Alexandria Herald: There has
been a great deal Of speculation
about what constitutes an inch
Of rainfall. It merely means,
according to the government
gauge, an inch Of water covering
the acre on which it falls, were ii
not for the fact that it soaks into
the ground. One inch Of rain
usually soaks the ground from 4
to s inches. The weight of one
inch Of rainfall on one acre
wheighs more than 10 tons, and
the water would fill more than
six hundred barrels of forty-five
gallons each. Ii a 1-inch rain
storm was to cover q thousand
acres, which would be q very
small shower, l13,0OO tons Of
water would have fallen from
the clouds. Rain storms some
times over whole states, and
even three or four states. and IN
some instances there are from
two to five inches Of rainfall III 4
single storm. Think Of what the
weight Of that amount OF water
would be that falls to the earth?
1t would mean hundreds of
thousands of tons, and vet the
earth doesn't tip over and spill
the water out Of the oceans. II
makes very little difference
which side of the earth we are
on, the rain always comes down.

In the village. Some shavings

flames ran along TO q pile of cord
wood. This wood was near the
planning mill and many other
buildings. BY hard work with
the chemical engine and water
buckets the fire was put out at
this point. This fire, and many
others which we read Of In neigh

we ought to have some kind Of
fire protection here in Askov at

pairs and came home on the

Bruno correspondent. Many peo-
pie kick because no mention was
made in the paper of something
that has happened when the fault
really lies with the people who
do the kicking because it is i'm
possible for the correspondent to
get all the news and very often
many items that would prove
interesting to the public have
been omitted simply because the
correspondent knew nothing
about them. Won't you help to
advertise Bruno by sending in all
your items as we'll as orders for
stationery, wedding invitations
or anything in the printing line
to d. c. Hoist at the land office.

CHANGES IN GAME LAWS

Several changes were made in
the game laws by the last state
legislature. Perhaps the most
important law affecting the pre-
servation Of game was the act
passed making it necessary for
every resident of the state over
tWenty-one years of age to secure
IA hunting license before killing
any game bird, except that q per-
son may hunt on lands owned or
leased and occupied as a perman-
ent resident by himself. This
license is procured from the coun-
ty auditor at cost of $1.00. Al
slight change was also made in
the law regarding the number Of
birds to be killed by hunter in
any one day. Only ten birds of
any or all varieties are allowed
each shooter for the days hunt
except wild ducks, Of which fif-
teen may be taken, or killed in
one day. A hunter is allowed
only thirty game birds in his
possession at one time except
ducks, of which not more than
forty-fve may be had in posses
sion at any one time.
From the reading of the law it
appears that ten chickens or fif-
teen ducks may be killed in a
day, but if the bag includes both
chickens and ducks, only ten are
allowed.
The coot, or mud hen, comes
under the protection of the game
laws.
The turtle dove, woodcock, up
land or golden ployer and wood
duck are protected and cannot be
shot, killed or had in possession
before Sept. Z. 1918.

BRYAN'S OPINION o F
THE SALOON

The C0mmOner recently
contained the following edi-
torial from the pen of Hon. w.
j. Bryan with reference to the
saloon.
"A man can be a good Dem
ocrat in good standing without
staggering when he walks.
Do not accuse me of bringing
this question into politics.
met an issue after it had been
introduced, and if | have any
apologies to offer, | shall not
offer them to the liquor in
terests for speaking now.
shall offer them to the faith
ers and mothers for not speak
ing sooner.
" The saloon is an outlaw
and a nuisance, and it lives by
sufferance where it lives at all
on the theory that if You tried
to abolish it you might get
something worse.
you cannot build a slaugh-
ter house in your block with
out consulting the people
around you, because you can
not confine the odors to your
own land, and yet some peo-
pie would establish saloon
and fill the air with poison,
and then say to the people
who must breath it and suffer
from it that they have no right
to protest.

THE GREAT VALUE OF
DISSATISFACTION

Agitation, even Of a poor
sort is the deadly foe of stag
nation. In the long run, the
right can never be hurt, but
must ever be helped by agi-
tation. It is only evil which
cannot stand before it.
Dissatisfaction is one of the
finest forces in life. Without
it there would be no going for
ward. We would all stop
where we are and admire our
selves and our surroundings all
the rest Of our useless days,
until God should turn us back
into soil that we might once
more become fertile.
Dissatisfaction is the main
spring of aspiration.
Of course, there can be dis
satisfaction without aspiration.
Envy, malice, and other base
passions may be the source of
dissatisfaction that warps the
soul instead Of stimulating it.
The poor man must be dis
satisfied with his condition be-
fore he can acquire and hold
property. He must be dissat-
isfed not with his privations
and discomforts alone, but
with his lack Of practical
knowledge, with his lack of
thrift and providence, and es-
peeially with his lack of self
control and Of capacity for in
telligent application and sus-
tanned effort.
The rich man must be dis
satisfied with his condition or
else be a hideous vampire,
sucking the life blood from 1.-THE
heart Of society. He must be
dissatisfied to sit in the midst
of plenty while others starve,
or else there would be no
princely philanthropy. He
must be dissatisfied with his
own isolation from his suffer-
ing struggling fellows. other
wise his soul will shrivel for
want of sympathy To feed
upon.
If a mans mind and heart
are sound, his dissatisfaction
will largely determine his as
pirations and aspiration is the
mother of all self-sacrificing
ambition.
