The license for all automobiles
expired on January l, 1918, and
it is necessary for everyone OWL
ing car to procure new license
through the secretary Of state.
This license will cost $500 for a
period Of three years, as COM
pared to $3.50, which was the
charge of the last three year
period. This increased license fee
for large number Of cars in Min
nesota means a larger amount of
money available for road build
ing purposes and very few are ex-
pressing regret at the increase.
1t is urged that the old license
tags be preserved for the benefit
Of the Red Cross. They are made
Of aluminium and if all were
gathered it would be a consider
able sum Of money available for

these amounts, then your en-
ployer has to send in your name
to the collector. If you do not
make the report the collector will
apply the law to your case and
the penalty for failing to report
is very heavy. You can be fined
and imprisoned.
Many people who report under
the law may not have to pay a
tax, but you must report, so do
not forget it. The government
needs the money for war pur-
poses and you should do your bit
by paying the tax joyfully. You
should be thankful that you have
made enough the past year to pay
a tax.
After reading tii1s', sit right
down and figure what you have
received in wages and other
monies for the year 1917. If you
have received the amounts above
stated, go to one Of the banks and
get blanks upon which to make
your report. They cost you moth
ing. Don't put yourself i'm the
position to be arrested and fined
and jailed because all this can be
avoided by simply making the re-
turns as requested. The govern
ment knows every man who has
received wages from any en-
ployer in the United States and
its agents can look you up.
An excuse that you did not
know about the matter will be Of
no avail. 1t has been well adver-
tised in all the newspapers of the
country and remember the report
must be made this month.

matter of course in the minds
Of the public and of the members
of Congress. There was an ig-
norance as to the facts regarding
the lumber trade that was appall-
ing and seemed impossible TO
overcome, and in all that work
Mr.. Hines took a leading part.
Certain phases Of the work
and certain arguments originated
with Mr.. Hines. Always closely
in touch with labor, he was able
to plead with it's leaders effec-
lively on behalf Of the lumber
men s cause, and thus no small
influence beneficial to the lumber
duty was exerted. His intimate
knowledge of conditions in the
Georgian bay district Of Canada
made his argument along that
line especially effective.

Der business and his mental alert

The American Lumberman re-
Gently had the following to say of
Edward Hines, well known here
by reason of his being the head Of
the st. CrOix Lumber company
interests at WintOn where he
visits several times a year.
Everyone who has ever met Mr..
Hines will bear out the state
ments made by the Lumberman as
as to the aliveness Of the subject
when it says:
GA dynamo self-directed, a
steam engine plus intelligence
such is Edward Hines. Looking
casually at this man, rather I'M
der medium height and slight
physique, one must marvel where
lies the power to accomplish such
remarkable things. But. closer
study, a little personal contact,
dissipates what mystery there is,
though still the wonder remains
that such energy can work so eff
ficiently through apparently a
frail mechanism. Yet there is q
certain physical toughness Of f.
Der to respond to the intellectual
strength and quickness, which ac-
counts for accomplishment Of
work involving physical as well
as mental endurance.
"What has this man done :!
twenty-five years ago he was an
employee, holding a responsible
position to be sure, but still an
employee, and less than twenty
years ago he was, though an of,
fetal, still subordinate. Then,
Selling a favorable opportunity,
he established himself as a per-
sonal factor in the business world
and today he is among the recog.
nized leaders in the industrial
and commercial life Of America.
He has risen so high that he has
drawn the shafts of envy and
malice as well as the tributes OF
respect and admiration.
"Today he is, through the in.
dustrial organizations he person
ally controls, one Of the leading
lumber producers Of the United
States; through his commercial
organizations probably the lead
ing lumber wholesaler of the
world; Individually through his
affiliations with other lumber
men he is a heavy holder Of
stumpage in both the United
States and Canada. Now he has
been given the highest honor the
lumber industry can bestow
through his election as president
of the National Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association.
''This honor has come to Mr..
lines in part because of his emf
nnnt position in the lumber in
dustry, but more particularly as
recognition of the services he
has rendered in it's behalf, and
especially for the work he has
done during the last eight months
in behalf of the lumber duty.
The campaign at Washington has
been carried on under the aus
pices of the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association, most
of whose officers, including the
executive committee, have de-
voted much time in this behalf.
Mr.. Hines however, is. among
those who have gone beyond
what might be assumed to be
their mere duties as officers or
members Of the association. He
has given unstintedly Of his time
and brain force to the work neg
lecting his own immediate af-
fairs to do so.

gan it seemed to be a foregone
conclusion that lumber would be
put upon the free list. No other

even to be thought of. 1t was a
