Aesop's story OF the satyr ami ;;;ls
Woodman is rctold with moral in re-
cent publication of the Rural EleCtrifl-
cation Administration.
No doubt YOU recall how the satyr,
upon meeting a woodman returning
home one cold evening, asked the man
why he blew upon his hands, and in re-
ply was told it was to make them warm
Upon reaching the woodmans cot
tage, the two sat down to hot porrldge,
and again the satyr questioned the man
as to why hv blew on his soup, and was
told that thereby ii was cooled.
Whereupon the satyr declared that
one who could blow both hot and cold
with the same breath must be bewitched
and he lett that place forever.
And, moralizes the publication III
terested in more electrified farms, de-
spite his very active imagination, Aesop
himself would believe the modern farm

electric swith, make heat or cold, pow

1Y DICK WOOD

G PORTSMEN are waking up to the
- fact the supply OF game is not going
to last indefinitely by letting Nature
take its course. Regulating game bags,
by state and federal laws is not enough
to insure plentiful supply for increas-
ing hordes of nimrods.
Game farming has long been a Gus
tom in Europe. ANY land owner, or
city sportsman fortified with shotgun
and hunting license costing 81 or less
can hunt i'll this country. but i'll Europe.
the average sportsman is comparatively
rich. There most hunting is done on pub
lie or private shooting preserves at con-
siderable fee.
Crane shooting cannot long continue
in this country for dollar Or two ex-
penditure for license half OF that sum
is spent on game law enforcement 1t
has long been done because the farmer
has produced game birds and animals
and willingly granted hunting rights to
city SpOrtSInen.
Hunting Necessary
In sonic sections, small game of va
riouS sorts thrive under natural cordi
tons, and need periodical hunting to
maintain a proper balance. An over
abundance OF squirrels or raccoon will
damage corn considerably. Doves, pleas
ants and wildtowl will make heavy in
roads OH grain in the shock. SO hunting
is often welcomed by farmers who lack
time to keep game i'll check.
Farmers who have considerable areas
OF waste land may profitably convert it
INTO game refugees. Ring-neck pheasants,
quail and ducks are easily raised for

stocking purposes. Some states are exper-
imenting with the guinea.
Ducks, when released, will leave with
the migratory flights, but other feather
ed game will remain on the farm, if
cover, roosting and feeding conditions
are satisfactory.
Quail should be raised to maturity
with a bantam hen, then be released III
good cover, adjacent to feed and water.
Commercially, quail are most economi-
Cally raised by the incubator brooder sys-
tenn.
Sportsmen May Aid
Pheasants may be released at 10 to IL
weeks OF age. Pheasants range similar to,
but less extensively, than turkeys.
Swamp land is best. Feed should be
planted i'll advance, if necessary, allow
ing an acre to each bird. Guineas will
range in more upland, brushy waste
land and will stand slightly more crowd
ing than pheasants.
Ducks and Canadian geese often will
remain or return to waters where they
are raised, thus aftording the raiser
some shooting. Ducks are almost inva~
riably released ior flights and the good
OF sp0rtsnen in general.
Whether the farmer is interested III
lettering his own shooting opportunities
or has III mind CommerCializing shoot
ing rights, he will find it profitable and
inexpensive to encourage game propaga-
ton on waste lands. A club may be form
ed of sportslnen who should gladly pay

ileges.

BEST ORES TO
LAST IS YEARS
Director Wildes Sees Depletion
of Rich Deposits on Ranges
in Given Time.

The exhaustion of high grade ore on
the ranges within 35 years is the predic-
ton made by F. A. Wildes, director of
the division of lands and minerals of
the Minnesota department of conSerVa-
ton, in an address to the Hibbing
Chamber of Commerce last week.
This, among other conditions, will
make necessary the development Of pro-
ceSSes for efficient and cheap benefica-
ton of ores low in iron content within
the next few years, he declared.
The situation was described as not at
all a gloomy one by the speaker, who
expressed great confidence that re-
latively short time will produce the
necessary means for utilizing the vast
deposits of low grade ore that remain
Conservative estimates by competent
researches have placed the tonnage of
low-content ores remaining on the
ranges at between fifty and 100 million
he stated.
Asserting that the state of Minnesota
occupies "one of the most stragetic 10
cations in the United States" he con-
sidered it highly possible that it might
become one of the worlds great steel
centerS.
In previous years. approximately 26
million tons of lean ore from state
owned mines were placed in stock piles
at his insistence, he said, going on to
state that should this stocked ore bring
only 10 cents ton, the work of piling
it will have been well worth the pay
ment

NO CHANGE IN
PWA PAY DAYS
Paw Rolls Will Continue to be
Distributed on 5th and 10th
of Each Month.

