
law, by word and action.
Need the Teaching
I'VE need the teaching that the
foundation of government is respect
for law" he said. "a quickened in
terest on the part of the community
can insist upon proper enforcement
of law, can arouse public opinion
while any condition of laWlessness
remains unchecked in that COM
munity."
1.-The first high purpose you ex-
press" he said, "is to uphold and
defend the Constitution and to
maintain law and order in the
United States. Happily your ideal
is my first and most sacred duty.
AS in his Cleveland speech last
week, the President pledged himself
to the idea of aboiShing poverty.
Hailing the Kellogg peace pact
and the London naval agreement as
two momentous victories on the
path to peace" he declared more
is necessary.
ReSpecty Good viii One
I'm the great intangibles of human
emotion, respect is inseparable from
good will. The maintenance of
respect requires that we sustain a
preparedness for defense that is i'm
pregnable yet that contains no
threat of aggression.
discusses Legislation
Reminiscent of his successful fight
with congress, against the original
war veterans disability bill at the
last session, the President spoke of
what the government is now doing
under substitute legislation he in
dorsed for the veterans.
Care of 100000 World war vet
Grams is being provided, he said. But
the veterans should have care that
'the demands upon the government
should not exceed the measure that
justice, requires and self help can
provide" he added.

1T was Gelbert's triple in the
L third inning-the first hit off
Grove-which enabled the Cards
to tie the score. He also drove
in one of the other two st. Louis
runs.
