actly fiattering. The general opinions
held by the people of one country
about those of another are usually
based on seif-interest, that is, on eco
nomic considerations. Because Of eco
nomic conditions, chief of which is the
struggle of Japan to change herself
from an agricultural to an industrial
nation, the Pacific Is a trouble zone
today. Mr.. Pickens' book Is one Of the
best among the many recent books on
the subject, in its orderly arrangement
and succinct statement Of facts gained
largely at first hand. He thinks that
a new Pacific policy on the part Of the
United States is Immediately import
ant. It should include, he says, the
reorganization of the Hawaiian gov

the Army and the Navy will be repre-
sented, resembling Of the Japanese ex-
clusion act Of 1924 and reconsideration

BIRDS PLENTIFUL.
SEASON LONGER, A
HUNTERS HEAVEN
State Announces Season of
20 Days With Four
Weekends

Pheasants, and undoubtedly
pheasant hunters, will be more
plentiful this fall than in any re-
cent season, according to Lyle
Tweet, game warden, who con-
tends that the birds are thicker in
Redwood and Renville counties
than any where else in the state.
In fact they are so thick that
many farmers will welcome hunt
ers to prevent loss of crops in
case the birds reproduce as fast
next year as they did this summer.
Four weekends of pheasant shoot
ing through two staggered sea-
sons were established in 81 central
and southwestern Minnesota coun-
ties by the state conservation
commission.
Amid reports of unparalleled
pheasant abundance, the commits
sion authorized seasons from Oc-
tcber 19 to 27 and November 9 to
10, setting daily bags at three
birds, with one hen permitted.
Shooting is limited to from noon
to sunset. A nine-day season from
October 10 to 27 with taking of
hens prohibited was set for the
"a north central and southeastern
counties.
Remaining portions of the state
were closed.

competing with many with more
experience, won the title of style
show queen and the state fair trip

THOMAS ARNETT
BARELY ESCAPES
IN WELL CAVEl'
so Pound Lump of Dirt Falls;
Steel Pole Helps
Save Life

Thomas Arnett Sr. escaped seri-
GUS injury Thursday by quick
thinking when the top of well in
which he was working, caved in on
him, 65 feet below.
Working at a farm near Buffa-
10 Lake, Arnett was at the bottom
of a we'll which had been curbed
to within 10 feet of the top when
large lump of earth fell from
near the ground level. His son,
Wilbur Arnett, who was working
with him shouted warning and
Arnett clung close to a steel pole
he had been using. Twenty feet
tall, the pole broke the earth, esti-
mated as weighing about SO
pounds, into smaller pieces.
Struck on the top of the head
and about the shoulders Arnett
did not lose consciousness until
he had been pulled from the well
by Wilbur and another son, Giles.
He was brought to Redwood
Falls for treatment and was
confined to his bed for several
days with very severe bruises.

Only 5 Per Cent
Wheat Acreage Cut
Required For 1886

Farmers who sign the 1886
80 wheat allotment contract will

wheat crop of the United States
and certain other surplus produc-
ing countries would be smaller
than previously had been expected.
