In the old aidermanic days, he bitterly opposed what was then called the ring Later, he was twice elected mayor, his victory over the late Capt. Frank P.

SERGEANT HANLEY
Survivor Of the Princess PATS
at the EIeo July IL.

1t will be worth your while to go
to the Elco Theatre next Wednes-
day, July II, and hear the inter
esting stories of Sergeant Hanley,
the best known surviving member
of the Princess Pats Regiment.
He will tell and show you incidents
that you will always remember.
Sergeant Hanley went over with
the original Princess Pats Regl-
ment which consisted of 1850 men.
Upon going into active service,
they were in the second army to
meet with the deadly German
gasses, which almost annihilated
the entire Princess Pats Regiment.
Out of the whole 1850, thirteen
alone remain, Sergeant Hanley
being the best known. He has
served twenty-three months at the
front, having been in the battles Of
Ypres, Somme and Manner Roads.
On account of permanent dis
ability, he has returned and brings
with him war film which will
show you the trenches as they
actually are thirty and forty feet
apart; the bombs in action as they
are used in reality. This alone is
wonderful for these deadly des-
tructives have cost nine-tenths OF
the lives on the battle fields OF
Europe. You will see the largest
guns in the world and many other
interesting facts which never find
their way into the papers.

National Forests to Supply
Wood

To meet any possible coal short
age in the West next winter, more
extensive use of fuel wood from
the National Forests is urged by
the Government foresters, who
are advising both ranchers and
town. jewellers to be forehanded in
making arrangements for the sup
ply of their fuel needs,
The supervisors of the 153
National Forests will be instructed
to afford all possible facilities to
local residents wishing to obtain
cordwood, which settlers may OBJ
tain free for their home use and
which is sold at low rates to per-
sons cutting and hauling in order
to sell to others. Since the material
thus utilized is mainly dead timber
its removal, it is explained, helps
clear up the forest and thus lessons
the fire menace. Timber which is
insect infested, or old and deterior
ating, or otherwise damaged or
undesirable from the forester's
standpoint, is also disposed of for
fuel purposes. The demand in the
next twelve months is expected to
break all records.
There is possibility of coal
shortage because of the increased
demand for coal by industrial
plants and the lack of sufficient
means of transportation. 1t is
believed that it will be quite feas

Again, Fish For Food

The plain people firmly believe
that the Fat Boys with their Hid
den Hands grabbed off big adj
vantage in recent laws affecting
fishing in inland waters.
Large concerns with headquart-
ers in Duluth, St. Paul, Chicago
and other distant places, enjoy full
privilege as to fishing in Lake of
the Woods, Rainy lake, Kabet-
ogema lake, Namekon lake, and
similar so-called international
waters but commercial fishing has
been absolutely prohibited in strict
ly domestic waters.
Thousands of Minnesota lakes
TEEN with fish highly suitable for
food purposes. Every winter,
hundreds of tons of these fish,
perish through lack of food, access
to air, disease, congested conditions

ible and economical for many
western communities to utilize an
increased quantity of National
Forest wood for fuel next winter.
When dead and down timber or
other timber which is deteriorating
is not available for cordwood, the
cutting of mature living trees will
be permitted to the extent neces-
sary to meet demands.
While wood as fuel is less eco
nomical to handle and use than
coal, it is in many parts of the
West cheaper, even at normal
price levels. Stoves and furnaces,
however, equipped to burn coal
usually require different CRATES to
permit of the substitution to adj
vantage. and this is pointed out as
one reason why the householder
will do we'll to look ahead and de-
eide beforehand bow he will keep
warm and feed the kitchen stove
next winter.
Where sawmils are operating in
the woods at points within hauling
distance of towns, there is chance
to obtain slabs and other material
that ordinarily goes to waste.
Since green or wet wood is both
poorer fuel and heavier to trans
port and handle than dry, mill
waste as it comes from the saw is
relatively undesirable for i'm
mediate use. For this reason, as
we'll as in order to be sure of a
supply, the Government foresters
suggest TINT good-sized woodpile
III the backyard or under cover be-
fore winter sets in may be found a
thrifty provision.
During the last fiscal year over
80, 900 permits for the free use of
National Forest timber mainly in
the form of fuel wood were taken
out by local residents. The amount
of timber involved approximated
100000 cords. Additional sup
plies of cordwood were obtained
from the Forests at nominal price
by others who were not entitled
under the law to the free use OF
timber.

