well election is past and hunting

closed picture tells the story. This
fish weighed % pounds, was AZ inches
long and 81 inches around the largest

January. I'll admit it was female
but 1 did not count the eggs How
ever, if it had spawned the suckers
would have eaten the most of them.
SIN this fish were two fish 10 inches
long, IL perch two inches long and
la few crappies which she had for
dessert; in all over two pounds of
fish. / am told that fish eats only
every other day, so we will say one
pound a day, or 365 pounds a year
and a fish will gain a pound a year,
making this fish about 20 years of
age. Then figuring for yourself, you
will find that it ate 1900 pounds of

International
News Review
By GEORG STRANDvOLD

Last week Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain and Premier Edouard
Daladier, seconded by their foreign
ministers, Lord Halifax and Georges
Bonnet, met in Paris to discuss what
they euphemistically call, the peace
of Europe; their conference was one
of the ramifications of the meeting
September 20 at Munich where Cham
berlain and Daladier, together with
Hitler and Mussolini, agreed to mu-
tilate Czechoslovakia.
1t must be recalled that Chamber
lain, ever since he became British
prime minister, has been guided by
the obsession that European peace is
predicated on close and friendly CO.
operation between dictatorship and
democracy; his ultimate goal is the
establishment of a four-power agree
ment designed to preserve peace,
and that goal is to be pursued at
all costs, even though the exactly
similar treaty between exactly the
same four powers has existed since
1888.
Chamberlain believes firmly that a
solid foundation was laid at Munich,
so now he continues to build; the
conversation with Daladier was the
second step; a third is scheduled for
the latter part of January, 1899, when
he will proceed to Rome, and then, it
is limited, new conferences with Hit
Ter will follow.
Peace With Teeth.
AS may be remembered-there al
ready is in existence an Anglo-French
treaty of amity so strongly worded
that it amounts, practically speaking,
to an alliance. The most recent Paris
conversations did not go beyond that
point except to the extent that agree
ment was reached concerning the or
ganization of a combined Anglo
French air fleet so overpowering that
it could defy any combination of
hostile nations. While Chamberlain
and Daladier reaffirmed their de-
cision to maintain peace, they made
it very clear that it must be an
armed peace-a peace with teeth in
it. And while they are anxiously
soliciting the friendship of Germany
and Italy, they are, at the same time,
actively arming against these pro-
spective allies. So much for the
good faith of great-power diplomats!

Featured This Year

Special interest is being shown in
portraits of the four heroes which APP
pear on each sheet of Christmas Seals
this year who have played leading
roles in the progress made in bring

are:
DR.. Rene T. Laenne, French physi-

for doctors to distinguish sounds in
the chest DR.. Robert Koch, Ger
man physician who in 1882 discov-
cred the germ that causes tuber-

Trudeau, American physician, who in
1885 established modern sanatorium
treatment of tuberculosis in the
United States at Saranec, N. Y, and
Einar Holboell, postal clerk, Copen-
hagen, Denmark, who in 1904 intro
duced the idea of selling special
Christmas stamp to build a hospital
for tuberculosis children.
The idea was adopted in this coun-
try in 1907 which made possible an
organized fight against tuberculosis
and has reached into every corner
of the United States and has saved
millions of lives. Minnesota has gone
forward until now it is the leading
state in the fight against this durable
disease. Pine county ranks 35th and
