To keep the Home Fires Burn
ing it would be well for a local
committee to look into the matter
of a peat bed. Within a short
distance Of Ely untold tons of
peat may be found. There are
many peat beds in Minnesota, but
because of the plentifulness of
fuel of all kinds we have per-
haps overlooked peat. just why
we must depend upon Pittsburgh
for our heating material in Min
nesota is not apparent. True, a
cord of dry birch wood piled up
in the wood house costs about as
much as ton of coal hauled
thousands of miles by water and
rail. And there are acres and
square miles of birch in Mime
sofa at that. Things apparently
need fixing, as that is about the
present state of affairs. But the
peat is here and so far the prof
teer has overlooked this bet. Let
| us beat him to it and then hold
our own.

A trip over the country sur
rounding Ely suggests to one that
there should be thousands of
head of sheep conserving the
acres and square miles of pastur-
age going to waste each year.
With the price of wool almost
prohibitive, a flock of sheep to a
farmer should be the same as a
First National Bank to him. And
with mutton at and around sc
cents per pound; with raw woo
quoted at 60 cents per pound,
flock Of sheep looks like money il
the bank. Besides sheep ar
great land clearers and this as
set talks in favor of the sheep
This is natural hay meadow
this Northern Minnesota. Hay
grows like weeds, and hay and
pasturage are all that a flock OF
sheep really needs. Just now this
industry is being fostered by
Commercial Clubs and the banks
are offering great inducements te
take the matter up. Wool will
like iron ore, always be in fash
ion and hence a good market al
ways turks around a flock OF
these wool producers.
