UTTERLY CRUSHED.

It was a warm, radiant summer

shimmered in the park, Robert Peeler

utmost to make favorable impression
on the pretty nursemaid. whilst the
latter's small charge busily chased
elusive butterflies.

Hope sprang into Roberts heart.
And what would you do with me?"

In the efficiency commissions
plan the department of health is
made part of the larger depart
ment of public welfare. Its work
fits there beautifully. In the in
stitutions the state takes care of the
people who have broken down. In
the department of health the state
tries to meet conditions under
which people are apt to break down.
While one branch of the work is
conducted in the institutions and
the other in the state at large, and
while the methods are entirely
different, the general purpose is
the same and they have many
points of contact in actual opera
ton.
Some people will think that the
health work of the state is so i'm
portant that it ought not to be
made part of a department but
should stand alone. This plan
does not in any way diminish the
importance of the health depart
ment. It's needs can be as fully
presented as if it stood entirely
alone. The plan of organization
makes the head of the bureau of
health a permanent officer, whose
term will not depend on change
of administration. That's the
idea as to all bureau chiefs. Over
the commissioner of health will be
the director of the department of

OPINIONS OF OTHERS

The central factor in the govern
ment of every county under the
Minnesota organization is the
auditor. His office is the hub from
which the spokes of the wheel
radiate and into which they fit.
The treasurer is but bookkeeper.
The register of deeds has charge
only of recording land transfers.
The judge of probate has no other
duties than concern estates. The
clerk of court is but what his title
shows.
But the auditor is the holder of
the money bags. Through his
Office must pass, for his endorse
ment, every financial transactions.
He has to do with every other
Office, and he has immense powers.
His 20. K" is necessary on every
expenditure, and he must know all
the laws that effect the county and
its people, as the officer of a lodge
knows the ritual. He is a final
arbiter, also, in all matters of taxa
ton.
He is, too, clerk of the board of
county commissioners, which puts
the right man in position to have
great influence with the Individual
members and in their united action,
while in his other capacity as audi
tor his authority over appropria-
tions and expenditures makes him
a very potent factor. He can be
arbitrary or tactful, but forceful he
must be. or his county suffers.
1t is no small matter of impor-
lance that St. Louis county is con-
coded everywhere in the state to
have the best auditor in Minnesota.
It is conceded that in all matters of
taxation his dictum is about the
last word. In the management of
county affairs he has no superior.
In the administration of the intri-
cate details of the county's i'm
mense business his methods are
taken as model. He has organic

RED CROSS SEALS
100000 Sold in l9l3--
Minnesota Sold G0Od|y Share

More than a. 900, 900 Red Cross
Christmas Seals were sold last
December, according to a report
issued by The National Association
for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis, and the American
Red Cross. In this way $40, 900
is netted for anti-tuberculosis work
in various parts of the United
States.
The sale in 1913 is a gain of
4 10000 seals over 1912, or 10
per cent. 1t is hoped that this
year the 5O,OOO,OOO mark will be
reached. The seal design for 1914
has been selected and orders for the
printing of 100000, 900 seals have
been placed. Plans for the or
ganization of larger sale this year
than ever before have been per-
fected.
New York State lead the country
last year with a sale of over TO-
500, 900 seals or one for each man /,
woman and child in the state. Of
this number, more than 6,S25 900
were sold outside of New York
City. Ohio came next with sale
of 100000. Hawaii sold the
most seals per capita, the total sale
being somewhat over two for each
inhabitant. Rhode Island came
second with a sale of two per
person.
Beginning with sale of IS, $780,
900 in 1908, in six seasons the
revenue which these little holiday
seals have brought to the anti
tuberculosis campaign has more
than tripled, an aggregate for the
period of over 81 100000 or $780,
600. 900 seals.
Minnesota, in 1913, bought 1922
764 of the "A, 900, 900 Red Cross
Christmas Seals sold through the
union. This number would pro-
badly have been much larger if the

