was the real thing Without her life

The next day he tried approaching
her again, but if anything she was
more distant, devoting her attentions
to little Amos Boylston.
The caravan moved on into the
hills, camping at the foot of a gor-
geous waterfall at dusk. After supper
Beth tried to talk to him, but Ron's
nerves were ragged. OF all things he
didn't want to discuss Fred fremont.
He couldn't understand what Beth saw
in the chap.

Ron said trying to be patient. You
can't understand what real love is
oh, is that so! Did taste like a
kid when you kissed me last night near
the cactus?"
Ron batted his eyes. "Wha-what"
You thought it was your precious

"Then-it was you! Oh, thank

to Janice"
"Yeah?" Beth didn't bulge. Her
voice held world of meaning. Ron's
eyes left her and Travelled across the

Beth smiled happily. SWELL! And

It was Janice.

Ron was too astounded to speak. When
he turned around to see who the girl
was he had kissed, the space behind
him was empty. He swung back
again, sweat on his forehead
"Janice!" But Janice was already
half way back to the camp fire. He
could tell by the carriage of her head
that there was no use in trying to
explain.
Ron's numb brain began to func-
ton. There was only one way he
could make Janice understand. He
must find the girl who had been stand

JUDGE DEVANEY.

If President Roosevelt's u S. Supreme
Court reorganization plan goes through
and Judge John Patrick Devaney should
be appointed to the high court as a
result, few in Minnesota would be sur
prised, says a NEA special dispatch
from Minneapolis.
Devaney, recently resigned as chief
justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court,
has long been an outstanding liberal.
A Democrat in politics, he was ap-
pointed to the bench in 1888 by the late
Farmer-Labor governor, Floyd b. Oh
SON. He was one of Olson's behind
the-scenes'' advisers.
Devaney's appearance before the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee in Washing
ton in behalf of the court reorganiza-
ton plan, and his recent election as
president of the National Lawyers
the national limelight.
Though he resigned from the bench
ostensibly to resume private law prac-
tice, Devaney was shortly thereafter
named by Postmaster General Farley
to lead movement to rehabilitate the
Democratic party in Minnesota.
The chief justiceship was Devaney's
first public office. He had practiced
law in Minneapolis for Is years. And
one of his first public acts was to take
a voluntary pay cut of 20 per cent with
the request that the money saved be
used to help low-priced employees of the
state legal department.
One of the leading peace advocates in
the northwest, Devaney has befriended
many liberal causes, and his selection
as one of the first witnesses for the
administration in the Supreme Court
hearings indicates that his views are
closely in accord with those of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Attorney General
Cummings. He is aggressive, genial
and tactful, and is highly respected
even by those whose legal and economic
views differ from his own.
While at the University of Minnesota
winning three degrees, Delaney was
one of the leading orators and de-
baters. He is 81 years old and has
three children.

Final plans for the All club Con-

meeting of the officials of the county
club agents office and the conserva-
ton committee of the Home and Com
munity Section of the st. Louis County
Club and Farm Bureau Association
Tuesday at the Virginia court house.
Included in the plans was an educa-
tional program for club leaders and
members pertaining to plant life and
preservation of fish. Matt Matson,
chairman of the conservation COM
mittee, and Harold AaSe, county All
club agent, outlined the program for
the camp activities.
Included in the proposed activities
will be fish bait casting contest; trips
to the fish spawning field stations at
Pike Bay and Lake Vermilion; and
hikes to game refugees.
Arthur Horn, forest biologist from the
Sand Lake Forestry station, will con-
duct classes on plant life, fish his
tory and propagation; Arthur Roe, chief
forester from Sand Lake station, wild
game and fish refugees; and Wilbur
Isaacson, junior forester from the Mis-

companies if these leases are renewed
For the past fifty years, twenty-five
cents a ton has been paid. The 4Oc
stated in the bill is a minimum and
does not specifically state that this is
the amount that is to be paid. If the
Conservation Commission and Execu-
tive Council feel that they can get more
than 40c, so much the better
Another objection to the bill was that
all interested parties should have an
opportunity to bid on these leases, and
then again the question of collective
bargaining was also offered.
AS stated before, all these matters ]
believe can very easily be taken care OF
when and if the bill passes, which will
give the Commissioner of Conservation
by and with the approval of the Con-
Servation Commission and Executive
Council, the authority to enter into
negotiations with the mining companies
Surely there is no working man OF
business man or any one else for that
matter, that is or will question the
honesty, sincerity or integrity of the
men serving on the Commission or the
Executive Council.
In closing, let me say that am not
speaking in behalf or by the authority
of the mining companies, neither am ]
speaking for any other organization OF
| individual in this matter. When this
bill and the information pertaining tC
it was presented to me, as it was to the
other Representatives and Senators or
the Iron Range, after reading it over
several times very carefully and having
| the best interests of the Iron Range al
heart, thought that it was a very good
bill and took it upon myself to introduce
| it in the House without the request OF
any one. Kindly bear in mind that
there is nothing farther from my mind
than to pass some legislation that is
going to be detrimental Or cause a
hardship to my constituents on the
Iron Range. Surely my sincerity as
far as the working man is concerned
is Enthusiastically and beyond reproach.
Every thing that own and have is on
the Iron Range, have lived there all
my life, and am raising a family whose
future I am very much concerned in
as well as all the people living on the
Iron Range. There is no question in my
mind, but that the iron ore industry is
the life blood of the Iron Ranges Re-
CARELESS of how we feel towards the
mining companies, We must face the
fact that we are living On the Range
and that something must be done to
make it worthwhile living there.
Hoping that I have made myself
clear in the matter and assuring you
that am ready and willing at all times
to appear before any organization to
explain the mine lease bill at length and
assuring you of my sincerest services
as a public servant, remain,
Sincerely yours,

Sainte-Beuve, the famous French

merit as because several of his

have made marks in tank

Joseph Grahek is the state

A small war has developed
over the county agents bill now
before the legislature between
M. B. Elson, executive secretary
of the ST. Louis County Club,
and Arthur Lampe, county
superintendent of schools. Ell.
son says Lampe is pushing the
bill for political prestige and
Lampe says the agricultural ex-
tension work as now being done
by Elson, who has charge of
the activities of county agents,
home demonstration agents,
and Al club agents, is all wet.
1t does seem strange that an
organization which has been in
successful operation for about
80 years should all at once be
termed inefficient, nothwith-
standing the fact that five far
mers, whom the bill is sup
posed to benefit, are on the
executive board of the club.
These farmers control that end
of operations. Mr.. Lampe, in
a signed article given to the
press, claimed that the activi-
ties of the agricultural section
is controlled by the represen-
tatives of the cities.
Up to the present, cosmopoli-
tans have mixed with rural
members to the satisfaction of
both sides and all friction was
ironed out at the club meetings.
Elson is strong in his assertion
when he said, eff this legisla-
ton is passed, Arthur Lampe
would control the county
agents and at present their
WPA, NYA and Office assist
ants, numbering about 100 in
dividuals."
What the outcome will be is
not hard to conjecture. Every
