BIG TIME THE FOURTH
Amasa Was the Mecca 70; People
From All Over the County on
July Fourth

The celebration held here on July
4th was by far the best OF any of It's

visitors were attracted to Amasa from
Crystal Falls, Alpha and other places

There was a general participation
In the events OF the day noticeable
that lent much interest and made the
sports and other events much more
interesting.
The days events opened with Q
splendid parade after which adjourn
ment was taken for dinner and then
came the wild West" show, followed
by other events of the day.
The CREASED pig was soon caught
by Louis Blomquist.
Eight persons tried walking the
creased pole over the river and each
received his duckfng in turn. After
each had made several unsuccessful
attempts, Billy Grayson finally walk
ed the pole to its end and won the
prize.
Owing To the lack OF time because
OF the 14-inning ball game the shot
put and the hop, skip and jump for
both men and boys had to be omitted.
Wild West Show
The most attractive feature OF the
day was the wild West show" put
on by the COW boys OF the Triangle

OF Lieutenant G. II. Shutz. The fol-

were pulled of:

the ground with his horse at full gall

BOARD RESIGNED
Members Sacrificed Themselves For
the Good Of the Children OF the
District.

On June 10Th the entire board OF
education OF the Hematite School dis
trict handed In their designations.
The members were J. Il. Gibson, presi-
dent; John Il. Thompson, secretary;
VIM. Burge. treasurer. Abraham Gill
and Iver Olson.
The resignation OF the board mem
bers came as a result OF the contest
between the Taxpayers Association
and the school district over the com
pletion Of the new school building.
Unpleasantness arose out OF the con-
tention that developed into a personal
phase and the members thought that If
by getting out OF the way they could
bring about harmony between the con-
fiicting interests and get the building
started ii would be better for all con-
cerned.
Ii is understood that their action
has smoothed things over and that a
compromise will be effected by the
new board which will end in the COM
pletion of the building In time for
school next fall. There is no stigma
attached to the individuals OF the old
board and all acquainted with the con-
ditions compliment them for their ac-
ton. The members Of the new board

Why Clothes Wear Out.

Textile Chemist in London Daily
Mail.
Most people consider the wearing
out" of clothes as something which is
unavoidable, inconvenient, but not
worthy of attention. Yet the why and
wherefore of this wearing out" are
full of interest.
All clothes wear out through expo
sure to sunlight, air, rain, mechanical
strain and bacterial action. Of these
sunlight is by far the most harmful.
Hence clothes not in use should be
stored in the dark.
But light is selective in the ac-
ton. A dark fabric is less affected
than one which is highly colored. So
that a Briton's love for drab-colored
clothing cannot entirely be condemn
ed.
Moreover, red and yellow light are
less destructive than the blue, violet
and ultraviolet light.
Not all fabrics are affected alike,
for while wool and silk rapidly de-
%teriorate in strong sunlight, cotton
and linen are much more resistant.
In spite of this, however, it would
not be economical to use all cotton
clothing, since colors fade more rap
idly on cotton than wool. When a
dyed wooden fabric is exposed to
sunlight, the fabric is attacked first,
and the dye is thereby partly pro-
tected. In the cotton fabric the dye
protects the cotton.
Acourse dress material is more
resistant than a fine-one to sunlight.
Clothes are not much affected by
pure rain and air. In manufacturing
towns, however, the atmosphere is
often slightly acid, and it is then
practically destructive to wool.
Cotton and wooden fibres are very
elastic and strong. They can with
stand a great deal of rubbing. So
that generally is it not until clothes
have suffered from exposure to SUM-
light that fail to resist the strains
caused by ordinary wear.
1t pays most people to notice how
their clothes wear But dyers are
more concerned, since the fastness
of the dyes used must be appropri-
ate to the life of the fabric.

The Pasture on the Other Side
of the Fence.
Two foolish horses.

once saw a picture of two horses
standing on the opposite side of a
fence that separated two quite sim
liar pastures thinking it better
than his own pasture.
There is a great deal of unrest to-
day in our agriculture, more than
any other profession, in fact does our
agriculture conceive that it getting
the worst end of these untoward
postwar conditions. This agricultural
unrest in the north is as great as it
is in the south for the high freight
rates have acted especially heavily
upon northern agriculture, and
moreover northern agriculture has
been largely selling its PRODUCTS to
the South and thereby living on the
South and this trade has been wholly
lost to them,
A General Unrest.
The fact, however, is that unrest
today extends through all conditions
of society, not only in this country
but elsewhere. The Mariner every
where thinks that the merchant is in
better shape and the merchant thinks
than he is and the merchant thinks
that the manufacturers condition is
the better; labor thinks that capital
is better off and capital is pretty
sure that labor is getting the better
end of things. The condition, how
ever of capital and labor illustrates
quite well the whole situation. The
bonds and stocks of capital are SELL
ing at lowest levels and losses in all
these things have been simply infinite
On the other hand there are more
than five millions of idle laborers
today-men with families to support
and men who have been without jobs
possibly for months and months.
Many of these men, indeed, r get
ting their food largely in bread
lines. The fact is that there is no.
safe place and no safe profession to-
day in the land which carries a guar
antee against loss. AS to southern
agriculture, its position and its future
is a better one than is northern ag-
riculture for the southern farmer
can live at home while the northern
farmer cannot do so and northern
farmers land costs from five to
ten times more dollars per acre than
does the land of the southern far
mel.

IN these days for US a4zE9a
,asstatussaf unrest and to thaessftss
ks pasture 81 he eT The
fence the betferoa hoioug
Business man, friend of mine has
just returned from a trip to northern
New York, the middlewest and the
northwest. He told me yesterday
that the weeyil cotton south was in
no worse condition than were the
states which he visited. 81 saw there
just as much frozen credits and past
due debts, Just as many pecuniary
losses and just as much ~dishearten-
ing conditions as obtained here.
Moreover" said he, 81 found there
possibly ten times the idleness that
exists here" Said he, "The North,
in every way, is just as hard hit, and
possibly more so than is the South
and 1 believe there are more factors
of safety and recovery here than
exists there. Migration, for example
on the part of anyone of any pro-
fession and black or white from the
South to the North just now would
sin my opinion be foolish"
Stick to Your Job.
The moral of all this is that if
you have got a job then stick to it
and work out your salvation as best
you can just where you are. If you
are in some present work then you
have a niche and a place and there
may not be a niche and a place for
you somewhere else. You know the
habitat and environment in which you
live. You do not know the habitat
and environment of other places. You
have your circle of friends about you.
You have no friends. in yonder place.
Gets Us Nowhere.
This general unrest in peoples
minds really gets US nowhere. 1t is
all simply like the e and tear of
a grindstone on our souls. The truth
is too, that life was not intended to
be an easy thing-life was intended
to be a struggle. The unrest of the
Russian people, got them nowhere
nor did the recent unrest and up
risings of Italy do them, too, any
thing but harm. Social unrest in the
world is largely giving away to So
berer thought and it is time for our
financial unrest and economic unrest
too follow suit. And whether we be-
lieve it or not and whether we ac-
cept it or not the fact is that the very
best thing for all of US to do today
is to Craze in our own pastures and
to give the best genius and the best
devotion that is in US to the work at
hand.
