.CCC Enrolment
Deadline Is Set
Applications Must be in on
or Before July 81; Age
Range IL to %.

A reminder that July 81 is the
deadline for enrolment in CCC
camps for the next siX-month period
was issued last week by Grover M.
Comet, director of the State Forestry
Division.
"The Act of Congress continuing
CCC camps until July l, 1910, pro-
vides for the enrolment of young
unmarried men between the ages of
II and 49," Comet said.
Being on relief is no longer a
requirement as under the old law"
Comet stated. Applicants who are
of the proper age and unemployed
will be accepted, provided the need
for employment can be demonstrated
The basic wage scale of $50 month
is continued under the new Act.
Under the new ruling, the gov
eminent will save earnings of en-
rollees whose families are not in
need of financial assistance" Comet
stated.
"This money will be paid back in
case of emergencies or upon compile
ton of the enrolment period. This
gives high school graduates a Won
derful opportunity to save money
for further education.
There are good possibilities for
advancement in the CCC and at this
time there are large number of
vacancies for junior enrollees.
ENROLMENT for the next six months
will close July 81 and all qualified
young men are urged to take adj
vantage of the many opportunities
offered"

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Modern history has recorded no
more intricate puzzle than that which
at the present time exists in the Far
East: Time and again the world
has been told that differences be-
tween China and Japan had been
patched up; that the japanese gov
eminent had reached agreements with
local officials of the Peiping and the
Tientsin areas; that prospects of war
had utterly faded. Yet-hardly had
the ink of the dispatches dried when
new word came that the japanese
were attacking Chinese positions in
the immediate vicinity of Peiping,
and that 500 Japanese, as matter
of reprisals, had been cut off from
their own compatriots by defenders
of the city.
Stories were heard of armistice and
peace negotiations being started-only
to be refuted by new reports to the
effect that both powers were rush.
ing headlong in the direction of a
war which now was considered inev-
table. There was a rumor that a
Chinese town, Langfang, had been
shelled by japanese shell so effec-
lively that 1000 of the 1000 in
habitants of the place were killed.
Just now, there is nothing to do
but to assume an attitude of Scepti-
cism toward all bulletins pertaining
to the Far East conflict.
Japan's Aims.
There is, however, in this situa-
ton one factor which admits of no
doubt, and that is the goal of Japan:
The Tokyo government wants to con-
quer five of North China's provinces,
and this week it sent word to Marking
that japanese interests in North
China" must be protected-Foreign
Minister Hirota informed the Japan
csc parliament that the government
is fully prepared to use "all means"
to achieve this. On the other hand,
China appears more anxious than
ever to resist, so it is more than prob
able that an actual war will result.
Where friction necessarily takes place,
there is bound to be fire.
Spanish Civil War.
Luck appears to have made a turn
about, as far as the Spanish govern
ment troops are concerned; lately,
it had seemed as though they would
be able to Withstand the onslaught of
the rebel troops on Brunette, one of
the important positions close to Ma
drid, but now it appears that Brunette
may not fall into the hands of the
loyalists. If it is lost to them
some reports indicate it already is
it will prolong the battle about Ma
drid, and will create new difficulties
for the defense of the city.
Evidently to injure the morale
of the government, the rebels a few
days ago let eight of their airplanes
lombard Barcelona-with the result
that IS persons were killed, $50
wounded; for a full hour the bomb
ing from the air continued, the avia-
tors flew low over the city and aimed
their machine guns directly at citi-
zens who tried to flee. At about
the same time fighting around Bru-
nete was resumed in all its terror,
and it was said that each of the OPP
posing armies poured 100000 men into
the battle; the last few days of fight
ing near Brunette is said to have re-

Oil Body Gets A
BadNight For Its
Halfway Meeting
Only Small Crowd Attends
Semi-Annual Session of
Pine Coop.

The semi-annual meeting of the
Pine Coop Oil Association was not
as successful as it might have been
and that fact is charged to the rain
which fell most of Saturday evening
when the meeting was scheduled.
The rain began early in the evening
and kept up almost continuous
downpour which also kept many of
the usual Saturday night shoppers
from coming to town.
However, those who did attend
were we'll repaid for their efforts,
according to those in charge of the
meeting, since Glenn w. Thompson,
Midland educational director, was
present and gave an interesting ad-
dress. The managers and secretary's
report showed that the Association
has enjoyed a good business so far
during 1887 and the first six months
show an increase of more than $1,000
over the same period last year.
Figuring from that standpoint 1t is
expected that the total will reach
nearly 20 thousand gross for the year.
Besides a business discussion and
the talk of Mr. Thompson, a few
words were heard from David Ander-
son of Moose Lake, and c. A. Olund
of Cloquet, in regards to the coopera-
tive burial association.
What are Coop Standards?
In launching an educational talk
on cooperation Glenn w. Thompson,
asked the question, What Constitutes
Standards of Cooperatives?" Mr..
Thompson stated that there may be
more to a cooperative than just a
selling agency of gasoline, grease,
groceries, etc. Cooperation is not
alone for material gain but there is
something deeper back of the move
ment.
The speaker advised against the
dissipation of savings of coopera-
tive and stated that profit is not the
mark of a successful cooperative.
Deviating from his subject of coopera-
ton in order to point out various
missions which the cooperative
movement must help to serve, the
speaker told of the farmers increased
efficiency during the past 100 years.
He said that it had increased $500
per cent, but as group the farmer
is actually losing ownership of the
land. Farm tenancy is increasing
at an alarming rate. He deplored
the economic conditions when mil
lions of families in the country have
less than enough to exist on.
Mr.. Thompson pointed out that all
wars previous to the World war
cost Is billion dollars, but the World
war cost the nations the staggering
sum of 1876 billions. This sum could
tear down and rebuild all of the
churches in the nation; it could run
the educational system for II years;
it could resurface every road in
America and it could pay every fire
loss for 20 years.
The speaker advised cooperativeS
to take the responsibility of fighting
against wars. He concluded his talk
by asking several questions such as
when will the next depression be-
gin? How long will it last? Why
did Rockefeller die a millionaire?
At the close of the meeting lunch
was served.

A Great Motto

ONE of Americas great bust
~ ness organizations has adopt
ed motto for the guidance of
its people-a little fve-letter word
with a big meaning. 1t has been
cut in huge granite letters over
the entrance of a recently con-
structed building used as train
ing school. It is made the theme Of
many employee discussions. It
hangs over the desk of company
executives. The word is THINK.
Educators, philosophers, preach
ers throughout the ages have
written and talked about it. Rodin
gave the world a famous statue
called "The Thinker" "Think" is
a significant word. 1t represents
the only means by which human
progress can be accomplished. It
annoys people who have lazy
minds, because thinking means
mental effort. Practically all the
accidents in the world are caused
because people don't think. Thou
sands fail in life simply because
they don't think. Others give great
inventions to the world because
they do think.-The Pickup.

Here's Quentin!" she added.
There was a general swarm OF
children toward him, accompanied
by the usual deafening uproar, and
Quentin came up to the women
with the younger members of his
family hanging on him like limpets.
Violet Keats thought he looked older
indeed; there were touches of silver
on his Indian-brown temples, and
he seemed quieter, somehow; more
like the old remembered Quentin;
she liked the expression of his face.

her; kissed her in the old brotherly
fashion; they had not seen each
other since his return from three
months visit to Germany. Violet
questioned him about it, and he sat

sometimes kissing the top of the ba-

question of the Keatses remaining

that they should make it picnic.
