Enlargement of Chippewa
And Superior Nat. Forests

The Chippewa and Superior National
Forests of Minnesota will be enlarged
by nearly $500 acres, according to
ltelegraphic reports received today from
E. w. Tinker. Regional Forester, from
the National Forest Reservation Com
mission at the close Of a meeting,
August %.
The Chippewa ownership has been
increased by 1884 acres, and the Su-
perior by 242,584. About $40 acres were
added to the Mesaba.
.This is the first time in the history
of the Forest Service that mass man
power has been available, and no ef-
fort is being spared to redeem the
trust reposed in this organization" Mr..
Tinker said. Values are being mea-
s1,red more in terms Of human welfare

values, however intangible, are rec

planning.
The Chippewa is known in forestry
circles as a self contained and self
supporting Forest. 1t Is equipped to
carry on every step of reforestation,
from the collection Of cones. through
the extraction of seeds, and on to the
planting of seedlings on the badly
burned areas.

Springfield-New Ulm
Trip Made By Canoe

From Springfield to New Ulm
by canoe via the big Cottonwood
river in single day was the inter-
esting experience of Kenneth and
James Schmidt last Saturday.
The boys left Springfield at 5 a.
m. and at 9 p. m. after 16 hours
of padding arrived at the Alvin
bridge four miles south of New
Ulm.
While the distance to New Ulm
figures about 80 miles as the crow
flies, it is estimated that the boys
actually travelled rs miles because
of the bends in the stream. Over
80 wire fences were encountered
on the way and about an equal
number of rapids, many of which
they could not shoot the canoe.
but had to get out into the water
and let the canoe slide down while
they held it in check with a rope.
They saw few people along the
route and depended on bridges for
knowledge of their location. On
reaching the Alvin bridge thew
went to a farm house and phoned
to their parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Fremont Schmidt who were visit
ing friends in New Ulm, who went
to the farm and took the bows
home. 1t is believed to be the first
time that the trip was made bv
canoe in a single day.

Hail Damage Felt
In Parts of County

Dreaded hail, the worst menace
to crops at this stage, swept
through a small section of Red
wood county near Clements and
Gilfillan last Wednesday, with
damage to small grain estimated
from 40 per cent to total.
Other sections of the county re-
ported heavy rain and some hail
fell in several places, particularly
near Vesta, but the biggest loss
was reported in Paxton and Three
Lakes which had the county's best
crops last year.
A strip a mile and half wide
through section Sc and part of 35,
mostly Gilfllan farms in Paxton
township, was beaten down to a
total loss in small grain. On the
DR.. A. Asleson farm two miles
northwest of Clements, the hail
took out a strip of grain for a 40
per cent loss. There were total
losses in some fields about five
miles north of Clements.
Accurate estimates of hail dam
age are difficult to make until sew
eral days after a storm, it was
pointed out, and early reports are
often exaggerated.

Death Brings First
Reunion Of Family

An unusual fact coincident with
the funeral of Mrs. C. S. Perrine
at Sherburn recently, was that for
the first time in the life of the
Perrine family all of their ten
children were assembled at one
time. Owing to older members of
the family marrying and leaving
home quite early and because Of
changes in residence, it had so
happened that all had never be-
fore been together until united for
the final rites of their mother.
The ten children, in company
with the father, had a group pic
ture taken in accordance with the
wish often expressed by the moth
er. The group was arranged so
that a picture of Mrs. Perrine
seated in rocking chair and tak-
en- on Mothers Day, this year can

Government used to be considered

luxury which more and more people
are beginning to feel they cannot af-

inexorable law of cause and erect
