ed, after flying with an aeroplane ov-
er Lake and St. Louis county fire dis
tricts this morning. Markham, White
Face and Central Lake, small settle

10 miles long and 10 miles wide, and
there are other fires near Duluth, Eve
leth and Wubek. "The situation is
Serious" he said. "We have 1900
men in there now fighting the flames
with a "a mile wind and no promise
of rain within SO hours" Ranger
Gibbs expects to leave here shortly
after noon and tour the districts to
the south and southeast Of Duluth and
in the Markham districts. Lumber
mills at Cloque have been closed down
and the men sent into the woods to
fight the fires.

Saturday afternoon we noticed the
city street sprinkler going down Main
street. The center parking space was
filled with cars, many of them new
cars that had been well kept. The
driver of the sprinkler went down the
street with the water turned on full
force, showering every car parked
there with liberal spray. We won
der if the driver ever considered how
much work he made for the drivers
of these cars? Of course, it would
MT hurt an old car or one that had
not been we'll kept but every drop OF
water that struck a new car would
leave spot on the finish of the car
unless the driver washed the car of
at once. The street could have been
sprinkled just as well with a much
smaller stream of water, the car own.
ers would have been saved consider
able needless work and the city would
have been saved a good proportion Of
the water used.

Several of our business men are

Sunday night and got away with a
few things but no cash. They climb
ed through a window in the root
which was easy. Some of Jack Thorn
sons tools were found in the Occi.
dent Elevator by Jack Laird, and
some of Jack Laird's tools were
found in the Thompson Yards office
and Ben Grotte, manager of the
Thompson Yards is accusing both
Jack Thomson and Jack Laird of bur-
glarizing his Office, and neither of the
other fellows can prove an alibi -
their tools have been found in these
other places which fastens strong
degree of suspicion upon them. Mr.
Grotte has not decided whether t.
have them pulled or not but knowing
that they are citizens of splendid
character it is probable that nothing
will be done about it. The boys are
having a lot of fun out Of this pecul-
lar happenstance.

lTPAYS TO GIVE
CHILDREN MILK
1t Pays To Help All Children To
Have Milk.

: A survey of $4,000 children in $50
schools in Los Angeles, Calf, con-
Quoted by Dr.. Everett C. Beach, Sup
ervisor of the Dept. Of Physical Edu-
cation, showed that the children who
drink milk literally complete the
eight grades of school work two years
younger than children that do not
drink milk.
DR.. Beach also found the milk US
ing children far superior in athletic
contests to those not using milk.
The true significance of the Los
Angeles school survey is to be found
in the heavy financial burden upon tax
payers caused by the large number of
retarded children.
Milk helps your children to grow
it supplies building material for the
bones, teeth and muscles. 1t has a
growing force which makes weak bod
les grow into strong ones.
! What proof have we that milk has
good growing material for our boys
and girls?
1t is almost the only food the ma
)ority of children get for the first nine
months of their lives, yet they live on
it, they grow on it, they do their work
of kicking, playing and crying on it.
The undernourished child is incap-
able of resisting disease or Withstand
ing it's onset or process. Let an IN
fectious disease such as measles,
whooping cough, scarlet-fever, etc.,
attack a neighborhood and the differ
ence between the we'll nourished child
and the malnourished child at once
appears. The child in the fine physi-
cal condition may not escape the dis
ease; but if he does contract it he has
more vigor to withstand the attack
and his recovery is usually rapid. The
undernourished child, on the other
hand. usually takes the disease, has a
more serious case, and RECEIVERS with
greater difficulty, if at all.
The susceptibility of the undernour-
lished child to disease, endangers the
health of the healthy child in school
as we'll as at home.
Milk will not cure diseased tonsils,
decayed teeth, adenoids, ETC., but it
will correct certain conditions which
have been caused by the absence Of
food principles contained in the most
available form in milk.
1t most assuredly will pay to have
your cooperation in making this milk
campaign for our school children a
glorious success.

TARIFF BILL FACES
ANOTHER BIG BATTLE

Washington, D. c., Aug. Fl. - The
Fordney-McCumber tariff bill passed
by the senate after a political battle
of four months faced another big fight
as the senate conference committee OF
the senate and the house went into
session today. Powerful groups IN
both houses are lining up for the nm
ish fight as to whether the measure
shall be passed on foreign or Amer
lean valuation of imports. The repub-
lican faction in the senate are lining
IN behind the American valuation
system which was adopted by the
house in contrast to the foreign valu-
alton as approved by the majority OF
the senate. The big battle, SAID Sen
ator Obey, of Nevada, a leading men,
Der of the senate farm bloc, will be
over the question of American or TOR
eign valuation. The sentiment for the
American valuation as increased and
is particularly strong among the So
called farm tariff bloc members.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
FRANK McCLAFFLM

On Tuesday evening at about $3.50
Frank McClafflin, who lived on the
Walter Coop farm in Noltimier town.
ship, was unloading load of hay at
his barn. A young fellow was assist
ing him, Mr.. McClafflin pitching the
hay into the NOW and the young fell
low stacking it away. Mr.. McClafflin
told the young fellow that he was not
feeling very well and that he would
stack the hay back and they exchang-
ed places. Mr.. McClafflin suddenly
fell over. He was picked up and taken
to the house but was dead before he
was gotten to the house. 1t is thought
that the extreme heat coupled with
heart trouble was the direct cause of
his death.
Mr.. McClafflin was sixty-seven
years of age and was we'll known in
the county. He leaves large family
to mourn his loss. Funeral services
will be conducted at 200 o'clock to-

