SWAMP GRASS BURNING
FORBIDDEN BY STATE

AS the result of complaints from Of
ficials of Kittson and other counties
in northwestern Minnesota, w. T. Cox,
state forester, yesterday ordered that
no more will grass swamps be burned
except under supervision of the for
estry service.
R. V. Blethen, county attorney of
klttson county, wrote Mr.. Cox that
many fences, outbuildings and large
quantities of hay had been destroyed
by fires started by persons burning
wild grass swamps. This grass is used
in making binder Irvine and grass car
pet and rugs. The swamps are burn
ed to destroy weeds and underbrush,
and when this is done a crop of clear
grass results the next year.
Crews employed by several large
companies, which get their supplies of
grass from northwestern Minnesota
have been burning swamps covering a
wide area.

RANGE AUSTRIANS
MAY HAVE TO FIGHT

EVELETH, July 30.-A large party
of range Austrians who accepted free
transportation from their government
last spring to return to the old coun-
try may be forced into the ranks of
Austria's army if needed. Some say
this was the reason for Austria's gen
erosity in providing free transporta-
ton: as the country foresaw the i'm
pending struggle and began to pre-
pare. Transportation was offered on
the pretext of the government that la
Dor conditions in the United States
were not satisfactory.
1t is not expected that many of the
Croatians here will respond to a call
to arms if Austria orders her subjects
to return for military duty. Those
with property interests to protect in
the old country would have to return
or risk the confiscation of their prop
erty, but few would return for patri
otto reasons unless other countries
than Servia are involved.

o. H. CRICCS LIKES
ELY.T0WER ROAD

Roads is the general topic for con-
versation by automobiles wherever
you meet them these days. The roads
about Virginia come in for a consider
able amount of criticism by those who
travel over them, but the road that
meets with the approval of the major
ity of drivers is the one leading from
Tower to Ely. This piece of road
which is about % miles in length and
was built under the direction of Grant
Mcmahon, county commissioner of the
Ely district, and said to be one of the
best stretches of highway in the nor
thern part of Minnesota. O. H,
Griggs, who recently made an auto
trip over this road is enthusiastic over
its makeup, and declares that it is
the best piece Of road which he has
travelled over in the state of Mime
sofa: He is strong advocate for
good roads and when Mr.. Griggs goes
to the senate next year it is almost
certain that his one particular hobby
will be the advocacy of building the
best roads in st. Louis county.

CITY DEFEATS CAR COMPANY.

MADISON, Wis, July 3O.-The city
of Superior won it's fight for lower
street car rates in the circuit court of
Dane county yesterday. John Stevens
entered an order affirming the order
of the. railroad commission requiring
the sale of six tickets for Is cents.
The street car company contended
that the Scent fare was stipulated in
the franchise and could not be revok-
ed by the railroad commission.
Judge Stevens finds that the value
of the street car properties in Superior
were reasonably worth 100000.
"The order Of the railroad commits
sion will undoubtedly increase the
sale of tickets and thereby reduce the
revenue per passenger for those that
use the tickets" says the decision"
but it is by no means certain that
the loss will not be fully compensated
by increased density of traffic.

BODIES OF PREHISTORIS
AMERICANS DISCOVERED
IN N. d., EARTH MOUNDS

FORDVILLE, N. D., July 30-Eight
bodies of warriors were unearthed in
mounds east of this city by gravel
diggers and the theory that the place
had been used in prehistoric days of
the northwest as an Indian burying
ground is now fully borne out. The
aborigines are believed to belong to
the Mound-Builders who lived here be-
fore the Indians.
At the time the 500 railroad went
through this district several skele-
tons of Indians were found. There
are seven or eight mounds similar to
that which has just been opened, and
each of these is believed to contain
bodies of Indians.
The bodies we're dressed in gorgeous
trappings of war, fairly we'll preserv-
ed even after the long burial.

BACHELORS HAVE
HEBEST CHANCE

DUBUQUE, Iowa, July 29.-Henry
Vogeli will be 101 years old tomorrow.
Though more than a generation older
than the Biblical three score and ten
years, he is still an active man with
none of his faculties dimmed nor his
natural powers in anywise abated.
He was born in Switzerland in 1913,
one of triplets. Twenty-six years later
he came to America and settled in Du-
buque. In the seventy-five years
which followed, he has watched the
frontier give way to farms and the
factories and mills grow up around
the backwoods clearing. But never,
in all that time, has he been farther
than five miles from Dubuque nor has
he even been outside the county.
Hard outdoor work, simple food, a
sense of humor and moderation in all
things are Henry Vogeli's rules for a
long life. Eugenics have something to
do with it, he says, and it is best to
be born into a family where it is an
ancestral trait to live to a ripe old
age. He is confirmed bachelor, too
and thinks it likely that may have
had something to do with his survival

THE FARM BOYS CREED.

