THE NORMAL CLASS,

The rapid growth of the Normal Glass
at the Minneapolis Talmud Torah surprises
even it's most enthusiastic friends 1t
could not have been foreseen by the most
optimistic workers in the educational field
1t is now found necessary to divide the
class into two sections, for it is too large
for the instructors properly to handle it,
and for any classroom to accommodate it.
1t is evident that the Minneapolis young
people appreciate the opportunity offered
them for intellectual Improvement along
lines of Jewish knowledge.

 At the time he took the pictures, Dr. Southworth said ne found slight abrasion on Mrs. Hale's hand which was not more than two or three days old. The physician told her that no joints were out of place and that no bones were broken but he states that she replied: "I am going to sue the city anyway because I need the money"
 Mrs. John Bozarth. testified that Mrs. Hale mas asked her to sew for her because she could not use her hands. This is said to have occurred before the accident. According to this testimony, the plaintiff said that she could not use her hand because she was afflicted with rheumatism.
 Sidney Birch. in front of whose home Mrs. Hale fell, stated that the sidewalk was in good condition dur ing December, 1914, and that Mrs. Hale must have stepped on the ex- treme edge of ono of the boards and on the outside of a stringer to have taken the fall. The walk he said was taken up last July because wagon n turning had loosened about eleven boards. His testimony was corrobor- 1ted by his sister. Miss Fannie Birch. Miss Birch said that during Decem- Der, 1914, Mrs. Hale told her that she had nurt her hand during an epileptic fit.
 Mrs. Orville Bozarth testified that Mrs. Hale on December 26. 1914. complaining that her hand was injured said she had suffered another fit. Mrs. Hale in rebuttal denied the state nents of Miss Birch and Mrs. Bo. zarth relative to her hand and the fits.

Private telegrams received in Pres .ott yesterday from New York and Boston, quoted United Verde Exten- sion at SS.37H per share on both curbs 1t the close of business on Friday.
 This established the highest price yet received for this stock on either market, and is the outcome of recent development on the i,40O-foot level, he magnitude of which is as yet un- known, but admitted as absolute in establishing a wonderful copper prop erty.
 It was also learned yesterday from reliable Jerome sources that 75-foot ore body was opened on the ,4OO-foot level, and as yet the extent of this condition had not been determined, although development continues. It was also stated by the same party that his immense naturalization would carry ores that averaged over Is per sent, if not to as high as 26 per cent. Very little information as to under ground conditions is permitted to be given publicity, however, but that conditions are satisfactory and gener' lily speaking development has reach d a stage that solves another big property for that belt, seems to be the impression of those who arc closely identified with the affairs of this com pany.

 The Argo Company has just install ed 45-foot gallows frame, 25-hors. power gasoline moist. and a 300-foot compressor. Its shaft is already down $ feet, and with impetus of power machinery and steel, sinking opera tions will be rapid hereafter.
 A 32-horse power gasoline hoist has just been installed on the Nellie prop erty. A fve-drill compressor and en- zine has been ordered and should ar rive within few days. This shaft is now down 60 feet, and will probably be sent to 800 feet depth before any lateral work is attempted.
 Officials and attaches of the Pacific Electric Company have financed the Fessenden Company. The tFessende-l shaft is now down to 240 feet, and a compressor has just been put in op- eration. It is said that the Fessenden shaft is being sunk at less cost per foot than any other shaft in the Oat- man district.
 Steady work is in progress on the Gold Range which has its shaft down to 130 feet. It is encountering very encouraging formation showing quite a bit of free gold, and as it is work ing on the same vein system in which its next-door neighbor, the Ivannoe, has developed pay ore, some of the miners in the district are inclined to the belief that ore will be developed in the property before the 500-foot point has been reached. It is under stood that negotiations arc under way which may result in giving this com pany new and very strong financial backing.

EXPORT TRADE NOT
 HURT BY THE WAR

PARIS, Feb. 5. Correspondence of Associated Press).-That the French export trade is not paralyzed by the war, and that in some instances France is exporting more products than in peace time, is a curious and unexpected situation indicated in re- sent reports Of the minister of France.
 While France is buying in the sum his year Of about two billion francs from the United States, the money value of her exports to the United States nave not fallen off more than 10 per cent The United States is Frances second best customer, at present, with England her best. The war merely seems to nave changed in many cases the accustomed commer- cial channels. For instance, French nan wished recently to buy twine oi he United States for use in the south ,rn vineyards to noid up the vines. Because of the lack of freight space n ships from New York, ana i,;s hurry to secure positive delivery, ne cabled to an American firm in Manila, asking that the twinc be forwarded direct from here.
 It is in the exportat;ons of France to the United States that may be seen some odd phases of war business. Thus, on a ten months basis, for table fruits her 1913 exportations were 2,- H3,000 francs whereas for the present year France sold to the United States in the sum of 7,lS7.009 francs. France sold to the United States 3,ol6,OOO francs worth of pcrfumeries and soaps, an increase of 1,237,O0O francs over 1913. Her sales of milk, butter and cheese have increased from l,727,- GOO francs in 1913 to 2,7S7,00O francs for the first ten months of 1915. Her human hair sales a-e practically the same this year as in other years, be- ing l.25S000 francs. Her wine sales are almost normal. at S,0S6,000 francs. In the effort Of her people to make Up for the enormous import bill, her sales of artificial flowers and fruits have jumped to 5,l35.G00 francs sum almost twice that of normal years. The same fact holds good for fancy fans, buttons, brushes and toys.
 A striking fact of comparison is brought out in automobile sales. France bought 70, 0,40l 900 francs worth of automobiles and motorcycles dur ing the first ten months of this year, as against 4,4lS,0D francs in 1913. and she is selling to the United States 2,- 46l 600 francs worth.
 While France is buying twenty times as much grain from the United States as normally, she Is sending to the United States twice as much seed grain as in 1913, or in the sum of nearly l5.000,0O0 francs.
 Although France is buying twenty times as much leather goods from the United States as in peace years. she is nevertheless exporting to tine Unit. ed States 100000 francs more of t.ic same goods than she usually does.
