AT DAWN

| love to wander through the woods
And DER the fields at dawn.
To watch the dew fade from the grass
And hear the robins sweetest song.
see the squirrel and chipmunk flee,
Or go scurrying through the brush.
To their homes In a nearby hollow
tree
As they do in the autumn rush.
| love to follow by the brook
And hear its rumbling sound,
As 1t dashes on the rocks
And splashes all around.
] watch the beavers leave their dams,
Where they'ye been working through
the night.
hear the bleating Of the lambs
As they come into sight,
Then follow up the winding lane
And bring the cattle home.

Livestock Hearing
Closed; Montgomery
Issues Statement

Following the adjournment on July
IS, of the hearing conducted at South
st. Paul by the United States Pack
ers and Stockyards Administration
covering charges of unfair practices
by the Central Livestock Commission
Association, j. S. Montgomery, Man
ager of the Association made the fol-
lowing statement:
"We should have been pleased to
have the case concluded without this
adjournment. We are satisfied, how
ever, that the insinuations regarding
corruption in our organization, which
have been made by some of the wit
nesses for the Minnesota Pig & Cattle
Company, and which have also been
made in publicity purporting to en-
anate from the office of the National
Livestock Exchange, have all been
fully answered to the satisfaction Of
our members and patrons"
In commenting on the testimony of
F. p. Kuehner, former office manager
of the Association, who in former
hearing had made statements reflect
ing on the character of the employees
and management of the Association,
Mr.. Montgomery said: Eve know
that Mr.. Kuehner's failure to prove
any of his former testimony after six
weeks spent in auditing our books,
will be source of great satisfaction
to our members. We feel that now
that these reports have been cleared
up we are absolutely justified in ask
ing for 100 percent support from the
producers Of the northwest"

Like the majority of thoughtful America

Like the majority of thoughtful American
citizens President Coolidge is strongly endorsing
the observance of September 18th as National
Defense Day. 81 wish crime might be abolish
ed, "said Mr.. Coolidge" but would not there
fore abolish courts and police protection. / wish
war might be made impossible but would not
leave my country unprotected meanwhile"
1t is unalterably true that "our government
is compelled to confront the realities of the
world" Of preparedness the President wrote
''there can be no doubt that failure to prepare
for the possibility of war at time when that
possibility was imminent, resulted in great hard
ship, unnecessary expense and the unjustifable
prolongation of the World war. To say this is
but to state what everybody knows"
There is far greater peril to the nation from
the non-resistance doctrine of the various groups
of paciist organizations in the land than from
any sort of celebration of National Defense
day. Those who would abolish our army and
sink our navy and destroy our coast defense guns
and forts, are but misguided allies of other ma
tions that might be our active enemies.
Professional pacifism is one of our greatest
dangers today. 1t is disease. If carried to its
logical conclusion it win lead to national impot-
ence and decay.

When the Minnesota Protective league met
in Park Rapids last week several measures of
Importance to the sportsmen of the state
taken up Chief among these is a resolution
which proposes law that will make carp sen
ing with small mesh net legal at all times OF
the year. provided the work is done in the pre-
sence of a game warden and all game fish
turned to the water. This measure would go a
long way toward cleaning southern Minnesota
waters of the carp that infest them Another
resolution adopted by the league would make
the limits of fish and game a great deal lower
than they are now. AS the law now stands il
takes an expert fisherman indeed to catch the
limit, and an expert hunter to fill the bag allowed
by the state. AS consequence our lakes and
streams are being so rapidly depleted that game
fish will soon be rare indeed. With thousands Of
tourists coming every year to fish and hunt, some
thing drastic must be done and done quickly.
Another resolution would make it unlawful to kill
a doe, or female deer. In open season only the
buck could be lawfully shot. The Game Protec
tive league is an institution that is accomplish
ing things for the good of the state and deserves
the support of all good citizens When the laws
initiated by them come up in the legislature
cry effort should be made to support them. 1t
means much for the future of the state.-Win
dom Citizen.

SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Sometimes long for lazy isle,
Ten thousand miles from home,
Where the warm sun shines and the blue SIX,
smiles,
And the milk-white breakers foam
A coral island, bravely set
In the midst of the southern sea
Away from the hurry and noise and fret
Forever surrounding me!
For / tire of labor and care and fight,
And I weary of plan and scheme,
And ever and ever my thoughts take fight
To the island of my dream,
And fancy browsing the whole day long
In hammock that gently swings
Away from the clamorous toling throng,
Away from the swirl of things!
And yet know in little while,
When the first glad hours spent,
I'd scken and tire of my lazy isle
And cease to be content!
I'd hear the call of the worlds great game
The battle with gold and mem
And I'd sail once more, with heart of flame!
Back to the game again!

