EQUAL PAY. FOR WOMEN.

Some time ago, some Of the rail-
roads entering Duluth hired
women as car cleaners in place of
men but failed to pay the women
equal wages with the men whose
places they had taken. There has
been much criticism over this, es-
pecially in the ranks of organized
labor.
Now comes the Rathbone, Haire
& Ridgeway Box Company, of
Cloquet, Minnesota, with a call
for fifty women to do work which
men previously have done but for
which work men now cannot be
found.
This Cloquet company offers a
9-hour day and wages identical
with those paid to men and boys
for similar work. Already, twen-
ty-five girls have spoken for en-
ployment.
The example of this Cloquet
company is most respectfully Of
fered to the Duluth railroad CON-
panies who are accused of dis
elimination against women be.
cause of sex, petticoats and, prob
ably, other matters.

JIMMY CURRAN'S GARAGE.

James ]. Curran now conducts
Curran's garage at 2O9-14 East
First street and pushes the sale
of the Empire automobile, a car
manufactured in Indianapolis,
Ind. A 5-passenger car now sells
for $3.50 and a 7-passenger can
be bought for 1889. The En-
pire is a mighty handsome car
and buyers gladly will be. shown
it's strong points by the Duluth
agent. Mr.. Curran has resided
in this city for many years. A
quarter Of century ago, he was
a member Of the police force.
Later, he conducted popular
dairy. Now he rides in and sells
Empire automobiles. It beats all
how some men get to the front
in this world.

BEATS TRIAL MARRIAGES

After a Council Bluffs, Iowa,
man had got divorce from his
wife the other day, he went home
and found her there. She asked
him to sit down to dinner, after
which she asked him how he liked
the new arrangement.
First rate, " he replied, "but I
can't understand it,
"Oh, that's all right" said she.
"We can live this way in content
ment; the other way we quarrel.
Now suppose you retain me as
housekeeper at $40 a month and
boardi" } $3.50
This struck the former husband
favorably and bargain was
struck and closed on the spot. The
couple have had no sign Of trou-

AN ANCIENT WEAPON.

. At Biwabik, on the Eshquagu-
ma club grounds, lightly covered
with soil, F. s. Colvin found an
old flintlock shotgun. The stock
was entirely decayed but the
weapon was loaded and marks on
the barrel indicated hat the piece
was made at Danzig, Germany, in
1929. The site Of the find once
was a famous camping place for
Indians and the old weapon
probably belonged to some
mighty hunter among the red
men.

about 800 lots. The Cook county

SOME APPLE CROP.

The village Of Hamburg, Iowa,
right down in the corner OF the
state, close to the Missouri state
line, is the center Of a local Sec
ton that will produce $4,000
bushels Of apples, about 125 car
loads this fall. All Fremont
county will yield about 100000
bushels of fall and winter apples.
The best grade Of apples now
bring about $3.50 a barrel. If
sold at 60 cents a peck, as in Du-
luth, the apple crop at Hamburg,
alone, would be nearly as profit
able as a Minnesota iron mine.

BILE since, although they were in
hot water for 80 years, fretting
under the marital yoke. Now,
they dare not quarrel much for
fear that one will leave the other
in the lurch. He must have his
meals cooked and she must have
her employment and place to stay.
Together, they are happy now,
and the bargain promises to last
to the end.

RIVAL DULUTH's TEACHERS.

One rural teacher in Mills
county, Iowa, receives a salary
Of $40 a month. Two other rural
teachers in the same county CON-
mand a salary, each, of $65 a
month. Six teachers In a con-
solidated district receive $50
each. Iowa is forging to the front.
Nearly a third Of a century ago,
the Rip-saw editor taught a win
ter school in a county adjoining
Mills, for which he received the
princely wage Of 1888 a month
and boarded himself.

SHAVINGS

oHAVlNGS
Despite this cruel war, "Let
us love one another,' as Jadam
Bede often said.
Beware Of the marble-lined
courthouse when the courthouse
king is in a royal rage.
Some are beginning to doubt
that mammoth Marmon car is
a royal road to county office.
Some Of the blind pig whiskey
sold in Duluth would poison a
rattle-snake if he took man s.
size drink.
Perhaps your despised neigh
Dor is suffering from lack Of
beefsteak rather than from love
Of Kaiser Bill.
A big bunch of voters say that
they are through with county au-
ditor Halden because he neither
will fight nor give up the gun.
Many corporations are discov-
ering that efficiency is more
profitable than ruthlessness when
it comes to the conduct of af-
fairs.
The Duluth daily papers tell
how beautiful the exterior is. The
Rip-saw opens up the door so that
all can see how the wheels re-
volve.
The American House of Lords
refuses to draft War Profits by
further and heavy taxation. Men
are cheap but Great Wealth is
sacred.
A lot of the lads around town
declare that tht name Of "Uncle
Bob's" gasoline conveyance
should be changed to "That Nor
mon Car"
BY silence, county auditor Hal
den confesses his devious doings
in politics. Like the boy who was
caught with stolen fruit, he has
nothing to say.
The number of men falling off
ferry boats and street cars
strongly indicates that the Su-
perior saloons are vending some
potent stuff.
How a whole lot Of the boys do
wish that they had jumped onto
the band wagon when the water
wagon took the right Of way on
the line Of march.
Old Jack Frost has implanted
his blighting kiss on many sections
of St. Louis county. He and Old
John Barleycorn are a brace Of
undesirable citizens.
Some of Duluth s saloons have
given way to bird stores-places
where they sell swallows-ginger
ale at 20 cents drink for ex-
ample. Yum, yum, yum!
Despite the sage predictions Of
senator Charles E. Adams, Konge
Odin' 8 human submarine, the Rip
saw has not yet been sunk but
still has the freedom of the seas.
The Big Interests, such as the
powder manufacturers, the coal
barons, the millers, the wholesale
milkman and even some Of the
commission merchants and cold
storage bandits propose to do the
grunting during this war and let

