FOOTBALL
BY Dick Cullum, Sports Editor
The Minneapolis Journal

Minneapolis, Sept. 27.-The point
about the Minnesota football team
which enables it to command the
loyalty Of all citizens of the state
is that the players themselves are
citizens Of one state.
The University of Minnesota does
no extensive recruiting as that term
is generally interpreted. 1t does not
send scouts to all sections of the
country offering inducements to
boys who can play football. What
recruiting it does is limited to its
own natural territory.
If any young graduate of a Min
nesota high school wants to play
college football and is good enough
to have a chance to make the var
sity squad an opportunity will be
arranged for him to work his way
through college If he needs the
funds. A job will be provided, but
it will not be a counterfeit job. He
will have to work at it.
Recruiting activities at Minneso-
ia, therefore, are limited mainly to
preventing distant schools from
coming into Minnesota and steal
ing football material that belongs
to home.
Homebred Team. When Bernie
Bierman met his squad of 70 play
ers at the opening of practice this
fall he saw only II men whose
homes were outside the state
boundaries and most Of those out
side II came from near the border,
from northern Wisconsin and from
the Dakotas whence many students
come who are not athletes. It Is in
teresting to note that, as between
players from the Twin Cities and
players from the rest Of the state
there is a fairly even distribution.
In the starting lineup for last
Saturdays game with North Dako-
ia State every boy was a Minneso-
ia boy. Six were from the Twin CT
ties, five from the rest of the
state.
Three Full Teams: At present
Bernie Bierman has three pretty
well organized teams including
regulars and first and second sub
stitutes in each of eleven positions.
That adds up to 80 players. These
are the top grade players out of
the entire squad of about 70 men.
Of these Is are from the Twin Cit
les, 16 are from other parts of Min
nesota and are from outside the
state. What a remarkable record
that is! Two out Of the 33 best
players are not natives.
No major team in the country
can point to such a record; and, OF
course, it Is the best assurance we
have that football at Minnesota
will continue to be high grade.

Signers For Identification
To Meet AT Melrose
Date of Important Meeting An

During Afternoon

Farmers of the county signed up
for the rural Identification pro
gram will meet at Melrose on the
afternoon of October 9Th to author
ize the officers and directors to en-
ter into a contract with the gov
eminent for the borrowing of up to
a million dollars for the construc-
ton of rural Identification lines IN
Stearns county. A good many other
items Of business will be brought
up at the Melrose meeting but the
decision of the members to give au-
thority to the board to enter into a
loan contract and other types OF
contracts is probably the most i'm
portant. The meeting is scheduled
to be held at the city hall at 200
P. M, that day.
Since receiving notice that an al
lotment of $150,000 is available for
line construction in Stearns coun'

Farm Conference Attracts
Statewide Attention
Governor Benson Tells Farmers
That Conference Is
Theirs"

Farmers and leaders of Minneso-
ia farm organizations will gather
in the Chambers Of the House OF
Representatives, Monday, Oct. 4th,
to formulate an adequate state and
national farm program. The pro-
gram may be submitted to the u.
s. Senate Conference on farm
problems to be held in st. Paul lat
er in October.
The Minnesota Farm Conference
was called by Governor Benson,
partially as result Of what he
termed, exaggerated and vicious
reports being printed by the big
daily press about the so-called
prosperity of the Minnesota farm
er, which has resulted in continued
discrimination against him."
Invitations are extended to Of
ficers of all farm organizations in
Minnesota, and this week Governor
Benson asked the Commissioners of
Agriculture to extend a blanket in
vitation to all farmers who wished
to participate in drafting an ade-
quate farm program. In an inter-
view with the press, the Governor
stated:
"This conference will be theirs
(the farmers.) The program that
comes forth from the meeting will
be their program, and both Com
Ommodt and myself, will
DO everything within the power of
this administration to help the far
mer put over that program"
Governor Benson will speak at
the conference Monday morning at
10 o'clock. At the same time that
he meets with farmers from all
over Minnesota, a special train will
be speeding toward st. Paul, bear
ing the President of the United
States. According to an Associated
Press dispatch, President Roose-
welt will make a short talk in St.
Paul on the evening of the Mime
sofa Farm Conference.
The Conference was originally
scheduled to take place in the
State office auditorium, but due to
the vast amount Of interest that
has been displayed by hundreds Of
people throughout the state, the
place Of the conference has been
changed to the chamber Of the
House of Representatives in the
State Capitol where a larger crowd
can be accommodated.

