Well Attended and EnthuSi-
astic Meeting Held at
Sandstone Saturday At
ternOon Makes Federal
Forest Reserve Doubtful,

About two hundred people attended
the meeting at Sandstone Saturday
afternoon, when a general discussion
took place on the merits of the pro-
posed federal forest reserve in north
eastern Pine county and two town.
ships of Carlton cOunty-Clear Creek
and Holyoke. County Agent w. F.
Hammargren presided as chairman,
and District Forester E. w. Tinker of
Lake Region, answered questions and
explained the plan of forest reserve
and what the national government Of
ferS to the settlers, the communities
and the counties affected. Practically
every corner of Pine county was rep
resented at the meeting, and few
folks were there from Carlton county
as well as from more distant places.
+. w. Tinker Explains Question.
Mr.. Tinker explained that the pro-
posed forest embraces approximately
100000 to 100000 acres as outlined
by the Federal Forest Commission
but that the boundaries are flexible
Additions thereto must have the ap-
prOval of the Commission. Farming
alongside of the forest is encouraged
by the Commission and no condemna-
ton proceedings are used. Mr.. Tinker
explained that the government rather
leans back before purchasing farm
lands. The government assumes no
bonded Indebtedness and all liens
against the lands must be wiped out
before any purchase is made. The
price paid for forest land is approx
mately $1.60 per acre-sometimes
more and sometimes less, depending
on the value of the lands and location.
The government pays no taxes on a
forest reserve but in lieu of taxes
pays &c per acre to maintain local
roads and $50 of gross receipts from
timber products goes to the county
in which it is located for schools and
other local purposes. If the forest
reserve is established in Pine and
Carlton counties, Mr. Tinker ex-
planned that the government usually
figures to get from 500 to 1870 of the
proposed area.
Several Offer Opinions.
Following Mr.. Tinkers explanation
about so took part in the general dis
cussion and asked questions. Some
were for the reserve and others
against. 1t appeared that many of
the settlers in the proposed area were
skeptical as to its advantages. H. j.
Berglund from northeast of Bruno,
said that he and his family had now
spent 20 years there in making home
and farm and they would not like to
be surrounded by forest but rather
live in the hope that the community

WATER CAUSES
INCONVENIENCE

An unusual and rather eX-
pensive misfortune befell the
John Arth family Easter Sum
day when the hot water tank
in their kitchen burst while
they were attending church with
the result that the basement
and the kitchen of their resi-
dence were flooded. More of
the floor space might have been
ruined if it had not been for
very heavy rug in the hall
which soaked up considerable
water. When the family re-
turned home the water was still
spouting across the room and it
was probably fortunate that no
one was in the room at the time
of the explosion or serious
burns might have been inflicted.
Some damage was done to the
floors and the linoleum in the
kitchen.

Says We Must Keep Feet
Dry, Avoid Exposure
Eat No Sweets

Stay off the damp ground, avoid
exposure, keep feet dry, eat no
sweets of any kind for a while,
drink lots of water and above all
take spoonful of Jad Salts occa-
sionally to help keep down uric and
toxic acids
Rheumatism is caused by poison
toxins, called acids, which are gen.
Grated in the bowels and absorbed
into the blood. It is the function
of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in
the urine. The pores of the skin
are also a means of freeing the
blood of this inpurity. In damp
and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the
kidneys to do double work; they be-
come weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate this poison, which keeps
accommodating and circulating
through the system, eventually set
Ting in the joints and muscles,
causing stiffness, soreness and pain,
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a table
spoonful in glass Of water and
drink before breakfast each morn
ing for a week. This is helpful to
neutralize acidity. remove body
waste also to stimulate the kidneys,
thus helping to rid the blood of
these rheumatic poiSonS.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and Is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and IS used with excellent results

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-An in

Association, said the growers were
not seeking charity, but justice.
Sugar is the only product selling
today at pre-war prices" he said.
Although the cost of sugar is only
seven cents a 100 pounds higher
than before the war, the cost of
farm tools has increased IS per cent.
We can not continue to work on a

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. -
Alarmed at the continued delay on
the naval cruiser building bill, Re-
publican leaders held a conference
today with Vice President Elect
Charles Curtis, Republican floor
boss. and decided to use strenuous
efforts to prevent blockage of the
administrative measure.
The conference was called at the
instance of Chairman Hale of the
senate naval affairs committee who
complained that his naval bill was
being buffeted by appropriation
bills which have the right of way.
He suspected a subtle filibuster
against the bill and asked the CO.
operation of leaders to prevent de-
lay.
Fear Filibuster
Hale fears that If the bill is de-
layed another week or two, as has
appeared probable in the ordinary
course of events, it will get involved
in filibuster which will prevent its
enactment before congress adjourns
March. 4.
The leaders agreed they would
have the senate meet an hour earl
Ter in the mornings and sit an hour
later in the evenings to hasten the
appropriation bills along. Next
week If the situation is not cleared
they agreed night sessions might
be necessary. At any rate they will
not permit the bill to be ieopardized,
they said.
Ready for West Vote
The conference was held while
the senate was in executive session
closing debate in preparation for
confirming the nomination of Roy
O. West, as secretary of interior
Afterward debate on the prohibition
provisions of the first deficiency ap-
preparation bill was to be taken up.
The house spent the day cleaning
up minor bills on the calendar.
