Colonel John H. Machine Gun" Parker, picturesque leader of the old Yankee Division during the World war, is of the opinion that there is going to be another world conflict. Perhaps not in the immediate future, but eventually, he predicts.
 Don't you see," he replied to a u,iery as to his views on the situa- ton, "how nearly events today par allel those of 1914? The same talk of neutrality, of keeping out. When 1t comes there will be this difference among others, no nation will be able to control or claim control of the sea. Why with aeroplanes and sub- marines nobody will have any rule over the waters. And nobody had any right to it. The sea is public high way"
 Attends Dinner
 The famous I'D leader, however, sl1unted the question of war to one side Wednesday evening when he at- tended testimonial dinner to Ed ward A. Still, depupty city con- troller of Hartford, and 102nd mess sergeant. The dinner also climaxed MT. Stillman's record of sixteen years as treasurer of the Rau-Locke post, American Legion.
 No Waterbury members were in at- tendance, but they will be interested in the remarks of Colonel Parker. AL though over 70 years of age, Ma chine Gun" is described as bluff and hearty.

SPORTS
OF THE WEEK
(Chuck Rathe)

Coach Harvey's lads opened up
with their first victory Of the sea-
son when they took the laurels
against Long Prairie 20 to z. The
locals scored first on pass to Kel-
dahl after line smashing plays fail
ed to shake a determined Long
Prairie defense. Our second goal
was snatched as Decree made q
spectacular run Of seventy yards
with the whole team brushing the
Black eleven to one side. The third
score the locals gathered into the
fold when Arvig snatched a pass
into the end zone. Long Prairie
completed a pass for their goal.
Two passes, then, directly scored
for the Maroons, while several were
responsible for sustained gains
and others came in handy in
stretching a gain for first down.
That passing attack Of the locals
has developed greatly in the last
game. Out Of nine attempts eight
were completed for nice gains with
no interceptions. The Black and
Orange eleven tossed fourteen with
only four finding the receivers
hands, nine went on the incomplete

and cleared it nicely. The locals
kicked off and there was a mad
scramble as the kick was fumbled.
Long Prairie was forced to punt
with her back to the wall as the
quarter ended with the score 13 to
o. The locals picked up a nice gain
and on the next play a tumble just
as Decree was tackled found US
with the ball recovered two yards
farther on up the field. Graham
tore through the center Of the line
for a gain of six yards and Decree
skirted end for the first down. LUX,
playing at end for Long Prairie,
turned Decree in on the next play
and the play stopped with little
gain. Long Prairie took break, at
that point as they recovered a
Sank Centre tumble back Of the
line of scrimmage. They completed
a long pass, and failing to gain
following that were forced to punt.
The locals with little gain on their
attempts punted on the third down.
Long Prairie took possession OF
the ball and shooting a long pass
the receiver getting behind Hoff-
man, crossed the goal for the lone
Prairie touchdown. They went over
for the point and the score stood
13 to z. Long Prairie kicked off
and the locals finally got a reverse
to function and Arvig picked his
way for a five yard gain. Graham
tore off a couple of yards on the
next play and on the next a stone
wall met him and stopped him cold.
The ball went to Long Prairie and
the Sank Centre team showed their
finest spark of defensive football.
Bellinger worked in fast to smear
the play before it got started. The
whole forward wall washed in on
the next one to stop the Black and
Orange on the line of scrimmage.
Keldahl intercepted a pass and re-
turning it ten yards was downed.
The next play was a sensation. The
ball was snapped to Decree, and
the Sank Centre line pivoted on the
right end showing the Prairie team

to the right. Decree cut off to the
left and edging his way down the
field. he ran seventy yards to
score. Again the fake placement
play. This time with Arvig taking
a pass to convert the point. The
Blacks started q last minute threat
as they barged their way in for a
couple Of plays. Opening up on
passes the whole local eleven
swarmed in to knock 1t down. The
ball went to Sauk Centre, and De-
Gree caught behind his own line on
a reverse fumbled, and recovery
was made by the Blacks. They were
stopped on two plays followed by
an incomplete pass, and another.
Lunceford, Black back, did the pas
sing and a neat passer he is. Long
scooting passes, but the locals have
built their defense since the Mel
rose game. The ball went to Sauk
Centre and Graham was driving
into the line as the gun announced
the finis. The locals defeated Long
Prairie 20 to Z.
The starting Lineup is as follows:

