Greece for their inspiration. The
exquisite simplicity and artful grace
which marked the dress of Gre
clan women in the early centuries
has ever commanded the admiration
of the world. And now it seems that
we are to adopt them for our very own.
The media through which modern
fashionists will interpret classic art
in dress will be quality-kind satin,
soft heavy-textured crepe, regal velvet,
and from Paris comes the message Of

URGES PUBLIC To
CLEAN ROADS|DES
REMOVE RUBBISH, PLANT TREES,
BABCOCK ASKS-DEPARTMEN
WILL DO ITS SHARE-IN LINE
WITH RECOMMENDATIONS BY
THE ELY FORESTRY CLUB.

"Help us make the roadsideS of the
trunk highways attractive" is the sub
stance of an appeal made by G. M.
Babcock, commissioner of highways, to
owners of property fronting on the
trunk highways, and to civic organ
izations in towns located on the state
routes.
From all indications Minnesota will
have more tourists this summer than
ever before" Mr.. Babcock states.
Nearly all of them will come over
the trunk highways. They will judge
the state by what they see along the
roadsideS 1t will be well worth while
to give them a good impression Of the
state. But it will also give our own
people a greater pride in the state if
they see beautiful trees and shrubbery,
neat lawns, we'll kept houses and clean
roadsideS when they travel over the
trunk highways on their summer
trips
1.-THE Highway department will do
its part The maintenance men will
clean away all rubbish, cut weeds,
clean bitches and do everything else
they can to keep the roadsides neat
and attractive. But our power extends
only to the edge of the right-of-way,
and to make the roadside picture a
perfect picture, there is need for the
cooperation of property owners and
local officials.
There are many places where auto
mobile wrecks, tin cans and other rub
bish spoil the picture. The highway
entrances to some towns are anything
but attractive. A little cooperative eff
fort on the part of property owners,
civic clubs and local officials, will
quickly improve the situation.
after the rubbish and eyesoreS are
removed, the appearance can in many
places be further improved by proper
planting of trees and shrubbery. I'm
fortunately this is a matter in which
the Highway department cannot help.
Our right-of-way ranging from 33 to
so feet from the center of the road
way, is entirely too narrow for tree
planting. Trees planted too close to
the roads will cause drifts which will
block the road in winter. At curves
and intersections they would also OBJ
scure the view and tend to cause ac-
cidents. But if planted on private
property near the roadside, they will
help to keep the roads open in winter
and make them more attractive the
year around.
1--WE believe roadside Identification
pays. The town with neat boulevards,
lawns and parks fronting on the main
highways entering the municipality,
will get more of the tourists business.
Business men who cater to tourists
will profit by keeping their premises
clean and attractive. The state as
whole will profit if the visitors go
home with memories of beautiful road
Sides But whether we gain f1nan-
cially or not, we will have the salts

for the past eight years. dad" was
one Of the few printers of the old
school who are at present in the bus

the art preventative. He was one of
the founders of the Duluth News,
forty years ago. The News later be-

the time of his illness he travelled for
the Peyton Paper Co. and was one of
the most welcome visitors to the range

There are only few men like Dad"
Dean and when one passes away it
leaves void hard to fill. Besides
being good salesman, he was friend
to whom it was pleasure to turn
when something arose to vex the or
binary mortal and especially those in
the printing game. He was a good
citizen of Duluth and st. Louis county
and his faith in human nature was
unbounded. The printers of the ranges

Get Much Pike Spawn.

Reports from Pike river are to the
effect that the spawn gathering OPP
erations of the State Game and Fish
Commission has been most successful
up to this time. Last week end before
the cold weather set in, the fish were
coming up in droves, and the spawn
enough was taken in few days to fill
the hatchery to almost half its cap
acity. The colder weather, however,
slowed up the work to some extent.
The pike SO far taken are much larger
than ordinarily, according to Paul S.
Goodell, who is in charge of operations.

these have been given to the farmers

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
PLAINLY VISIBLE HERE.

