Your Paint Dollar
How Big in 5 Years?

TIME best paint will be good
i five or more years hence, if
properly applied. Cheap paint,
on the average, starts cracking
in twelve months.
It's what paint covers that
you want to save-not merely
a few cents per gallon in first
cost.
Cheap paint does not spread
as easily or as far as good paint.
So when you figure labor and
square yards covered, cheap
paint on the house costs as much
as good paint.
Cheap paint in practically
every instance, is the most ex-
pensive you can buy.
Don't allow surfaces to rot.
1t costs less to paint them.
The paints specified by Full
Ter are the result of II years
experience in the making of all
kinds of paints, varnishes, etc.,
for western use.

The reduction was generally anti
cipated for May, and proved to be
more moderate than advanced reports
in some quarters minated. Some of
the Independents who previously put
in effect reductions expected that the
cut would amount to 25 to 80 per
cent. A second cut by the inde-
pendents at least equalling the differ
ence between their first and that of
the Steel corporation is said to be
contemplated.
The announcement by the corpora
ton followed two-days' conference
between Judge Gary and the execu-
tive heads of the various subsidiary
corporations. In his statement
Judge Gary said:
"After long and painstaking eff
fort we have not been able to find a
practicable basis for the entire aban-
donment of the 12-hour day or turn
in the immediate future.
However, we have already elimin-
ated the 12-hour day in certain de-
partments apd shall continue our eff
forts in this direction with the hope
and expectation of making the elimi-
nation of the 12-hour day complete
during the next year We do not
believe we can satisfy our employees
with shorter limit"

President Harding and Governor
Preus have designated the week OF
May gid to 18th as Forest Protection
Week during which time special eff
forts are asked to study fire con-
ditions and to make people in the
wooded areas acquainted with the
dangers of indiscriminate fire setting.
Every day is fire prevention day and
every week in the year should be
observed by those using the forests
for recreation or business.
According to State Forester Cox,
forest fires in Minnesota have killed
over one thousand people, burned up
more timber than was cut and des-
troyed various kinds Of property
amounting to many millions of dol
lars. During 1920 over nine humid
red fires, covering approximately
ninety-seven thousand acres, were
extinguished by the rangers and the
cooperative organizations before they
did much damage. During the past
nine years there has been steady
increase in interest shown by the resi-
dents of the state in preventsng fires,
this, due mainly to the untiring work
mainly along educational lines, of
the rangers.

What the Press SAYS.

The Fargo Courier-News in speak
ing of the Konecny concert at Moor
head, has the following to say:
Josef Konecny, Bohemian violin
virtuoso, presented in concert at
Trinity Lutheran church last even
ing under the auspices of the Melvin
Hearl post of the American Legion,
won instant favor with the capacity
audience. Assisting him were Miss
Mary Iris, American pianist, and
Miss Lola Murel Alley, American
soprano. Miss iris is one of the
best pianists that has ever appeared
in Moorhead or Fargo and captiyated
her audience with her playing while
Miss Alley, singing not only selec-
tions from Madame Butterfly but
real American home songs such as
Zone Fleeing Hour" and "Annie
Laurie" which is not really an Am
erican piece by birth, but which has
been universally adopted here.
Konecny's Interpretation of Wien
iawiski's Concerto in D Minor" and
especially the Romance" suite of
that selection, made the assembly ,ust
settle back in their seats in pure
contentment. He played special
number at the close of the program
which was known to most of the au-
dience and which was enjoyed until
the very last note had died away.
Konecny reigned supreme while the
beautiful melody of Beethoven's Min
net in G filled the church.
Mary Iris is an American pianist
for American music. lovers. Her
first solo selection, "Polonaise in E,
by List, displayed her ability and un-
Outstanding of the pianoforte as a
great instrument, and her charming
personality made admirers even be-
fore she began to play.
Two selections by Ethelbert Neyin,
"Oh, That We Two Were Maying,"
and " Twas a Lover and His Lass, y
arranged by himself from vocal duets
to piano selections, were especially
well received.
Lola Murel Alley, after selection

SECOND CUT
IN CORP. HISTORY.
TWO WAGE REDUCTIONS BY
coRPORATloN-i02 PER IT.
INCREASE IN s YEARS.

A reduction of 90 per cent in day
labor wages, the second in its his
tory, by the United States Steel Cor.
poration. went into effect Monday
May 16. The announcement came
almost a month after the corpora
ton had put in effect reduction in
its prices ranging from SIS. to SIS
per ton. Normally this wage reduc-
tio,ewculd result in saving to the
corporation of $l16,0O0,000 annu-
ally, but asst is employing only 1885,
900 to 10000 men at present the
saving based on current operations
will amount to about $4,000, 900.
According to the corporations an
nual report it paid approximately
1851 900, 900 in wages and salaries
to 267,345 employees last year the
figures being based on practically full
operations. The announcement by
the corporation contained the state
ment that other rates and salaries
will be adjusted equitably to a basis
similar to the new wage scale.
The corporation advanced wages
10 per cent in February 1920, thus
adding $25, 1000, 900 annually to its
pay roll. This was the ninth increase
made since 1915, the various in
creases amounting to 9 to Is per cent.
Day labor, which was So at the be-
ginning of 1915, became $500 for a
10-hour day. The wage is now re-
duced to $4.05 for a ten hour day,
which is practically the base wage
scale. of 1918.
Only two wage reductions have
been made in the history of the
Steel corporation, including that just
announced. The first was made on
Jan. l, 1904, but the old scale was
restored again on April /, 1905!
Last year the average wage paid per
worker, including day labor and sal
aried employees, was $2173. This
will be reduced to 1899 as result
of the 20 per cent decrease, it is
stated. Labor cost per ton of steel
produced last year amounted to
$4,000. The reduction in the wage
scale will amount to saving of ap-
proximately S8.16. Following are
the average wages paid per year to
Steel corporation employees since
1902, the year the corporation was
founded:

