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

State Forester Grover Comet told
the State Executive Council last week
that he needed more money for fire
fighting and the council granted him
an appropriation of $4,000 instead of
the $4,000 asked for. This was very
fine and showed that the council was
awake to the necessity of paying the
fire fighters at once and not a year or
more after as has been the case in
years gone by on several occasions.
However, in making this request, Mr..
Comet made statements which are
hard to believe in the face of existing
facts. He told the council that many
fires in Northern Minnesota have been
set by persons who wished to get en-
ployment in fighting them" This does
undergone the agony and heartbreak-
ing work of fighting forest fires and
which is about the hardest of any form
of employment to be had in this sec
ton OF the country and the poorest
paid. At Is cents per hour, it would
seem prepoSterous to even intimate
such thing. Those who have under
gone the experience of risk
ing their lives in the blazing forest,
cannot conceive of persons so low as
to set forest fire just for employment
at 25 cents per hour.
ssss
Forester Comet further stated that
he was considering reducing the
wages to Is cents per hour for extra
fire fighters in order to prevent setting
Of fires by men who wish to earn the
larger amount. In many cases extra
fire fighters have no choice in the
matter and are drafted by the authori-
ties for the work Fifteen cents an
hour will not pay the men for the
shoes they wear out, remove the Gin
derS and smoke from their eyes nor
compensate them in any manner for
their back-breaking efforts. There
may be some in this country who
would set fire in order to get 25 cents
an hour for fighting it, but we, who
have had nearly fifty years of exper-
fence as a resident OF inflammable
areas, do not believe it. Besides, we
do not believe Mr.. Comet had any
reason for making such statsments-if
he did make them.

 The writer has received numerous requests from players around the country who desire two table movement whereby they would be given the opportunity of playing with each of the other seven players as a partner and also the oppor- tunity of playing against each of the other players twice.
 There have been many move ments devised for two tables which allowed each player to play with each other player as a partner, but in most of these movements you will find that you are forced to play against some players four or five times while, others you never play against at all
 The following described movement gives you an opportunity of play with every player in the room as a partner and at the same time gives you the privilege of playing against each player twice. Before the start of the contest the hostess or one in charge shall designate a position at each table as North, East, South or West. She will assign a number to each player. Players must be very careful to take the proper position. At the end of each round Cor set of four hands) the hostess will an- nounce the positions to which each of the eight players shall move, as per the following chart:
