Rumors that flew about the street
that Melrose and Sauk Centre
would meet in a post-season foot

neatly erroneous. In the first in

such a proposal. :. Some guy had

that athletic relations Of the towns
have read like the tale of two cities,
such relations are now temporarily

PUBLIC OPINION
Cooperative Credit Unions, Their
Origin, History and Place I'm To-
days Economic Structure
(By Ferdinand Wiener)
The Middle Ages are often held
up before us as the Dark Ages, as
a period when the social plane was
at low level. 1t is true that our
present day sciences had not vet
been developed to any large extent,
however science alone does not de-
note social and spiritual progress.
Today, science has reached great
heights, yet with all this, the world
is suffering from economic and
social depression.
The 18th century was period of
the Middle Ages that will give one
a great deal Of respect for, since
looking at it more closely, we find
a very high standard of social or
ganization. Men were classified in
each nation into guilds, and the
family, and not the individual was
looked upon as the unit of state
These guilds co-operated with each
other for the benefit Of national
welfare, as well as for their par
ticular members.
Most historians have emphasized
upon the economic value Of the
guilds, although the spiritual value
or background has escaped the at
tention Of most writer's.
Everything was organized upon
the Christian ideal of society. How
ever after the 18th century, there
was a disintegration, which be-
came very noticeable with the ad-
vent of the 10th century. Pagan
philosophy and pagan laws, also
pagan usury crept in, working
havoc. Unbridled individualism,
greedy avaricious, and lientious en-
shaved society with the practice of
, usury. although for centuries
Christian churchman fought vigor-
ously against 1t. The great land
owners, together with members of
the ruling class, began to concern
themselves with obtaining more
money and power, at the expense of
laborers, farmers, the professional
class, the religious and the service
class.
Usury and fraud was found
everywhere in commerce and
wealth. Shakespeares Merchant
of Venice" no doubt was written
with an inspiration from the COM
mercial history of Florence and
Venice, which being chief centers OF
trade, usury and fraud flourished
at its worst. In Florence, we find
writer's, preachers and patriots
and legislators agreeing that usury
was at the head of all crimes, and
attributing many other evils to 1t
Money lenders were prohibited ir
1920 from collecting more than x
percent interest, but there WAS nc
improvement. AS time went or
matters grew worse.
Finally, in the latter half of the
18th century, the Franciscan monks
took the reform in hand, with the
sanction of the Apostolic See. Be-

they emerged as a well-balanced
ball club. Then hit the doldrums
against Glenwood; and put them
selves back together against Alex.
=. Orchids to these lads. /.
When they got beat they got beat
bad. But the surprising thing is
that they scored even on teams by
whom they were defeated. Only
Long Prairie and Alex-themselves
held scoreless-were able to hold
the Sauk Centre crew from cross
ing the goal. -.
OF the eleven men playing Friday
only Moore and Potter return.
Berggreen, bedfast in this game,
will be back too. But nine men
were seniors: Captain Ethun, Egan,
Kringen, Pangburn, Johnson, Stef-
fes, Kuefler, Rasmussen, and Coke
ley. 4. And they deserve a hand.
Ethun and Egan and Cokeley are
old men on the scene. Around them
Harvey built his club. Egan, a
power on the line, rounded out a
four year term. Ethun moved to
the list of head ground gamers;
Cokeley, fiery little spark, was in
strumental in converting extra
points throughout the season. (.
Kringen and Pangburn moved into
the backfield. Awkward, uncertain
in their early games, Pangburn de-
veloped Into one Of the finest punt
ers this season. Kringen was vastly
important in maneuvering that for
ward lateral play. +. Johnson,
Steffes, and Kuefler got their
chance when injuries moved Zeig-
ler and others out of the lineup.
They snatched onto positions and
held them against all comers for
the rest of the season. Then there's
Rasmussen at end and Moore at
tackle, dependable boys.
Big, near 2OO-pound Berg
green at center developed into
a good man. Then his illness
gave Potter his chance. Step
ping into the shoes that looked
too big, Potter crowded the toes
on the boot with his perform
ance Friday night. And then
there's sophomore Arneson. He's
another that moved into the
line on a pinch and squeezed
so hard on opposition to his
bracket he held 1t until q
shoulder injury forced him out
Of the last three games. He'll
be back next year. So we
kiss 'em goodby until another
season rolls around.
One more thing. Harvey this year
developed a play that befuddled
every team-and is probably one Of
the greatest plays he introduced
here. It was forward-lateral
combination that featured Kringen,
Pangburn, and Ethun. Ethun play
ed out to receive the lateral. Some
times Rasmussen came to take
Pangburn's place receiving the
short forward. But the thing
was good for at least twice against
every team they played. That talks
Of good stuff for any play. -.

