FACTS TO THE FARMERS

l am in contact with the farmers
at Moose Lake, Sturgeon Lake and
Kettle River.
To my surprise l hear that the
farmers at Moose Lake and Stur-
geon Lake are about to make a great
mistake, that will affect the income
of their dairy products.
You have built real cooperative
creamery at Kettle River and a
creamery that is not aiming for prof
it. If any surplus is accumulated it
will be distributed to you at the
basis that you created it. You all
are shareholders If not in full, at
least partial. You have become such
by rebates that have been credited
to you.
The Kettle River Cooperative
Creamery association can handle all
your dairy products and ten times
more. You have machines that are
nearly paid for and they are yours,
therefore, why take a burden and
take 3 to &c less for your cream
per lib. for years. You have paid
too many creameries up to the pres
ent date. Why take chances and
build little empires for someone
whom are not working for your in
terest, but for their own
l know from experience that you
cannot expect the prices that you
are now getting, if you divide the
mass. Taking into consideration the
cost of the machinery and buildings,
(and the dirty competition which we
usually meet). Will it be a paying
proposition to build these creameries
for fifty farmers or so? l must say,
NO. AS the cost of these creameries
is out of your butterfat.
The time for cooperative cream
cry at Moose Lake and Sturgeon
Lake is not yet. For the reason of
so many cooperative neighboring
creameries surrounding, which makes
it impossible for the farmers to be
loyal, due to the fact that these CO.
operative creameries now existing
will already at the present time, be
able to return more for the farmers
for their dairy products. These coop
erative creameries. that are already
in existence, are able to fight the
competition that these centraliZers
and privately owned creameries give,
in order to swipe us from the map
Taking ali into consideration, | do
not think that the Moose Lake farm
ers will want to donate to Kettle
River the creamery that is so well
known to all. Let us not be foot
ball" for the INSCRIPTIONS business
men. When the time comes, let us
farmers all go to work and build up
cooperative creamery at Moose
Lake or Sturgeon Lake and not when
the business men want us to do So.
(Think what their motive is, at this
present time in getting you inter-
ested, which l do not care to men
ton here.)
l submit the foregoing to the con-
sideration of the patrons and nom
patrons of the Kettle River Coop
erative Creamery association person
ally. The conditions that have NOV

Shot Accidentally

A boys hunting trip almost ended disastrously at Fairbanks when a bullet from a .22 rifle. discharged accidentally by Bobby Mitchell, hit Eugene Uotala, who was standing about 10 feet away. The bullet en- tered the boys left cheek, passed be- meath the ear and emerged from the back of his neck. An examination made by the doctor disclosed that the wound was not serious, although had the bullet taken only a slightly different course it might have re- suited in the boys death. Except for the loss of considerable blood he is apparently none the worse for the experience.

BERLIN-That the ways of eu- genics are beset with pitfalls, was demonstrated by the following let ter to a physician of Berlin which was published in Die Medizinische Welt"
 Dear Doctor: Kindly forgive me for troubling you, but I have heard that a Miss - intends calling on you today to inform herself about my state of health. Should this really be so. you would greatly oblige me by telling her that I am suffering from pulmonary tubereu- losis, have a valyular disease of the heart and am utterly unfit to marry. On my next visit to you I shall take occasion of expressing my gras itude for this courtesy with 10 marks ($2.50)."

 Now the women have upset the apple cart and propose to delYe into the trapping realm wherein man was always supreme up to this time.
 Here they go riding by airplane to the scene of their operations because the modern trapper must not be held down by short skirts or long dis tanees They say to themselves that they must be on the job at once and they hire a ship of the skies to take them to the realm of the pelts In the meantime they have a vacation and make money while they are talk ing it.
 Mrs. Frank Curran, Anna Stoner and Esther Camp have just returned after a sojourn up the Susitna river during which they caught their limit of beaver They left here by airplane in April and came back after the breakup on the susitna by boat. Miss Stoner, who spreads sunshine at the Cameron cafe. said that they had a wonderful experience.
 We caught our beaver" she said. and We got a notion of what life means in the north We trapped un- til we got the limit. It is hard to figure out a country where you can take a two-weeks' vacation and make $500 at the same time.
 The girls were brown as berries from their experience but they were happy because of several weeks in the open. They had made arrange ments with Captain MeElroy to meet them about 70 miles above susitna station but the late ice-go compelled them to mush down the river to meet the man with the boat

PUBLIC LIBRARY RECEIVES
 SEVERAL NEW BOOKS

Several new books have arrived for the library this week that should appeal to library patrons. They are: Fish plays the Game by Mary Rob- erts Rinehart; Wallflowers by Tenn pie Bailey; Confetti by Sophie Kerr; Dark Road by Harold Bindloss, and The Lovely Ship by Storm Jameson. The Irish" stories by Mrs. Rine- hart have never failed to amuse readers; Temple Bailey and Sophie Kerr are among the top-notchers in Bindloss books are favorites with many, and "The Lovely Ship" has received much favorable criticism in book reviews. Miss Jameson has written a story of a woman in the shipbuilding industry in an English town and of period about 1841, when ships were changing from wood to iron and t6 steel and from sails to steam. A woman in indus try in those days faced a decidedly unusual problem, but Mary loved ships and she inherited certain traits of character in addition to the ship yards from her cratic old uncle The ship-building is only a part of her difficulties, however, and the whole makes interesting reading, once the first few pages of the book are read. A library card entitling the holder to as many books as he or she can read for one month costs only 25 cents and may be secured any week day at the City Hall.

