1 unit of the national home carefully and authentically reproduces the atmosphere and background of the average American household.
 The V. F. W. national home is the special pride and responsibility of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. Every penny l of the cost of it's establishment was | contributed through the activities i of the individual members and unit groups of our organization. Vari- ous V. F. w. state departments have purchased a number of houses and additional units are being planned by other state groups. The Ladies' Auxiliary recently puf- chased and equipped a beautiful $35,000 hospital unit, where the finest of up-to-date medical treat ment Is afforded the children of the home. The best educational facil- ities available are afforded the chil dren of school age, school buses conveying them to" and from tc grade and high schools of Ea.-.u Rapids each school day. Until the, reach the age of maturity. these sons and daughters of men who gave their lives or sacrificed their health and their independence ill defense of the United States of America, are assured of q homo and protection. In addition, they are being trained for Independence and self-support by the time they reach maturity.
 To date. this undertaking has en- joyed steady and gratifying devel- opment. The work has been car ried on since 1925, quietly and without ostentation or ballyhoo. There has been no attempt to com. mercialize on the memory of our honored soldier dead beyond our desire to acquaint the general pub lie with the manner in which q portion of the funds it contributes ! through the purchase >of buddy poppies each year goes toward the maintenance of this project. One penny from each buddy poppy sold annually is diverted to the V. r. W National Home for its support and continued development. Through the activities of our National Amer icanization department, and it's sale of historical volumes. another source of income from the Nation al Home has been created. All other funds necessary for it's main tenance have come from within the organization itself, in the form Of life memberships and contributions.

This is the story of lucky guy Who wished he knew much sooner That his voice the family laughed about Was to make him famous crooner. Time was when every one said In his youth, "shut up you're rotten, Back in the era of songs with sob You know like "The Rosary" and Forgotten" But now he's older and wiser, falsetto without benefit of study, A natural, as they say in the radio racket And to all the world real buddy. And though he's never studied note His voice is what they call hot At several hundred bucks week He gives a song all that he's got. This is the tale of crooner Whose dulcet tones lift to heaven, Tune in, folks, any old night You can always hear him at seven.

fire HAZARD
MOST SERIOUS
State Forest Ranger Erickson
of Tower Addresses Letter
to Loggers.

The following letter has been sent to
all timber operators in the district.
The letter explains itself and reads:
Tower, MINI, Feb. 26, 1884.
After the strong WIND storm of July
Goth, 1892, which passed over this VIC
Unity, there was left in its path, one
of the worst entanglementS of timber
blown down and fire hazards this
country has ever known. Along with
this serious destruction of timber some
of the settlers lost their barns and
other buildings or the roofs from them.
Through the Emergency Conservation
Works and Civil Works Administration
in cooperation with the U. s. Forest
Service and the State Forest Service
during the past year the task Of
cleaning up and reducing this serious
fire hazard has begun with the ex-
penditure of a vast sum of public
monies. The fire hazard cleanup has
ben along lake shores, trails, portages,
standing timber and roadSides. Not
only this but some OF the lumber COM
panies, private loggers, settlers and
other individuals were forced to put
in crews and log their timber so as to
salvage what they could before the pro-
cess of decay had reached the point
where the timber was no longer worth
for lumber and other pro-
ducts, but fuel wood. The logging of
this blown down timber cost consider
able more than logging standing timber
and as the market was low, a lot of
them lost money ON the work. Some of
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1934-03-02

the loggers had some standing timber
left to cut at the same time.
Now we have come to the point where
we have taken out most Of the timber
that was worth while at the present
time and what do we have left? We
have the second growth timber that will
in most cases thrive pretty fair, pro-
viding we are able to keep the fires
out. We also have ON our hands very
serious fire hazard with all this slash
left in the woods. What are we to do
about ita There is too much to pile
and burn and besides we have lost
money already on the job. The Forest
Service realizes the trouble the loggers
have had and when the Forest men
made their inspection of the slash areas
this past winter they tried to figure
out the best and cheapest method Cd
disposal and sent their notices out to
you. with this In mind.
The Forest Service asks your 100 PEI
cent cooperation in complying with the
slash disposal notices issued you and
the disposal of any other slash and
care with your fires the coming seasons
Let's all be conservation minded, keep
fires out and have some timber left in
our country for the future generations
so they may say we all used good
Judgment. Thank you.

District Ranger.

Half of States Highways
Dirt or Gr0UeL Surfaced.

More than half of MinneSota'S high
way system now consists of gravel or
dirt roads, says bulletin of the State
Highway department. Prior to the re-
cent expansion of the system, about
one-fourth of the trunk highways were
gravel or dirt, the remaining three
fourths being bitnminous treated or
paved.
This situation is shown by check
made by state highway engineers on the
1855 miles of county roads taken over
by the highway department this year.
Mileages of the various types OF road
now in the system are:
Untreated gravel, 5,043 miles; bitum-
inous treated gravel, $500; dirt roads,
S26; paved, 1855. This makes the total
mileage of the new system lila miles.
The total mileage before expansion was
6,759 miles.
OF the new roads taken into the
trunk system, 778 miles We're dirt roads,
$500 miles were graveled, 228 miles were
bituminous treated gravel and 40 miles
were paved.
It is estimated that the counties have
been spending more than 100000 a
year ON the 4,356 miles of roads added
to the state trunk system, according to
the highway department. This ex-
pense from now on will be met from
revenues of the state highway depart
ment, and will be lifted from the tax
burdens of the counties. Funds OF the
highway department were not increased
to meet the additional expenses, but,
ON the contrary, were severely de-
creased. The department spent less
than half as much money in 1888 as in
1882.

Some letters from home seem to in
dictate fear that the proposal to tax
certain oils in favor of the dairy in
terests may not be enacted. The bill
has not yet been reached for vote but
it is safe TO say that it will pass by a
heavy majority. Amy reasonable meas
ure intended to help the FARMER viii
pass.
The people of the cotton growing
states are demanding law which will
practically make reduction of cotton
production compulsory. They claim
that the cotton grower must be saved
from a price-destroying surplus and
that while ninety-five per cent of the
farmers play the game fairly, the other
five per cent cheat, with the result
that the screws must be put ON the
chiselers. We hope 10 avoid such dras-
tic measures as that, so, far as our
products are concerned. We believe
that our farmers have sense enough to
cooperate in order 10 secure benefits
for themselves.
While we are talking about farm re-
lief, let us not forget one of the most
important things to be considered is
reduction in the rate of interest. If
the average farmer could get away from
his interest load ne could face any
temporary adversely with a smile. He
can reduce his home tax load and ne
can be trusted to do that.
