And yet feel no sense of agitation.
To monkeys quite liking people take.

But if this plan which we call evolution"
Should turn around and work the

If friends about him certain things

CO.Education Centenary,

The centennial Of co-education at
Oberlin College is important enough to
justify special exhibition of books and
manuscripts relating thereto at the Lii
brary OF Congress. But the display and
the ceremonies of celebration ct the
school itself serve particularly to direct
attention not to something new in the
world so much as to the rediscovery OF
something very old-namely, the orig
inal intellectual and social equality OF
men and women.
Perhaps nobody can be quite sure
about when segregation began, yet there
can be little question that 1t once was
an innovation. Under primitive condi-
tions the family u not arbitrarily divided.

mediterranean and does not relish
battle in the Pacific. Yet she would
very much like to have this country han
die the matter for her.
This all is very dangerous ground and

In the case of Japan, the official
diplomatic advices are to the effect that
the Japanese are very near the end of
their financial resources and will be
wrecked by a prolonged fight in China.
BY encouraging the Chinese and by en-
couraging voluntary boycott OF Japa-
nese goods, the President may feel that
the tide can be turned. But an econom-
ically wrecked Japan would hardly SIM
plify the problems of the world.
The basic facts OF the matter seem to
be these:
The United States holds the bulk of
the worlds gold. Most of the nations Of
the world owe money to the United

the worlds capital has migrated to this

Burma regions, although the sternest
measures have been taken toward sup
preston. But there, and to some ex-

support and care and protection. Often
they are tutors and not infrequently ad-
visers on matters of business and even

buy and hold slaves. The teemine heart
OF Africa furnishes never-ending SUM-

holding countries many slaves are freed
when they grow too old to work effec-

These freed ones oftener than not. IT is

something Of disaster. They have
their freedom, but no longer is any one

Disastrous Fires Recalled
BY Fire Prevention Drive

aStrouS fires of this immediate vicinity.
Many more examples could be cited
throughout the forest regions of the
United States.
The prevention of these fires rests
directly with the people; more SO with
the people of this vicinity than with
the tourists because We are much more
familiar with the conditions and con-
sequences which may result from a
camp fire or cigarette that is carelesSly
put out.
A few points to consider not only
during fire prevention week, but
throughout the year are:
l. Always put out your camp fire,
Drench it well with water Even though
it may be raining at the time, the fire
might smolder for day or more and
break out when the conditions become
hazardous.
2. Always put out your cigarettes
and break your matches before throw
ing them away.
3. Secure burning permit before
doing any brush burning. These are
issued free of charge by the U. S.
Forest Service within the National
Forest areas. The local officers are
always aware of existing conditions and
will issue the permits if the conditions
are safe. It is we'll to plan on doing

u. S. Forest Service Stresses
Fire Prevention Week for
Forest Protection.

In line with Fire Prevention Week,
proclaimed by President Roosevelt from
October to october 9, much has been
said and written about fires in the
homes and other man-made improve
ments. Very little has been said about
fires in the forest. The U. S. Forest
Service Office calls attention to forest
fires in the following:
"The people of Ely and vicinity, gifted
with large wooded areas from which
many derive their livelihood and in
which thousands seek pleasure and re-
creation, should not only consider fires
in their homes and buildings, but also
fires in the forest which can be and
often are very disastrous to life and
property. We need but look back very
short time to see how disastrous forest
fires can be.
''The Markham-Palo fire of 1886 is
still fresh in the memory of all of U.s.
The Cloquet fire of 1918 when 400 lives
were lost and 100000 900 worth of prop

WALT0NS SET
AGAINST Open
deer SEASON
Ely Sportsmen Join Arrowhead
Group in Protest Voiced at
Chisholm Meeting.

BY unanimous vote resolution was
passed at the meeting of the Arrow
head Association of Izaak Walton
League chapters at Chisholm, Monday
evening, protesting the opening of the
deer season this year and especially
protesting the opening of territory in
the game reserves of the Superior Ma
tional Forest.
The resolution further authorized the
securing of a court order enjoining
Governor Benson from opening the
season. The meeting held that while
the governor has the power to close an
open season, he has no power to open a
season closed by legislative enactment
of regular game measures.
The season this year is closed by law
and is a part of the state statutes. AS
an emergency measure, few years ago,
the big game season was opened in the
interest of relief. The governor in his
proclamation opening the deer season
this year on the advice of the conser-
walton commission, claimed that an
emergency exists and that the deer
should be saved by shooting on the part
of hunters to keep them from starving
to death.
Guy Cravens, assistant conservation
commissioner, represented the commits
sion at the Chisholm hearing, and up
held the action of the governor in
opening the season. Backing Mr..

Fredine who contended that there were
too many deer in the forest for winter
keep. He stated that census showed
that only 1000 deer were shot during
the season last year in the forest while
62 ,005 deer were counted this year by
the CCC boys engaged in the work of
taking census.
Representing Ely at the hearing were
Sig Olson, president of the local Jack
Linklater chapter of the Izaak Walton
League, Game Wardens Byron c. Carl
son, Joseph Krall and G.. E. Gilbertson,
E. w. Hanson and John Klobuchar.
The Ely contingent contended that
there was no excuse for opening the
season; that there was an abundance
of feed for the animals and that there
was scarcity of deer Having occasion
to visit the deer country on many oc-
casions, it is the contention that deer
are not very numerous and where herds
were encountered last year before the

New Method of Displaying

when construction of triple insulated
demonstration home is completed by
the McMahan Lumber Company at $50
E. Pattison Street in this city.
According to A. j. McMahan, of the
McMahan Lumber company, local dis
tributor for Johns anville, which de-
veloped the triple insulated principle
of construction, "this is plan of
showing people by use of demonstration
homes just what can be accomplished in
the way of permanence, fire protection
and low upkeep expense, through the
use of modern materials developed in
research laboratories. 1t was initiated
by John-Manville last year in 81 COM
munities where more than half a mil
lion people visited homes"
Johns Manville does not design, build
or own any of these model homes, Mr..
McMahan explained, but has supplied
the principle of triple insulation for the
use of contractors and builders generally
and assists these builders with a COM
plete program to advertise and demon
strate the model homes after they are
built.
In triple insulated model home the
materials and methods of construction
are featured. The public is taken be-
hind the scenes, even after the house
is finished, for an intimate insight into
what the walls and roof of the house
are made of and how it is put together.
In this, they differ entirely from the
usual model home where room arrange
ment, modern equipment and beautiful
gadgets" are emphasized, he declared.

to select houses not only on the basis
of exterior appearance but also for per-
