SAYS ADULTS
ARE EDUCABLE
More Capable Of Acquiring
Education in Some Lines
Than in Youth

Contrary to popular opinion,
adults who "miSsed the education
al train" when they were young
are now more capable of acquir-
ing an education along many
lines than they were in youth or
adolescence, DR.. Willis Parker, di-
rector of extension work at West
ern Carolina Teachers college,
told the Kiwanis club in an adj
dress at the Balfour community
house yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was held as a
benefit for the adult opportunity
school at Balfour. A Thanksgiving
dinner was served.
Dr.. Parker said that while bust
ness and industrial men are fore
ed to accept people and conditions
largely as they find them, there
are four professions that are con-
cerned with the mental, moral
and physical Improvement of peo-
pie. These professions are the
medical, legal, ministerial and
educational. Fourteen per cent OF
the whole population of the Unit
ed States are illiterate, ne said,
and so per cent are functionally
illiterate in that they cannot read
or write well enough to get pleas
ure out of it.
"To increase the diffusion Of
intelligence to match the complex
tiles of civilization is the continu-
Gus opportunity and challenge Of
these professions" DR.. Parker

FOOTBALLS BEST SEASON

After today the football season
is practically over. Important
games remain for Saturday, but
after Thanksgiving the fan s.
thoughts begin to stray to other
things.
This has been footballs best
year. From the viewpoint of the
fans nothing more than hectic
season, with only one undefcated
and united major team, upsets ev-
cry week. spectacular plays, could
have been desired. Gate receipts
have scared to new heights.
The game of football has reach
ed the point in it's development
where nothing short Of a super
team can expect to finish an un-
defeated season. Any team is like
ly to be upset by any other; and
this will be reflected in even
larger gates in 1887.
MILLER PLAYS FOR NAVY
Army and Navy will clash in
the most colorful game of the
season on Saturday.

LAST LOGGING DRIVE
OF STATE BEGINS AS
WOODSMEN CUT ROADS

AS the woodlands ak begins to
ring in the Grand Portage area,
the last stand of virgin timber in
Minnesota will start to move to-
ward the whirr of the sawmills.
On privately owned acreage, the
George c. Meade Company, whose
headquarters are in Port Arthur,
Ont, has erected a camp Of Is
buildings, and the first trees are
being felled to clear the way for
the logging roads, which reach out
like long fingers to snatch great
trees as they crash before the on
slaught of the logging gangs
More than 100000 acres of tim
Der will be cleared in this, the fin
al great logging drive of virgin
timber in the state.
A dozen lakes, now shimmering
in the cool, deep forest will be OPP
ened up as the lumberjacks go
through, clearing to the waters
edge.
AS no roads penetrate this ter
ritory, these lakes are seldom If
ever visited by a white man. An
occasional Indian family living in
the area may fish these still wat
ers, but aside from that the lakes
are as undisturbed as they were in
the days when the French and Eng
lish traders first penetrated the
territory and established the trail
known as Grand Portage.

Many Lightning Fires Reported

The worst series of lightning
fires on record have occurred in
st. Louis, Lake, and Cook counties
during the past two weeks, accord
ing to Grover M. Comet, director of
the division of forestry.
Ranger Pat Bayle reported there
were more lightning fires in the
last week and a half than in the
last ten years. Ordinarily electric
storms are followed by rain, but
this year, according to reports,
there has been no rain following
the lightning.
All except two Of the fires were
put out before they reached acre
size. Mr.. Comet said this record
was due almost entirely to the val
liable assistance given by CCC
camps in the district.
Robert Fechner, who recently in
spected CCC camps in the area, ex-
pressed pleasure at the effective
ness with which Minnesota CCC
enrollees have aided in suppressing
fires.
Mr.. Comet said that the timber
loss was small in spite of the large
number of fires. A majority of the
fires were in peat or grass regions.
Dried grass lying along high
ways and trails has increased the
fire hazard this year." Mr.. Comet
said. Cigarettes thrown from NOV
ing cars easily ignite the grass.
Town and county boards can
cooperate with us if they will re-
move dried grass from the highway
right-of-way.

GAME QUESTIONABLE
SENT TO SPORTSMEN

A QUESTIONABLE asking sports
men and game wardens for their
recommendation for the 1886 game
bird seasons has been sent out by
A. c. Hanson, director of the div
ision of game and fish.
The suggestions Of the majority
of sportsmen will be included in
Mr.. Hanson's recommendations to
the Conservation Commission.
In letter accompanying the
questionable it is stated that
uniform season would be a better
conservation policy" than having
pheasants open at one time and the
quail or grouse at another.
"This would also prove more con-
venient for the majority of the
sportsmen and we could have bet
ter law enforcement" the letter
continues. For instance, If the
pheasant season should open Octo-
Der Is and close October % and we
had a uniform season, all other
upland birds upon which an open
season is advisable could be taken
within that same period"
There has been some question
whether or not the closing of one
county and opening of another has
been the best conservation policy.
If, for instance, the majority of
the sportsmen desire a full seven
day season on pheasants through
out the state, it would simplify
matters for the sportsmen and
wardens, too, as the knowledge of
county lines would not be neces-
esary.
Then, too, there would not be so
much concentration of hunters In
certain counties There are of
course good arguments why one
county should be open and an
other closed-but not only should
the best conservation method be
considered, but also the convenien-
ce of the sportsmen and adequate
law enforcement. Laws or regula-
tions that permit taking hen
pheasant in one county and not In
