This flower at one time flourished over the greater part of the state and was everywhere a common sight. - With the advance of civilization the flower has disappeared. Only an a Tew protecied and secludsd- patches of woods in the south ~.and in the forest fastngsses of the north are théy found today. Many of our citizens have never seen one; nly in the north woods a¥s they now plentiful and even there tl:Ae increasing use of the automobile and the rapidly strengthening tpndency to- ward outdoor life is leading to their rapid destruction. To see them is to pick them and too often the roots are taken with the flower. Swamps which two years ago were paved with them know them no more. . N A.gem of nature’s handiwork, officially honored by being made the state flower of Minnesota and loved by all who know the great outdoors, the lady slipper heads the roll of north woods flower nobility. Pure she stands defenseless in her right against the thoughtless ravages of the vandal. Few are her children and they delicate and slow of growth; and her feet once torn from the virgin soil her family is known in the place no more. ; , Every year whole tribes are destroyed for a moment’s pleasure, that some unthinking selfish person may boast t}lat he—or alas, more often she—has picked a tubful of orchids. And just for that generation yet unborn, and those of us today who really love the flowers where they grow must often search their forest haunts in vain. - There are some things which cannot be moved. The mountain could not be brought to Mohammed and Wall street cannot bring the Grand Canon to the Hippodrome. Let us leave these beautiful rare and rapidly disappearing flowers where they belong. Let those who appreciate them enough to go to the woods to hunt for them enjoy them there and leave them for yet other flower lovers to see. They are more beautiful in their natural setting than in any vase that human craftsmen ever made. This it the choice we really have to make for our Moceasin flowers are fast following the fate of the buffalo and the passenger pigeon. So hunted have these beautiful flowers become that they need: protection the same as our game. & o (- h‘!fi' become necessary to prohibit altogether the picking, of Moceasin' flowers in Itasca Park. The carlessness and greed of the few ever imposes re- strictions on the freedom of the rest. Remember that no place that you may find is so secluded that another will not come there. b ; : Let others see the Moccasin flower as God made it, the fdirest orchids of our northern clime, the queen of forest flowers. } e = i o— CUT .DOWN SOW THISTLE "~ The following is an article from the Northwest Experiment station, Crookston. ' Many farmers do not seem to realize the damage that is being.done by the periennial sow thistle which is becoming more widespread over the valley each year. When this weed secures a foothold in the ground it prevents the proper growth of the regular crops. This weed spreads by root and by seed and the seed pods are now forming and in the course of the next few days thousands of seed will:be-scattered broadcast over the land by the winds because the seeds are so light. The spreading by roots is slower and can easily be controlled by pro- per tillage methods. i To prevent the further spread of this weed by seed all farmers are urged to nrow ‘down or cut down any patches found in their fields or -on roadsides. : o No use talking. When it comes to “doing-it”? the married men have it on the unmarried chaps. Witness—the result of the M. & I. railroad baseball game between the married men and sirigle fellows. Guess the oldyheads haven’t forgotten the day when they used to wallop the horse hide on the old lot. e We note from.a dispatch sent out from St. Paul that the State of Minnesota is worth $40,000,00, the end of 'the fiscal year showing more than a million increase. With the excep- tion of Texas, Minnesata has the:largest fund of any state in the Union. - Other St%fi, please‘take notice. ; e o——— B . . The fire losses for the past fiscal year in Minnesota show the largest in the history of the state, owing tg“the disastrous holocaust last November, according to the report of John San- born, state fire marshal. The loss was over $17,000,000. ——o0 i ; Well, today is board of education election day, when two members will be chosen.

Just as it neared her the speed de creased and the engine stopped. Blink- ing through the whirling clouds of gust Anne saw a pleasant, masculine face smiling down at her.
