Other professions have been well

editors-not one.
The same reports have come
from time to time out of other
great prisons. Editors are law
abiders. And the same is true in
almost equal measure of printers.
In numerous large penitentiaries
there are not enough to put the
little prison papers into type, nor
pressmen enough to take the papers
through the press. This is as good
as possibly could be sub
mitted as to the integrity of that
large class of people who produce
our publications.
The editor generally chooses
his words with care. He may be
partisan and predjudiced and vim

Next Sunday, May 9th, will be

the year when everybody should
pay special tribute to his mother.
On that day every one will wear
white flower in honor of his
mother. The prevailing method is
to send flowers to her if living and
wear a red flower in her honor. or
If dead, to pay tribute to her
memory by wearing white flower.
The custom has become general

of families, sons and
daughters living away from home
as often is the case, the sons and
daughters write but occasionally,
and bouquet from the son or
daughter is welcomed by the

AURORA WINS
Takes First Game of Season ON a
Score Of 6 to 3

The Aurora baseball team de-
feated the Ely team at Athletic
Park Sunday in we'll played game
by score of E to 3.
Aurora was first to bat and in
that inning secured one run by a
long hit by Donklovitch, who after
the ball had been thrown all over
the lot managed to cross the home
plate. At the end of the second
inning Ely had three scores mark
ed up to their credit giving them
the best of the argument. In the
third things changed considerable
when Benson of the visiting team
put one over the fence for homer
with three men on base making
the score to 8 in their favor.
From then on there was nothing
doing until the sixth when one of
the Aurora boys succeed in putting
one over the fence for another home
run making the score to 8 which
was the final score.
Taking the weather conditions
into consideration both teams play
ed good game and with more
practice it is thought that Ely can
have winning team. Gianotti
and Lambert were the batteries
for Ely while Hill and Benson did
likewise for the visiting team.
The other members were: Ely
Chinn, Harrio, Aijala, Mccarthy
Martin, Maxi and Pauly, with
Frank Williamson, manager.

Granted Only Thirty Percent

Just how did the 1915 legislature
leave the State Public Health work,
ask many people. DR.. II. w. Hill
OF the Minnesota Public Health
Association answers that so far as
county sanatoria are concerned,
they cut the Advisory Commission
requests down to bare state aid for
maintenance to sanitoria now built
or building; and refused any funds
for state aid to counties now look
ing forward to building, except to
the few who may begin building
before August first and even for
these the state aid is very limited.
Thirty percent only of the amount
requested was granted; and this is
less than half of the amount avail
able for the last two years. Cen
eral public health work, other than
county sanatoria, suffered even
worse. Scarcely one-fourth of the
amount asked by the State Board
OF Health was granted; only one
sixth as much was given for diph-
liberia serum for the human as was
granted for hog cholera serum:
and the remaining funds were cut
six thousand dollars lower than
last year, despite increases in de-
mands which already are beyond
the capacity of the existing staff.
The cause of this disaster to the
State seems to be generally recog-
nized as lack of education of the
legislators on public health lines:
and also lack of the appreciation
by the public that some legislators
require local pressure from their
before they will act
progressively on public health
subjects. Braced up for a new
of education for two
years by the cold bath thus admin

Association hopes to secure such a

ORE BUYING SLOW
BY Companies Not Affiliated With
Producers

Consumers affiliated with the
leading iron ore mining and selling
companies have taken large ton.
nages OF ore since prices were
determined last week says the Iron
Trade Review, but consuming
companies not connected with the
ore companies are not buying gen.
orally, but are showing a DISPOSE
ton to await developments, as thev
see no necessity of obligating them
selves financially by buying ore
at the present time. This attitude
was expected and it has not caused
any disappointment or apprehen-
sion among the ore sellers.
The announcement that the
interstate commerce commission
has reduced the ore-carrying rate
from mines on the Mesabi to ports
at Two Harbors, Duluth and
Allouez Bay cents, was received
with keen interest among the fur
mace operators and ore sellers.
furnace men naturally hope that
the price of Mesabi ores will be
reduced 5 cents and it is possible
that this will be done, but the law
OF supply and demand usually
determines prices and doubtless
Will do so in this case regardless of
the ore-carrying rate, as the prices
on Mesabi ore now quoted, S. IS
for non-bessemer and $3.50 for
bessemer, are low.
Lake trade is opening up more
rapidly than expected and a con-
siderable fleet is in commission.
By May IS, it is expected that the

cally all of the leading shippers
have part of their fleet in COM

better every day and vessel owners
are looking forward to all active
