Save THE Waste.
and AID NEEDY.
Minnesota Posts and Units to
Harvest Otherwise Unused
Foodstuffs.

That a new opportunity for service
to the community, comrades, state anc
nation is facing the 48,5OO American
Legion and Legion Auxiliary members
of Minnesota, is the declaration OF
Oscar F. Youngdahl of Minneapolis
state Legion commander, in a message
just issued to the 478 Legion posts and
4O1 Auxiliary units of Minnesota.
ut may be summed up," he says, in
the slogan, save the waste and aid
the needy" Thousands of bushels OF
vegetables and fruits will go to waste
in the fields because of unsatisfactory
prices. The farmers of Minnesota will
welcome the cooperation of our Ameri-
can Legion posts and Auxiliary units
in having this food stuff used for a
worthy purpose"
Commander Youngdahl's message
suggests that Legion and Auxiliary
members in rural communities system
atically apportion their voluntary labor
to harvest this surplus and store it for
distribution to the needy during the
coming winter. This would include free
transportation of the harvested food
stuffs to central storage place The
details of whether the local relief agency
or the Legion should act as the dis
tributor is left to the discretion of the
local leaders.
AS usual" continues Commander
Youngdahl, Our American Legion
Auxiliary is ready with practical sug-
gestions and help. Mrs. Halsey D. Cory
OF Winona, state president, is asking
the members of her 401 Minnesota
units to perfect plans whereby all the
perishable foodstuffs may be canned
as they are harvested Each Legion
post and Auxiliary unit will work to-
gether on this phase of the problem"
That storehouse full of food and a
community fund to back it up, with
a supply of clean used clothing avail
able, will go far to make the emer-
gency relief problem in each Minnesota
community an easy one this winter, is
the belief of Commander Youngdahl
and Mrs. Cory, who as department
leaders, say in their message to posts
and units.

Magician Birch Gives
Fine Entertainment.

An enthusiastic audience greeted
Magician Birch at the Washington
Auditorium last evening where he ap-
peared under the auspices of Frank
Lozar Post of the American Legion
Birch proved most conclusively that
the hand is quicker than the eye and
completely mystified and baffled the
audience who watched every move
made by the talented performer.
Boys were called to the stage to as
sist the magician, and even these
youngsters we're as much mystified as
any person in the audience, events
happened so thick and fast, from
pulling yards of material and even a
rooster from the back of one lad,
slicing a young woman in four parts,
taking twelve alarm clocks from the
hat of a member of the audience, to
the vanishing of his pony Princess
in mid air.
A feature of the evenings program
was the presentation of Miss Mabel
Spery, who delighted with several
selections on the xylophone.
The entire performance was one of
the finest presented in Ely in some
time and to have missed it, was to
have missed real entertainment.

FREE WOOD ON
U. S. FORESTS
Government Extends Law Re-
garding Free Use of Dead
Timber.

Liberal extension of privileges under
the law governing free use of dead
and down timber in Federal forests as
an aid in solving the unemployment
situation is authorized by the United
States forestry service.
Permits to use dead and down timber
in government forests are usually is
sued to residents nearby, including
settlers, ranchers and miners. A
broader definition is now made under
the ruling, according to H. Basil Wales,
of Milwaukee, acting forester, who
authorizes local foresters to grant per-
mission to residents of cities and towns
who are in need of fuel and unable to
purchase it. The timber, however,
must not be sold.
I'VE should help the towns and COM
munities meet the situation, but we
want to interfere as little as possible
with the established wood and coal
business" states Mr.. Wales. He also
points out that all applications for per-
mits from residents of towns and cities
will be granted only after they have
been approved by city or county Off
Gals or authorized representatives of
charity or welfare bodies.
The liberalized plan to aid en-
ployment also includes a program to
cooperate with public officials or or
gained relief councils. This follows out
the program adopted in North Caro-
lima, Mr.. Wales outlines, where an
employment council has taken out a
permit and is giving employment to
men out of work. They cut the timber
and deliver it to nearby communities,
where the wood is sold for SIS a cord.
In return the men receive provisions
lasting week for three days work.
According to an ad in another place
in this paper the State of Minnesota is
also giving permission to use dead
timber from state lands. The timber
will be sold at nominal fee for cash.

Vein of Iron Ore
Found Near CLO0uet

Indications that a rich vein of iron
ore of grade which warrants further
exploration exists northwest of Clo-
quet, Mimi, were uncovered recently
by Prof. James A. Merrill, geologist, a
member of the Superior State Teachers
college faculty.
While it has not been fully ascer-
tanned, Prof. Merrill said, there is a
possibility the vein may be an ex-
tension of the Guyana range.
Prof. Merrill, recognized authority
on geology, made his preliminary sur
vey with R. R. Forward, of Duluth, and
complete report of his findings have
been made to Mr.. Forward.
The ore body, it was said, extends
over large territory, northwest of
Cloquet and southeast of Brookston.
However, it was announced, more study
will be made before test shafts and
pits are made to determine the value
of the find.
To complete his preliminary survey
Prof. Merrill spent the months of July
and August studying the property.

