Warming to Girls

Notices advising country girls
against going to the cities alone in
search of work have been posted by
the state labor bureau in every rail-
road station in Minnesota. They
are in the form of large posters,
signed by w. E. McEwen, commits
sioner of labor, and by Mrs. Perry
Starkweather, assistant commits
sioner and head of the woman de-
partment, and reads as follows:
Do not go to large cities for work
unless you are compelled to.
If you must go, write at least
two weeks in advance to the Wo-
man S Department, Bureau of La
Dor, St. Paul, or to Young Wo-
mans Christian association, in the
city where you want to work.
They will obtain for you such a
position as you ask; tell you about
wages, boarding places and what
ever you want to know. Two days
before you leave home, write again
and tell the day and hour when
your train will arrive, and respon-
sible woman will meet you at the
station and take you safely to your
destination.
Do not ask questions of strangers
or take advice from them.
Ask a uniformed railway official
or a policeman.

said Commissioner McEwen, and
one that we have thought necessary
to take up. We are glad to help

NEW MINE
VermiliOn Steel & Iron Co.
Make Find

The Vermilion Steel & Iron COM
pany, of which T. J. Walsh, of
Duluth is president, is reported to
have met with unusual success in
exploring for iron ore on the Yer
million range, with the diamond
drill. Joseph Roy, who has charge
of the company's explorations,
came to Duluth yesterday. He
states that the company has shown
up several million tons of ore of
Bessemer grade with two diamond
drills, and with little or no dead
work.
The property is in 1924 and
will be recognized by people fa1ni1-
lar with the Vermilion range as
the Sheridan homestead. The
land was selected by James Sher-
idan about rs years ago. One of
the drills reached ore at 1876 feet
and continued in it until a depth
of more than 500 feet was attained
and was still in the mineral when
it was moved 900 feet to start a
fresh hole.
This drill is again in ore after
going through 80 feet of surface
and is now down SO feet. The first
hole, where 800 feet and more of
ore is shown, will be finished by a
heavier drill, as the one which was
there is not suited to a depth be-
yond 500 feet. Another drill has
shown about 800 feet of ore and is
reported to be still in the mineral.
The vein is 43O feet between the
walls and a number of testpits have
also shown ore.
The ore in one of the principal
holes resembles that of the Chand-
Ter and that of the other deep hole
resembles that of the Soudan mine.
Mr.. Roy says that the develop
ments have been surprisingly good
and that it is the intention to begin
a shaft soon.-Tuesday's

WINTON VS.. ELY
First Game Sunday in the
$3.50 Series

Sunday on the Winton grounds
will be played the first game in tho
controversy on between the Wintor
ball tossers and the Ely Fire De-
partment as to the supremacy OF
the two teams on the diamond.
So confident are both teams that
a side bet of $50 game has been
made besides the winners are to re-
ceive 90 per cent of the gate re-
ceipts. The games promise to be
interesting and draw most excellent
crowds as the teams are both good
and can produce a fast article of
ball.
John c. McGreevy, of Duluth,
has been engaged as umpire for
next Sundays game, a fact very
much appreciated by the fans.
Mr.. McGreevy is fair and under
stands the game thoroughly.
The game will be called at $3.50
as stipulated in the articles of
agreement. The players have also
all been stipulated. AS noted
above and contrary to last weeks
accounts, the first game will be
played at Winton, the next in Ely
and the team making the most
scores in the two games will have
the choice of grounds for the third
game.

able, but the fair management will
not sign a contract for any but one
that has stood the test of repeated
performances. The Minnesota
State Fair has already duplicated
the offer of SIS, ZOO for a race be-
tween the B1eriot and one of the
Wright's made by the Alaska Yu-
kon-Pacifc Exposition, but there
is no hope of arranging such a

Patrons of the Minnesota State

that if there is reliable aeroplane
in the market the State Fair of

Suicide

cord and from the position of his

could have appropriately been head
ed, Got What was Coming to
Him" The Tribune said:
Geo. M. Smith commenced
civil action yesterday in the district
court for a judgement for $1,000
against David T. Adams. Mr..
Smith purchased from Mr.. Adams
some shares of stock in the Cali
fornia Calaveras Mining company,
he says, on the assurance of Mr..
Adams that the company had waltz
able property, that he would have
to hurry to get the allotment of
stock or it would be all taken and
that Mr.. Adams would buy back
the stock at any time that the plain
tiff wanted to dispose of it.
Mr.. Smith asserts that the stock
has not now and never has had any
market value. He says great en-
phasis was placed by the salesman
on the fact that w. o. Manson was
the president of the company. Mr..
Smith wants judgement for 81 900,
the amount he paid, with interest
on part of it. The property was
alleged to be rich in gold and cop
per and, the plaintiff says, was re-
presented to have value of $780,

GUARANTY OF BANK DEPOSITS.


The cause is growing, Oklahoma,
Nebraska and Texas now have com
pulsory systems for the protection of
depositors in state banks In Texas
the state bank can choose between
joining the compulsory system and
giving individual security. but so far
every bank that has acted has decided
upon the guaranty system In Kansas
and South Dakota voluntary systems
have been adopted, while in Colorado.
Arkansas and Indiana the guaranty
bill passed one branch of the legisla-
ture.
Attorney General Wickersham has
delivered an opinion to the effect that
national banks are at liberty to insure
their depositors. and insurance com
panies are already being organized
for that purpose. The fight made last
year has had its influence, and in
spite of republican opposition to the
plan. the protection of depostors is
coming The republican leaders have
taken the side of the big financiers
but even the big dnanciers will in the
end be compelled to yield to the just
demand of the depositors for security
And so another democratic doctrine is
being indicated The democratic
party has something to be proud of
when it can. even in defeat, control
public sentiment and force its ideas
upon a reluctant opposition.-Com-

Poultry Yard Notes.

Eggs saved for Matching should be
kept at a moderate temperature and
should not be saved more than ten
days. Older eggs will hatch but the
chicks are not strong.
Good ensilage is good feed for
chickens. Only the amount the hens
eat up clean should be given each
day. Tankage is not to be depended
on.
The hen is an epicure. She enjoys
a variety of food. Table scraps, small
potatoes, cabbage leaves and yege-
tables of various kinds are appreci-
ated.
Scald drinking vessels at least once
each week. Pour out all water left
over in evening. The airing of the
vessels overnight helps to keep them
sanitary.
Keep the. dust boxes of yarded
fowls filled and add a sprinkling OF
insect powder or sulphur each week.
and then eve be too sure there are
no lice lurking around.
