wild. For an hour he had sat amid the con-
ficting sounds of the great city in it's hustle
and hustle of bleak winter: But his thoughts
were miles away. His eyes were dreamy.
The spell of the wild was upon him.
He wandered in unbroken territory. He
beheld wild meadows lush with grass. He
sat beside wide flowing rivers and tiny brooks
whose waters rushed in foamy splendor from
billy heights above He wandered to wooded
slopes, with trees abud and wild flowers
peeping from beneath dead leaves. A peace
was his which seldom came in his workaday
existence in the land of pavement and beehive
dwellings, He dreamed on. Brook trout in
speckled splendor rose to the captivating fly.
Large one they were, all of 'em. Camp-fres
lit the darkness of his dream night The
! odor of burning pine wood and of sizzling
trout and bacon filled his nostrils He ate
food such as his city chefs had never learned
to cook, with appetite his city stomach
had long since lost. In a single hour he
dreamed more happiness than had been his
for decade.

WOMEN MUST QUALIFY
u. S. Naturalization Examin-
er Gives Views on Aliens
and Their Wives.

In a communication to clerks
of courts in his district R. K.
Doe, of Duluth, q. S. Naturaliz-
alton Examiner, had the follow
Ing to say regarding naturaliza-
tion of aliens:
The last Wisconsin legislature
passed a law giving women the
right to vote for President,
,, They can avail themselves of this
right at the Presidential election
next fall.
When an alien man is natural
ised, his wife becomes a full citi-
zen by that act and can go to
the polls and cast her ballot
with her husband.
1t therefore becomes the duty
of the Government to see to it
that these women are as quail
fed for citizenship as their hus-
bands.
When a married alien applies
for citizenship in your court he
must bring his wife to final hear
ing and she must come prepared
to undergo the same examina-
ton as he. If she cannot pass
the examination her husbands
petition will be continued until
the wife has acquired the neces-
sary qualifications.
There are now night schools in
all the larger communities and
ignorance is no excuse any m ore
and will not be tolerated.
IF CITIZENSHIP is WORTH
ANYTHING IT rs WORTH
WORKING FOR.
Kindly give this notice the full
lest publication and impress up
on every petitioner that files in
your court, that both he and his
wife must come prepared to
show that they have sufficient
kno wledge to cast an intelligent
ballot.

Planning on Big Log Cut.

The VIM. A. Curtis & Co., at
State Line, are now steadied
down since the holiday vacation
for record cut of logs on their
holdings just out of that village
in Michigan. At present they
have over hundred men in the
Curtis and Bent crews, and are
decking a large amount of logs
along the railroad spurs, which
are now being built from State
Line station into the woods. "a
million a month";" is the slogan
of the crews, and from the way
things are moving, guess there
will be no question about it.
