Sounds Good, But

S an experiment Faribault county township
u game club has proposed that the farmers
ganize and contract with them to allow hunting
privileges. The farmer would be paid fifty cents for
each pheasant shot his land and other considera-
lions.
The idea that farmer should receive pay for
pheasants killed because his grain that feeds them
is something and appeals to farmers. But the
farmer better think twice before considering such
scheme 1t has several Objectionable features to both
the farmer and ordinary sportsman.
In signing contract of this nature the farmer is
making the first step, unknowngly of contributing to
exclusive hunting. Theoretically the scheme reads
ne but there is this to consider that group of rich
city sportsmen can avail themselves Of such a plan
of acquiring exclusive hunting rights to the detriment
of the sport.
There the uncertainty that the farmer and other
hunters may find himself without hunting rights, it
having passed out of his control by the sigma
ture to scant read contract, and stipulation to
fees. Then the city sport with the bank roll would
stroll into the baryard of fed pheasant cocks and
blaze away with his blunderbus. craftsmanship Ell?
Many farmers who complain of the destructiveness
of pheasants would just as rid the country Of this
game bird Pheasants generally worst around
planting time and when it is in the sprouting
stage because of the lack of feed Where barley is
strewn about the corn is not touched they not
particularly fond of corn.
If any kind of game club or civic organization
would want to do something with their money they
might consider constructive piece of effort buying bar
lev and strewing about in sections where the pleas
ants are generally most numerous during plant
ing time Thus they would contribute in small meas
ure to the feeding Of this game bird
Equal privileges to everyone, and special rights to
none without the encumbrance of further restrictions
is the wiser plan it would seem.

Curiosity Piqued by a Name

TACK in 1917 Ed. o. Peterson had in his employ a
X ragged and torn farm hand who, in his spare
- time, would walk to town to get books from the
Candy library. He just hired man, but still he
must have made definite impression on two boys at
that time for in studying text book social science
in Candy high school, the two youths noticed that the
author bore the familiar of Thames Ross Will
hanson
Upon questioning their parents it recalled
that this the of the hired back in 1917,
and his curiosity aroused of the boys wrote let
the author asking the publisher to forward it
to him. Recently reply came back from Rome, Italy,
from Mr. williamson in which he admits that he is the
'hred man."
Thames Ross Williamson is not only noted
author but also versatile linguis master of seven
languages His text book is complete study of econ
omics, sociology and civics His newest book, though
not text book is story for boys and girls called
the "Flood Fighters" and is tale of the Mississippi
in flood times with it's setting at Bemid, Minnesota.
Who knows, this "hred man. may have been down
and out and in utter detection sought escape from the
world by working on farm. Or he may have had the
curiosity of the in search for first hand material
for his study social science, civic and economics.
More likely it of the genius before he had
found himself, struggling in obscurity, enthusiastically
minded, and hungry for intellectual enlightenment.

would have withdrawn their troops of
occupation within the South Man
churian railway zone Inquiry on the
spot by representatives of the United
States, Great Britain, Germany and
France, acting independently, shows
clearly that not only this has not been
done, but that, the forces Of occupation
apparently have been strengthened and
raids and bombings are almost q daily
occurrence.
In addition to this, Japan late yester-
day introduced an entirely new element
into the situation. AS nearly as can be
understood. the japanese position is
that the troops will not be withdrawn
unless China first agrees in direct nego-
tiations with Japan to three funda-
mental principles" Chinese diplomats
in Toxic seem to have tried yesterday
to ascertain what these principles are
Japan seems to have answered that
1t will disclose them only after China
formally agrees to negotiate. In
| quiries made here privately in Jap
anese circles regarding the nature OF
these principles, have been met merely
by the reply that they cannot yet be
| disclosed. but that Japan's feeling is
that the whole question of Sino-Jap-
anese relations must now be raised and
that this question would be much too
big and complicated for the League of
Nations or other outside parties and
that therefore China should be en-
| couraged to enter Immediately into di-
rect negotiations with Japan.
May Ask For Inquiry.
The question now is. what can the
League Of the United States, acting
Jointly. actually do? To the present,
the Council has been celebrating I'M
der Article II of the League covenant,
according to the spirit OF which medi-
alton with full consent of both parties
to dispute is the appropriate method.
Japan can and probably will be re-
quested once more to cease its mill
tary operations, like bombing and raid
ing in the occupied territory. and to
withdraw its troops as quickly as pos
sible from this territory into the rail-
way zone. where nobody contests ia
pans rights. and to authorize the
League of Nations to send a neutral
inquiry commission to the spot.
In the September negotiations the
sending of such a commission was re-
fused by Japan and was advised against
by the United States.
One of the first questions to be an
swered is likely to be whether the
United States has changed its mind
on this point. If Japan agrees to these
or similar terms the Council can again
adjourn and await events If. how
ever Japan refuses, the whole issue of
sanctions will arise such as a partial
rupture of diplomatic relations and a
partial economic boycott
Meanwhile no pains will be spared
to avoid taking such strong measures.
On the other hand. it Is the life of
the League itself which is threatened.
if it reveals itself unable to cope with
this situation
