A NARROW ESCAPE.

Sunday afternoon A. T. Watson and
daughter, Miss Mary, were out driv-
ing; they were enroute to the Home
School and had reached a point In
front Of Smith Bros. Livery on Main
street when car driven by Ben
Carpenter collided with them. The
Herald understands that man on the
running board of the car was inter-
fening with the driving, detracting
the chauffer's attention from the
steering wheel. Mr.. Watson en-
deavsred to get out of the way Of the
ear bpt could not make it. Miss Mary
either jumped or was thrown from the
buggy receiving quite severe bruises
on the right shouioer. 1t was a
mighty lucky accident, the result of
pure caneIessness.

APPEAL TO SAVE OUR FORESTS.

APPEAL TO SAVE OUR FORESTS
An emergency faces the friends of
our forests. On November 3rd will
be decided the fate of the forests still.
owned by the State. Shall we allow
this small remainder to be ruined as
in the past, or shall we adopt the bet
ter method?
This method will be submitted to
popular vote on election day. 1t is
embodied in the State Forests Amend
ment, the 9th on the ballot.
AS most of the amendments usually
fail, the Minnesota Forestry Associa-
ton is attempting to inform every
voter of the crisis at hand. We dare
not let this measure follow the fate of
the others. 1t is the last opportunity
open to the supporters of forestry to
save our pineries from final destruc-
ton.
But funds are required to carry on
a publicity cmapaign and in order to
make the 9th Amendment success,
the Forestry Association is hereby
appealing to every public-spirited
citizen of Minnesota for his active and
financial support.
No matter how small the contri-
buttons, they will be gladly accepted.
Each donation of one dollar or more
will make the contributor member
of the Association. He will obtain a
bulletin on tree planting, canoe map
of Minnesota, and the two monthly
magazines, "The North Woods" and
''The Minnesota Horticulturist."
The Minesotan Forestry Association
is the oldest organization of its kind
in America. 1t has had an honorable
career ever since its inception. It's
influence particularly in tree planting
is gratefully felt in many parts of the
State.
This is the first appeal ever ISSUED
by the organization. 1t needs funds;
it needs them quickly. Every public
spirited citizen in Minnesota who is.
a friend of the forests, game and nat
ural resources and Of their business
like perpetuation should contribute
willingly and literally. Your contri-
button should be addressed to Phil IL
Hanson, Treasurer Of the Forestry

Paul. Don't wait until tomerrUw. Do
