BITTER FIGHTS OVER Boards
Tartars and PersIans Long In Conflict
Because They Held Varying opin-
ions on the Matter.

Before now the wearing of boards
has caused a bitter war and made the
executioner's ax cut through many u
neck. The Tartars waged u long war
with the Persians, declaring them in
fidels because they would not shave
their boards after the fashion of Tar
tary.
The Greeks wore boards until the
time of Alexander. who ordered the
Macedonians to be shaved lest their
boards should give handles to their
enemies. The ancient Romans wore
boards, but, in England they were not
fashionable after the conquest until
the thirteenth century and were dis
continued ut the Restoration.
Peter the Great kept squad of Of
flcers whose duty 1t was to cut the
boards of unwilling citizens by force.
Before 1910 shaving was almost uni
versal In the United States.
There have been numerous Instances
of women with long masculine boards.
Margaret Of Savoy, daughter OF Maxi
milan !, had long stiff beard. and n
woman was seen In Paris with a black
bushy beard that reached to her waist.
At the battle OF Pultowa the Russians
captured n bearded woman, whom they
presented to the czar. She had a
beard five and One-half feet long.

DYNAMITE DEMONSTRATIONS
FOR COOK COUNTY
BY A Representative of Du Pont
Powder Company on Octo-
ber 9TH and 9Th.

Through the State Extension Div
ision and the Du Pont Company, Co.
Agent Clinch has arranged for public
demonstrations in the efficient and
economical use of dynamite in land
clearing operations. A representative
of the company named will be in
Cook county on the 7th and 9Th of
October for the purpose Of demon
strating the best methods in using
the explosive.
The value Of dynamite as an aid
in land clearing is well recognized in
this county and a considerable guam
tity is used yearly. The prevailing
high prices Of all explosives should,
therefore, make demonstration of
this character interesting to all who
have or contemplate clearing opera
tions.
Particulars as to location of dem
onstrations and time schedule will
be published in the next issue of the
News Herald" =

The Boy Scouts and some friends
had social gathering last Friday
evening at their shack. While they
were having this party a series of
events happened which did not
please them in the least First big
piece of wood was thrown through
window into the shack. A large
piece of tar paper was torn away,
and little tree knocked a board in
to the house and the tree following
the board. The Scouts sent out a
spy to find who was doing all these
tricks. While the spy was gone,
those remaining inside heard. some
one creeping on the roof and sudden
ly the stove pipe fell down. If the
Boy Scouts had had very hot fire
chances are that there wouldn't be
shack standing there now, but as
the fire died out and they had plenty
of water on hand they put out the
fire before it could do any damage.
When the spy returned they found
out who were doing these tricks, Os:
car Ahlenius, Jack Woods. and Col
bert Holte. The Boy Scouts did not
have any hard feeling against
these young men, and did not think
they had any hard feeling against
them, so they thought it must have
been only a joke. But it wasn't
very nice joke, do you think so?

During these dates subscriptions for
Liberty Bonds will be solicited; and
preliminary to this campaign a SER
les of public meetings will be held
i'm the different precincts for the
good Of the cause. 1t is not cdnsid-
cred advisable to attempt to hold

dates, and the schedule, which is gi-
ven below, was arranged accordingly.

Saturday, Sept. 2lst-at Linnelrs

stinted in their efforts to make these
respective meetings successful. The
time is short. Let's make it a red
hot campaign. The names of speak
ers at these different meetings can
not be announced at this time, but
the committee will naturally depend
upon those who have served in this
way in past drives and who may be
depended upon to do their part.

The writer, who through his secre-

Smith property and the dock on the
east side Of the river.

the proposed change of name being

a whip.
The list is all right, except that it
contains one name not belonging to

more names, but the rest of us were
never asked.

APOLOGIES
TO MR.. SCHROEDER

Cross River, Minn., Sept. 16, 1918.
To the Editor of the News Herald,
Grand Marais, MINI.
Dear Sir:
The town of Cross River-as is to
be it's future name-seems, to have
mustered up all it's literary forces
in the matter Of changing the name
of the town. The first writer Qngen)
made a somewhat clumsy appeal for
said change, ironically adopting the
customary war-language-to be sure
to get it in! And the second writer
in his response seems to center his
arguments in the case on the merits
or dement's of the two men, after
ss has already
been named. =~"'
The facts in the case are:
The first Redmyre came to this
shore as a settler as early as 1880,
and his name was given to the post
office located on his place at Cross
River. He stayed for % years, and
at the age of 70 retired for his "ot-
ium cum dignitate," renting his
place to the Schroeder lumber con-
Germ. The territory (then unorgan-
ized) now consisting of Schroeder,
Tofte and Lutsen towns was shortly
afterwards divided up and named,
and MIR. Schroeder without consult
ing anybody gave his own name to
the portion where the postoffice
with the Redmyre name had been To-
Gated.
Mr.. Schroeder then operated his
plant for or years, after which
he sold out all his holdings in this
region, and has ever SINCE been away
from our shore, leaving after him
only depleted forests, and the name,
which still clings to the town. Also
the memory of saloon, conducted
by his foreman and set up in compe-
tition With the Redmyre Gr.) saloon,
which was driven out of business.
At the time Mr.. Schroeder came
in here, there was not single act
ual settler, and he was sovereign in
his own territory. Not so now.
Here are settlers and residents, who
feel that they have. the same right to
name or rename their own town as
MIR. S. once had, when it was his.
And they think that the proper
name ought to be something else
than Schroeder. Not because Of the
name being German, but because
there are other names more congen-
ial and with better right, as has al
ready been inferred by the above ci-
tation of facts.
And it is indeed strange, that. Mr..
S. cannot see, that his loyalty as a
United Slater never has been ques-
toned or at, all taken into considera-
tion. Mr.. S: may be a very big man,
but we, the residents of Cross River,
know nothing about him beyond
what has been stated above. Where
as Mr.: S. seems to keep a loving eye
on our town on account Of his name
once having been affixed to it. Which
name is originally German, but seems
to embrace family of considerable
dimensions, for it is to be found be-
Fside in France, Germany and the U.
s. 4. as stated by Mr.. s., but also in
Sweden. .3@S :z .:5.5. &. j: .s.* =. II
MI. s. need not worry or defend
himself for being German in origin.
Does he not know, 81 at least sur
| mise, that ali this seeming antagon.
| ism ;i is . only camouaa sonnet lines !
