money market with the further decline
of bonds, q process which, if continued
for a considerable period of time,
might lead to heavy losses by the in
vestors in such securities and to the
consequent detriment of the properties
upon which they are issued.
Similar action was taken by the con-
troller at the outbreak of the European
war when security values dropped pre-
cipitately to low records.
For months past virtually all securi-
ties have been steadily diminishing in
quoted values.

Iron Range was scheduled to ar
rive at 10 80 and the parade went
to the station to receive them.
The train arrived on schedule
time and had on board over $50
from along the line. The rail
road contingent was in charge OF
Roadmaster John p. Shea.
The railroad boys fell in be-
hind the old timers that had
come to meet them. Headed by
A. d. Ellefsen carrying a hand
some U. S. flag and followed by
the City Band, five hundred or
more paraded the principal
streets Of the city and again
wound up at the City Hall where
automobiles had been provided
for the trip to Sandy Point for
the annual picnic. The Two Har-
bors Cadet Band accompanied the
special from the south and as
assisted materially in furnishing
music in the parade and later in
the day at the Point.
The smoothness with which the
parade and the crowds were
handled and the dispatch in which
the large number of people were
taken to the lake was commented
on by many of our visitors and
went far towards the credit of
the several committees in charge.
Everybody was taken to the
Point in record time and it is
estimated that a thousand peo-
pie were safely transported in
less than thirty minutes. Not an
accident happened and this is re-
markable when it is considered
that there were as many as fifteen

formed their duty and the capable
manner in which everything was
handled. Short addresses were
also made by Past Presidents
John Anderson and John Owens,
Chas. Trezona and w. j. West,
P. II. Brownell and others.
At 9 o'clock Friday evening
when the grand march was called
on at the Washington auditorium
nearly 200 couples were on the
floor. Prompter Fisher led the
march through it's intricate mazes.
All the old timers were in line and
an exceptionally large number of
young old timers. Prof. Jens
Flaaten had brought up an or
chestra from Duluth that was in
deed an orchestra. Mr.. Flaaten
is one Of the oldest musicians in
st. Louis county and in the early
days of the Vermihon furnished
the music for the events. For
this evening he had associated
| with himself such noted men as
Frank Lacrosse, Fred Kretchmar,
Weismiller, Hawkinson and sew
eral other Of the older heads and
leaders in the musical game and
the music the organization pro-
duced will long be remembered
with pleasure.
The dance held until 2 o'clock.
Small programs had been pre-
pared and old time dances were
freely intermingled with modern
dances. The program had been
arranged to meet the require
ments of a cosmopolitan gather
ing and the arrangement was ap-
preciated. A special feature of
the evening was the prompting Of
Ed. Fisher, another old timer.
The Old Settlers meeting this
year, as well as for previous
years, proved a success. The or
ganization is constantly growing
in membership, many new names
appearing on the list yearly. The
expenses of the yearly gatherings
are expected to be met with the

hundred men women and child
rem at Sandy Point and as many
as fifty autos on the road between
here and there at one time.
The picnic was the usual sue
cess. Local people had provided
baskets filled with the best to eat
and everyone was invited to
participate in the feasting. The
Association had also provided cof-
fee, cream and sugar, sandwiches
and stew which were distributed
among those who had not re-
ceived an invitation from friends,
and among strangers.
After the inner man had been
satisfied the program of water
and land sports was pulled off.
The log-rolling contest did not
materialize owing to the inability
to secure men for the event.
The launch, canoe and swimming
races were watched by large
groups of interested spectators.
The bands furnished music dur
ing the afternoon and dancing
was INDUCED in at the new pa
vilion. The special train left at
5 o'clock for the return trip.
At 9 O'Clock the annual banquet
was served at the Exchange Hotel.
The banquet was an enjoyable
feature and was attended by
nearly 200. Landlord Cox and
his able assistants made it a
point to be on time and make it
pleasant for everyone. The ser
vice was excellent and the good
things prepared were attentively
attended to. President s. III.

MACK TRUCKS
PROVE WORTH

MACK motor trucks are in high
favor these days." says George A.
Sabourin, Tacoma distributor.
The fact that the city of Tacoma
is using two Macks is a big rec
ommendation to prospects in the
districts tributary to Tacoma.
George finds.
Performance counts" he says,
"and that's the Mack slogan. The
truck has earned 1t, too.
Some OF the performances of
a Mack truck would make q high
mogul railroad engine look like a
tin Lizzy tied to a. fence"

CHAPTER iii,

With the assumption of power
by young Louis XIV, in 1861,
France became the great power OF
Europe. His minister, Colbert,
aided him in ambitious schemes
which forced the rest of Europe
to unite against him.
While Louis practiced such alb
solutism as was never known be-
fore, French society attained its
highest degree of culture and re-
finement. 1t was the golden age
of French literature. The court
of Louis XIV became the model
for European princes.
On the other hand, oppressive
taxes. luxurious living OF the
court and clergy, absolutism and
bigotry undermined the country's
prosperity and freedom. The
French armies we're defeated and
only jealousy among its enemies
saved France from humiliation.
Louis XIV succeeded to a tot
tering throne. The seven years
war with England in America
stripped France of Canada and
Louisiana.

FORD MEETS
THE DEMANDS

an the beginning was the
Ford car and the Ford car was
right" says Harry Manley OF the
Manley-Thompson Co. Right in
design and right in construction
"A motor car to satisfactorily
meet all the demands of the peo-
pie for service and pleasure-the
car for tly multitudes.
with that keen far-sighted-
ness that reads the call of future
years, Henry Ford foresaw that
the motor car was the coming
utility and designed and builded
accordingly: a motor car so sim
pie in mechanical construction
that anybody and everybody could
successfully operate it; so strong
in construction that it would
traverse all sorts of road condi-
lions; so flexible that it would
meet with satisfactory service the
many and various demands of all
lines of human activity--to be in
very fact the universal car.
If proof is asked, the answer is
made by more than 100000 sat
isfied Ford users throughout the
world.

THE STORY Of FRANCE

BY the time Louis XVI ascend
ed the throne, revolution was
brewing. Reforms by Ministers
Turgot. Necker and others delayed
It a bit, but the condition of
Frances lower class was so down
trodden and unhappy the uprising
had to come. Absolutism had
been developed at the expense Of
popular freedom.
Taxes were burdensome and I'M
just. The nobility, numbering
100000, owned one-ffth French
soil and paid no taxes. They re-
ceived privileges and immunities
for which the peasants had to pay.
The church owned another fifth
of the land, the crown another
fifth, and the remaining two-fifths
upheld the burden.
The middle class also had privi-
leges for which the peasantry had
to pay. Poverty reigned, agricul-
ture was wretched. Writers like
Montesquieu, Voltaire and Rous-
seau assailed the nobility and pro-
claimed the equality of man.
Revolution was imminent.
