Dear Doctor Hicks:
Permit me to give expression to
the grateful appreciation of all mem

ed friends of the unexampled hospit-
ality which the citizens of your will
age extended to them during their

The enthusiasm with which you all
entered into the arrangements for
this international celebration of the

We from the Canadian Head of the
Lakes who were privileged to take
part in this celebration, will cherish
recollections of two very happy days,

PLANNING PARTING FESTI.
VAL TO DRAFTED MEN

AS those who will respond to the
first call of our drafted men will
leave for camp soon the people of
the community are planning some fit
ing festival in their honor: The plans
are not yet completed but it is like
ly to take place on Saturday, Sept
ember 18th. An effort will be made
to have the Minnesota Public Safety
Commission furnish a speaker for
the day. If the weather permits
picnic has been suggested with
banquet in the evening.
This will be one of the most inn
portant occasions of our community
life and is worthy of our attention.
Lets give the boys a good send off
and make them feel that we appre-
ciate the service they are about to
render.

have them better and stronger and
earlier than you can buy them.
If you plan to have a hot-bed or {.
small greenhouse there is still time
to get going and planted now be-
fore freezing weather if you act
promptly. In fact by buying
ready cut frame or house, a few
hours or a couple Of days time is all
that is required to get ready for use.
To take full advantage of it, the
plants for the first crop should be

ough to Transplant to the bed or
bench under glass as soon as ready
Much of the success of growing
things under glass depends on using
the right varieties. Not all of
those which are leaders outside will
serve for growing inside. Of let
tuce, Grand Rapids is the most sat-
factory, loos heading kind, while
Burpee's Wayahead and Big Boston
are favorite varities. In addition
there is little Mignonette, not grown
for market, but excellent for the
home table. In radishes Burpee's
Rapid Red makes one of the best
forcing kinds, being ready to eat in
three to four weeks, and with very
small foliage. Crimson Giant Globe
requires more room but makes a pro-
portionately bigger root. Comet and
Chalk's Jewel both do very we'll un-
der glass, but for growing indoors
many people prefer the English or
smaller type, of which Burpee's
Whole Salad is fine variety. In
! cucumbers, Fordhook Famous and
Davis perfect, the two most popular
for outside growing, are equally de-
sirable inside.
Earliest Short Horn carrot, Early
Model and Crosby Egyptian beets,

| are other standard under glass var
ieties.
While a temperature of 40 to SO
at night is plenty for lettuce, ra-
dishes, beets, carrots, and spinach,
tomatoes and "cukes" and beans, of
,, course, require about ten degrees
more. They are often grown to fol-
low up the others in the spring, as
the days get longer and warmer. BY

through the winter without artificial
heat, to be followed in the spring by
! the latter. Put in a frame or
small greenhouse this fall, and you
will have no trouble in keeping it in
paying use ten months out of the
twelve, or more.

LOCAL SCHOOLS OPENED
WITH LARGE ENROLMENT

The schools have again opened the
ir doors. We urge the parents to
cooperate with the teachers by do
ing their utmost in sending the chill
dren to school promptly from the be-
ginning. The time lost at the begin
ing of the year very seriously hand
leaps both the teachers and pupils.
One may attribute rs per cent of
the failures, at the end of the year,
to irregular attendance in the fall.
Pupils lose interest from the fact
that they remain always behind
when they have back work to make
up.
We wish that every parent would
emphasize the growing Importance
of securing an education. The boy
is the father of the man, so to sp-
eak; then, in order that our coming
citizens may be adequately prepared
we must carefully educate our child
rem. Let nothing stand in the way of
an education for your boy and girl.
With this greeting we ask your coop

WILL YOU KEEP A YANKEE SOL
DER WARM IN The TRENCHES?

America has many soldiers in Fr-
ance, and presently they will be in
the trenches. There will be more
Of them every week, and before spr-
ing there will be great many-in-
cluding some of our own local BOYS,
beyond doubt.
Have you thought of what it
means to do soldiers duty in the
trenches in the bitter winter of
Northern France?
Have you thought of what it
means to stand in snow and slush,
exposed to the damp chill of the
winter air?
If you have-and beyond any doubt
you have thought of these things
hasn't it occurred to you that. you
would be glad of chance to help
make it more comfortable for these
boys Of ours when they make their
gallant stand for democracy and lib
erty?
Well, here's your chance:
The first item in the list of things
needed for our soldier boys is knit
ted goods sweaters, socks, mufflers
and wristlets made of stout wool
that will keep out the cold.
To make one "set''-an outfit that
will keep one soldier boy warm-it
takes yarn that costs three dollars
and half.
If you will furnish the yarn, the
women who are knitting with love
and patriotism will do the work.
The knitting committee of the To-
cal Red Cross has issued an appeal
for funds to buy yarn. Duluth's sh-
are of the total required is three
thousand sets, and the yarn will
cost ten thousand five hundred dol
lars.
Will YOU contribute the cost of
the yarn needed to keep ONE YAM
kee soldier warm? If you will give
three dollars and half, you will
have made it possible to safeguard
one American soldier boy against
the bitter cold of the trenches. If
you give thirty-five dollars, you will
have helped take care Of ten soldiers.
The knitting women-bless!-will do
the work if you will buy the yarn;
and the Red Cross will see that the
completed articles go where they
will do the most good
Here is very practical way of
helping the boys who will soon be
fighting your battles. It is CHI
ance that you will be glad to get.
Later on, when winter sets in and it
is easier to imagine what it would be
like to face trench duty without
warm wool to keep out the cold, per-
haps this cause will appeal to you
more powerfully; but then it will
be too late. The knitted articles
must be in hand before then, and to
that end the yarn must be bought
NOW, so that the women whose
busy fingers are plying the needles
can do the work before winter

