mental attitude mas upon your
friends, your health and business?
Stop your sCOwling a minute and
listen to this. The Day Book believes
that right now, when half the world
is at war, humanity has learned more
than ever to appreciate the simple
comfort of a smile. For that reason
we are going to give our readers a
series Of four stories on 'The Psy-
chOlOgy Of a Smile"
Miss Lillian Benfeldt Thompson, a
San Francisco girl, whose smile and
beauty have made her famous, is the
author Of the series.
She is fully qualified to write on
smiling. After a three months con-
test in which thousands of girls were
entered, Miss Thompson was chosen
by a committee of artists and beau
ty judges as the Typical California
Girl" and as such she reigned as
queen of the Prosperity ball last win
ter during the celebration Of Prosper
ity Week.
At the exposition last year she was
picked out of group of San Fran
clScO'S pretueSt girls as the most
beautiful in the crowd by no one less
than Francis X. Bushman, famous
beauty expert of the movies. HarTi-
son Fisher, noted artist, wanted her
to pose for his works, but her parents
would not permit her to grace the
pages of the magazines.
And with all this and much more
to her credit, she is not spoiled. That
means, of course, that she has brains
as well as beauty.
Read her stories on why she be-
Heves in the smile as a panacea for
human ills and we believe your day
and the days to come will be a bit
brighter for the reading.

GASOLINE EXPLOSIONS
NUMEROUS IN SMALL TOWNS

Many garage fires from the smaller
towns and villages of Minnesota are
being reported, says Robert w. Har-
gadine, state fire marshal.
Four men were injured, one pro-
badly fatally, as a result of careless
placing of barrel of gasoline in a
garage at Clinton last week.
Persons conducting garages are
evidentally becoming careless and it
is important that the dangerous ele-
ment in gasoline should never be
overlooked for an instant. The absent
minded man who places a burning
cigar or cigarette stub near barrel
of gasoline, or who takes a lighted
lamp into garage is taking his life
in his hands, and is also criminally
negligent in relation to the destruc-
tion of property.
Never take chances. Be sure the
gasoline tank even though it is out
side of the garage is perfectly tight,
and never, above all things, fail to
observe the common rule of caution.

TO BURN 81 SlASHlNG
NORTH OF the VILLAGE

At the Commercial Club meeting
held last Monday night a commit
tee consisting of Ed. Toftey, F. R.
Paine, Chas. Taylor, and P. J. Bayle
was appointed to consider the ad-
visibility of burning off the slash
ing just north of the village which
has grown to be fire menace to
the safety of the village. The COM
mittee after considering the mater
has decided to burn off the slashing
at the first possible favorable op-
portunity.
1t is the plan to make local holi-
day of the affair, getting out all the
men available and to make a good
clean job of the matter. The woods
to the west of the Village is fairly
we'll burned off and the danger from
that direction is past, for a few
years at least. To the north it con-
sists of slashings piled from four to
ten feet high and when dry would
make hot fire if famed by a little
wind. The matter is we'll worthy of
attention at this time as the brush
getting quite dry and the danger of
burning is the least of any time in
the year.

ALGER SMITH SAWMlLL
WILL REOPEN NOV. q
Garfield Avenue Plant of This Com
pany, Will be Operated Dur
ing the Winter

The Garfield avenue sawmill of the
Alger-Smith Lumber company will be
operated this winter with large
crew, according to the announcement
by officials Of the company. The
mill is now closed for repairs but
will be reopened about Nov. 20.
The company is now organizing it's
lumber camps in Cook county and
logs will be shipped within the next
week.
The mill will employ 200 men days
and IT'S men nights if logs can be
obtained to warrant the mill oper-
ating both day and night shifts.
A hot pond will be utilized in the
handling of the logs. The pond is
kept free of ice by waste steam from
the mill piped into it.
1t was proposed last summer to
move the mill to Cascade lake, Cook
county, where it would be closer to
the lumber camps, but it was deci-
ded recently to keep the mill at its
present location. An official of the
company declared that the by-pro'
ducts of the mill, such as slabs and
sawdust, which now find a market
in Duluth, would be a waste. The
mill is now located advantageously
for the sale of finished lumber.-Du

