From what we En0W of the surface
conditions and climates OF the various
members Of the solar system, Prof.
Svante Arrhenius concludes that
Venus Is the only planet besides the
earth where life Is possible. Venus
has dense, warm atmosphere Of high
humidity. With everything dripping
wet. life near the equator should be
luxuriant. though of low order on ac-
count OF the uniform climate and lack
Of need FOR specialization but nearer
the poles the climatic diversity is
greater. suggesting more varied de-
vel0pment. Absence OF any at
mosphere makes life on Mercury and
the moon impossible. Mars, too. must
be uninhabltable with temperature
averaging about 81 degrees Q. below
zero and scarcely rising to freezing
point even at noon ON the equator
and its water supply Is small.

are injured in the service of their
country are receiving special con-
sideration at the hands of the United
States Civil Service Commission and
the Federal Board for Vocational
Education, working in cooperation.
When the Civil Service Commission
receives an application for examin-
alton from a discharged Yank, whose
physical condition is such that he
would not ordinarily be accepted,
his case is referred to the Federal

The Federal board turns the matter
over to field officer who promptly
goes out after the man and offers him
the services Of the Boards organi-
cation for special trs'ning to fit him
for the work for whicl1 he has applied;
or for some ether employment if it
does not seem practicable to train
him for the work for which he made
application to the Civil Service Com
mission.
Under d recent amendment of the
Civil Service rules, made on the re-
commendation of the Civil Service
Commission. the Commission mas
waive the established physical re.
quirements in favor of disabled ant

Ba6feId County Should Come to it
as Soon as Possible
Clay Roads Not Success Without
Coating Of Gravel. Why
Not Start Now.

That the treating Of the clay
roads in Bayfield, County with a
coating of gravel is the only
thing that will make them stand
up in all kinds of weather and
withstand the heavy traffic to
which they are subjected to is
coming to be the opinion OF
practically all members of the
county board and the firm con-
viction of the County Highway
Commissioner and the Road and
Bridge Committee.
To accomplish this end the
Road and Bridge Committee was
instructed at the last meeting of
the Board to begin the purchase
Of suitable gravel pits and this
is now being done by the COM
mittee.
Bayfield, county has a large
amount of clay roads. This is.
especially true in the central
portion of the county leading
from the city Of Washburn north
a distance of about five miles
and south from the city of
Washburn as far south as the
towns of Kelly and Mason.
There is also a clay stretch Of
road leading from Iron River to
Port Wing.
These particular roadsare in
good condition foT travel during
dry weather when they have
been well dragged at the proper
time but during wet weather
they are almost impossible for
travels and go pieces again.
These particular roads have to
stand more travel than almost
any other roads in the county,
yet they are in the poorest con-
dition and the need for building
up these roads is now apparent.
The state trunk highway from
Bayfield, to Ashland is the
county's most important high
way so far as traffic is concerned
yet this road is one of the poor
est, and it is no fault of the pres
ent highway commissioner or
the Highway Committee for
they have suggested gravel az
the only solution to maintaining
this important road.
The road from Ashland juno
ton south through the towns OF
Eileen, Mason, Kelly and Lincoln
is likewise an important piece OF
roadway for it is the main trunk
line system from the Twin
Cities north to the Chequamegon
Bav region. This road is also
good in dry weather but almost
impossible in wet weather and
needs the gravel badly.
The Port Wing Iron River
road is also almost all clay soil
and the same which applies to
the other roads also applies to
this road: This road is a part
of the county system but not a
part Of the state system.
These roads have all been
built to the proper grade and
have been rounded up but have
been leftin that condition and
all of the dragging that you can
possibly do will not put them in
condition so that they will stand
few days rain. By treating
these roads with gravel and
when this has been worked in
with the clay treating them
again until there is a hard sur
face of gravel on top they will
become good roads but without
this work being done they will
still remain clay roads which
are good when it is dry and I'M
passible when it is wet.
The County Board OF Bayfield,
County should give this matter
consideration and if there is
not funds available for doing

How tho Town Of =Lutsen COT its
5 E. T. 3= 3S= Name. .2s ss5f n,
By L. G.. Fridblon.

On the battlefield of Lutzen in
Germany Gustaf II Adolf of Sweden,
in history called the Great, when
mingling in the thick. Of the battle,
was killed, on the 9Th of November
in the year of our Lord 1882. The
day was won by him and his allies,
achieved over the papist armies. And
tho the war ragged still for 16 years,
the cause Of the reformation was
secured and brought forward by the
timely intervention of this great
king, who gave his life for the cause.
In commemoration of Gustaf
Adolf, a monument and a chapel
have been erected at Lutzen, Ger
many, and each year on the anniver-
sary of his death the memory of
this great man is solemnized on the
spot where he died for freedom of
thought and of religion. In Sweden
too, where he has an equestrian
statue in Stockholm; and one statue
in Goteborg, the Swedish people
each year commemorate his name by
illuminations of the statues and
songs by students from the univer-
-sities and high schools.
Thus it is how the name of Lutzen
has been woven into the history of
Sweden and made familiar to every
Swede, and how that name has been
made one Of the great moments in
Swedish history. And when the
Swedes here settle down on a place
and feel entitled to give it a name,
they naturally search their memory
for worthy one. And what worth
ier could they find than the name of
the Great Gustaf Adolf, and the
place where he met his glorious end
in the fight for cause in which the
future OF humanity to such an ex-
tent was involved.
That is how the originator of the
name for the town of Lutsen found
said name, which now in turn is 60
ing to be the name. of a.. United
States battleship, if rumor has it
right.

