Players Back Their Live Mounts As Dew And Taylor Race For Riding Championship
Bay Meadows Ace Has Slight. Lead In Stretch Run
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

Earl Dew, baby-faced Iowa farm boy, and Walter L. Taylor, not long ago Houston newsboy, are racing it out for the 1940 riding cham pionship of America.
 Dew, now starring at Bay Mea- dows, outside of San Francisco, has

VERRIKERS GAIN A
 BIG BOWLING EDGE

Verriker Painters picked up plen- ty of margin last night in Mercan- tile League competition when it put over a clean sweep on Mohican Markets, winning all three games, while the runner-up Metros dropped all three games to the Brock-Hall combine.
 Jimmy Serendis 148 was good for high single in the Mohican lineup while Lanese just missed 400 set with 399. Verriker Paint won high team single and total honors with 626 and 1924. Scores:

Walter l.. Tayl0l Joseph E. Widen CT and others at Bowie. Because they have the touch and stay wideawake, Dew and Taylor are getting more than their share of live horses.
 Players back their mounts with the result that they usually are favorites, although both did well with long shots before attracting too much attention. Taylor booted in five horses at juicy prices in one afternoon.
 Dew has never been farther east than Cleveland's Thistle Down and Detroit's Fair Grounds. Taylor has never ridden on the Pacific coast. DEW RIDES IN SANTA ONITA STAKES FOR LOUIS B. MAYER
 Both Dew and Taylor are 20. Neither is likely to have to resort to excessive dieting because of a weight problem. Dew comes in at 108. His father weighed 112, his mother 90. Taylor's riding weight is 107.
 Dew, or what there is of him, was raised on a 160-acre corn patch near Sac City, Ia. His dad took 8 few weeks cue each summer to race horses at county fairs. Young Dew rode them. After having Dew gallop his horses in training at Sac City, T. E. Loomis took the boy to Omaha, where he caught the eye of Earl Beezley.
 Dew rode Hot Cinders, his first winner on a recognized track, May 2S, 1888. He was aboard 112 win ners in 1889.
 Beezley took Dew east after he had turned in 26 victories at Cali ente alone last spring.
 Dew will ride stake engagements for Louis B. Mayer at Santa Anita this winter but will also continue to appear in the Beezley silks if his mentor decides to race his horses at Albany, the new track in north ern California.
 TAYLOR OBTAINED FLYING START AT NEW ORLEANS
 Taylor has had 1881 mounts this year as this is printed. He rode his first winner at New Or leans. Feb. 2S, 1889. He was the champion apprentice of last year and finished fourth among all jockeys.
 He obtained flying start at New Orleans last winter by riding more than twice as many winners as his nearest competitor at the old Fair Grounds. He continued his success in the New England.
 The formula of both boys is that of every successful rider.
 They don't use a horse up too much in the eraly goirg have something left for the wire. They save all the ground possible.
 They make only one move |. not two or three. They realize they can't call on thoroughbred for his best at the half mile, and then call again in the stretch and get his best.
 They give their mounts an op- portunity to take secord breath and to make the one run when 1t counts most.
 They know horse can't refill his lungs while travelling at maximum speed, and minimize the rsik of his stopping at point where he should becoming on.
 Earl Dew and Walter L. Taylor are young riders with balance and are not afraid to take a chance.
 That is why they are fighting it out for the riding championship.

GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE ON
THIS FOOD STAMP PLAN
Park Region EchO)

We note that practically the whole
press of Minnesota approves of the
food stamp plan for relief clients and
wants it extended to every county in
Minnesota. All of them give Gov
ernor Stassen praise for the idea.
But we thought this was a New Deal
idea! Franklin D. Roosevelt would
be greatly surprised to learn that it
is the governor of Minnesota who is
entitled to the credit for distributing
surplus food products at groceries
by the food stamp plan, instead of
through the relief agencies. FDR has
been supposing that that idea came
from his New Dealers at Washington,
before Governor Stassen ever even
dreamed of such a thing.
AS matter of fact, if Republican
Congressman had their way there
would be no money for the food stamp
plan next year. They voted it down
in the House, and are still fighting it
in conference committee between
Senate and House.

tened to more discussions of public
events on the radio than their fathers
and mothers. Illiteracy has disap-
peared in this free America. They
will be interested because for many
of them it has not been easy to find
the thing they want to do. In the
days of the pioneers if a young man
could not find job at home he could
always go west and get himself piece
of land. But today there are no more
wilderness frontiers, but there are
other frontiers that research, science
and invention have opened. These
have provided new services for man.
kind. Young people have been fitted
by education and training to pro-
vide these services. So youth comes
on full of hope and cheering. 1t is
not afraid of the challenge.

THE TOLL OF BLITZKRIEG
(St. Paul DiSpatch)

The first insight into the CHASTITY
toll of this new kind of warfare was
given when the estimate of 100000
Dutch killed was issued. Now comes
the announcement that possibly $780,
900 casualties, killed and wounded,
were suffered by the Belgian army
before King Leopold gave up. In
Berlin it is acknowledged that the
losses of the German army have been
heavy. The number is not given, but
considering the scale of the German
offensive and the Belgian and Dutch
estimates on their side, it must be
terrifying. Even assuming that the
offense has suffered less in this type
of warfare than the Belgian and
Dutch defenders, the German casu-
atty list cannot be less than half a
million and may be far greater than
that.
If such a horror permits of any
consolation, it is that war on this
scale cannot be long prosecuted. Were
the war to continue at this pace,
this summer would surely see the
exhaustion of one or both sides. 1t
is possible that after the race for the
channel ports has been won, the Ger
man army will pause, while Hitler
renews his diplomatic offensive for a
victorious peace settlement. Or he
might launch his Blitzkrieg against
England, counting on Italy to keep
France occupied in the meantime.
AS the first chapter in active war
draws to its close, the one thing GER
tain seems to be that there cannot
be many more like it without ex-
haustion of men and material.

Minus The Bunk

SIN the midst of a political cam
paign, politics and bunk become
Siamese twins" writes Jim Landy
in his Olivia Times. He goes on to
say that, Democrats and Republicans
alike make statements that should
be taken with a grain of salt. OF
course, each one of us should fight
for his own party, but let us not
forget that there are splendid, patri-
otto men on both sides of the main
political fences"
Editor Landy must be speaking ma
tionally for in the state the Farmer
Labor party is not to be ignored.
Maybe he omitted mention of the
F. LIS because he feels that they do
not resort to bunk. Thanks for the
silent send-off and compliment, Jim.

an Anglo-Saxon American, or a pretty
good imitation of one, and in few
lessons in night-school endow him
with the background of America from
the Colonial days on. Assimilation
was supposed to work one way: from
the immigrants natural old-country
background to Americanism as con-
ceived by patriotic old-stock Amer
leans. Millions of aliens were natur-
allied and learned more or less Eng
lish, which gave the "Americanizers"
the illusion that their idea was headed
success-ward; actually, the average
immigrant remained a good deal of
the national he was in the old coun-
try. Implicit in the old fear-driven
"Americanization" idea, WIFI c h
scorned his natural background, was
an insult to him, and he resented it.
Also he was little scared. In many
cases, as he inevitably and silently
compared his adopted country with
his native land, he became more con-
scious of his old-country background
than he was before he came over, and
he frequently followed his natural
inclination as foreigner and drew
aside, away from the main streams
of American life, into his national
colony, where, to a great extent, he
is to this day, and where his children
were born.
The result is now that many Amer
ican-born sons and daughters of i'm
migrants, when they say ''we," mean
their national group and the "old
country" In their own minds and
feelings, they are imperfectly identi-
fed with America.
To my mind, what is now needed
is a new consciousness of America,
of ourselves as people made up
of over fifty races and nationalities.
What is needed is new Americaniza-
ton idea which will recognize and
accept, not merely tolerate, the var
ious national and racial groups as
such, which will see the desirability
of diversity in our population; which
will take firm stand against alien
batting and insist that the immigrant
citizens and their American-born
children belong here as much as the
Americans because this is
their America as much as anybody's;
which will help all the citizens to
identify themselves with the U. S.;
and which will, thus, work toward
national unity-agains fear in our

