DULUTH, Mimi, Oct. 15:-More
than 600 bodies of people who have
been burned to death in the forest
fires that swept over northern Mime
sofa since Saturday have been recov-
cred today and it was expected that
this number would be increased by
200 and possibly 400 by the time the
whole devastated district has been
gone over.
Searching parties at Moose Lake,
Colquet and Duluth before daybreak
today took up the search that was
left off last night when 1t was tmpos-
sible to distinguish bodies from the
charred and burned trunks of trees.
AS far as the forest fire itself is
concerned there is little likelihood of
further damage. II the wind holds
to the south all immediate damage is
passed. Rains will be required before
the menace is completely removed

RnkeT Protests Certificate
Of Nomination for Bennett

Freeholder F. William Hiker of
Perth Amboy has filed a protest with
the county clerk against the issuance
of a certificate of nomination to ].
Edgar Bennett of Cranbury who de-
feated Mr.. Hilker for denomination
at the recent Republican primary.
Some time ago Freeholder Hilker
asked for a rule to show cause why
errors In taking the soldier vote
should not be corrected but obtained
no relief. 1t is probable that the
protest filed recently will be made
the ground for further court action.

Does Not Want to SWAP.

It's none of the second district bust
ness, OF course, but Congressman Greene
appears to be "agin" several of the
movements which are looked upon the
nation over as advance legislation. He
voted against national prohibition with
the small minority and against the
woman's suffrage bill in congress with
the tail end of the legislators. The
peculiar thing about it is he voted with
those men who are generally spoken of
as reactionary or stand-pat. Dale, on the
other hand both on the prohibition and
the suffrage question voted with those
who recognize the advance of opinion on
such topics of national and world wide
moment as these two great questions.
Some paper asked if the east side wanted
to exchange their congressman for the
west-wlde man, trying to belittle Dale.
For one we perfer the man we have-a
man who goes after first-hand informa-
ton about the worlds greatest question,
war; and brings back ringing message
that is stirring the nation; man who
recognizes the evil of a governments
official connection with a generally adj
mitted curse, the liquor traffic, and casts
his vote for its adjustment; man who
recognizes in woman person capable of
judgment and lends the weight of his
influence in her favor. While recognizing
Congressman Greenes great ability this
paper is disappointed in his attitude
toward some questions of the hour

to the federal constitution and had
to explain to the men, and now he
has voted against the--woman's suf-
frage amendment and will have to
apologize to the women. Congress-
man Greene was not inconsistent in
his voting above although there are
doubts as to the same fairly repre-
senting the will of his district.
However, Frank Greene is a thor
oughly loyal, fair minded and able
representative of his district and is
doing good work for Vermont and
the nation. We believe in Congress-
man Greene, nevertheless, we wish
he had voted differently on these
questions.

Red Cross Needs Nurses.

The most vital necessity of the Ameri-
can Red Cross at the present time is
nurses.
Trained nurses are needed for the home
environments and the hospitals in France.
And it is also important that reserve
organization should be effected at once.
New England is expected to furnish
$500 trained nurses for Red Cross work.
Nearly all the New England hospitals
have enlarged their schools for the
training of nurses for war emergencies.
The duty of the nurse is as important
to the boy at the front as that of the
physician and it is one of the highest
forms of patriotic service to which the
young woman of New England can
dedicate themselves at this time.

Bureau Of Nursing Service, New En- q and
Division, American Red Cross, 755

STATE PRESS
Why Papers Are Failing

The failure to sell the CaIedonian
daily or weekly, to anyone, during the
last month, is striking commentary of the
state of newspaper business at the
present time.
The old Caledonian always was a
paying paper.
1t was 80 years old and had the best
local news service in Vermont. This
daily had circulation of over 5000.
Both were published in live town,
all reports to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Not man offered to buy who had
money enough to carry on the business
Why?
Because there is no money in the BUSH
ness.
Official reports show that over 1900
papers in the United States and Canada
went out of existance in 1917. Of these
925 were suspensions and $50 were con.
solicitations.
Whoever invests in newspaper property
now, does in the hope that when the
war is over, business will be better.
We do not believe there ars five news
papers in the state that are paying
running expenses, counting a salary for
the owner, editor or publisher no higher
than is paid the foreman.
If you appreciate your home paper,
support it loyalty during this hard time
period for all newspapers.
We are not speaking particularly of
this paper, Of general conditions though
out the state.
Everything that goes into a paper has
gone up sly-high; help IS scarce, almost
impossible to get; advertising is dropping
off, etc.
That is why no purchaser for such q
plant and business as the Caledonian
could be found, even at bankrupt
sale ces.-Morrisville Messenger.

Naval Cadet S!anu,

"For certain slang expressions used
by the Annapolis cadets" writes Ju-
liam Street in his new travel book,
American Adventures" 81 am in
debted to q member Of the corps. From
this admiral-to-be learn that q bird
or 'wazzo' is man or boy; that
steam is marine engineering, and to
be 'bilged for juice is to fail in exam
ination in electrical engineering; to
get an 'unsat,' or unsatisfactory mark,
or even a zip or 'swabo,' which is a
zero. Cadets do not escort girls to
dances, but drag them; a girl Is a
drag and heavy drag or brick Is
an unattractive girl who must be ia
ken to a dance. A 'sleuth' or Jimmy
legs is q night Waterman, and to be
ragged Is to be caught. Mess-hall
walters are sometimes called 'mokes,
while at other times the names Of
certain exalted dignitaries Of the navy
department or of the academy are ap.

Vermont In The National House

The conjunction of Vermont's two
members of Congress at the Dairymen's
banquet was a somewhat unusual event.
Their presence and addresses afforded
our people an excellent opportunity to
see at close and new range how the state
is represented in the national House
of Representatives at this time in this
period Of war. Both men have taken on
new strength with experience in the halls
of national legislation, and it is probably
safe to say that at no time in the memory
Of the present generation have we had
two men in that body better able to hold
their own on the floor than our present
members. Both men are figuring prom
inently in connection with the war.
Congressman Greene, a leading repu-
blican member of the House committee
on military affairs has been with us so
many times that all Of our people know
of his speaking ability. Many of the
people of Burlington and vicinity heard
Congressman Dale Of the second district
for the first time. He had wonderful
message from the battlefront in France
and from our Vermont boys. He sstirred
the emotions Of his hearers as they have
not previously been stirred, and Con-

Fire Report

Redwood County's fire loss during
the last year was $12,897 from ten
fires.
This is gratifying decrease as
compared with the loss and number,
of fires in Redwood County last year,
says Geo. H. Nettleton, Asst. Chief
State Fire Marshal.
The citizens Of Redwood County
are to be congratulated on this splen-
did showing. In many counties in
Minnesota there has been some de-
crease in fire losses but there still
is room for more reductions in this
matter. However, if other sections
of the state do as we'll as Redwood
County, both the state and federal
governments will feel satisfied that
everything is being done to help pre-
vent the useless fire waste.