When the city of Ely, on the

ter it made mistake, which it is
now realizing. The city recently
attempted to pave its streets, pay
ing therefor out of the general
fund, when the mining companies
stepped in with an injunction and
put a stop to it. The district
court has decided that but one
third of the amount can be paid
out of the general fund, and that
the remaining two-thirds must be
paid by the abutting property
owners. The mining company
contends that insomuch as it pays
eighty per cent of the city taxes
with nothing counted for mineral
reservations it should have a say
in municipal matters, and it is up

to appear as butting into anybody S

top of that.-Hibbing Mesaba Ore.

ed his Office like that of a great
business corporation, and he is
never credited with mistakes.
When it is remembered that the
transactions of his Office equal
those of Hennepin and Ramsey
combined; that one-fourth of the
tax revenues of the state pass
through his hands as transactions;
that in area St. Louis County is a
state; that its interests are the most
varied, its property interests the
largest and its tax problems the
most intricate in the state, the re-
sponsibilities resting upon Odin
Halden can be better appreciated.
In his long service he has won
the entire confidence of the great
est and least of the taxpayers by
the simple process of knowing his
duties, of being right and fair, but
conceding favors to no one. His
pride is in his office; it has become
his life, and it pays him largely in
the satisfaction of the service.
St. Louis County chose wisely
when he was first elected. 1t has
been tenfold wise in retaining his
service. 1t is beyond doubt that
he is worth to this county 10 times
his salary. 1t would be the height
of folly to transfer his duties to a
stranger to them. Tribune

ONE PHASE OF MARRIED LIFE
Seeming Unhappiness Most Probably Due to Lack Of Something to
 Talk About.

It Is the eternal tete-a-tete of mar ried life that most critics of that bliss ful condition find fault with From it spring boredom and dull, sodden si- lence, assert these cynics. Therefore, hint for escaping this one depress- ing quality of marriage should have our best attention.
 To Illustrate, you will see it ire quently on the trolley when a man and his wife are sitting side by side il is almost perpetual silence They have nothing to say to one another. Perhaps the wife will emit a cheerful peep. but the husband will respond with nod of the head or a hesitating yes or no. It is most always that way No common interest observed In fact 1t looks as if they are mad at one an. other; as if they were bored. A young man or woman looking on the couple would be apt to say: 70, you married life"
 But they are not mad. Let some charming lady acquaintance come in and sit down by the husband and he is all smiles and has plenty to say. Then he is a cordial companion. He Is a changed man. And the same 1t would be with the woman. Now, don't misin- terpret the scene. When that man and wife get back home they drop their trolley manners and act sensibly and lovingly again. Mad-he would just as likely be mad at the evening star or bush full of roses. But you wouldn't think 1t on the trolley-New York Tribune.

FACTS ABOUT SAVING MONEY
Figures Seem to Show That Amsri cans Are Not as Extravagant as
 Has Been Supposed.

The size of a mans income has lit tie or IT. hing to do with the amount of money he saves Some interesting statistics have recently been gathered by the United States labor bureau showing the portion of the income saved by men in a variety of profes. sions and trades. Incidentally, more than one-third of the men examined confessed to having saved nothing
 The average saving among the bank CTS and brokers was found to be sur prisingly high. With an average in come of about s7,O00 year. the ex. penditures Of family were found to be about $5,000, thus leaving practi- cally 30 per cent to the good Among lawyers with an average income of $4,OOO, the average amount saved was nearly s1,500 a year.
 The figures relating to physicians were particularly surprising. The av- craze income was sf,000 a year, and the average savings only $700
 Among railroad officials the rropor- tion of the income saved v-os under ZO per cent About the sa-~7 r"opor- ton was found among men c'ruleved In manufacturing concerns, vi.h in- comes of $3,0O0 year. The class that saves the least. according to the in- vest1gation, were the clergymen. From the experience of several clergymen With an average income of $3,0O0 a year, 1t was found that less than 10 per cent of the incomes was saved. Among professors and teachers, the proportion saved was considerably better. averaging over 25 per cent.
