LAST HOPEFOR BOOZE
MAYBE GOVERNMENT GRANTED
HUDSON BAY PEOPLE 80 YEAR
LICENSE IN CASS.~

Whether it is true or not, we can It
vouch for it; we are only relying on
the word of fellow who said he was
going back to Canada because it was
true, says the Cass Lake Times. Maybe
it was ruse Of the Canuck immi gra-
tion authorities, but the yarn sounds
solid. You know Canada went dry,
and the way the "redcoats enforce
the law around the provinces, there was
about as much chance Of a man getting
jag as there was Of getting the
American people to shake hands with
Kaiser Bill. We'll, as is natural, the
advocates Of the reign of serpent juice
looked through the statutes Of the do
minion for some way to kick hole IN
the law, and this fellow says they found
it. 1t seems that the Canadian govern
mcnt granted to the Hudson Bay COM
pany permit to sell bug juice for nine
ty-nine years, and that at the time the
new "dry' law was passed, the Hudson
Bay people had used up only As years
of that time and have a perfect right to
sell scutiwaboo for the next As years.
But that ism It all; we've just been
wondering what arrangement the Amer,
lean government made with the Hudson
Bay outfit as there is an old Hudson
Bay post on beautiful Star Island. For
the advocates of booze this last one
glimmering light shines across the wat
ers Of oblivion and like drowning man
grasping for straw their hearts peti-
ton that some such fluke has been made
by the fellows running this country at
this timo

QUOTA HALF RAISED
SALVATION ARMY DRIVE LAG
GING-ONLY 81, 700 1N-MORE
PEP NEEDED.

Unless the people of Little Falls and
Of Morrison county wake up the repu-
tation that they have established for
"going over the top' whenever called
upon to contribute to worthy cause
will be ruined. Last week drive for
funds for the Salvation Army for home
service work was launched in this coun-
ty, backed by the Elks lodge of Little
Falls. The quota Of the county was
$4,000. Today, eight days from the
time tho campaign began, the total
amount raised is $1,000, a trife over
half the quota.
-Four out of approximately 40 dis
tricts have reported their quota rails
ed They are Bellevue township, Roy
alton village, Motley village and Swan
vile village. Elsewhere the drive has
progressed very slowly, due no doubt in
a large measure, to the Inactivity of
the solicitors. In the city of Little
Falls the campaign has been tagging, in
fact the contributions from the bust
ness men in general have not been near
what the committee had hoped for.
The general committee, of which w.
E. Olson is chairman, is anxious to put
this county over the top in this drive
and is urging the solicitors to take
time off to finish the job right.
The Salvation Army has been doing a
great work in this country for 35 years.
During the late war It established an
enviable reputation for the splendid
work done among the soldier boys.
"Ask the Boys-they know.' Now
this organization is raising a fund to
carry on home service work On greater
scale than ever. They deserve both the
moral and financial support of the pub
