In the annual report OF the AarbOr
Engineer for 1917 is given the fol
owing inf 6r1mation regarding the
harbor Of Grand Marais: &: &:
Condition at the end Of fiscal year.
Breakwaters, each $50 feet long,
were constructed from the east and
west points Of the bay and an an
chorage area Of 26 acres sdredged to
a depth Of 16 feet. "A maximum
draft Of Is feet at low water can
be carried over the. area under im-
provement, where originally there
was a minimum depth Of 8 feet. The
beakwaters afford the desired protec-
tion to the harbor, which is the only
safe refuge in the l25 mile stretch
Of rugged coast between Agate Bay
and the international boundary. The
total expenditures under the existing
project up to the end of the fiscal
year, not including outstanding ia-
bilities, was $16O,936. .68 for new
work and $13,529 20 for mainten-
ance, a total of $174,465 .97. The ap-
proved project. was completed Au-
gust .13, 1901, at cost of $3,O17 :95
less than the estimate. --...-~ "
Effects Of Improvement AS har-
bor refuge it has been of unques-
toned benefit to commerce. There is
no rail connection with the harbor.
All vessels of the type now engaged
in commerce with this port make
use of the Government improvements.
Small craft, carrying about 20. per
cent of the total freight tonnage,
could use this harbor, except in the
toughest weather, without the aid of
the present improvements. The depth
Of water required varies from IL to
Is feet for the larger boats to 6 or 8
feet for the smaller. - ~
Recommended modification of pro-
ject.--N modification has been made
in the original project, but further
improvement recommended in B last

dress before the Community Club at

his theme Making the World Safe
tor Democracy" He cited many in.
stances in history where the princi.
pies Of democracy had developed no.
ble and eminent men. =@. s..5. 4. .s... ss
He stated that the New Testament
was democratic, and that democracy
and brotherhood and equality derived
their existence from the propagation
Of the principles and teachings Of
Jesus Christ, and that we were to:
day confronted with the greatest
conflict ever recorded ins the annals
Of history to test whether or not
these principles Of democracy and
Individual rights proclaimed to the
world by Christ and taken up by
his apostles, and taught by the
Christian church shall perish. from
the earth. - -
He also cited some of the principal
points of distinctions between the
German government and the govern
ment of the United States, and said
that the government of the United
States existed for the people and tc
protect their rights. The government
exists for the people. :
The German government is entirely
the reverse from this, it uses and
abuses it's citizens entirely for the
sake Of the government. 49,.
He also said civilization was deter.
mined by it's pioneers, that the out.
standing glory Of the country is the
fact that it was founded and estab.
lished by men who came to our
shores in search of liberty, freedom

How Old Are You
By Your Hair?

You may be thirty in years, but
If You are bald-headed, gray, or
your hair is dry, brittle, scraggly and
ugly-looking, people will surely take
you to be many years older.
When your hair becomes faded,
dry, streaked and scraggly, when 1t
falls out badly and new hair cannot
grow, the roots should be immedi-
ately vitalized and properly nour-
ished. To do this quickly, safely
and at, little expense, there is Moth
ing so effective as Partisan sage
(iquid form) which you can get at
Kennedy's Drug Store and all good
drug and toilet counters.
It's guaranteed to abolish dam
druff-stop scalp itch and falling
hair and promote new growth or
money refunded. It's in great de-
mand by discriminating women be-
cause it makes the hair so soft, lus-
trous, easy to arrange attractively
and appear heavier than it really is.
| A massage with Partisan sage is
a real delight-easy to use, not
sticky or greasy, and delicately per-
| fumed-an antiseptic liquid free
from dangerous ingredients and
guaranteed not to color the hair or
scalp. If you want good looking
hair and plenty of it, by all means
use Partisan saga little attention

Newspaper "Ads" to
Boost Liberty Loan

Washington, Sept. 10.-Newspaper
display advertising wiz be relied on
more than ever to sell bonds during
the fourth Liberty Loan campaign
which opens September %. In full
page and part page advertisements
designed by trained advertising men,
the campaign will be one to adver-
tise the war as much as to sell bonds.
Frank r. Wilson, publicity director
for the loan, announced his plans for
newspaper advertising. Designs and
copy for the ads already have been
prepared and will be supplied free in
the form of newspaper mats to daily
or weekly publications. The govern
ment will not pay newspapers for the
publications, but local committees
will canvass merchants and business
interests in each community to pay
for the space.
