Each pure affection, pledge of human
trust,
The mere intention to be kind and
just,
The generous word, the sympathetic
look
All, all are written in life's record

Nothing is lost. A mans immortal
part
Is fashioned day by day within his
heart.

Three Salers

Three salers went sale-ing out into the
west;
Out into the West as the sun rose high
Each thought of the bargain that SHE
would love best.
And wondered what marvels her money
would buy,
For men must work, and women mus'
spend,
Though money is scarce. and no one will
lend,
And the Bargain Sales be raging.
Three wives sat up in their bedroom dim
And they turned up the gas as the
sun went down.
They looked at fat parcels, and purses
so slim: ......
And happily planned their next jour
ney to town.
For men must work. and women must
spend
Though ruin be sudden. and credit will
end
And the Bargain Sales be raging.
Three husbands still gaze on the silks
and lace,
In the morning gray, when all hope
has flown;
But the women are sleeping and dream
ing in peace
OF land where the sale bills are never
torn down.
For men must work. and women must
spend,
And the sooner tits over, the sooner the
And goodby to the sales and their
raging.

the distinction of being the first

Heart Beats

We are never alone.
When human companionship
Drifts off into
The outer world
There is a little spirit
Within
Who sails forth
And we call her
"Solioquy"
After the days
Rumble and roar
Have ceased
Trucks have left
The rocky pavement
Yelling motorcycles
Have taken to
The open road
We sit in the twilight
ana call TO US
Wonders of the past.
We heal old wounds
Made by our sharp tongue.
Friends and enemies
OF the past
We gather around us.
Deceased authors and poets
We welcome to our
Campfire communion
And discuss their writings
Their lives
Their human sympathies
And sufferings.
Those cynical old poetsl
Those studious old authors!
Risque old Balzac!
All possess subtlety-
Keen wit
And some a
Lovely,
Wholesome humor.
Only Ibsen
Is really wounded
By what he's seen of Life.
With "Soliloquy"
We put the world
Alright
And are as one
With Past and Future.
We enact the drama
Of human joy and tragedy
And sooth the heart
OF the world for the night.
There is no gap
For loneliness
When the worlds
Greatest and best
Come at our call.

BY LOUIS UNTERMEYER
Listen! The dust at our feet whis-
pers and breathes.~
1t speaks in a voiceless air that is
delicate but august.
Hurry, it says, for the wave that
rushes and seethes
Will spend Itself on the rocks and
crumble with you in the dust.
I turn from the earth to your eyes;
they are bright as before.
Your ears can hear nothing grave.
That is merciful and just.
Thank God that you are not bur-
dened with knowledge and
useless lore!
You can dance through world
that surrenders to murder, to
squalor, and lust.
Thank God that your eyes are
screened from the day that !
see,
When your laugh is bony grim
ace and the gold in your hair
is rust;
When your fowery hand with its
FIVE white petals, will be
A sensitive flower turned yellow,
that withers and droops in the
dust!
And we shall be lying apart, but
compassionate winds will
blow,
Mingling our little separateness. a
handful of doubt and distrust.
md the years will come thunder
ingly by, triumphantly as they
go,
To creep back broken and join US,
with the night, in the frail
dust.

SAVING CLOTHES.

For these days of high costs, pro-
gram for clothing conservation is a
welcome thing, and such program
has been prepared by Marion Weller,
of the division of home economics,
University of Minnesota, for use
throughout the state. Effective post
ers go with it. The object is to teach
the facts with regard to clothing re-
sources and methods of conservation.
The program calls for the collection
and preparation of demonstration ma
terial, the giving of demonstrations
with Illuminating talks, and lot of
other things incidental to these
things.
Copies of this program and posters
may be had by those interested in
promoting clothing conservation in
their communities by addressing

Sunday last was the first ideal Sun
day of the season. And the people
were out in force, to church, to the
lakes, to the highways in all direc-
tionS. The dust never settled all
day and far into the night on many
of the main thorougfares. Long Lake
was covered with canoes and launches
and the flash of paddles and the CLINT
of oars, constant. Camp fires burned
on many rocky ledge and picnic
parties certainly enjoyed the day in
Ely. The timber is taking on a
most beautiful coloring of delicate
green and the trails are becoming
shady once more. With another
week, and with a good, soaking rain,
the forest will be out in full leaf and
the good old summer time will be on

There is a feeling of admiration in
every American heart for Harry
Hawker and his pilot of the plane
which started for Ireland and is re-
ported as lost. He should have won.
Americans are gentlemen, and game
losers, and hence the hope that the
brave lads might "beat them to it. -
Theirs was ghost of chance to
win. Ours but simple matter as
compared to theirs. We had safe
guarded our boys in their flight to
the Azores. But one chance in a
hundred of their being lost at sea.
1t must have taken wonderful nerve
to have given the word-"Let 'er go,
boys" Hawker did this and America
always admires brave men, whether
they win or lose. Let us hope against
hope that yet the two may be picked
up alive and returned to their homes
and families. They were provided
with unsuitable suits and with a
small store of provisions. But, the
Atlantic is broad and Fate is at
times most unkind.

But little concern need be had over
the fact that the Hun refuses to touch

Foch-and our Hoover yet to say a
word to Germany. Whether they do
sign or do not, makes but little diff
ference. The fact that the Allies
have their fangs extracted is a sure
sign that in the end things will work
out alright. They know that they
are whipped, but, bull-headed as they
are, they want to get all they can in
their own interest. Let 'em squirm.

criminal carelessness liable to do un-
told damage and might cause the loss
of life. The Moose Lake tragedy
last fall is too fresh in the minds of
the people. The action of Judge Cole
man was in direct contrast to the
actions of certain judge in this city
last summer who turned loose a man
arrested by the forest rangers for
setting fires with the remark, eff l
had brush to burn, l would burn it
any time" 1t is just as criminal to
set fire to endanger your neighbor in
the woods as it is to set fire to your
own building in town. Ignor-
ance of the law on the part of the
homesteader is a little excuse but
ignorance on the part of judge is a
crime.

and to the Republic for which it
stands. One Nation, indivisible;
with liberty and justice for all.

When it comes time to vote on the
bonds with which to pay for the paved
roads in St. Louis county is to have,
there should not be single, solitary
vote against it. 1t should be unan-
imous election. For, roads are what
makes a country. Without them we
are a wilderness. The better the
roads are the closer all of us get to-
gether. With paved roads and the
auto and truck, what is hundred
miles? Merely a short run. Com
modities scarce in one section can be
quickly transported to that section
from one over-supplied with that
commodity and thus prices will be
evened up. Good roads are an
auxiliary to railroads and the more
of each of them, the better the coun-
try will become. No one should hold
out against the paved road at the
coming election. Larger loads can
be hauled over the paved road and
hence less expense is attached to
transportation. A paved highway
concerns each of us as we all use the
roads. The better the roads are, the
more they will be used. And now
with the coming of the various long
distance roads, Ely can soon be look
ing at auto numbers from the wide,
wide world. And every new number
leaves few new dollars and new dol
lars are what we want. Any argu-
ment against paved roads should fall
flat-there are none.
