The Chinese are frightfully out
armed. he pointed out. and for the
fact that they are better marksmen
and better filters as q group than
the Japs, their cause would be al
most lost. In the north the situation
does look decidedly in Japan's Ia

its finest experiment" was his only
comment regarding civilian ami
hilation in North China"
Many newspaper reports In this
country can be discounted about
half, he said, particularly II they
are releases from the Domei, jan
anese propaganda news agency.
The Domei is habitually afflicted
with an aversion to color up the
numbers Of casualties revealing
only surprisingly small amounts OF
Japanese wounded or killed.
Zone has to marvel at the effic-
iency Of the Japanese" he said. To
their base at Tangku come every
bit of their supplies from Japan.

work like clockwork, and they push

he pointed out, that they have the

Norbert Nathe Re-
turned from Alaska

IF you want to take a real trip
go to Alaska" Norbert Nathe was
able to worm into the conversation
in between arm pumping and ra-
pid fire assault of questions, upon
his return from Anchorage, Alas
ka
Like it? Well, he plans that next
spring after a winter in the States
he'll return to the continental pos
session of Uncle Sam He returned
to this city Tuesday, after an alb
sence of more than two years, and
is at the home of his mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Nathe and family.
Its a hunters paradise" sour
dough Nathe said as the boys
slung hunting questions in his gen.
eral direction. "A black bear there
is as common as cold" he said.
Last year he went after moose, and
now he's pointing for a kodiak or
brown bear or possibly a fleet
footed Alaskan sheep. There arc
plenty of ducks and geese for the
hunter, too, he said.
OF the Matanuska Colony, where
a number of Minnesota residents
were transported in the pioneering
project, he said, They're still max
ing history" They've really made
progress in the Valley though, and
most of the colonists are satisfied
with their lot. Some, who at early
discouragements, returned to the
States, have later begged to be re-
admitted to the Colony. When Norb
first went to Alaska, he was in
Palmer, and it's an interesting side
light that the boys had to cut each
others hair since there was no bar.
Der there at that time.
The high cost of living really
reaches the acme there, for NorD
pointed out that 1t costs about
double over costs here in Minneso-
ia. Milk, for instance, is 25 cents a
quart, though most foodstuffs are
not that much out Of line. Costs OF
transportation to the distant point
are blamed for the high prices.
Wages, however, are corresponding
ly higher to take up the slack.
The country is still in pioneering
stages, he pointed out. There is
only one government operated rail-
road, highway mileage in the coun-
try is scant. For next year the out
look was good, and he said that in
Anchorage alone As houses had
been built in the past year. Real
estate prices were booming.

GOOD SKATING
PARK ASSURED

A three-way set up assures Sank
Centre Of proper facilities for skat-
ing this winter in one of the larg-
est Of winter programs, details OF
plans showed.
City officials, school heads, and
WPA recreational leaders are link
ed in this triumvirate of interests
to provide the "old skating rink
for the skaters of this community
on the site Of the school play
grounds. Even as skaters began to
clamor that someone get to work
on the project came the announce
ment that the interests had united
to provide the rink.
In this office the other day Don
Campbell, WPA supervisor in a
number Of adjacent districts, spoke
for the recreational department,
thanking the school and the city
for the fine cooperation in laying
plans for the rink.
According to a ground work OF
plans laid the city will furnish four
or five men to the recreational
leaders, Clarence Dickson and Ray
Steir, to help in maintenance. The
school is furnishing the site for
the rink, and water is to be a part
of the City's contribution, accord
ing to the announcement. On top
of that arrangements are being
made to light the rink to insure
ample time for everyone to skate.
A warming house, too, may be pro-
vided. Work is to be started I'M
mediately in shaping the banks,
and as soon as good freezing
weather Is available, the top soil
will be frozen as base
It is the plan Of WPA leaders to
supervise a good deal Of the skat-
ing. There will be periods for hook
ey, broomball, and a new game,
called skate ball, will be released
from the recreational offices. It Is
Of interest to note the game origin
ated in Litchfield, and has been ap-
proved by national headquarters.

rangement in the Juvenile room Is
being made with the shelves re-
moved from the center of the room
and PLACID around the room. Mount
ed on top of the shelves will be a

