GOLF LEAGUE
IS ORGANIZED
Hfnckley, North Branch, Rush City
and Sandstone Will Play Series
of Four Matches.

There are baseball, basketball and
kittenball leagues but so far as golf
in this section of the state has been
concerned each club has it's course
and with the exception of few tourn-
aments no other association between
them was undertaken. But all of this
has been changed with the action of
representatives of the golf clubs of
North Branch, Rush City, Hinckley
and Sandstone, who met at Hinckley
Tuesday evening and formed what will
be known as the Eastern Minnesota
Golf League.
R. ]. Holt of North Branch, and
Jack Danger of Hinckey, were elected
president and secretary respectively.
They, together with R. w. Bennett of
Rush City. and James Tyre of Sand
stone, are to be known as the execu-
tive council.
Ten Players in Each Team.
Each club is pledged to furnish 10
players at each league game. Green
fees are to be SO cents for the eigh-
teen holes played at each game and
the money will go into the club treas
ury. 1t will be necessary for each
club to furnish the 10 players at each
game for the players will be sent off
in foresOmes, which will be composed
of one man from each of the towns.
Each team captain will be Obliged
to pay $500 for each team before
play starts. The $500 is expected to
be paid whether the team consists
of 10 players or not. So help your
team and get out, it is advised by
the council.
The first League game will be
played at North Branch on Sunday,
May 26. Play starts at $3.50 a. m.
sharp. Other games will be played
on each of the other courses on dates
set and announced by the executive
council

The Pine County Baseball League
started it's official season Sunday with
four of its eight teams idle because
of rain and wet grounds. The only
games played were between Rutledge
and Willow River at Rutledge and
Sandstone and Denham at Sturgeon
Lake. Rutledge and Sandstone won
by scores of 4 to and Z to re-
spectively.
Kraetzner, pitching for Rutledge.
allowed the opposing batsmen eight
scattered hits and blanked them seven
of the nine innings. Danelski, pitch
ing for Willow. allowed only four hits
but these coupled with two errors
were enough to lose the game. The
Rutledge team played errorless ball.
Sandstone pounded out nine hits and
Denham received only six.
According to past custom the post
pOned games will have to be played
at a later open date during the season.
Following are the box scores of the
games played:

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY eEORG STRANDVOLD

Early this week Pierre Laval. for
eign minister of France, arrived in
Mscow where he and his Russian col
league, Maxim Litvinov, are applying
the finishing touches to the long
awaited Franco-Russian treaty of alli-
ance Before Laval reached the cap
ital city of the Soviet republics, the
treaty had been formulated and mi
tailed at Paris, and only some minor
points were left for discussion at
Moscow.
Like it's predecessor of 1898, the
new Franco-Russian alliance is
claimed to be bulwark of European
peace; it remains to be seen whether
it will be that-Or the menace that
the former pact proved to be. OBJ
servers are not feeling very optimistic
for the reason that they recall what
have been the effects of nearly all
similar treaties, namely war.
Germany Invited.
French as we'll as Russian states
men have strongly indicated that
Germany will be weissome to join
them. If Germany would respond, the
element of danger would be mini
mized. for everyone realizes that the
Franco-Russian alliance is directed
chiefly, almost solely, against Ger
many. But the Hitler government has
shown no disposition toward signing
international agreements as long as
Germany is not completely recognized
as the equal of other great powers,
just now it is unlikely that this at
titude will be changed.
Polish Problem.
On his way to Moscow Laval stopped
at Warsaw for the purpose of finding
out what would be the view of the
Polish government concerning the
FrancO-Russian alliance.
AS the buffer state between Russia
and Germany Poland is, of course
very important, and France realized
this long time ago when she con-
cluded an alliance with the Poles
But the effects of this agreement were
very largely neutralized about a year
ago when Poland signed a nOn-aggres-
sion treaty with Germany, and since
then France has been filled with mis-
givings. For. of course, a Franco
Polish alliance had for it's one goal
the sOcalled defense against Germany
and how could that mean anything
when Poland, the ally of France, had
signed away its right or duty to fight
the Germans?
Also. at Geneva recently there was
the disturbing circumstance that Pc
land urged moderate treatment of the
German government indicted before
the League of Nations council because
it had started rearmament in defiance
of the Versailles peace treaty. 1t is

