will be ready for the season and ready
to occupy positions in the first di-
vision.
That was telling stroke of bust
ness Mike Kelly and DOME Bush exc
cuted last week, when they traded
| first baseman Jim Wasdell to the
Washington Senators for cutfielder
Carl Reynolds, infielder Ralph Kress
and first baseman Harry Taylor.
Here are two seasoned veterans of
major league baseball and one young
ster of promise and they amount to a
net gain in strength to the Millers
| for Wasdell, although Minneap dis
property, had never played in the AS
ISOLATION. He had been out on loan
to Nashville in the Southern League
where he hit .341 last season.
The transfer of Wasdell to Wash
ington takes nothing from the
strength the Millers had last year,
but the transfer of Reynolds, Kress
and Taylor add greatly to the Millers'
strength for 1887.
Kress can play any position in the
infield. He started as first base
man, played third base and second
base in the majors and filled in Oc-
casionally at shortstop. He is ter
rifle early season hitter and should
be a reasonably good hitter all sea-
son long against American Associa-
ton pitching.
Reynolds who, like Kress, hits right
handed, has been one of the American
Leagues superior sluggers for several
seasons. He is slow in the field, but
will be of tremendous value to the
Millers because, in the small area
of Nicollet Park his hitting will count
more and his field less than in other
baseball parks.
Thus the Millers have an entirely
new outfield of Reynolds. Dusty Cooke
and Guy Dallesandro. The latter two
are fast fielders and left handed hit
tiers and the three of them give prem

A pitcher is needed, probably two
pitchers, although the need will be
lessened if both Walter Tauscher and

therefore this program is not advise
able.
Then, too, some would recommend
taxes to solve redistribution. There
are also difficulties to that program
also, said the speaker, for it would
not go back far enough. Another
suggestion is to raise wages and a
minimum wage limit would be good
thing but then prices of commodities
would possibly rise too fast and we
would be in the same difficulty as
before.
In 1922 there were approximately
90 work units produced per man and
seven years later, in 1929. there were
1875 units per man, while all during
that period price levels remained
about the same.
Mr.. Hoiberg suggested as a conclu-
sion to his talk that consumers CO.
operatives could contribute much to
future betterment of the masses and
voiced the opinion that natural re-
sources should belong to the people
as a whole.

Eighth Annual Meet

grades, of products when it comes to
gases and oils. The trend in market
ing has showed an increase from 1000
tank cars in 1885 to 5000 in 1886, or
representing an increase of 1870.
The materials must, therefore meet
the demand of those using them.
However, said the speaker, climatic
conditions must be taken into con-
sideration. Such an increase in CO.
operative consumption of oil products
must indicate public acceptance of
those products, said Mr.. Graham. He
told of disseminating business con-
nections with concern recently who
failed to deliver products according
to specifications laid down by Mid
land.
Three Kinds.
Mr. Graham diagnosed the gasoline
situation properly in explaining that
tt ere are three kinds of gasoline re-
fined. In choosing the proper gaso-
line for each individual case the AS
ISOLATION must take into consideration
the climatic conditions and the stor-
age temperature of the average ma
chine to be supplied. In the case of
Askov the Association must stock a
medium starting gasoline in order
that reasonable economy in operation
may also be enjoyed.
There are three kinds of gasoline,
as stated before and they are the
very light grade with quick starting
purpose, but less power and mileage
performance; the medium grade with
reasonable starting and medium pow
er and mileage economy; and the
heavy which affords slow starting
but a maximum of power and mile
age economy.
Mr.. Graham intimated that it would
be fine thing for an oil concern to
be able to stock all three kinds, but
it would be impossible because of the
added expense. Therefore the oil as
ISOLATION must carry that which will
serve a good, average purpose for its
trade. The speaker explained fully
that an ell concern cannot please
every one in one gasoline, because
some machines, are stored in warm
places and others are in cold stor-
age. However, he stated that coop
gas is equivalent to any gas on the
market.
In conclusion the speaker said divi-
dends in the cooperative movement
are only incidental, but that if every
operative the dividends will come.

strong chance to bid for the cham
piOnship.
Over in st. Paul prospects are even
brighter. Tie Saints were reorgan-
lied early. When they sent Fette and
Rosenthal to the major leagues they
received enough playing talent in ex-
change to give them a splendidly bal
anced club which will be fast, fairly
young, potent at the bat and one of
the soundest defensive organizations
to be found anywhere in the minor
leagues.
Give the Saints that one left handed
pitcher they need to help them when
they play in Minneapolis, WI ich has

Immediately assume the appearance
of favorites in the pennant race
Because their material is accounted
for so early, the Saints stand scme-
what ahead of the Millers in the win
ter's dope. But Minneapolis made a
tremendous gain by last weeks deal
and needs but one more similar deal
to pull abreast of their hitterest
rivals.
1t is already safe to say that these
two teams are pointed toward the
first division and will be very much
in the race from the opening day.
Both teams will do their spring
training in Texas, the Saints at Mar
shall, the Millers at New Braunfels,
and they will come out of the South
with colorful, hustling, hard hitting
outfits that may make the season of
1897 one of the most thrilling of a
decade.

