Germs Like Girls

Fathers and mothers, lucky
enough to have both boys and
girls, know how clean the girls
keep themselves, and how the boys
disregard dirt, says DR.. H. w.
Hill of the Minnesota Public Health
Association. From earliest
childhood the little girls hands
and face are washed, and she
evades dress-stains, combs her hair,
and tries to look nice. But every
normal boy, up to the age of four
teen, revels in dirt, and looks for
ward to the Saturday night bath
with virtuous contempt or dread
But boys do not suffer infectious
diseases as much as girls. This
was brought out in an investiga-
tion made of 5000 children of all
ages and sexes. We requested the
mothers themselves to report what
disease their children had had.
Girls had had more infectious
than boys of the same age. This
goes to support the modern view
that dirt and disease have no neces-
sary relation. 1t is not the dirt the
boys revel in that does harm. 1t
is the germs in other people
bodies that should be dreaded.
The girls encounter infection more
than the boys because they are
more sociable, meet other children
more, and associate with them
more intimately than boys do"

Appointed Wardens

The forest rangers on the Super
ior Ma tional Forest have just been
appointed deputy game warde.ls. it,
accordance with a cooperative
agreement between the State Board
of Game and Fish Commissioners
and the Federal Forest Service.
The appointees are to serve with
out pay and will enforce the Game
and Fish laws only within the
boundaries of the National Forest.
In return. all deputy and state
game wardens are to notify forest
officers of any fires which are dis
covered on or contiguous to the
National Forests and to render any
possible assistance in extinguishing
them. 1t is expected that the
cooperation will be beneficial to
both the State and Federal service.

TREES GROWING
Successful REPRESENTATION in Northern
Minnesota

Last year the State forestry
boards employees set out nearly
800, 900 trees in the demonstration
work in Northern Minnesota and
it is claimed by w. 7. Cox, state
forester, that the plantations were
quite successful. He expects to
set out about as many during the
current year.
There will be available for plant
ing 100000 seedlings set out last
year in the forest experiment
station at Cloquet, and 100000
Seeding pines raised by the fores-
try students at Itasca park. 1t is
also proposed to buy a large num-
Der of young trees from the COM
mercial nurseries.
Last spring the forestry service
bought 100000 white pine, 2OO,-
900 Norway pine and rs, 900 spruce.
In addition to these they got
65, 900 Norway pine from the wild
stock in the woods. The work of
Representation has been carried on
so far, without special appropria-
tons, the expense being borne
from the forestry service and
Itasca and Burnside state forest
funds. The same policy will be
followed this year.
Our plantations were quite sue
cessful, says William 7. Cox,
state forester. as approximately
IS per cent are growing. We SET
out 100, 900 trees in the burnt over
areas in the BURNSIDE state forest,
but under unfavorable conditions,
as there was a delay in shipment
and we had to plant from boat or
canoe.
The BURNSIDE forest, when all
of the patches or burns in need OF
planting have been restocked, and
when the natural growth so abun-
dant on most of the forest has
attained larger size, will be a
place of surprising beauty, as well
as a wealth-producing piece of
state property. Few places in the
Northwest offer the same attrac-
tions for the camper and the canoe
list as are to be found on the rocky
shores and islands and in the pine
woods of the BURNSIDE state forest.
In Itasca state park, $4,000
little trees were planted under
rather favorable conditions. Most
of these were nursery-grown, but
some were wild stock obtained
from over-crowded stands of very
young trees in the locality of the
park. Itasca park needs only a
moderate amount of replanting
because reproduction of the natural

KENT WINS
Judge Hughes Decides Chandler
Case in Favor Of Frank Kent

Frank Kent of this city has won
his case against John Costin of
Virginia in which he sought to
obtain his share of the stock and
back royalties in the Chandler
mine. The case involved total
of over $4,000.
The many friends of Mr.. Kent
will be pleased to hear this as the
opinion has been general for some
time that he was getting the worst
of the deal. 1t seems that the
lease for the Chandler was secured
by Messrs. Costin, Mcneil and
Kent, there was to be an equal
division of the shares. Instead of
this Costin secured half and left
quarter for each of the others.
This did not come up to the agree
ments and hence the suit.
The case was heard before Judge
Hughes some time ago and has
been dragging along for a year or
more. The decision of the Judge
is to the effect that Kent is declar-
ed the owner of Al, 500 shares of
the stock of the company and is
also entitled to $4,000 in divi-
dends. All this is to be paid by
Mr.. Costin.
The filings in the case were
interesting. Kent claimed he went
in with Costin and Mcneil to
develop the Chandler, Kent being
a practical miner, with the under
standing that he was to receive
a certain number of shares as his
interest if the mine proved to be
what he claimed.
He alleged he had demonstrated
that the famous old property was
not all worked out and placed it on
a paying basis; then, he claims,
the defendants failed to live up to
the agreement and transfer the
stock interest to him. He sued for
the stock and dividends.
1t is rumored that the case will
be carried to the supreme court
providing new trial is not grant
ed by the district court.
Mcneil has suit pending against
Costin on stock deal which will
be decided later.

Vermilion range are planning to
take up with the state railroad and
warehouse commission the matter
of the train service over the Duluth
& Iron Range railroad from Tower,
Ely and other Vermilion range
points to Virginia. They believe
the long wait between trains at
Allen Junction should be overcome
in fairness to the public and all
concerned. Passengers from the
Verrnilion range to Virginia or
from Virginia to the Vermilion
range as matters stand at present
are compelled to wait several hours
at Allen Junction. Those interest
ed declare there is sufficient bust
ness between the towns on the
Mesaba and Vermilion ranges to
warrant the running of a stub train

other articles but no trace of the
fellow could be found. A constant
search is being maintained but up
to the present no tangible clues
have been discovered. Whether
the assault was committed for rob-
berry or other purposes it is hard to
say. However the feelings of the
people are not of the best and some
thing more than a mere arrest
might follow if the culprit is
caught.
We have always prided ourselves
that Our city was free from hold
ups, house-breaking and assaults
and this comes as a shock to the
credulity of the inhabitants. The
opinion is general that should the
guilty party be caught an example
be made of him or them in order to
discourage any further efforts in
that line. The police are investi-
eating the case.

One Hour More Daylight

The agitation that is now going
on to have the clocks of the nation
set ahead one hour is a move in the
right direction. The benefits from
such a course would be felt during
the summer months more than now
as it would furnish one hour more
of daylight after supper.

Change in Time

Ten minutes were cut off the
running time of the passenger run
on the afternoon train leaving Du-
luth at SIS and arriving here at 8
O'Clock instead of SIS as hereto
fore. The other trains are run on
the old schedule the only change
besides the above being the taking
off of several of the ore runs as
shown by the time table issued and
in effect the first of the year.

A small railroad operating an
oil-burning locomotive on the
Tahoe national forest, California,
had breakdown during the past
summer and burned wood instead
of oil for one day. On this day
fifteen fires started along the right
of way. During the preceding
year, only one fire occurred near
the railroad and it was not thought
that the engine was responsible for
that one.