THE FARM BOYS CREED.
u FARM Boys Creed is going
~ the rounds of the press; origin
unknown, but it is good stuff.
It goes as follows:
I believe the country which God
made is more beautiful than the city
which man made; that life out of
doors and in touch with the earth is
the natural life of man. l believe that
work with nature is more inspiring
than work with the most intricate ma
chinery. I believe that the dignity of
labor depends not on what you do, but
how you do it; that opportunity comes
to boy on the farm as often as to a
boy in the city; that life is larger and
freer and happier on the farm than in
the town; that my success depends not
upon my location, but upon myself;
not upon my dreams, but upon what /
actually do; not upon luck, but upon
pluck. I believe in working when you
work, and in playing when you play,
and in giving and demanding square
deal in every act of life.

PUBLIC GOOD COMES FIRST.

"WO decisions from the appellate
courts in two different states
indicate the more liberal atti-
tude of judges in dealing with NUM-
cipal problems. They are taking ad-
vanced grounds. In New York it was
decided that the Edison company had
no right to refuse electric current to
customer who was taking part of his
current from neighbor. The Edison
company wanted to sell the customer
all of his current or. none. The GUS
toner took the cease to the utilities
commission, which decided against
him, and then to the appellate divi-
sion of the state court. The court held
that the Edison company had no right
to claim monopoly. Since it enjoyed
franchise, it was the business of the
company to serve all consumers, and
to serve them with the amount of cur
rent which the consumer demanded.
Another decision in a far different
line again takes the side of the public.
In UNFOLDING a Providence ordinance
regulating billboards the Supreme
Court of Rhode Island holds that, "No
man can do as he will with his own;
the use Of it, is subject to the public
welfare" Restrictions in the ordin-
ance were urged by the billboard ad
vertisers as subversive of the state
and the Federal Constitution. No
constitutional provision was violated,
said the court.
Courts are gradually coming to fix
firmly the doctrine that public good is
the first thing to be considered where
there is conflict between private and
public interest. It means that the ex-
centricities or greed of private prop
erty owners is going to stand less in
the way Of future public betterment.

HARVESTING OF THE WHEAT.

n FTER all, work is the most ro-
~ mantle thing in. the world if
only it can be viewed largely,
and the earth yielding her increase is
a more thrilling drama than any ever
written except the first chapter of
Genesis.
This year it is impossible for the
most prosaic mind, the most practical
man to view the harvest fields of this
Mississippi valley, this greatest gran
airy of the world, and view it unmoved.
The song Of the harvester as it moves
from Texas to the Dakotas is tre-
mendous chorus out Wagnering Wag-
ner. The sight of the great yellow
fields, square mile after square mile
of surface is vision to stir the most
sluggish imagination.
We have grown accustomed to the
airplane vision. Notwithstanding the
fact that the very great majority of
us have never ridden in an airship,
that only the very small minority, an
individual here and there, have seen
the world from heights above the
world, yet every man of US has the
airplane vision, and immensely every
child.
And we look today, because Of the
invention Of the airship, and because
Of the expansion Of the imagination,
thereby on these golden glowing fields
of the Valley, from the Gulf TO the
Line, almost from mountain to noun
tain range, as they lie stretched be-
meath our soaring imagination. Yes,
as they lie constructed out of the
accurate and prophetic statistics
which the government and the grain
buyers and the voyageurs of the plain
have given US. "Without a vision the
people PERISH" said the Book and
never in all the history of the Ameri-
can people has the vision been 50
splendid, never has expectation been
so large, never has actual achieve
ment been so rich.
For already great tracts of wheat
acreage, whole states of wheat fields,
have yielded their increase to man.
and the granaries are teeming, and
the golden river Of riches begins to
move, slowly, steadily to the sea-
board. "Never before in the history
of the country says the prosaic re-
ports, and American wheat reasserts
it's proud supremacy, the Mississippi
Valley again comes into its own as
the greatest granary of the world
For few years, because of the failure
of crops, and because of the fickleness
of man in the face of failure, the Mis-
sissippi had become, like the Nile, a
symbol, a mere historic symbol, of rich
harvest. Actual fact began to weave
a new tradition about the Vc'o;c-
about the Plata; and Argen-
tina became the names which meant
that the world should be fed. Ameri-
ca might contribute, might contribute
nightly to the wheat crop, but it
would only be contribution, it would
not be the worlds crop itself, as ii
had been in former years, when the
soil of "The West" was virginia. and
wheat ran riot. 1t must be that the
wheat lands were exhausted, that,
after all, any new soil would produce
the riches which had been, and now
alas, could never be again. The chap.
ter was closed and other lands, newer
lands, would garner the wheat anc
feed the nations. America must lie
with Egypt, follow through many
years, and ever less fruitful.-St. Pau
