OF WHAT
MIGHT HAVE BEEN

One of our good citizens had an
experience the >other evening that
demonstrated his suavity beyond
question. He was at home taking
care of the children while his wife
was at the movies, when he heard
noise in the cellar. He procured
flash and went down to investi-
gate and discovered that the culprit
was a small dark animal with broad
white stripe along it's back, and he
made stragetic retreat. He was
nonpiussed for moment but pro-
curing a plank he put it in the win
dow through which the animal got
in and made nice smooth walk
from the cellar floor to the window
for the exit. He went back to his
reading and after some time made
another examination of the cellar
and found the animal gone. When
his wife returned he told her of the
find in the cellar and she Immediate
ly went to the cellar entrance and
shifted, and said that she couldn't
smell anything. She was very curl
Gus as to how her husband had got
the animal to walk the plank and
he finally told her that after
he placed it there he went down and
politely bowed and invited it for a
walk and the animal complied.

TO Organize Sunday School.

Undersigned has been requested to
make known the following desire of
a few of the people residing in the
village of Grand Marais.
Whereas we find it our Christian
duty to impart to our children, the
faith which we cherish, we believe
that this can best be done in Sun
day School conducted in the mother
tongue. We ourselves have had the
religious training in that language
and thus are better able to give
them further information on the vi
tai questions that come up in reli-
gious activities.
Therefore we hope to organize a
Sunday school for this purpose on
Sunday October lst, at 1890 p. m.
in the Norwegian Lutheran church.

WILL ASK FOR FEDERAL s
AID on GUNFLlN1 +
County Commissioners Take Step,
to Apply for Federal Aid
In Road Buildinq

At the meeting of the County
Board held last Saturday, a resolu-
tion was adopted to make applica-
tion to the Federal Government for
aid in rebuilding the GunAint road.
This road runs for the greater part
through the National Forest Re-
serve, and about half of the land
embraced in the reserve is owned by
private parties and the other half
by the Government. The known
presence of valuable minerals in the
territory adjacent to the road is suf-
ticient reason for the building of
the road, and as the property to be
benefited by the road is largely
owned by *'Uncle Sam" it is only fair
that Federal aid on this road be
granted. The natural beauties Of
the territory through which it goes
will make the road popular to tour
lists. These arguments and others
have been advanced to the depart
ment in Washington and it is hoped
that the aid will be secured.

ARRANGEMENTS COM
PLETED FOR COUNTY FAIR
Outlook Favorable for Very Sue
cessful Exhibit of County
Products.

The board of managers C the
Cock County Fair has been very busy
making all the necessary ar, .lnge-
ments and preparations for their
second annual fair which plor~;9es
we'll, judging by the interest sl,,rwn
by the public.
The Extension Division of the Un-
iversity of Minnesota is sending Sup
erintendent Thompson Of the North
eastern Experiment Station at Du-
luth and County Agent Larson of St.
Louis county to act as judges of
live stock and field and garden crops
Superintendent Thompson will be
accompanied by his poultryman who
will act as Judge of the poultry ex-
hibit. State Dairy Inspector Lind
berg of North Branch, Minn., is ex-
pected to be present as Judge of the
dairy products.
A number of out-of town visitors
are expected as we'll as large part
of our county residents, and every
thing points to success for the So
ciety, the weather man included.
The towns of Lutsen, Tofte and
Schroeder have generously aided the
society in the sum of $4,000 each.
The County Board donated $4,000
and most of the remaining towns, it
is hoped, will take favorable action
in the near future.
We would like to see every farmer
in the county at the fair, in the
hope that more of them would wake
up to the fact that the farm should
receive their undivided attention,
and that instead of using the farm
for an auxiliary for the home table
they would increase their titled ac-
reage from year to year as some Of
our progressive farmers have done.
The need of Cook county is more
farmers and more titled acreage.
One progressive farmer who does not
slight his farm is worth more to the
county than a dozen of the others.
We are not writing this article as a
slam on the farmers of the county
as whole, as it has been demon
strated that we have quite a number

work there will he naxt vaar Snc
cess has been the reward of those
who have not sighted their farms
and they are the ones who keep an
account in the bank, who are living
in comfortable homes and whose
stock is we'll taken care of, and
whose ideas are not always pessi-
mistic in regard to anything or any
body.

!2suCH ORE MUST BE SHlPPED

shortage of iron ore,
supp being entertained
by Eastssa ymen. Whether or
not stocks 90 1sill be sufficient
to carry thenfo ough the winter
depends almost altogether upon the
lateness of the opening of naviga-
tion next spring they say.
The plants in the east are now es-
timated to be consuming 5,500,000
tons of ore monthly, the consump-
tion for the year being placed at
65,000,000 tons. 1t is figured that
the ore shipments for the season
may be under 81, 100000 tons, so that
a shortage of around 100000 tons
is regarded as probable. If ship
ping, however can be continued be-
yond Nov. 18th, it is thought that
the deficiency may be made up.
Commenting upon ore supply con-
ditions the Wall Street Journal says:
"lf the cold season is of normal
length, or about five months, a sup
ply of 28,000,O00 would keep the fur
naces at full capacity until the re-
sumption of shipments. And the
trade expects the stocks will be a.
bout that size. Any prolongation
of cold weather, delaying the resum-
ption of shipping for two weeks or
more may force curtailedconditions
"One thing l know says apromi-
nent steel man, 1--WE won't have any
surplus.
ut has been by means ofthe most
strenuous efforts that the situation
is not more threning than it is The
possibility of an ore shortage was
seen from the beginng of the pre-
sent season and shipments have been
rushed to the utmost, breaking all
previous records. In August alone
lake ore shipments were closed to
the 10000, 0,000-ton mark.
! "Ore producers have been assisted
| by high water in the lakes this sea
son, which has made it possible to
send heavier loads than usual.
| 'Little assistance seem to be ex-
pected from sending ore by rail- 1t
is pointed out that the cost of rail
transportation would add several
dollars a ton to the cost of iron and
steel and that even if ore were thus
sent it would freeze in transit and
be- very dificult to- unload and
handle. Further, it is questioned
whether the roads tapping the lake
ore regions have sufficient capacity
to take up any important shortage.
1T is expected that higher ore
| freight rates will be named next
year, so that the trade looks for an
advance in ore prices, at lake points,
when the new quotations are fxed;'
