especially those who live in the north
ern district, and who had this year
passed through two wonderful con-
ventions in Chicago. Attention was
called BY Mrs. Eva Monroe, Past
President, to the fact that the north
ern district presidents and past pres
idents were not on any of the impor-
tant committees, while all Of the same
officers of the southern and central
districts were on said committees; in
some cases the same women on sew

president should not be blamed. The
people alone are responsible for ar
bitrary ruling and injustice In most
cases any one who takes issue be-
comes unpopular We must awaken.
The Illinois Federation could not
help being proud Of winning second
place in the National Scholarship
contest. 1t is to be hoped that the

even more delegates may attend. Mrs.
Irene Coins was elected President;
Mrs. Anna Dorsy. Vice President;
Mrs. Roach. Chairman Of Executive
Board and Mrs. Ada Davis, Organ

Women Outnumber Men

In the Babuyan islands, recently dis

earthquakes, a very large portion Of
the population is composed of women.
Fishing is the principal pursuit Of the
men in the islands and the frequent
typhOons are fatal for the frail fishing
craft, which accounts for the greater
proportion Of females among the in

CITIZENS MILITARY TRAINING
CAMPS THIS YEAR.

The Citizens Military Training
Camps for the Seventh Corps Area,
to which young men between the
ages of II and "a years are eligible,
will be held this year, August 100,
inclusive, at Fort Smelling, Mimi,
Fort Des Moines, Ia, and Fort
Leavenworth, Kans. Accepted ap-
plicants from North Dakota, South
Dakota and Minnesota will be sent
to Fort Smelling; from Nebraska,
Iowa and the counties north of the
Missouri River in Missouri to Fort
Des Moines, and from Kansas,
Arkansas, and counties south of the
Missouri River in Missouri to Fort
Leavenworth.
The object of these camps is to
bring together young men of high
type from all sections of tn. coun-
try on a common basis of equality
and under the most favorable con-
ditions of outdoor life; to stimulate
and promote citizenship patriotism,
and Americanism; and through ex-
pert physical direction, athletic
coaching, and military training, to
benefit the young men Individually
and bring them to realize obliga-
tions to their country.
The government will provide free
to young men attending these camps
railroad fare, uniforms, food, lodg-1
ing laundry and medical and dental
attendance while at camp. Each
candidate may either pay his own

parcel post accounts for but a
small per cent of the postoffice de-
partment's receipts. If increased
rates are necessary, we believe that
all users of the service should foot
the bill. 1t is rank injustice to ask
farmers, who pay almost all the
parcel post charges, to stand this
burden alone" says j. F. Reed,
president of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation. This is new
one on us. We always were under
the impression that the parcel post
was established to give the consum-
err better transportation rates to en-
able him to deal with the producer
direct. The mail clerks are asking
for increased wages and in order to
give them the increase Congress is
figuring on revising the parcel post
and second class mailing rates. The
mail people need the increase being
about the poorest paid government
employees, and it must also be said
parcel post and second class mail is
at present too high. AS suggest
i've, we would say: Recall "Hell
and Mariah" Dawes from Europe
and give him a pruning hook with
which to lop off several hundred use
less branches from the government
plum tree. This would care for
the increase in the wages of mail
employees very nicely and besides
leave little surplus.

1t is still possible for the board
of county commissioners to bring
peace into its big family by decid-
ing to pave both the Iron Junction
road and the Forbes cutoff. The
prospect in sight is that of a fight
amongst ourselves that will deprive
US of any paved road to connect up
with the Miller trunk highway, and
that isn't very pleasant thing to
contemplate.-Hibbing News.
An easier way out for the COM
missioners and save a scrap is to
ignore the paving program of this
duplicate road entirely and instead
pave the % miles between Ely and
Tower and thus facilitate the COM
pletion of No. 35 through all the
range towns.

Opportunity for the practice of
genuine thrift, absolutely apart
from parsimony, is pointed to by
fire loss statistics. 1t is national
maxim of China that that which is
burned up is lost forever. 1t is
shown that in one year there was
a fire loss of 100000 of
property in the United States. By
far the great majority of fires are
preventable. Half billion of per-
fectly good dollars is handsome
enough sum to command anybody's
attention, and it is a deplorable
thing to think of it's being wasted
in fire loss. That sort of loss is alb
solute. Nor is the situation made bet
ter by the reflection that property
losses are so frequently accompanied
by grievious and costly loss of life;
as we'll as suffering caused by in
evitable accidents and burns that
! stop short of taking life outright.
What is happening every day in the
fire menace and waste, shows clear
ly enough that we are still a very
long way from indulgence over
cautiousness against fire. There
are opportunities in the situation for
all to contribute towards reducing
these calamitous losses, and practic-
ing kind of thrift that is indeed
worth while. That half billion
could be put to infinitely better use ;
but not to worse.

The value of large interconnected
or superpower transmission systems
to communities was demonstrated in
Oklahoma recently, when turbine
at the Oklahoma City power plant of
the Oklahoma Gas and Electric Com
pany was out of commission tenn
porarily. For a period of nearly a
half-hour, while the turbine was be-
ing repaired, Oklahoma City was
supplied with electric energy gener-
ated $50 miles away, at the Musko-
gee plant of the company. Develop
ment of the modern plan of ex-
tensive interconnected transmission
systems brings the service of distant
power plants to communities on the
lines that may be shut off from
local power sources through storms
or accidents.

St. Paul, our capitol city, is just
now in the heat of a spirited polit-
ical battle for city officials. The
rank and file of voters are divided
factionally on Arthur E. Nelson
and George L. Siegel for mayor
and councilmen representing the
two factions. Nelson has been may
or for the past two years and has
given the city business and pro-
gressive administration. Siegel is
the fellow who coined the phrase
"The Booster is Americas most
wasteful citizen" in one of his adj
dresses and this is taken to mean
by the larger part of St. PauPs
citizens, as a direct slap at the en-
terprising people who have worked
for the establishment of local indus
tries and thus furnishing employ
ment to thousands of additional lab
oring men. Siegel is also fresh in
the memory of those who attended
the legislative hearing few years
ago wherein the l. w. W. played a
prominent part and wherein Siegel
appeared as the guardian angel for
the unsavory outfit. The st. Paul
ssuabble looks to US from this dis
lance as a test between those who
wish to turn the country over to
the l. w. w. and the Russian Soviet
system with Siegel as the head and
tall and the principles of Ameri-
canism as demonstrated by Mayor
Nelson and his followers. r.

For Is years the case of Harry
X. Thaw has been before the courts
on one thing and another and a
mint of money has been spent in
his behalf. Convicted Is years ago
of numbering Stanford White he
evaded the electric chair by high
priced special testimony proving
him insane. Alienists said he was
insane. Then came fight to prove
him sane and restore him to liberty.
His cruel assault on boy consid-
erably retarded this proceeding and
he again was confined in hospital
for the insane. He has been there
since 1917. Now a jury has de-
clared him sane and what the next
move will be is hard to determine.
The lengthy fight by his relatives
has clearly shown that expert testi-
mony is a good deal of a farce says
the Minneapolis Journal and the
efficacy of the insanity plea in GRIM
inal procedure has been weakened.

1t is to be hoped that the city or
dinance and the state laws regard
ing the running at large of cattle
will be enforced this year. There
is absolutely no excuse for pasturing
cattle on city boulevards and other
peoples gardens. Neither can any
one be compelled to build high
priced fences to protect them from
their neighbours cattle. Cattle own
ers are compelled to keep their
stock from running at large and it
is up to them to either herd the cat
tie or build fences to restrain them.
