and Several Smaller Towns De.
sfen>Aa


The continued dry weather, ac-
companied by the utter and wanton
disregard of many loggers to CON-
ply with the state law requiring the
burning of slashings prior to the
first day of May, has been the cause
of spreading reign of terror
throughout northeastern Minnesota
the past week, numberless families
being driven from their homestead
shacks and farm houses and sev-
eral OF the smaller burgs on the
north shore completely wiped off
the map.
Locally the situation has at no
time been serious. although fires
have ragged to the north, east and
west of the city, and driven by the
high winds have caused some worri-
ment lest the big mill plant of the
Virginia & Rainy Lake company
should come in the way of the de-
structive elements. The company
has had several additional watch
men, both night and day, on the
ground during the week.
The village of Gilbert, however,
had close call on Monday, and but
for the efficient work of some two
thousand men in back-fring and
fighting the flames the town would
have been doomed.
On the north shore the small
towns of Tote, Lutzen and Rose.
bush are reported as totally de.
stroyed, while the old town of Grand
Marias was at one time reported
swept but later reports are in effect
that the town is not only left but
is past the danger point.
The blaze which threatened Gil.
bert was the result of unburned
slashings in the section to the north
and west of the village, consider
able mining timber having been
taken out of this section during the
winter, and trip over the country
some two weeks ago showed that
no burning of slashings had been
attempted. Likewise, the threaten.
ing fire to the north of the Higgins
location was the result of timber
cutting and the failure of loggers
to comply with the law.
No rains for the spring have re.
tarded the natural growth which
tend to diminish the FIRE danger az
we'll as making more dangerous the
acts of the timber cutters, and with
no rain in prospect the danger point
insofar as the outlying homesteader
is concerned is not yet past. It il
hoped, however, that rains may
shortly stop the progress of the
flames, and it is also to be hoped
that the fire wardens will immediate.

don't wait. Keep records of experiences
each day, those pages are most 1nValu-
able in seasons to come. To give your
business a proper business tone open
bank account and be most particular
to never overdraw; by obeying both
you gain the confidence of the public
and the bank people; it's sure way to
handle your finance and creates a
pride that helps one to be a winner,
check is a receipt for the bill paid and
also causes one to look twice before he
leaps.
But the SAVIOR and salt of it all is
philosophy; a PHILOSOPHER is always
optimistic and an optimist with sound
business tactics makes good every
time. Have an ambitious content, but
never a contented ambition, but keep
an eye on the main chance, reconcile
oneself to ones work, but look ahead
and build air castles, around air cas-
ties the air is always balmy, the sun
always shines, flowers are always in
bloom and the songs of birds please the
ear; in short dream and plan, exer-
else your thinking privilege to your
betterment, keep your eyes toward the
sun, then the shadows are on your
back; with your eyes away from the
sun the shadows cast a tinge of blue
on everything and failure stalks
abroad; join the Don't Worry club, it's
worth while.
Now, just a word in closing: Pros
perity tests character far more than
adversity; when in adversely, ones
fighting instinct compels him to OBJ
serve every law and point that will
help him to win, but with the coming
of prosperity those things that spelled
success are partly forgotten and neg
Iected and again the horizon shows the
clouds of failure. "That which was
necessary to win success must be con-
tinued to keep success"

BABY CHICKS

This season the hatcheries of Los
Angeles will have sold more than TWO
million baby chickens, fresh from the
incubators, to be raised in many thou-
sands of back yards in Southern Cali
fornia. This is a new industry, but II
is no chick. A few days since, we were
talking to Mr.. Albers, the poultry sup
ply man. He says he sold incubators
in Los Angeles before any others en-
tered the field, and in the spring time
kept a few chicks in his window as
an incubator advertisement. Some Oh
these were sold, the remainder were
sent to the home of the younger Al
bers and raised. When the chick IN
dustry began to develop he did not en-
courage tit was at variance with IN
terests of customers selling eggs TOT
Matching The old habit of chicks In
the show windows persisted, but large
numbers and competition with Gus
toners were avoided. However, thls
wear. in common with every other man
who has an incubator, he found ousl-
ness in chicks thrust upon him.
The development of the f1reless brood
err and the natural profitableness or the
labor, have put the Matching and ra1s,
ing of chicks into different hands, and
Los Angeles herald., 1910-06-05

the new order has come to stay. This
season, prior to April, everything that
looked like a living chick was greedily
bought at the price asked. Now people
begin to discriminate, and this Is a
very encouraging symptom. If buyers
will insist on strong chicks, not more
than three days old, they will be glad
they bought and will educate dealers
to supply chicks worth having. At best
the customer cannot see the parent
stock, and at the low prices now asked
should not require it. But he should
insist on chicks true to name and we'll
Then If he will keep them warm enough
and not be afraid of getting them too
warm, he will want more next year;
and this normal division of labor will
continue to increase.
