ARROWHEAD DISTRIBUTING
BOOKLET ON STATE LANDS.

Minnesota's great achievement in
the operation of its government land
grants for the aid of schools and high
er education in the state is told in
a booklet just published by the Min
nesota Arrowhead association, copies
Of which have been received by edu-
Gators and prominent business men
of this city.
The booklet is also being used in
many of the schools, as it contains a
large number of charts and diagrams
describing the original Indian country
of Minnesota, the various government
land grants, how the school funds
were built, the present condition of
the lands, the mining wealth and the
present conservation campaign.
The Arrowhead association, in issu-
ing the booklet, is making an appeal
for an adjustment of iron ore taxa
ton in Minnesota to preserve the iron
industry for the future and the school
funds, which are maintained through
the operation of state-owned leases.
"The Childrens Heritage" as the
booklet is called, was compiled by
John Stone Pardee of Duluth, and
copies may be obtained by writing
the Arrowhead headquarters, 315 West
Superior street, Duluth.

DRIVERS GIVE MORE
THOUGHT TO LIGHTS.

Applications for appointment as
certified lamp adjusters are again
coming in to the offices of the Mime
sofa Highway department. A short
course for applicants will be held at
Dunwoody Institute as soon as the
number of applications on file will
warrant, it is announced.
There seems to be a demand for
auto mechanics who have the official
appointments as lamp adjusterS Every
few days some lamp adjusting station
reports to the Highway department or
to Dunwoody thai it is without a Ger
tilted adjuster. 1t has been found that
garages, even if they do not have an
official testing station, give the pre-
ference to mechanics who have taken
the lamp adjusting course.
With shorter days and more night
driving, motorists are paying more at
tention to their headlights. Car own
ers who have had their headlampS
adjusted according to the state stand
ards all report that it gives them
better illumination on the road and
makes night driving easier and safer.
Until there is uniform enforcement of
the. traffic laws, there will probably
be number of glaring lights on the
road, but if your own lights are prop
erly adjusted SO you can see the road
ahead, the other fellows glaring
lights will not bother you as much as
if your own lights are out of focus.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
BEGINS ON OCTOBER I

Because 80 per cent or more of the
Nations annual fire loss occurs on
farms and in rural districts, Secrs-
tary of Agriculture Jardine today
made a special appeal to all rural
communities to observe and practice
the fundamentals of fire prevention
which will be stressed throughout the
United States during the week of
October Z, designated as Fire Preven-
ton Week by proclamation of the
President of the United States.
President Coolidge's proclamation
referred to the interesting fact that
cities, towns, and farming communi-
ties engaged in constructive cam
paign to inculcate sound principles
of fire prevention in the minds of
thinking inhabitants, are accomplish
ing highly desirable and satisfactory
results but he aptly urged the need
of translating this effort into further
remedial action" said the Secretary
"This appeal can not be too strong
ly stressed" said the Secretary, "be-
cause the annual loss of life and
property in the rural districts is far
greater than would prevail if concer-
ted and continuous activity were di-

FIRE PREVENTION
. COX AND HA|ME[

I Fire Chief I. G. Cox and Supervisor
Hamel of the Superior National Forest
were speakers at Wednesday evenings
meeting of the Ely Rotary Club. Mr..
Cox dwelt on the deposits of rubbish
in the alleys as fire menace and also
touched on the Christmas tree danger.
He pointed out that the Christmas
tree custom caused uncounted fire los
ses and suggested that trees be set
on the porches of houses and on lawns.
The idea is a good one and besides
helping beautify the city in general,
the fire hazard would be cut He also
called attention to the striking of
matches and the search for candles
every time the lighting system was
thrown out of gear by storms This
was also considered a great hazard.
Supervisor Hamel spoke on the fire
situation in the Superior National
Forest and told of the work being done
by local organizations and munich
palities in checking the evil He call
ed attention to the part education was
playing in forest fire matters and told
of the care being exercised by tourists
as compared to the care shown by 10
cal citizens. He dwelt on the neces-
sity of securing burning permit by
those wishing to dispose of brush and
also spoke of the promptness in which
incipient blazes on the forest were 10
Gated and squelched.
The Program Committee had charge
of the meeting, Walter Englund presi
ding. The Presbyterian ladies served
the dinner.

