Joint Meetings Being
Arranged for Rotary.

DR.. George T. Ayres had charge of
the program at Wednesdays meeting

was in honor of Memorial Day. In
opening the program DR.. Ayres spoke

eight members of the Ely Club have
some connection with that war through
their families. DR.. Lockhart spoke of
his fathers experience and DR.. Ayres
gave paper on the activity Of the
Parker family in the war.
Commander Oscar Friedsburg of the
local American Legion post read a
paper on Memorial Day and the work
of the Legion for both the living and
the dead.
The club invited the Cloquet Club for
a joint meeting on June 8, and an in
vitation from Two Harbors to meet
with them at the National Forest Lodge
on June Is was accepted. Barnew Ag-
new will complete arrangements for
this meeting.
The Presbyterian ladies served an ex-
cellent dinner.

st. Paul, May "a, 1932.-Have you
made up your mind yet as to which
nine candidates to vote for June 20
for congressman large? Probably
not, if you're like most of the voters
to whom I have put the question last
week. You may be like one man, a
man of more than average intelligence,
too, who frankly said he hadn't even
checked over the list and doubted if
he knew enough about any of them to
vote intelligently.
This man happened to be a Re-
publican so his admission of lack of
knowledge of the candidates is all the
more worthy of note just because nine
of the 80 Republican aSpirants are
present members of congress and their
names and general records ought to
be pretty well known to the average
voter. But, of course, they aren't.
That's the answer.
It's fair to presume, I suppose, that
the average Farmer-Labor voter is just
as much at sea in trying to pick nine
out of the party's IS candidates. The
Democratic voter has a little simpler
task, having only % from which to
choose.
In this connection want to call
attention to a campaign card gotten
out by my old friend and fellow news
paperman, Sen. Elmer E. Adams, Fergus
Falls, who is one of the 80 Republicans
who'd like to go to Congress.
On the back of his card Elmer prints
the entire list of 80 Republican candi-
dates under the heading Scratch 49,"
In starting to make his choice the
average voter can no doubt more easily
get down to brass tacks by scratching"
from the list such candidates as he
doesn't know anything about or whose
public records, if any, are such as do not
meet with his approval.
No voter will have much trouble, I
take it, in scratching at least half of
the candidates the first time he goes
through the list. One or two more
times down the list ought to reduce his
available" candidates to the limit of
nine, possibly less.
On behalf of MIR. Average Voter,
therefore, I commend to the other 88
candidates of all parties that they
follow Elmer Adams example in the
way of campaign cards. 1t will be
doing good turn and one that should
be appreciated. The Farmer-Labor
candidate, of course, will have to head
his list with Scratch 26" and the
Democratic aspirant with Scratch Is"
incidentally, Elmer Adams prints the
list in alphabetical order-which is fair
enough even if by so doing his own
heads the list. His own name, natur-
ally, is printed in "boldface" type,
which makes it stand out from the rest
sufficiently to be noticeable.
There are two rather important
angles to this. wild and merry scramble
for the congressional nominations that
may have considerable influence on the
result
One is the wet" and dry" angle,
although of the more than 40 of the SO
candidates who have so far replied to
the inquiry of the Minnesota Associ-
alton Against the Prohibition Amend
ment all but two are on record as
favoring resubmission of the 18th
amendment. The two exceptions are
Rep. John Paul Kvale, Farmer-Iabor,
and Charles j. Andre, st. Paul, Re
publican.
The Anti-Saloon league, it is an
nounced, plans to take active part in
the, primary campaign and will, of
course, support only such candidates as
are opposed to resubmission.

Wrong License Plates
Help CuLprits Escape,

The loss of a license plate from a
passenger car or truck can be more
serious, if not promptly reported, than
just the trouble and annoyance of hav-
ing to get new ones, according to state
highway department bulletin.
If a person using an incorrect plate
gets into an accident, the likelihood of
a correct name and address being given
is rather remote, the bulletin points out
Instead, fictitious name is generally
given, which of course does not agree
with the name of the real owner of the
plate, but that does not serve to pre-
vent the victim of the accident from
bringing suit against the registered
owner. If the suit is not defended, and
proof furnished to clear the owner OF
the license plate from all connection
with the accident, the outcome is likely
to be ajudgment by default. On this
account, the loss of a license plate
should be Immediately reported to the
Registrar of Motor Vehicles at the state
capitol, and so made matter of official
record, the bulletin urges.
A number of instances of inability of
motorists, whose cars were damaged, to
again locate the drivers who were re-
sponsible for the damage, have come to
the attention of the state highway
patrol. Patrol officers, the bulletin
states, make close investigation as to
the correctness of licenses on all We
hicleS which come to their attention
because of traffic violations. These in
vestigations have brought to light the
misuse of a considerable number Of
license plates with consequent penali-
zation, the bulletin adds.

