Sandy Hamilton, who appeals to all
ygood citizens who can do so to send
such sweaters to legion auxiliary state

Minneapolis, for distribution among
the "boys who need them. The tubercu

of such sweaters.

Hill's Dream Coming True.
When James J. Hill, a score of years
ago, employed experts on his^ own ac
count to investigate the possibilities of
using the vast deposits of Minnesota
peat for fuel his efforts Nwere derided
as visionary and his scheme as imprac
tical. But coal was comparatively
cheap then and there was no incentive,
except thought for the distant future
for finding a handy substitute. The
empire builder, however, was in the
habit of thinking twenty or more years
ahead and today his plan for using
peat effectively in industrial opera
tions seem about to be realized.
The group of St. Paul business men
who inspected the peat production op
erations on the bogs in Carleton coun
ty'at Corona were much impressed
with the* wonderful possibilities and
are firmly of the opinion that peat is
the ultimate solution of our fuel prob
lems 'it has been demonstrated by re
peated experiments in St. Paul and
Minneapolis office buildings and manu
facturing plants that peat is an ex
cellent and cheap steam producer, and
the Corona visitors wero more than
sa\~,fied with the opeiation of --the
cheap processes where'oy it can be
made available for use.
The last legislature voted an ap-
ty of Minnesota for the study of the
enormous peat resources of the state
and the uses of this substance, not on
ly for fuel but for ether commercial
purposes such as the making of dyes
and insulation material. The course
of these investigations will be ob
served with interest, ard it will be the
first time the state on its own account
ever has done anything worth while
looking towards the development of
natural resources.
It is well known that Minnesota
contains the largest merchantable
peat deposits in the United States.
There are literally hundreds of bil
lions of tons of this potential fuel
found in the eighty of the eighty-six
counties. Much of it is on state land,
which makes the development of the
industry of prime importance to all
the people. Great beds are to be
found at our doorstep in northern
Ramsey county and in Anoka and Hen
nepin counties. The immense Corona
deposit, however, is considered the
best quality yet discovered.
Peat is used successfully as a fuel
in many European countries. Because
of the excessive coal prices, if it can
be produced cheaply enough in this
state, it will revolutionize our whole
industrial and economic life and make
Minnesota the manufacturing center
of the west. From the experiments
already carried on there seems to be
no reason to doubt the feasibility of
peat fuel on a commercial scale, and
no effort should be spared by either
the state or private capital to make
the venture a success.
Thus is one of the dreams of the^
empire builder becoming a reality af
ter his death.St. Paul Dispatch.
BEATS MARY'S FAMOUS LAMB

Dun no Hot Spell,
Louis Goecke, better known as "Pat"
In amateur circles, was mowing the
grass on the lawn ot his home In Cin
cinnati recently. In the course of the
work he ^vas cutting alongside a hedge
with a pair of clippers.
"Ba-a-a," came from the other side
of i:he hedge.
Goecke looked up. A neighbor was
sitting on the porch reading.

"Ba-a-a sounded again.

Finally Goecke threw down,his clip

and said:
"Are yon gujing me?"
The other looked up with surprise.
"Guying you' Why, not What makes
you think so?"
"Well, stop that 'baa-tag Goecke
said.
"Oh, that's It. I'll show you what
that is." and tfie neighbor went back
among the bushes and pulled out a
lamb. "I bought it yesterday," he ex
plained.
Immediately Goecke was seized with
an Idea. "Lend it to me, will you?" he
asked. The neighbor was obliging.
The lamb finished the grass cutting
job, and Goecke enjoyed the cool and
quiet of a shady nook on his porch.

A hermit leads a fascinating^ life.
So W. D. Clark says, and he .ought to
know, for he has been a hermit In the
arctic wilderness nearly a quarter of
a century.
"Once a hejrfrilt, always a Jiermlt,"
says Mr. Clark. "A hermit wants no
body's pity. He enjoys his solitude
and- wouldn't trade it for the pleas
ures and excitement of cities. I have
be'ep in civilization a year now and
11 am going back home to the wilder
ness as quickJy ns I can. There are
no fakirs, swindlers and thieves there."
Mr. Clark's home cabin Is on the
headwaters of Peel river, 180 miles
from Herschel island and 110 miles
from Fort McPherson. His nearest
neighbor is 56 miles away. They see
each other once a year. With the ex
ception of this man, Abe Schafer, Mr.
Clark is the only human being in a
thousand square miles of country. The
Indians do not go that far north and
the Eskimos do not come that far
south.
"I have seen 10,000 caribou in ft
herd," Mr. Clark said. "They go to
the arctic coast in the spring to have
(heir young and in September they re
turn south to the edge of the timber,
where tliey can find shelter and moss
qn which they live."
The mercury goes 75 degrees below
In winter, Mr. Clark says, but it is
the most healthful climate In the
world. Old-timers up there, he de
clares, do not know what sickness
means.
Indian Name Restored.
The United States geological board
has restored the ancient Indian name
to the Cataract canyon and creek in

Havasu, the Sky-blue Water.
Havasu Canyon, in the western sec

is destined within a few years to be
come one of the scenic points, which
visitors to the national park will de
sire to see. In its depth there is a
primitive Indian tribe living. They
are the Havasupai, the people of the
Sky-blue Waters.
Less than 200 Indians live in this
blooming garden where old fig or
chards yield enormous crops and corn
grows 10 feet high. The tribe has
just held Its own for many genera
tions.
