believe in building the first unit, if

HOUSEWIVES LEAGUE
Duluth Postmaster Talks Interest
ingly to Women on Market .
ing by Parcel Post

At a meeting of the Housewives
league Tuesday afternoon in the IL
<brary clubroom, Postmaster w. e.
McEwen gave an interesting talk on
marketing by Parcel Post" The
postmaster discussed the parcel post
system in its relation to both pro-
ducers and consumers.
THE government" said Mr.. Nc
Even, has been making a genuine
effort to relieve the public in the
matter Of the high cost of living. The
public has responded, and from the
first the postoffces throughout the
country have been besieged with
packages. At present the Duluth
postoffce is handling 400 incoming,
and 1,400 outgoing packages, with
the number constantly increasing.
1.-THE present facilities for ham
ding them, however, are entirely in
adequate. We expect soon to add an
other wagon, or else use an autonno-
bile truck for delivery. Two govern
nent officials are expected to visit
Duluth at an early date, to look over
the ground and consider changes
1.-THE government is anxious to be
the intermediary between the con-
sumer and the producer,-to build up
a, market by means of the parcel post.
If 1t is possible to get a list of the
farmers in radius of $50 miles, to-
gether with the amount they pro-
duce, a market can be built up
around Duluth that will reach, in the
different directions, Spooner and Ash
land, Willnar, Bemidji and Interna-
ton Falls,,
Plans to form a branch organiza-
ton were discussed by the House
wives league. Mrs. r. p. Boyington
and Mrs. c. E. Spring talked of the
possibility of obtaining a visiting
housewife. Mrs. J. T. Watson pre-
sided.

has been finally determined in the

courts.
students of both the economic and
legal phases of the minimum wage
legislation are practically unanimous
in the opinion that such legislation is
unsound in principle, unavoidable and
impracticable and works hardships
not only on the employer, but supon
all employees. The Minnesota set is
particularly Objectionable both from
the economic and legal standpoint.
ut Is of vital Importance that the
suits now pending. be pressed to the
speediest possible conclusion and in
view of the emergency, the committee
has gone ahead and incurred consid-
cradle expense. Money will be need
ed in order that your committee may
properly protect the interests of the
employers of the state. With this in
view. the committee has decided to
ask for contributions from employers
on the basis of so cents for every fe-
male and so cents for every boy I'M
der Fl years of age, employed by the
parties called upon, whether such en-
ployes are receiving more or less than
the proposed minimum wage.
Prompt attention to this letter is
Of vital Importance to you, for we
must know at an early date just how
far we can count on your cooperation
and financial assistance in this mat
ter

Il Analysis of Expenses.
Not depending on these figures and
estimates the, commission has care
fully analysed the sworn statement
filed with the city by the Duluth
Edison company showing receipts and
expenses for the year 1913. This
statement shows that the total of all
operating expenses, taxes, insurance
and interest on $1,353,0O bonds was
$349,458.11 which divided by the
11,S33,4 07 kilowatt handled equals
:O295 per kilowatt.n In other words
all this expense could have been put
on an average under "a: 3 cent rate
which most consumers are paying 8
cents. This includes as stated, a S
per cent Interest charge on $1,353,O0O
bonds or an amount 100 per cent more
than the city could build a new plant
for. TIL conapany's ssstaternelt also
shows that in addition to the above
expenses and interest on bonds they:

Whether Germany will sue for

Importance. What is more impor-
tant is that before the German ar
mics are entirely routed. internal
political conditions will compel them
TO demand an ignominiOus peace.
And what will be the price OF this

When Germany brought France to
her kness in 1870 they secured as
the price Of peace war indemnity

IN their turn the victorious ar
