Some hunters feel. that they are doing no harm and at the same time are procuring their game while there is little opposition. Others, and they afe not few, hunt game out of season not. for the sport of hunting. but for the “sport’ of ‘hunting -when they dre not supposed to. - Infractions of the law™ seem ‘to be the delight of -some people and the same rule applies when it:comes-to breaking fish and game liws. BN 2 “Sooners” apparently are of the opinion that “it is not what they do but-what they get daught at.” This is entirely the wrong sentiment for.any person’ to bear.- Game laws were adopted after careful _ consideration having been’ given to each species of game; and; \in order that the: supply may not be gradually torn down, enforcement of these laws i8 vital. In order that the laws in this- instance may be forced, however, it is also vitally important that every resident abide by -the rules and assist in bringing so-called “sooners” to the realization of -the value of protecting the game life. Hunters out of season are a detriment to any community and, if caught, should be.severely dealt with, in arder to protect the game for lawful hunters: L o— . " FORD MAKES ANOTHER IMPRESSION.

Gouncil Agrees to $2.75 Charge for Gas.” When you have finished reading this clipping from the Bemidji Daily Pioneer, just get out your Jast month’s gas bill and gaze on‘it fondly, thought- fully, tenderly, as one should look at one’s -best friend. - Then turn to that Bemidji story again and read it thoughtfully. Probably the next time you feel inclined to “cuss” the water and light department for the size of your bill—DON'T. There are a lot of things that could be remedied in_the water and light department—some of the office men don’t part their hair to suit some people; some way could probably be found to produce a gas that would smell less ‘like a polecat. when_the good wife opens the door and lets in a husky range zephyr that blows the flame out; but for all that, Virginians have nothing to complain of that will go one-half the way between' $1.25 per thousand feet and $2.75, the rate recently -allowed by the eity council of Bemidji. Kick on your electricity bill, if you must! Roar. about your bill for aqua pura! Have a brain storm right in the middle of the street if you have to about the account the old condenser piles up against you in the heating division! But don’t let anybody hear you grouching on the gas bill any more.— Daily Virginian. = # Where’s that idiotic nut who said the increase in freight rates would not be felt by the public? *The’latest touch is kerosene, gasoline and. coal, the latter jumped a dollar or more, on account of the increased freight rate, although we all know it is a robbery, pure and simple. -But_the public feel the increase; it is.like sticking a knife into . you and turning it around.—Stllwater Gazette. e e —— BEST FORM OF WIND ,MOTORiJ‘EW CHANNEL-SWEEPER IDEA " per ton. % “has-come .i;fi the limelight once more by his dec- laration and'putting into action & general reduction in the price of his airtomobiles and tractors, “The automobile weorld -stands ‘bewildered as a "“result and many manufacturers and ‘secondhand dealers aré hard hit. /Probably the hardest hit: of: all “are -the secondhand automobile . dealers- who, % with what they believed ¥ the: time was foresight,' ;" have purchased’ Vast humbers of ysed cars at what _ may-now be: termed high prices. = The final result is a subject for conjecture. - Theories have. been advanced along several lines and as a result predic- . tions have begn made that there will be a general reduction on-the. price of necessitied.

The attention of.local coal ‘consumers is brought * to the fact that with the ever increasing nearness of cold wei;,ther there is being confronted in this * ‘city a serious situation, that of securing a supply of coal for the winter. 'at a -fair price. As the situation is brouglit to the attention of: this paper it is very apparent that coal will not be had in the near ’future, at what -might be termed # “fair price.” K S Figures presented by a local retailer-of coal show that the price has increased ,considerably during . | the past swo weeks and that wholesale fuel com- panies will not take contracts. f8r_ delivery at this time: - Each shipment is being billed-to the retailer at the prevailing price at the,time the shipment is made.

That Will Work In Perfect Clai Calm Is Recent Invention of a Swedish “"Manufacturer. For decades attempts at construct- ing a wind motor that works so stead- fly as to be used profitably for gen- erating electricity failed because wind motor and generator were directly connected by a rod, and the quantity of electric current was.in direct pro- portion to the power developed by the motor. N - A Stockholm (Sweden) manufactur- er succeeded recently in construct- .Ing a satisfactory wind motor. While the ;wind ‘is ‘strong only part of the motor's power is utilized to drive the generator, while (the surplus power lifts a heavy weight attached to an endless chain. When the wind is not strong enéugh to furnish snfficient mo- tor .power, or ceases wholly, the. gen- erator is kept in motlom\by the force of the slowly falling weight. > _.,The famous Swedish engineer, Jan- _i#dn; figures that:the generator 15 kept ““working at full capacity even if abso- Iute calm prevail for three days. med That It Will Be of Vast Im. | placed on the canal.’~ value, $2.29. There’s no économy portance in the Maintenance of Barge Canals. - (Bided 3 To aid i the maintenance of the New York state barge canal, a channel | sweeper_ has “been' devised, not here- tofore demanded by the: construction of the older canals, writes Gordon P, Gleason in Popular Machanics Maga- zine. .As time goes on and the banks disturbed by recent excavations as- sume their natural slopes, the need qf dredging will become less. Investiga- tions, however, show that within one year sufficient material may be de- posited within' the canal to make the available -depth of - water considera- bly less than the prescribed 12 feet. An example of this was found in the channel east of Onelda lake. - This was completed*in a full 12-foot depth in 1909, yet, in 1917, it was so washed in with sand that it was necessary to re- move theusands of cubic yards of this matertal. te} .To aid- in the locating of obstruc- tions in the canal the state engineer has designed a novel channel sweeper, ~and- boat bollders-have been asked to The new sweeper consists of two boats, each 18 feet long and 6 feet wide. These are placed 15 feet Apart and joined by timbers...An operating | floor 30 feet long and 5 feet wide will: be constructed near the stern, and suspended from this will be a 60-pound rall, 30 feet long, held by two chains at each end.” e . ———— Forgotten _Distances. Americans who have forgotten the geography-lessons of their school days will be surprised by statements made in an article on Chinese trade pub- lished in Shipping. Mabila,. it:says, which is an American insular posses- ston, 1s closer to China than is Tokio, the capital of Japan. The Alaskan coast is within 50 miles of Siberia. Therefore, the article concludes, it would seem that America should be more interested in Asiati¢ than in Eu- ropean trade.—From the Outlook.