SUMMARY OF THE
ELECTION RETURNS

The presidential contest is quite
close and both parties have had their
good and bad turns during the past
twelve hours. At the hour of going
to press the Wilson supporters are
very blue with the Hughes men
hopefully jubiliant but the margin
does not seem to be big enough for
a sure thing.
In regard to our next represen-
tative in the Legislature, the result
is somewhat in doubt but the chan
ces are for McCullough's election.
The Grand Portage vote is yet to
be received and probably will not
be received for a couple days.
The Telephone Company very OBJ
lgingly were on duty all night and
reports were received by the anxi-
Gus quite frequently, and the early
news seemed to indicate the elec-
tion of Hughes as the eastern states
gave him landslides in their votes.

LAUDs NORTH SHORE ROAD

Minnesota is better known as a
prairie than mountain state, and
yet there is beautiful mountain

TRAINING IN
The PUBLIC SCHOOL S

The militarist party in the United
States is most eager to place mill
tary training in the Public schools.
Bills were introduced in the last
session of the New Jersey Assembly,
providing that all male pupils enter
ing high school should take course
in army nursing. Despite Europe's
costly and tragic lesson, there are
still those who would promote peace
by preparing for war. There is
more truth than poetry in the ex-
preston that Europe exploded be-
cause she was loaded. Are we will
ing for our schools to be recruiting
stations for militarism? Shall we
permit the atavistic war spirit to be
bred and carefully nurtured in the
next generation.
The Kansas City Board of Educa-
tion has expressed itself unanimous
ly in favor of military training in
the public schools. The members of
this board of education are business
men, judges-those who profit by
the present system of society and
are ardent for it's defense and pro-
lection. What more natural than
that they should desire every boy in
the country to be reared to protect
and defend that which exists for
their benefit.
One word runs thru the express
sion of every one of these board
members. That word is Obedience.
AS one judge naively says, l favor
military education because it tea
ches the youth to perform duties
without asking questions" Exactly
so. So long as the youth of this
land can be trained to obey without
questioning the commands from a.
bove, so long may exploitation rest
secure. The men and women who
constitute democracy, however,
are not those who obey without
thinking, but are those who think
for themselves. The dogma, II do
not think l obey", is the dogma
which the ruling class has ever held
up as the ideal for the common peo-
pie. Thru state and church and
schools they have striven to force
th's s*ideal upon. the. workers of the
world. They have offered them hea-
ven as reward for docility and o.
bedience and dangled over them
hell as a punishment for rebellion
against the powers that be-for
daring to think instead of obey. 81
do not obey, think" is the shib-
boleth of people awake to their
own interests and capable of gov
erning themselves without orders
from above.

CUTTING CROPS FOR SlLAGE
Most Plants Reach Full Feeding Value
at or Near Maturity, Accord
ing to an Expert.

Silage crops should not be cut until
they are we'll toward maturity. Most
crops reach their full feeding value at
or near maturity. To make silage of
them before this stage is wasteful.
The silage will be low in feeding
value; it is usually sour and may spoil.
According to John NJ. Scott, ami
NAL industrialist to the University
Of Florida experiment station, more
poor silage is made from immature
than from over-ripe crops.
Corn should never be cut when the
ear is forming, because most Of the
food is made after that stage. It
should be cut when the grain is in
the hard dough stage and beginning
to dent, or when the outside shucks
on the ears are drying and turning
brown. Sorghum makes the best sill
age when the seeds are in the
hard dough stage. Some of the lower
leaves may be dry at this time but
water can be added if necessary.
A crop is never too dry to be put
into the silo as long as there are
some green blades on the stalks. The
farmer is more apt to cut his silage
crop too soon than too late. If it is
too dry to make good silage, water
may be added at the cutting box or at
the fan.
