time prior to April %, subject to the
ten per cent penalty. After that date
they will be given into the hands of
the sheriff for collection.
The amount of delinquent personal
taxes has not been totaled by the
county treasurer. but it is thought
that the amount will be slightly in
excess of the figures for former years.
County Treasurer L. Fl. Whipple
said in discussing the personal tax
delinquencies: Formerly this county
observed the practice of advertising
the date upon which the taxes would
become delinquent, and in this way
many who had forgotten the fact
would be notified. Public. Examiner
Johnson, however. ruled that this
Office had no right to do so, and per-
haps he is right. But / believe the
publication would save the taxpayers
money, and when we do that we save
that much for the county"

1t is said that the large and costly
ore crushing plant to be built by the
Oliver Iron Mining company at Es-

The Duluth papers have been telling
tale of the brightness of John Hrs
ito a youth of .Eveleth, who up to
about a year ago attended school in
this city where his parents lived at
the time. The papers state the boy
is 10 years of age and transacts all his
fathers business. Hirstio ST. is tie
and pulpwood contractor and the boy
makes regular trips to Duluth where
he contracts for cars, sells and receives
the proceeds and performs all other
parts of the puzzling business.
Lake County has voted to bond in
the sum of $40, 900 for the purpose of
erecting a new court house IN the

80 ballots on the proposition and all
were in favor. In speaking of the

Paw Your Taxes.

Personal taxes which were allowed
to become delinquent must be paid by
April %, or the sheriff will then make
the collections, and, in addition to the
ten per cent now due, will also add
his charges. The increase, in the case
of small taxes especially, frequently
doubles the amount Of the original
tax.

a wise air.
Il wish / could be sure that every child
in this school has 80 good luncheon as
that" sighed the principal after Margaret
had disanI cared.
Would it not be a good rlan then to give
to the children in the poorer districts a
free breakfast2' she was asked.
Il think not" was her answer. .Such
a proceeding would only help to raurcrize
them and Put the public schools on plane
with Industrial schools.
"The whole country is proud Of its public
schools and the public school system.
There would be no cause for pride we're the
schools turned into charitable institutions.
IF the children were fed, next thing
they would expect to be clothed, and after
that to be supplied with work at good pay.
No. think it would be a step in the wrong
direction"
The principal who made the declaration
in favor of an independent bread and
cheese diet, thoughtfully added that in the
case OF children who were known to be
handicapped in school work for lack Of
su Ilcient food it might be advisable to
hand them a meal ticket occasionally
which could be made good at restaurant.
Even that plan, though, might fail Of
its object" said he, @for the reason that. IL

were to be had, boys, and girls, too, who
really could get enough to eat at home

get to eat, or do eat, then. but know very
many Of them have little OF no breakfast
| will say this, however: l have not found
that the stupid children, the boys and gils
who seldom manage to get even low
average Of marks, are those who get the
least to eat, Sometimes it seems to be
Just the reverse.
Il have in mind four OF FIVE children
who know are underfed, and yet they are
the brightest in this school. On the other
hand, can think of several this minute
who are so overstuffed, as a rule, that it
seems to be impossible to cram anythin G
into their heads.
There is one boy, for instance who al
most invariably comes back from luncheon

Of his teacher.

in such cases l always find out the reason,
which is most often that the children have
to get their own breakfast. Bread and
coffee seems to he the staple breakfast
among the poorer families, and 1t is often
bread and butter again for luncheon, with
tea or milk to wash 1t down.