The partial eclipse of the sun
scheduled for Monday was visible in
this vicinity during the entire period
from 1876 to 800 P. M. Eighty per-
cent of the suns expanse was cut off
caused by the passage of the moon
between the earth and the sun.
A few seconds after the eclipse
started there was very perceptible
notch in the sun which grew larger
until 200 o'clock, the middle of the
eclipse At that time the sun had a
crescent form.
Almost everybody in the city was
fortified with smoked glass or ex-
posed film with which to view the
eclipse. When it was at its height,

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

Again the Miner wishes to call at
tention to the matter of news and
advertising What newspaper calls
news is what is happening in the city
and elsewhere which reflects credit on
the city and its people. The Miner
has never considered sordid affairs as
news. 1t may be news to some but
to others it is only a heartbreak.
Advertising is anything which will
boost the game of some one to make
money, be it for institutions or in
dividuals Where money is the object
the newspaper should not be asked to
print long dissertations without pay.
The committees usually, which sells
the tickets, gets paid, the lunch is
paid for, the music is paid for, the
place of holding is paid for and adj
vertising should be paid for. Charit-
able objects are given all the pub
icity possible without pay.

Governor Christensen has come out
fiat footed against the Backus dam
matter on the border and in words
that cannot be misconstrued gave the
Forestry Association, before which he
spoke on Tuesday, to understand that
he would use every endeavor to block
the move insofar as it lay in his power.
In speaking of the reforestation pro-
position the governor said: ut is in
creasingly becoming my conviction
that if we are ever going to have re-
forestation in this country, the refor-
esting will have to be done by the
government. If timber shall ever be
grown to replace what has been cut
off and hauled away, the state and
not the individual citizens will raise
that timber"
The governors remarks on the tim
Der situation are timely. There is no
doubt in the mind of any thinking
person that the Forestry Department
of the government is the one to en-
trust with the raising and disposing of
timber. This applies directly to the
Superior National Forest and the
Chippewa National Forest, both of
what is known as the Sustained
yield" basis whereby only mature tim
Der is cut and provisions are made for
reseeding and replanting in cycles and
blocs.
Governor Christensen further stated
that " almost to a man, the people of
the State of Minnesota are unalterably
opposed to the Backus project and
are demanding the enactment of Fed
eral legislation to stop it," He also
intimated that the measures now
pending in Congress, (meaning the
Shipstead-No measures) would not
prevent industrial development. While
this is true, there are many people
in the state who feel that it is not
necessary to withdraw from "approp-
ration and entry" the vast territory
embraced in the bill in order to stop
the border project. Lake and Cook
counties and the extreme northern
end of st. Louis county are almost un-
animous in favor of the bill as it re-
CARDS the curbing of the Backus plan
but feel that the bill is taking in al
together too much territory.
Dispatches from Washington of Sat-
urday state that the Shipstead con-
servation bill as reported by the Senate
committee on public lands is sub
stantially identical with the Nolan bill
reported by the house committee with
the exception that the former eXempts
the Minnesota Power & Light Com
pany Gabbro and Bald Eagle lake pro-
ject from the provisions on the grounds
that it was inaugurated before the
Backus project was made the issue,
or prior to January 1, 1928.

FOUR CITIES CLAIM THEY ARE
BIRTHPLACE OF MOTHERS DAY.

Where and when did the celebration
of Mothers day originate? Since
this is one of the youngest" holidays
on our calendar, it would seem that
the answer to that question should be
easy because its origin is near enough
in the past to make it possible to
establish the exact date and place.
But the fact is that there is dispute
as to both date and place and no less
than four cities in as many states lay
claim to the honor of being the birth
place of Mothers day."
In this issue of the Miner appears
an illustrated feature article by Elmo
Scott Watson which presents the
claims of these cities. Read it and
judge for yourself which one has the
best right to the title.
