Not Much Fire Loss

Local Forestry officials announce
that the season just closed has been
the best from a protective stand
point since the organization of the
Superior National Forest. Only
one fire being reported, which was
put under control before any mer-
charitable timber was destroyed.
The fire burned over Is acres.
They go on TO say that, although
the weather during the season was
very favorable, a great deal of credit
is due to the efficiency of the patrol
force. Twenty three men being
charged with patrolling and pro
tecting little over one and one
quarter million acres. A large
portion of this has to be patrolled
from water routes and the balance
by foot patrol and from look out
towers. A great many tourists now
travel through the forest during
the summer season and this in
creases the fire danger. The CO.
operation of the users of the
National Forest is necessary to
keep the fire danger at mini

LYCEUM COURSES
Chances Are That Ely Will Have
Course Soon

With the new arrangements
made by the Universities of Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and North Dakota
who have banded themselves to-
gether for the improvement of
community life by means of pro-
viding worthy entertainment, il
has become possible for the smaller
cities to secure lyceum entertain
mentS.
The results of the alliance to
provide high class attractions are
numerous and among them can be
Classed the following:
Higher class attractions, at
cheaper prices to the communities;
a guarantee of the quality and
morality of the companies that
visit the places where lyceum
courses are feature of a commun-
ity life; more communities reach
ing forward and upward, more
folks happier.
1t all came about in the early fall
when Paul F. Voelker of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, ]. ]. Petit
john of the University of North
Dakota, and Richard R. Price of
the University of Minnesota met
in Madison, Wisconsin for a con-
ference and formed an association.
Already cooperation has begun,
and definite plans are being laid for
the season of 1914-1915, when all
attractions will be secured for
service in the three states.
By this cooperative plan better
service may be secured to larger
number of people at a lower cost.
In bringing artists and great lee
turers from a distance more dates
can be booked making it possible
for each number to be given at a
lower price. The best talent of
the nation is secured and brought
to the people at reasonable prices.
This year the lecture department
of the University of Minnesota
General Extension Division is put
ting in about 25 courses in the
various communities of the State.
With the introduction of popular
dfeatufes concerts, sapd entertain
mspts akJeal sdemafil Dis met and
the growth of the department is
assured. Next year without doubt
hundred communities will be
benefting themselves by this plan.

Mr.. Merchant

Why don't you dig into the re-
tail mail order quotations and find
out where you stand and where they
stand? See whether they have
what they claim-whether the
prices are so superior to yours. If
you really investigate and do some
real comparing, we venture to say
that you will gain the kind of con-
fidence that is absolutely necessary
to have before you can put any
sort of punch into your advertis-
ing.

In addition to popular lectures,
which are largely inspirational in
their nature, and study club lectures
which are largely educational in
their character, the lecture depart
ments of the three universities offer
community lectures on the question
of public health, libraries, town
planning and building, social cen
tiers, etc. These community lee
lures are to be prominent feature
the coming season, the idea being
that it is the duty of the universe
ties to aid communities in the solu-
tion of practical problems.
