For nearly an hour the well known leader of the emergency squad kept the gathering keenly interested in his explanation of the finger print sys- tenn as practiced by the police.

A man or woman may change phy- sicaliy. Their features may be al- tered. A mustache or the use of dye and other artificial means may bring about transformations that would puzzle the closest of friends or acquaintances, but finger prints remain as positive means of iden- tifcation. No two persons in the world have been found yet whose prints correspond. Even those of the famous Siamese twins showed a startling difference"

Association Elects.
Members of the association gathered
at the Pine town hall recently to elect
a board of directors. The attendance

count of the severely cold weather,
but the following members were elect
ed directors for the coming year: John
COnnaker, John Percy, Norman Ward,
Erwin Nelson, Iver Madison. Ole Her.
rud, and Chas. F.. Minar.
According to one of the directors.
much good can be seen in the farm
holiday movement. If it never accom-
plishes one of its purposes, but sue
ceeds in teaching the need of farm
an important service. The farmer
must learn he cannot longer exist as
an individualist. Like industry and
labor, the men and women who labor
on the land must organize. The holi-
day movement has an opportunity to
tell these facts to thousands of men
and women who heretofore have given
scant heed to the possibility of CO.
operative marketing and concerted
action in demanding needed legisla-
tion.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Today Great Britain, France and
Italy are expected to pay to the gov
ernment of the United States a total
sum of approximately $125, 100000 on
their war-debts account; part of this
is principal. the greater part interest.
Strong indications have been given,
notably by Great Britain and France.
that while the payments now due will
be made, these powers expect that
the American government will agree
to new conferences before any further
remittance is due. They do not come
right out with a demand for cancella-
tiOn. but merely suggest that read
justment might be feasible.
So far, the government i'm Washing
ton, through its usual diplomatic
channels, has declared that such a
question cannot be determined by the
executive branch, but must of neces-
sity be dealt with by the congress.
Consensus of intelligent opinion is
that the present economic chaos
throughout the world will justify new
negotiations and, possibly, readjust-
ment i'm the direction of sliding down
the debt scale.

tude of Japan and China whose Man.
churian controversy was submitted to
the general assembly of the League
of Nations in Geneva.
1t was absolutely impossible to per-
suade them to retreat from stand
points once decided upon. Stoutly
Japan defended her action in Man
churia, and just as stoutly China
reiterated her accusations against the
Mikado's government. Each of the
parties pleaded before the Assembly
in exactly the same vein as before
the League Council.
In the Assembly. however, Japan
struck, as she had anticipated, the
first snag. for the small nations
seemed united in their efforts to cast

on any condign punishment for the Of
