THE FORES' FIRE MENACE

la large forest fire burning OF

| District Forester McNees has
directing a crew of men striving
to control the flames. Today
/ (Tuesday) they were still busy
and we saw them working on
Sunday. a.
A forest fire is usually some
| thing people looks up to once or
twice and then forget. But if
we stop to think it is something
more important than someone's
land on fire. The forests of West
Virginia are her browning glory
and there is but one thing more
desolate looking than burned
over forest, more devoid of life,
and that is a battlefield t h a t
once was a wood. The ugliness
and the barrenness of burned
over forest is the monument of
carelessness and don't rive-a-
darn Responsiveness OF the
careless smoker and reckless
brush burner. in most cases.
We say monument" because
the burned-over woods takes
years and years to regain it's
former appearance. Thus it is
an eyesore for long enough to
qualify as a monument.
The economic value of the
forests to the state is no whit
less because of the mere fact
they may be owned privately, by
great corporation, or by the
state. The forests are here and
we all get some pleasure our of
them if it be but not having to
look on a naked, barren land
scape when we raise up our eyes
to the hills. Why thes do we let
the careless hunter and brush
burner each year devast many
hundreds of acres of our forest
land? Why is it that those in
Authority allow busting when
the woods are as dry as they are
now? Successful upland hunting
is well-nigh impossible anyhow
when there has not been d good
soaking rain in many months,
except the questionable sport
of guarding what few water
water holes that haven't yet
dried up and shooting game as
it comes to drink-yes, it is done.
The wildlife resources of the
woods are valuable to all of us.
Why allow it to be destroyed by
careless hunters while on the
other hand spend many thous-
ands of dollars restocking?
There are several sides to any
question but no one has question
ed the authority or wisdom of
closing the woods to hunters
during dangerously dry periods
and see that the ruling is observ-
ed rcligiously or back it up with
a fine that is large enough to
! make unsportsmanship most
Improbable matter. No one to-

It's Spring, But
Speeders Beware

With spring in the air once more
and highways more alluring to the
driver than they were during the
winter, Eden Rowe, chief of the
patrol of the Minnesota Department
of Highways, this week issued a
warning to all motorists that the
patrolmen will keep a sharp lookout
for drivers who speed up" just be-
cause "it feels so good"
Many drivers this time of year,
after necessarily having to curb them
selves all winter long, when they get
out on the highway seem unable to
restrain their exuberance, and want
to "step on it" as soon as they reach
the open highway. This is danger
GUS practice at any time of the year,
but is especially so now that drivers
are feeling the first call of the year
to get out and enjoy themselves on
drive in the country. The traffic
is naturally heavier than it has been
for the past few months, and motor
lists are likely to be less alert
The patrol will show no mercy to
speeders for, "they must be stopped,
and they will be-" Mr.. Rowe said.

AskOv's Riflemen
Win Two Contests

The Askov rifle team has found
its fortunes soaring to new peaks
recently and as result has chalked
up two victories in as many starts.
The first contest which the Askov
gunners were high in was one with
Pine City Friday night on the Amer
lean Publishing Co. range when a
four-poSition match was shot A
possible 200 total for each contestant
was established for that match and
the team score was 1899 for Askov
and 1850 for Pine City. Hans Mel
sen of Askov, was high with 181,
c. Meier of Pine City, next with 176
and A. w. Conway for Askov was
third with 174. These two teams
will meet again in the near future,
it is expected.
In the regular four-team COMPETE
ton between Askov, Finlayson
Grindstone Lake and Sandstone held
on the American Publishing Co. range
Tuesday night, Askov emerged vic
torious. Scores for the various teams
were Askov GAL, Finlayson 538, Sand
stone 533 and Grindstone Lake 513
These four teams are scheduled to
meet again Tuesday night, April 49,
on the same range.