Now in France

Announcement of the arrival of
Henry S. Graves, Chief of the U.
S. Forest Service, in Paris has led
the Department of Agriculture to
explain that Mr.. Graves has gone
abroad to make arrangements for
the forest work which the American
army engineers will undertake in
France in connection with the
military operations of the allied
forces.
Because of the opportunity for
service by this country in woods
work incidental to the war which
the request of the British Govern
ment for the sending of a forest
regiment was believed to present,
Mr.. Graves has been granted leave
of absence from his position as
head of the Forest Service and has
received commission as Major in
the Reserve Engineer Corps: He
has not been assigned to any CON-
mand, but is acting under instruc-
tions, it is stated, to proceed to
France in order to learn on the
ground in advance just what con-
ditions will need to be met, what
equipment will be called for, and
how extensively the services of
American lumbermen can be utiliz-
ed to advantage. Meanwhile the
recruiting of the regiment which
has already been asked for is being
pushed by the Forest Service and
is said to be advancing rapidly.
One of the staff officers of the
regiment, Capt. Darlington Moore,
is with Mr.. Graves for the purpose
of arranging for its prompt as
sumption of the specific duties to
which it will be assigned when it is
landed in France. While organ
lied on military lines. the work of
the regiment will be industrial, not
combatant. 1t will operate in the
woods behind the armies, getting
out timbers, ties, and lumber re-
quired for military purposes.

getting the men under training.
Arthur Knutson, ]. d. Conan and
DR.. c.. T. Ayres compose the local
exemption board.
In the order in which they most
come, there are three steps in the
organization process of the National
army as prescribed by congress.
There are registration, selection
and exemption. The first step has
been carried through and approx
mately 10000, 900 men between
p and 80 years of age have been
registered. The regulations issued
today covered in detail all the
operation of the third step, ex-
emption.
Information concerning the
second step in the series, however,
is still lacking and officials are
guarding closely the method by
which selection is to be applied.
The local boards are directed,
upon organization, to take over
from the registration precincts the
cards and lists of the men regis
tered, and as their first duty to
provide a serial number for each
registration card. This has given
support to the belief that the
selection is to be by number. Re-
ports were current recently that
the selection drawing was to be
made in Washington.
Presumably, the process of selec-
ton will be announced only short
time before it is put in operation.
When that will be is not known.
Sept. l has been the tentative date
set for calling the first contingent.
Progress with construction of the
sixteen division environments tor
the troops will govern that action,
however. 1t is now believed there
will be no serious delay.
The exemption process will not
take a great deal of time. The
regulations provide that decision
in any Individual case shall not be
delayed more than three days by
the local boards. The whole pro-
cess probably can be carried
through in less than 80 days.
There were no surprises in the
exemption regulation. The task
of passing upon the individual
cases is LEFT entirely to the local
boards. While the president re-
serves the right to designate in
dustries necessary for the public
good, the question of whether
retention of any individual engaged
in these industries essential is left
to the boards.
While these steps are being
carried out the war department is
making progress with the even
more difficult task of finding
officers for the force. The first
10000 of the 100000 men at the
camps will be selected for COM
missions in the first increment of
the new army. That is less than
half the number of officers neces-
sary. The war department ap-
proved today recommendations of
commanders of regular regiments
which will commission 5000 or
more regular noncommissioned
officers to be captains or lieutenants
in the first CPS, 900 of the national
army. 1t is understood that more
than so men from each regiment,
