NOTHING TO REPORT.

During our first summer in the
trenches there were days, sometimes
weeks, at a time when, in the lam
guage of the official bulletins, there
was nothing to report" or "calm"
prevailed "along our entire front"
From the point of view of the war
Office, these statements were doubt
less true enough. There were no
great battles, there was no wholesale
slaughtering of soldiers. But from
Tommy Atkins point of view,
"calm" was putting it somewhat
mildly. Life in the trenches, even
on the quietest of days, is a long bat
tie of British resourcefulness versus
German ingenuity. Shippers, ma
chine gunners, artillerymen, airmen,
engineers, signalmen of the opposing
sides, vie with each other in daring
and skill in order to secure that COW
eted advantage, the morale. Tommy
calls it the more-ale, but he jolly well
knows when he has it and when he
hasn't.-James Norman Hall, in
Atlantic.

Reelected President

A booklet giving the minutes of
the Eleventh Annual Meeting of
the Northern Pine Manufacturer S
Association held at the Radisson
Hotel in Minneapolis short time
ago, shows that Thos. S. Written
of Winton was reelected president
of the association for the year.
In his annual address to the as
ISOLATION President Written; among
other things said the following:
AS you all of course are aware,
the past year has been the most
wonderful one experienced by lum-
Der organizations, and more endur-
ing work has been accomplished
during this period of time than has
ever occurred before in the history
of the lumber business.
There has been a great spirit of
cooperation in all branches of our
industry, and through the spirit of
mutual helpfulness many problems
connected with production and
distribution have been, solved. at
least in good part, through intelli-
gent and efficient work. And
think this in a measure is largely
responsible for the favorable out
look for the year 1916, and 1 trust
there will be no let up whatever in
the good work, not alone this year,
but for many years to come"

Ignorance of the state laws on
speed and control of automobiles
brought grief to fifty-three out of
the seventy would-be chauffeurs
who took the exams" last week
according to w. H. Healy of Du-
luth state examiner for this dis
trict.
Four out of ten questions given
the applicant were on the state
laws, and examiners throughout
the state are taking particular pains
that these are answered.
A few of those whose marks
were low may be given a chance to
redeem themselves in a driving
test. according to Examiner Healy.
This is the first year that a driving
test has been given, and was adopt
ed when the state board decided
that chauffeurs' examinations were
not severe enough.

miring his improved appearance and
the refinement Of manner he had &C.
quired. she mourned the loss OF the
dear, simple boy.and.girl comradeship
that had been theirs before he went
away.
Circumstances had not offered her
the same advantage, but Elsa was no
dullard and her quick wit, perseverance
and a good practical course Of home

had said not word to any one. had
given her also something to show for
the years they had been separated.

commonplace little country girl who

He felt the need of intellectual COM

Appreciating something of all this,
Elsa kept out of his way as much as
possible, too hurt and proud to try to
hold her own. She was an orphan and
Paul's invalid aunt. who was fond of
her, had taken her as sort of COM
panion and to help with the younger
children. Pau!'s home since his moth

the old tender intimacy was gone and
neither made any attempt to resume

assume an admirable pretense OF in
