CANADIAN ROTARY OFFICER
WELL PLEASED WITH VISIT

The following letter received from
DR.. Mccullough, President of the
Port Arthur-Fort William Rotary
Club, shows the feeling of our Can
adian visitors toward our village and
is self explanatory:
''Dr. F. B. Hicks
Grand Marais, MINI.
Dear Doctor Hicks:
Permit me to give expression to
the grateful appreciation of all men,

WilliamPort Arthur and their invit-
ed friends of the unexampled hospit-
atty which the citizens of your WILL

have them better and stronger and
earlier than you can buy them.
If you plan to have 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 a
ready cut frame or house, a few
hours or 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
planted now, SOFAS to be large. en-

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 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 a 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,
and Triumph of the Frames beets,
are other standard under glass var
ieties.
While 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
using double glass sash the former
may be grown almost continuously
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
GRAFTON in making this a successful
year in our school work,
Yours sincerely,
H. E. Qualheim.

THE RED CROSS IS
IN need OF YOUR HELP
The Local Branch Is 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
housewife" is home made bag con-
tanning scissors, needles, thread, but
tons and pins. The members are now
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.
and Marais is a branch, is asked to
an Marais is 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
eyes to the grim realities and must
Increase the pleasure of participa-
ting, whether by work or donation,
in Red Cross work.

WILL YOU KEEP A YANKEE Sol.

the trenches. There will be more

Have you thought of what it
means to do a 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 a. chance to help
make it more comfortable for these
! boys of ours when they make their
gallant stand for democracy and lib

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 warmth
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

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 alA 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 works 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.

The pulse rate, which for most Of
us Is 70 beats to the minute, varies
greatly In health. A pulse up to
100 may be perfectly natural in some
people; a pulse of 40 in others
The emotions temporarily increase
the pulse rate. Fear, anger, violent
exercise and the like will send the
pulse way up.
Very nervous people are prone to
rapid hearts. Such also is the ath-
letes heart, brought on by undue and
violent exercise. And there certain
organic maladies that give quick
pulse; especially consumption. 1t
is not we'll to write down here all the
things that cause heart palpitation.
Anybody with a rapid heart who feels
physically that he has a heart"
should not delay going to a good doc
tor for thorough examination; and
to be told what is important to be
known. BY such an obviously SEN
sible step serious consequences may
be avoided.
In health the heart should work
without our notice, Sometimes rapid
heart ttachycardia) comes in spells,
in paroxysms. The beats may even
exceed 200 the minute. The large ar
teries in the neck are likely then to
throb forcibly and visibly: and one
can actually see the venous pulse in
the veins of the neck. The face and
neck get flushed. In such a case the
heart beats have actually been heard
several feet away These sufferers are
almost always distressed with pain
around the heart. People who have
had weakening fevers, or severe dis
eases from which they have forum
ateIy recovered, should be satisfied to
have a long convalescence, free of I'M
due toll or excitement, as long indeed
as there is a rapid pulse, In such
cases it takes months for the heart
to be restored to its full vigor; let
no such sufferer take chances-not
so long as there is pulse more rapid
than the natural.