While the Office of Victor ChriStgau
state WPA administrator, is at work on
plans to give workers their pay checks
70 hours after the close of each pay
period for the immediate present, pay
rolls will continue to be distributed as
heretofore-on the 5th and Goth Of each
month, according to Henry l.. NORM
district director and w. G. Medium
nough, supervisor of finance and stat
isticS. This information was received
this week by j. w. Hejda, Virginia, in
charge of WPA operations in Northern
st. Louis County.
Announcement that there would be no
immediate change was made to satisfy
inquiries at the district office that are
being received from workers, business
men and project sponsors in all parts
of the district.
Sometime ago, when Washington and
st. Paul first undertook the problem OF
reducing the time between the end OF
a pay period and distribution of checks,
it was widely reported that March
would be the effective date. Now, with
that day at hand, hundreds of inquiries
are being received at Duluth. District
No. /, in common with others in the
state, has submitted its proposal to
stagger pay dates within the district
and on the basis of projects. However,
formal approval has not been received
and no change will be made until all
details have been worked out. Formal
notice will be given from the Duluth
office when the effective date becomes
known

State TO WORK
With RED CROSS.
To Train Employees in First Aid
Procedure and Establish
Roadside Stations.

In cooperation with the American
Red Cross, the state highway depart
ment will train many of its employees to
give first aid to accident victims, ac-
cording to an announcement by N w.
Elsberg, highway commissioner
The highway department also is CO.
operating with the Red Gross in its
program of establishing roadside first
aid stations in Minnesota, and will erect
the official signs making such stations,
Mr.. ElSberg said. Traffic flow data has
been given the Midwest Office of the
Red Cross at st. Louis to aid it in
determining the Minnesota trunk high
ways which should receive considera-
ton in the establishment of the emer-
gency stations, he stated.
THE Red Cross will assign an official
first aid instructor to the highway de-
partment this spring." Mr.. Elsberg said
This instructor will teach first aid
practice to selected men IN every main
terance district throughout the State.
After their training, these men in turn
will teach other employees. The high
way patrol, whose members already are
proficient in first aid, also will asst
in the work
Highway department employees who
are constantly on the roads should be
capable of giving intelligent first aid
in any emergency. With the co-opera-
ton of the Red Gross, we expect many
Of them will receive the necessary
training this coming summer Death
or permanent Gripping often can be
averted if an accident victim receives
proper first aid before medical help
arrives"

and life saving field representative Of
the Red Cross, made the arrangements
with Mr. Elsberg for the participation
Of the highway department in Red

TOWNSHIPS WILL
NOT DISSOLVE.
Fifty-one Townships, Marked
for Dissolution, Will Retain
Governments This Year.

Owing to the failure of the county
board to order dissolution before the
township levies were spread for this
year, fifty-one of seventy-one twonships
in st. Louis County, which faced dis
solution on January 1st, will retain OPP
erative governmental units this year.
Figures compiled by the county audi
tors office disclose that 81 townships
either do not have an assessed valua-
ton of $4,000, or are burdened with a
tax delinquency of so per cent or more
The law passed by the 1885 session OF
the legislature and effective January
l, 1896, makes it mandatory upon the
county board to dissolve townships
unable to support township government
The dissolution action by the board
next year undoubtedly will provide fol-
the county taking over the townships on
January 1, 1897, was the opinion OF
county officials.
The board in dissolving these town
ships will be required to acquire tele-
phone companies, cemeteries, town halls
and other township property. The
county is to hold this property until q
sale can be made. Township subscribers
to these utilities and projects will be
given first opportunity to purchase, the
law provides.
Townships which have a delinquency
of so per cent or more because of the
mine tax litigation case, are not at
fected by the act.

funds
FOR PEST war
Senators and Congressman Aid
in the Fight Against the
Army Worm.

According to advices received from
Senator Benson by the county board,
two appropriations for combating the
army worm menace on federal and
private lands have been requested from
Congress by the Department of Agri-
culture.
c. NJ Granger, assistant forestry chief
in charge of national forests has asked
for an appropriation of $4,000 to fight
the worm on federal lands and Avery S.
Hoyt assistant chief of the bureau of
entomology and plant quarantine, has
requested $4,000 to carry on the work
on adjoining private lands.
Senator Benson said that he had been
informed of the requirements by A. G..
Ruggles, state entemologist, and an
nounced that he would seek to have the
funds appropriated, or, if Mr. RuggleS
thinks more is necessary, will ask for an
increase.

100 Drivers Lose
License in Month.

More than 100 motorists guilty of seri-
Gus traffic offenses forfeited their
drivers licenses during January as re-
suit of revocation or suspension actions
by the drivers license division of the
state highway department.
Although operating with only a
skeleton crew because of lack of funds,
the license bureau is carrying on the
essential duties established by the
drivers license and financial respon-
sibility laws, according to a highway
department announcement.
In fact, IL more licenses were re-
voked and suspended in January this
year than in the same month of 1885.
The number revoked last month was so
and the number suspended was Al.
Practically all of these were the result
of court convictions and court recon-
mendationS.
Persons without drivers licenses, or
those who wish to obtain duplicates by
reason of change of address, illegibility
of the original, or for other reasons,
should apply to the state highway de-
partment in st. Paul or to any county
clerk of court. The charge is 25 cents
in st. Paul. County clerks are auth
orized to charge IS cents to pay their
expenses in the work.