CHINESE HORDE
WILL Be TAKEN
TO COAST COURT

1t was a congress of races, with
the Oriental vote decidedly in the
majority, when two double -decked
busses and one single story bis left
the county Jail early this
morning, bearing 116 immigration
prisoners toward trial by the San
Diego branch of the federal court.
Keeping their wits about them,
their tongues in their cheeks and
their diplomacy ever ready we're
two lonely Japanese, sandwiched
somewhere among the 100 Chinese
prisoners. Just by way of variety,
three Mexican and two white pris-
oners accompanied the cavalcade,
which is to be directed by Frank
Reading, deputy United States
marshal.
The wholesale exodus left the
county Jail deserted sort of
place, with only 36 Chinese prison.

venile tank" may be used for jul
veniles again, and each prisoner,
with good management, might even
be able to find a bunk in the bas-
tile which lately has been SO over
crowded
The attitude of the prisoners, es-
pecially the Chinese, may be seen in
the fact only six guards, besides the
deputy marshal, are making the
San Diego trip. This, officers de-
clared, is one guard for every

CIANNINI WILL
BE HEARD HERE
IN MOVIE TALK

1--WE will never get prosperity by
Legislation" says A. P. Ginanini in
Paramount News, showing at the
Imperial theatre on April 80.
"Giannini feels that too many
have been sitting back, waiting for
congress to find some cure-all,
something beyond the power of
congress or any other legislative
body to accomplish" according to
Leroy Holt, local vice-president of
the Bank of America.
Our national government, our
state government, our municipal
tiles, Giannini believes, can stim-
ulate return to normal conditions,
but how soon we get prosperity de-
pends upon what we. as individuals,
do by adjusting our lives to present
day conditions Holt said.
"Depressions are the product of
fear" says the chairman of the
board of the Bank of America.
Prosperity, however, is born of
confidence"
Lets stop feeling sorry for our
selves he says. Remember that
over 40,00OOO0 people in this coun-
try are still gainfully employed.
Remember that So out of every
100 farms are free from mortgages.
Now let's be sensible, buy what we
need and deposit surplus money in
the banks.
Credit is the basis of our whole
economic life. People put their
money in the banks-the banks
lend this money to farmers, merch-
ants, manufacturers, home build
ers-or to anyone having legiti-
mate need. That creates jobs
jobs Great monochrome leads to
spending-and then you have pros
perity."
It is very human, a very sin
cere, very forceful Giannini that
Paramount presents to the patrons
of the motion picture show.
An interesting story lies behind
thSi appearance of the bank leader
on the screen. AS is we'll known
to all Californians, Giannini is shy
when it comes to public appear
ances. When the suggestion was
first made to him that he carry
his message direct to the people,
through the medium of the movie
tone, he replied: II would have
been in trouble many times during
the past 81 years if I had INDUCED
in speech making. / am not going
IN begin now A banker ShOIlld
run his bank and leave the speech
making to the orators. I know my
limitations"
1t was pointed out to him that
he had message of vital impor-
tance to the people of California
in his Back to Good Times"
movement, and upon this plea of
a public duty, he consented to ap-
pear for Paramount.

the influx of outside labor into

This decision was reached after

Association members said that
laborers from other sections of the
country are attempting to take
work previously done by valley

Jobs
Badly Needed By
Local Residents

Due to continued cold weather
and the fact that the cantaloupe
deal has been delayed until ap-
proximately May Is, large num-
Der of local men are in desperate
need of temporary employment, ac-
cording to w. N. Cunningham, local
head of the federal free employ
ment service.
The period between the close of
the lettuce season and opening of
the cantaloupe deal is one in which
welfare organizations are called
upon to take care of large num-
bers of local unemployed, said Cum
ningham.
Depleted funds this year will pre-
vent organizations from extending
much material aid and Cunning
ham expressed the hope that all
those who are able to do SO will
provide employment to worthy To-
cal men until conditions improve.
Temporary employment relieves
the drain upon welfare organiza-
tions, prevents "panhandling" on
the streets and is of material as
sistance in carrying out the pro-
gram of the Central Relief COM
mittee, Cunningham said.
There also is great need of
clothing for both children and
adults" he added, land while all
welfare organizations realize the
town has responded wonderfully to
past appeals, any used clothing
will be greatly appreciated"