When one stops to consider that the Repub-

the state it's tonnage tax iron ore, its 'lrai

are the best of any state in the union, its work

When you hire a workman and he promises
to come on a certain date, then he goes off and
takes several other jobs and comes just about
three weeks or four or ten after he has promised
he would, what do you do? You just naturally
and quietly take that man off your calling list.
don't you; and the next time you need piece Of
work done, you take pains to employ someone
who will come within a mile or two of keeping
his or her word. Don't you do that? Well say
you do! So do we! There are many reasons
for people not being employed and laxity in this
matter of keeping promises is one of them

Talk about political bosses! La Toilette has
any thing that ever lived backed clean off the
boards in this respect. He picks his own state
committees after having nominated himself and
selected his own running mate. Why, he even
excluded his erstwhile henchman Paul Dehnel
from the meeting in Minneapolis last week. For
one who is first, last and all the time for rule by
the common people, the Wisconsin gentleman
is just the least bit high handed. Those who are
left out shouldn't feel too hurt however; the
campaign can't be whole lot of fun nor allow
of much chance to show personality 1t is
La Follette's personality that is to be shown!

"From this time on, dismissal without OPP
portunity of appeal will be the penalty imposed
on any man found to have the oder of beer, wine
or other liquor on his breath or to have intoxi-
cants on his person in his house" reads the
order by Henry Ford to his employees. The ar
bitrariness of the thing is positively startling
What Mr.. Ford does in the way of restricting the
use of liquor about his factories and in his Of
fees is entirely within his own jurisdiction, but
even the most prohbtive- minded prohibitionef
will be reluctant to grant him the right to enter
his employees homes with his orders. Such
proclamation is un-American in its very essence
The fact that it is for a good cause cannot ex
cuse it's falseness to the word-old principle that
"man's house is his castle" Mr.. Ford over
steps seriously when he relegates to himself that
search right which only officials of the law should
have.

Remaining Lakes

Minnesota has too many Mud,
"Rice," Round" and Long" lakes.
This is the opinion of V. E. Will
lard, state drainage engineer, who
is planning to have the Lakes asso-
citation cooperate with his department
in eliminating the confusion of names.
Some time in the near future a
bulletin will be published showing the
location and areas of all the lakes.
In the meantime it has been discover
ed that only about 60 per cent of the
lakes of Minnesota have name. of
any kind.
A reference of the list of lakes al
ready compiled shows there are 81
Mud" 60 "Rice," Ga Long" and 80
Round" Lakes in the state.
The names given to many of the
lakes do not furnish any individual
Identification, according to Mr.. Will
lard, who says that Minnesota has
reached a stage in her career when
the lakes should be given more signi-
ficant names.
He suggests that Indian names,
like Kabetogema, Okananpedan,
Nemekan, and Winnibigoshish, which
are easily identified as samples of
what the Ten Thousand Lakes asso-
citation and other organizations could
do toward remaining some of the
lakes.
That the lakes need remaining there
is little doubt Much of the charm
of the Adirondacks is found in. the
Indian names of their lakes. People
like to return to their homes and tell
of the fine fishing in some lake with
wild sounding name. But it takes
all the kick out of it to tell your fri
ends that you have been up at Mud
Lake, Minnesota, for your vacation.
There is a lake in northern Mime
sofa called dead Fish Lake." Attrac-
tive sounding name, isn't it?
One of the prettiest lakes around
Park Rapids is called Potato Lake.
Where does the romance lie in such
a name? Does potato suggest any
thing romantic or Indian like or sug-
gestive Of big forests-or of big fish ?
The vast number of Long, Round,
Bass, Mud and Rice lakes also tends
to confuse the tourist. He asks the
Ten Thousand Lakes Association how
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1924-08-13

to get to 'Long Lake" or "Rice Lake"
and even when he knows the nearest
town, there.
Wisconsin has discovered the po-
pularity hidden in an Indian name, or
in one which suggests forests and
clear waters, Indians, birch bark
canoes and all the other things which
go to make up the north woods.
Mr.. Willard has started a great
work. 1t merits the energetic sup
port of every community in Mime
sofa.