DISEASE CYCLE
THREATENS GROUSE -
nHWNyNywrcyr

A catastrophe" threatens Mime
sofas three popular and distinct
species Of grouse, the ruffed grouse
or native partridge, the pinnated
grouse or prairie chicken, and the
sharp-tailed or white-breasted
grouse, according to DR.. Robert G.
Green, Of the department of bac-
teriology, University Of Minnesota.
DR.. Green, nationally known for
his studies in wild life diseases, at
tributed the periodic disease cycle
as the reason for the sudden scar
city Of prairie chickens and sharp
tailed grouse in the recent open
hunting seasons on these two up
land game bird species.
Although midsummer observa-
tions indicated these game birds to
be numerous in many counties the
open season showed that there
were but few scattered survivors of
the vast flocks of few years ago."
DR.. Green said.
"This disappearance Of grouse
was not unlocked for. It was ex-

currence and its extent for prairie
chickens and sharp-tailed grouse
were much beyond expectation"
State game wardens conducted a
survey of grouse in July at the in
stigation Of Erling Swenson, Direc-
tor of the Division of Game and
Fish Birds were reported as being
plentiful and the Minnesota Con-
servation Commission declared an
open season Of eight and one-half
days In IA northern counties.
DIR. Green said that studies being
conducted reveal that these wild
life diseases occur in cycles and
that the species under protection
will return

Il. g. Lenxmeter, makes the follow
ing public reply:
Q.-'What years does the AAA
wheat contract cover?
A-The new wheat contract COW
ers the years 1886, 1887, 1888 and
1889. but permits the producer to
withdraw at the end Of 1887. II he
has compiled with its provisions
up to that time, and If he has given
due notice Of withdrawal before
June 1, 1887.
Q.-Who Is eligible to a contract?
Amy farmer who in 1885 will
operate a farm on which wheat was
grown in one or more Of the years
19SO-1932 inclusive, and on which
wheat has been grown more or less
continuously since 1882.
Q.-How Is the base acreage for
the contract figured?
A.-The base acreage for the
farm to be placed under contract
will be the total number OF acres
of wheat seeded for harvest during
the three-year period 193O1932, d.
vided by 8. There are two excep-
tions to this rule, however. First,
If wheat was grown on the farm in
1881 and 1882, but not in 1880, the
two-year average will be used. Sec
ond, If wheat was grown only In
1882, the acreage for that year will
be used.
Q.-How will the 1886 acreage
allotment be determined for farm
under contract?
A.-The acres of wheat permitted
for 1896 on a farm under contract
will be IS per cent of the base
acreage for that farm. This calls
for 5 per cent reduction below
the base acreage.
Q.-How will the acreage allot-
ment be determined for 1887, 1888,
and 1897
A.-The Secretary of Agriculture
will announce the per cent of ad-
justment that will be required for
each year following 1896 before
winter wheat seeding time Of each
year. In no event will the reduction
be more than Is per cent OF the
base acreage.
Q.-Will contracted acres" be
set aside under the new wheat
program?
A.-Yes, s per cent Of the base
acreage will be set aside as "ad-
justed" acres, which is term now
used instead of contracted"
acres. This may be seeded to pas
ture crops In addition to regular
pasture acreage. The land may also
be summer-fallowed or planted to
soil-improving crops to be plowed
under. The land may also be used
for additional woodlot or wind
break.
Own benefit payments be
made under the new contract?
Ayes, benefit payments will be
paid on "a per cent of the farm al
lotment in bushels Of wheat pro-
duced during the base period. The
amount or the rate per bushel will
! be the difference between the act
ual wheat price and parity price
as determined by the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration before
July Of each contract year. This
arrangement assures the wheat
grower Of receiving a "fair ex-
change" price, the more the con-
tract signer will realize from total
| wheat crop. This is the aim under
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration.r rig n
Sign-up meetings are scheduled
for IL places in 2, Stearns county
this week. In addition applications
can be completed at the office at
| st. Cloud.

