PLANNING POPPY SALE
American Legion and Aux
iliary Members Perfecting
Arrangements for Memoir
ial Day Drive.

Made in France by disabled SOL
diers of the Worlds War, and place
ed ON sale for the purpose of rails
ing funds for relief work through
out the nation, the coming drive
to sell peoples has a more dierect
meaning upon the American peo-
pie this year than ever before.
Poppy Day" has been named by
the local American Legion and
Woman's Auxiliary posts for the
week before Memorial Day, and
the American man woman and
child should see that we put it
across like we did the drives made
numerous times during the Worlds
War when the boys were at the
front and in training camps do
ing their all for the love of hui
manity. There is no doubt of the
outcome in this section, for pat
riotism is still 1000 in the hearts
of every one.
The peoples to be placed on sale
soon in Eagle River and nearby
towns are all of silk and were
made by French disabled soldiers.
To each is attached a little sticker
bearing the name and emblem of
the American Legion, to avoid
countrefeiting. The peoples are
sold to the Legion posts at cost,
without any cost for overhead, adj
vertising or distribution.
What we owe our boys and those
other soldiers who fought for de-
mocracy cannot be estimated.
Therefore when the drive is put
on buy and buy again. 1t is de-
cidedly worthy cause.

RELEASING DELEGATES

We are unable to follow the logic
by which candidates for political Of
flee can "release" delegates to vote
for some other fellow.
BY what right does a candidate be-
come possessed of the power to either
retain or release delegates? AS we
understand it delegates go to con-
vention to voice the inclinations of
those who sent them there.
Many of the candidates at the re-
cent Democratic circus in New York
made grandiose gestures in which they
released" delegates to vote for
others.
Is it not true that all delegates are
morally bound to determine in ad-
vance the wishes of those whom they
represent and to act accordingly re-
CARELESS of party bosses and the per-
sonal ambitions of Tom, Dick and
Harry candidates?
Should not every delegate go to a
convention armed with instructions
as to how he should vote in any emer-
gency?
By what fool system do states be-
come the property of this candidate
or that, to be used at will to log-roll
and barter in the interests of Tam
many, Wall street, the Khan, McAdoo,
Smith or any other candidate or inter-
est?
Maybe we are dense but we can't
see through it. Will somebody in
form us ?-Anoka Herald.

CATTLE FOOD BIG PROBLEM
importance OF Winter Fodder In Switz.
erland and Norway Cannot Be
Overestimated.

Mountain peoples depend for much
food on cows and goats. The problem
OF getting enough winter feed for the
animals is a difficult one. And so this
art of moving has been developed to
extremes. In Switzerland not a spear
OF grass escapes. Grass only three
inches high is cut thrice a year. The
Norwegian peasant gathers a small
hay harvest from the roofs of his
house and barns and from the edges
OF the road. Swiss peasants, called
whichever, meaning wild hay gather
ers, secure hay from lodges Of rocks.
The risk Is so great that the law in
places only allows one whichever to a
family.
TIE traveller in Norway frequently
sees huge bundles of hay sliding down
to valley on wires stretched from
some high precipice on ford. This
represents the harvest from isolated
spots or from the field of the summer
shepherd. The economy of vegetative
resources is caused by the necessity
of finding fodder for the six or seven
months of stall-feeding. Because of
frequent rains in Swiss regions, no
chance Is taken in drying the hay, The
farmers family keeps tossing the hay
to hurry drying.

Owls Need of Silence.

A good deal has been written, says
Professor Batten in Chambers Jour-
nal, about the feathers of the owl,
which enable him to fly with such
muffled flight that he can surprise his
quarry lurking in the grass. 1t has
often occurred to me, however, that
the silence Of the owls flight may be
to enable the bird itself to hear, rather
than to prevent others from hearing.
In his hunting, the owl is dependent
upon the minute sounds for guidance,
and anyone who has ever flown will
realize that IT would be impossible to
hear anything at all in the air unless
flight were as noiseless as it is capable
of being.

obstreperous plantain as there is in
swinging golf stick. There will be
no doubt that the physical benefit is
at least equal.
The business men who are "just as
good as they ever were," might try
swinging a scythe against some of
the tall weeds in the vacant lot next
door, merely to prove that they have
not forgotten their early days on the
farm.
For all the college girls who just
must be in the swim by being tanned
there is an easy route to perfection.
Grab the family lawn mower or the
hoe and spend an hour or so day
cutting the grass or roughing up the
ground. The sunburn will come with
out any further worry.
The person who takes care of his
own grass and flowers instead of pay
ing an outsider to do it, will reap
benefits, not alone in the knowledge
of an attractive yard, but in health
which will come with the exercise,
which is often sorely needed by the
man who spends his days at a desk.
The lawn mower and the hoe are
mightier than medicine cabinet.
Of course, the furnace will stay I'M
cleaned and the smoke pipe remain
laden with fine ash and SCOT, gather
ing moisture that will shorten the life
of the pipe, unless the householder
calls up the furnace company and
asks that a workman be sent out to
put the heating plant in order. The
other angle is that putting it off
means bother in the fall when the
furnace will be needed.

They Do 1t Again

Milwaukee Journal: 81 wouldn't
take million dollars for the expert
ence, but wouldn't do it again for a
million" One of Americas round
the-world airmen is quoted as saying
this of the adventure. But the sent
ence has come to be formula. Men
and women pick it up and say it about
adventures little and big which have
been out of the ordinary. Soldiers
said it after the war. Probably both
men who went over Niagara and
escaped said it.
What discouraging sentiment this
is! Likely to scare off those who fol-
low the pioneers. If Columbus had
said it to Isabella now? If John Paul
Jones had said it after his first fight :?
With all due credit to mans sincerity,
they don't mean it. Maybe the air.
man wouldn't try the same thing
again. But let another and newer
test of navigation of the air be pro-
posed. Will he say, 'I've done my
stunt; let someone else have his
chance Or will he pull every known
wire, urge his experience and sue
cess, be on pins and needles until he
learns that he can be in the big game
again?
Why, the world moves forward and
always has on men who did some
thing they wouldn't do again. Even
if they stopped short, there would be
others of the same fiber to take up
the quest or the fight. But they don't
stop short. The man with the spark
in him to step out is not often the
kind of man who rests content with a
single exploit. For the thrill isn't in
the achievement; it's in the daring
of fate and fortune and then hanging
on and making success come.

In Behalf of Feet

Detroit News: If the flapper gen
Grafton will permit, an orthopedic
surgeon would have word with them
concerning their feet. Something, he
says, will have to be done for fapper
feet besides building queer looking
slippers that masquerade under the
name of shoes.
"For every man that comes to me
for treatment for foot troubles" the
surgeon is quoted as saying, 'there
are ten girls"
Blame for broken arches, misplaced
bones and weak muscles is placed on
footgear that does not properly sup
port and brace the foot. Fashion
leaps from the extreme high heel to
the low heel or no heel at all. A few
fiimsy straps and a buckle or two,
says the surgeon, do not make shoe,
and much to their discontinue and
discomfort the young ladies are find
ing this out.
Chinese women gave up foot-bind-
ing years ago. They took to wear
ing shoes.
