RANGER Forces to be Increased

The United States CIVIL service
commission announces an examina-
tion for forest ranger on October
Is and 26. The examination will
be held at the following named
places. (In Colorado; Aspen,
Collbran, Delta, Denver, Durango,
Fort Collins, Hot Sulphur Springs,
Glenwood Springs, Gunnison,
Leadville, Mancos. Meeker, Monte
Vista, Pagosa Springs, Saguache,
Steamboat Springs and Westcliffe)
(In Wyoming; Alton, Cody, En-
campment, Jackson, Lander,
Laramie, Pinedale, and Sheridan) /.
(In South Dakota; Custer, Dead
wood and Camp Crook. (In
Nebrasks; Halsey). Gin Mime
sofa. Cass Lake and Ely). (In
Michigan; East Tawas).
Candidates must be able-bodied
men between the ages of Fl and 40,
capable of enduring all the hard
ships of outdoor life. A medical
certificate to this effect is required.
The examination consists of two
parts, a field test and practical
questions relative to land surveying,
numbering, land laws, mining, and
the livestock business. Practical
experience and general intelligence.
as shown by ability to write with
reasonable clearEess, are the main
requirements. Applicants must be
residents of the state in which they
seek employment, and should be
familiar with local industrial and
topographic conditions.
Forest rangers are appointed at a
yearly salary of 81, 100 and are
eligible to promotion to higher
grades including vacancies in the
position of deputy supervisor and
supervisor. Their duties consist
transacting the business of the
national forests under the direction
of the supervisors, viz, to protect
and control their districts, enforce
the national forest laws and regu-
lations, build roads, trails, tele-
phone lines, and cabins, fight
forest fires, estimate timber, make
small sales, and handle the grazing
business. The ranger usually
owns and maintains his own saddle
and pack animals. When per-
manently assigned to forest, the
ranger is provided with head
quarters consisting of cabin, barns,
and sheds and with some agricul-
tural land to grow food for his
family and domestic stock.
The government in announcing
this examination calls attention to
the fact that appointment in the
forest service does not guarantee
year long employment, since it is
necessary to furlough a number of
rangers during the winter months,
when their services are not needed
on the forests. Preference is given,
however, to furloughed employees
whose services are needed in re-
cruiting the force at the beginning
of the next field season.
Further information concerning
the examination may be secured
from the United States civil service
commission at Washington, D. c.,
from the district forester at Denver,
or from any of the supervisors with
headquarters at the points pre-
viously mentioned.

OLD SETTLER DIES
Richard Whiteside Dies While
Attending Reunion Here

While apparently in the best of
health and enjoyment, Richard
Whiteside of Duluth, one of the
Oldest pioneers of Ely, suddenly
dropped dead Friday evening at
the Washington Auditorium short
ly after the Old Settlers Ball had
begun.
Mr.. Whiteside had attended the
picnic at Sandy Point that day and
been one of the happiest of the
happy in his greetings to old
friends that had gathered to attend
the reunion of the Vermilion Range
Old Settlers Association. The
festivities at the auditorium had
just begun and the grand march
was being formed on the floor when
Mr.. Whiteside apparently tainted.
He was removed to the open and
physicians summoned, but upon
examination it was found that he
had passed away. Heart failure
was given as the cause.
The tragic occurarnce at once
put quietus on the festivities and
the large attendance at the auditor
ium at once dispersed. The re-
mains were taken to the Fenske
undertaking parlors and prepared
for shipment. They were accom-
panied to Duluth the following
morning by John Dinsmore, a
nephew of deceased. R. ]. White
side. a son, left at once in his car
for Duluth to appraise the family
of the demise. He was accom-
panied by Fred Childers. Mrs. R.
J. Whiteside and son. Owen, left
on the morning train.
Mr.. Whiteside was widely known
and highly respected in the county
for about thirty years. He was
born in Ireland in 1916, but came
to Huntsville, Ont. at the age of s
years. He was engaged in the
lumber business, especially logging
for many years. In 1886 he wen
to Duluth and entered the lumber
business in Northern Minnesota
During his long business career ht
became widely acquainted in thi:
part of the country and was popu
lar among the old settlers.
In early days he located a home
stead on the site of the village o.
Fall Lake. Mimi, which is the
mill site of the St. Croix Lumber
company. He also built the Pho
neer Hotel in this city early in it:
history.
He is survived by his widow anC
nine children. five SONS and foul
daughters. His sons are-Alber
L., Bobert J. and Charles. of Du
luth; Howard and Job of Bisbee
Ariz. His daughters are Lydia
Ila and Margaret. Duluth, anG
Mrs. w. J. Trythall, Nashwauk
Mimi. He also has four brother:
and one sister living. who are R
B. Whiteside, Duluth, Job o
California, and James of Severn
Ont, and William of Butternut
Wis. His sister is Mrs. E. Robin
son of Duluth.
The funeral was held in Duluth
Tuesday afternoon and was il
charge of the Elks lodge of which
brotherhood he had been a membe
for many years. Several from thi
city attended the funeral.

