However Independent they may
seem, my friend, modern girls,
like all girls OF every period,
Are really far from independent
when 1t comes to enjoyment of
the companionship Of men.
Girls enjoy going about with
young men and look forward
hopefully to love and marriage.
Why do you not interest your.
self in the activities Of the near.

Can you not in this way grad

kind of girls you wish to have

Another way to meet congenlal
friends is to join a class con.

there. Isn't that it?"
Bobbie nodded, and the widow
laughed.

be SO serious about such a thing,
Bobbie," she said. ''You seem so
sensible. / can't imagine your
being a movie Queen-I can't
even imagine your wanting to go

Bobbie tossed her yellow head.

ashamed to say so!' she declared.

TIIE golden opportunity to cure
4 consumption and the ma
jority of all cases are cured--is in
its very early stages. 1t is Of
the highest importance therefore
that you. should know the very
earliest symptoms that will JUS
tify your suspicion that the dis
ease exists.
1t is, however, important first
to bear in mind that consumption
is due to the work of a germ, but
it is not the result of infection by
the germ only. Eight our Of ten
people habitually carry the germ
about with them and suffer ne
harmful effects from 1t. There
fore a person who is infectious
is not necessarily a source of
danger to his friends and family.
The chief feature in the dissem-
ination of the disease is lack of
resistance, due to bad feeding, in.
sufficient fresh air and sunshine
and other offences against the
natural laws of health.

ARE WE FOR 1T? WE SAY NO.

Illinois, New York and other states
should not dictate its policies.
Sentiment is fine thing when
properly applied, but sentiment in
this case is far fetched and will
work to the disadvantage of the
State of Minnesota and this northern
end in particular. Cities have been
built on the strength of the tim
Der supply to be furnished by the
Superior National Forest on a sus-
tanned yield and cutting basis. All
this would go for nothing should
the park idea prevail. Besides there
is much private timber and lands
in this area being held for future
supply by the lumber, paper and
mining companies, and these hold
ings must be purchased by the gov
eminent. Should they be purchased
it would work hardship on the in
dustries named as the lumber, pa
per and mining interests have been
banking on these holdings as a fu-
ture supply.
AS an illustration, we will cite
Cloquet as an example. Should
this come to pass, Cloquet will be
out. The Pine KnCt published in
the woodworking city which secures
a large part of it's raw materials
from the Superior National Forest,
sums up the situation in the follow
ing:
"Cloquet's existence depends on
the manufacture of lumber, paper,
box lumber, Balsam- Wool, pulpwood
board, toothpicks, woodenware, plan
ing mill products, chemicals, fabrics
and other products of wood.
"a population of more than
1000, taxable values of more than
$5,000,000. a payroll of $5,000,000
the permanence of one thousand
homes and the prosperity of a grow
ing farming population in Carlton
and southern St. Louis counties
all hinge upon the use of raw ma
terials from their timber lands.
"The main source of supply for
pulpwood and the only source of
supply of saw logs to maintain these
industries and homes is the timber
now owned by the Cloquet indus
tries in the region of and adjacent
to the Superior National Forest.
''The group of industries at Clo-
quet has invested ten million dol
lars since the fire of 1918 in timber
and plants, with the idea of a per-
petual supply of raw material COM
ing from the Arrowhead country.
This timber was bought years ago.

up the forests, public and private,
to a basis which will maintain not
only the Cloquet industries but
twenty such manufacturing centers
in this Arrowhead country. That
is on the basis of sustained yield,
with the growth equaling the cut.
'"There is now an organized
movement, under the name of "Save
the Superior Forest Committee" to
abolish the Superior National Forest
and make it an immense park,
larger than some of our states. To
add to that park all the lands within
the present boundaries of the for
est reserve and to sweep into the
same park practically all of Lake
and Cook counties and all north of
Lake Vermilion in st. Louis county.
The object is to stop all cutting of
timber in the entire forest region,
even though now privately owned
by farmers, small operators and in
dustries.
'The immediate result of such
action would be to close the saw
mills in Cloquet; stop the cutting of
pulpwood by farmers and small OPP
orators, even though owned by
themselves; create unemployment in
Cloquet factories, and reduce by so
much the number of homes and
business concerns in the city.

policy, for which the Arrowhead
country stands to the last man and
woman, provides everything in the
way of recreational facilities that
a park could give and perhaps more,
and supports in addition the indus
trial development which means so
much to the welfare of northeastern
Minnesota.
"The Superior National Forest
was established to grow trees, to
market the timber, to encourage
and further the same forest policy
on private land, and to give every
facility for recreational use of the
forest. The park idea would leave
fire protection to the shifting
mercies of congress and completely
suppress any development-roads,
taxes, farms, homes, industries
based on forest resources.

fanciful idea is based on the use of
this immense region by a compare

COURSE
OPENS. OCT. Is

October 18th will mark the OPEN
ing of the Lyceum course at the
Washington auditorium with the
presentation of four outstanding
artists: Karl Scheurer, violinist;
Henry Williams, harpist; Carlo
Fischer, cellist, and Harrison Wall
Johnson, pianist. 1t is doubtful if
similar group has ever appeared
in Ely and all music lovers will well
come the opportunity of hearing
these well known musicians.
Karl Scheurer joined the Boston
Symphony in 1907 as first violinist
and solo viola player. In 1909 he
was engaged by Mr.. Oberhoffer as
second concert master for the Min
neapolis Symphony orchestra which
position he filled with distinction
for ten years.
Henry Williams, also of the Min
neapolis Symphony, was born in
Abergavenny South Wales, which
is renowned for it's production of
great harpists. Mr.. Williams began
his early studies with John Thomas,
the harpist for Queen Victoria and
King Edward, and he studied later
with Richard Barker, one of the
greatest harp teachers of all time.
Carlo Fischer is one of the best
known musicians in the northwest
though his fame and popularity is
by no means confined to this section
of the country. He has played with
the Minneapolis Symphony for the
past twenty-four years and has also
appeared as individual soloist in
concerts and recitals in hundreds of
cities in the country. Mr.. Fischer
studied under Bernhard Cossman
and Hugo Becker at Frankfurt-on
the-Main.
Harrison Wall Johnson, pianist,
enjoyed the privilege of study and
intimacy with Busoni. 1t is well
known how the great composer
pianist heard Mr.. Johnson play and
invited him to follow him to Europe
where he would superintend his fur
Their artistic development. Mr..
Johnson has made his mark as cham
Der musician and has been indie
fatigable in making known the
chamber classics of every epoch
and century.
The program will consist of en-
semble numbers as we'll as solos by
the individual artists. An attrac-
tive feature will be the descriptive
remarks preceding their numbers by
Mr.. Williams, harpist, and Mr..
Fischer, cellist.
Later numbers on the course will
be "The Cordova Concertiers" pre-
sented by two of Lyceum's favorite
artists, Edward and Rachael Stein
man Clarke; A travelogue by Chas.
A. Payne, "The World Traveller
with Genius for Friendship; and
a concluding number by the Tiffany
Male Quartet, an old fashioned
male quartet that really knows how
to sing.
The patronage of the people of
Ely has made it possible to bring
here this strong group of enter
tainers and, in spite of increased
cost of the course, the price of
season tickets has not been raised
in the hope that a liberal patronage
will defray the costs.
Adult season tickets sell for
$1.50; student season tickets, SOC.
and grade children, 35c.
The support of the public is re-
specially solicited.
