Beavers Great Help
In ReSettLement Work.

Baudette-Beavers have in effect
joined the construction crews of the
ReSettlement Administration near here
in the program of operations restoring
a million and a half acres of sub
marginal land for forestry, game and
recreation.
Spreading out from their formerly
restricted aquatic habitats, the "trowel-
tailed engineers" have taken up abodes
in the 100000 acres of swamps and boys
newly reflooded by 176 dams built by
RIA workers. About fourth of the
flowages back of the dams show signs
of beavers moving in. Many of the
dams reveal that the beavers have gone
over them carefully and placed their
stamp of approval on the construction.
To some they have decided to add
wings of mud and sticks. At several
places they have piled up super
structures of their own design.
THE RIA dams provide them with
more than enough water" Jack Man
weller, project game manager, COM
mented, "but a beaver has to be busy
and in the nature of things, he has to
build something. If it makes them any
happier to be puttering around with
their own ideas of embellishments on
our dams, we are pleased. This is a
wildlife project, and contented beaver
will very likely propagate more abund-
antly. That's fine.
Past experience on reflooding oper-
ations led us to count on the beaver for
any minor repair work that might oc-
cur over the years, and we are glad to
see they are ready and willing, even
though it isn't needed"

OUer-lUOrked Hearts
Use Up Energy Store

! A true conception of the heart and
its capacity for work might prevent
some people from using up their own
stores of vital energy and counting heart
failure before their time, says a bulletin
issued today by the Minnesota State
Medical Associations Committee on
public health education.
The committee points out in the
| bulletin that each individual heart
possesses its own vital capacity" that
is, certain definite amount of energy
that it can furnish under ideal con-
ditionS. This fund of energy is greater
| than is needed for the heart to do its
ordinary work year in and year out
When the heart is forced to do more
than its normal allotment of work,
however, or when it encounters "bad
weather" such as infections or other
forms of poisoning, this energy is used
up prematurely and the individuals life
span is shortened.
When more than the normal amount
of energy is persistently needed to sup
ply the demand on the heart, as in the
case of some athletics and others in
strenuous occupations, the heart en-
larges, the amount of enlargement de-
pending upon the extra energy needed
and the amount Of vital power left in
the heart.
This enlargement of the heart does
not, in the best opinion, increase the
total amount of energy possessed by the
heart. 1t is simply process by which
the heart is enabled to expend more
energy in any given time, thus expend-
ing the total amount available faster.
The heart may put out more than
the normal amount of work for days
and years and even decades. But in the
end, barring accidents, death will come
sooner because of it.

What is your conduct at filling
stations while having your car refilled?
Do you smoke? Do you allow others to
smoke?
Fires from this cause have been con-
trolled during the last few years.
Station attendants have politely asked
drivers to stop smoking. That is as it
should be.
Fumes from gasoline are dangerous.
Sparks, matches, hot ashes, and the
like, might suddenly cause an explosion
and a serious fire. Lives might even
be sacrificed
Always put out that cigarette or
cigar. A pipe should not be smoked in
a car, as the ashes cannot be con-
trolled.
Prevent these fires, accidents, and
suffering. Do not smoke at filling
stations.

We sincerely congratulate
w. E. Easton, editor of the
Gazette on the sixty
seventh birthday of that fine
paper, celebrated on August
9th. Mr.. Easton, who is sc
years of age, yields a trenchant
and highly interesting pen.
His work on the paper, man
aged by himself, both daily and
weekly, knocks into a cooked
hat the statement that life ends
at 45 and senility begins after
that. He began work on the
first issue as typesetter and
has been with the Gazette for
81 years, the latter so or more
years as it's editor and pub

years to come.

back as we can remember, from
actions of the party of Lincoln,
Mckinley and others, are to
maintain America for Ameri-
cans. This has been lost sight
of in the past few years and
"isms" have made it somewhat
difficult for Americans to live
in their own country without
being harrassed and lorded
over by Communism, Socialism,
and several other foreign-born
and transplanted "isms."
One thing the Republican
party cannot be charged with
is the flooding of this country
with foreign goods of every des-
cription while our laborers and
farmers are idle. In fact, they
are being paid to remain idle
and give the foreign exporter
a chance to fill our grain bin,
furnish beef, iron, lumber,
steel, wood pulp for paper and
several other necessities not to
mention the array of manu-
featured articles found on the
shelves of the stores, under the
guise of "overproduction and
sterilization of prices"
The old parties, the Republi-
can and Democratic, have kept
the country on an even keel
and third praties have come up
only to fall by the wayside.
The necessity of their birth has
been questioned by the voters
who turned to the old parties
to pull them from the slough
into which the third party
plunged them. The futility of
the latest New Deal" party is
now much in question and the
next election will in all proba-
bility "settle its hash" provid-
ing those in business are not
starved to death by the alpha
betical dos and dont's.
The republican party was
very necessary in 1878 and
1928 to put the country on its
feet for Americans. The year
1913 started out most disas-
trously and had it not been for
the war in Europe a panic of
immense proportions was i'm
minent. We are still suffer-
ing from the after effects of
that catastrophe. Another "war
for democracy is being fought
in this country at this time.
This is a war in and for Ameri-
ca against ''isms." Oscar
thinks we are a hide-bound
party man, fright or wrong and
are seeking to have Republi-
cans ride into power for their
own selfish ends"
This is Oscars opinion, ex-
pressed by back-slider, or
should we say a liberal" The
rebirth of the Republican party
and their elevation to the lead
in the country, in our opinion,
would be a God-send, the same
as it was in 1878 and 1898.
This probably would give
America back to the Ameri-
cans. There might also be a
tendency to cut out the hyphen
from Observation-Disclosures
and all become plain Ameri-
cans again.
