NAIL SERVICE REDUCED s3
70 TWO TIMES 4 WEEK
Robertson & Layman Submit propo-
sition e Give Daily nIail
5S:ezS 81 4 s. II. Services. 81

Beginning last Monday our mail
service has been reduced to twice a
week, owing to the D. & NJ. M. re-.
.ducing the passenger train service
from Knife River to Cramer.
n This reduced service is only tenn
porary though we hope, as plans are
under way. by which we will get
daily service again in the near future,
and, # the plan can be carried out,
it will be much better service than
anything we have had before.
Robertson & Layman, the present
mail carriers from Hovland to Cra-
|mer, will operate a bus which will
run on the D. & N. M. and D. & /. r.
tracks from Cramer to Duluth, this
will run daily and will connect with
their bus from here. Their plan
has been submitted to the postal
department and expect to hear from
them in few days. The depart
ment has already expressed their will
hngness to make any improvement
in the service. that can be had and
it is very likely their proposition will
be accepted.
Mr.. Robertson says all plans are
perfected, including the ordering of
a bus, so as soon as the postal de-
partment grants them the contract
they will be ready to operate. This
will also give us much improved pas
senger service to Duluth.

HON. J. T. kEAN STARTS.
w. S. S. CAMPAIGN HERE
Delivered Opening Address at the
Princess 1heater Monday
Evening. .

Hon. J. T. Kean, of Minneapolis,
arrived on the America Sunday and
delivered an address at the Princess
theater Monday evening in the in
terest of the War Savings drive
which will commence tomorrow. !.
Mr.. Kean was very forceful in his
reasoning of what we are. fighting
for, and pleaded for loyalty and sup
port of the Government in this great
struggle. He said there is not a
person in this country who cannot
help, one way to help is to buy War
Savings stamps. He pointed out that
we owe our safety today to the
allied fleets and army, and likened
the German power to a mad dog that
must be destroyed by the united
efforts of us all. He impressed upon
the parents the high value of the
habit of thrift, which they could de-
valope in the children by means of
the thrift stamps and war savings
certificates. IL.
Though the audiance was not very
large it was a responsive and ap-
preciative one, and it is safe to say
that the people of Grand Marais will
enter the drive with more interest
and enthusiasm by reason of his adj
dress.

THE RED GROSS

The Red Cross meeting held at
the Brentwood schoolhouse under the
management of Mrs. E. T. Roberts
was largely attended. Superinten-
dent Clinsh and County Attorney
Murphy gave some very interesting
talks on Red Cross work, and Mr..
Babe, from across the line, showed
some facts as to the close relation

our soldiers are sholder to sholder
in the ranks so should our neighbors

Miss Else Netterlund sang some
patriotic songs and played the accom-
paniment on the guitar, which spell
bound the audience so you could
have heard a pin drop, after which
ice cream and cake was sold and the
proceeds brought the sum of $435O.
Later contributions from those who
were absent brought the total to
$4,000. Following the entertainment
the audience trdpped the light fan
tastic until the wee hours.
Let the good work go on, and may

feel the Sore ,ieed, injoy the freely

been called the "egg basket" of the
Nation. According to the census of

entire country, produced twenty
eight per cent Of the eggs, and
twenty-five per cent of the market
poultry. y. ..'t
In speeding up" meat production
by the Federal Food Administration,
liberal appropriations have been
made for poultry extension work;
and the members of the organization
look with great expectancy to this
section of the United States to
equal and surpass the production. of
former years. The increasing price
of farm grains, the resulting high
cost of poultry feeds, and the liberal
prices offered for live and dressed
poultry the past two years, has re-
suited in q marked decrease in the
number Of chickens per farm thru

been estimated as high as thirty per

Throughout the county all will be
asked to pledge themselves to save
the largest possible amount and in
vest in War Savings Certificates and
Thrift Stamps. All who pledge them
selves will be bound only by their
good faith and honest intention for
the fulfllment of their pledges.
Their invested savings will be at all
times absolutely safe, and earning
better interest than savings banks
pays, and as good as cash at any
time. Unlike the Liberty Loan Bond,
the w. S. S. are paid for throughout
the year and in just such amounts
and at such times as the investor
pleases. There should be no hesita-
tion about giving the pledge, because
the one who pledges is under no OBJ
legation to anyone else. Yet more
should unforeseen circumstances
arise which make it impossible to
continue investing, then the obliga-
tion ceases until the adverse con-
ditions have been overcome and saw
ing and investing can be. renewed.
