SOUTH LOUISIANA FAIR
Notes Of Interest Relating to This
Years Big Exhibition

In the interest Of food conserva-
ton, all exhibits of fruits and vege-
tables put up in glass will be judged
at the South Louisiana Fair at Dom
aldsonville this year without opening
the jars, except only in cases where
the competition is so close as to
make this necessary.
The new fair catalog is now being
printed and will be ready for distri-
button during the month. A copy will
be mailed you free on application. In
addition to all of the premiums of
last year new ones have been listed,
and every one should commence to
get his exhibit ready. The fair asso-
citation is now being placed on a
sound financial basis and money
will be on hand to pay off all premi-
ums promptly after the awards are
made.
This promises to be the greatest
agricultural year in the history of
our section, and in fact, not to be
behind-hand, will be the best and
biggest in the history Of the associa-
ton.
Remember the time and place
October At at Donaldsonville.-

THE PACIFISTS WAR

It would not be far wrong to
call this the Pacifists War. The out
come of it will necessarily mean dis
armament, and a tribunal to enforce
the meaning of SCRAPS Of paper. !"
It will come nearer to the Pacifist's q
dream than centuries Of propaganda
could accomplish.
The true Pacifist il making q
great citizen. and . loyal American
soldier. He has found himself and
feels individual responsibility ~
never before. It viii take IN Of N
to win; but it 10 much easier and less
disheartening to give our resources
generously, than to spare human
values. The soldiers are supplied ;
our labor and resources at home
must be given to the soldiers We
have away from home. We have q
noble start.

FRENCH VICTORY Is
GAINED ON VERDUN
FRONT
Italians Make Big Winning
On Isonzo

With the British troops busily en-
gagged in the successful parrying Of
German counter-thrusts against the
newly-won grounds in Flanders, the
French and the Italians have started
monster offensives-the French
against the Germans near Verdun
and the Italians against the Aus
trians from the region of PLAYA to
the headwaters of the Adriatic sea.
Sharp, decisive blows have gained
for the French positions held by the
Germans on a front of more than
eleven miles, extending from the
Avocourt wood eastward across the
River Meuse and into the Bois de
Chaume, while the Italians, after q
bombardment of an intensity never
before experienced in that theater,
have leveled Austrian defenses,
crossed the ruins and also the Isonzo
river, and now are at deadly grip
with the enemy along a front Of
about thirty-seven miles.

RED CROSS PLANS
CHRISTMAS CHEER
FOR SOLDIERS

The American Red Cross with its
three r,illion members has just COM
pleted plans for the Christmas
Cheer Of eveiy soldier and sailor in
the National Service. Many of the
men who will be in the cantonments
and trenches this year will be spend
ing their first Christmas away from
home. None will be forgotten.
Red Cross Chapters nearest the
80 Army Camps and Cantonments
will probably arrange in their own
towns. Community Christmas Trees
with carols, pageants and Holiday
Movies to which the 100000 men in
training will be invited.
Arrangement of the details of the
Christmas celebration for our men
in France is being made, but the
Red Cross will see to it that every
soldier has his Christmas package
with its message of goodwill from
the women on the home side of the
Atlantic. There will be surprises in
every package, but all of them are
likely to contain writing paper,
pipes, tobacco, cigars and cigarettes,
unbreakable mirrors, puzzles, domi-
noes, handkerchiefs and playing
cards.
Many Of the Chapters are already
at work finishing their Christmas al
lotments of comfort bags. Most Of
them are made of khaki and are
furnished with extra pairs of wood
en- socks, housewives with needles,
pins, thread and buttons. Detailed
suggestions Of how to wrap these
Christmas packages for shipping
will be issued by the Red Cross. The
Red Cross will also welcome the CO.
operation Of anyone desiring to have
a part in sending Christmas Cheer
to the men training or At the front.
Some people will want to give
money to buy articles, bags, mouth
organs, envelopes and paper, safety
razors, extra soap, spoons and
knives. Some will want to have a
personal part in tying up the pack
ages. Children will be asked to help
with the package making.
The gifts will be bought from con-
tributions especially given for the
Christmas greeting. The Red Cross
War Fund will not be used for this
purpose.
Last year the American Red Cross
sent presents of various kinds to the
men on the Mexican border, and the
marines at Haiti and San Domingo.
The articles were suggested by Gen.
eral Pershing on the request of the
Red Cross officials.

OLIVE THOMAS TELLS OF
STRENUOUS WORK IN FILM
ING FIRST PICTURE.