ship which they are now attempt
ing to protect. BY the same token
stars such as Cardwell and La
Noue, although they played great
game, had their lights Of stardom
dimmed on last Saturday. Not only
did that win mean the defeat Of
one of the best rated football ag-
gregations in the country. The sig
nificance lies in the fact that Bier
mans Gophers definitely will fig
ure in this years national fight.
Roscoe blossomed out no end with
sensational 70 yard run and sus-
tanned gains. Roscoe Is going into
the limelight as an All-American
prospect with continued work like
Saturdays. Seidel, as tactician, who
maneuvered the Gophers to victory,
ranked himself with Carideo and
the other able field generals Of this
decade. Rale Rennebohm, who
staved off repeated charges Of
those huskers, was the hero OF the
day as he muffed up the plays Of
Nebraska on the Minnesota two
yard line. Rennebohm and Seidel
were the two most exhausted men
in the Gopher lineup that left the
field Saturday.
There was more football
played Saturday than IN any
game this section has had the
pleasure to become acquainted
with for a long time. The ROs-
coe sensation, the brilliant tao :
tics Of LanOue, that Renneb0hm
defense, the valiant stand ON
the two yard line, the valiant
comeback aSd fighting heart of
both teams will stand In foot
ball history along with the bril-
lance of the -Four Horsemen.
So the Gophers borrowed the
Husker cry which echoed a week
ago but which died pitifully last
week-'Tulane You're Next" The
Green Wave which Bierman piloted
in Dixie so successfully will meet
the Gophers this week. It is the
fury Of the Mortimer against
Southern gentlemen"-who are
none the less football players in
the first degree.
From the expanses across the
Appalachians there comes an ON
inous silence. A silence which
shifts greatly Of bad guesses and
pulled in horns. Not even q faint
whisper has come to this section
from the Greats-the Rices and
the Gallicos and the rest-the boys
who said the Cornhuskers would
knock the stars and bars off the
Gophers back. Our genial radio
caster, Ted Husing, reports that
the Gophers are q greatly ovsrrat-
ed team" You see, Mister Husing
picked the Huskers, too. He has
even passed up the opportunity to
broadcast the Tulane-Minnesota
tussle next Saturday. Why the wry
faces Of the Experts? Sour grapes?

Sauk Centre 27-Starbuck
Sauk Centres '35 edition turned
in their second win of the season
defeating a weaker and lighter
Starbuck eleven 81 to 0. Decree
and Graham smacked over for the
goals, one in each quarter, with
Keldahl reaping one conversion
with a placement, Arvig taking an
other on a pass from fake place
ment play, and Graham cracking
through the line from the same
play.
Sauk Centre kicked against the
wind. and driving in hard stopped
the Starbuck lads on two plays for
no gain. They kicked on the third
down, and the Streeters opened
with a first down run with Gra-
ham Juggling the ball. The locals
fumbled, recovered again, but dis
tance had been lost and they lost
the ball on downs. Starbuck, in
the face Of repeated driving thrusts
were thrown for losses back to
their own twenty yard line. They
kicked, and even with the wind in
their favor, it was not good kick.
Hoffman ran it back a few yards.
Graham slanted off his own tackle,
and Decree skirted an end and
the boys were in scoring position.
Graham barged in near the goal
line to put the ball on the other
side of the stripe for the first Main
Pa1y
ment play Graham tore into the
line, which opened readily, for the
extra point. The gun announced
the end Of the first quarter. The To-
Gals picked up a first down with a
short pass to Keldahl who latereled
to Arvig. The Sauk Centre crew
drove in for three consecutive first
downs, and Decree lugged the ball
to the goal line. Graham smacked
off his tackle for the goal. Keldahl
made the conversion with the place
kick, the wind at his back.
In the second half the locals
made a steady march down the
field following their receiving the
ball. Decree lugged the ball over
for the third score. Using the fake
placement play again. they mixed
them up with an end pass to Ar
Wig who crossed for the point stand
ing up. Following the fourth score
which came in the fourth quarter,
Coach Harvey began to throw In his
reserves. Starbuck for the first
time capitalized on a first down.
On the next succession they lost
the ball on downs. Sauk Centre was
forced into a hole, and Jim Pang-
burn, sub, got off a punt that may
be rated the best for the day. Star
buck was nailed with the ball on
their own ten yard line, and they
moved slowly up the field. Harvey
tossed in another bunch of subs
and with the whole lineup shifted
around the locals made little head
way for the remainder of the game.
but they held the opposition. The
game ended with the final tally at
27 to O.
During the half two teams Of the
local reserves swarmed onto the
field for a little exhibition play.
Those "kids" have plenty Of the
old fight, and with the proper at
tention will make Sauk Centre a
team that'll go places.
