TN DISTRICT No. we have tried
TO make the personal note the
keynote of the campaign. Every
city, town and village in the district
las been divided into small sections,
with a canvasser attached to each
section who is responsible for the
progress of the loan in his territory.
81 know everybody in my section
and he knows me-" asserted one cam
vasser. And not only that. he knows
that if | don't get him III send some
one else after him, and in the end he'll
he rounded up"
We have based our campaign FOR
the present loan almost entirely on
the advisability Of the partial pay
ment plan, the bonds subscribed for
upon this basis to be paid for out OF
real savings. The banks are coopera-
ting splendidly. They are lending
freely at low rates of interest.
Five hundred thousand dollars Of
bonds have been taken up to date by
manufacturers and merchants Of this
district who are undertaking to carry
subscriptions for their employees on
the partial payment plan.
The machinery for the real work
of the campaign is now thoroughly
oiled and we are now getting into our
stride and expect our organization to
show rich productivity before the end
of the campaign.

ID EPORTS received from Distric.
~ No. 7 are encouraging. While
it is yet too early 10 speak Of actual
results in the way of signed SUD-
scriptions, it is a fair assumption
that before the close of the books
the results will be good. As in the
last campaign, the subscriptions
from any community seem to be in
almost direct proportion to the eff.
cheney Of the committee organization,
and the result throughout the dis
trict should be better than in the last
loan.
I In almost every instance a house
toulouse canvass has been planned
for each community. In many cases,
however, this has not yet actually
taken place.
Clifton, Crawford, Bernardsyile
and Glen Ridge are the first four
towns TO report actual subscriptions
in excess of their quota, and a num-
Der of other towns have reported
that. while subscriptions are not &C.
tually in hand, they can give definite
assurance that they will exceed their
allotment.
Paterson fell below rs quota in
the last campaign, but il now has
an excellent organization which is
producing splendid results and IS op.
timistic as to the final showing. II
Hudson County, with its large quotas
in Jersey City, Hoboken and West
Hoboken, makes good, the Commits
for the Jersey district is coniden,
that the district will do its full share.

people of New York must help us.
Some of the trades have done very
we'll. Some are far behind the sched-
ule. At the end Of the third week
the Shipping, Export and Import
Committee led the list in the volume
of bonds purchased, with nearly
S11 900, 900 taken. The chemical and
drug trades were next with over
S8.50O.OOO taken. The coal, jewelry,
tobacco and brewery trades all have
their figures well up in the millions
Put we need many millions more,
and I hope every New Yorker Will
realize it and in this last week OF
the loan campaign will take stock OF
his money and his patriotism and
will come forward with them both.

Chairman Subdivision No. 3

THIS time it is put up to us to
l. raise "a per cent of our bank
ing resources. This is naturally a
pretty hard Job. Just the same, it
can and will be done. But the man
in the street who is neither very
rich nor very poor is not yet awake
to The situation.
The committees of merchants
trades, manufacturers, farmers,
with the enthusiastic help of the
women's committee, are finding that
many of the people don't know yet
that the United States is at war
When they see it they are willing to
do their share and more. Tire time
is short; only week is left. Never
theless, we feel that We can get an
oversubscription.

G.. DE b. GREENE
Chairman Advisory Committee. New
York City

ONE of the most interesting feat
" ures Of the Liberty Loan cam
paign in greater New York is the
work of the Rainbow Division, as
the Advisory Trades Committee is
called. The experience of the first
campaign showed that there were
not at hand a sufficient number Of
experienced bond statesmen to cover
the Second Reserve District or even
that part of it comprised in this city.
To carry on thorough canvass il was
necessary to enlist the services Of a
large army Of volunteer workers.
In the City Of New York this
work OF canvassing was divided
among the individual trades. Each
trade has its central Liberty Loan
committee, which has working under
its supervision a number Of canvass.

WITH nearly two thousand vol
w unteer solicitors at work,
every possible effort is being made
10 push the Liberty Loan in Newark.
In a general way the results have
been good, but they are not by any
means satisfactory.
There is evidence, however, that
possible purchasers are waking up
to the necessity of subscribing. and
the local committee is hopeful Of put
ting the load over the top In this
city the bulk of the subscriptions
up to date have come from the large
insurance companies and other coz
porations.
The small investor has been 50
far a negligible quantity in the tota''
the general explanation for not SUD
scribing being that the wage earners
have not yet finished their weekly
! instruments for the first issue and
that they cannot afford, in the face
Of the high cost OF. living, 20 have
more money taken from their. en-
velopes to pay for bonds Of the Sec
ond issue.
The middle class and the sup
1 posedly wealthy men, as well as some
OF the corporations, have deferred
the making of subscriptions on tne
/ plea that they do not yet know where
they stand in the matter OF taxation

HIGHWAY commission
MAKES APPROPRIATION
$15,5 90 State Aid for Roads Ar
propriated for Cook County
For This Year.

County Auditor Carter returned
last evening from St. Paul where he
attended the final meeting of the
state highway commission in the in
terest of Cook county.
Mr.. Carter says the appropriation
of state aid for all the counties
were cut down considerable this
year on account of the extra amount
allowed for the Minneapolis-D Duluth
road; $4,000 being appropriated for
this road.
At a previous meeting this county
had been allowed $4,000 for this
year, but through his representation
the amount was raised to $4,000,
which is approximately the amount
that has heretofore been usually ap-
portioned to this county under the
liberal policy of the commission.
H. A. LeSueur has been appointed
by the state highway commissioner
as highway engineer for this county
and is expected here tomorrow. He
comes from Beltrami county where
he has served as road engineer for
the past two years.

