GRAND JURY TO
INVESTIGATE NORTH
SIDE GAMBLING
JOINTS

The underwood denizens and "big"
town gamblers for many seasons
have lorded it over the decent citi-
zenry of Minneapolis. The property
owners and family folk are tired of
he arrogance Of gambling joints
and restaurants in name only and
openly run in their neighborhoods.
Since we let the public know the
true conditions existing at the Har-
lem Breakfast Club run by Phil
Ware it has been somewhat quieter
around the vicinity of Highland and
Lyndale Avenues. The crap games
and pimps still infest the place, how
ever, they are not so bold now. One
young lad came from the place the
other night boasting he had been
staked to fifty cents and had won
sixty dollars. It has been reported
that Phil Ware has said he was not
afraid Of being closed up for the
reason that he was backed by GER
tain Jewish gentlemen that were
"next" to the authorities.
The Grand Jury has promised an
investigation of the Harlem Break
fast Club and the Paramount Cafe
where crap game is operated by
Tom Mimms, who formerly operated
crap games on the Southside. We
are not being discouraged by the
fact that Phil Ware thinks he is too
big and powerful to be stopped
from contributing to the delinquency
of men and of our young men. We
shall continue our fight not only on
Phil Ware but on others of this
type. Too long has the impression
been that Minneapolis Negroes are
all alike and that there are no de-
cent Negroes in the city, that is
falsehood. The decent people have
been busy buying and building
homes, and raising their children to
escape such places as the Harlem
Breakfast Club and to be good sub
stantial citizens. Therefore, We
shall aid our decent people by tell
ing the real facts of such cases. We
shall soon know, who's who.

MILL CITY MUSICIANS SHOULD
GET DOWN TO BUSINESS

There is wrecking element in
Minneapolis, we find, that cannot do
anything themselves, and still they
spend their time, much of it, in
wrecking the other fellows activity.
This is most pronounced in musical
circles, among the band and orches
tras. Stool pigeons are plentiful.
They couldn't hold up in any other
place but Minneapolis, for they
would be wiped off the map, like the
dirty rats they are. That is one rea-
son Minneapolis is so far behind, in
music. Most Of the first class ones
leave the town as soon as they can
get an opening. Good for them.
Not copying after anyone, still we
want to know who the certain Big
Shot was who went in a certain
place to eat his breakfast and tipped
the waitress four pennies. That's
great stuff. But more nerve.

Other Peoples
Opinion
Sank Centre and Night Football

With theopening of the local high
school grid season a day more
than three weeks off, it is still a
moot question whether a night
football plant will be installed on
the new athletic field northwest of
the city. With the new gridiron al
ready in condition to withstand the
hard usage of the cleats of the con-
testing Orders, there remains but
the problem of whether the install
lation of floodlights would be ad-
visable or not. There can be no
more time for indecision on the
subject; either the lighting system
must be acquired and put up in
the immediate future if they are to
be had in time for the initial Skin
mish or it should be decided at
once that for the current season, at
least, that football will still be a
daylight affair.
The dominant purpose of night
football, of course, is to make it
possible for the attendance of a
greater number of spectators. This
gives rise to the question whether
larger gatherings would be at
tracted here by the transition from
day to nocturnal grid combats. The
answer, in our opinion, is an en-
phatic affirmative. It would ma
turally be presumed to suppose
that night contests would draw
enough fans to pay for the entire
equipment in one or two games
such as was the experience Of
Glenwood which inaugurated
floodlight football back in 1880 but.
with any good fortune at all, it
should most assuredly pay for it.
self in two seasons. Under favor
able conditions it is even con-
ceivable that one successful sea-
son will turn the trick.
If the local high school installs
lighting plant it will not only in
crease it's crowds from the home
supporters but it will also draw
heavily from the adjacent towns in
the vicinity whose sports boosters
row go elsewhere for their fill Of
night football. In this section of
the state night plants are possess
ed by Glenwood, Alexandria, Little
Falls, and Wadena. Many Long
Prairie fans now travel to one Of
the latter three cities to witness
these games after dark but 1t
would be much closer for them to
drive to Sank Centre if similar OPP
portunities were presented here.
Melrose, on the east, would also
contribute handsomely to the
throngs that would be attracted
here by night struggles as would

towns whose inhabitants would be
curious to envisage the novelty of
gridiron play under the incandes-

CORNSTALKS BRING SCAB
TO WHEAT AND BARLEY

Farmers who had heavy losses
from scab in their wheat or barley
this year can avoid severe damage
in future by being sure not to plant
wheat or barley on cornstalk land,
unless the corn stubble has been
plowed under deep. Carl ]. Eide,
plant disease specialist, University
Farm, says wheat scab and scabby
blight of barley are both caused by
the same fungus which causes root
rot, stalk rot and ear rot OF corn.
This fungus lives over winter
mainly on corn stalks and Is likely
to cause heavy damage to wheat
and barley, especially if the wealth
er is hot and moist after the grain
heads out.
Mr.. Eide says wheat scab affect
ed from 10 to so per cent of heads
in many fields in southern Mime
sofa this season, causing them to
turn white before ripening. Much
of this damage was Incorrectly laid
to rust or heat.
Many different organisms cause
blight Of barley but the Cinderella
blight, caused by the wheat scab
fungus, Is especially serious be-
cause large amounts Of it make
barley unfit for feeding. Besides
