White Hope Era
FOreca st Wit h
Louis Victory

nLD-TIMERS who saw Joe Louis
~ polish off Max Schmeling In
two minutes and fifteen seconds in
their recent championship fight in
New York are predicting that an
other open season for White Hopes
looms ahead-a season reminiscent
Of the almost forgotten days OF .
generation ago when Carl Morris,
Jim Flynn, Luther Mccarthy, Frank
Moran and Jess willard were
crowding their way up for a chance
at the heavyweight belt which dusky
Jack Johnson had won from Jim
Jeffries.
But it's going to take a mighty
good man to give Joe any compe-
tition, on the basis of his sensational
knockout of the crafty Schmeling.
From all appearances he is going
to be the top-man heavyweight for
a number of years to come. There
was considerable doubt about that
before the fight, particularly in view
of his knockout in 1886 by Schmel-
ing and his Indifferent showing q
while back against the mediocre
Tommy Farr.
Joe showed he was a great cham
piOn, though, and finally made good
the predictions made about his fistic
genius two years ago when he was
knocking all opposition cold and be-
fore he met Schmeling the first
time.
Schmeling wasn't in Louis fight
this time. It was a massacre from
the start. Louis smothered the pux-
zled German with fists and had him
on the canvas almost as soon as
the fight started. He clubbed him
down twice more before the fight
was stopped. The kidney punch
which Max said disabled him and
which necessitated his having hos
pital treatment afterward for a
broken vertebra was delivered after
Louis had rocked Max with blows
to the head.

Night Clubs Out

Baer claims he is in condition
and that he will train faithfully and
this seems to be borne out by the
facts. He has cut out the night club
stuff since his marriage and the
birth of his son. His decisive vic
tory over Tommy Farr of England,
more decisive than Louis scored
over Farr, indicates he is telling
the truth. He is only twenty-nine
years old. When he's right he can
hit hard enough to knock anybody
out.

Origin Of International Red eros

Origin of International Red Cross
The idea which is associated with
the Red Cross had its origin in a
publication of Henri Dunant's at
Geneva in 1852. He had witnessed
the bloodshed in the Italian war
and gave an account of the wounded
left dying on the field for lack OF
medical care. An international con-
vention was called in Geneva IN
1853 and there the fundamental
principles of the Red Cross were
laid down. After overcoming enor-
nous difficulties the Swiss Federat-
ed council was induced to call a
diplomatic council. On August 3,
1854, the Geneva convention, So
called, laid down certain principles
to which almost all countries now
adhere.

Mr.. M. A. Hauser, who has spent
80 years in experiment work on the

PUBLIC PURSE NOT
ROTTOMuESS

From time immemorial, grand
juries have been a law unto them
selves, to investigate and report on
anything "for the good of the ord
err" It was therefore bound to hap
pen sooner or later, and finally it
has happened: a grand jury in Min
neapolis has warned the city that it
is going bankrupt on relief, that re-
lief funds must be raised by taxa
ton rather than by bond issues, and
that relief commitments must he
cut rigidly. Such statements are
not politics-just common sense.
City, state and country are all head
ed the same way. If an attempt is
made to raise the money by levying

for women and children to work in
the fields, able-bodied men were be-
ing allowed to loaf in transient
camps and the state was spending
$40 a month for their support.
MANY of you will recall the lum-
berjacks' strike at Cloquet. Radi-
cal, left-wing extremists blocked
the highways and prevented the
farmers from bringing in the pulp
wood upon which many depended
for their main crop. The state
ignored their requests for relief
from this situation until violence
broke out and the farmers virtually
rose in mass and demanded action.
BY the time the strike was settled,
most of the season was gone. Farm
ers in Clearwater county alone, I
was told the other day, lost $4,000
as a result. Huge quantities of
pulp wood were shipped in from
Canada.
1.-THE state later took the lumber
jacks to a transient camp on the
North Shore and supported them
there on tax funds, collected in part
from the very farmers they had de-
prived of a chance to make a liv-
ing. Finally the lumberjacks went
on strike against the superintendent
of the camp because they objected
to carrying their own water and
cutting their own wood. They de-
manded coal and insisted on having
a water supply that required no
labor"
Relief burdens bear heavily on
farmers, Stassen said, and every eff
fort should be made to conserve re-
lief funds.
Stassen said that the present
state administration has stirred up
labor disputes and melted violence.
Among recent disputes that have
disrupted the progress Of business
and employment, he referred to the
strike against the Land o. Lakes,
precipitated by demands of unions
for increased pay, and called atten-
ton to the hardships that may be
visited upon farmers by such dis
turbances. He said Minnesota needs
a sound labor relations act, with
a required waiting period before a
strike can go into effect, and that
steps must be taken to settle such
disputes amicably if the state is to
prosper.

Locals Defeated
Evansville Thursday
First Win In Two Years
Results In Score of 8
to 4 on Local Field

A third inning rally for the high
school baseballers put them on the
winning trail last Thursday when
they won the return encounter with
Evansville to 4, their first win in
two years.
Coming back, after two years in
a tough climb, the boys played
heads up ball to win over Evans
Vile, after that club had defeated
them II to 6 in the seasons opener,
three weeks ago.
Hits for the clubs were about ev-
en- with something like eight apiece.
Soltau, moundman for the locals,
pitched a tight ball game, kept the
hits scattered. The infield backed
him up, cut their error ratio to a
minimum.
Evansville scored first with a sin
gle run, but by the third inning the
locals burst into rally that scored
five runs to put them to 7 to 1
lead. Maintaining that healthy
margin until the fifth, the boys saw
Evansville rally driving in three
runs before the side was retired.
Heavy on the stick were catcher
Ethun and infielder Pangburn, who
collected two hits apiece, in the best
hitting spree the Harveymen have
enjoyed. It was against these
Evansville chuckers that the boys
were able to grab only three hits
in the first game this year.
Rainouts have disrupte d the
schedule, cramped the lads for play
ing time. A washed out game with
Glenwood was played last evening,
Wednesday. This afternoon, Thurs
day, Brandon makes a return trip
to this diamond to wind up home