Aliens Offered Trips Home
At Governmental Expense.

Because OF the shortage of work and
for other economic reasons, the United
States immigration service now offers
destitute aliens free transportation
from this country to their native lands
The service is given to aliens who
have been in the United States less
than three years and who are in need
of public relief, according to A. b
Clegg, chief immigration inspector at
Duluth.
The transportation is not to be
claSed as deportation and there is
no stigma attached to it." Mr.. Clege
said. The government is doing it to
better the labor situation"
Applications for the transportation
are now being received, Mr.. Clegg
said. Several aliens already have been
sent to their native countries and
others are on the way, he said.

AIDING DROUGHT
RED CROSS drive
Fem Federation are Sending
Donations Through Red
Cross Chapters.

The American Red Gross and the
Minnesota Farm Bureau are working
together in a drive for food and
stricken farmers of Montana and North
Dakota, it was announced today by A.
j. Olson, president of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau, and George c. Smith,
Red Cross official in charge of relief
solicitation in Minnesota.
The fine work done by the Minnesota
Farm Bureau and its county afiIiates
last year caused the Red Cross to turn
again to the federation for aid in the
present crisis, Mr.. Smith said He urges
all rural people who have food and
clothing to spare to notify the county
agent or Farm Bureau officers, who
will work with the local Red Cross
chapters in the drouth relief drive.
The Red Cross has made ARRANGEMENTS
with the railroads whereby donations
will be shipped free Of charge to the
stricken areas. Red Cross units on the
receiving end will attend to distribu-
ton.
1T is imperative that generous do
nations of food and clothing be made
at once, before winter adds to the
misery of the thousands Of cropless
farmers, Mr.. Smith asserted. If you
can give today as well as later, please
do so. and your contribution viii De
OF especial value" the Red Gross
leader said.
Farm Bureau officials urge that al
donations be made through the Red
Cross. 1t is immaterial, they say,
whether relief supplies are given
through the local Farm Bureau Office.
The main thing is to get the material
to the Red Gross, which stands alone
In point of service to suffering
humanity. 1t is especially important at
this time that all donations be routed
through the Red Gross, because OF the
danger that supplies placed through
other channels may not be used as the
donors intend. When donations are
made through the organization there IS
no danger of profit to anyone, except
to the drouth-stricken farmer, Mr.. OIL
son declares.

No Boat House to
PrOtrude on the Water.

No lighthouses are to be built out
over the water of lakes from lands on
which the state of Minnesota has issued
summer home leases, according TO
Grover M. Comet, commissioner of
forestry and fire prevention. This re-
gulation has been in force for some
time, but was found to have been vio-
lated, perhaps ignorantly, by the Lessee
OF state owned island in BURNSIDE
lake, when Commissioner Comet was
there recently. Orders were issued for
the moving Of the boathouse back on
the shore, where it will be screened
by trees. Ramps, lading down to the
water, will be permitted, Mr.. Comet
said.
The regulation is intended to pre-
serve the beauty of the shoreIines.

Sees Russia as Big
Farm Competitor,

First hand information about Russia
as a possible competitor to this and
other countries in the worlds agricul-
tural markets is now available to the
farmers of Mimi, through the return
of H. G.. zavoral to University Farm,
st. Paul, after year of leave, during
which he advised the Soviet govern
ment in its gigantic efforts to replace
the livestock killed by farmers at the
inception of the communistic regime.
Mr.. Zavoral, well known livestock
specialist of the Minnesota agricultural
extension service, resumed his duties
in the state on October 1.
In its Five-Year plan for economic
reconstruction, the Soviet Republic has
set up the most ambitious program
ever attempted by any nation, Mr..
Zavoral says, and is pushing towards
its goal with ruthless determination.
Nothing is being spared in the effort
to accomplish almost impossible things.
Not even human suffering is being al
lowed to interfere with progress. The
common people are being denied every
thing but the barest necessities in order
that the Soviet may sell its products
abroad to pay for machinery needed in
the new economy of large scale
methods.
Already, Mr.. zaverl says, the in
fluence of Russia's agricultural exports
is being felt in world markets, and the
effects are likely to be felt increasingly
with the completion of the Five-Year
plan in 1888. If the present regime
continues, exports will increase rapidly.
Because of the low returns allowed for
labor, Russia will be able to underseu
other nations even in their own mar
kets, he predicts.
Russia is to be admired for having a
definite plan for national DEVELOPMENT.
and its people deserve great credit for
their heroic efforts to accomplish it.
Mr.. zavoral thinks. Nevertheless, he
says, his year in Russia has made
him a prouder and more devoted citi-
zen of the United States and he is
more than delighted to be back in
Minnesota.
