ties for taxes Of 1881 or prior years,

amount Of the tax levied and assessed,

ditional two per cent II not paid by
October Is. A two per cent penalty
Is added on the second half Of the
taxes when they become delinquent
on the same date.
1882 taxes. or subsequent years may
be redeemed upon payment Of the
original amount of the tax levied and
assessed. plus penalties, cost Of sale
and interest at not to exceed six per
cent.
Twichell Opposes It
L. L. Twichell. CaSs county. led the
fight against the bill. protesting that
the leniency offered for those who
had not paid their taxes, was unfair
to those who had paid their taxes. He
said though he had not paid his own
taxes and the measure would help
him, he would vote mo- because Of the
unfairnesS.
The bill carried 95 to 10. with an
emergency clause.
Another senate bill to 60 to the
governor provides that school districts
or townships whose property now Is
not required to be insured against fire
or tornado, shall be insured at the
discretion Of the board in either q
mutual company or In the state fire

Manchurian settlement. He indicated
that Russia believes this new effort
to find solution never will reach
the stage Of the negotiations pro-
posed.
There never was any question Of
Japan's accepting the report" Mat
suoka said.
ITO protect Manchukuo." he de-
clared, I'VE must possess the chief
town of Jehol. The only way to get
peace is for the Chinese to withdraw
their troops from Jehol.
Ready to Fight
I'VE will fight II we have to.
II have heard that there are about
10000 Chinese troops in Jehol. but
one Japanese is worth 10 Chinese.
All Chinese soldiers are bandits"
The report is great moral victory
for China said DR.. w. w. Yen. that
country's senior delegate.
1T vindicates our patient policy of
conciliation and our program Of leav-
ing settlement Of this dispute In the
hands of the league.
"Of course we have suffered in
waiting these long months, but per-
haps that suffering is valuable con-
tribution to the peace Of the world"
DR.. Yen did not want to say def
initely that China would accept the
report, but acceptance appeared to
be inevitable in view Of his high
praise for the work Of the concilia-
ton committee Of nineteen.
The report already has been SUBJ
scribed to by 10 leading members Of
the league. It will be submitted on
Tuesday for ratification by the full
league assembly, and will be debated
on Friday and Saturday Of next week
before final vote is taken.
In asserting Manchuria must be re-
tained under Chinese sovereignty, and
in opposing recognition Of the state
of Manchukuo, the report takes .
position alongside that Of the United
States a enunciated In the stimsou
doctrine that the powers do not rec
ognize territorial acquisition made by
use Of force.
Supports Lytton Findings
The report Is based largely on the
findings and conclusions Of the Lyt-
ton commission which, under the aus
pices Of the league, investigated the
position In Manchuria not long ago.
But the assembly report goes even
further than that commission went
in censuring Japan for military ag-
gression and In defending Chinas
right to the three eastern (Manchur-
ian) provinces.

Smith, Anoka, Minnesota The local
district committee accepted this very
clear Interpretation at meeting at
Hinckley Monday, Jan. 80.
The object of inter-school contests
is to fulfill in a big way most every
one of the seven cardinal principles
of education (Health, citizenship
training, worthy use of leisure, worthy
home membership, etc.,. School men
should never be so unprOfessional as
to encourage or allow poor sportsman
ship, or use grudge stuff to stir up
past misunderstanding and difficult
ties. When school activities are so
mishandled as to place these activf-
ties on a level with or inferior to
common town team disputes and fric-
ton, then something must be wrong
with the whole plan. Most school
men stand strongly for fair play and
good time for all. Most school men
promote these activities fer the pure
sport and benefits derived, and not
for the false incentive of winning at
any cost. We teach our boys and
girls at Willow River that a game
played fairly and earnestly and lost,
is game won; and game won UNI
fairly is a defeat. This is also true
in the great game of Life.
