Taylor News.

The St. Johns ball team came
over here Monday to defeat our
team. The game progressed
slowly, but at every turn our
boys gained a few points. The
suits of both teams were red and
white, so we had a red game,
and the score at the finish was
18 to 7 in favor of Taylor. Our
boys may be slow, but they are
there with the goods. Mr.. and
Mrs. M. V. Gibbons and Mr.. and

WOMEN'S BULLETIN HAS SOME
- INTERESTING WORK FACTS
Following shortly after the publ
cation Of the gain in profit made by
the Harvester trust in the past year,
an interesting sidelight on the con-
ditions under which some of the
women employees work is given in
a bulletin issued by the Women's
Trade Union league commenting on
the strike at the International Har-
vester Co.
"On May 1" the bulletin reads, "a
general strike was declared at the
three plants operated by the Inter
national Harvester Co. in Chicago
the Mccormick, DeeTing and Trac-
tor Works. Of the strikers, about
700 girls were employed in the Irvine
mills.
"The girls, in addition to asking
for better wages and shorter hours,
also protested against certain con-
ditions of their work The 'baIlers,'
those who operate machines which
wind the Irvine into balls, have to
stand all day. The result of their
work may be plainly seen in the dark
skin and Che eTuptiOns usually found
on their fact, hands and arms.
After staying out for from three
to four weeks both men and girls in
the mills returned to work, having
secured the nine-hoUT day and a
slight increase in wages.

TELLS RIGHT WAY TO COUGH
Iy Prevent One Becoming Nui-
sance to Companions.

The following directions as to how
to cough are given by physician in
the Journal of the Outdoor Life:
Fold your handkerchief so that it is
about five inches square. Place it fiat
in the right hand, if you are right
handed, and with this hand hold it
tightly over the mouth. Press the
hand on the mouth, as to hold it
loosely over the mouth will not &C.
complish the purpose. Now instead of
coughing and trying to muffie the
sound in your throat or mouth, muffle
1t with your handkerchief. Practice
it until person ten feet away can
not hear you.
THE sound made in coughing is due
partly to air passing over the vocal
cords, partly to air going through the
bronchial tubes and trachea, and part
ly to the resonance produced in the
chambers above the trachea. This
sound can be almost wholly avoided
and the irritation to the lungs and air
passages prevented by keeping the air
passages open and letting your hand
kerchief do the muffling. Now instead
of expelling 120 cubic inches of air at
each expiration, you will expel a
smaller amount, with more comfort to
yourself and to those around you and
with much less harm to your lungs"

"FIre Bugs" Disappearing

The crime of arson is rapidly
disappearing in Minnesota.
This is due primarily to the
growing unpopularity of this form
of raising money. It is too risky
also, in the opinion of Robert w.
Hargadine, State Fire Marshal.
A comparison of the number of
incendiary cases brought to the at
tention of this department so far
this year, with the corresponding
period in 1915 shows a remarkable
decrease, said Mr.. Hargadine.
For many years incendiaries were
found in practically every COM
munity. Some were purely pyro-
maniacs, who started fires simply
through the insane desire to see
something burning; others were
fre-bugs for profit. Of recent
years this form of realizing on in
surance has been fought vigorously
by the state and local authorities in
all the states. Minnesota was no
exception and the problem of
eliminating arson from the list of
crimes committed in this state has
always been a difficult one to
solve"
Through the cooperation of
the people generally, and the local
officials in particular, this depart
ment is ready to 60 on record now
as reporting that fires resulting
from arson are being materially
reduced. Long prison sentences,
the danger of discovery and the
general desire of the people to aid
in stamping out this crime, have
brought about the decrease in the
number of fires attributed to
arson"

The public service Charles z.
Craig of Duluth has already
rendered that part of Minnesota
known as the Eighth Congressional
district Carlton, Cook, Itasca,
Koochiching, Lake and St. Louis
counties) must be some indication
of the kind of service he would
render the people of northeastern
Minnesota, as we'll as the nation,
if they sent him to congress.
How he has shown himself a
public spirited man, helping to
develop this part of the state, thus
bringing people to it because of the
inducements his efforts created, is
set forth in the following editorial
by E. A. Koen of the Biwabik
Times:

Charles P. Craig of Duluth, is
candidate for congress. Mr.. Craig
is essentially business man and
would be a power in the national
congress at time when men are
needed to guide the nation through
the present international stress.
Mr.. Craig is not unknown to
great many of the Biwabik people.
He has attended sessions of the St.
Louis County club here, and his
appearance always related to agri-
culture. Although he is success
full Duluth business man, Mr..
Craig's heart is really in his farm;
located just out of Duluth, and the
chances are that when you converse
with him he will discourse upon
his experiments in farming and in
raising dairy cattle.