EVERYONE SHOULD ~
HAVE WAR GARDEN

~sssssssro'y family in Minnesota should
have it's own garden this year. "To
DO SO will be to release supplies for
the armies that are fighting for bro
therhood and peace" says Dean A.
f. Woods Of the Minnesota College
Of Agriculture.
ITO hasten the close of the war;"
adds Dean Woods, 1--WE must feed the
people in the armies. The farmers
are doing everything possible and
the people Of the towns should as
sist by avoiding waste and extrava-
gance. They should make gardens
not only in their back yards, but in
their front-yards as we'll, and on va
cant lots. They should organize gar
den clubs, including women and
children, and grow enough to supply
their needs not only through the
summer, but through the winter
They can do this by intensive effort
Dean Woods urges boys and girls
clubs, boy scouts, teachers, preach
ers and all public-spirited citizens to
lead in this work.

URGES need OF
PLANTING SPRUCE

Minnesota can and should prepare
for its future newspaper supply by
planting suitable lands with the
spruces, and especially with white
spruce, says w. H. Kenety of the Clo-
quet Forest Experiment Station.
White spruce, adds Mr.. Kenety,
has the best fibre and in Minnesota
it makes rapid growth reaching a
diameter Of six inches in % years. A
fully stocked plantation in the re-
gion of Cloquet will give an annual
yield of SO cords of pulpwood to the
acre in 40 or As years.
This is better than can be done in
other states. In the east and in
Canada paintings are being made
both by states and provinces and By
big paper companies.
Minnesota has much state land a.
dapted to the growing of spruce and
Mr.. Kenety believes that publishers
and paper manufacturers should j.
mite in demanding that the state de-
vote its suitable state lands to the
production Of spruce, adopting such
tax reforms and other measures as
will make it possible for private in
dlvlduals or companies to practice
forestry on their own lands, thus
supplementing the work on state
| lands.

patriotism by one day of hard work
for the common good.

L0EHNER-MURPHY NUPTIALS

Mr.. Wilbur E. Loehner and Miss
Blanche Murphy were married on
Tuesday morning at nine o'clock at
the Catholic church in this village.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Father Simon Of Cloquet, and nup-
tial mass was celebrated. After the
ceremony, wedding breakfast was
served at the home of the brides
parents for the family and relatives.
Last evening reception was given
in honor of the bridal couple at
which about seventy-fve guests were
present. There was an impromptu
program Of appropriate music and
recitations, which included also fell
citous remarks by DR.. F. B. Hicks
and C. C. Monker. A sumptuous re-
past was served during the evening,
the event on the whole being such a
greeting Is and ushering in Of the
married life of this popular young
couple as to be treasured by them
among their most lasting and CRATE
ful remembrances. Tables in the
2ome were fairly burdened with
gifts, rich, rare and useful, lavished
upon them by their friends in the
community.
The groom has resided here lit
tie more than year, but during this
comparatively short time his exem-
plary conduct has won for him de-
served popularity among the younger
set in the vicinity.
The bride was born in Grand Ma
rails, and has resided here with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Chris Murphy,
all of her life time, which fact gives
a touch of special interest to this
happy event.
The greeting so splendidly extend
ed to them on this most momentous
| occasion of their lives is the earnest
expression by their friends in the
village of the hope of a happy and
| prosperous married life
This was the first wedding cere-
mony performed at the new Catholic
| church in Grand Marais.

THIS WORLD CROWDED

There are on this globe about L.
500,000,000 inha bitants. Most of us,
who lack the sense of proportion, at
the mention of this big number are
apt to speak Of the ''over-population
of the world. Yet if we spare few
moments thought we shall better
know what this represents. There is
in my study room a geographic globe
about fifteen inches in diameter. On
that sphere there is marked little
spot about the size of the point of a
pencil-at any rate, SO small as to
make it impossible to write the ini-
tials of it's name-Lake Champlain-
upon it.
Yet whenever Lake Champlain
freezes over there is good standing
room for every one of all the inhabi-
tants Of the earth, and this lake
would be considerably less crowded
than some of the busy streets of
New York. Indeed, strange as it
may sound, every one, young and old,
would find about one square yard to
stand upon. Nay, more, if the very
young and the very old would please
to stand aside on the shores of the
lake the remainder of the total in
habitants of the world would ar
range skating party where they
would be less crowding~ than is seen
on a busy winter day on that skat-
ing pond in New York's Central park
Sketching the pictures is like Wis
ualizing the great tragedy of the
human race-the few people Of this
earth do not begin to realize their
immense opportunities and their un-
used resources; meanwhile they have
the insane feeling that the world is
"over-populated." All our science,
our religion, our art have not given
us common sense enough to learn
how to use them to live conf fortably
and happily-we, this mere handful
of inhabitants on this immense world
of ours Nor does it look as if we
were going to get to our senses be-
fore many generations to come as
long as we keep or muddling and
blundering, as long as greed and van
ity, lust for power, the main inheri-
tance Of the aims and thoughts of
the past, together with some of our
time honored traditions, keep us in
the cold, relentless grip of bygone
ages.-From Renewing the Earth
