POPLAR USED
FOR MATCHES
Minnesota Matches Success
fully Compete With Soviet
Brand.

Strike-on-the box matches are now
being made in the Minnesota Arrow-
head country in successful competition
with dumping by Soviet Russia and
with the products of the Swedish
match trust as a result of the tariff
protection given in 1890, says George
Perham of the Arrowhead Association.
In an interview with Herbert Dickman.
manager of the Berst- Forster ixfield
plant at Cloquet, it was learned that
the plans of the company are now eff
fective and it is now possible to keep
their entire crew steadily employed.
In releasing this information, Mr.. Dick
man let it be known that this is the
first public information given out on
the successful outcome of the new de-
velopment.
Timber in four feet lengths and I'D
Is purchased from ~ small jobbers and
farmers who deliver it by truck and
rail from radius of 80 miles.
The timber used for making these
matches Is the aspen or poplar, the
tree which more than any other has
replaced the original stand of timber in
the northern lakes area Aspen is
growing very rapidly. Its use repre-
sentS the utilization of what has been
considered weed tree" The de-
velopment here recomted forecasts an
extensive increase in industry based on
perpetual supply of timber as en-
visioned by those promoting the for
estry movement in Minnesota. Di-
versification as exemplified in the new
match industry means steady employ
ment OF labor and a steady market for
raw materials.
valuable support in raising the match
tariff to a scale where it would afford
sufficient protection was given by Con-
gresham William E. Pittenger in 1923
and 1890 as a result of the facts being
laid before him by the Minnesota Ar
rowhead Association Mr.. Pittenger
gave the matter his usual prompt at
tention and was able to enlist other
congressional members in the proposal.
Had this action not been taken, no
matches of this character would now
be manufactured in the United States.
The present tariff of 20 cents per gross
OF boxes, while still insufficient, allows
the Cloquet plant a market in the
central part of the nation, which other
wise would go to the foreign product.
The st-Forster-D ixfield plant. in
the past known as the tooth pick plant,
located at Cloquet in 1916, largely
through the efforts of Fred D. vibert
OF that city, thereby moving the manu-
facture of tooth picks from Saginaw,
Michigan. It employed 100 people
making the tooth picks and gradually
added meat skewers, clothespins of
the common form and wire bound.
physicians supplies and other similar
articles. These articles were made from
birch.
In 1928 the management expert
mented with aspen for matches, cul-
minating in the present successful
operation Of that product. The Rus
sian competition coming up suddenly
was very discouraging but the men back
OF the enterprise had faith and with
the cooperation extended by public men
attained their goal.

OUR BROTHERS KEEPER
Los Angeles Times)

This period through which the world is strug-
Cling is more than an economic crisis. 1t involves
more than study of strategic plans to ambuscade
the dollars which fed
Humanity itself is on trial. The civilization
which we have evolved is undergoing the supreme
test.
If there is such thing as brotherhood among
men, now is the time to show it.
Drunk with wealth, we have strayed long
way from the fundamental and eternal truth. We
have been living in house stuck upon golden
stills. And it has crashed.
In our agony and suffering we have discovered
that Jesus Christ meant what he said. The Golden
Rule was not pleasant homily intended for re-
ward-of-merit cards with silk fringe on the edges
and diamond dust shining on the snow scenes. 1t
was a simple statement of the eternal law, the
same law that keeps the stars in the skies and the
world turning on it's axis.
We speak of breaking the law and command
ments. You can break them; but they break you.
"Love one another was more than an admoniton
to light the path of virtue. 1t was the statement
of an eternal principle upon which all law, all
philosophy all business all ethics, all civilization
rests. Like all the doctrines left by the Christ,
this was the sublimity of common sense-the fin
ality of practicality-the only sure foundation
upon which civilization can rest.
During these money-glutted years we have
tried each to go our way alone. Years of
greed and money lust have ended with this terrible
lesson That wealth evaporates and leaves men
stark and with naked hearts
1t is for us to see that this terrible rebuke has
not been in vain. For us to see that we rebuild
the fallen structure the rock of brotherhood
This winter will be period that calls for all
men to have fortitude, strength and sympathy
1t is, for once clear to the dullest mind that we
can only help ourselves by helping Others
Out of this period of REIMBURSEMENT we can
regain our souls 1t can be better world because
of this period of hunger and sorrow; stronger
America and sounder civilization if it brings to
us realization given the privilege of being
our brothers keeper.
The remedy for our financial crises lies not
in laws, federal commissions, in panacea or fnan-
cal errors.
The sound and practical answer was told two
thousand years ago in sermon spoken on noun
tain in Palestine.