matter of concern to each country
itself to what extent it feels it must
go in regard to armament; it is not
the business of anyone else.
Anti.SOviet.
AS in Nuremberg last August, so in
Berlin in January: Hitler aired his
angry views about Soviet Russia, but
in a far more subdued form than the
first time; he paid his compliments
to the Jews in words that expressed
qualification that he had succeeded
in keeping racial lines" clear, and
he once more referred bitterly to Jew
Bolshevism as the
great menace of the age. But, gen.
orally speaking, he indicated no new
departure in his policies, and al
though he spoke for two solid hours,
he said nothing that was calculated
to set the world aflame.
Executions.
While Hitler spoke in Berlin, the
final act of a bloody drama was ap-
preaching in Moscow where seven
teen men were on trial for having
formed a conspiracy against the Soviet
regime and for having-it was
charged-tried to interest Germany
and Japan in a war against the Stain
government.
All the seventeen eagerly confessed,
and what they said seems to have
been amply borne out by the testi-
mony of many witnesses. So, Satur-
day they received their sentence: Four
of the men, among them the brilliant
journalist, Karl Radek, were let off
with ten-year prison sentences; it was
said, however, that this was merely
deferring the supreme penalty, for
the authorities are reported to feel
that Radek, and the three other
prisoners are able to tell more than
they have admitted to date, and rami-
fications of the most recent trial may
involve them even deeper than they
have now been.
The remaining thirteen were SEN
fenced to death; they were given the
right to appeal, and did appeal, but no
mercy was shown-and last Monday
morning in the bleak hours of the
dawn they were led out to be shot,
one by one, by the unerring execution
squads of the Soviet government.
Far away in Mexico sits the one
man who in the course of the last
two trials of this kind has been named
as the chief instigator of anti-Stalin
plots, Leon TrOtzky. He is, so far,
beyond reach of the Russian authori-
ties.
The Middle Road.
In Japan the militaristic clique
made it impossible for Kazushige
Ugaki to form a new government to
succeed the Hirota cabinet which re-
tired in face of criticism of its colos-
sal budget and the immense expenses
calculated for military purpose. The
army leaders have in Japan the privi-
lege of approving or rejecting the ap-
pointment of the minister of war, and
since they were intent on preventing
Ugaki from assuming power, they dis

The emperor thereupon delegated to
General Senyuro Hayashi the difficult
task of forming government, and he
has undertaken it. In choosing Hay

Such promise he may have given.

Chang is simply sparring for time.
Trade Agreement.
Some seven or eight years ago the
international court at The Hague ruled
that a customs union between Ger
many and Austria must be considered
violation of the Versailles peace
treaty for the reason that it might
pave the way for the forbidden politi
cal merger of the two German-speak-
ing nations. At that time it was free
ly admitted that the court had judged
from viewpoint of politics rather
than from one of Justice.
But now the two countries have
succeeded to some extent, in cir
cumventing the Hague decision, for
few days ago they concluded
treaty of commerce which gives both
of them valuable economic conces-
sions; whether this pact will ulti-
mately lead to political consolidation
is still an open question, but it is not
likely in view of the fact that there
is between Germany and Italy an
agreement that consolidation must not
be attempted, for Italy's interests
would-it has been felt in Rome right
alOng-be jeOpardized were such a
union to take place. And the recently
increasing friendship between Hitler
and Mussolini makes it highly mprob-
able that Germany and Austria for
the time being will pursue remoter
goals in that direction

BILL
SPONSORSHIP
COMPROMISE
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

Sponsors Of one Of the most
powerfully supported measures
now pending in Congress - the
Harrison.B Black Fletcher 1000 mil
non-dollar education bill - today
planned to seek a compromise with
the Administration.
With President Roosevelt oppos-
ing the measure because Of the
budget situation, sponsors Of the
measure virtually abandoned hope
Of putting the entire program into
effect.
Compromise proposals vary from
an annual appropriation Of $780,
100000 to $15o,o00,000 to aid
States in maintaining their educa-
tional systems. The measure, in
Il; present form, calls for $780,
100000 the first year, but this
would be increased to a permanent
sum Of $300,OOO,OOO annually.
Big Deficit Cited
Congressional advocates Of the
proposal have received informa-
ton that the Administration is
strongly opposed to the measure.
The chief ground given is the
huge Treasury deficit and failure
of tax receipts to come up to ex-
pectationS.
The Harrison Black Fletcher
bill, for which supporters are &C
tive In every State in the country,
provides in addition to the annual
appropriation:
Funds to be appOrtiOned to
States on basis of population
between the ages of 5 and 20
years.
Legislatures are given free
hand to direct expenditure Of
money for adult education.
A Just and equitable diStribu-
ton is required Of States. States
must keep public schools open
at least 100 days q year.
State Power Respected
State or territory cannot re-
ceive money unless it spends as
much each year for education
as was spent for the school year
1895.
A final provision, designed to
meet objections Of those who
fear Federal control Of educa-
ton, that the act shall be con-
stried "to secure to the several
States and territories control Of
the administration Of this act
within their respective jurisdic.

local initiative in the operation
