NATIVE SON
BY Wright

On this remarkable novel Henry
Seidel Candy makes the following
comment:
"This powerful and sensational
novel is very difficult to describe
so as to convey its real purpose
and it's real strength. But it Is
important to describe it accurate
ly, because it is certainly the fin
est novel as yet written by an
American Negro-not that it was
chosen by the Book-of-the-month
Club just because it was written
by a Negro. 1t would have been
chosen for its deep excitement and
intense interest whether written
by white, yellow, or black. Yet,
nevertheless, this is a novel which
only a Negro could have written;
whose theme is the mind of the
Negro we see every day; whose
emotion is the emotion of that ma
tive born American under the
stress Of a social situation difficult
in the extreme; whose point and
purpose are not race war or prop
uganda of any kind, but to show
how a bad niger" is made from
human material that might have
been something very different.
"Superficially, Native Son" is
crime story, adventurous, exciting
often terrible-with two murders, a
chase and gun fight over the roofs
of Chicago, a trial and what might
have been, but was not, rape.
It is the old story of man hunted
down by society, but the reader will
get through only a few chapters
before he realizes that there Is
something different in this story.
Bigger-and we all know Bigger
is no prosecuted black saint. His
family is a good tenement family,
as tenement families go; but he
is a bad actor from the first. He
is headed toward Jail from the first
chapter.
Cali this highly complicated
story is handled with competence
by Mr.. Wright in a swift narrative
style proceeding by staccato dia-
logue and with rapidly mounting
suspense.
QUIETLY MY CAPTAIN WATTS
By Evelyn Eaton
"a fresh and stirring picture of
little-known corner of American
History"
Evelyn Eaton has here turned in
to exciting romance an authentic
story of the French in early Can
ada, in much the same way that
Rachel Field developed another
story of the past in "All This and
Heaven Too"
The town of Port Royal in Aca-
dia-now comprising New Buns
wick, Nova Scotia and part of
Maine-was key position in the
long struggle between France and
England for control of the New
World. About 100 decade before
it was lost to the French forever,
there entered the annals of Acadia
a certain Madame Louise de Fren-
euse. In Quebec, she had gone
through an unhappy love affair
with a young ensign in the French
navy, Pierre de Bonaventure. Now
seven years later, when Pierre had
returned to the new world as a
Fleet Captain, Louise knew that

Sank Lake Becoming Unbalanced

More and more we hear that the laws of nature
have become unbalanced in Sank Lake, and that
the diminished propagation of Great Northern pike
pcerel provided opportunity for greater increase
of the perch. This it is said, deters the propagation
of walleyed pike in our lake, and it is necessary
that it be restocked with pickere to again maintain
a proper balance This is being done.
In this connection, believe that the proposed
pike rearing bed planned for location the low
lands below the dam, is the to rebuild Sank
Lake If the proposal becomes a reality there is a
possibility that real pike fishing may be enjoyed
in the local lake within period of about five years
This project should have the utmost cooperation
of everyone in this community 1t is business VEN
ture, with possible gain for everyone. Sank Lake
is still good fishing lake-lets keep it that way,
and let's make an attempt to improve it.
We prone to forget the value of the lake as
a business asset to the community. We know from
experience that sell it's beauty, it's vacation
and fishing possibilities. Therefore, must keep
it's stock up and, believe this is the opportunity

mously rich Biddle family Of Penn
sylvania. When they went to Pol
and they took with them quaint
tiles of paintings and antiques,
which were destroyed in the siege
and capture Of the city Of Warsaw
last September.
It is my guess that Mr.. Biddle
stands about as much chance of
getting Congress to allow their
claim as Hitler has to sprout wings.
There are many claims pending be-
fore us that have much more merit
but they are doomed for the want
Of time.

CAPITOL
The Voice of Reason
BY Harold Knutson

Another famous flyer has joined
Colonel Lindbergh in decrying the
Presidents defense policy. In a
sensational speech before the Ma
tional Aviation Forum, which met
in Washington last week, Major
Williams, formerly an outstanding
Navy filler, showed up the unten-
able position taken by the Presi-
dent on national defense. He point
ed out that there is absolutely no
danger of invasion by sea or air.
Said he, with all their air power
the Germans could not attack and
subdue England from air bases 300
miles to 500 miles distant. Instead,
they seized air bases on the north
coasts of Holland, Belgium and
France-2O to 100 miles distant"
Major Williams scoffed at sea pow
er in light of events in Europe and
said that the United States was
following the same "bungling mis-
takes" of Britain politicians in still
placing it's hopes in the Navy. The
Major demanded that, contrary to
the Presidents announced plans,
the proposed new air armada be
severed completely from Army and
Navy control and made a separate
unit of their domination. The dis
tinguished Major struck new high
in these words: 1.-THE President
must know this-but apparently
the pattern is panic first, and then
war;"
AS a result of the agitation pro
and con, we are going to get sub
stantial defense. Already board
to supervise production has been
set up by the President, which in
cludes several outstanding indus
trialists. This insures that we are
going to get our moneys worth
providing the man in the White
House keeps his hands off and
gives them free rein, with full
authority to do whatever is neces-
sary.
A New Tax Bill
Congress was taken completely
by surprise last week when 1t was
announced that new tax bill must
be passed before Congress adJourns.

Of this fascinating woman's loves

More than that, she has told con-

Sportsmen or Fishermen? p

There are fishermen who would not class them
selves sportsmen if they realized the disastrous
results to propagation of fish caused through their
law violations, such illegal spearng, or taking OF
fish during the spawning season.
For instance, if couple of men speared 81 pair
of blackbass the damage for future propagation
would be greater than the average person realizes
P. w. Michels chairman of the conservation commit
tee prepared estimate of the future loss of fish
caused by an act of that kind. He stated that the
females of the 81 pair of bass would lay about
$4,000 eggs. Ninety percent or 299,7OO eggs would
hatch, of which fifty percent 149S5O would grow
to adult fish,
This will give some idea of the damage caused
by such act and it can be plainly seen that not only
was the lake deprived of 81 pair of fish, but
the future growth of almost 10000 blackbass as WE'LL
Indians in the early days had conservation
law and although unwrtten' they never took more
destructive way was never satisfied until game and
fish had been destroyed.
Men, who take more fish than they need and
then throw the balance to the chickens or bury
them, deprive the lakes of life which others work
so hard to preserve They deprive many other people
of the fun of catching the fish they threw away
Wanton waste, illegal spearing, netting and TAX
ing than the limit all disastrous to fish
life. Men who engage in such illegal tactics are not
Supplementary merely fishermen, and poor ones
at that. With a good program of conservation and
if all people discretion while fishing there will
be reason to worry about the future stock in the
lakes of Minnesota. Obey the conservation laws
today and your boys and girls will be able to catch
fish tomorrow and will enjoy the sport you have
enjoyed true sportsman, not just fisherman

This is the evil we must avoid

Remember, I am talking not

for the necessities Of life.
How can it be prevented? There
are several indirect aids and one