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

Things will right themselves
after due time and we will
start all over again. While
the previous ones we will name
were somewhat American, the
one we now find ourselves in
is worldwide. All have righted
themselves and this one will
also, but when? The Chicago
Daily News gave a list re-
Gently which reads as follows {:
There was a business de-
preston in 1857 lasting II
months.
There was a business de-
preston in 1869 lasting 8
months.
There was a business de-
preston in 1873 lasting 80
months.
There was a business de-
preston in 1884 lasting %
months.
There was a business de-
preston in 1887 lasting 10
months.
There was a business de-
preston in 1893 lasting 25
months.
There was a business de-
preston in 1903 lasting rs
months.
There was a business de-
preston in 1907 lasting IL
months.
There was a business de-
preston in 1914 lasting 8
months.
There was business de-
preston in 1921 lasting IA
months.
Some of our readers re-
member the one of 1878.
Many remember the one of
1898 most wildly. The one
of 1914 was going along we'll
towards a complete shutdown
in this section when the World
War came along and started
things going the other way.
The initiation of farm values
in 1921 caused furry thru
out the land which lasted ID
months. Those to which we
have called attention, hit this
section of the country along
with other parts of America
while some of the others did
not affect us in the mining
district as hard as it did in
other sections. All were felt
however. Noted economists
are emphatic in the statement
that the depression has reached
the low level and is gradually
working upwards. In support
of their views they ask us to
look at the daily reports of
activities in the business world.
There is no excuse to want
while we have a surplus of
everything. The surplus is
blamed for being a contribut-
ing factor. This seems rather
far fetched when we consider
that we have surplus of every
thing but work. We surely
have a surplus of pessimism
and the editorialist of the Du-
luth News Tribune said a
mouthful when he wrote in
his Tuesday columns:
"Pessimistic talk is a pys-
Geological factor which DOM
mates the economic crisis. 1t
spreads distrust, fear and lack
of confidence. 1t keeps in
dustry and business from eX-
panding and progressing, and
it keeps people from spending
Hard-time talk has been eX-
aggerated and unreasonable.
There is little justification for
the pessimistic view so freely
expressed that times are get
ting worse instead of better,
and that conditions have not
yet reached the low point.
There is enough of everything
in this land of plenty. Even in
the depression there has been
no shortage. But pessimistic
talk has been at least partly
responsible for the fact that

 Fresh clean water should be ac- cessible to the foxes at all times, whether supplied by streams on the island or placed in dishes. Quantity and Frequency in Feeding
 The quantity of feed supplied de- pends entirely on the season of the year and the age, appetite, and con- dition of the stock. Foxes should be fed fairly heavily just before the breeding season, so they will be in good, vigorous condition. Some Forced feeding has a tendency to make the fur prime sooner than 1t would be naturally, but the advis- ability of practicing this Is ques- tionable, because in many cases the fur thus becomes prime before the skin.
 Appetite is a good index to feed ing, and the quantity of feed sup piled should be regulated So that the foxes will remain active and show an eagerness to eat
 In the early days of island fox farming few, if any, of the ranch CTS fed their animals, and the foxes were compelled to forage for their food, living on rodents, birds, and such material as they could find on the beach. While such prac- tices resulted in small filters and

Ugh School Seniors
Demonstrate Ability
cit Happened in June" Present
ed Last Friday Night Before
a Large Audience

The Senior Class play, "It Happen
ed in June" which was presented be-
fore large and enthusiastic audience
at the Lincoln School auditorium Fri
day evening, May 1, was a clever
comedy drama in three acts. Each
part was well taken and the members
of the cast deserve much credit for
the excellent portrayal of their roles.
The action conferred around Charlie
Atkins who had been sent by his
father to the little village of Shady
Grove to be Kept out Of mischief and
to be tanned down. Incidentally he
had been requested by an uncle, own
er of large chain Of grocery stores,
to force rival store in the village
out of business. Charles discomfit-
ure was complete when he, discovered
that Betty Bronson with whom he
had fallen in love was not only the
person delegated to superintend his
tanning but was also the owner Of the
Shady Grove Grocery Store, which he
had promised to destroy. However,
after many amusing situations had
been worked out, the story came to
most satisfactory ending.
The cast was as follows: Betty
Bronson, owner Of the store, Arlene
Sampson; Susie Crundell, her dearest
friend, Marjorie Martin; Nell Crun-
dell, Marcella Miller; Mollie Jessop,

Rural Schools Have
State Exams Soon
School Terms Come to Close in
Five Districts, Others
Finish May 20

Five of the 116 rural and semi
graded schools of Redwood county
have closed, nearly all other dis
tricts will not finish their terms until
May 20, said county superintendent
C. D. Clipfen.
With state examinations coming
May % to 81, there will be a lapse Of
several weeks for the students who
finished their studies last week. which
is not the most desirable, said Mr..
Cipfell.
Previously rural schools had state
examinations sometime in March, but
the state changed the law so that
only one examination is given now,
and that in May, at the end of the
school term.
Eventually it is hoped that rural
and semi-graded schools are conduct
ed on the nine-month basis. Super
intendent Clipfell said that it placed
a handicap on the country student in
entering high school who has had
only seven and eight months school
work in grade education.
If the eight month schools would
start later in the fall, so that the
term closed after the state examina-
tions, then it would be better for
students required to write these tests
necessary for determining entry to
high schools.

Mud Pumps Repair

COst-FOrces Mud Under
Sagging Slabs

A mud pump which forces dirt un-
der pressure under concrete pave
ments has been put in operation this
spring by the Minnesota highway de-
partment, which is expected to re-
move many of the Says and dips
formed where the sub-grade under
the pavement has settled.
The only remedy until now was to
tear up and rebuild the slab where
the worst Says occurred. The new
machine mixes water and earth until
forming mushy mass, which is
forced by q pump through 2 inch
holes drilled In the concrete. The
pressure raises the slab to the requir-
ed Iesel.
This new method is done without
blocking traffic. Cement added in
proposition of / to Is helps settle the
matexial and hold it in place. The
machine was invented in Iowa and
was accessibility used by the state
highway department last year.
Minnesota by waiting at least one
and preferably two years between
grading and paving, has had less