ular practice Tuesday night, April II

Highway Deficit
Is Now Wiped Out

The Minnesota Department of
Highways is "out of the red"
The cash deficit of $1,625 1885,
which existed on January l, has been
balanced out by revenues received up
to and including April 5, Commits
sioner NJ J. Hoffman, announced.
On December 81, the department
had a cash balance of 1898, 55995 but
owed current accounts payable total
ing 5000, 1861.
All bills on which payments can
be made have been paid, Commits
sioner Hoffman, announced, and suf-
ficient funds are on hand to meet
certain remaining amounts on which
payments must be withheld until they
have been passed upon by the courts
or other authorities, as it is expected
will be determined by the state Legis-
lature.

aid the government in its efforts to
improve standards for the treatment
and care of short-term prisoners.
This institution will also make it pos
sible to relieve some of the over
crowding in existing Federal institu-
tons which has occurred during re-
cent years as a result of widening
the scope of Federal criminal laws.
The construction of this institution,
is in line with the recon-
of the Congressional COM
mittee which Investigated the Federal
penal system in 1929. That COM
mittee suggested the establishment
of a group of ten regional institu-
tons to serve as area headquarters
for Federal short-term prisoners who
could not be accommodated in local
institutions.

The institution is simply but sound
ly constructed of reinforced concrete
in accordance with plans and speci-

ment Division of the Treasury De-
partment. There is no wall about

Wife OF County's
Sheriff Leaves
Eight Children
Mrs. Hannes Rypkema is
Stricken With Heart At
tack Early Monday.

Friends of Mrs HanneS Rypkema,
wife of Pine county's sheriff, were
deeply shocked Monday when it was
learned that she had passed away
early in the morning from sudden
heart attack. Mrs. Rypkema had
been suffering for more than year
with a heart ailment but it was
thought by her husband and friends
that she was making good recovery.
In January of this year, she became
mother of twin girls, but she was
destined to enjoy the honor and hap
piness for but a brief period of 10
weeks.
Grace Bork Rypkema was born at
Hinckley October 2, 1902, and was
barely 3612 years of age. She grew
to young womanhood in Hinckley
village, graduating from the high
school there. She was the daughter
of Oscar Bork, pioneer settler of
Pine county. She was united in
marriage to HanneS Rypkema on
April S, 1922, and to their union eight
children were born. Besides the
twins, who are but 10 weeks old, there
are Phyllis, James, Betty, Doris, Rob-
ert and Floyd, who will miss their
mothers loving care very much.
Some time after Mr.. Rypkema's cleo
ton to the office of sheriff, they pur-
chased a small farm just north of
Pine City, moving there about four
years ago.
Besides her husband and children,
Mrs. Rypkema leaves two brothers,
Charles Bork of Hinckley, and Rob-
ert Bork Of Oshkosh, Wis, and one
sister, Mrs. John Moriarty of Detroit,
Mich.
Mrs. Rypkema, although a busy
mother, found time to take part in
community activities, being an active
member of the Eastern Star and
Royal Neighbors and also a member
of the Presbyterian church.
Funeral services are being planned
for Thursday afternoon, April 6, at
the high school auditorium in Hinck-
ley, with Rev. Paul Hendricks of
Hinckley officiating Interment will
be made in Rose Hill cemetery.

Young Thief Ends
Up In Laws Grip

For a time Sunday excitment
prevailed in Sturgeon Lake when
a 10-year old Duluth boy, Rich
ard Gimpel, went about the bust
ness of relieving some of the
business places of their cash. He
obtained some change amounting
to about a dollar out of the gum
case at Tomczak's Grocery, while
Mr.. Tomczak had gone to the
basement and the Sturgeon Lake
Garage felt the "sticky fingers"
of the youngster when Mr.. Carl
son missed SIS out of his cash
register. He i'm m dia tely
searched the lad and found SIS
roll of dimes and three SIS bills.
The boy, who had come to the
village on bus, was held until
his parents were reached. It is
believed that there is a group of
boys operating in Duluth and that