In recent newspaper articles
Sank Centre and Paynesville were
omitted from the trade area of
Benton and Stearns counties, under
the code of fair competition for the
barber trade. This led people to be-
lieve that the local BARRIERS were
not taking part in the program as
announced by Governor Benson,
and which went into effect Novem-
Der LIST.
The supposition that the BARRIERS
of Sank Centre had not entered in
to the fair trade agreement was
erroneous, for we were informed
that the local BARRIERS are men,
bers of the Douglas-Pope trade
area. Under this agreement, (Which
becomes compulsory after IS per-
cent of the tradesmen of the area
have signed up) local BARRIERS have
instituted a new price list.
The agreement provides that no
barber employe shall be paid at
less than the rate Of $18 per week
for "a hours per week, plus a 60
percent commission on the gross
income brought in by the employee
which is in excess of the $28 per
week.
No apprestice shall be employed
and paid less than SIS per week in
a 81 hour week, plus 60 per cent OF
the gross income from such an ap-
prentice over and above SIS per
| week.
No employee shall work or be
| permitted to work more than 81
hours per week, nor shall he work
on Sundays or holidays speci-
fled. BARRIERS shall always finish
serving all patrons who are in the
shop prior to closing time.
The weekly hours of operation
for any shop in municipalities of
less than 1900 population will total
81, and in municipalities Of more
than 1900 will total ga. Barber
shops can open not before a. m,
nor close later than 6 p. m, except

WITH DELAY ON MANY PROJECTS
Especial to The Citizen,


MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 29.-Arno B.
Cammerer, director of National
Park Service of Washington, D.

the Everglades National Park
Commission and Association early
last week that Florida was not
alone in the obstacles experienced
in her national park project.

duction of w. w. Thompson, ex-
ecutive under whom the Mann

veloped. had plenty of grief but
they carried a torch and kept it
burning, and / believe their prof.
ect is assured and viii be finish

Although three national park
projects. which. include Shenan-
doah in Virginia, Great Smoky
Mountains in Tennessee and
North Carolina and Mammoth
Cave in Kentucky, were authoriz-
ed by congressional enabling act
in 1922, Shenandoah, Mr.. Cam

Cave still has an additional area
to be acquired.

look at these other projects and

1t is the opinion of Mr.. Cam

two campaigns, one to raise the
money within the state for land

COLLEGE STARS
BEATEN BY HIGH
SCHOOL VARSITY
FELLOWSHIP CLUB EKEs OUT
1917 VICTORY FROM PIN
DER STARS IN CITY LEAGUE
GAME

The High School did it last
night against the Key West Col
lege All Stars.
After wild first-half in which
the High School was throwing its
passes in all directions, the prep
pies finally got down under the
throws and made brilliant breaks
toward the basket to mark up
their points. Bullet throws by j.
v. Woodson from one side of the
court to the other where DOM
enech was waiting to flash away
with the catch featured the con-
test. Domenech got three field
goals and a foul goal for seven
points, but J. Y. Weodson marked
up ten points with pretty popping
away at the basket from behind
the foul circle. es91sb ge1
The College boys got in a rut
soon after the High School started
connecting with their passes. Big
Ed Woodson, playing a bouncing
type of game dropped four bas-
kets for an eight-point total to
lead his five. Bobby Dopp, usual
shooting star, was runner-up with
a meagre seven points.
In a nig:ltcap game, the Pinder
Stars pulled a surprise in holding
the veteran Fellowship Club to a
1917 score.
Edwin Sweeting, letting loose
the ball from all sides of the
court and at all angles. dropped
seven amazing baskets for a high
point total of fourteen. One 9TH
er basket was made by his team,
and that was by his brother, w.
Sweeting. o. Recio sank the only
foul goal for the Stars.
After trailing the entire game,
the club woke up at the end and
went into the lead with a basket
by Freddie Carbonen and a foul
point by Poly Artman, which de-
cided the game.
Slow and logey after a long lay
off, the Fellowship boys couldn't
get rid of the ball fast enough to
start shooting. High man for
them was Poly Artman with only
seven points. Carbonell and Yates
with four points apiece were run
ners-up.

give ample funds for achievement
of this Park"
The Everglades National Park
Commission executive chairman,
G. o. Palmer, said on taking the
floor, Eve are going to look to
Mr.. Cammerer as the leading
spirit in this movement and if he
does half as much for the Ever
glades National Park as he has
done for other projects of its kind,
/ believe that within the next
two years it win be an establish
ed fact"
There has been some criticism
because the state of Florida has
stopped or held up the-appropria-
ton of $87, 760 to the Everglades
National Park Commission" he
continued, but it is my belief
that when Governor Cone has
completed appointing members of
the Commission there viii be suf-
ficient funds in the state treasury
to go ahead with this work"
In the meantime we are COM
pleting the abstract work. Dade
county is 80 percent complete
and Monroe and Collier counties
are go percent finished. Within
four or five months the entire
area will have been distracted.
IF you have any doubt as to
how the governor feels on this
matter, I have letter from him
