QUICK ACTION IS
Highly ESSENTIAL
Just one More Week and the
Doll and Toy Fund will be
Closed for this Year

Just six days more and then the
curtain will be rung down on the
1916 Doll and Toy Fund. The work
this year is going to require lots of
money, much more than the fund
now has, if every poor child in the
city is to be provided with Dolls and
Toys. The six days left will undoubt-
edly bring in more contributions than
any six days gone bye, for the last
days always are the best for this
fund.
The fund now has passed the
hundred dollar mark When returns
are made on the benefit given at the
Evangeline last night, the fund will
again shoot skyward. Are you going
to do your part toward making the
fund two hundred dollars when it
closes week from tonight. This is
not your neighbors business, its for
you, what are you going to do about
it?
All funds contributed to The Re-
view Doll and Toy Fund will be dis
bursed by The Kings Daughters OF
this city. The Peoples State and Saw
ings Bank is the place of deposit fol
the Fund but contributions will be
accepted by the banks of Morgan
City and by a number of the bust
ness men. Be certain that your name
and the correct amount you contri
butte appear in the columns Of thi:

A sPoTLEss AND
HEALTHFUL TOWN

There ought to be big boom in
for two reasons. One
that it is to be a really truly civic
center of cleanliness; the other that
it is to be made absolutely tubercu-
losis-free. For some time the Nat
ional Association for the Study and
of tuberculosis has been
contemplating the selection of a city
where it can demonstrate the sue
cessful determination of consump-
ton, the Great White Plague. After
deliberations it has selected Farm
ingham, Massachusetts,, out of sever
al hundred towns considered. About
100000 will be expended. In ad-
dition to this, the City has agreed to
improve the health work. AS part
of plan, it is proposed to place un-
der definite control every case OF
tuberculosis. birmingham will be
able to boost and boast. The Louis
lana Anti-Tuberculosis Campaign is
endeavoring to stamp out consump-
ton and relegate the disease to the
same oblivion which now envelops
yellow fever, holera, the bubonic
plague and other controllable dis
eases.

respects much improved by what is
known as the Dunn Road Law re-
quire amendment in order to meet
the needs of many localities in
Northern Minnesota.
The Elwell road law, which was
repealed at the last session of the
legislature, was crude and defective
in many particulars, but it had in
it many good and important features
of general interest which should be
re-enacted, with such proper safe
guards as will make it unobjection-
able.
Amendment Number One, which
was adopted at the recent election,
by the untiring efforts of the officers,
committees and members of this as
ISOLATION will be of no utility with
out proper legislation to make it eff
fective.
IF it is determined that this as
ISOLATION is to continue as potential
factor in the development of North
ern Minnesota there is another mat
ter to be seriously considered-the
question of finances. It is a deplOr-
able fact that some of the counties
within the territorial limits of this
association, and among them some
which have received the greatest
benefits from the things accomplish
ed by this association, are not now
and for some time have not contrib
uted a dollar towards its support.
There are instances where this is
partially due to narrowmindedness
on the part of certain county COM
missioners, but in such counties there
ought to be sufficient enterprise
in the farmers and business men to
raise by subscription the amount of
money the county is expected to con-
tribute. In two or three instances
this has been done, but in too many
of the counties apparently no effort
has been made to raise the money
for the support of this association.
This is not fair nor just to the coun-
ties which always do contribute and
something must be done to remedy
the situation. The officers and ex-
ecutive committee of the association
have tried to limit the expenses as
much as possible, but even at the

be passed which provides that taxes
on lands should not be increased by
virtue of it being cleared and put
under cultivation, for the following
reasons:
First-The clearing of land by the
settler increases the value of the ad-
joining lands owned by the state
and by nonresident freeholders.
Second-To increase the tax on
account of such improvements is vir-
fully fine placed upon industry.
Third-The state legislature Of
1913 has already established pro-
ceedings by passing law pertain
ing to tree planting in the prairie
sections, whereby the state is to pay
a bounty of $3.50 per acre for six
successive years to any person who
shall plant one or more acres Of for
est trees of any kind, other than
black locust, when such planting be
properly cared for. South Dakota
provides county bounty for tree
planting Nebraska provides both in
her constitution and in her statutes
that in the assessment of lands,
which have been planted with fruit
or forest trees, such trees may not
be taken into consideration in max
ing assessment of the land, We hold
that such provisions would be equal
ly just when applied to clearing land
in our stump land region.
Amendment Discussed.
Amendment No. / was discussed
at length. A plan submitted by
Senator McGarry provided for COM
mission to have charge of the amend
ment Five acres should be cleared
on each quarter section and after
the first years crop the settler would
pay one-fourth Of the cost with four
per cent interest. 1t is estimated that
it will cost $3.50 to clear five acres.
The plan also encourages community
interest by securing homesteaders to
do the clearing in a certain commu-
nifty.
Fred D. Sherman, state immigra-
ton commissioner, M. N. Kohl of
Cass Lake and John Doran of Two
Harbors took part in the amendment
discussion.
This afternoons session was given
over to good roads. Senator Bald
win of Frazee discussed convict la
Dor on roads. E. o. Hathaway of
the office of public roads at Wash
ington, discussed the Shackleford-
Bankhead bill for appropriating fed
eral funds for aid in building high
ways.
At the session Friday it will be
decided if the association is to con-
tinue and if so, officers will be
elected for the ensuing year.

Lincoln, secretary of the Brainerd

for the Dutch government a similar
scheme for handling other staple
food products. The government is
shying away as long as it can, but
there is no other way to handle the
situation. Also, no other way to
meet the increasing clamors of the
working population, now squeezed
hard between growing prices and
stationary wages.
The once popular queen has lost
much of her popularity, partly be-
cause of her German husband and
partly for other reasons.
There is rising tide Of resentment
because the government has done
nothing but offer wordy protests
against the torpedoing Of steamers.

country that had nothing to do with
the war and yet has been sorely hurt
by these two black years Of it.

MERELY COMMENT


HinsdaIe sassiety women will have
a dog show.
Many sassiety women who have
no babies have husbands and dogs.
But they have dog shows instead
of husband shows.
Mr.. Hughes is still seeing things
through his hindsight.
In the meantime, President Wilson
is tackling another big job.
Mr.. Hughes can't use his hind
sight on the railroad strike, so why
not tell US what his foresight sug-
gests.
Would he seize the railroads, turn
the army loose on the railroad en-
pIoyes or let nature take her course?
Or will he merely keep on throw
ing pop bottles at the umpire?
There is still another advantage
National Guard officers have over
the enlisted men
When they get tired Of border duty
they resign.
We don't recall many of them re-
signing when on duty as strikebreak-
ers, however.
Besides cunning for Big Bill the
Reverend, Mr.. Lyle is also running
for Office
And probably has been told that it
pays to advertise.
EitheE all of the saloons should be
kept closed on Sunday or all should
be permitted to keep open.
Using the law to reward the adj
mtnistration friends and punish it's
enemies is bum policy.

son administration has made some
bad appointments.
Was there ever an administration
that didn't?
Or was there ever one that didn't
