SUNSHINE.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1918. by Frank crane)

OF all gifts Of nature to man the most
blessed. rich, and beautiful is sunshine.
Through my window comes a broad
stream Of it; the whole chamber is filled
with its spirit; upon the floor IL lies,
patch of aerial gold. 1t is full likewise
Of fancies, suggestions. dream-seeds.
II is that which makes flowers. The
red rose is drop of its blood. The
Easter lily is its smile. The heliotrope
is the sweetness Of its breath. The vio-
let, a hidden whisper of blue under q
green leaf, is its girlish modesty.
Trees are its fountain-play All vines,
bushes, jungles, and leaf -tangles are wells
of it, bridal wells Of earth welded to sky.
1t is power. BY II the ocean mounts
to heaven and becomes cloud, whence de-
scend rains. 1t is the dynamic Of water
falls, running rivers, tides, and all water
forces.
II CONCEALED into coal ages ago; and
from coal come now the energies Of this
era of steam. Express trains, ocean
liners, factories, automobiles, trolley
cars, all expressions Of energy lie In my
shaft Of sunshine. Without 1t they would
not exist.
II is the lover and husband Of the
earth. So comes the blushing spring
with innumerable charms, and the
fecund summer, and the health and full
ness Of men.
1t kisses the grapes and they swell
with purple beauty, the apples and they
lusciously redden, the orange and the
pomegranate till they hang like glowing
festal lamps among the foliage.
When il lies on broad seas they smile
and send their lustre to other planets;
when il lies upon the land ii breaks forth
in green fire.
No less is it's message to the hearts
Of men. Its brilliancy and warmth are
transmitted into spiritual cheer and the
energy Of creative will.
AL the mystic recesses of the soul re-
spond to il. Fears flee, as bats from light
flooded caves. Apprehensions, morbid
tiles, premonitions, and all leaden glooms
melt from the inner sky, the mind be-
comes daisied meadow, with larks sing
ing.
II calls women and men and little
children out from their closed houses
into the open. They laugh at play and
sing at labor. They become beautiful
one to the other. They love and en-
brace.
The sunshine is love-liquor; the whole
earth is drunk with il.
The young lambs leap up with all
four feet at once."s The colts frisk. The
dogs bark and scamper. The trees be-
come orchestral stalls Of singing birds.
Sunlight! the symbol of all things de-
sirable, of freedom, of winged thoughts,
of passion, Of life itself! Let il I'LL my
famished eyes, my brain. my souli Let
my flesh feel it, my bones warm with II,
my blood leap beneath it, my soul drink
faith from i'll
So long as the sun shines we must all
believe in the Eternal Goodness.

But the absolutely sacred duty of

from entanglements is greater than it
has ever been or, God grant, may ever be

Added to the cry of the wolf pack at

Not one true and patriotic American
breathes today, not influenced by selfish

president for his righteous stand.
And at this time Of all times may their
prayers sustain him.

Red Lake Line
apps Fertile And
Productive Lands

The city of Bemidji is fortunate IN
having railroad which terminates
in Bemidji and which taps the
country north of Bemidji to the
shores of the Red Lakes. This rail-
road is the Minneapolis, Red Lake &
Manitoba line. It taps vast area
of country where may be found some
Of the most fertile and productive
soil anywhere on earth. t.
This country is becoming rapidly
settled, hundreds of farmers from
other states having ventured into
this district to make their homes.
Many of these have settled in the
vicinity of Puposky and Nebish, two
fast growing villages located on this
railroad. ..'.....
The road extends northward to,
Redby on the shores of the Red Lake
and taps the great Red Lake Indian
Reservation, r which reserve is tribu-
tary to Bemidji:;' Trains run daily
to and from Bemidji bringing into;
the city each day a number of people
who come here to do their shopping,
and who live along the line. ~.. 3.
On the shores of Lake Julia there
has been erected splendid Tri-Coun-
ty Sanitorium. This is located two
miles from the village of Puposky.
and will doubtless prove big asset
to this section of the country.
The Red Lake Townsite & Mer-
camille Co., which owns the townsites
of Redby, Puposky and Werner have
some splendid building sitos in these;

Some of the best wagon roads have
been built in this section of the state

Largest [, abor Mart

The Crookston Lumber Co., with
it's two local plants, two camps at
Kelliher and one at Northome, COM
prises Bemidji's largest corporation
and labor market. This vast enter
prise, the third largest of it's kind in
the state, has proven in the past, Be
midji's strongest drawing card for
labor seekers and a great amount of
credit is due it for drawing and keep
ing money and prosperity in this sec
tion. .. 1.
The Bemidji plants during the sum-
mer months when saving and ship
ping is on at full blast, have in their
employ over five hundred men at
salaries ranging in the neighborhood
of two dollars a day for common mill
hands to the sawyers wages of eight
dollars day. BY this employment
not less that four hundred families
of Bemidji are supported at the ex-
pense of the company's pay roll,
which aggregates not less than 81 500
a day or $4,000 a month.
At the present time, however, there
are only about $50 men working at
the mills proper; 400 are receiving
salaries at the three logging camps OF
the company; thus furnishing work
for not less than 500 men at all times
of the year: The Crookston compan-
les labor checks, amounting to ap-
proximately 100000 a year, are re-
sponsible to great extent for the in
vasion of this section by the laboring
class of people.
Not alone is this concern labor

it's surroundings, but it is a perma-
nent support for the community by
virtue of it's taxes. The mills in Be-
midi, plants No. and 2, occupy at
least 60 acres of ground, mostly in
the city limits, besides owning large
tracts of timbered and cut-over land
in Beltrami, Itasca, Clearwater, Hub
bard and St. Louis Counties.
During the winter months generally
from November to April, logging op-
erations of cutting, loading and ship
ping or drying the logs are conduct
ed in the woods about Bemidji. The
work this year is to be very heavy
owing to the poor year last year,
which esult ed in the companies run
ming out of logs and suspending cut
ting and shipping early this fall.
From seventy-five to one hundred
thousand logs of spruce, packpine,
Norway pine, white pine, and balsam
are cut each season. In board feet
the annual cut reaches 100,O00,000
board feet season.
The summer season is confined to
reducing the logs into marketable
lumber and shifts the majority of
men employed in the camps to the
Bemidji yards. The saving process
is carried on in both plants. although
plant number one has the largest
output, being approximately 60,00O,-
900 board feet each season: The
