An Appeal to Save Our Forests.
An emergency faces the friends Of our
forests. On November 3rd will be de-
cides 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 better method?
This better method will be submitted
to popular vote on election day. 1t is
embodied in the State Forests Amend
ment, the 9th on the ballot.
AZ most Of the amendments usually
fail. the Minnesota Forestry Association
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 pin
cries from final destruction.
But funds are required to carry on a
publicity campaign and in order to make
the 9Th Amendment a success, the For
estry Association is hereby appealing to
every philosophical citizen of Mime
sofa for his active and financial sup
port.
No matter how small the contribu-
lions. they will be gladly accepted. Each
donation Of one dollar or more will make
the contributor q member Of the Asso-
citation. He will obtain a bulletin on
tree planting, a canoe map of Mime
sofa, and the two monthly magazines,
1.-THE North Woods" and 1.-THE Minnesota
Horticulturist.".
The Minnesota Forestry Association
is the oldest organization Of it's kind in
America. It has had an honorable car
eer ever since its inception. Its influence
particularly in tree planting is CRATE
fully felt in many parts Of the State.
This is the first appeal ever issued
by the organization. It needs funds; II
needs them quickly. Every public sptr'
tied citizen in Minnesota who is a friend
Of forests, game and natural resources
and Of their business-like perpetuatiOn
should contribute willingly and liber',l-
ly. Your contribution should be address.

Salamis According to the detailed
figures given by Herodotus. he muster
ed 1907 Observation-Disclosures, or ships
of war, with three banks Of oars. Each
of these carried a crew of 200 rowers
and thirty fighting men. There were
also 5000 smaller vessels Of war and
transports, averaging eighty men each.
A further 120 triremes afterward
joined. Herodotus may even have un-
derstated the figures. since Aeschylus
gives 1907 triremes as the number
present at the battle, and CAT had al
ready been lost or destroyed.-London

Nine. Nordica's Wisdom.

Lillian Nordica once summed up the
secret of success in these words:
Nothing comes to me but through
work and perseverance. l work when
I do not want to. It takes work and
patience to become an artist 1t can
not be brought about in day. TO
me, I will say frankly, all things come
slowly and through toll. Ambition Is q
fearful master and tyrant, but would
not exchange it for another"
She tells there the truth concerning
all real and continued success. A man
sometimes reaches pinnacle by what
seems chance and no effort Of his own,
but he cannot remain there without la
acknowledgements staI. =.