NO HUNTING LICENSE
NEEDED BY OCCUPANT
OF OWN. LEASED LAND

In commenting on the opening of
the annual hunting season in Min
nesota shortly, Guy w. Cravens,
assistant conservation commission
er, called attention to the rights Of
land owners and occupants in
hunting.
"Any resident Of the state and
any member of such persons i'm
mediate family do not require a
hunting license to hunt on their
own land or land that is leased"
Mr.. Cravens said. "Such land, how
ever, must be occupied as a per-
manent abode.

not seem unreasonable, for in those
three states out Of total Of 157, 900
steel workers, 117,O0O own cars.
Conceding that this ratio will hold
good for the remainder Of the en-
ployes in steel in this country, there
are 100000 who drive their own
cars.
This Is certainly fine for the au-
tomobile manufacturers Of the
country, for this Is a potential res
ervoir, where they can dispose Of
their products, which would be diff
ficult to equal in any foreign mar
ket.
Steel workers are also not sup
posed to be the best paid and the
most prosperous class Of employees
in the country, therefore it can be
assumed this average will apply to
almost any other group OF skilled
employees.
The great middle class Of citizens
Of this nation Is the reservoir,
which must consume the greater
percentage, not only Of manufac-
tured products, but all other pro-
ducts as well. There is no other
group sufficiently large to make
dent in the grand total, as far as
consumption Is concerned.
Therefore, it is well for those,
who sit in high places in Washing
ton and the various state capitols,
to enact laws, which will preserve
the purchasing power Of this great
middle class Of citizens.
If this is curtailed the high STAN
dard Of living in America will be
reduced and the whole agricultural.

balance will be thrown out Of gear

With all the talk about security"
which is finding expression in new
laws and in the efforts of the trade
unions to obtain for their members
the exclusive right to work in many
industries, we hear very little about
the only way in which a man can
insure his own security in his en-
ployment and for old age. Social
ed security which rests upon the
changing vagaries Of politics, or
for which its beneficiary has to
pay by surrendering his personal
liberty and freedom Of choice to
labor leaders or others, Is pretty
sure to turn out to be insecurity In
the long run.
The one way in which any young
man can insure his own future Sc
curity Is to master some trade,
craft or profession so completely
that his services will always be In
demand. The highly skilled worker
is seldom out of a Job except by his
own choice. In the very depths OF
the depression few first rate men
were unemployed. It was the sec
ond-raters the ones who had never
developed their skills to the utmost
of their ability. who were dropped
from the payrolls.
Too much attention and effort
has been directed toward getting
more pay for less work for the less
competent, and not enough to
training young men in the arts and
crafts to become really skilled
workers. AS a result, the nations
industries are complaining that
there are not enough skilled work.

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
From Our Exchanges

Park Rapids Enterprise.-1f the
State of Minnesota wants to cut
the cost of its law-making body 1t
should first of all cut its size. A
body of legislators as large as Min
nesota's is unwieldy, Is a time
waster and tends to produce poor
laws. Minnesota's legislature Is con-
siderably larger than the average
state law making body. It's size
should be reduced in the interest
of both economy and efficiency.
Tax Reform Comes Slowly
The question Of taxation Is too
complex for one to expect sweep
ing changes to be made quickly.
Perhaps it is just as well that the
changes come slowly and that the
cumbersome tax machinery res
ponds rather better to moderate
changes from time to time than
from drastic revolutionary adjust
ments. If legislature were dis
posed to appoint a competent in
term commission to make a thor
ough study of the question, ana
then act on it's findings, better
system might result than comes
from reform born in the heat OF
legislative chaos. But that seems to
be too much to expect.-Northfield
