been done the last week, three
weeks more will see enough ore
sold to assure very much larger
business this year than a year ago.
Ore shippers do not expect all OF
the buying to be done this spring
Some years there are two ore
selling periods: The spring period
which follows the making of prices,
and a cleanup period in August.
Aside from the contracts that were
closed at the making of ore prices
new ore sales aggregating 2,OOO,-
900 tons have been made. Total
sales this week have exceeded L.
900, 900 tons a day and do not in
clude the business of the United
States Steel corporation, and other
steel companies that own and
operate their own mining proper
ties.
At the rate at which ore has
been sold shippers will soon be in
position to care for their own tom
mage, but that position has not
yet been reached. This year, how
ever, it will require more ore to
take care of shippers boats than
last year because the coal shipments
will not be so heavy and the vessels
will be able to get around faster.

C0In|nendabIe Institution

We are in receipt of a catalogu e
of the Duluth Business University
and careful perusal and look at
the illustrations convinces us that
the institution is one of merit and
fit place in which anyone can
secure a business education that
will enable him or her to battle
successfully with life's intricate
problems and the high cost of
living. Mr. McCarter who heads
the university has had a lifelong
experience in the educational
world and has surrounded himself
with capable corps of assistants.
From small beginning the insti-
tuition has grown to one of the
foremost business colleges in the
country. This city boasts of sew

selves with a business education.

Some ScTaD

Sunday night while Frank Plutar
was returning home from the citv
on bicycle he was waylaid at the
foot of the hill near the Pioneer
office by three men one of which
with a knife cut several gashes in
Plutar,s arm and body. John
Pauc, John Oblak and Jos. Gapola
were taken into custody by the
officers. Pauc admitted that it was
his hight and that he had done the
cutting. He was bound over to
the grand jury and was admitted to
bail in the sum of $500 furnished
by some of his friends. Oblak and
Gapola were fined $40 and costs or
total of $1,000 each. All were
sober. An old love affair was the
cause of the scrap.

HERBERT WARREN, general
manager of the Duluth Street Rail
way company, says the jltney
buses operating in Duluth are
costing the street railway company
$1,000 a day, and the figure is
growing steadily. The street car
company, he says, is operating at a
loss, since during the past six
months the average earnings were
$500 a day. Most jitneys operate
mainly in the short haul zone. !"
The street railway gets the subur-
ban business, which, the company
asserts, is loss at any time. With
the daily average of $50 jitneys in
service, it is said all are making
money. 1t is estimated that 5000
persons ride to work in them every
morning, and fully 10000 persons
ride in them every day. Taxicab
rates have been cut from S. to 81
an hour as a result of the jitney in
vasion, and even at that the taxi
cabs are idle a large part of the
time. More automobile accidents
and violations of traffic rules have
been recorded since March Is,
when the first jitney appeared,
than for the entire previous year.
Downtown Duluth likes the jitney
but suburban Duluth fears cur
tailment of street railway service.

A NEW DECALOGUE.

1t is the small town that feels the
commercial atrophy that comes
from the activities of the mail order
houses. A community is only as
strong as its business men, and
when they are weakened by the
sophistical bargain offerings OF
catalogue merchants, the commun-
ity suffers. 1t was knowledge OF
these things, doubtless the effect of
them, that made the editor of the
Mineola, Texas, Monitor wax
satirical in the form of a new deca-
logue, as follows:
1.-You shall sell your farm
products for cash whenever you
can, but not to us. We do not
buy from you.
2.-You shall believe our state
ments and buy all you need from
us, because we want to be good to
you, although we are not person
ally acquainted with you.
3.-You shall send the money
in advance, to give us chance to
get the goods from the factory
with your money; meanwhile you
will have to wait patiently for
weeks, as that is our business
method.
4.-You shall apply to your near
est city to aid you in building good
roads, so that you can conveniently

to the people of small town than
the air of superiority that people
from larger towns have towards
them and their village. 1t is hard
to say just what prompts the city
man to feel greater than the villager
but he almost invariably does, and
what makes it worse, shows it in
his actions.
1t is the weakness of city people,
this belief of theirs, that country
people are back numbers. The
man from a city concern pays the
country business man a visit and
shows plainly that he considers the
little merchant very small potato;
but if he were wise enough to
realize the truth of their respective
businesses, he would know that the
back-number merchant, as he looks
upon him, is laying by each year
more money than the city chap is
drawing as a hired man from a
company that could find thousand
like him in days time.
The narrow Drained lecturer
drops into the small town, and at
the beginning of his talk, mentions
that he has changed his subject,
for fear the one announced would
be over the heads of his audience, "
and then proceeds to ramble along
for a couple of hours with stale
stories and disconnected ideas,
boring his auditors half to death.
The Chautauqua entertainer, until
he has had a good deal of expert
ence; the travelling salesman, up to
the time he becomes of some value
to his house; the transient visitor,
on chance business or pleasure
trip; the young city employe, be-
fore he learns the lessons of the
relation of capital to business,
where ever it is employed-all of
them make the same mistake of
the capacity, the in
telligence and the character of
country people.
If there is such a thing as super
iority between city and country |
folks, the latter have the best op-
portunity of securing it. But as
people, there is no difference be-
tween those who live in cities and |
those who live in the country.
They all read the same magazines,
the same newspapers and the same
books; they hear the same lectur-
ers, and see the same theatrical
performances; they attend the
same High schools and graduate
rom the same colleges and univer-
stiles; they take the same trips,
1isit the same vacation resorts, and
make as many excursions abroad;
hey ride in Pullmans as often, and
,ay their bills as regularly; and
When everything is counted, it is
lard to point out any difference
'etween them, except that the
ountry people have the advantage
f freedom from the life in throngs,
nd from the scramble for a 1iveli-
ood with great numbers contest
1g for share.
We have no contempt or criti-
ism for those who prefer to live in
city, but we do object to their t
ttitude of scorn for the doings of t
nose who live in the country or in
mall towns. Their is no basis for
1eir feeling of superiority and, to
person with a proper understand
lg of the relations of things, it is
onsensical and uncalled for.

The best part of the modern
magazines is the cover illustration
Next comes the advertising section.
1t takes genius to write good ads,
and many a story-teller has been
lured from the front pages by the
futter of perforated pink slips in the
hands of the advertising manager.
There is caustic comment from
many magazine reader on the pre-
valiant practice of continuing stories
and articles into the advertising
section; but unless the quality of
the stories and articles takes turn
upward, it may not be long before
the downtrodden editor finds it
necessary to continue the advertise
ments into the magazine section in
order to attract attention to the
general reading matter.
To be good liar one must have
tact and ability amounting to
genius, wide range of knowledge
and experience, intuition, imagina-

reliable and perfectly disciplined
memory, and an unlimited supply
of common sense. And no one
who is possessed of any two of
these is going to waste time trying