KIWANIS NOTES

Kiwanis met yesterday at the usual
hour and place. President 7. Melvin
Lee, who has been away for some
time, was back in the chair. Nello
Smith of the Russel-Miller Milling
Company was the chairman of the
day. He offered as the attendance
prize a bag of the manufactured pro-
duct turned out by the mill. DR.,
Zimmerman was the fortunate one
and walked away with the bag. The
speaker Of the day was the chairman
himself. He read very interesting
paper on the beginning and develop
ment of the Russell-Miller Milling Co.,
and particularly the story Of Occi-
dent. The first mill was built in VAL
ley City, and the first barrel of Occi-
dent flour, which is now sold in al
most all parts of the world, was made
in that mill. The first mill produced
only about two hundred barrels daily,
while today the daily output is over
$4,000 barrels, which gives some idea
of the wonderful growth of the COM
pany. Besides owning large num-
Der of mills, the largest Of which is
located in Minneapolis, the company
owns one hundred and forty grain
elevators throughout the northwest:
affording a total storage capacity of
more than nine million bushels of
grain. Four million bushels of wheat
can be stored in the large elevator in
Minneapolis, which grain is made into
flour and it's by-products in the COM
pany's mill in the same city, Some
time was given to the practice OF the
songs to use at the convention next
week. Those who are going to Grand
Forks will meet at the luncheon hour
next Monday to arrange the final de-
tails of the trip. Sixteen have thus
far signifed their intention of attend
ing the convention.

Mrs. Jennie Sharples, national field
secretary of the Worlds Purity Fed
Grafton, gave stirring address Sun
day evening at the high school gym
nasium on the subject "The Greatest
Curse of Our N ation." 1t was un-
ion service of several Of the city
churches but there was not the audi
ence present that should have been
there or what the address deserved,
because it was clean-cut fearless ar
raignment of the spread of vice in all
its forms that is now sweeping this
country and which the society which
she represents is trying to stamp out
Mrs. Sharples did not mince matters
and handed the church members some
thoughts to think about that must
have made deep impression on them.
She contended that any church men,
Der who played cards, smoked, dane
ed or INDUCED in any of those things
was toward the downfall of the boy
or girl, was setting very poor ex-
ample to the younger generation.
Mrs. Sharples dwelt mostly on the
growth of white slavery in this coun-
try and gave some awful pictures OF
the traffic of young girls in this coun-
try by men and women who made the
ruination of young girls this bust
ness, citing case after case coming to
her personal notice where young girls
had been sold into slavery - white
slavery - just like slaves in slavery
days. Mrs. Sharples is to speak IN
the Methodist church tonight to wo-
men only and all women are invited
to be present.

bring about peace in the coal indus
try and the transportation systems,
declaring that he was resolved to use
all the powers of the government to
maintain the transportation and sus-
tain the right Of men to work. The
President recommended that a provi-
sion for temporary national coal
agency with necessary capital to pur-
chase coal which will be sent to the
shippers, he said. Such an agency
might not be needed but would be an
instrument to aid the public interests
where private consciousness is insen-
sible to the public need. The railroad
labor board, the President said, must
be given powers to enforce their de-
crees against both capital and labor
but did not ask the revision of the
law at this time as such action would
not be helpful in the present threat
ened paralysis of transportation.
Harding, after referring to the de-
terioration of the railroad equipment,
allotted to the shippers because Of
the railroad boards inability to en-
force their DEGREES, stated that it was
not his plan to ask congress to deal
with the fundamental problems of the
twin strike situation. The President
continued, "There is now no existing
law by which to settle the present dis
pute but there are statutes prohibit
ing the conspiracy to hinder interstate
commerce" he said. ''There are laws
insuring the highest possible safety
in railrosd service and it is my pur-
pose to invoke these laws, both civil
, and criminal actions of both offenders
alike" He emphatically declared dis
approval of the move on the part of
some classes of industry to destroy
the unions. The President declared
that it was to the public interests to
preserve the unions and to profit by
the good of the unions.
Outstanding points in the Presi-
dents message on the coal and rail
strike situation are: Declaration that
the executive is resolved to maintain
trans ortation and protect the right
of men to work. Immediate creation
of federal coal agency with big revolv-
ing funds to purcha Sc huge amount
of coal for interstate shipments in an
effort to check profiteering. Estab-
lishment of a federal coal commission
to make complete investigation into
the coal industry and to prevent fur
Their coal strikes in April. New leg
lislation later to give the railroad la
Dor board power to enforce thier de-
crees. To give the federal govern
ment power to punish those persons
responsible for such outbreaks as the
Herrin "butchery." This will give the
federal government right to protect
the aliens. Warning that the law
against the restraining of interstate
commerce which must be strictly en-
forced. Denunciation Of the move on
the part of some of the employers to
crush the unions. The deterioration
of the locomotives not in compliance
with the requirements of the lines
and the threatening breakdown of the
transportation systems.