Whereas, The great and Supreme
Ruler of the Universe has in his
infinite wisdom removed from amongst
US, one of our worthy and esteemed
old settlers, Richard Whiteside, of
Duluth, Mimi, while participating in
the festivities of the annual gathering
of the association on the evening of

long and intimate relation held with
him during his life in this community
makes it eminently befitting that we
record our appreciation of him; there
fore.
Resolved, That the sudden removal
of such life from among our midst
leaves a vacancy and shadow that
will be deeply realized by all the MEM
bers and friends of the organization,
and will prove serious loss to the
organization and the public.

for the bereaved relatives of the de-
ceased we express our hope that even
so great loss to US all may be over
ruled for good by Him who doeth all
things well.
Resolved, that copy of these re-
solutions be spread upon the records
of this association, and copy be for
warded to the bereaved family.

"cOONING" FLOWERS

In our exchanges we read the annual complaints of the "steal= ing" of flowers from front yards. Is It not a strange anomaly that X atsiaf' should love flowers, or that a lover of flowers should steal" them? It has been said that the way to end the annual raiding is to have more flower gardens, Usually it is the men or women, boys or girls with no flowers of their ewn who climb fences and enter door yards to gather the blooms. If they were growing few plants of their own they would not think of stealing from others. So there is hope. The present Cleanup movement" and the '.plant-a- nower-garden movement will, in time, eliminate the flower and blossom thief. Eduation will overcome this evil, just as it is overcoming many others. All the laws in the world would not be as effective in ending this annoyance as would one little flower bed cultivated by the eulprit, In fact, the more laws, the more piquant will seem the fun of breaking them. Many of us know what it is to ''coon fowers".. AS youngsters we thought it great fun. But we know better now and it is not law which taught us. What was it? Think it over.

EXTENSION OF THE R.. F. D.
 SERVICE

July 1 will see the U. s. R. F. D. extended to more than a mil lion farms not at present receiv- ing the service. This, it is claimed, will be done without addional cost to the public, by readjustment of routes so as to avoid Implications and unneces- sary service and by the install lation of motor service upon many routes. As the good roads movement bears fruit in the shape if passable highways the year around, more and more routes will be added until pract- ically every farm in the United States will be on a rural free delivery route. This, with par eel post facilities for the market ing of farm produce, will mean millions of dollars to the Ameri- can farmer.

We appeal to the citizen ship of the county to help make the fair this fall a grand success, nothing you could do would do as much to advertise Carroll cornty. Think of it.

THE NEWSPAPERS COURAGE

OllCe III d WI1llc SOilloUOQy SGlS the idea that the reason the local paper does not report every scandal that comes to public knowledge is because the pub fisher is afraid. That's not the reason. The reputable news paper, especially in a small town where everyone is a neighbor to everyone else, takes no delight in giving publicity to those things that have brought dis grace to some family or heart ache to some wife or mother. It is more pleasant to record the good things that happen, to tell about the incidents that tend to make life more endurable, and that upliftrather than tear down, that bring joy instead of sorrow, pride instead of heartache. So if you don't always find in the Tribune the delectable bit of gossip that would doubtless make good reading and if you are inclined to blame the editor be- cause he doesn't print all the new" consider that some home has had enough worry over un- fortunate happenings, and that the gossips and scandal mongers of the community can and will gladly and ghoulishly give suffic~ tent publicity of the details to satisfy the lowest tastes. h. cidently, it might be remarked here that the most complaint of censored news comes from people who have now or have had in their lives some things that they are very glad were not given newspaper publicity. I here come times, of course, when 1t is the definite business of the local newspaper to speak right out in meeting, to tell what hap pened, to give open publicity to conditions that are a reproach to a community and for which the light of publicity seems the only cure. Tolerance is not a lack of courage.

