Lakers, Rutledge
To Play For Title

Moose Lake won the second half
of the Pine County Baseball League
Sunday at Hinckley by defeating the
team there to 4. The Lakers will
now play Rutledge, the first half
winners, at Moose Lake Sunday to
select the team to represent Pine
county in the regional tournament
which this year will be played at
Moose Lake.
Hinckley went into the lead in
last Sundays contest by scoring two
runs in the second inning but their
opponents came back to make three
in the fourth and were never headed,
staving off a Hinckley rally in the
seventh.
Bassett, first baseman for the south
erners, had a single, triple and a
home run in four trips to the plate
and also aided his mates in making
three double plays, but errors and
inability to hit in the pinches cost
them the game. All but Westholm of
Moose Lake made at least one hit,
including triples by Olson and Matu-
seski, and doubles by Muther, and
Dick and Don Palon.
Following is the box score of the
game:
Moose Lake 6; Hinckley 4.

Post Offices To
Register Aliens
Task Gets Under Way
Tuesday of This Week on
Nationwide Scale.

The alien registration task got un-
der way in Pine county on Tuesday
of this week in line with the nation
wide schedule. Pine City and Sand
stone are the only two post offices in
this county qualified to take registra-
ton. Registrations are to take place
at first and second class post offices
and post offices in county seats and
such additional places as are found
necessary. However, blanks contain
ing the questions that will be asked,
and other information, may be OBJ
tanned at any post office, so the alien
may take them home and study them
at leisure. He can then take them
to registering post office for refer
ence or, if they are already complete,
they can be accepted by the officials.
Fifteen Questions.
The alien registration law provides
that every non-citizen, except men,
bers of the diplomatic corps and
their families, who remain in this
country more than 80 days, must
register by answering a 15-question
form, and, with the exception of
children under IA, must be finger
printed. The questions concern name,
age, place of birth, date and manner
of arrival, relatives, occupation and
activities. They must list clubs and
societies in which they have been
or intend to be members, criminal
records and military service, and tell
whether they have helped in Gin
fluencing or furthering the political
activities, public relations or public
policy of foreign government" Par
ents or legal guardians will register
for children under IA.
Must Appear in Person.
1t is necessary that the aliens go
to the post offices to register. They
may not send proxies and there are
no fees to pay. Infrm or incapa-
citated persons may be visited by
postal officials in their homes or in
stitutions. In the event a non-citizen
can not speak English he is expected
to bring an English speaking relative
or friend with him to facilitate reg
istration.
1t is estimated that there are $780,
600 aliens in the United States. The
work of registering and fingerprint-
ing them must be completed by the
day after Christmas this year.

International News Review

English morale. AS far as can be
seen, they have not succeeded.
Altogether, it looks as though the
German generals made serious mis-
calculation when they figured that
they could dispose of the British Isles
in jiffy. If they had not realized
that before it must have dawned on
them Sunday and Monday when
British fliers bombed the very city of
Berlin.
Driven Out.
Following up the account here last
week of the British setback in Brit
ish Somaliland in Africa, it now has
to be reported that the Italians made
it complete. They drove out the
British troops and occupied the en-
tire colony.
The loss of SOmaliland itself
does not mean so very much to
the British; what counts is the
location of the territOry-dan-
gerOusly close to Egypt and the
Suez Canal, one of the most inn
pOrtant of the British arteries of
trade. Should MussOlini succeed
in closing that channel of Brit
ish shipping, it would be hard
blow to London.
In this connection, unrest in the
southeastern part of Europe may later
on mean something; there are still

By GEORG STRANDVOLD

A few evenings ago radio lis
tener tuning in on the shortwave
on London could not help getting the
impression that all was well in Merrie
England; big Ben" pieced out the
time as per schedule; there was dance
music; there were chanties and Cor
nish folks ongs, and everybody
seemed to have corking good time
altogether, an air of gaiety seemed
to prevail.
That is the spirit of the Eng
lish, even now when German
bombs and shells from long-range
guns should be upsetting them.
They simply refuse to get upset,
and they are more than ever
determined that come what may
the hOrdes of Hitler are not to
invade their country.
For many days and nights the long
range shelling from German guns
on the northern coast of France has
been going on, supplemented by heavy
air bombings of London, Bristol,
Birmingham and other cities. It does
not appear that the Germans have
made any headway. Of course, they
could not expect to conquer England
in a. few days or weeks, but they
did hope that they could undermine

A. P. Jensen, in charge of the cat
tie division, reports that he needs
more cattle for his department. The

both ways and be fed on the fair
grounds. With all the fine herds in

ity there should be a fine display of

the rest.
The heads of all the other exhibit
