A GOOD LESSON.

Some trout fishermen are good fell
lows and occasionally we meet them.
One of these chaps we met recently
was telling us how he and bunch of
other fishermen got good lesson for
starting a forest fire. One of his
party threw a lighted cigaret into
some dry leaves. Although one of
the other fishermen called him for it
none went to see that the stub was
extinguished. A breeze came up a
few minutes later and very short
time thereafter they were surprised
to see fire rapidly gaining volume
At this point fire warden appeared
on the scene and set them all to work
and when the fire was out the end of
their fishing trip was over. The chap
that threw his cigaret stub lost his
popularity with that crowd In fact,
the bunch would have enjoyed lynch
ing him. Our informant said that we
could take it from him that none of
the fishermen in that bunch would be
responsible for anther forest fire.
Those kind of lessons, while costly,
do lots of good. A fisherman, above
all other people, should be careful
about fires.-C oleraine Iron News.

left may run not far below the school
fund in ultimate values.
The swamp land grant to the state
and the grants to railroads from the
swamp lands by the state, are distinct
from the railroad land grants by con-
gress. That was a gift to the terri
tory of 100000 acres, in trust, to be
given to railroads which would build
on certain routes. Unhappily the
contracts were made just in time for
the companies to go under in the
panic of 1857. The lands were not
salable at any price and the venture
was a total loss. Then the state
loaned the companies 100000 under
special constitutional provision and
that was also total loss.
Finally the state redeemed it's out
standing railroad bonds partly by
taxation and partly by the proceeds of
100000 acres Of internal improvement
lands given by congress.
Outside of that experience with the
railroad land grants and the internal
improvement lands, Minnesota has
Jared singularly well in the care and
protection of its trust funds.

TELLING THE WORLD.

Records by the American Newspa-
pers Publishers association show the
enormous amount spent last year in
advertising well-known products.
The sum of $4,095, 900 was expended
in advertising the Chevrolet car alone,
which heads the list of big appropri-
atoms. And, incidentalE-or conse-
quently-the Chevrolet led all other
cars in sales increase. Other large ex-

Next to the school lands in volume

future trust funds are the Minnesota
swamp land grants. BY rights, it
should have come to 100000 acres

the school lands, but a lot of it got
away by one slip or another, and the

BEEF PRICES ARE RISING RAPIDLY
Caused by Post.War Difficulties in Cattle Industry

Washington. Aug. 16 uPl-Thn old fashioned wild west-at least, as e.emplitied by cattle ranges IS coming back int0 its own.
 Beef prices in the last few weeks have risen to heights that invoke memories of war days and the cat tle ranches of America are begin = ming to reap a profit after eight years of depression.
 Dr. C. Y. Whalin, heat expert of 'he agricultural department, said to- iay the high beef prices are the re- suit of the difficulties that followed the cattle industry after the war.
 "In 1920 there was over r-produc- ton, the bottom dropped out of the cattle market and beef raisers were swamped with accumulated debts.' Dr. Whalin. said.
 ''The industry is now coming back but il win be at least five years be lore the supply Of cattle is normal gain. Beef prices will continue high as long as there is a shortage
 sDr. Whalin said he believed the
 
 l ranges had been reached but this Ils not mean the crest has been cached in the advancing prics of beef.
 "The situation is not serious and there will be no beef faminc.' he said. "For many years cattlemen did not have money to restock the ranges, but now they are slowly |catching up with their losses and restocking.
 ''It will be several years before this new stock is ready for the mar ket, however, and therefore the market shortage vii! continue.
 There is little importation of beef from New Zealand at present, but it does not amount to much as that country has very little beef for export. At present there is no appre- |ciable import in beef and little like |lihood that imports will become heavy.
 "The embargo in beef imports from the Argentine still is in effect because of the foot and mouth disease in that country. Meantime people are turning to other meats as substitute for beef. | This will be d great year for pork and good year for lamb and mutton
