The subject Of Fit is too
often treated too lightly.
We'd hesitate to say that
it's a cinch to fit anybody,
even though we haven't the
slightest trouble fitting nine
ty-nine out Of every hundred.
Our stock embraces every
size from 30 to 81 chest.
In most sizes we cut longs, "
shorts, Stouts" and "short
stouts, besides regulars"
We remember too that
every man isn't an Adonis,
and have special models to fit
different types.
Result is. that 8 large alter
alton is the eXception--and
that's the secret Of preserving
the balance Of a perfect gar
ment, assuring good fit ard
graceful hang throughout the
whole long life Of the suit.

RARE FIND FOR ANTIoUARIES
Skeleton of Man In Coffin Of Masonry
Unearthed Near Ancient Resi-
dencc In ireland.

Human remains have been found
In a field on the farm Of Collision
Mill, on the estate of Collision,
owned by Mr.. PEBBLES Chaplin Of
Collision castle, Ireland. 1t seems
that the tenant of Collision Mill,
Mr.. George Bennett, while engaged
in blowing operations on the farm,
came in contact with large stone.
He endeavored to unearth the stone,
but was unsuccessful, and he called
one of his men to his assistance. On
removing quantity of earth with a
spade a coffin built of masonry was
discovered, with the skeleton of what
appeared to be large man inside.
The masonry was covered with an
irregular stone slab, and toward the
foot smaller stones had been used
where the slab was deficient in length
to conceal the remains. The coffin
was about three feet in width. The
skeleton was practically intact, the
skull being complete, while the up
per row of teeth were in splendid
state of preservation. On being ex-
posed to the air the lower jaw began
to crumble away. Near the head OF
the skeleton an urn was found,
chased with gold. The urn was five
or six inches in height, and resem-
bled an Indian vessel. The farmer
communicated with the county po-
lice, who had the remains removed.
The place where the discovery was
made is in field near the farm
steading and in close proximity to
Collision castle, an ancient residence
of much historic interest.

The game put up by these two
teams was full of ginger and pep

Met With the Legislature

Mayor John A. Harri was in
Virginia Wednesday evening
where he attended the meeting of
range town delegates with the
members-elect of the legislature
and the senate and at which laws
OF beneht to the ranges were dis
cussed. 1t was decided to draft
a county division bill that would
meet with the approval of the
people of the ranges and give the m
chance to vote on the question of
division without the entanglements
OF county seat or county officer
fight.
John Owens OF Cook threw some
hot shots into the range towns on
their Indifference to the farmers of
this section. He said Virginia was
asked for market place and built
skating rink instead. ]. ]. Glea-
son OF Eveleth scored the present
method of appointing a mine in
spector and thought the officer
should be elected. The Tower
people were not satisfied with the
manner in which the state game
game and fish commission took
spawn from Lake Vermilion and
Mayor Harri of this city was of the
opinion that netting big fish in the
lakes of the county should be allow
ed.
The meeting was a harmonious
affair and everyone was pleased
with the interest shown. The
meeting was the direct result of
the desire of Senator Griggs of this
district to get in touch with the de-
mands of the people ON the laws
and his desire to be of service to the
district and the state. A campaign
committee of one from each of the
towns on the ranges was named
and Mr.. Harri was named from
Ely.

State employees have been won
dering and some of them have been
asking what sort of an examination
they will have to pass when the
new civil service law goes into ef-
feet. Will the forest rangers have
to analyze sentence from Milton S
Paradise Lost" like we used to
have to do in school? Will attend
ants in insane hospitals be asked to
spell Bixschoote or Przemysl?
If the efficiency commission S
plan is adopted, they will not have
to pass any examination
The efficiency commission does
not see any point in examining a
man to find out whether he is cap
able of doing the work that he is
doing. The man who knows that
best is his superior officer. If he
is doing all right, it does not need
any adventitious test to inform
him. If his service is not satisfac-
tory the man at the top knows
what he can do about it.
The bill which embodies the eff
cheney commissions plan will as
sumo that the staff is reasonably
competent everywhere. If there
are weak places they can be
strengthened by judicious wedding,
exactly as would be done in private
business, much better than by a
clean sweep.
When any man now working for
the state wants to get different
sort of a job in the state service that
is another matter. He will have to
take an examination just like any
body else. Possibly the civil SER
vice board will think best to give
preference to people in the service.
If they do, they will have the right
to give present employees whatever
credit for previous service they
think proper.
In fact, the whole plan, so far as
it has been shaped by the efficiency
commission, is an attempt to apply
to the conditions of state service
nothing whatever but plain, old
fashioned horse sense.
Having adopted the forestry
amendment, the state can hardly
put it into effect without first
ascertaining which land is good
farm land ard which is natural
timber land. w. T. Cox, state
forester, was the first to suggest
that this should be done at once
and his idea was that it could be
handled by a board, including the
governor, the Auditor, the attorney
general and the dean of the agri-
cultural school.
Of course, the way the state is
now organized, something like that
will be necessary. You cannot
leave it to the land men to say
what land is suitable for forestry

Many Changes

Postmaster General Burleson in
his annual report states that the
postoffice department is now on a

for the past year of over three
million dollars.
The legislative program recon-
The Ely miner., 1914-12-18

and you cannot leave it to forestry
enthusiasts to decide how much
ought to be reserved for other pur-
poses.
But as soon as the efficiency COM
missions plan is adopted, that
point, like many others, takes care
of itself. There will be a land man
in the department of public domain
with good eye for places to put
settlers, and cruisers under him to
keep him posted, like the cruisers
now under the auditor. There
will be man under the same de-
partment at the head of the forestry
bureau with a good eye for places
to plant trees and the forest rangers
under him will bring in informa-
tion about the field.
Over both of these men will be
the director of public domain, a
good level headed business
manager, who will be not so much
an enthusiast for settlers or an
enthusiast for forests as an enthus-
last for Minnesota.
The day that law goes into effect
the classification of land can begin
without costing the state an addi-
tional cent. There will still be
need of a soil survey and the soil
survey will cost something. But
the classification that can be made
by the men in the department,
which will be accepted by every
body as fair and final, will cover a
large part of the ground and at any
rate will keep ahead of any develop
ment work until a more complete
survey is undertaken.
If there are any questions of pub
lie policy remaining to be settled
that should require the judgment
of board, even then the board is
right there ready to be called in.
There will be in this plan board
of public domain-and one is need
ed to take care of certain provisions
of law now on the books, which
are not properly executive duties.
This board will be in touch with
every angle of the work and will
also be in touch with public senti-
ment. It would have been very
valuable to Wisconsin to have had
such board in connection with its
forestry reservations.
If the efficiency plan had been
made to order to suit this parti-
cular case, it could. not have fitted
better. As matter of fact, having
fundamental basis, it will provide
the machinery for any new phase
that may come up, either without
alteration or by slight addition
that will not affect the general
design.
Adopt this plan and it won't be
necessary to create new board
every time the state makes a new
motion.