Unless Something Is Done Speedily,
Former Governor PinchOt. of Penn
syivania, Ayers, Our Forests. Once
Covering S22,000,000 Acres, Will Be
Entirely Devastated.
Mr.. Benz. H. Sincell, Editor,
The Republican,
Oakland, Maryland.
Dear Mr. Sincell:-For the last de
cade and more the essential fact about
the forest situation in America has
been winked at or overlooked in most
public discussions of the subject. This
fact is that our forests are disappear
ing at a rate that involves most seri-
Gus danger to the future prosperity Of
our country, and that little or nothing
that counts is being done about it.
Out of 822,000,0O0 acres of virgin
forest, only about one-eighth remains.
Half of that remaining eighth, rough
ly speaking, is held by the Government
and is safe from devastation. The rest
is being cut and burned with terrible
speed. And there is nowhere in the
world anything like a sufficient sup
ply of the kinds of timber we use to
take the place eff what we have de-
stroyed.
The foregoing statement is taken
from the introduction to a pamphlet
by Major George P. Ahern, entitled
devastated America" which l am
sending you under separate cover. Ma
jor Ahern establish the Philippine
Forest Service, organized the protec-
ton and utilization Of forty million
acres OF public timberlands, and not
only laid the basis for perpetual sue
cession Of timber crops, but earned
cash enough to pay all the expenses
of administration, all the expenses of
the Philippine Forest School (Which
he founded), and four million dollars
to boot for the public treasury.
This outstanding success in forest
conservation in the Philippines was
built on Government control Of lum-
boring. That is and has always been
the foundation of such successes thru
out the world And thruout the world
the right of the Government to eXer-
else such control in the public inter-
est is recognized. Forest devastation
in the United States can not be stop
ped without it.
Forest fires are steadily growing
worse in America, and fire prevention
is absolutely Indispensable. But the
axe .carelessly used is the mother of
forest fires. The axe and not the fire
is our greatest danger. Until the axe
is controlled there can be no solution
of the fire problem, or of the problem
of forest devastation.
Over the National Forests, which
cover one-ffth of our ultimate posi-
bic timber-growing area, we have es-
tabliShed Government control of the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1928-12-27

axe. These forests are safe, they are
well handled, and they will produce
larger and larger crops of timber as
time goes on. Over the other four
fifths of our forest land the axe holds
unregulated sway.
Either we must control the axe on
these privately owned lands or the
forests that are left will follow the
road Of those that are gone already
The lumber industry is spending
millions Of dollars on propaganda in
the effort to forstall or delay the pub
lie control of numbering, which is the
only measure capable of putting an
end to forest devastation in America
1t is trying to fool the American peo-
pie into believing that the industry is
regulating itself and has given up the
practice of forest devastation. That is
not true, and Major Ahern has proved
it beyond question in his most valua-
Bile paper. We are still sowing the
wind and the whirlwind is not far Off.
Sincerely yours,
CLIFFORD PINCHOT.

ADVISED TO MUZzLE YOUR
COUGHS And SNEEZES
State Board of Health Always
Alert, Sends Out Timely and
Suggestive Warming on Colds

"That arch enemy of mankind the
common colds always on the ram
page at this time of the year, and it
behooves every one of US to mobiI-
ize our powers Of resistance against
it," DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, said re-
Gently. 1T is mistake" he contin-
ued, "to say that we catch a cold.
As a matter of fact, the cold usually
catches US when we are off guard or
below par physically.
"Colds and other diseases of the res
piratOry system are spread from per
son to person not through malicious
ness but through ignorance, careless
ness and indifference. To be specific:
Every time the victim of a cold
has coughing spell, germ laden drop
lets of mucus are brought to the sur
face. Every sneeze projects germ
laden spray into the atmosphere. The
mucus that is raised up by the splitter
and carelessly deposited on the street
or road carries untold numbers of
germs of the common cold, or tubercu-
losis, or of other respiratory diseases.
Dragged indoors on the shoes of pass
ersby these germs become a menace
to the members of the household and
especially to the little children who
play around on the floor.
Every victim of cold who kisses
another person squarely on the mouth,
implants the germs of his ailment in
the most favorable spot for their
speedy growth@ Every sufferer from
a cold in the head, or throat, or cough
er, who shares his towel or wash cloth
or his drinking cup with the other
members of the family or with his
friends at the office or at school, SIM
ply serves as a germ distributor.
"The best way to protect yourself
against the common cold is to siren
CITIZEN your powers of resistance. Keep
yourself as physically fit as possible.
Eat plenty of nourishing food, but
don't over eat. Take some exercise
out of doors every day. Get plenty
of sleep. Drink from five to six
glasses of water throughout the day,
every day. Dress according to the
weather. Always wash your hands
before eating.
eff you take a cold, have some
thought for the other fellow. Cover
your mouth with your hand, or better
still with your handkerchief when you
cough; sneeze into your handker-
chief, spit into a sputum cup or
paper handkerchief and destroy the
cup or the handkerchief afterwards,
Even very small child can get into
the habit of using paper handker-
chief when he has a cold. A small
paper bag placed beside your bed or
kept in your pocket will serve as a
safe container for the germ laden
handkerchiefs and can be destroyed
with them
