TO THE POINT

Editor Fay Cravens of the Mile
Lacs County Times continues 20 hit
the nail on the head in his writing
The following from his pen is al

for a S20,0O0,000 bond issue in Min

How to stop the violation of the 18th
amendment-prohib the sale of in

any purpose, and make the buyer
equally guilty with the seller
Perhaps the proposal to saddle the
several millions of dollars in bonds
issued by northern Minnesota coun-
ties for carrying out the Republican
drainage platform of twenty years
ago on to the taxpayers of the state
is merely another noble experiment.

DEVASTATION VERSUS
REFORESTATION
(MinneOta MaScOt)

One of the more important prob
lens which the next Minnesota leg
islature will have before it for con-
sideration is that of reforestation, OF
building up the states devastated
lumber industry.
Today less than one tenth of the
virgin timber once possessed is left
standing. The rapidity with which
this has been accomplished and the
thoroughness with which the forests
have been, annihilated is appalling
Little or no provision has been made
for replacing the denuded lands.
This is a problem not peculiar tt
the state of Minnesota alone but it is
national problem as well. Out o.
the S22,OO0,OOO acres of virgin for
ests in the United States only about
one-eighth remains. Half of tha

ling headlight glare in the quest fol
safer night driving. Ditch lights
and refractional glass are helps, but
they are not enough. Four-wheel
brakes also make for safer highways
though they have permitted greater
speeds, that have themselves added tc
the urgent need of eradicating the
constant annoyance of powerful, glary
headlights.
Still, the glare of two brilliant
searchlights, racing toward the on
coming motorist, is grave problem
in night driving. Massachusetts
which may be considered an average
state, had SAT fatal automobile mis-
haps in 1927, of which forty were due
to too bright or too insufficient light
ing. Many others indirectly resulted
from these two causes.
In the interest of the security and
comfort of the millions of motorists in
the United States, today's ever-speed-
Ter transportation demands that every
possible safeguard and assistance be
provided in order that he who drives
may see more clearly than under
present conditions.

TOO MUCH SYMPATHY

The following is an excerpt from
the Minneapolis Star:
Nov that Dappar Dan Hogan, ST.
Paul underworld king, has gone to
glory, many will be the throbbins
tales of his generosity, his purity OF
heart, his unfailing assistance OF
comrades who were less fortunate
than he. These stories will be on the
order of those which depicted the
late Mr.. Rothstein as the square
gambler" and similar ingenious
poppycock.
Why is it that when a gangster or un-
derworld leader is popped off in dra-
matte fashion, he Immediately is
surrounded with romantic glamor?
How does it happen that the drat
realism of his life is so suddenly
changed into a sweetly sentimental
plot as unreal and incredible as a
Hollywood scenario?
There is far less sweetness and
light" in the underworld than is gen.
orally supposed. The human qualities
we like to find in our friends-grati
tude, loyalty, comradeship-run very
thin in the gangster's realm and what
little there is of them is distorted and
violated. An environment of crime
and treachery is not a fertile breeding
place for story-book virtue and what
glamor can be read into the gang
ster's life is usually put there by a
writer with an urge for fiction

THE EMPTY STOCKING

Most prosperous of all nations col
lectively and otherwise, land OF
promise to immigrants where the
Christmas spirit prevails as in no
other nation, yet these United States
of ours enfold in their bosom many
pathetic cases where Christmas cheer
will be absent to a tortuous degree.
Christmas day will break bright and
fair for many, while many still, will
be devoid of the bare necessities of
life. The children who derive such
rapturous blessings and pleasure from
the legendary chimney visit, will have
among their numbers this Christmas
some, who will not know of the joy
and the thrills that accompany full
stocking, that was hung with such
care on Christmas eve. Some of the
little stockings will be empty-some
little hearts will ache because of the
inability of old Santa to reach them,
not because of their having been
naughty, but because of other circum-
stances, of which the little ones are
innocent 1t is pitiful picture!
Think of the little girl or boy that
has gone without the necessities of
life many times without whimper,
think of the brave little feet, which
will trod on errands down the lighted
and festively decorated streets, only
to awaken in the morning to find the
little stocking, which was hung with
such care, empty with no trace that

PINE COUNTY AGED
LADY PASSED AWAY

Pine county lost one of its oldest
residents Tuesday afternoon of last
week when Grandma" BirdsaII passed
away at the home of her son, D. H.
BirdSall at Bass Lake
ThurZa Ann Walker was born at
Trenton, on Lake Ontario, Canada
January 9, 1884. She was married
to Samuel Birdsall at ST. Thomas,
Canada, September Is, 1854 and the
couple came to Minnesota two years
after their marriage. They have
made their home in Pine county since
1900. Since Mr.. Birdsall's death in
1916, she has made her home with
her daughter, Mrs. A j. Hall and her
son at whose home she passed away
She has always enjoyed the best OF
health and if she had lived until the
9th of next month, she would have
been 95 years old.
Funeral services were held in the
Congregational church at Sandstone
last Thursday afternoon with inter
ment being made at Spring Hill GEM
etery. Rev. Paul Hendricks OF
Hinckley conducted the funeral

feeling. To revive that cry is to stir
up old animosities, to defeat the very
purpose for which the leaders of ma
lions are striving. But those who
know the other side of Mussolini will
hope that his words constitute a mere
gesture, that he is assuming the pose
of the Duce, and that it is not the
true Premier of Italy who is speaking.
Otherwise his friends may come to be-
lieve that he has lost his faith in hu-
mainly.

WELCOME

Last week saw the launching of a
new paper into the field of weeklies
of Minnesota at Kasson, in Dodge
county. The new paper took as its
name, The Kasson CALI and is ed
tied and published by H. L. Bergey
who formerly published the county
seat paper of that county. Mr.. Berg
ey is a printer and newspaper man
of much ability and after summer
of rest, we are glad to see him return
to the profession and we know that
the people of Kasson and community
will reap benefit from his efforts.
