RICHEST COUNTRY
DISTRICT IN WORLD

One of the richest country
districts in the world is the town
snip of Stuntz, Mesa5i range. 1t
is approximately IL miles square
and includes all of the big mines in
the Hibbing field. The valuation
of the township is more than 500,
600, 900. 1t has been reported that
because of mining necessities the
u. S. Steel corporation contem-
plates the removal of the village of
Hibbing to new site. 1t may be
stated that while this wholesale
transfer of the metropolis OF the
range will eventually take place. it
is not likely that plans for the
undertaking will be taken up for
more than a decade to come.
Excepting in a very small area. the
mining activities of the steel cor
poration will not seriously encroach
upon the improved portions of the
town for the next Is years, and
possibly longer, Notwithstanding
that some streets even now front
upon yawning pits. 1t is we'll
known that Hibbing is unerlaid
with ore, controlled by the steel
corporation, and that some day the
village will have to give way to The
onslaughts of the miner. The only
incentive to an early removal,
perhaps would be that the town is
growing, and the job will be
larger and more expensive with the
lapse of time.
The transfer of Hibbing to e. new
location would not be without pre-
cedent on the Mesabi. A goodly
portion of Eveleth was shifted to
make room for the development of
tine steel corporation Spruce mine,
while the site of the former village
of Sparta is now ar open pit in
which steam shovels are at works.
The removal of Hibbing will be a
tremendous task, for while village
in name the community is busy

WOULD TEACH HOW TO EAT

"By little thinking a family
of five can save $3.50 a year in the
cost of living and yet have all that
they want to eat, for it is not the
quantity, but the proper combina-
tion and the proper mastication
tat the body needs" says w Earl
Flynn, commonly known as Daddy
Flynn, who is lecturing in this city
on health. He is an advocate of
the no.breakfast plan and he says
that the. number of meals that are
eaten is largely habit.
eff you eat no breakfast, cut
down the meat and in general reg
ulate the intake according to the
expenditure, you will be surprised
with the result. Most people eat
just as much when the old machine
is not working as when it is doing
the hardest kinds of WORK. A
person shuOld not eat just to salts
ify his craving for food. He should
eat intelligently, having an object
in view, as there are foods for in
different conditions foods for thick
and thin, blood foods that furnish
necessary salts. foods that will
make us fat and foods that will
make us thin"
Mr.. Flyn: believes tht the people
should be educated so that they
know the difference between a pro-
TEN, Carlo. hydrate and the other
necessary foods for it is of more
value, he says. to know what to eat
than it is TO have a knowledge of
astronomy and many of the subjects
that are taught in the schools. He
says the animals are far ahead of
man in this, for they know by in
stinct what they should eat under
the conditions in which they are
living. Indianapolis News.

ing the agricultural resources of Humboldt

Ten years ago, the U. S. Geological
Survey said there was sufficient water in
the valley to irrigate 10000 acres of land.
Today, the Commissioner of Industry,

This is the largest and most important

only large one left in the United States not
exploited.
The returns to stockholders will be very
large, and land owners and present water

Engineer Green. Engineer Green
informed the writer last evening

reason why it should not be COM

conclusion is reached this afternoon
the contract will probably be made.

On Aetna,

Acting Is not trade which tends
to stability and dignity OF character,
but encourages sensibiiity and flashes
OF warm instinct. Extreme alertness
to praise and blame, harmoniously
combined with vanity and absorption
in one topic, are almost necessity Of
the occupation; hut this existence,
however narrow and distorted, has the
primal virtues of vividness and vital
ity. 1t not only depicts human pas
sions, but It also requires in its serv-
ants varied and constantly ready
fund Of emotions and instincts. Lack.
Ing the free air of independence and
impartial thought, It has to the full

others. A beetle design is very
popular, as is one depicting fat,
squirming eel. Buddah himself has
been pressed into service as a
model. Swans, correct to the last
