How About An Arrowhead Queen?

three canvasbacks, red-heads, buffle-
heads, or ruddy ducks in their daily
bag of 10, or an aggregate of three
birds of the different species. So get
out the old blunderbust, fellows, and
start tuning 'er up"
A medicine kit is invaluable on a
canoe trip and the following list
packed in flat tin box will go
long way: Iodine, adhesive tape and
prepared finger dressings, salve for
burns, small bottle of rubbing lini-
ment, aspirin, mild physic, sunburn
lotion, and poison ivy lotion.
A weeks trek into the woods or
waters takes some good management if
it is to be a successful recreation period.
Regularity of meals is an important
thing and breakfast, dinner and sup
per should be eaten at approximately
the same time each day. If you're on
vacation then why all the hurry to
make certain spot by night? Eat
your meals at the usual time and smoke
leisurely after. No one is going to
move your camp site if you don't show
up by o'clock in the afternoon and
chances are this isn't the last day of
your life. So take your time.
We know you've tried all sorts of
mosquito dope and still come home
badly bitten up but here's another:
One ounce of gum camphOr to one
pound of cold cream. The cream
tends to make it last for some time
while most other connections evapor-
ate rapidly.
Honestly speaking now, folks, haven't
you at some time or other said, ooh,
they're only tourists; they don't know
what it's all about? Yes, Well admit
there are lot of them who probably
don't know what the score is but when
you run across few that really know
all the answers and can give you few
good pointers besides, you suddenly have
a wholesome respect for them. Such
was the case when We had the pleasure
of making the acquaintance of three
couples from st. Louis, Missouri, who
were up in this territory to spend a
week fishing. We want to give you
their names because we're proud to
know folks who not only realize the
necessity of preservation and conser-
vation but practice what we up here
are always preaching. Meet Mr.. and
Mrs. Lou Dudenhoeffer, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gene Dudenhoeffer and Mr.. and Mrs.
Deane Hugshon. We visited with the
party up at Camp Kawishiwi, north of
Ely, and learned that from there they
were leaving for a weeks trek up into
Lakes One, Two, Three, -Four, and
points further up to enjoy some real
Arrowhead wilderness. Their know
ledge of fishing and the proper hand
ling of canoes impressed us deeply. So
the next time you feel like saying,
They're only tourists be sure you're
not mistaken.

Daily papers frequently carry stories
of beauty queens being selected for some
thing or other and we got the bright CD
idea that maybe the Arrowhead country
would do well to have queen of it's
own. What could be more appropriate
than sending a local young lady to
represent Minnesota and the Arrow
head country to the Worlds Fair in
New York in 1899? When people of
other states think of Minnesota they
picture a state filled with lakes and
beauty spots so why wouldn't it be
proper to send an Arrowhead queen
that fits into the picture perfectly?
What do you think, readers? Drop us
line.
We've heard lot Of folks say they
can't stand the smell of fish. Maybe
the fish don't exactly relish having
us around either.
You probably can't take dogs into
fashionable hotels, but, under a new
tariff ruling, United Air Lines now
grants to all Seeing Eye" dogs the priv
ilege of riding with their blind masters
in the cabins of its regularly scheduled
planes. So the next time you want to
make hurry up trip with your hunt
ing dog you might bluff your way over
the airlines by putting on dark pair
of glasses. maybe mask over the
purp's head might help bit, too0
They've finally come to the con-
clusiOn that garter snakes are harm
full. Over i'm Michigan the fish re-
search department has found that the
common garter snake is as serious a
menace to fish as the water snake.
If it's colorful vacation you're look
ing for, take the Minnesota Tourist
Bureaus tip and try September in the
northwoods. Nature donS her brightest
garments in this month. There's the
scarlet of the sumac, the yellows and
reds of the naples and the dark greens
of the pines. Color-plenty of it! And
better yet, the mosquitoes are gone; so
are the sand flies, army worms and the
varied assortment of bugs so character
istic of summer vacations. Days are
crystal clear and cool; the nights are
invigorating. And the woods, lakes and
campsites are yours for the taking, for,
according to the Minnesota Tourist
Bureau, rs per cent of summer vaca-
tionists take their two weeks off from
June to Sept. 1. September is the
month to camp.
Are you forgetting to lot down the
number of fish you have taken this
year for your annual fishing report?
Or are you one of those timid souls
who thinks one report won't help the
conservation department great deal?