@' FOREST NOTES
by the Superior Forest Office.)
ELY HAS EXCLUSIVE FEATURES
IN THE SUPERIOR FOREST.
(By A. r. Carhart.)

Ely is destined to be one of the
greatest Quitting points for trips
into vacationland. 1t is very prob
able that in years to come the very
mention of a canoe will make the
nearer think of Ely, Minnesota, or
the mention of Ely will call to the
mind a wonderland of lakes and
streams where the canoeist will find
his ideal territory.
Ely has one of the most unique
Fairgrounds owned by the United
States Government in the Superior
National Forest. There is no other
place in the country where the nation
owns territory where the canoe is
supreme. The Yellowstone is Justly
noted for it's being an auto play
ground. The same is true of the
Yosemite. The Rainier country is the
mountain climbers paradise. But
only one place is there the opportun-
ity of making canoe country which
will be a great National playground
and that is in the Superior Forest.
The usual idea of the average per-
son when thinking of developing a
recreation territory is that there
should be great hotels and fine auto
roads. Nothing could be more re-
moved from the actual situation In
the Superior. While there must be
certain highways and certain hotels
to bring people to the edge of the
canoe country and keep them while
they are Quitting, the whole devel.
opment in the intention of the Forest
should be canoe or boat traffic ex
clusively.
There is good principle of Dusi
ness in this. If the Superior is de.
veloped for auto traffic it enters into
competition with all the other auto
Fairgrounds of the country-Atlanti.
City, Yosemite, Yellowstone and the
multitude of other play areas devel
oped for auto use. If the Superior
remains a canoe country there is M
competition in the country-the Sup
erior stands alone. There will be M
competition anywhere in the worle
that will successfully compete Will
the Superior.
There Is another feature in thiI
sort of development. Auto road

Might Have Been Real Serious

The Girl Scout Troops spent the
day at the State ranger cabin on
BURNSIDE Saturday and put in very
strenuous day in the snow storm. All
seemed to be having a fine time. A
most regrettable feature happened
in the evening when the cars arrived
for the homeward trip. The John
Anderson car driven by Ernest An
derson, containing, Misses Susan
Faherty, Elda Rapson, Ethel
Takkunen, Alice Coad, Siiri
Alfalfa, Gladys Lindblad and Elaine
Anderson, skidded off the road in the
snow and grass and turned over. All
of the young ladies were more or less
shook up and several sustained more
serious injuries. Miss Faherty has
broken collar bone and Miss Coad
broken shoulder blade. The acct
dent was witnessed by the balance of
the party who were waiting for the
the second car. After extricating
the girls from the wrecked top, they
were taken to BURNSIDE Lodge where
they awaited the arrival of the phys
ician summoned by telephone. They
were later taken to, their homes and
the injured ones to the Shipman
Hospital where Misses Faherty and
Coad have been since. Miss Karlson
who was in charge of the party speaks
in glowing terms of the fortitude of
the injured ones and the dicipline
displayed by the all the girls who
rendered valuable assistance. She
also wishes to thank the people at the
Lodge for valuable assistance and for
their kindness.

believe every one should raise a few
flowers at least, all of which would
assist in identifying the City and
would attract the attention of tour

are of high cost. Great effort is
necessary to put them in good con-
dition. On the other hand the canoe
highays are all established and only
the portages need be put in good con-
dition to have great broad level traffic
lines extending to all parts of the
Forest. In the case of the hotels too
there is point worth considering
and that is with the hotels at the
Quitting points the equipment and
overhead of a medium sized hotel and
Quitting company will be handling
a guest registration equal to that of
several large hotels the majority of
whom are out in the woods in tent
and canoe. All in all, it is the log
ical and economical thing, the best
business arrangement to strive for to
make the Superior the best canoe
country in the world and it will then
have no competition and stand head
and shoulders above all others in
what it has to offer.
Duluth, st. Paul and Minneapolis
will be the gateways through which
the canoeist seeking vacation will
pass. Each city viii benefit directly
and indirectly from this tourist traffic
Ely is the threshold to this unsur-
passed canoe playground and being
the threshold will benefit far more
than the larger cities. Ely is des-
tined to become the home camp of
thousands of people seeking a Wild
erness playground of lakes and
streams in the Superior National
Forest.
