FIGURES THAT AMAZE.

Wallace Miner:-The importance
of the country newspapers in the
United States can better be appre-
ciated, perhaps. when it is realized
that they serve vastly larger per-
centage of the population of the
United States than do the city pap
ers. The truth of this statement
may be doubted by many readers
that have long believed that the
great centers of population in the
big cities overshadows in numbers
the people of the county and sub
urban sections. Butany such doubts
are i'll founded.
The country and suburban areas
of the United States not only domi-
nate the. big cities in combined pop
ulation. but they are rapidly increas-
ing in population exrept in sections
where the Canadian land booming
ads and other Canadian propaganda
are in full sway. The mighty mis-
sion of the country papers is more
clearly revealed by a study of
official figures.
The total population of the
United States exclusive of Hawaii,
the Philippines, etc.. is 1000. 900.
The aggregate population of cities
in 1910 was 22.O88. 1881 of whom
1909, oO4 were of central cities and
1888, 427 in suburban areas. The
residents of the suburban areas can
not rightly be classed as city people,
yet they alone amount to almost one
third of the number populating the
actual cities. The 1909, oO4 net
population of the cities subtracted
from the 81. OOO,O 900 population of
the entire continental United States
leaves 1900. Oo6 as the combined
population of the country and SUBJ
urban districts. This shows that
about 81 per cent of the people of
the United States live in the country
and suburban sections. The coun-
try papers dominate this vast field.
They are in truth the moral police
force, as Brisbane describes them,
of about four-fifths of the inha Bit
ants of the entire United States.
That they should remain indepen-
dent and be aided in advancement
is in the interest of the United States.
The foregoing figures show that the
country papers can be the greatest
force either for good or for evil in
the entire nation because they are
read by sweeping preponderance
of numbers.

mer open air campaigns. In no
other country of the world is this
noticeable. Young America is be-
ing taught to seek the air at all
times. Even in the steam heated
buildings are the windows kept
open in order to get the full al
lowance of fresh air. Foreign
nations are prone to sleep in un-
ventilated rooms even after coming
to this country. tuberculosis and
all manner of other diseases are the
outcome. The North American
Indian is an example of the efficacy
of the open air theory. Many of
these, who, eat, sleep and have
their being in the open, live to
years into the hundred.
Give the people open air amuse-
ments and good fresh water and
they will get along all right.

348, ,601 tons, says Iron Trade Re-
view. This great total exceeds the
entire shipment for the record year
1910, when the feet moved A.
620,201 tons. In November, 1909,
the fleet moved 4, ,S99, ,22O tons, and
the outlook is that the movement
this month will be in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 tons, making the
lake movement for the year about
48, 800, 900 tons. Adding the all
rail shipments, it is probable that
the entire movement will exceed
49. 900, 900 tons.
The distinction between reser-
vation and a sale is sometimes a
very fine one, and while all ore
shippers agree that the market has
not been open in the sense that sales
have been made at a stated price,
reservations are very heavy and
some of them are so definite as
practically to amount to sales.
Ore men are confident that no
trouble will be experienced in sell
ing at present at an advance of SO
cents over this years prices. but if
present prosperous conditions con
tinue, the advance may be more
than so cents. Statistics presented
elsewhere in this issue, showing
how Lake Superior ores have de-
clined in iron content during the
past 10 years and increased in
phosphorus content, indicate that
the base ore may again be changed
by lowering the guarantees on iron
| content. The demand for vessels
is active, and considerable wild'ton-
mage is being carried.

DR.. MERIcA, the new head OF
the Red Wing training school, be-
fore a Woman's League in St.
Paul, made statements that will
set heavy on the minds of some.
DR.. Merica, before coming to Min
nesota was president of the Univer-
sity of Montana. He said among
other things:
Until just recently our public
school system has been regulated
without any regard to personal
preference. There now is evidence
of change, but in the past this
rigidity has besn productive OF
criminals. There is no reason in
the world why pupils should be
compelled to take studies tha,
give them mental indigestion"
I'VE have made our institutions
of learning artificial, by building
up courses of study that take nc
cognizance of the difference ir
human nature. There is no rela
ton between culture and refine
ment; there is no study or combin
alton of studies that will develop
alone true womanliness and manli
ness, and there is no study that ht
or she may not be totally ignorant
of without being lesser man OF
woman.
THE child that is behind tht
other pupils is not backward
There is nothing the matter will
him. He needs an operation sure
enough; he needs to have his teach
ers removed, or perhaps the schoo
superintendent and the schoo
board. But boy is not defective
because he cannot tell an adjectiy'
from an adverb. 1t is only mat
ter of preference. There are many
men in this audience who canno
tell SIS horse from a 5000 one

