REGISTERED GUERNSEY cow
e PURCHASED BY /. A. cODlN


The foundation of the first regis
tered herd of any breed in this coun-
ty has been laid by L. A. Godin's
purchase of a registered Guernsey
cow from the Gable herd Of Two
Harbors. About a year ago MIR. Co
din bought a registered Guernsey
bull calf of May King breeding from
the Northeastern Expesiment Farm
at Duluth and his recent purchase
puts him in the ranks of breeders
of pure-bred stock.
This is an event of real interest
in the development of the dairying
industry in this county and a sign
of progress in the campaign for
better dairy cattle. The day of the
scrub sire is done and the common
cow must give place to daughters Of
pure-bred sire, for with. the present
high values of feed, labor, and
-butter-fat the common COW is a poor
investment and a retarder of pro-
gress.

Smith Presents Reservations.
Opposing textual changes necessitat-

declaring ratification without reserva-

Democrat of Georgia, got the floor
first and presented seven reservations
to the peace treaty. They should be
adopted, he said, to clear up doubtful

While only specifying seven reserva-
,tions, Senator Smith said he believed
"substantial. modification" should be
placed upon the labor provisions, but
he withheld suggestions because other
senators contemplated proposing a
resolution covering that provision.
Senator Smiths first reservation is
q substitute for the amendment of
Senator Johnson, designed to equahze
the voting power in both the Assemb-
ly and Supreme council under the
league OF nations. The next three
are similar to those reported by the
senate foreign relations committee af-

the league, the Monroe Doctrine and
reserving the right of this country to

The fifth reservation covers article
10, and Senator Smith said the United,
States could not assume, under article
10 or any other article, obligations to
preserve the territorial integrity or
political independence of any other
country or in case of controversies
between other nations to engage in
economic boycotts. The reservation
further provides that mandates can
not be accepted for this country
without congress- approval.
Of the nine amendments yet to be

| SOME TRUTH IN THAT

SOME TRUTH IN THAT #
Some Of our state officials who.
have charge Of the public domain
and it's ereditaments, and who are
seemingly obsessed with passion
for conservation, should get to-
gether and form some sort of a
plan that will work to greater adj
vantage than is shown in the pres.
ent arrangement. ... as13s@:.: s11 1@::*:>g>> y, +. :.
!. State Auditor Preus wants 4 to
save all Of the timber on the shores
of the northern inland lakes as a
means Of preserving the rare beauty
spots from the ravishing greed Of
the lumbermen and other destroying
agencies, and it is a most praise
worthy effort. There are yet many
lakes in the northern counties of the
state that are surrounded by majestic
forests, and Mr.. Preus believes that
these wonder scenes can be perpitu-
ated for the benefit of prosterity.
And he is right, eninently right.
MIR. Preus is conducting a cam
paign of education in the hope of
arousing interest throughout the
state on this conservation scheme,
and he should encounter no great
difficulty in gaining such law from
the state legislature.
But the state is working against
itself.
State Game Warden Avery, and
the very best official in that capacity
the state ever had, is just as strong
for the preservation and propagation
Of the game, fish, animals and fowl
of the state, and he has a most effic-
lent organization for carrying out his
plans.
A few years ago a law was passed
making closed season on beaver. to
head off the trapper, with the result
that northern Minnesota is now over
stocked and over-run with the busiest
and most destructive little animal
on earth, and the increase lis going on
at an alarming rate.
The beavers are spelling more lake
shores than the lumbermen possibly
could, and they show no discrimina-
ting sense whatever. Lakes of beauti-
full shore lines that would not be
molestaded by the lumbermen look
just as good to the Industrious little
beaver as the lake with the shore
line studded with trees of CONNER
cial value.
b !: : In Cook county, particularly, where
there are hundreds of the prettiest
lakes on earth, the beavers have
erected their dams and destroyed the
growth about the shore of many of
the finest lakes in the county, the
waters of which have been raised US
high as six feet i'm some instances.
The backed up water floods the
shores and kills all of the timber in
reach, outdoing the destructiveness
of the logger in his pal1niest days,
and in a. few years these beautiful
and picturesque lakes will show but
the ghostly remains of the pine,
birch, maple, spruce, tamarac, balsam
and smaller growth. And this isn't
all of the damage that is charged up
to the protected beaver. His damn
ing Of the lakes give a greater area
of water surface, necessarily shallow,
which warns and stagnates and
makes it unfit as habitation for
the trout that otherwise thrives in
all the lakes and streams along the
north shore of Lake Superior, and
this gamiest of all fish is dying by
the thousands as direct result of
the depredations of the protected
destroyer.

Underwent Pain of Having Tooth Drawn With Stoicism That Would

It does not require much imagina- tion to realize that pulling an ele- phant's tooth is something of an en- gineering as well as a dental job.
 An example of this was when Albert, one of the biggest elephants in the Ringling herd at Madison Square gar. den. New York, had refused to eat and the circus veterinary found a great tooth cavity which was beyond rene dy by filling.
 The tooth that was giving Albert so much discomfort was as large as a mans fist After liberal dose of co caiHe had been injected, forceps as biz as lee tongs were clamped to the tooth rope attached to the forceps, and Il squad of trainers made ready to sup ply the pulling power.
 At q given signal the trainers gave a tremendous pull, and out came the huge tooth
 Tn this sort of dental work the un- known quantity Hes In what the ele- phant will do Albert had been taken out of the menagerie to prevent panic among the rest of the herd in case he developed an inclination to object to the process. However, he underwent the ordeal calmly, and as soon as his jaw was dressed he was conducted back to his stall.
