Lost Rights as American

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The
death of Robert Short, American
aviator attached to Chinese fight
ing forces, will not involve the
United States government in any
international complications.
A citizen who voluntarily joins
the fighting forces of another ma
ton does so at his own risk and
automatically forfeits his claim for
protection by this government.

TAzANG, Shanghai Battlefront, Feb. 2s-Tazang, object of the
4 fierce Japanese offensive, is a ruined town in which only two
buildings worthy of being called more than shacks remained standing
today, after an intensive japanese artillery and airplane bombardment.
Coming to Tazang-the Chinese characters of which mean "the
great open spaces"I expected to find a prosperous town astride the
important highway, still held intact by its Chinese defenders.
The Chinese still held Tazang, but its heap of debris contained
a handful of civilians and a few companies of soldiers, who, amidst
death and devastation, were preparing to sell their lives dearly as Shippers.

Needed Badly Now
Pointing out that the present de-
preston is a elimination Of vari-
Gus i'll which included a drought,
breakdown of transportation, re-
placement of man power by ma
chinery, and a general financial
debacle, Barton declared that, be-
cause it is needed more now than
ever before, Rotary ideals should be
closely followed.
Not that we expect a return in
dollars and cents, but for altruiStic
purposes, he said.
"Idealism in business has stood
the test and because of this we see
no great amount of chicanery,
which in previous like periods has
been rampant"
InaSmuch as Evansville extended
the only invitation for the 1888 con-
ference, 1t appeared that the city
would be elected as host.

AFTER FOURTEEN YEARS

Armistice Day, marking the 18th ami
versary of the end of the World War, again
recalls the stern realities of that titanic
struggle, which changed the map of the
world.
The significance of the events which
have occurred since November II, 1918, may
be variously interpreted, according to the
viewpoint from which we see them. To
some it will appear that great progress has
been made toward universal peace, while to
others the trend of events will imply grave
danger for the future.
Even single Individual may reasonably
waver between hope and fear-hopeful when
some felicitous occurrence seems to draw the
nations closer together; fearful when an out
break here or there threatens to undo all eff
forts for concord and understanding.
No one is wise enough to fortell the fu-
ture. Was the "war to end war" the last
great clash of nations, or was it only the pre-
lude to more frightful slaughter and de-
struction yet to come?
Only time can give the answer, but in
the meantime it behooves all right-thinking
persons, and particularly those in positions
of influence and responsibility, to exercise
whatever they may possess of tolerance, for
bearance and the will to do justice to their
fellowmen.

WASTING STATE MONEY
(Grand Rapids derald-Review)

(Grand Rapids Herald-Revew)
log warehouse was built this past summer up
at the Scenic State Park which is under the man
agement of the state conservation department.
That building needed some paint, shingle stain
and some HnSeed oil. These articles purchased
through the State Department of Administration and
Finance. This department is supposed to get the
goods promptly, at low price. Since the present
state administration is always talking about the 10
such purchases would be made, when possible or
reasonable, of local business institutions.
The conservation department received the ma
terials. They were asked for in August ordered
somewhat later and shipped out of Long Island City,
New York, on about September Goth. They ar
rived in Deer River October 10th with freight
charge of $2.40.
The shipment contained shelac some
shingle stain and some porch or deck paint. All OF
this material could have been bought in Grand Rap
ids or in Bigfork at an equal or less price There
doubtless plenty of paint companies in Minnesota
which would have been glad to supply all of these
things at less COST The state does not have to buy
it's paint in Long Island, New York.
But here is the most interesting thing In this
shipment of materials eight gallons of lnseed
oil, well known Minnesota product
The state paid SIPS gallon for this oil and then
could have gone into store in Grand Rapids or in
Bigfork and bought this for 50 cents gallon, with
out any transportation charges. When they wanted
the oil they could have taken it and completed the
work. Some business and profits would have been
left in Minnesota and in Itasca county
The present administration which processes
such friendship for local merchants failed in this in
stance to either help the merchants to buy at ad
vantage for the state.

FEDERAL LOANS

Questions are coming regularly
to the county agents office concern
ing loans for feeder" livestock to
be made from funds of the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation thru
the Regional Agricultural Credit
Corporation of Minneapolis.
At the present time the Mime
apolis office is getting details ar
ranged to be in position to han
die loans of this kind in a very
short time. At present it is a GER
tainty that loans can be made for
the purchase of fattening cattle
and lambs. The purchase Of breed
ing ewes can also be financed in
this manner. Definite information
however is not available in regard
to the purchase of dairy cows in
which some farmers of Stearns
county are already interested.
For most farms the 1892 season
was an especially favorable one as
far as the feed supply is concern
ed. This accounts for the interest
in finances for the purchase of ad-
ditional feeder" stock. In a few
days complete information will be
available at the office of the coun-
ty farm bureau, st. Cloud.

SURPRISE FOR MT. SINAI.
WASHINGTON NOT so HAPPY.