The days in a gymnasium, whole

the new Triangle star, who will be
presented in "Madcap Madge", by
Thomas H. Ince today at the Arcade.
"And these were not all the
strenuous performances which had
to undergo. During the first days at
the studios, when we were filming
the opening scenes of 'Madcap
Madge,' was told that the scenario
required that l ride around on the
back Of a calf. Everybody knows
that calves will not stand still, and
this one was no exception to the
rule. l was in pajamas, with bedroom
slippers on my feet. Well, it stepped
on my feet more than once, and
its back was about as comfortable
as q broom handle.
"The next scenes were taken in a
gymnasium. swung dumbbells until
my arms were stiff; I performed on
the trapeze, the bars and the horse
until my body felt as if it had a
toothache. The roller skating was
not so bad. though I have not at
tempted it since I was in school. But
for few falls l got along fairly
well.
"The climax was reached when
the straw, and was mighty glad it
was the end of the production, and
I am also thankful that my next pic

Editor Review
Morgan City, La.
Dear Sir
Rather late in keeping my promise
but trust l may not be denied a
hearing even if l fail to vindicate
myself as to delay. Business affairs
together with calling and being call
ed upon have filled my time, except
that devoted to absolute loafing.
Four weeks have passed since our
leaving home and the time has pass
ed so swiftly it seems not half that
long.
Passing through central Mississ-
lppl, crop prospects as viewed from
the car window were poor. It was
night time when we passed through
Tennessee, Kentucky and southern
Illinois. In central Illinois all the
crops were good-the corn a little
late but good color and clean,
promising good yield. In Michigan,
hay, oats and wheat are above the
average and the weather fine for
harvesting. A large acreage of
beans, potatoes and corn was plant
ed here but l never saw corn 50
backward. Since my arrival the
weather has been warm and the corn
has grown very fast. Recently the
weather has been warn and the corn
has grown very fast. Recently the
weather was cool, almost cold but il
again warm and very dry. Beans and
potatoes are subject to bugs and
blight and eternal vigilance will be
the price paid for a good yield.
Much depends on weather condi-
tions and we give little thought to
the fact that the ultimate success or
failure of all economic and material
human effort is very largely depend
ent upon sunshine and rain. We
accept what comes because we have
to and are elated or depressed as
they are for or against our interests.
Resorters are not at all plentiful
on the lake shore and it bids fair to

be poor season. Weather and war
conditions and auto touring cars
are against it. Most everyone is
busy. A few quasi invalids and con-
firmed loafers claim hard times and
nothing to do.
Soldiers are in evidence in all
towns and are being concentrated
and equipped preparatory to train
ing for actual service. The Battle
Greek cantonment to house and

TODD COUNTY CREAMERIEs

At the first annual summer
convention of the State Dairy,
mems Association, recently held
at Brainerd, Rudolph "A. Lee:
editor Of he Long Prairie Leader
spoke on the subject, "Successfu]
Dairy Community as Village
and City Builder Mr.. Lee
stated that Todd county now has
fourteen cooperative creameries
and that, last year, they paid
81 100000 in cash for cream. The
larger creameries pay from $685.
600 to $150,00o per annum.
The first creamery in the
county was established II years
ago. The county then had but
three banks with deposits aggre.
eating $164,000. Today, there
are 18 banks in the county with
deposits aggregating $3,000,0O0
The cooperative creamery is con.
sidered the corner stone OF
prosperity in Todd county.

Jim Names made the Miller hotel
smell like a burning forest glade
by smoking kinnikinic in a Mis-.
souri, meerschaum. Fred Bessette
is credited with catching the
solid Indian vote around Pelican
Lake when he ran for the legis.
lature because he smoked genu.
inc Net Lake kinnikinic.
Some of the vegetable products
used in making kinnikinic will
be mixed with real tobacco and
then rolled into cigarettes by ma.
chinery and the deft fingers OF
Ojibway maidens.
If the kinnikinic output sells
successfully, Indian labor will be
secured for the manufacture o1
brown stone peace pipes, beaded
moccasins, porcupine quill work
buckskin garments, Indian weap
ons, birch bark novelties and
Indian dolls.
Brainerd may feel chesty over
the credit of producing CHIEF
Bender but Barrows proposes to
possess the only really and truly
kinnikinic cigarette factory or
the continent.
This back to first principles
movement among the Chippewa
Indians is credited with having
been inspired by the Sim Feir
movement in Ireland and the
"back home week" movement In
New England.

KINNIKINIC CIGARETTES
Will BE MADE FOR MARKET
Gus Beaulieu Is Promoting Factory for BarrOWs
Mnn, That Will Make Fifty Thousand
Indian Smokes a Day.

Barrows, near Brainerd, one of
the towns where the iron mines
are, expects to have a kinnikinic
cigarette factory before the dog
days roll by. Gus. II. Beaulieu
is one Of the men behind the en-
terprise and he now is in Brook
lyn, N. Y, to purchase machin-
cry. So far as possible, Chippewa
Indians from the reservations will
be employed in the factory and
as statesmen. At first, the factory
capacity will be fifty thousand
cigarettes per day, which will
require from three to five hun
dred pounds Of kinnikinic and
an equal quantity of real tobacco.
Kinnikinic is a Chippewa word
and literally means ga mixture. -
It is the everyday name for elm
dian tobacco" Kinnikinic is
made from the leaves and barks
of various trees and shrubs. Will
low and sumac leaves often are
used. The bearberry also fur
nishes a kinnikinic that the In
dams believe to be q cure for or
preventative of malarial fever.
Pocahontas gleefully blew kin
nikinic smoke in the face of Capt.
John Smith as she made goo-goo
eyes at him. Minnehaha made a
great hit with Hiawatha by roll
ing him kinnikinic cigarettes and
then sportily lighting them be-
fore handing them to him to puff.

