the following to the statement:
Iron ore, mined or unmined, is
assessed at so per cent of its true

PRICES FOR PUFFS.

The editor of an Eastern paper
has grown peevish. He has been
pestered so much by people desir-
ing free puffs that he facetiously
refers to himself as the Peerless
Prince of Puff Purveyors." He
thinks he has done enough for
social queens. ministers who are
looking for free advertising, peo-
pie who have legislative fads they
wish to push and organizations
which want free publicity. So he
has evolved the following scale of
prices for puffs:
For telling the public that man
is successful citizen, when every
body knows he is as lazy as a hired
man, $2.70.
Referring to deceased citizen
as one who is mourned by the en-
tire community, when he will only
be missed by the poker circle
$1O.13.
| referring to one as a hero and a
man of courage and one who will
stand by his honest convictions,
when everybody knows that he is a
moral coward and would sell out
for thirty cents, $6.21.
Referring to some gallivanting
female as an estimable lady whom
it is pleasure to meet and know,
when every man in town would
sooner see Satan coming, $50.
Calling an ordinary pulpit ora
tor an eminent divine, 90 cents.
Sending a doughty sinner to
Heaven, S..
Referring to deceased merchant
who never advertised in his life as
progressive citizen, $4.oo.
Lambasting the daylights out of
the demon rum at the bequest of
the local prohibition committee,
S6.77.
Ditto for the prohibitionists at
the request of the local wet COM
mittee, $6.77.

A WRITER in a western paper
saws: One of the most remarkable
things about certain good people is
their severity in dealing with their
fellow men. Particularly is this
true with certain class of men
and women who led what might be
called protected lives. They have
never known from actual experience
what poverty, sickness, disaster, or
disgrace mean, but they are almost
devoid of sympathy in dealing with
their neighbors who have had one
or more of these things to deal
with. To give garment and a
lecture together, to pry into the
last detail of family life before CIV
ing charity, to insinuate openly or
covertly that every applicant for
aid is an imposter, to make the
helpless poor feel like criminals
these are the crimes-of which
many good people are guilty.
Some day, it may be, we will all be
old, and it may be that many of us
will be poor; so let us cast little
bread and sympathy on the water
so that it can come back to us in
case we need it." After all, as
some epigrammatist has reminded
US, there is so much bad in the
best of us, and so much good in
the worst of us, that it i'll becomes
the best of us to speak i'll of the
worst of u.s." A little more charity
all around; little more milk of
human kindness; a little more
understanding and sympathy. and
the world will wag more easily
along its orbit.

PRESIDENT WILSON in an address
at the celebration of the founding
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution said in part. Some of
the best stuff of America has come
out of foreign lands and some of
the best stuff in America is in the
men who are naturalized citizens of
the United States. l would not be
afraid upon the test of America
first to take census of all the
foreign-born citizens of the United
States, for 1 know that the vast
majority of them came here be-
cause they believed in America

made them better citizens than

CONGRESSMAN Lindbergh is still

OPINIONS OF OTHERS

Hibbing, the village that is be-
ing frightfully slandered because OF
the large sums of money her
officials are expending for public
improvements, leads the country in
furnishing free meals to her school
children. Among all the various
activities of the Hibbing public
schools, one of the most far reach
ing in its effects is the free soup
kitchen and cafeteria noon lunch
Both of these features were begun
last year; both have been amplified
and extended and both have shown
remarkable results.
The free soup idea was origin
ated by Miss Mildred Cummings,
teacher in domestic science. In
addition to her school work she
prepared the soup and served ii
every noon. This year the school
board engaged a woman to do the
work and she serves free soup at
noon in the basement in one of the
schools to an average of los
children. Some of them bring q
little bread from home to eat with
the soup. but to most of them the
soup is the whole of their noon
meal. They are given all they
want of it, and it warns and
strengthens them and the results
have been measured in increased
activities and better results in the
school work.
1t is said that many of these
children, if they were obliged to &C
home for lunch, would get nothing
but black bread and beer or soul
wine. The free soup kitchen has
been a wonderful success in the
Hibbing schools.
In connection with the domestic
science department of the Hibbine
high school a cafeteria has been
established, which is regular
feature of the high school work
and approximately 120 children
get their noon lunch every school
day at cost of from one cent tc
eight cents. Eight cents is the
most they can pay for meal. The
food is cooked by the seventh grade
class in domestic science. All oi
the preserves and pickles used ii
the cafeteria are prepared by schoo
children.
The majority members of the
Hibbing school board are official:
of the mining companies. They
are giving warm support to the
free soup and lunch-at-cost idea

travagances claimed by the op
ponents of Mayor Power. Th,