rected against the hazard. Last year
fires on farms and in rural districts
took toll of $500 lives and caused
approximately $15O,O0O,0O0 damage to
property, more than 80 per cent of
the $475,000,000 loss charged against
fire in the entire United States. Al
though there has been substantial
improvement in reducing the number
of dollars lost per $100 insured, sta
tistics indicate that farm barns and
rural dwellings are appearing in the
lists of larger losses more frequently
than heretofore"
Spontaneous ignition of hay and
other agricultural products, lightning,
defective chimneys and flues, care
less use of matches and smoking, COM
bustible roofs, careless use and storage
of gasoline and kerosene, and faulty
wiring installations and improper use
of electrical appliances, are the sew
en- principal causes of farm fires and
constitute hazards which must be
ccped with in an energetic and efeC-
tive manner. Through its work on
farm fire prevention and protection
the department stands ready to be of
every possible service in this import
ant field, said Secretary Jardine.
Farm fire losses, he concluded, are
direct challenge to everyone in
terested in the conservation of the
Nations wealth and resources, and it
behooves every individual concerned to
do his utmost, not only during Fire
Prevention Week, but throughout the
entire year in reducing this fire waste.
The unstinting cooperation of the rur-
al population in this worthwhile
movement is necessary and STRONGLY
urged.

will produce more than virgin timber

However, as G. A. Pearson, Of the
Forest Service, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, says, before man
can direct and assist nature he must
learn natures ways. cit Is Of ut
most Importance" he says, "to work
in harmony with rather than in op-
position to biological laws. Biologists
are coming more and more to recog-
nize that if they would comprehend
the laws governing the intricate re-
lationships between living things and
their natural environments, they must
study these relationships as nearly
as possible under natural conditions.
The action of plant upon plant, of
animal upon animal, of animal upon
plant and vice versa, and the inter
action between plants and animals on
the one hand and natural environ
ment on the other are still but vaguely
understood"
Mr.. Pearson was speaking at the
dedication of the Santa Catalina Ma
tural Area on the Coronado National
Forest in Arizona. This tract of more
than 4,460 acres will not be logged or
grazed, but will be preserved in its
natural condition. No effort will be
made to increase it's productivity, be-
cause in managed forest the natural
relationships between various factors
are altered. 1t will not produce as
much timber or as much forage as
neighboring areas that have been
placed under forest management On
it trees will live longer than in COM
mercial forests which are cut before
nature checks the growth of the trees
and allows decay and insects to make
way with the finished product. This
natural area will be preserved so that
foresters can study the ways of nature,
learning how to work with rather than
against her. This natural area will
be an example of the natural processes
of waste" so far as direct usefulness
to man is concerned, but it is believed
that the lessons science can learn from
such on area will lead to much great
er gains elsewhere.

WANT DIVISION OF
GAS TAX MONEY
Communicated


Country newspapers in all sections
of the state are joining in support Of
Amendment No. 1, members of the
state committee working for the
amendment report.
The amendment would change the
constitution so that third of the pro-
ceeds of the gasoline tax can be used
on the secondary roads. At present
all the gasoline tax money goes into
the trunk highway fund and is used
along with the proceeds of the motor
vehicle tax and the federal aid to
improve the trunk highways. But
more than 80 per cent of the trunk
highways have. been paved or surfac-
ed, and sponsors of the amendment
believe that it now is time to extend
little aid to the secondary roads.
| Passage of the amendment would
prove big benefit to the rural dis
tricts, and particularly to towns and
cities that depend to any extent on
the country, the editors suggest. The
st. Paul Dispatch has come out
against the amendment, but there are
few discordant voices from the coun-
try. Here is the way a few of the
editors size the matter up:

Amendment No. 1. BY improving these
rural highways, the entire state will
benefit from easier accessibility to

Luverne Star-The farmers and the
business men in the country town
know well that it is over the town
ship and county roads that there
pours into every community the busi-
ness that keeps it alive.
Dawson Sentinel Governor Chris
tianson's papeD-This amendment
undoubtedly would be a great benefit
to the small towns that depend on
the farmers for their trade.
Mountain Lake observe THE
amendment, naturally, oil be bitterly
opposed by the Twin Cities, as it gives

thing to which they are rightfully en-
titled.

Amendment, and we are glad to see
that it is winning. supporters daily

in their minds what it proposes to do
for their roads without increased taxes
they will surely vote for it.
Hibbing Independent People living
in this section of the state and espec-
tally ST. Louis country have no oc-
casion to complain about the high
ways, but just let them take trip into
the country, off the main arterial
highways, and they will be convinced
that some of the farmers who are try
ing to make home for their families
il. the backwoods should come in for
the same consideration as the tourists
Gary-New Duluth News-The pro-
posed amendment will build up roads
that are an absolute necessity if there
is to be any appreciable increase in
the development of agricultural re-
sources
L. j. johnson, chairman of the
committee working for the amend
ment, is gratified with the aid being
given by the papers.
To pass the amendment, a heavy
vote in the country districts will be
necessary, he said, and the country
newspapers are making splendid
contribution to that end. E. F.
