young Kentucky girl, owner of a rae

the soldier dead as we'll as joy to
the living. The figures as to the
number of Legion posts in the state
are not at hand but this fund
would furnish $4,000 each for 500
or $4,000 each for $50 posts. A
scheme of this kind looks far more
reasonable than the erection of a
shaft in St. Paul and which would
only serve to beautify the capitol
grounds and perhaps never would
be seen by two-thirds of the citizens
of the state. The legislature can
make themselves solid with the
home town soldiers by dividing the
shaft" fund among the Legion
posts of the state and thus helping
to solve the community cent er
puzzles of the majority of the
states cities and towns besides
assisting materially in identifying
these places yet furnishing a
p.actical and lasting memorial for
the soldier dead. Frank Lozar Post
of this city has a small start for a
memorial in its treasury. With
their share of this "shaft" fund in
case it would be thus divided, the
post would be sitting pretty and
could build a memorial in the shape
of a meeting room and club house
which would be an honor to the
city and the post members and q

ANOTHER ROAD OPINION.

eff plans materialize for the
construction of road from Ely to
Gunflint lake, and public highway
is built through this stretch of
wilderness, Minnesota will lose its
only area of primeval forest, and
the moose and caribou which now
claims this bit of wilderness as
their home, will migrate to Canada,
forever lost to the state" d. LANCE,
president of the Minnesota Forestry
association, declares.
ga move has been started to
build road through this stretch of
primitive forest to connect Ely and
Gunfiint lake. where travel could
continue it's course over roads lead
ing to Grand Marais, and thence in
to the more thickly settled parts
of the state. A preliminary survey
has been completed, but no actual
work of construction started.
Outdoor sports enthusiasts, and
foresters all over the nation are
against any move which would de-
stroy this natural beauty spot, in
the far reaches of the state, and
would bring the stream of civiliza
ton which would follow in the
wake of road building.
''The territory comprises humid
reds of thousands of acres of print
tive forest lands, and is the only
place in the United States, where
moose and caribou can be found N
large numbers. The tract is locat-
ed in Cook and Lake counties.
"The only means of travel in
this region is the canoe and the dog
train, but due to the fact that
there are no settlers in this domain
of the wild the need of road
has not been felt. 1t is easily ac-
cessible to automobiles who can
drive up to the very portals of this
virgin region and then can revel
in canoe trips, which carry them
through a forest, never spoiled by
the lumberman's ak.

COST OF GOVERNMENT

William P. Helm, Jr., who delves
into statistics for the National Bud
get Committee, tells us that nearly
eight and one-half billion dollars
are spent every year in governing
the United States.
In round figures, there are forty
millions of workers in the country
having a gross income of $50, O00,-
100000. This means that the bur-
den of government on every man
and woman in business or profes-
sional life, including the 2,OOO,O0O
persons on the public payrolls
stands at 1920 per head annually.
Surely, if this fact were driven
home there would be deeper civic
pride manifest among our thought
less and spendthrift people.
If the annual governmental eX-
penditure was paid in labor instead
of in money, every worker in the
United States would be giving up
as his or her share more than seven
weeks of work every year.
The cost of government becomes
staggering when closely considered.
The number of public servants in
the United States is greater than
the number of all the military
forces we sent abroad for the world
war. If their salaries had to be
paid in gold It would requice all
the gold IN tn, world to meet the
BIZ. for E single year.
Counting the average family as
five persons, the actual cost of gov
eminent is about $400 per family
per year. All of which comes as
result of lack of interest in pub
lie affairs. The situation is sad
reflection on the intelligent under
standing of businesslike people.

A FEW TIMELY HELPS.

To prevent a bowl from whirling
all over the table when you are stir
ring with one hand and adding
some ingredient with the other, lay
a towel folded into double thickness
under the bowl This saves time
and temper.
If your boiling frosting seems in
clined to run, place the bowl of
frosting in basin of hot water and
allow water to boil around the bowl
for five minutes, stirring constantly.
When stewing prunes add a slice
of lemon and a few whole cloves
1t is a decided Improvement.
To prevent salt becoming damp
in the shaker, mix well one tea
spoonful of cornstarch with one
cup of salt. Put into shakers and
you will always have dry salt.
To remove fresh coffee stains
from table linen, dampen cloth
with cold water and rub gently.
One of two applications will usually
be sufficient. This can often be
done without leaving the table.
Hold tomatoes over the gas flame
for a few seconds and the skin will
come off without heating the 20
mato.
When baking angel-cake do not
use a cake-pan that has ever been
CREASED, and do not remove it from
the pan until about two hours after
it is done. 1t can then be taken
out very easily.
After peeling onions, rub little
dry mustar on the hands, rinse
with cold water and all onion odor

Several of the papers and clubs
of the state are expressing opinions
and passing resolutions on the
charges made against State Game
and Fish Commissioner Carlos Avery
and the conduct of his/office. These
resolutions and opinions are just a
little premature. Mr.. Avery has
the benefit of the doubt until he is
proven guilty and this benefit
should be respected. He has made
many friends throughout the state
since he assumed the Office of state
game and fish commissioner and
also has been censured. Both sides
have a right to express their opin-
ions at the hearing to be conducted
by a special committee.