the price paid by the consumer for his products.
 ; MT. Farmer and Fruit Grower do you wish to better your con- dltlon? If you do, then why not get together and organize local associations for handling and marketing your crops. There are other problems on the farm through this association; better schools, better roads, live stock, better farming, better social condition, and other things can be reached through organiz- ed and cooperative efforts.
 Will not the progressive fruit growers in each shipping com munity get together and organize associations to handle their fruit. Ii can be of any assistance you have only to call on me. The matter should not be deferred, but action to this end should be taken at once. Gen lemen, l hope you will get busy and be able to make something out of your peaches when the time to sell them comes. With a short wheat crop, and the oats light the peach crop will help out wonderfully if handled right. MT. Business Man you can help in this matter too; 1t will mean more trade for you this fall, so please get busy and encourage your fruit growers to make the most of their opportunities,
 Yours for better farming.

canned on the farm with small outfits. J. A. SIoate, farmer ot near Hatfield, Ark, has been operating a home canning outfit several years and selling his product by parcel post. He told me he had sold canned goods within 50 miles of Chicago by parcel post. He has made money.
 Just think how fine it would be if every farmer could at the beginning of the winter have 1000 cans of assorted canned goods. Such a result can be ob- tained by two or three days of labor and about S26 for can. with a small home canning outfit. Go buy one without delay. If you havn't the money get your mer- chant or banker to advance it to you and pay him in canned goods before the summer is gone. You can do it. Try it out. It is worth the effort. In most of the counties there is a canning club agent. She will be glad to show you how to operate it. and will charge you nothing for her ser vices. If you cannot dispose of your surplus canned goods to your local merchants let me know and l will find you a mar ket.
 Write me for bulletins on Canned Fruits, Preserves, and Jellies, , and Canning Vege- tables in the Home" "

COMING AND GOING.

Odebolt, Ia. The Livingstons did not get along very well. She sued him for divorce on the grounds of cruelty and got $5, 900 a lieu of alimony. Later Livings- ston wrote his ex-wife, express ing sorrow and contrition and proposed that they make it up and marry again. She came to Odebolt to give him another chance but he had changed his mind. She sued him for breach of promise and was awarded S5,000 damages.

RURAL AMERICA BEAUTIFUL

The time is not far distant when the country roads of America will be as picturesque as those in Europe. In several states we can see the beginnings of a concerted movement for the U s7e'T :f,7cafion of the Iandsca5ez. In Iowa, for instance, the land scape experts of the horticultural department of the State College are giving assistance to many towns and communities in the laying out, parking and land scaping of roads, streets, school grounds, parks and cemeteries and their surroundings. Re quests are already coming in from farmers and rural dWellers for advice and assistance in farmstead planting, re-foresti- zation, roadside parking and other projects. Turning COW pastures into parks leaves them as good and some times better as far as the cows are concerned, and they are easier to look at as parks. The movement will spread. It costs little and means much.

