This, with the popular desire, as was plainly evidenced by the roofing fans, for the school team to win, served to dish up an exceptionally interesting game It was tough game to lose, say the Hi squad. There is wide diff ference of opinion here. Perhaps the boys have ben receiving too much bologna" It's cinch they can play a better game than they got out their systems last night.

1.-THE HAY CROP

- Providence has a way of doing
things, which is hard at times to
fathom; in fact most of us haven't
the slightest conception of what it's
all about
In passing, it might be pertinent to
remark that if we all would place
just a little more faith in providence
and not pay quite so much attention
to "luck," we probably would reap
greater rewards. Then, with a little
patience, things in all probability,
in the long run, would shape them
selves better to our liking.
The American now has in mind the
hay crop.
Early in the game, there was voiced
not a little complaint and expressions
of worry at conditions then, and the
prospects, because of the dry, cold
weather. However, in due time the
drought was ended by heavy rains,
the sun began to shine brightly, and
where at one time it appeared to some
as though there were going to be a
great shortage of hay, there now is
every evidence there will be quite an
abundance.
SO, we say. it might prove more ben
eficial if we would play the waiting
game" when in doubt, and undoubtedly
the Provident One will see to it that
famine is not visited upon His people.

PRESIDENTS CALLERS i.

That is the asinine ending to virtu-

Of course the President wouldn't

politics to be discussed in his pres
ence. Certainly not. He's on vaca-

THE COUNTY FAIR

This editorial, brief as it is
going to be, may be superfluous.
Nevertheless, this newspaper believes
it to be it's duty, to do what little it
can to help make the Pine County
fair, to be held at Pine City August
16, II and 10, the success that is de-
sired for it.
Therefore, especial attention is
called to the event.
All things point to one of the most
pretentious expositions yet conducted;
fair officials are working overtime to
make it so, and they are deserving of
the unstinted support of residents of
the county.
Let's all begin right now to boost
for this affair to the end that we will
hear said of it after it is all over:

DUPLICATE EDITORIALS

This paper was sadly disappointed
last week to note that the editors OF
two of the states best/weeklies, one
run by one of the most prominent
publishers of the state and the other
by as capable, if less prominent, an
editor, ran in their editorials as their
own writings, editorials which were
identically the same, word for word
on the same day (their papers, though
printed more than 200 miles apart
probably printed the same hour Of
the day.
Such occurrences certainly make
editors of newspapers look ridiculous
and above all things, puts them down
materially in the estimation of those
who notice such an occurrence. Come
on, folks, let's have no more of that

Many bewail the fact that endless
professions of motor cars now cover
the 'open road" meaning by that the

the fact that traffic gravitates tt
them. They certainly carry an en-
ormous traffic during busy hours-toe
much for pleasure, and sometimes toe
much for safety.
But the case is not so bad after all
The complaints come largely from two
classes of drivers. One class is the
speeders. For these there is little tt

better on night air., The other class is

MAY HAVE MERIT

A suggestion for the revision of the
state assessment laws as a move for
economy, recently was made by men,
bers of the board of Pine county COM
missioners, and at a glance, and with
out having made any searching in
quiry into the proposal, it sounds to
the American as though it may have
considerable merit.
The board suggests that real estate
be assessed only every four years, in
stead of every two years, as is the
present case. This, the board men,
bers point out, would eliminate the
necessity of calling the equalization
board together for review of the
levies so often, or at least, it would
not require such long sessions, some
of which consume more than a week
and cost considerable.
Changes in the assessment rolls, un-
der the proposal, would be made when
personal property is assessed each
year, attachments would be allowed,
and so on, such attachments to stand
for three years. In the interim, how
ever, should buildings be destroyed,
or new ones added, such deductions or
additions to the levies could be made
at the time of the personal property
assessment. s-..s..
The American would like to receive
some opinions on this proposal from
the taxpayers of the county, and sug-
gests that those interested write their
views to be published in our Opinions
of Others" column.

be filed for election, and the CLASSY

seems to suggest that "Lese Majesty"
has been committed in capital letters
by the attempt to have a change on

who was elected as President of a

1t is a great pity that our fore
fathers who were so careful to plan
a form of government that could not
be corrupted into autocracy had not
the foresight to put plank into the
constitution arranging for limited
number of terms to each and every
office.
And now we are told that the Re

about as much money each year as
the old board that we had to pry
loose four years ago. They say they
are spending it more wisely. Who

has been filed. Go to the board

as it is your business that will be

around until it is opened. You have

TRACTORS MUST BE
KEPT OFF TARRED
ROADS, is WARNING

With the threshing and blowing
season approaching, the State High
way department calls attention to the
law against driving threshing engines
or tractors on highways where the
Tugs will injure the road surface.
This warning applies especially to the
tar and oil treated highways. The
state now has more than 500 miles of
bituminous treated trunk roads and
there are also many stretches of coun-
ty roads that are oiled or tarred.
Most of the state highways where
tractors with Tugs are barred, have
notices posted to this effect, but the
absence of such warning signs is not
valid excuse for driving over the
highway with any. machine which will
materially damage the road surface.
On untreated gravel or dirt roads or
binary traction engines or tractors do
no harm. They help to pack the sur
face material and the next trip made
by the maintenance BLADDER fills the
corrugatiOns.
Tractors with Jugs which have gone
over some of the "black top high
ways in recent years have cost the
highway department several expensive
repair bills. Little trouble has been
experienced on the concrete pave
ments, for while the heavier machines
may occasionally damage the pave
ment, usually the machine gets the
worst of it, and those who value their
tractors do hot drive over the hard
surfaced highways.
