Minnesota has appropriated $40 900 for the
purpose of preventing forest fires in Northern
Minnesota. That will help some But man

and with megaphone sid profane voice wan
the camper that if he tailed to deaden that fire
when the coffee was done that he would return
with gas bomb and wipe him off the beach
would be more to the manner of things All
this talk about getting hydJoplane seems SO
far to have been bunk. 1t is the thing to buy
with that $4,000. 1t will make the camper
watch every cloud with the expectation that at
any moment machine will swoop down on him
and pinch him. This country up here will al
ways burn until such time when the coffee boiler
is afraid to strike match alone ten miles out
Make him afraid by hydro machine and with
a~HE man to drive it. Fires start from some
cause. The coffee boiler is the cause of nine
cases out of ten. Spontaneous combustion-it
is to laugh. Lightning might start a fire, but
we doubt it The coffee boiler has many sins
to answer for. The locomotive is not in it with
the coffee fiend in starting confiagration.
There is always forest fire on in BURBERRY
picking time. flying machine over patch
of pickers would drive the bunch to the lakes
for drink and the old coffee pail be forgot

There is lake to alight on and to start from
every few miles-and rods in many places
Something should be done that is drastic for
The prevention of forest fires. Put the fear of
God in the hearts of the coffee drinkers in the

The boquet thrown today is the one that is
appreciated. The one thrown later is lost and
mas no cheer in it. The man who throws his
boquet today is the one with the right spirit in
him. Boquet throwing while the target is liv-
ing brings its returns like the proverbial bread
cast upon the waters. A community of men
of the boquet throwing class would be one to
move to and to tie to. Give us the optimist
always. He is the man to herd with The man
who can see and recognize some good in every
fellowman is force anywhere. Every human
being feels better after shower of boquets
have fallen upon him. Praise will do more in
this world than bricks thrown. 1t is not SO
much the words said about us as the spirit be-
hind it all that does count. A man with the
happy spirit of boquet throwing within him has
a recipe for success and happiness and whole
world of friends within his kindly grasp. Too
many of us see no good in anyone-until the
services are being preached over them. 1t does
seem hard to start the boquets flying during
life. Too few of them are in motion. But,
the man who has the spirit within him to do it
lis blessed.

The Mankato Free Press thinks that tax

The Mankato Free Press thinks that tax
should be levied on all bachelors. 1t could be
done of course, but it is also possible that the
bachelor would pay the tax cheerfully rather
than to take on the added tax of family as a
better financial choice of the two. When one
goes out these days with the thought in mind of
starting new hearthstone,. the price of stones
shell shock mile Carpenters, architects and
the long line of expense accounts, makes his
bank account turn over and groan. His salary
looms up as large as an animalculi in drop of
water and he has the flu thinking it over. Any
tax would be paid cheerfully. But the new
hearthstone idea is the best think of them all
cost or no cost.

Poor old Ireland is beset by bayonets and
today good old home rule is getting farther
and farther away from them. Bombs, murders
and violence will never set them free. A fit
ness for government of their own beats the
bomb business America would love to see old
Ireland belong to itself, but there are many
fears that should this ever come about it would
be short lived. Harmony among majority of
them must prevail for successful government.
When Ireland becomes of one mind, then only
will come for them the home rule they are seek
ing after. But that is some more of their
affairs, not ours. We have our own troubles
in good old America.

No country but has its drawbacks. We
know what ours is here in Ely. But the draw
backs here are nothing as compared to some
other places we know of. The papers today
are Detailing other states and countries and
our troubles seem the least of them ALL Along
the Mississippi River the folks are getting out
of bed at night to climb the home fagpole and
to send an rs. O. S." for some steamer to come
and take them off. Overseas they are still
watering the earth with human blood. Tens of
thousands of people are starving to death in
other places we read of. And we kick like the
proverbial mule because Spring loiters just
around the corner there and does not show up
at once. And really that is about all that we
have up here to roar about We should be
ashamed of ourselves and thank Him that he
has seen fit to send us so many blessings and so
few drawbacks.

Jack Frost, the artist gave us another of
his souvenirs in white on the windowpanes,
Saturday, before he left for the Pole. Jack sure
is an artist with the frost picture stuff. But
enough of enough is enough. The city snow

into execution Saturday last. The walks were
plowed out so that Mother and the Girls could

Girls look as good as others and he puts his
nose to the grindstone as he always has and
always will like the good old Dad that he is and

man without home and children to work for
and to give his best ticks for. He is missing
the grandest and best of this life. He is passing
up the Grand Plan"and is merely staying here.

The foreign language newspaper is all
right if an American has charge of the official
editorial typewriter. Before an issue is sent
through the mails today, an American censor
should have squint at it. When 100 per cent
is arrived at in the policy of the paper, then let
the sheet go through the mails. A foreign Ian
guage newspaper can do lot of good if it will
in the way of Americanization if the editor of
It has the right heart in him. But, when the

propaganda in it-get the can and string
ready. Any language is all right-but the un-
American stuff in it is what we should all OBJ
ject to. This is America and it is our country.
Let's have it America first, last and always.

the discourse Attawaugan has made