mean that Anglo-Saxons will have
to become partly assimilated or fused
into the various new-immigrant
groups just as the latter will have
to become partly assimilated into the
Anglo-Saxon group and into one an
other.

A Little Spice

War is the devils theory of starv-
ing the world.
More people are drowned in the
flowing bowl than lose their lives
in the sea.
Going into debt for luxuries is as

for milk.
"Ill tend to it myself gets it done
sooner than letting someone else do
it for you"
When industry and thrift 60 out of

than it is to put the glow of health

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

The follow-up work on tubercu-
losis continues in an attempt to have
all suspected cases of tuberculosis
take a Mantoux test and have an
X-ray if necessary. All X-rays have
not been taken as yet.
Another group of women have re-
quested class in home nursing. This
class will be organized in Ogema
township, and the group will meet
with Miss Virginia Karlson every
two weeks in June and July. The
other class in home nursing is to have
two more classes, also in June. These
women have found these classes most
helpful, as they are often confronted
with emergencies that call for first
aid, or a knowledge of home care of
the sick.
Instructions Given.
Visits have been made to newborn
babies. A mother of a premature
baby was given advice on feeding,
preparation of formula and care of
her baby. Visits were made to homes
of crippled children to see if the
exercises, braces or whatever the doc
tor has advised, are being properly
used, and treatment carried out for
full benefit.
Now that school is over, parents
are urged to have their children's
physical well-being looked after.
Many children need dental care, some
have been advised by their doctors
to have diseased tonsils and adenoids
removed. Pre-school children shall
be vaccinated against smallpox and
innoculated against diptheria. Heal
thy children means healthy adults.
Will Have Benefit Party.
The east central ub-committee is
to have a party June IL, to raise
money for loan closet, to buy nee
essary equipment for home care of
the sick, as rubber sheet, bed pan,
basket equipped with pillows and
blankets for a newborn baby and
other things. The party will prob
ably be given at the Cloverton school,
Mrs. Helen Langstrom is in charge
of the program for the party.

n. F. L. A. Groups
Meet Next Week

The Askov National Farm Loan
Association will hold its annual meet
ing in the village hall Monday, June
10, beginning at 8 p. m. The Wagner
N. F. L. A. will hold its meeting June
II, at p. m. at the Schoenrock resi-
dence in Finlayson. Again, as last
year, there will be an election of
directors in which it is expected all
members will want to participate.
Under the plan that first went into
effect two years ago, directors are
now chosen for three-year terms.
The business meetings will include
complete presentation of all the
facts regarding the association, it's
annual income, expense, source of its
funds, amount of loans on its books,
new business acquired during the
year, and the number of farms held
by the association.
Secretary-Treasure Oscar Thil-
quist, said he is convinced that wom-
en- have larger share in the upkeep-
ing of the associations than many
people recognize and invitations have
been sent out urging that all men,
bers bring their wives. During the
last two or three years there has been
growing attendance of women
throughout the associations in the
ST. Paul district.
He emphasized that members
questions will be invited and it is
hoped that the answers will provide
the membership with a far more
thorough knowledge of their associa-
ton and its condition, also its part
in the general system of farm mort
gage credit, than has been available
in the past.
All commissioner borrowers and
their wives have also been invited to
attend the meeting.

The first small panic of the United
States occurred in 1871 following the
boom in business after the close of
the Revolutionary war and due to
over-speculation in securities of the
new government and in stock of new
