A Saint Paul printing house has
brought suit against the board of
commissioners of Rice county for
payment of bill the county officials
claim never was delivered. If these
and other county officials and all
public officers were to patronize
their home print shops, as they
should do-and would if they, the
officials were anywhere near right
there wouldn't be any such oppor-
tu0rty Offered for adding the costs
OF law suit to the other taxes the
people have to pay.
1t may be true, and sometimes is,
that the big city print shops do
work at a slightly reduced figure,
but that isn't any excuse. They do
nothing whatever to the benefit of
the community where their printing
is delivered simply take the money
out " town and 1t never gets back.
There are too many public bodies
throughout this and other states
that seem to think it is economy to
pass up the home printer-the chap
who is giving the very best that's in
him for his home people, who makes
ms money in his home town and who
spends it there.
Too many communities do not
realize what the little country
weekly newspaper means to the we'll
being of the town. If they did they
would elect men to public Office who
would see to it that the country
publisher gets everything that is
coming to him, and as much more
as possible.-Hibbing Daily News.

A new illustration of the strength
of modern concrete highways was
afforded last week near Barnum,
when a cloudburst washed out the
grade on trunk highway No. l and
cut a hole under the pavement lS
feet wide. The pavement held like
a bridge and traffic continued unin-
terrupted. Maintenance crews got
on the job Immediately they heard
of the washout and placed supports
under the pavement to guard against
a break, and filled in the washout
as soon as possible. There was not
even a crack in the pavement, and
no repair on the slab was necessary.

Saturday evening the Colored

Some difficulty was experienced with

continued. The visitors put up an
excellent exhibition and kept the
crowd amused with their antics and

sioner Gould is continuing his
fight against the construction of
more roads in the Superior Ma
tional Forest-and those who
manage the most beautiful tract
of natural forest in the country
are going right along with their
plans for despoiling it. "-Hibbing
Daily News.
The above spasm was occasioned
by the recent legalization by the
county commissioners of few miles
of a fire-fighting trail on the Ely
Buyck line. A little less of this
criticism of the men entrusted with
the work of keeping the forests free
from fire and their methods of
doing this and little more enlighten-
ment and education for those using
the forests as outing spots regard
ing the fire danger of cigarettes,
coffee cooking" and matches, would
be more to the purpose. There has
not been serious fire on the Ely
Finland road since the road became
passable, simply because the forest
officials could get prompt service
to tie affected territory in case a
fire started. The lack of fires
along this road also disapproves the
theory that tourists and roads are
fire breeders. If the ordinary home
grown outer was as careful with
fires as the tourist, there never
would be forest fire. Men cap
able of administering and maintain
ing big thing like the Superior
National forest are not making
"plans to despoil it."

An American crook under arrest
in Paris had been putting up an eff
ficient fight against extradition, but
III a week or so changed his mind
and said he would be glad to &C
company an officer back to the
United States. 1t seems that bail
is not readily accepted in France
and the jails are not nearly so COM
Portable as in this country. Under
the circumstances any crook or con-
fidence man would prefer to take

and if he doesn't get that he may
still pleasantly kill few months in