A FEW weeks ago the MINER
made some editorial comments on
the candidacy of Mr.. Craig for
Congress and at once the supporters
of Congressman Miller put us in
the opposition column. We are
not in the habit of speaking i'll of
any candidate or anyone else
unless we have just cause to do so
and as we had nothing against Mr..
Craig, we spoke kindly of him and
his candidacy. We have always
upheld Congressman Miller and
still do so and believe him the
logical candidate for this district.
He has been a hard worker in
Congress and has gained consider
able more of a standing in that
august body than many others we
could name. In fact, he is one OF
the strong men of the nation and
the Eighth district should realize
this. We would be some fifty
seven varieties of chump to 60
back on Clarence Miller. We
have known him since he first
came into prominence politically
and have always found him a
friend. The MINER never goes
back on a friend.

Proclamation

The Legislature of the State has
wisely requested the designation
by public proclamation of the third
Tuesday of June in each year as
GOOD ROADS DAY."
More and more is the public
awakening to the necessity of road
improvement and the gread value
and importance of permanent road
construction which will lessen the
cost of the marketing of products
and continually increase the volume
of traffic. 1t is a well-known fact
that the farmers of our State on &C.
count of bad roads are losing
millions of dollars annually in the
moving of their crops, aside from
the loss occasioned through the
lower value of their lands by reason
of their inaccessibility to market.
Good roads. however, influence
not only the economic but the
social conditions of community
by eliminating the loneliness and
isolation of rural districts and by
creating better opportunities for
school attendance and social life.
Therefore, the people of the
State are hereby requested to make
special effort on Tuesday, the Goth
day of June, to secure contributions
of labor, material and money to-
ward the improvement of public
highways in their respective COM
munities.
In WITNESS WHEREOF, 1 have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the Great Seal of the State to be
hereto affixed, at the Capitol. in
the City of St. Paul, this 10Th day
of May, 1916.

ferred a great benefit on this
section. He, more than any other
man. has shown that the cow is the

If he should 60 to congress it
would no doubt be part of his work
to see that this territory comes into
its rightful fame as the greatest
dairying country of the United
States.
1t is real treat to hear him dis
course on this subject. He knows
the value from a productive stand
point of the different breeds of
cattle, the amount of feed required
to keep each particular kind, and
is otherwise a really scientific
farmer-the kind who does not
make money out of the business
himself but teaches others how to
do this very thing.
And besides all this Mr.. Craig is
right on the big issues of the day.
He believes in thorough prepared
ness and will not. it is hereby war
ranted. flop from side to side on
the issue. He will not one day
vote to slap the President in the
face and the next send out
kilograms asking his constituents
to uphold the President.
Mr.. Craig, in other words, will
be stable, dependable, thorough
going congressman, and we hope
that he will receive a most en-
couraging vote in Biwabik and
immediate vicinity.

NEWSPAPERS and CHARITY SEEKERS

A leading Miami citizen asked
the Metropolis for sixty loaves of
bread the other day. He was
hungry.
No, the man did not ask for the
bread as bread, but he wanted a
little write-up" on the front page;
the write-up took twelve lines and
each line is a commodity valued at
rs cents, making an equivalent OF
sixty loaves of bread!
And this one small instance is,
of course, but dot in the long line
of the charities that a newspaper is
called upon to perform by people
who ought to know better-by
people who would never think OF
asking a merchant to give him
merchandise or mechanic to give
him services free of charge.
On yesterdays mail, for instance,
we received the following letter
from the hotel commissioner Of
Florida:
I am herewith inclosing you open
letter to the hotels and restaurant
keepers of the state and beg to ask
if it will be possible for you to pub
lish same as news item. We have
no funds in this department that
