Before this mighty struggle, we
owed the older countries something
like several billions of dollars-but
now how do we stand among the
nations Of the world? We are the
creditor Nation. They owe US and
that is much better. The security is
good, save perhaps poor old Russia,
and Russia will wake up some day
and pay her debts to us. We are now
the bankers of the world and that
listens good to each of US. We have
the green goods here in America
Every loan to Uncle Sam has been
over-subscribed. Every future loan
to come is going to be grabbed up in
a jiffy. Save for the awful loss OF
our boys and which no Hun gold car
compensate for, we are going to come
out of this great war better off than
ever. And it has learned US a lot OF
things, too, which will be of great
benefit to US. Little and great
economies have been practised anC
which will continue with US for years
But the greatest asset which we have
acquired in this fight is the great
goodwill of four-fifths of the people.

why should not fms same peat bog

from freezing each winter? We

ever, the time is coming soon we be-
lieve when the peat briquette will be
found in the coal bin at home and the

solved. The war economics, the

From now on the trade mark of
"Made in Germany" will remind US
of civet cat in the house. The first
shipload of goods from that country
of odoriferous memory may hit the
bottom of the harbor. At least by
their acts have they invited such a
reception. Think of the money we
have contributed to Bill in the past
for the purpose of carrying on this
war in the purchase of German made
goods. "Made in America" should
be looked for on every purchase of
whatever nature. And where can
you get more dependable stuff than
the home grown variety?

The deerslayers have met up with
bad weather during the fore part Of
the season and it is possible that lot
of venison has spoiled from this fact.
1t has been warm and wet and soft
to a remarkable degree during the
season until late. However, the red
caps and mackinaws have been in ev-
idence quite numerously so since the
opening day, November 10th. Quite
a number have already secured their
deer and moose, but the hunting has
been Indifferent. The woods have
been noisy and with no tracking
snow the real pleasure has been ia
ken out of the sport by the Man
From Medicine Hat. Wounded game
has been difficult to trail and three or
four inches of snow would make it
more interesting hunting.

Scientific Rose Growing.

An authority states that irst-class

and that his knowledge, as rule, costs
him about as much. The demand for
roses in the large cities las given rise

Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a
grip
And start on long, long hike
You'll only find what you have left
behind,
For there's nothing that's really
new,
It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town,
1t isn't the town, it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead,
When everybody works and nobody
shirks
You can raise a town from the

And if, while you make your personal
stake,
Your neighbors can make one, too,
Your town will be what you want to
see,
1t isn't the town, it's you.

ly so however, and none of course
figuratively speaking. Long Lake

on the ice. It was an ideal day for

the CLINT of steel flashed over miles

Fins Feathers and Fur, the State
Game Warden's paper had an
article in it this month about the
beaver of the state. The long closed
season has made these animals very
plentiful and their work is coming
closer and closer to civilization as if
the animals knew that they were pro-
tected. Not far from Ely in a small
stream family Of beaver have con-
structed two dams. They have con-
strueted their houses and have laid in
their supplies of eatables for the win
ter. They have logged" the poplar
trees along the bank of the stream,
foated them to the right point and
have sunk them, to be dug up after
wards for food. And they are some
"lumberjacks." One can hardly be-
lieve that an animal can cut down a
good sized tree, log it into lengths,
skid it to the creek and build a dam
with it-but they do. It is an in
teresting study to visit one of these
dams and see what the little fellows
have done. Just why they build dams
when the lake is close by is some
more Of their business which wd do
not understand.

Herb. Hoover says that it's crocodile
tears they are shedding now for

Open the seas for their ships to get

rustic their chuck wherever they can
find it. But first see to it that every
Hun gun is spiked and every mu-
milton factory shut down for repairs.
If there is anything left over to eat
after our boys get through, sell it to
the Hun at war prices, if there is none
left, let him tighten his belt and
think Of the Lusitania. That thought
ought to fill him up-with remorse
at least.

Aside from the current crop of Eu-

any piece of mechanism as baf-
fling at times as the salt shaker when
it gets obstinate. 1t is in the same
class with the short-waisted shirt
stud and the fountain pen with a
hemorrhage. When the salt shaker
suspends publication it frequently
creates havoc in the home. The
house husband beats loudly on the
table with it to make it say uncle. A
barrage of toothpick points, forks
and ice tongs is laid down, but the
enemy dig himself in. Somebody
says something about it being the
cooks fault and she resigns her port
folio. While the business man is dis
cussing this point mother rushes in
from the room with her hands over
her ears. Alas, how many men are
there in America today who can
successfully handle balky salt sha-
ker when there are ladies present?

Many Of the boys are sad because
they did not get across the seas to
assist in going over the top in
subduing the Huns. They should not
feel this way about it. They had
expressed their willingness and their
loyalty and good citizenship when
they went to the training camps to
prepare for the fight. The camps
could accommodate only so many
men and all of them were constantly
crowded to the overlooking. The
ships could convey only a certain
number. And many may still have
the opportunity of going overseas to
assist in the final housekeeping.
Those who did go across and those
who were in the trenches midst the
awful hail of the things that kill and
who came out Of it so luckily have
had wonderful experience that will
live fresh in their minds throughout
their lives. ALI who went in did
their duty whether they put in their
time in the camps or the trenches.
And every boy, when he thinks Sc
riously about it, will be glad the war
is over even if he did not have the
opportunity to get into the firing line
because he knows that in every
charge tousands of brave men fell
never to rise again. To think that
there is to be no more human sac
rifices of this kind ought to make
every boy happy.-Ishpeming Iron