SHOULD ORGANIZE
 FRUIT ASSOCIATIONS
FARMERS SHOULD GET BETTER MARKETS AND PRICES FOR
 FRUIT CROP

The fruit crop of Carroll county can be made one of the most valuable assets of the county. To do this, the fruit farmer must make the most of his opportunity. The soil of Carroll county is admirab y adapted to the growing of all kinds of fruits that can be grown in the Ozarks of the county.
 The time has come when the farmer who wishes to grow fruit must adopt the very best methods, in all the Ozark section fruit growers are beginning to realize this. Those expecting to stay in the business and make anything out of fruit must use best cultural methods, prune, spray, cultivate, fertilize and use every means possible to pro- duce the best article possible.
 What can a grower hope for who puts out trees and plants and leaves them to grow at their own sweet will, failing to take care of them? He has little up= on which to base any hope for renumerative returns. The fruit crop one year with another can be made one of the most paying crops on the farm, but to do this we must give it our earnest attention.
 After all this we have produc- ed a splendid crop of fruit and with no organized means of marketing same. What can We hope for? We should organ ize a fruit growers asseeiatlGsa, in each locality where sufficieeIS growers are interested and mar ket in car lots. This especially true of small fruits and peaches, in fact, it is imperative that the growers get together to market them as local rates make 1t im= possible to even break even.
 This season the prospects for a bumper crop of peaches were never better, and if this one crop is properly handled 1t will bring to the people of this county from S10, GOO to S20,000, but if the growers do not organ- ize for caring for and marketing the crop it may not bring S1, 1000. The Department of agriculture through the Bureau of Market ing and the railroads are trying to help us find markets for the peach crop. At the present time it looks like prices will be good,
 To realize good prices it will be necessary to adopt standard packs, to pack only good stuff, to pack in uniform packages, to allow no green or over-ripe fruit to go into the car. This can only be accomplished by properly organized efforts. A good fruit growers association at each ships ping point will make it possible to realize the very best possible returns from the peach crop. Not only can the association aid in selling the crop but in the purchase of spray machinery and material, packages in which to pack the crop, fertilizer and other supplies necessary. They can also establish standards and provide the necessary inspection.
 I do not see how the peach crop can be handled so the grower will be able to get any thing like his share of the pro- ceeds without organization, for without any organization you will have to depend upon some local buyer who must be paid for his time and who must have and is entitled to a reasonable profit on his business.

HOME CANNERlES
 AREs PROFITABLE
JOHN H. PAGE SHOWS WHAT THE AVERAGE COST AND PROFIT
 ON ONE THOUSAND CANS

The general war outlook in Europe indicates a gloomy pros pect for the cotton market this fall. In fact, the price of cotton for future delivery has been de- clining for the past thirty days.
 This impresses the importance of the farmers in this ,state and the south preparing to meet the hard times that may continue through the next season, by talk ing advantage of every opportu- nity available to provide living at home from the products of the farm. One of the best means of doing this is to provide your self with small home-canning outfit, to can fruits and vege- tables for table use during the winter and early spring months.
 Until recent years 1t was thought that the main secret in preserving fruit and vegetables by the canning process, was in keeping the cans air tight. Formerly it was thought the oxygen in the air spoilded the fruit or vegetables. Later dis coveries proved that bacteria and minute organisms not visible to the naked eye caused them to spoil or ferment, and that to sterilize or heat IS necessary. Different degrees of heat and different length of time for heating. The modern canning outfits for farm use are made to meet the scientific requirments in a simple way, and they can be operated by any housewife, or perhaps the children. There are a number of different kinds on the market, and they are all good. The outfits are complete. and are accompanied with full instructio ns for canning all kinds of fruit and vegetables, and besides the manufacturers will often send a man to show how to operate them. Tn e dealers will furnish the cans, with solder on them, and also attractive labels if you want them, so your canned goods will look as attractive and be as good as any sold in the stores. The canning outfits sell as low as S7 50 and up to S25, $50 and higher. With a S55 outfit you can put up from 800 to 800 cans a day with the labor of 2 to 4 people. Some of the manufac- turers sell their outfits for part cash and the balance on time. It would be an easy matter to buy a S25 outfit and pay for it out of the profits on tomatoes, beans, sweet potatoes and pump kins, that can yet be grown in time for canning this season.
 Cost of canning 1000 cans tomatoes:
 1000 3-pound cans, S25. Solder, 40c; Aux, 5c, .45 1000 labels, 200 66 bushels at 25c, 1850
 total $43. 95 Average value 7c per can, 70.00 Profit and labor $26.05 If sold and to wholesale houses, it would be necessary to have cases or boxes in which to ship, at a cost of 10 cents each. It would take Al case per thousand cans, or a total cost of $4. 10
 This will reduce the profit and labor to $22.05, which is, however pretty good for two women and one man for a day and a half or two days work, besides getting $16.5 for the tomatoes. About the same profit can be made from canning other vegetables and fruits.
