AT the close of the world war,
three Of the most powerful men on
earth met in Paris and wrote the
treaty of Versailles announcing glo-
riously to the world that they had
arranged the instrument and scheme
which would guarantee world peace
and settle all racial and national ques-
tons. They were SO full Of opinion
of their ability to lay down the prin-
ciples and laws and conditions that
would insure peace, tranquility and
prosperity that they did not mention
the word, will or law of God in this
great document, which left the docu-
ment so human and weak that before
the ink was dry war broke out, which
shows the futility Of the attempt Of
man to settle world questions with
out God, and Gods ways Of settling
them.
The world in its wisdom has tried
many scheme for the maintenance
Of peace and happiness, all Of which
have ANONYMOUSLY failed except the
fundamental principles announced by
the Man Of GaIlilee. His dictum IS
that love is the law of life and is the
panacea for all human ills and social
order"

Anyone who was present at the little closing
program of the Vacation Bible School last Friday
night, realizes what splendid and wonderful
work DR.. Ross and his helpers have done for this
community The children of the school sang
hymns, told Bible stories and repeated Bible
verses which they have learned during the past
five weeks, and this in itself would make the
school vastly worth while. Along with this
there were other features which showed how very
profitable, mentally and spiritually these few
weeks have been. At the close of the program
DR.. Ross very simply stated that the time had
come for the churches of the community to CO.
operate with the Presbyterian Church in which
the school has been held for the past three yaca-
tions; time for the people to unite that the scope
of the work may be increased to meet the
needs It is real charge which he has laid
upon the sui of every thinking person of the
community. DR.. Ross has started splendid
work among us; there is no better way of show
ing our appreciation for it than to continue
through the future the vacation schools in his
name and with the same steadfasters of pur-
pose which his work has exemplifed.

Gunnar B. Bjornson, that old political wa
horse who has seen so many politicians come al
go-and helped so many of them in their e.
frances and exts-wrote one of the best resume
of existing conditions we have yet read, tn
article appearing in Mr.. Bjornson's paper, tt
Minneota Mascot. In the issue following Il
special election. The article closes with the.
two succinct paragraphs:
"The hour was pregnant with opport-
unities for such doctrine and the day
was won, not because of the merit of
the cause that prevailed but because
the Republicans of the state failed in two
important particulars One was that they
did not come out to vote as generally as
they should and the other was that
many of them, and that even the leaders,
failed to take decided stand for the
man and the principles they protested
to espouse
eff there is any lesson to be learned
from this election it is that con-
Germs the Republicans That party has
to come back to aggressive, clear-cut
principles and it's friends and leaders
will have to stand for those principles.
This may be trite but it's true"

Good for Judge A. B. Gisason of Minneota
He recently refused to allow railroad personal
injury case to be brought from Wisconsin into
Lyon county. He ordered the action stricken
from the calendar saying that since all the par
ties lived in Milwaukee, the case should be tried
there. A year ago Milwaukee case took up
whole week of time during the district court ses-
sion in Renville county and local people who
had important cases to be tried had to wait over
until the next term. Renville county had the
reputation of being radical and the personal in
jury attorneys for the plaintiff reasoned that
their chance to win better here than else
where. That is why the was brought here.

Last year Senator Brookhart campaigned
the state for his job and hoodooed the farmers
into believing that high freight rates were the
cause of their troubles and the main reason why
corn was only twenty-five cents bushel. Less
than year has elapsed and the farmers can get
about seventy cents a bushel for their corn in
any Of the local stations and the freight rate is
just the same as it was year ago. Will the
senator please explain to the farmers-those that
were hoodwinked-the others know that he was

There's been a lot of rain today,
But where my garden shines
hear the merry chucking
OF the watermelon vines.
There's been lot of WEAKNESS
Along the noisy street,
But can dream Of home-bound joys
And rest for tired feet.
Some folks have acted mean today
But can dream and see
A little youngsters smiling face
That waits to welcome me.
The stony ways of life are hard,
But as / plOd along

My rapture with song.

And now third party has started, this party

but it isn't enough to start political party on
The destructiOnists, obstructionists and oppor-

faction have not caught the vision-many of them
are hoping to personally benefit from the pre-