ALL the Mesaba range towns are
following in the footsteps of Ely
and are providing free open air
skating rinks for the children and
also the older ones. This form of
public amusement is of the healthier
kind and is appreciated by the cit
izens of a community. The cost
of maintenance of the rinks is as
nothing compared with the benefits
derived and the amusement fur
nished. The Ely rink has been in
operation for the past six years and
thousands have availed themselves
of the opportunity to secure good
healthful outdoor amusement with
out going to the lake. Accidental
drowning while skating have been
eliminated altogether. Every city
can do an usestimable favor to the
children by furnishing them with
these free rinks. Every vacant
level lot could be put in use and
places provided for all the kids.

difficulty they experience in con-
forming to new environment.
1t is hard to establish moral
relationships. Usually the de6ni-
tion of wrong is what the other
person likes, and that of right
what you like Wrong is pretty
largely attributable to failure to fit
into the social life. This is con-
stantly changing, and is embodied
in law only for the time being.
You cannot catch the habit of to-
day, and make it the habit of eter-
nifty. No man has caught the final
truth; no man ever will"
It is the inability of boy to
fit into this law of the present that
produces the criminals. 1t is hard
for man used for generations to
roaming in the fields of Europe to
come to the city of paved streets
in America. The children are
kicked off the sidewalk; they start
to play on the street and are chased
off by whizzing automobiles; back
to the sidewalk they 60, again to
be chased off, this time by police
men.
Most of the boys brought into
our courts are children of foreign
ers. They cannot easily fit into
Our social life. 1t would be the
same for US if we would go abroad.
I think investigation of the lives of
the parents abroad would show
that they had never been arrested.
Other causes of criminality are the
social system, that keeps a father
and mother so busy that they have
little time left to care for their
children.

A few years ago George S. Barnes
purchased the timber on claim a
few miles south of his place in the
town of Barnes, and had until last
spring to take the timber off under
the terms of the timber deed. He
was not ready to remove the timber
at the time limited and when he
tried to get an extension of time,
the owner of the land put the price
at a prohlbitiye figure. Mr.. Barnes
felt that he was being held up, so be
put q crew in and cut the timber
and when thus converted into per-
sonal property the law gave him a
reasonable length of time to remove
it after the expiration of the time
set in the timber deed. But the
timber was long way from market
and the only feasible thing to do
was TO cut it into lumber where it
was. So he set up his portable mill
aud began cutting last Monday.
There is about a million feet alto
gether of jack pine and norway and
It will require the mill about sixty
days to finish.

The great and good work of these
doctors in the Northwest during
the past three years has gained for
them standing that places them in
the high rank of specialism and mer-
its for them the most implicit con-
fidence in every vicinity they .have

The United Doctors, with Labora-

began in Wisconsin over two years
ago; you no doubt have heard of
them, possibly know them personal
ly through treating you, or some of
your family, If not ask your neigh
bors about them.
These United Doctors have no con-
nections with other United Doctors
that have recently begun in Wiscon-
sin and are endeavoring to work up
practice upon their reputation.
The Doctors that constitute this
organization of specialists were Sc
lected from different parts of the
country and are Medical Specialists
of ability and success. The sole OBJ
ject in view, when organizing, that
each one might be benefited and en-
lightened by the experience of the
others which naturally of course is
true, and has led them to success
which is shown by their many cures
of diseases OF the stomach, iutes-
tines, liver. blood, skin, granulated
eyelids, nerves. heart, spleen, kid
neys or bladder, rheumatism, dropsy
ulcers. weak lungs, and those afflict
ed with long standing, deep seated,
chronic diseases, that have baff1ed
the skill of the family physician,
should not fail to call.
According to their system no
