Under the provisions of the election
 law the two candidates receiving a ma
 Jorfty of the whole vote cast will be declared the choice of the people and
 Tor the two positions on the city com
 mission. In the event that no one re- ceiVed majority on the first ballot the Tour candidates receiving the high
 est number of votes will enter the
 run-off, which will be held Monday,
 December IS, on which date the two commissioners will be elected
 In reference to the single shottine of any candidate the general opinion is
 that the question is an open one in
 view Of the fact that it's legality has
 not been Judicia1ly determined While
 the law is seemingly clear as regards
 single shouting in primary election. ii
 Is not clear in regard to regular cleo
 tions. Under the primary law single
 shotting is prohibited, but under the law regulating general elections this phase of the question is not mentioned. There are those who state the spirit or law prohibits single shouting in any election and that under legal test any candidate who receives a majority by this method might be declared disquali- fled by the higher courts.
 It is also argued that in the event single shouting is resorted to in the in terest of any candidate for city com missioner and by this means the said candidate gets ih the run-off, it will be held against him as an indication that his supporters are seeking by un- fair methods to elevate him to a seat on the city commission and that it will mean his defeat. However. the question is an open one, and, accord ing to some of the best informed at torneys of the city, single shouting is not prohibited by the law as it now stands, but that in order to be sure on this question the matter will have to be determined by an appeal to the supreme court

WISCONSIN, HEARS ABOUT BIRMINGHAM Half Page Ad in Superior Telegram Tells of City's
 Growth

The secretary of the Birmingham Real Estate exchange, T. P. Hay, Jr, is in receipt of large display ad- vertisement clipped from the Superior fWis.) Telegram, which sets forth the immense growth experienced by Blr- mingham in 16 years. The adVertlse- ment occupies a very large space ana Is signed by the Superior Real Estate exchange. About half of the ad IS taken mn with two pictures made in Birming- ham at the corner of Twentieth street and First avenue. The top photograph was taken in 1897. The lower picture was taken in 1913, and shows to good advantage Birmingram's magnificent skyline. which has had material addi- tions since that time.
 The following is taken from the ad- vertisement.
 "If the citizens of Superior realized at the present time the enormous ben efits other steel centers have derived from their tributary plants, they would immediately adopt the slogan. 100000 in 1920' What! You think the mark is too high? Look carefully at the two pictures above. The top one is an 1897 view of the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street in the steel city of Birmingham The other is the same location as the writer saw it in 1913, may. Some change in Is years. What was responsible? The steel industry made it.

''rhe three cities are consecutive di- vision points in Alabama on the Louis vile and Nashville railway Montgom- cry is the capital of the state. Though is has not grown much. yet in 1890 1t was almost as large as the next diyi- sional point, Birmingham At that time conditions in both places were very similar. But Mobile being a port on the gulf. as you would expect. was the largest city of the three. having had the advantage in location. Now, follow the growth through the two decades.

shaped potatoes.
To grow the kind of potatoes
the public wants, then. IS the
thing to do, and the way to begin
is to plant the kind of potatoes you
wish to grow. This means careful
selection from the hills, observing
the following rules:
Select only from hills in which
larger part of the potatoes answer
the description mentioned. Pota-
toes from such hills are more GER
tain to breed true to type.
Select potatoes weighing from
five to eight ounces.
Use for seed no potatoes grown
in fields showing a considerable
amount of wilt or rosette.
Avoid potatoes showing brown
ring discolorations at the stem end.
Save for planting no potatoes
which are bruised, cracked, or
decaying, or which show discolora-
tons at stem end.
Store carefully in moderately
warm, dry and we'll ventilated
place.
Treat with corrosive sublimate
four ounces to thirty gallons OF
water-for an hour and half
before planting.

THE first real bloody round in
the Hibbing battle with the Lake
Superior Taxpayers CD Association
has been won by Hibbing with a
neat body blow. Judge Fessler
gave Hibbing the decision after the
two principals had battled for
several rounds seconded by several
of the most able men of the bar of
the state and not among the least
of which was Mayor Power himself.
Judge Fessler held that Hibbing
had a perfect right to make the
improvements and that they were
needed according to the evidence
abduced. Now that this much is
settled and the court has held that
the city was not extravagant in
trying to better the conditions of
its people by building streets and
cutters, alleys and white ways, it
stands to reason that the himsy
charges made by the plaintiffs
were not we'll taken and that the
aforementioned plaintiffs should
come across with their share of the
tax monies to pay for these i'm
provements. The fellow who only
owns a cow and some household
effects has already paid his.

In another column of this issue
will be found a copy of an or
dinance passed at the last session
of the city council relating to the
preservation of health and the pre-
vention of diseases in the city.
This ordinance should have been
enacted and enforced several years
ago but it is better late than never
and it is also seriously hoped that
the police force and the health de-
partment will see to it that the
provisions are enforced. A few
fines or Jail sentences will have
some effect on the sputum spreaders
who make it point to cover the
floors of the theatres, postofice and
other public places with their foul
habits.

CONSIDERABLE comment is being
INDUCED as to the disposition made
of the large amount of goods con-
fscated by the game wardens in the
raid at BURNSIDE lake last summer.
The assertion is made that much of
the goods, in the shape of boats,
canoes, packs, axes, guns, etc.,
were not to be found when the sale
took place at Biwabik several weeks
ago and which sale was attended by
representative of the owners of
articles with the intention of buy
ing them in. Several of those who
were bereft of valuable articles are
trying to ascertain what became of
them and avow their intention of
getting at the bottom of the affair.
1t is also stated that no inventory
of goods sliced was to be found.

A KANSAS man, asserting that
over-production of laws is running
the country, gives these illuminat-
ing examples of what he calls
superhuous legislation in his own
state: Kansas. although a prohi-
bition state, has law prohibiting
the eating of snakes. He once
bet a Kansas City friend 500 that the
friend couldn't go six hours with
out breaking a law. The latter
took him up, and went to bed.
When he finished his day and
came around to collect the 500,
he was arrested for sleeping under
a sheet less than nine feet long.
These facts seem to prove the
case. for Kansas at least. AS for
the legislative output in other
states-just ask any lawyer who
tires to keep track of it."
