THOUSAND BATTLE MINNESOTA FOREST _ AND BRUSH BLAZES Hundreds of Men Fight Fires in, Widespread Areas of Gopher State { { | St. Paul, Aug. 4.—(4)—Thousands of men battled forest and brush fires in northeastern Minnesota Tuesday. ‘The weather forecast was unfavor- able. A crew of 750 weary fire fighters struggled with a widening blaze on the famed Gunflint trail in the Su- perior National forest. The fire had blackened 200 acres on the Minne- sota side of the boundary. Smoke fogged the landscape of some central and southern Minnesota regions Tuesday. The pall was light to heavy over the Twin Cities where brush and peat fires have been com- mon. The air was smoky at Winona where the wind was from the north. A new fire, threatening to hurdle the international boundary into the choice wilderness of Minnesota’s Grand Portage forest, was reported to the state forestry department in a radiogram. A. F. Oppel, deputy director, said the blaze was located east of the Pigeon river country in Canada. | 400 Fight One Fire | R. U. Harmon, Duluth, supervisor | of the Superior National forest, re- ported 400 men fighting a 300-acre! blaze at Twin lakes south of Ely ex- pected to have the fire under control Tuesday afternoon. A special crew of fighters was dispatched to Rose lake where 80 acres were in flames. From historic Grand Portage har- bor at the tip of Minnesota's arrow- bead, the long snake-like profile of Isle Royal, Mich., belched smoke like a volcano Tuesday. A timber fire that alfeady has consumed 5,000 acres there was still out of control. Five hundred hustling fighters ‘wielded axe and shovel in efforts to stem the Isle Royale blaze. Choice stands of pulpwood have already been destroyed. A $100,000 store of pulpwood and a COC camp endang- ered by the flames were saved. ‘The Minnesota department of for- estry Tuesday authorizezd use of sea- planes in the Grand Portage state forest where the smoke pall is so dense that Lookout tower work is im- possible in some areas. Ranger Pat- rick Bayle of Grand Marais still concentrated on the Pine-McFarlane lake conflagration which has been under control for the past three days. Stamp Plan Worked Out by Townsenders “Minot, N. D., Aug. 4.—(4)—Sixth district Townsend club delegates at their meeting in Minot Monday gave fpproval to a proposed stamp plan to be worked out in cooperation with merchants, voted to find out how all candidates for public office stand on the Townsend plan, elected a dis- trict board, and transacted organiza- tion business. Resolutions on the stamp plan and on the matter of ascertaining the views of candidates are to be pre- sented to delegates of every district in North Dakota, according to State Manager Paul Campbell of Minot. If approved by all, both proposals will be carried out through the state organization. The stamp plan provides a means whereby merchants would contribute to the support of Townsend club work and would be given stamps in small denominations for distribution to Townsend members making pur- chases at their stores. The custom- ers would apply the stamps toward payment of club dues. The plan ‘would be purely voluntary, Campbell pointed out. Malvin O. Olson’s | Father Dies at 88 Mr. and Mrs. Malvin O.

Though an outstanding feature of the picture, which Corwin took him-! self while in the park early this sum- |mer, was the variety of animal and ‘tural life scenes, another remark- | able feature was the coloring his film | has. Most shades of the rainbow were| picked up by the film used and in one i instance, in the mist at the bottom, of = waterfall, a rainbow was seen clearly. Besides the natural wonders of the park, including mountains, forests,’ geysers, Emerald Spring, Fountain; teresting “shots” of animals in the park, including bear, antelope and mountain sheep. Application of a microscopic lens to the camera while he was taking the picture in the park brought many Scenes much closer to the audience, much to the pleasure of the Kiwan- jans. Corwin also showed another film, including intimate “shots” of mem- bers of his family while on a vacation trip to Lake of the Woods. This pic- ture showed his wife and sons at play, mostly in the water swimming or boating. He explained he took this particular picture to have a perman- ent record of his sons at their present ages. Corwin was introduced by William 8S. Moeller, program chairman. J. L. Barth, president of the club who re- cently returned from his vacation trip, resumed his post as general chairman of club meetings. Group singing was led by J. P. Wagner, with Clarion E.

SWETT PUSHES WORK Boise, Idaho, Aug. 4—(7)—H. F. Swett of Bismarck, N.

The state board of railroad com- missioners was informed Tuesday by the Interstate Commerce commission at Washington that proposals by j Western railroads to increase rates on sudan, cane, sorghums and millet seeds to and from North Dakota are “not justified.” Commissioners stated that rates which had been proposed by carriers would have represented “substantial increases” over the present adjuse- ment. Reductions in rates on other sect including alfalfa and timothy, were approved by the ICC, while a re- vision was ordered in rates on sweet clover seed, resulting in increases to; certain territory and substantial re- ductions to other destinations, the board stated. The railroad board, with the Fargo chamber of commerce and other representatives of seed producers and shippers in the state, appeared before the ICC at hearings and at the oral argument in opposition to the rate increases proposed by the railroads, Co NTINUED) from page ene: Promised N.

They are deeply concerned because so much of our national income goes into the manu- facture of cosmetics that do not en- hance natural beauty, fancy breakfast foods that do not nourish more than plain mush, popular books that do not educate, and cigarettes that do no one any good. One of the reasons given for the desire to change our form of society is to place a curb on the production of these and other frivolous things, in or- der that industry may prod the things that will improve our minds The advertising of luxuries is espe- cially condemned because it leads some people to spend money for movies in- stead of educational lectures, and auto- mobiles instead of homes.

After all, tastes differ, and what is best for one may not be best for another. From time immemorial, everyone has had the right to make what he thinks the public will want and to place it on the market. In advertising his goods, the would-be-seller merely gives public notice of what he has for sale and why he thinks it worth buying. So long as his claims are truthful, the advertising serves a useful purpose, making it easier for the consumer |to choose what he wants from the goods of the world. The wider the choice, the better we like it. We would deeply resent any interfer- ence with our freedom of choice in buy- ing. As yet, there has been no attempt to pass laws restricting that freedom, but there are many reformers who would like to see the use of advertising prohibited, which would have much the same effect. No one wants to defend untruthful or objectionable advertising. There is some of that, just as there are black sheep in every walk of life, The great bulk of today’s advertisers give us truthful and constructive messages asa their products and how’ to use em. luce more’ of rsuade The consumer who does the buying is in complete control of what pedis shall be made and what articles shall be discontinued. Advertising helps to put ’ this control in the consumer's hands, That is where it must remain. ny >