Libby Grade School
Costs Are Low

The June issue of the Montana
Taxpayer, published quarterly by
the Montana Taxpayers Association
| for the information of taxpayers in
the state, contains some very en-
| Tightening facts relative to school
costs during the past three years.
particularly for the elementary
schools.
For the year 1867, for which
cansPlete-figares are available, the
Libby school compares exception
ally favorably with all other grade
schools of the state. The total costs
per pupil range from Sl41.80 in Pop
lar and Sl2980 in Hardin, to SAG in
Poison, $3.50 in Laurel, S53.71 in
Hamilton, etc. The average cost for
all grade schools in the study over
the state, figures to $82.18. Libby's
figures are $3.50, or 1888 less than
the state average
Why such variation The Poplar.
Hariin, Cut Bank and Wolf Point
districts include several small rural
schools and higher transportation
costs. Glasgow and Cut Bank have
also had a rapid increase in popula-
ton. Libby's transportation figures
at Sl0.4O per pupil compares to the
state average of $6I9, Poplar, $3.50.
Cut Bank $500, and Hardin S2230.
But aside from transportation. Lib
bys figures are lower than the av-
erage school. For general control,
Libby expends $1.10 per pupil-to
the state average of S2.54. For in.
struction purposes, Libby rates
$500 to a state average of S51.61.
Books and supplies in the state are
S5.78 per pupil, and Libby $4.10. For
plant operation Libby compares
at $1,000 to the state at S13.95.
These figures for the rating of the
Libby grade school indicates that the
school has had good management
and conservative operation at a low
er figure than the average school in
the state. Although school costs
may appear high, schools are d
necessary part of our present day
mode of living We would not be
without them, which resolves down
to getting the most for our tax
dollar. Economy and efficient adj
minlstration of our tax dollar is
value received.

BOOK ENDS
BY INEZ RATEKIN
County Librarian
*stst*st,*,....*,s.e.,.t...,

Charles Allen Smart, in the pre-
face to his new book r. r. D. which.
incidentally was a recent book club
selection, describes himself as be-
ing "a rather ordinary young man,
IN his thirties, who, after printing,
publishing, literary hack work, nov
el-Writing, wandering, loafing, and
teaching, went to live on a farm.
and got married" Also Il was a
fairly typical, urban intellectual and
malcontent of the tWenties, and |
am now merely doing those things
that millions of other Americans
are doing without fuss and feathers.
and without writing books about
themselves
The experiences of the Smarts in
their new adventures in life are de-
scribed very simply but it is the
honesty, simplicity and directness
that makes the book so real. Fight
ing through bad Understanding
ing both major flood and a major
drought - these back to-the-land-
ers' try to make it clear that "a
farm is very poor place especial
~ for some people) to earn a liv-
ing IN the ordinary meaning of that
phrase, and a very rich and splen-
did place to earn living in every
other meaning in the growing,
SO to speak, of ideas, sensations,
intuitions, feelings, sympathies, and
delight in action, of all those things
that alone justify work and money"
The Smarts are having a good
time on their farm. They enjoy
their neighbors, keep up their read
ing and do a lot of meditating on
everything from cabbages to kings.
They received excellent training in
how not to buy sheep, and how to
comprehend the idiosyncrasies of
traders.
Although not second Thoreau,
Mr., Smart writes quite philosophi-
cally about trees, flowers, and other
items in naturalist's calendar. He
has pet theory that is rather in
teresting and that is that life is es-
sentially theatrical and if people
would see it as such they would
have more fun and show more in
telligence.
Whether one, agrees with all of
his ideas the book is thought-pro-
voking besides being good reading.