cannot father any permanent good. The Third

Address

reinforced by an escort of a corporal
and nine men, under the command OF
Lieutenant Martin Scott. Major Long
also succeeded in securing the ser
vices of Augustin Rogue, French
half-breed interpreter, from wnom
they expected to gain an insight IN
to Indian manners and customs,
which would otherwise be impossible.
But they were disappointed IN the
man. whose high reputation for IN
telligence, Heating remarks, was en-,
tirelv undeserved. He contributed
| but little, and left the party at Fort
st. Anthony.
/ Long and Colhoun, with three 9TH
ers, proceeded to Fort st Anthony
on horseback, under the guidance OF
a Sioux Indian. The remainder OF
the party journeyed in light oar
barge with a sail.
At Red Wings Village
The land party, after an extremely
arduous journey, up hill and down
valley through treacherous swamps in
which they frequently became mired
and through dense forests, arrived
at the fort on July 2. They had
reached Wabasha's village below
Lake Pepin on June %, and Red
Wings village on June 80. At the
former they were greeted by host
of yelping dogs which rushed at
them as they approached At Red
Wings village, Long found an Indian
called "The Shooter from the Pine
/ Top" who had accompanied him on
travels through a part of this region
six years previously. 1t was on
this previous trip that Long had Sc
lected the site for Fort ST. Anthony,
now Fort Smelling. At Red Wing S
village a solemn council was held at
which Long carefully explained to
the Indians the objects of his ex-
petition. The redmen were favor
ably impressed and agreed to help
the whites in their enterprise. A map
showing the features of the country
roundabouts produced a great effect
on the Indians, who saw something
supernatural in the fact that so much
| information about river, lake, etc.
could be preserved on paper or parch-
ment.
The trip to Fort st. Anthony was
made in seven days and a half, which
was considered the shortest length of
time in which it had ever been made.
The reunited party remained at
the fort for a few days, enabling
Heating to see all parts of the es-
Establishment. A careful description
of it is preserved for us in his mar
rative. "The quarters are well-built
and comfortable" he writes; "those
of the commanding officers are even
elegant, and suitable for the prin-
oipal military post of the northwest.
There were, at the time we visited
it. about two hundred and ten acres
of land under cultivation, of which
one hundred were in wheat, sixty in
maize, fifteen in oats, fourteen in
potatoes, and twenty in gardens,
which supply the table of the officers
and men with an abundant supply
of wholesome vegetables"
Measure St. Anthony Falls
On July the party walked to the
Falls of st. Anthony, of which Keat-
ing writes that they had seen few
falls which present wilder and
more picturesque aspect" They had
been told that the river might be
forded here and consequently they
determined to make the attempt to
cross above the falls. They all sue
ceeded in reaching the island above
the falls and two of the party reach

Occasionally the Dearborn Independent d.
re the world some mighty good stuff althou
stly it doesn't. In the issue of July Fl was
nix on Tobacco, Tombstones and Profits. FIR
we quote these paragraphs concerning the
It's tobacco has had upon prominent men.
"What killed General Grant? Why, of
course you know-cancer. But what
caused the cancer in his throat? Do you
know? Smoking caused it. General Lee
could not get Grant, but tobacco got him.
"What killed President Mckinley? An
assassins bullet, you say. Fartly right
and partly wrong. Mckinley was shot,
but this would need not have proved fatal.
Thousands of men, hurt worse, have sur
vived. But they had good hearts. When
a great strain comes, strong hearts are
necessary to bring the sufferers through
alive. Mckinley, when he was born, had
a strong heart, but the tobacco habit got
him and left his heart muscles soft and
fiabby. When Mckinley had need of
strong heart he went down because he
had nothing to keep him up He had
smoked up his most vital strength.
Woodrow Wilson when old was seized
by an ailment that brought him almost
to the point of death. For hours he was
unconscious and for weeks his physicians
could not say whether he would live
or die. He had need of a good heart.
In his hour of need he had good heart
If Mr.. Wilson had been smoker, Mr..
Marshall might have been President
'In the African jungle, Theodore
Roosevelt was stricken with such fever
that he begged his son and other COM
panions to save themselves by leaving
him to die. He, too, had need of strong
heart-and he had one. Mr.. Roosevelt
never used tobacco. His African illness
was SO serious that he returned to AM
erica emaciated and shaken, but he at
least had the heart-power to enable him
to get back.
"But the case for or against tobacco
cannot be conclusively proved by what
happened to this or that man. The point
/ am trying to make is that when the
pinch comes everyone has need of all the
heart-power he can muster-and tobacco
weakens heart-power. There is no doubt
about that. When ones heart is falter-
ing, no doctor ever prescribes nicotine.
Nicotine is a slow poison that strikes
at the heart first" To prove that tobac-
co is an economic as well as physical
menace Mr.. Burbank elucidates state
ment which is rather startling; eff the
money that American people are vast
ing for tobacco were invested in homes,
every man and woman could have home
free of debt before reaching the age of
fifty" Look up copy of the Indepen-
dent and read the article-it will repay
you.

APRIL 6 ARBOR DAY

Announcement is made from the
Governors Office that he will designate
Friday, April 6, as Arbor Day This
is an annual festival, and observed
throughout the State of Maryland
particularly in the public schools, a
day set aside for the planting of trees
and for exercises in recognition of the
value of trees and forests to the COM
munity and to the nation.
Those who wish special information
about Arbor Day and it's observance
may secure full particulars from the
State Forestry Department, S15 Cal
vert Building, Baltimore, as to suita-
BILE exercises for the occasion, trees
adapted for planting, how they should
be planted, where to plant them, and
their proper care.
The Department does not furnish
free trees, but will give the names
and addresses of nurseries from which
they may be obtained.
Preparations, already under way,
indicate that Arbor Day, 1923, will be
more largely observed, and more trees
planted than in any previous day in
Maryland history.
