Sank Centre Loses Sixth
Second Session Contest
Next Sunday Will End Seasons
Play-Regal Still Leads With
Perfect Record Of 1000

The ball games of the Central
Minnesota League next Sunday will
end the second half Of the season.
Regal has won six straight dur
ing this half, and If they win from
Osakis Sunday, they will make a
perfect record for the entire sea-
son. Sank Centre has not won a
game during the second half, and
during the first half only took two
wins. The locals will meet SUI.
burg Sunday at the Sunburg dia-
mond, and unless they can win
from that team, they will wind up
the last half with perfect zero
record. Elrosa and Glenwood have
been tied for second place for some
time, however, next Sunday will
topple either one of them. With a
defeat for Regal, which is possible
but not probable, two of these
teams would meet in playoff. This
would be good attraction and
would draw a considerable crowd.

prefer medicinal connections made
from rhinoceros horns, snake gals
and strange herbs.

FREE SEAPORTS
URGED FOR U. S.
New Bill to Be Intended to
Stimulate Foreign
Trade

Jew York (UP).-A vigorous
movement is under way to estab-
lish free seaports throughout the
United States to stimulate foreign
trade.
A bill authorizing the govern
ment to establish free zones for
foreign trade has been introduced
in the present congress.
The free zone plan has been
used with marked success abroad.
A free port assures free storage
duty on goods arriving until the
time the importer decided either
to deliver the goods to a purchas-
err, or return 1t to the shipper,
abroad. 1t also implies that goods
received in the free zone may be
trans-shipped to another country
without the payment of American
duty. Under present conditions in
American ports, an importer,
bringing in merchandise, has to
pay duty at once, place it in a
warehouse and then try to sell it.
With q. free port privilege, he
would place the goods in ware
house without paying duty; IL he
sells rs per cent of the shipment
he would take this quantity from
the warehouse. pay duty only on
this amount. and close the trans
action. Eventually, IL the remain
ing goods prove unmarketable
they may be returned to the orig
inal shipper. The importer thus
avoids the payment of duty on
merchandise not actually re-
ceived. The free port especially is
valuable in handling many raw
products where the finishing is
done in American ports. 1t also
stimulates the building of manu-
featuring plants in the ports. The
outstanding example of the sue
cess of the free port is seen in the
rapid growth Of the new world
harbor of Gydnia at the Baltic
entrance to the Polish Corridor.
In q few years a waste land has
here been developed into a world
harbor, and a city of $4,000 has
been built. Roman Kutylowski.
president of the, Gdynia-American
Line, points out that the adoption
of free ports throughout the
United States would immensely
stimulate foreign trade.
