PROTECT FORESTS
SIGNS PLACED
MINNESOTA FOREST SERVICE HAS
PLACED ATTRACTIVE SIGNS
ALONG HIGHWAYS ADVISING
MOTORISTS TO PROTECT THE
FORESTS.

Along the highways of northern
Minnesota the State Forest Service has
posted about 5000 Indian tepee-shaped
signs.
The signs are plea to the travellers
and the citizenry of the community to
do their part in the preservation of the
North Woods. The destruction, both
by repated fires and extensive logging
has reduced the productivity of the
20, 100000 acres and created a serious
condition.
The depletion of the forests has
forced lumber concerns to import from
rs to 80 percent of the lumber sold
from the town lumber yard. The
people who buy lumber are paying over
$30,000,000 year in freight.
The destruction of forests has taken
from the forest game animals and fur
bearers the natural conditions which
they must have to live and propagate.
The depletion of game and fish has
been the result of destroying the forests
and waters more than the amount
which the hunters and fishermen take.
The tourist business is built up en-
tirely on the attractive scenery and
lakes Forest denudation not only des-
troys the scenery but also has indirect
effects upon water supplies which in
turn controls lake and stream flow
and levels.
The Forest Service "Tepee" sign re-
minds the people of all these uses and
benefits from the forests. It is the
people who suffer when the forests
burn, and they pay the costs and losses
of forest destruction.
The message of the sign, is" Pro-
tect the forests from every kind Of
destruction"

of the appointment OF Bruce O
Strachan as general superintendent OF
the Oliver interests on the Vermilion

IONA, has met with the general ap-
proval of the numerous friends Of Mr.
Strachan in this city and elsewhere
Bruce has held the position of assist
ant superintendent under Supt. Ire
IONA since 1919. Strict attention to the
duties of the position merited the pro-
motion and his training as mining
engineer and the practical experience
gained as assistant to Capt. Trezona,
in every way fits him for the re-
SponSible place to which he has been
named. He is receiving the congratu-
lations of his host Of friends and OF

The Oakland Motor Company will

vertising campaign beginning Aug

preparation the company is stressing
the value of advertising. What is
good for the goose is good for the

fitable. Smaller concerns might emu

paign we will use newspapers, maya

however, will carry the flag. The bulk
of the huge appropriation will go into

A farmer in writing to one of the
Duluth papers scored the tax absurdity
when he said: IF have 500 in cash,
I pay 80 cents on it. If I take the s100
and buy a COW, I am taxed $780,"
This is not ALL We can tell him a way
to get Shet of even the 80 cent pay
ment. Just, don't tell anyone you have
the money. Hundreds and thousands
throughout the state do it this way.
1t was for this that the money and
credits tax was established, but the
only thing this has done was to force

Skillings' Mining Review tells of a
cargo of merchandise delivered at the
port of Chicago on July 81 from
Sweden which consisted of the follow
ing: 712 tons barbed wire; 80 tons
steel channels; 80 cases sardines; one
case scientific apparatus and one case
of printed matter. The cargo came
through from Antwerp, Belgium, with
out rehandling enroute. After I'M
loading, the boat went to Michigan for
load of copper. The cargo from
Sweden was delivered to a chain store
company or chain store companies.
This item probably does not mean
much to the casual reader but it in
dictates whole lot more than what
is noticed on the surface.

Bill McEwen of Duluth, newly ap-
pointed chairman of the state con-
Servation commission, in his address
to the Arrowhead Association at Esh-
quaguma Thursday stated his appoint
ment to the Craftsmanship of the COM
mission was unsolicited and comment
ing on this we will say that the ap-
pointive powers picked the proper man
for the place. He further stated his
attitude by saying that duration of
service of employees in the various de-
partmentS under the control of the
state conservation commission will be
dependent entirely upon their efficiency
and conscientious performance of duty
and will not in any way be effected by
political maneuvering" He also solicit
ted the cooperation of the citizens in
the work and thought that this would
remedy many of the Objectionable con-
ditions which have heretofore been
manifest in the operation of the sew
eral departments making up the con-
servation interests Of the state.
ssss
If this can be done, we want to state
that Billy McEwen can do it. He
has for years been noted as fighting
the battles of the laboring man and of
the deposed appointees which came as
the result of change in administra-
ton. He has an idea that good work
should merit an appointment and not
the "wardhealing" efficiency to secure
votes for the head of the department
with the appointive power. If he can
make it go, he has the right bunch.
We also believe that he will make good
in this resolve and if political inter-
ference with his duties is encountered,
he will put up battle that will be
recognized as such. He starts out on
the right foot in tune with the music

With the warehouse at the Mime
sofa Steel Plant at Morgan Park
loaded to the ceiling with barbed wire
and manufacturers just aching for a
chance to supply steel, it seems strange
that the chain retailer who relies on
the American public to buy it, could
not have purchased the stuff nearer
home. Even the buying public COM
plains when America is not prosperous.
Even the 80 cases of sardines," COM
mentS the Review, could have been
purchased in Maine, if the industry
there had not been ruined by foreign
competition"

BANK SEEKING
new TRIAL In
ACTION ON NOTE

Contending evidence was insuffi-
Gent to justify the verdict, and the
court erred in permitting introduc-
Jion of certain evidence by the de-
fendant and ss-complaint, the
Citizens State Bank yesterday af-
ternoon filed notice of intention TO
move for a new trial in its suit
against George W. Damron.
Judge A. C. Fipney in this case
several weeks ago returned a judg-
ment for the bank of $4,000 against
Damron, but also returned a judg-
ment for $4,000 in favor of Damron
against the bank on his cross com
plant.
The bank first sued on a promis-
sorry note. Damron filed a cross
suit charging the bank unlawfully
turned S4950 of his account over to
r. N. Burgess. and later took the
$50 of the account for
interest Judge Finney upheld this
contention. while finding Damron
cWed the bank $4,000 on a promis-
sorry note.
In the motion for new trial the
bank takes exception to the find
ing of Judge Finney the bank paid
Burgess. without authority. the
1880, and "wrongfully applied $50
to the interest
