United States Steel Bonds

The Steel Corporation has only
small amounts of subsidiary bonds
which mature and must be paid of
during the next four years. Its
recent sale of $50, SOC, 900 will take
care of all construction for the cur
rent year, and if earnings continue
to increase, no bonds will have to
be sold next year for that purpose.
Considering all these points. it
looks likely that the Steel Corpor-
alton will not be in the market
again for funds for a few years at
least. It has reserved $6, 200, 900
Illinois Steel debentures due 1910
to exchange for a like amount
maturing April l. 1918.
Subsidiary company bonds, total
ing $191, 400 900 outstanding, of
which 500, 517 900 are guaranteed
and $81 ,943 600 not. are divided
among 81 Issues and the first
maturity of $40, 100000 or more
does not come until 1910. Many
of the issues are being paid off in
installments each year. With ex-
ception of Illinois Steel debentures,
there are only about SIS. 900, OOe
securities of the Steel Corporation
maturing before 1920.

SOME BALL
Ely Plays Good Ball But
Loses Game

The Fire Department team went
to Aurora last Sunday where they
were defeated by the locals in one
of the best games seen for the
season. The boys held the fast
Aurora boys to no score until the
eighth inning when several bad
throws and a few opportune hits
let in five runs making a score in
Aurora's favor of S to 8. William
son pitched a fine game and he
received most excellent support up
to the time the balloon went up in
the eighth.
The Winton team slipped a
beauty over on the Two Harbors
boys last Sunday when the Port
City players were forced to return
home with the short end of II to
8 score. Winton played gilt edged
ball all the way through.
The Lawrence team and the
Winton second nine played good
game here Sunday, although a
heavy score resulted. The Law
renee team was the winner on, a
score of II to IL. This makes a
game apiece for these teams and
the deciding game will take place
probably on the W!nton grounds.
The Chandler and Pioneer teams
crossed bats Sunday. 1t took IL
innings to decide the contest the
score at the end standing IL to 10
in favor of the Pioneers.
Next Sunday Eveleth will be
here to play against Winton on the
Winton grounds. Eveleth has a
good team and so has Winton and
the game will be worth seeing.
John R. McCurdy manager of
the Fire Department team left
Monday for visit with relatives
in the Copper Country of Michi-
gan.

Why We Fight tuberculosis

People used to think tuberculosis
was inherited, says a prominent
physician. If your parents had it,
you were sure to have it, was the
idea. When it was studied more
this was proved false and it was
also found that tuberculosis killed
more people than any other disease
and that it can be prevented.
There is no need of getting tuber-
culosis.
Cleanliness, light and air in the
house do much to prevent develop
ment of germs which may lodge
there from those who already have
the disease.
There were 1856 people killed on
the Titanic and yet in Minnesota
each year over 1000 people die of
tuberculosis. Most of these lives
can be saved. Isn't it worth
fighting for.
tuberculosis very often takes
the man of the house when he is in
his prime and children are de-
pendent on him. And yet tuber-
culosis is easily controlled.
The states spends three cents per
capita to keep the public healthy
and $1.5O per capita to educate
the children. 1t spends more to
protect and develop the game and
fish of the state than it does to
guard public health.