either would send mob against
him or demand an arrest for
treason.
The Non-partizan League seems
determined to smash a lot of idols
in Minnesota and even entirely re-
arrange the wheels of public af-
fairs.
The owners Of unplatted prop
erty within the limits Of the city
Of Duluth finally had to put their
necks under the yoke of just taxa
ton along with the chaps who
owned plated stuff adjoining.
Now that Duluth has a female
"cop," Chief McKercher will not
have to borrow Benefits limo
type shop in which to "search"
a female thief should he pick up
one on First street.
To a man up a tree, it looks as
if a revolution were pending in
the local legal department of the
U. S. Steel Corporation. Petered
out political methods get cor
poration nowhere but on the
rocks.
All the corners of the marble
lined courthouse do not need
cleaning out but the citizens Of
the county propose to clean out
certain ones that have not been
scrubbed properly for an entire
generation.
The people of St. Louis county
propose to see exactly what those
pigeon holes in the county audi
tors office really contain. They
may, eventually, ask the cooper
alton Of the governor of the great
state of Minnesota.
The political medicine men in
theWolvin building had Chief
McKercher nicely picked out for
the next sheriff of St. Louis
county when a boom for Fred
Ward knocked over the kettle,
and spilled the dope.
The Minnesota Safety Commits
sion bars the feeding Of sheep in
northern Minnesota. The sheep
would eat the waste and help win
the war. What do lawyers, pub
fishers and that ilk know about
feeding sheep?
The Rip-saw has indisputable
evidence that the political medi-
cine men in the Wolvin building
are not at all unanimous on the
wisdom of backing "Uncle Bob"
McKercher for sheriff. When doc
tors disagree, who shall decide?
Last week, having completed
repairs on the aerial bridge, COM
missioner Phillips came out with
notice that automobile fiends who
open the "cutoff'' of their ma
chimes in the Western section of
the city, will get arrested. Evi-

Supt. Hoke is very proud of
the night schools. They will not
be complete, however, until a
class is organized for the study
of the Art of Wooing the PICKLE
Goddess Of Chance. "Kid" Tay-
lor has been suggested as an &C.
complished professor to take
charge Of that branch of night
school study.

the masses, with mighty little
money, do the lifting.
If your neighbor disagrees with
you about anything, get even by
branding him as traitor. There
are nine chances out of ten that
you can make the calumny stick.
The plain people propose to
have something to say about the
occupants of the marble-lined
courthouse. Their big opportun-
ity will come at the primaries in
1918.
It is not unlikely that, in time,
Elmer F. Blu will inject some of
the serum of Modern Methods in
the legal and political depart
ment of the local U. S. Steel Cor
poration offices.
If you have a grudge against
your neighbor, hint around that
he's a German sympathizer. In
these days of hate and turmoil
the chances are that you will
make it stick.
Those pronunciamentos issued
now and then by Commissioner
of Unsafety, Onkel Bernard Sill
bernstein, are getting him credit of
being one Of the greatest humor-
lists in Duluth.
What's that rafting sound /?
That, dear stranger, is the rattle Of
! dice as the boys shake for dollar
a throw. Certainly. There's no
gambling in Duluth.
Silver is expected soon to sell
for $1.OO an ounce. But it must
be remembered that it now costs
much more to mine and recover
an ounce of the white metal than
it did a short time ago.
When you are drawing from
$3.50 to $3.50 a month for some
soft snap in connections with
war matters, it is exceedingly
easy to tell your neighbor what
he should do or not do.
These are hard days for the old
school politicians in the Wolvin
building. Friend Halden went by
the board and now Chief McKer-
cher seems distanced before he
fairly has commenced to score.
Fred Wards boom for sheriff
may not bother John R. Mem
ing's sleep very much but it is
likely to make the McKercher
boom look like gourd vine after
a September frost.
Those who can remember the
civil war and the days Of recon-
struction can give testimony that
the man who yelled patriotism
the loudest often kept the far
thest from the firing line.
When Konge Odin goes into
exile, along with Gar Nicholas,
Kaiser Wilhelm and Emperor
Charles, the Spiders Den will
make fine place for a museum of
Anticipated political methods.
"Of course it is wrong for any
industry to seek to control public
affairs for it's own selfish advan-
tage, " recently wrote the editor Of
the Duluth Herald. Remember
this, dear little children.