OPPOSITION TICKET
FACES OLD MEMBERS

Of the season. Then, later, when
heavy summer and fall rains
have fallen, all to the damage of
the country roads, there has been
a lack of money and men to
make repairs, do emergency work
or to perform unexpected work.
The farmers do their heavy
hauling to and from market in
the fall. Then is when they need
the very best Of roads. Then is
when they often find them the
very worst. The bad condition
is the result of zeal and hurry to
make things hum early in the
season.
This critical citizen does not
offer his suggestions in a fault
finding spirit but in a most kindly
way and with the hope that, if
needed by any commissioner, it
will be kindly taken and duly
considered.
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-07-21
BATTLING With BALLOTS FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD

ended, slips away quietly to his
home.
Worthy man that county sur
veyor Anderson may be, he is
not credited with being a real
surveyor or engineer. The law,
peculiar to relate, does not so
require, just as it once did not
require the judge of probate to
be a lawyer. It is asserted that
Mr.. Anderson never had much
technical training. He resided
for many years on a farm.
There's a legend that he once
worked for Ray Nichols. Whether
he carried light axe, raised on
high a red and white rod or
dragged a chain through the
bushes, is not definitely stated.
He does not even hire a
technically skilled deputy, as the
law permits.
When he slipped onto the
county ticket and then got
elected, his magnum opus, as the
composers say, was the survey
ing Of some lots at West Duluth,
a task that required him to find
a stake with a tack center and
then measure accurately with a
steel tape to another stake with
a tack in the top, in keeping with
an official plat, previously made
and duly provided.
Some critics of Mr.. Anderson S
ability as a surveyor and en-
gineer declare that, for money,
marbles or chalk, he cannot ac-
curately and properly check a
surveyors plat.
Both the road engineers and
the county commissioners utterly
ignore the county surveyor. They
probably would do so if he were
ever so competent but not COM
placent.
There was a time when the
great county of St. Louis elected
to the office of county surveyor
such men as w. B. Patton, Fred
Davis, G.. P. Frank, Ray Nichols,
and Col. Lionel Ayres.. For some
reason, that commendable custom
has fallen into innocuous de-
suetude.
A certain citizen and voter
wishes to suggest to the county
commissioners that they do not,
in many cases, at least, start too
much road work early in the sea-
son. This custom Of starting
all the big work early and hiring
the maximum of men usually has
been we'll meant, probably, but
the outcome has not been advan-
tageous.
Frequently, the appropriation
for the entire season has been
used up in the first few months
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-07-21

commissioners cannot say as
much for themselves.
Because of forbearance, modes.
ty or self-denial in not pulling
down this modicum Of $500 of
lawful money of the United
States, county surveyor Anderson
has not been received into real
fellowship by the commissioners
and road engineers. Worse than
that, he actually has been barred
by the National Grafters' Union.
They consider him ineligible be-
cause his failure, refusal or neg
lect to grab every dollar the
office permits is unethical and
unprofessional. Even some of
the double-barrelled boys in the
noble courthouse look on him
with pity, if not contempt.
Not a word has been heard
against county surveyor Ander-
sons morals but, if he ever has
done a an's-size job at county
surveying since he took his oath
of office, the Rip-saw has failed
to discover it. In 1915, he turned
in no fees whatever, which is
reasonable proof that he surveyed
nothing more than his salary
checks, otherwise there would
have been fees to turn in.
A recent but limited search in
the county auditors office ut
terly failed to reveal any report
for the year 1916. Such a report
would indicate any fees and any
surveying done that year.
There are ample indications,
however, that county surveyor
Anderson was on deck all Of
1916. The financial statement,
published by good Konge Odin
for at least partial information
of his subjects, shows that twelve
salary checks, each in the sum
Of $20S.33, were drawn during
that year.
Further than that, the financial
statement shows that office ex-
penses in the sum of $12.63 were
incurred in 1916 and allowed by
the generous old county. Voucher
No. 242546 shows that county
| surveyor Anderson, himself, in
Cured an expense of $1.S8.
Voucher No. 258779 testifies that
T. Odegard, a deputy in auditor
Halden's office, got $40 Of the
expense money. Voucher No.
273424 proves that rs cents were
absorbed by the Architects &
Engineers Supply Co. in the
gladstone year 1916.
The wise old laws of the match
less state of Minnesota have a
few things to say about the
county surveyor and his office.
In St. Louis county the term Of
office is four years long, bearing
an agreeable salary of $4,000 per
annum and not to exceed $500
a year, additional, for actual
| travelling expenses. A bond in
the sum of $500 also is required
of this official.
This law compels the county
| surveyor to make all surveys
within his county as ordered by
the court, any public board, pub
lie officer or as required by any
person. Such surveys shall be
numbered progressively and a
copy of the field notes preserved,
which field notes shall be COM
plete and accurate. A copy of
the data pertaining to any survey
| shall be furnished to any person
requesting it, the calculations and
number being properly endorsed
thereon.
When section posts or quarter
posts, as originally fixed by the
U. S. surveyor, are destroyed or