VlCTORYLOAN
Allotment REDUCED
Forty Thousand Dollars is the Mark
J. Set for Cook County Instead Of
Sixty Thousand.

Through some error this county 5
allotment Of Victory Loan was first
given out as 100000: Later advice
from the district, headquarters
shows our, allotment to be $4,000.
This is very gratifying to the people
in charge of the drive here as it was
very much feared that the high mark
of 100000 could not be reached,
while they feel that $4,000 is a
more just allotment and they will
leave no stone unturned until it is
reached. A number of the ladies in
the village have already gotten busy
and turned in a. nice bunch of appli-
cations the first day.
The revised allotments for the
various towns are as follows:

.s> STATE LEeisLATURE
By Vance Chapman.

The present legislature is. not a
gathering of big: men in the full
sense of the word. So. called floor
leaders are notably absent, still this
must not be taken as meaning that
the Forty-first is not above the aver
age. It is a. business legislature, and
to date has made good. In the case
of the house, leadership perhaps is
centered in the speaker, w. I, Nolan
of Minneapolis, and right here it
might be of interest to know that
the voters two years hence may have
an opportunity to pass on the quail
fcations of Mr.. Nolan for the repub-
lican nomination for governor. Re-
port has it that the Minneapolis man
is headed that way. As a presiding
officer, MIR. Nolan is far and away
ahead of many of his predecessors.
He is a good parlimentarian, a fluent
talker and knows how to handle men.
The present house while not an OBJ
stroperous one has at times been in
clined to be unruly, but at no time
has it got beyond the control of the
speaker. So far he has merited every
confidence placed in him. "Bill" No.
Ian for governor may not appeal to
some. Quite few profess to believe
that his city connection would be
harmful, but do not let that worry
you. "Bilr' comes pretty near being
state wide and if he does get into
the game he will be heard from.
Friends, it is said, are now framing
for him and no one would be- sur
prised if his possible candidacy for
the republican gubernatorial nomina-
tion was not announced before the
close of the present year was reach
ed.

tire days last week to dispose of

THE ROAD TO GRAND mARAls

Making an automobile trip from
Duluth to Grand Marais is a good
Ideal like approaching a beautiful
city; it is all right when one gets
there, but the approach through the
/; 7lums is discouraging., An outsider
IS es:. properly expects to- find the
best highway in the state between
the Twin Cities and Duluth, the
largest centres of population. With
that idea in mind, he is somewhat
shocked to find the most execrable
piece of road in the country. It is
little wonder that many turn back
when they think, as they have a
right to, that the road beyond Du-
luth, much of it in a wilderness,
must be much worse.
How could anyone be- expected to
know that the Twin City-Duluth
trunkline highway is the worst
piece of road in the state. That
piece of information ought to be ad-
vertised so that travellers would
know that better things are ahead
Of them. If they become discouraged
and turn back, they make mistake
for the roads of the north are we'll
worth even the agony Of a drive
from St. Paul to Duluth.
Once in Duluth most of the tour
ists' troubles are over, at least as
far as the roads are concerned. From
Duluth to Two Harbors4 there are
few hills and the road surface is
good, as it. is on most of the roads
in St. Louis County. The iron mines
see to- that. The first jar comes in
Two Harbors itself. The very elabor-
ate signs of "Welcome' at one end
of the town and "Come Again. at
the other end, though probably we'll
meant, take on a rather sarcastic
tone when one has bumped into town
over a quarter Of a mile of very
rough road and picked up two new
carpet tacks in the city streets.
From there on to Grand Marais is
just one hundred miles.
For. mile or two beyond Two
Harbors the road follows the rim Of
the low bluffs on the shore of Supe-
rior and the view is superb. 1t then
turns back from the lake and buries
itself in the hills. It is good driving;
hilly, but the road is good. Two
striking features characterize the
landscape. The rocky hills, which
are revelation to anyone from an
other section of the state, and the
complete deso1ation of the country.
AS far as Cramer, here is no timber,
just a little scrubby brush and
blackened, fire swept hills. The rea-
son is not far to seek. The road fol-
lows the railroad that far and the
railroad is operated BY the Alger-
Smith Lumber Company. For years
this company has consistently burn
ed over the country where they have
logged their own cut over lands and
the adjacent lands Of # the other
owners and of the state Their oper-
ations have been little short Of crim-
inal. They have destroyed millions