the RED CROSS IS
IN need OF YOUR HELP
The Local Branch Is a Live Wire IN
Patriotic Service and Asks
Your Help.

Although the local branch of the
Red Cross has been instituted but
comparatively short time, it has
won deserved praise for the splendid
assistance it is giving in the great
work of this organization.
For the present Red Cross work
consists principally of supplying the
soldiers at the front with necessary
equipment with which to combat the
discomforts and hardships of their
life. The local branch has just fur
nished LIBERAL quota of "house-
wives'' and hospital supplies. il

tanning scissors, needles, thread, but

working on knitted garments. A call
has come from France for 100000
sets of these knitted garments, con-
sisting Of sweaters, mutflers, wrist
let's and socks, for our soldiers who
are to go to the front and for our
Allies who are now in the trenches.

an Marais is a branch, is asked to
furnish 5000 sets and a special effort
is being made to get as many people
knitting as possible. Experience is
not necessary. Beginners may work
on wristlets, mufflers and sweaters
and the others on socks.
The cost of the yarn for these sets
will be at least $3.50 per set, dona-
tions for the purchase of which are
being asked. Since the women must
do the knitting, the men are expect
ed to give. The recent departure
from Grand Marais for the training
camps of some of our boys opens our

CARRYING the GARDEN
THROUGH TO SUCCESS
Work You Can Do Now to Save and
Increase Plant Food In
Your Garden.
BY F. F. Rockwell.

Garden cleaning, like house clean
ing, is usually done in the spring.
But the gardener who follows the
lead of his better half in this re-
spect, and thinks he is saving him.
self trouble by letting his old weeds,
and other garden refuse stay where
they are until it is time to dig the
soil up again next March or April
does not stop to reckon with the
facts.
Instead of saving himself trouble
by such course, he is only sowing
it broadcast for all the following
season. Literal millions of weed
seeds that would be destroyed by
cleaning up now are allowed to ma
ture and sow themselves, and be dis
tributed by birds and wind and rains.
That is bad enough, but not the
worst. The weeds can be handled,
if one wor ks hard enough. But the
germs or spores of many diseases
and the eggs, larvae, and hibernat-
ing adults of many destructive bugs
and beetles and worms, find congen-
iaD winter quarters in such refuse.
In it they got not only protection
for the winter, but are stationed
right on the ground, ready to go to
work at the slightest possible oppor-
tunity next year.
Cleanliness and good looks there
fore are not the only reasons for 60
ing over the entire garden in the fall
as soon as harvesting is finished, and
cleaning up and burning all left
overs of all descriptions. Frequently
all these odds and ends are carefully
cleaned up; but they are left to de-
cay or added to the compost heap,
instead of being burned. This is Of
course better than leaving them in
the garden, but burning is much
safer, as the other course does not
insure their destruction.
While the first frost will put an
end to the tender things outside,
there are a number of vegetables
which will keep right on growing up
until the ground freezes; and some
so hardy that they may be left out
doors for the entire winter. Beets,
late cabbage, carrots, celery, par
ships, radish, satisfy, rutabagas,
swiss chard, and turnips are the late
stayers, parsnips; while brussels
sprouts, kale late spinach, parsnips
and selsify need no protection even
for the coolest weather. Spinach
onions, and in the warmer states,
other vegetables to be carried throu
the winter for early spring crops,
should be mulched with light strawy
manure or marsh hay.
The beginner who has had a sue
cessful garden to supply his table
with fresh vegetables all summer
will hardly be satisfied to have his
gardening operations 'verboten' by
Jack Frost without putting up a
serious protest. The only way of pro-
testing successfully, however, is to
have little under-glass garden OF
your own. With this you cannot only
have fresh vegetables this fall and
winter, but several weeks earlier in
the spring; and you cannot only gr.
ow your own vegetable plants, in