every rock,
yea even a small bounder, by its
Christian name and tell an In
teresting legend as to how the
landmarks came into being. His
knowledge of watercraft was q
heritage from father Fletcher,
who was a great man in his day
on the same historic Potomac.
Joe's plan for our rocktish
trip was to go UP to turkey
Foot about midway between
Chain Bridge and Little Falls
and there wait until the change
of tide. The water was a little
better than half spent as we
reached our location and Joe was
of the opinion that little action
would be had with the fish I'M
til the tide had fully receded. Joe
was right, 100 per cent. for it
was not until the tide started TO
climb from its low mark that the
stripers began to hit.
We caught 16 rock that ran
from one to three and a hall
pounds and q more gallant fish
never swan in our waters than
the striper when taken on light
tackle. We were well supplied
with bloodworms and herring.
During the lull Of tide waiting
Joe slipped up the rocky shore
and with snag hooks took 40 her
ring that we might have a fresh
supply Of bait when the fish
started to feed.
HERRING GILL BAIT
The only portion Of the her
ring we used was the gills and
how the rock really tore into the
lure. It was either a question
Of getting the fish or the fish
getting the bait. We fished
single hooked and when the rock
struck and we missed it was a
foregone conclusion that the
hook was entirely stripped.
Our entire catch was made IN
something less than two hours
and If time had permitted we
really believe that our count
could have been doubled, so
numerous were the fish.
Every angler knowing the
least about the striper's habits
had some sort Of q showing and
those more experienced had a
banner day. Chester slim"
Mullen, a man of might, rowed
his boat close to Sunken Rock,
in the fast water. and took five
beauties, all going around two
pounds. His method Of attack
was q bloodworm baited hook
with spinner.
Water conditions are now
ideal and early morning and
late afternoon tides for the bal
ance Of the week, certainly
should bring excellent results.
If you are rockfish inclined there
is no better opportunity than
the present.
The Del-Mar.Va Peninsula Is
certainly flourishing from the
anglers standpoint. We received
a letter Tuesday, from E. ].
Doughty, jr., of oyster, Va, and
he said that fishing is going at
midseason height.
Oyster is situated just three
miles up from Cape Charles. on
the ocean side, where there Is
now in progress q channel bass
tournament. The best bass catch,
80 far, has gone to Richard
Woodington and the missuS, who
landed eight fish going from 40
to "a pounds. The fish were
taken under the captaincy Of
Milton Doughty. flying the flag
Of the Mayflower. Capt. Daniel
Nelson also reported top-notch
catch made by Seaton Milton
and E. Veasley, of Pokomoke
City; Md. This party had 9 bass,
81 trout and % kings. Capts.
George Lewis and AShby Nelson
also sent word that they have
taken upwards to 100 trout daily.
Ocean City, Md, has broken

trout are being taken in the surf
along F'OXhall Level.

put on a three minute sketch portray
ing the outstanding work of the club
for the year. Announcement was
made of the Birthday Banquet to be
held Friday evening, February twen-
ty-fifth. 1t was voted to contribute
