A MARSHALL COUNTY Duty.

The annual drive for membership
in the American Red Cross is at
hand. It is not at all a drive for
funds or for donations but for menu

fee is all that will be asked Tor ac-a

would be given to the question of re-
fashioning the administrative sys-
tenn of the state. Much could be
done by statute in that direction as
was done in Illinois by Governor Low
den but there would undoubtedly
arise for consideration at a const-
tutional convention the question of
the number and kind of state officers
now provided for in our state consti-
tuition.
The whole question of divisions of
government for the purpose OF Il
more economical and effective ad-
| ADMINISTRATION would be OF legitimate
consideration at a constitutional con-
vention.
Certain corporations exist within
the state With are not now subject
TO municipal regulations, 1t il likely
that the provision with respect to the
right OF the state to repeal or amend
corporate charters would receive
consideration.
The whole matter of taxation
would probably be the most impor-
tant subject dealt with at Il consti-
tutional convention-~wha could be
done to facilitate the raising Of

Under the present constitution the
state can not incur a debt exceeding

except by submitting the question to
vote OF the people. The question
would arise whether this limitation
created IN 1857 is stilll reasonable.
From comment in the press by
representatives of the farm bureau
there is no doubt that there would
come up for serious consideration
what constitutional provisions could

living in Mexico under Mexican Gus
toms one or the, other of the oppos-
ing candidates would have sought to
thwart the wNl of the voters by
starting a revolution or by resort to
assassination.
Here in the United States we are
so universally prosperous and happy
and intelligent because we have
learned to govern ourselves under
carefully considered law and we al.
are willing to abide by the law. For
tins reason we look upon direct ac-
ton reformers as enemies to the re-
public and justify their deportation
or Imprisonment.
In other countries in which direct
action has become the style there is
no general prosperity or comfort for
the masses. no high and mighty civil
lization. nothing but revolution and

l. What Is the appearance of the
yellow winged sparrow?
Unlike the common sparrow. it's
little round wings are edged with
yellow. with tinge of yellow on it's
shoulders: hence it's name, the yell
low-winged sparrow. 1t has also a
yellowish line over the eye. It is by
no means common bird, tho there
are probably few farms in the middle
and eastern states upon which one
could not be found. It is one Of the
birds to be looked for. Ordinary oy-
servers do not see 1t or hear it.
:. DO bears show human traits?
President Roosevelt tells Of a Colo
RADIO bear he once watched at close
quarters. The bear was fussing
around a carcass of a deer, prepare
tory to burying it. Once the bear
lost his grip and rolled over during
the course of some movement, and
this made him angry and he struck
the carcass a savage whack, just as
pettish child will strike a table

use judgment?
Dan Beard tells of an ichneumon-
fly that tried all one day to thrust it's
oV1posltor into nail-head in a
board in his cabin, mistaking the
dark spot which the naiI-head made
for hole that led to the 'burrow OF

vations. the northern territory's two
great reserves.
Pulp and paper men are anxious to
go to Alaska and establish mills as
great as those operated in British
Columbia not far south of the Alaska
boundary line, the governor asserted.
Under the present laws the pulp max
ers cannot enter the reservations With
any certainty that they will be allow
ed to stay.
Alaska's great forests stretch over
approximately $4,000 square miles,
an area nearly equal in size 20 The
state of Indiana, according 70 esti-
mates made by government officials.
Several hundred million feet of
good pulp wood, including western
yellow pine, hemlock, Sitka iprute,
white fir and lodge-pole pine, are on
the forest reserves alona
The Tongas reserve, in southeast
ern Alaska, is especially adapted TO
the manufacture of pulp and paper,
forestry officials have reported.
There is plenty of water power, ocean
harbors open the year round, timber

The Governor intends to ask Wash

national domain or to open them to

FOR ASSIGNING
ARMY RECRUITS

WASHINGTON, Feb, 13.-To sti-
mulate regular army recruiting and
o u local interest, the war de-
partment has issued to all recruiting
officers over the country a schedule
for ALLEGATION of recruits by states
to specific regiments. Through this
method of distribution, officials be-
lieve each state will! take a personal
interest In the regiments to which
its men are assigned.
The framework of a divisional or
ganization on geographical lines is
also set up. New England will make
up me division, New York compose
another, and similarly the whole
country is covered.
Infantry and field artillery regi-
ments viii be 50 allocated as to best
identify each regiment with a Sc
parate state, according to the plan.
Where the number of regiments is
greater or less than the number of
states comprising the divisional area,
a regiment may be made up of re-
cruits from more than one state.
The regiments to which recruits
from the northwest states will go
are as follows:
Infantry and coast artillery re-
cruits from Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana go to the 35th and 57th regi-
ments, Camp Lewis, Wash; engi-
neers to Sth, Ell Paso or Fort Bliss;
