entertainment. Show started at 8
o'clock and was through at 9:45. The
Stassen rally started at GAS o'clock
and was through at 1880. Then
there was the Sportsmens basket
social, followed by the dance. The
social helped the boys to defray the
seasons loss on the baseball games.
Tuesday evening was regular
Sportsmens meeting and a card party
was given. This too, was to help
defray the baseball loss. A nice
sum was realized and fine evenings
entertainment was had.
Election was tame enough. A
heavy vote turned out but a few were
not in for one reason or other.
Mrs. Albrecht Petersen and her son,
Arno, Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Petersen
of Los Angeles, Calf, Mrs. Emil Pc
tersen and daughter, Sylvia, and son,
Jack, were dinner guests at the J. H.

the past two weeks and are on their
way to Detroit, Mich, where they
will drive two new cars, taking them
back to California The older folks
in these parts will remember the
Petersens as having lived here up to
about 18 years ago and will remem-
Der Mrs. Otto Petersen as May Be-
LANCER. They report Albert Belanger
as feeling fine and working every
day. He is expected to come back
for visit soon.
Hunting season is on again. Hunt

thought best and it is hoped that the
best men were elected and that they
will be honest, efficient and fair.
Now that it is all over, what good
did mudslinging do either side?

IN MEMORIAM

BECKSTROM-In loving memory of
our wife and mother who passed
away two years ago today, Novem-
Der 6, 1886.
Before our eyes she faded
Growing weaker every day;
Doing all we could to save her,
Until God took her away.
The moon and stars are shining,
Upon a lonely grave,
Where sleeps our wife and mother
We loved but could not save.
Sadly missed by husband, children
and grandchildren.

 All Roads Lead To Prague
 Roughly the republic is the size of Illinois. With 1,750 miles Of frontier to defend, it's units must shuttle swiftly. Prague is the cen ter of the spider web, from which concrete highways and railroads ra- diate to the borders.
 The army's peacetime strength is 30O,000 men. Observers believe the Czechs could put 900,000 men in service in one week.
 The Czechs, masters of the tech nioue of machinery, have been arn.s peddlers to the world for generations. Informed opinion is that no army today has better equipment or a greater storehouse of ammunition.
 Skoda employs 40000 men in eight factories. Courteous as the foreign office was. I could not break into a Skoda plant. Sixty five other factories in this amazing nation of 15o00,O00 population of many tongues are devoted entirely to the making of war equipment.

THE LESSON OF 1914

The role America plays in the present Czechoslovakian affair is |" considered far greater than the meager part it had prior to the outbreak of the World War in 1914. Quantities of diplomatic cores pondenee as we'll as comment of diplomatic officials here discloses that European nations paid little attention in 1914 to any part the U. s. might play in the World War. Only after the nations, much to their seeming surprise, discovered that the war was likely to last years and years instead of few months, did they start tapping the U. s. reservoir of resources.
 There are no answers to be ob- ta1ned here as to what the U. S. would do in event of big European war simply because the answer is not known. Some suspect that, as England reiterates, it would be hard to determine how widely the con- flagration might spread. Others in- sist that the burnt nation avoids the fire and that the U. s. was ade- quately burned in the World War. to no great purpose.
 One thing is certain, future European and present Asiatic wars already have cost the country plenty. Remember our expanding army? and the last congress bil- lion dollar navy bill?

Under it the President is at liberty to per init American ships to carry food and certain raw materials to war ring nations. In event of war and m effective British blockade of German ports would the President permit American ships to pour needed supplies into French and English ports? England already has made known publicly it hopes for revision of the neutrality act to make certain it can tap the Am ? erlcan market in an emergency. Again it is felt certain here that foreign offices are asking ques- tions about possible changes, both in American sentiment and in Am erican legislation.