Astronomers and mathematicans, physicists,
biologists and chemists encouraging. A great
authority, Jeans, tells you in his "The Universe
Around Us" that our sun loses in weight every min
ute 25O0OOO00 tons, 15000O00,000 tons every hour.
You worry about that, wondering how long the
world will last. Along comes Doctor Macmillan who
teaches astronomy at the University of Chicago. He
the sun has resources sufficient to make it last
15O00 years longer, and it absorbs fresh
material as it rolls through space.
It is hard for to understand what a million
means, much less billion trilon.
The human race only 900 years away from the
Stone age already ies dives under the sea, has
quered slavery, cannibalism and the problems of
production. It should do remarkable things, with
$4,000, 0,000, 100000 of years to go.

1888, so you can see how fine it
would be for Earle Brown, if elect

that there was saving of over five
million dollars during the first year
of his administration, when the
saving is made by the Olson ad-
Fortunately it does
not look much like a Republican
governor in 1888, although it can
not be said that the Democratic
"rumpers" are not doing their
share. However all the good they
do is to help Hoover to carry this
state, as the fool attacks on Gov.
Olson made by their leaders have
turned thousands of Scandinavian
voters away from Roosevelt.
Mr.. Regan says all the people
think about now is taxes. I believe
he is right there. The millionaire
tax dogers are afraid of Olson, and
worse yet, of a Farmer-Labor leg
islature The farmers of Todd
county think more Of how to save
their farms from foreclosure for
want of payment of interest and
loans when due, and our local
banks are not bothered so much
about taxes as the inability of the
farmers to pay their loans, and,
worse yet, the dwindling value Of
the security. If the farmer could
get anything for his produce he
will never feel the taxes but there
is where the shoe pinches.
No, it is not the farmer or the
Iaborer who kicks on taxes, it Is
the wealthy class who have mill
lions invested in free securities who
are afraid of the income tax as in
come is not tax exempt. I do not
claim that all millionaires are tax
dodgers, but my 18 years of ex-
perience as assessor is that it is not
those who have little that kick. You
never, unless it is chronic kicker,
will find a man who owns two
horses claim they are worthless but
when a man has five then likely as
not four Of them are "cripples."

Loftnes but separated from Mr.. Pearson by a
wide stretch of rushes when the tragedy occurred.
Mr.. Pearson, who standing on ground lower
than that where the victim was, saw pheasant fly

Although 120 feet separated the two the boy re-
ceived almost the full charge shot entering his body
from his ankle to the top of his head
Mr.. Loftness, who was only 20 feet away from
his nephew when the shot was fired, heard the boy
cry I'm shot-come" He rushed to the boys side
to find him fatally wounded. He died almost immed-

That is the first hooey OF the fol-

giant powder or a couple of hou-
oeuvers, of Paris Green. Well right
then is when the boys start laying
their traps for the open office hold

but they start cutting their bait
right that very night. "Well Jim,

things being as they usually are
why he Of course can have the cleo

never recorded the one that dident.
Collidge dident but he had already
had practically two terms. And
there Is a kind of unwritten law
against that Qike the one where If

wasent a third term bugaboo that
kept Calvin out, it was horse sense.
He knew just to an inche how much
American wind the financial balloon
would hold and he got out just two
days before it busted.
But what we are talking about is
this Campaign. It was set that Mr..
Hoover could have it If he choose,
and he did choose, and how! They
do love to be President. J Its the
toughest job in the world, but there
is always 120 million applicants.
Now that brings us down to the
Democrats. (What do you mean
brings us down?) The Democrats
The Sauk Centre herald., 1932-10-27

can always furnish more candidates
than the Republicans. There is less
Democrats, but more of EN- are
candidates. Just after the previous
election, let us say the one of 1928.
Well the next morning after 1t,
every Democrat who has been elect
ed to anything at all the night be-
fore, his local paper said and he
like a yap believed it. Jim Jasbo
swept all opposition before him at
the polls yesterday. He will be the
best Justice of the Peace the Demo-
Gratis ever had in this country and
the u. S. Senate is in his grasp,
and the White House is before
him."
We have 96 Senators in there, all
of whom think they are only there
till the next election when they
will move to the other end of the
Pennsylvania Avenue. Then the
Democrats go through what they
call a "Delousing" process, that IS
they removed some of ems ambi-
ton. They ask EN- if they won't
please wait four years, that they
are young yet and that the offlce
will be theirs four years later. Then
we will say it's getting down near
nomination time. Its been culled
down to about one native son OF
each State. They get all they can
out of him in the way Of campaign
trips, bands, and hotel bills. Then
on a certain ballot they quit him
cold and jump over to the fellow
who was nominated the night be-
fore in the hotel room and will be
announced the following morning.
Well the nominations are over
now. The disgruntled ones start
in: Wrong Man." "Will never
make it," "Punk." But as the weeks
drag along and their complaining
is getting them no campaign funds
why they begin to "See the light.
They have heard the candidates
speeches and he is sound and we
are going to support him."
Now the campaign is going. The
Democrats must attack. He is
the "Out" as usual. He has to tell
what he would have done. Finally
the I'm" must come "Out." He must
tell "Why he dident do it." Now
it's up to the voter to believe one
mans promises or another mans
alibis. One fellow is in and he
don't want OF get out, the other
fellow is out and he wants to get
in. Nobody knows what the one
that is in would do If he continues
in, for no man knows what ne
would do till a condition arose,
and he really faced it. But this
thing has been going on for years,
$50 I think it was, when George
started it. But we always have
good men on both sides so just let
the voters guess their head off.