DIFFERENT AMOUNTS
OF LIGHT NEEDED

A survey shows that % per cent
of children finishing grade school
have damaged eye sight. When they
have finished college, 40 per cent are
so affected. At age forty, 65 per cent
suffer from visual defects. And at
age sixty, 95 per cent have eye de-
fects.
This regrettable increase in eye
troubles is in many instances caused
by eye strain resulting from read
ing, studying, sewing at night with
poor light and not enough light.
Science measures light in terms of
foot-candles. A foot-candle is the
amount of light one standard can
die shines on surface one foot
away.
For seeing ones way around and
performing ordinary tasks which do
not require seeing very small OBJ
jects, foot-candles is sufficient. For
reading coarse print and large stitch
sewing, you can get along with 10
foot candles. For continued reading
of ordinary print, or doing ordinary
sewing, you need at least 20 foot-can-
dies. For reading fine print and fine
sewing, you require 80 foot candles,
or more.
Your light may look bright, but it
is the illumination you get on your
work that saves your eyes from
strain; and this diminishes rapidly
the farther away you are from your
lamp.
Seated with your paper or work 3
feet away from your lamp, it will re-
quire a light of at least 275 candle
power to produce the 80 foot-candles
needed to be certain your eyes have
enough light to do their work with
out danger of strain and permanent
injury.
If you use electricity, your light
company will recommend the right
size bulbs to use.
If your home is not wired, one of
the new 300 candlepower kerosene or
gasoline pressure mantle lamps will
supply plenty of live" natural light

United States Of America had about reached
their lowest ebb. Only IS MEMBERS represent
ing seven States were attending the sessions of
the Continental congress, which was making a
futile effort, under the authority given it by the
Articles of Confederation, to function as a gov-
erning body. Measure after measure was pro-
posed in congress to provide funds for govern
nent expenses but most Of these failed for lack
of the necessary nine votes Even when<th
bills were passed the states treated the demands
upon them for funds with the greatest indiffer-
ence. In fact more appropriate name for the
nation at that time would have been the Dis
united States of America.
The soldiers of the disbanded army which had
won the fight for freedom from England were
unpaid and in an ugly mood. They wanted their
money, long overdue, and large numbers of them
camped outside the city and began threatening
to stone the building where the congress was
meeting unless their demands were met. Pres
emily the situation became so threatening that
the congress had to flee from Philadelphia to
Princeton, N. j., where it sat for while, then
went on to New York.
From New York the congress authorized the
holding of constitutional convention and called
on the states to send delegates to such meeting
in Philadelphia 'to take into consideration the
situation of the United States, to revise the Arti-
ces of Confederation and to devise such further
to render the Constitution of the federal gov
eminent adequate to the exigencies of the
Union" Each state could send as many dele
gates as it pleased, since each was to have but
one collective vote.
Of all the states only Rhode Island, which had
been at odds with the federal government almost
from the beginning, refused to send any dele
gates at all and consistent with its attitude it
was the last to ratify the Constitution after one
was finally adopted. New Hampshire was in
favor of the meeting but because of lack Of
funds its delegates did not arrive until the con-
yention was well under way.
Altogether 72 of the leading citizens of the IS
states were accredited as delegates although
some of them failed or refused to 60. Outstand-
ing among the latter was Patrick Henry, the
fiery orator of the Revolution, who was sus-
picious of the purposes Of the convention. Or,
as he phrased it, II smelt rat!" OF the 72 ac-
credited delegates, IS took part in the debera-
lions Of the convention at one time another
but only 80 stayed on the job until the end.
They were the following: :

September II is celebrated throughout the
United States as Constitution day, since it
was on that date in 1887 that the delegates
to the Constitutional convention in PhiIadeI-
phia finished their work and signed their
names to the document under which the
United States has been governed for 14e
years. What manner of men were these
"Fathers of the Republic? What was their
preparation for their great work? Under
what circumstances did they bring into ex-
istence one of the most important charters
Of government in all history? What did
they think Of the fruits of their labor after
they had finished?
These and other questions which naturally
come to mind as we celebrate Constitution
day are answered in this article.
