ACCORDING to Brother Atkinson,
of the Northome Record, the Repub-
lican party must be in sore straits
in that neck O. the woods. He al
leges that at the Republican caucu-
ses recently all Of the members OF
the party in Northome were present
and that it was tight squeeze to get
enough delegates to attend the coun.
ty convention. Elsewhere in the
same issue, however, Brother Atkin.

J. S. ARNESON, of Chisholm, the
Sam Gordon manager, expresses him
self as we'll pleased at the prospect
of direct primary vote for the re-
publican gubernatorial nomination,
believing the range will stick by his
man. Perhaps, but we candidly be-
lieve the only thing which may ever
save Governor Eberhart will be a
state wide primary act.

MANY RESIDENCES GOING UF

MANY RESIDENCES GOING UP.
The building season has set in and
a number of new houses are going
up all over the city. A noticeable
feature in this connection is the fact
that nearly all the buildings are be-
ing erected by the owners, who in
tend to occupy them when completed.
Another feature is that nearly all of
these houses are being built in the
south part of the city, although a
number are being erected on the
Northside and many more are being
planned for erection there this sum-
mer. It is understood that a num-
Der of business blocks will be erected
on Chestnut street this season and
also that a number of business build
ings will be repaired and remodeled.

TAKE a dollar bill and fold it Sew
eral times each way, then unfold it
and you will find it in creases. Keep
the increase, but send the original
bill to the printer who put you onto
the scheme. Then take silver dol
lar and drop it onto the counter,
notice the ring it makes. Send the
ring to your best girl and the dollar
to the printer and everybody will be
happy.

THE big registration for the ap-
preaching contest shows a lively in
terest on the part of Virginians in
city affairs: We believe it also
shows an interest portending toward
the reelection of the entire six al
dermen desired by some to be re-
called, if the sentiment that may be
heard on the street may be taken
as criterion Of popular feeling.

1T is reported that Alex. Mcknight,
Of Duluth, who came here at the re-
quest of the Progressive League to
tell the citizens Of Virginia what
they should do in the recall election,
doubled the subscription list to his
Weekly Record during his stay of
two days in the city. 1t is to be
presumed the Weekly Record will in
future take the place of the local
press in reciting the contentious OF
the League, at least until such time
as the "independent" newspaper
shall have been established in this
city.

THE village of Hibbing on Tues
day evening awarded the contract
for furnishing coal for the village
use for the ensuing year to the
Northern Coal & Dock company, Du-
luth, at a price of $2.94 per ton. 1t
would be lots easier on the coal bill
of many a private consumer If he
were the village of Hibbing evidently.

That this census will help solve some
of the problems centering around
"retardation" of pupils.
Ages for the Grades.
In answer to the question often
asked as to what is Regarded as the
proper age for each grade in the
system l will say that child should
complete the kindergarten by the
time he is years of age; complete
the first grade at Z; complete the
second grade at 8; complete the
third grade at 8; complete the fourth
grade at 10; complete the fifth grade
at IL; complete the sixth grade at
IL; complete the seventh grade at
10; complete the eighth grade at IA.
Pupils behind this schedule are
said to be RETARDED" Many parents
make the mistake of not sending
their children to the kindergarten as
soon as they are five years of age or
better a little before that age.

If those people who seemingly
take delight in peddling the state
ment that 1.-The newspapers of Vir-
ginia do not have to pay light, power
or water bills" will kindly drop into
the Enterprise office we will take
pleasure in disabusinE their minds
of the erroneous impression, insofar
as the Enterprise is concerned, at
least. Bills and receipts for the
service ought to be proof sufficient
to convince most anyone, it would
seem to us.
