The third annual meeting of the Northern Minnesota Development association held recently at Crooks- ton, was in many respects the most important and successful the associ- ation has held. We are aware that in all probability we have said that of each meeting since the first— and it is the highest test of the ef- ficiency of this splendid organ- ization that it has been possible to say this, and that it has been true in each instance. The keynotes of the Crookston meeting were the reorganization and the good roads movement. The as- sociation is’ now organized more compactly and more firmly, and along lines of greater efficiency and a better business system. Good roads—the greatest need of preliminary to development, the, key to a locked empire—were giv en enthusiastic indorsement and the work in their behalf will go forward with a new vigor and firm- er determination, growing out ef the enthusiasm of the Crookston meeting. For the creation of this renewal of interest, credit is large- ly due the splendid talks on the subject by Annie E. Shelland of In- ternational Falls and W. A. MeGon- agle and G. C. Hartley of Duluth. The working mechanism of the as- sociation is now in better shape than it ever has been before. Two of its creations, an immigration bureau under Secretary Mackenzie and the goods roads committee -un- der President King, are firmly es- The association did nothing better than its reelection of these two faithful officers.

DANGER OF FIRE IN CHRISTMAS TREES The rapidly approaching Christ- mas season brings grave fire haz- zards with it. The flimsy materials used in store decorations are of a highly inflammable nature, usually in close proximity to kerosene, gas, acetylene, électric and other lights. Electric lights properly safeguarded are the ideal light for decorative purposes, but improper handling makes them a decided fire menace.

The average Christmas tree of- fers unusual opportunities for a terrible holocaust as the tree and trimmings lighted with gaily color- ed candles is a veritable death trap. where public celebrations are held are usually packed to suffocation and in many mstances the aisles and other means of exit are filled with peopie, making escape almost impossible, but in any event imper- iling the lives of ail who attend. Tt has been truly said: “Twigs of resinous trees: fes- toons of leaves; wreaths of tissue paper: bags of netting; cotton bat- ting; fluffy clothes for dollies; toys of dried, painted wood; ornaments of explosive celluloid; mix and in- sert a few dozen candles.
