.On This
Occasion
Just a few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

1t makes no odds what kind of a
record you establish, someone comes
right along after you and equals or
exceeds it. II seems, as suggested by
a noted writer, that a knowledge that
a thing can be done is its chief in
centive to its accomplishment. No
sooner had young woman swan the
English channel when four or five
others performed the feat. Babe Ruth
showed it was possible to knock out
fifty home runs in season, now sew
eral players in the major leagues have
approached or bettered it. Apparently,
once a thing has been done the doing
of it by others becomes infinitely easy.
Example is the most powerful of all
stimulantS.
However, there are some records
which will probably remain the sole
property of the present holder We re-
fer to the sauer-Naut eating cham
pion of this state who consumed about
thirty pounds of the kraut along with
countless wieners and other accessories
at one sitting. Then we have the fell
lows who sit on flag poles in the in
terestS Of humanity and strengthen
l44C l1lCO4s l44dl Oh A14C41 WO1C
at one time and that some of them
have not gotten over it. The latest is
the tree-sitting birds who are eStab-
fishing world records which mean
nothing more than that Puck was right
when he said, What fools these NOR
tails be-" Two years ago it was con-
Sidered the thing TO dance yourself
into epilepsy for a record. Then some
fellow drank barrel of coffee more
than some other fellow could drink.
These records will stand for the very
reason that life is too short to tempt
any one TO break them. One would
naturally suppose that in this time OF
depression in the labor market in the
large cities someone could be found TO
put on any kind of a moneymaking
stunt Without a doubt there are
plenty who would sit on tree or flag
pole or eat sauer kraut Indefinitely
if there was some money connected
Herewith but spectators must be had
al so much per "spect'' and here is
the rub. The ordinary mortal is too
busy trying 10 make both ends meet
and pay for gas to keep the car run
ming, to pay TO see someone make an
ass or hog Of himself just to establish
a meaningless record.

TWO DEATHS LAID
TO HEART FAILURE
TWO ELY RESIDENTS sUCCUMB
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY-HEART
FAILURE GIVEN AS THE CAUSE
SUPERINDUCED BY THE EX-
CESSIVE HEAT
Everett RemeS.

Everett Remes, 48 years of age, a
resident of this city for the past
twenty years, died suddenly Saturday
at about o'clock of heart failure
supposedly helped by the SO in the
shade weather of that day. Remes
has been a sufferer with a weak heart
for several years. Saturday he was
walking along Sheridan Street near the
RoSenbloom corner when he went to
the side of the building for the shade.
He sat down and was seen to slump
over. Those going to his assistance
found him dead.
The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon from the Laing Undertaking
Parlors, Rev. Anti Lepisto officiating.
The funeral was attended by the Z. R.
Lodge of which he was member.
He is survived by his widow.

catastrophes.
Some people lay everything to the
tourist and claim that the itinerant
traveller is the cause by being careless
with tobacco, matches and camp fires.
We are not so sure of that. 1t has
been common knowledge in this section
Of the wooded country, and the facts
are substantiated by the forest officers,
that the larger number of destructive
fires which have created havoc in the
past years were the result of fishermen
and berry piokers. It has been shown
that fires start along trout streams and
in inaccessible places where the tour
isa does not travel. Besides, the tour
ist, travelling along the road IN his car,
has been known to stop and fight fires
Tightening is also the cause Of many
fires The coffee cooker" gets large
share of the blame.
ssss
When it is considered that very few
fires start along the roadsides, the
JOul lSl - AiOS b4iC SdASC. &ScAA"
roads have been held responsible for
many of the forest fires but the fellow
who goes into almost inaccessible
places and who feels that the country
is so large that a few acres, more or
less, burned over will not be missed,
is the main offender. Ihe forest SER
vice is trying to build fire trails
through tn forest in order to get
rapid dispatch for fire fighting crews.
With the system of trails and the fine
system of fire location by means Of
towers coupled with airplane service,
the government is making every effort
TO combat the menace. Like the prize
fighter who works on the theory that
the first blow decides the battle, the
government believes that rapid trans
portation to the scene of the fire is
what counts. This is proven almost
every day when fires are reported and
crews are dispatched in a short time
by means of more rapid transportation
where in years gone by it required as
much as "a hours to reach fire by
canoe and portage route.

Forest fires are menace. In per-
iod OF ten years, between 1916 and
1926, an average of 81 ,021 forest fires
occurred each year, entailing an average
destruction Of property TO the value Of
$50, ,994, GIG. Fires, wiping out timber
over broad areas cause the extinction
of wild life, radical changes in climate
and damage to agriculture. 1t re-

EXTEND SEARCH
FOR MAN Who
KILLED PARENTS
Photos and Fingerprints of
Paul Brown Sent
Over Nation.

Nationwide search for Paul
Brown, Nashville (Ind) parent
killer, was instituted today by Chief
E. L. Osborne of the Indiana crime
bureau.
Six hundred and fifty photo
graphs, finger prints and descrip-
tons of the former Purdue student
are being sent broadcast to police,
sheriffs and criminal bureaus in the
forty-eight states.
Meanwhile supposed clews to
Browns whereabouts continue to
come to the bureau, Osborne said,
and each report is being investi-
gated carefully.
Latest call came from southern
Indiana sheriff, who reported that
Brown was said to be in hiding in
the hills.
Brown fed from the parental
farm near Nashville, Ind, a week
ago Monday after shooting his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Brown, and
burning the house down. He also
wounded Chester Bunge, a hired
hand.
First motive for the crime was
the theory that Brown, who is q
and working on a radio invention
was insane. But finding of $4,000
buried on the place and the belle.
that he may have escaped witt
$4,000 to $4,000 more has causec
the insanity idea to be abandoned

with Maureen, but owing to the
popularity of the marriage laws of
1880, his rival, Kenneth Thompson,
has been successful in winning the
girl.
However, Garrick has the right
to appeal, which he takes. His
friend, Frank Albertson, consoles
him the best he can. Frank, it
seems, is too much in love with Mar
jorie White to understand any one
else's troubles, and this situation
proves to be one great laugh after
another.
The picture is novel in its theme
and represents a tremendous task
in building De Sylvia, Brown and
Henderson'S conception of New York
in 1880 as a background for the
story.

Early this morning the two brothers,

HOOVER AND PARTY
FISHING IN RAP|DAN
Group Gets Early Start for
Mountain Retreat, Leav-
ing at $50.

President Hoover with party OF
friends, among them Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, Governor of Porto Rico, are
today whipping the streams forming
the headquarters of the Rapidan River,
in quest of brook and rainbow trout.
In order to gain more time for fish,
ing, Mr. Hoover and his party left the
White House at $50 o'clock this morn
ing and were at the picturesque noun
tain camp by 10 o'clock. When the
President left he said it was his in
tention to return to Washington tomor-
row night.

Others in the party are Secretary of
State Stimson, Attorney General Mitch

The President had splendid luck fish,
ing at the camp last Saturday and he
was hoping that fortune would be with
him today. Fishing at the Presidents
camp is not countenanced on the Sab
bath, therefore there will be none of
that form of sport for the week end

spent in walking over the trails and
sitting and otherwise idling about the
camp.

Gov. Roosevelt, who has had ad-

Rico during the less than year he
has been there, is known to have been
especially pleasing to President Hoover.
The White House is said to recognize
that Col. Roosevelt has accomplished
great deal in short time. 1t is ex-
pected that the President will confer
with him at some length over the week
end regarding the affairs of Porto
Rico. Col. Roosevelt arrived in WASH
ington a week ago for the purpose Of
urging Congress to appropriate $1,000

the President to continue the rehabili-
