Fisherman's Lunch Enjoyed BY Fish

Grand Rapds-A member of the local high
school faculty Cecil Stensrud, lost part of his
lunch while fishing through the ice day recent
w. but at least he had the satisfaction of seeing the
lunch eaten Mr.. Stensrud had gone to lake some
distance from Grand Rapids spear northern pike in
fish house. No fish had appeared for some time, so
he brought forth his lunch to eat while waiting for
fish Just as he raising juicy fried pork chop to
his mouth large northern pike darted in after the
decoy hanging down in the water Startled the fisher
man reached for the spear at the same time dropping
his pork chop which fell into the water. He looked
after it, only the big fish turn from the wood
en- decoy seize the pork chop, and swim away as he
swallowed what probably the most appetizing
morsel he had found this winter.

You may have thought about it
too, but it seems peculiar to this
corner that a team that played
such superb basketball in early
season contests and that still plays
good ball on occasions cannot main
tain a pace that drives and drives.
Harveys quint this year is a troupe
of veterans who should go places,
but their efforts have not been par
ticularly favorable. Against Alex in
the first game they paced that
team until the last quarter and
suddenly could not cope with the
attack of the Alex crew. Against
Alex the second time they reached
the bottom of the heap when they
scored only 6 points. Even now on
the road to comeback they show
a surprising lack of good basket
ball at times. None would think so
much of it If this team hadn't
shown at times basketball that is
really the tops. But letdowns are
cause for inquiry. 1t takes four
quarter teams to win consistent
ball. This corner would hate to say

This so-called revival from a
slump Is not altogether the single
efforts of the team themselves.
Harvey saw the slump coming ear
ly in the season and in fact predict
ed it. But it was a change in the
style of practice that brought about
in a good measure this revival.
Things were too easy for them in
practice when they were playing
together against their reserves.

and storm and emergency is truly
impressive.
OF course our own experience
tells us that the appreciation and
friendship of these Scouts is some
thing of greatest worth and which
money alone cannot buy. DR.. West
points out that samplings prove
that millions of boys want to be
Scouts but have no leader.
Here is something to challenge
the serious thought and conscience
Of the best men in this community.
Here's a boy-centered movement
that builds good citizenship. Amer
lea needs such unselfish citizenship.
Boys want it. The one missing link
is "a man to lead. February is the
birthday month of Scouting. 1t is
fitting that our men should look
this need for leaders squarely in
the eye.-Duluth Free Press.

Child Marriages

Since the recent marriage of a 9-year-old Tennes-
see girl new impetus has been given to the move
ment for more strict state regulation of minimum
ages for those who seek to wed All but nine states
have statutory laws on the subject but the minimum
age varies from IA to IS in the girls and from
10 to 20 in the case of boys.
The common law minimum marriage age is IA
for boys and II years for girls Naturally law
prevent marriage if a license be obtained and
someone found who will perform the ceremony. In
the recent Tennessee the mother did not object
to the marriage of her 9year-old daughter
Miss Katherine F. Lenroot, chief of the Childrens
Bureau in Washington, believes there should be uni
form minimum marriage age of 16 for girls and
higher minimum for boys. She would make excep-
tons with judicial approval after proper investiga
tion but would in event favor marriage age less
than IA years for girls.
Under the present laws all the states require the
consent of parents to the marriage of girls under 1S
and in states consent must be obtained by those
under 21 In most states the consent of parents must
be obtained by boys under 81, although there
few exceptions.
Miss Lenroot recommends that there should be
strict provisions for verifying consent Of parents and
for period of delay between application for license
and its issuance.
February reminds us of two great leaders, Lin
coin and Washington-our two greatest presidents
Both of these patriots have left heritage to the
American people some advice which today is
timely when it was given years ago. Their fore
sight in founding and cementing the bonds of free
dom for the preservation of the greatest Republic
earth have brought safely through many dangers
to present day conditions Were it possible for Wash
many of the so-called reforms, and he would again
feel the urge to repeat the warning sounded in his
farewell address, when he said:
IF, in the opinion of the people, the dis
tribution, or modification, of the constitution
al power be in any particular wrong, let it be
corrected by amendment in the way the
Constitution designates-but let there be
change by usurpaton."
Subtle attacks upon those who attempt to serve
the community fairly and honestly are base and de-
testabe Such attacks reflect the ignorance of people
who make them.

there Is nothing wrong with his arm
and the best guess is that he will
be his old self in 1887.
The largest crowd ever to see a
wrestling match in Minneapolis
will pay more money than a wrest-
ling match has ever drawn to
watch Bronko Nagurski, one time
football star at Minnesota, wrestle
Dick Raines "a Texas COW hand, if
the promoters can make the match.
More than 5000 fans will pay in the
neighborhood of $1,000 for this
choice number in the grunt and
growl routine.
The reason? Well, Dick Raines
has become the most hated athlete
ever to appear in Minneapolis. His
drawing power is based on the
fans eagerness to see him severe
ly punished. Of all the wrestling
villains who have appeared in Min
neapolis, Raines has won top place
and in wrestling, of course, there
must be villain before there can
be large gate receipts. It's part Of
the racket.
Nagurski, on the other hand, Is
the most popular hero. Fans believe
the big Bronko will tear Raines
apart and they all will be there to
see the deed done.
Under the sponsorship of the
Minneapolis journal world
championship billiard match is in
progress in Minneapolis this week.
Jake Schaefer and Willie Hoppe,
two of the greatest billiard players
of all time, will play challenge
round for the worlds 1872 cham
pionship which is now held by
Schaefer.
This is new game combining
the best features of the old balkline
game and the more modern three
cushion game. It is said to be the
coming fad in billiards ;. the game
in which all future major champ
ionships will be played.

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
Fill Up The Bins
From Our Exchanges

Fill up the storage bins depict
ed by two years of drouth," is the
order emanating from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. No mat
ter what may be said of the cur
tailment of production in the past,
it is now admitted that If this
country runs into one more season
of drouth and crop shortages, con-
ditions are going to be extremely
serious.
Local people may not be aware
that even now a shortage of some
foodstuffs exists, but they are due
to find it out in a short time
through increased prices. Meat pro-
ducts are sure to rise. You can't
feed hogs 75-cent corn and still sell
them for what they brought when
corn was a quarter a bushel. With
pastures depleted after two seasons
of drouth, there is also a shortage
of all other kinds Of livestock.
From the present indications food
prices are due for a sharp upturn
as the year advances, for it will be
many months until another harvest
can be granted. That's something to
think about, here on the eve of an
other planting season. Every dollar
and every hour spent in raising
foodstuffs in the home garden will
be money and time well invested.
The farmer who looks ahead and
takes advantage of the situation
will also benefit by his foresight

Tense of the Supreme Court and in

the fundamental structure of our

He wisely pointed out that this Is
not the first time that the Supreme

that these criticisms have come
