in 1927 and has been enforced each
year since. It was designed to pre-
vent trespass and theft of trees from
private or state land, and has the
hearty support of all legitimate oper-
atorS.
The annual cut necessary to meet
the demand amounts to approximately
one and one-quarter million trees.
About one-third of this cut is used by
Minnesota citizens, with approximately
100000 trees being shipped out of the
state.
Over-production and smaller demand
during the 1880 season created a waste
of trees estimated between one-quarter
and one-third of the cut. Ideal fall
weather and an unusually large number
of unemployed men contributed to the
over production. LeSSened buying
power of the public made smaller
demand.
Weather conditions during November
and the first half of December will have
a certain amount of control over the
woods operations this year, but the
market will remain similar to last year,
it is predicted.
Persons intending to buy, cut or sell
Christmas trees are urged to familiarize
themselves with the regulations Fur
ther information can be secured from
the Division of Forestry Office, Old
State Capitol, st. Paul, or from any
of the district rangers.

Under a presidential proclamation the
season which opened on October LIST,
came to a close on the date set. It
was hoped that the president would
grant an extension, especially in the
northern tier of states. Fish and Game
Commissioner Stewart had seen the bad
break the hunters were getting and
asked the higher powers for an ex-
tension of the shooting season. With
the closing of the season on Saturday,
the weather took decided turn in favor
OF winter and killing frost was ex-

that the flight will start with the first
touch of winter, liable to come along

Good Times and Old Times

by
Notwithstanding the period of depression
which has engulfed every section of the country
within the past several years, there still
who can, or fancy they can, catch glimpse OF the
silver lining of this dark cloud of business adj
versity.
Thanks we say, to those citizens who have faith
in the future These are the folks who keep things
moving. Faith is wonderful virtue and the lack
of it would have long since wrecked the nation,
yes the world, and possibly the civilization which
those who have lived in 1881 to witness would have
dropped completely into collapse. Sometime, and
possibly it is not many months away, there will be
a return to normal condition; factories will be
running full time once more, money will find it's
way back into the channels of commerce and trade,
and the dinner pail which has in some sections
been empty will once more be filled.
Even with the hardships which many have
undergone it is doubtful if there any who would
like to the order of things turned back thirty
more years and new start made from point
that far back in the past There has been talk,
and lots of it recently, of burdensome taxes of ex-
travagance in government and lack of confidence
in the business world. Yet no one would want to
see conditions as they were thirty years ago. Let
your memory back over the period of the
ushering in Of the COS. How many automobiles
were there in this county? How many miles of i'm
proved highways? How many homes had radio
VI oodSCeu OF al electric refrigerator! HOW many
housewives used vacuum cleaners or prepared
meals by electricity gas?
While there are those who talk of the return
of the good old days and times, how many people
living today and who have experienced the
pleasures of modern inventions would want to for
get about those conveniences as though they never
existed and return to the methods of the so called
good old days? Few, if any, venture, would
agree to such thing. Let us rely on that faith
that has builded the greatest nation in the world
to bring us out of the present chaotic conditions
and return to better times well as good times.

CHRISTMAS
Tree LAWS
No Changes in Cutting and
Harvesting of Christmas
Trees.

Laws governing the harvest and
transportation of Christmas trees with
in the state of Mime ota will be the
same as previous years, according to
the statement issued by Grover M
Comet, Director of Forestry.
These regulations are:
The person cutting trees on land
which he does not own must have a
written permit from the land owner.
Persons transporting trees by truck
must carry this permit, to be exhibited
upon demand of any officer of the law.
A land owner cutting trees on his
land and transporting them himself,
should carry his October 81, 1881 tax
receipt with him
No trees can be cut from tax de-
linquent land.
The State does not sell Christmas
trees from state land
The permit referred to in the regu-
lations is a bill of sale from the land
owner, showing the legal description
of the land from which trees are cut,
the name of the legal owner and signed
by the owner. This form establishes
the ownership of the trees which are
being cut or transported.
The forest rangers wardens and
game wardens, any officer
of the law and officers of the Con-
servation Department have the author
ity to request the permit or to stop
a vehicle which may be carrying trees.
for investigation.
The Christmas tree law was enacted
