The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1918-12-06

An enormous quantity of this class
of ore is found in this section i'm
mediately east and south of the city
and extending through almost to the
shores of Lake Superior. The White
Iron Lake Iron Company has very
large deposit on section two and
Cyrille Fortier has uncovered untold
quantities Of this class of ore near
Farm Lake. Work on the White
Iron and other properties was
stopped pending the success Of the
process upon which Engineer Wood
bridge has been working for some
time. 1t is expected that work will
again begin soon on several prop
critics near this city.

people demand immediate action.
WOMEN TO BE THERE.


The important part woman plays
in the development of Northern
Minnesota, her influence in encour-
aging those who must clear the land
and exert the physical effort neces-
sary to prepare home and the i'm
portance of the community idea,
whereby settlers are grouped as much
as possible, will be ably discussed at
the coming convention of the North
ern Minnesota Development Associ-
alton at Grand Rapids on January
1916 by enc who knows whereof
she speaks.
The program committee has been
fortunate in securing the services
of Miss Mary Elizabeth Stilwell,
County Home Demonstration Agent
for st. Louis County, to give a
paper on this important subject.
Miss Stilwell is a graduate of St.
Lawrence University and the New
York State School of Agriculture
and did graduate work at Columbia
University. She was brought up on
an Arizona Ranch, spent five years
in rural northern New York, put in
few years teaching home economics
and then took up the study of social
factors affecting home life, especially
in rural communities. After we en-
tered the war, she entered the Fed
eral service as Home Demonstration
Agent. On coming to Minnesota, she
was assigned to the northeastern
district, and last January became
Home Demonstration Agent for St.
Louis County.
At a recent conference of the COM
mittee on Land for returned Soldiers,
held at Duluth, this subject was
freely discussed and it was the con-
census of opinion that the community
idea and the part woman takes in the
development of a home were subjects
not thus far given the important
recognition they deserve. Secretary
Fred T. Lincoln of Brainerd, who
attended this conference, at once
got in touch with Miss Stilwell and
arranged for her paper on the pro-
gram.
This should bring out large num-
Der of settlers and their wives, as
Miss Stilwell, from personal ex-
perience, is well qualified to present
the subject in an attractive and in
teresting manner.

The vote for Mayor in the three pre-

All the newly elected are popular

All are taxpayers of the city and men

The avalanche of refugees that
swept into Paris from the north of
France had been the despair of the
civil authorities. These homeless,
stunned people were new RESPONSE
bllity to be added to the thousands of
wounded men that came steadily from
the shambles of the west front.
Paris is an old city. 1t was not
ready to take In its neighbors' chill
dren. Its population was already a
tight fit. So 1t made the best of its
poor hospitality by offering up its gar
rets. New building construction SEEM
ed impossible. Men were scarce. The
mechanic was either manning the
trenches or fighting the fight in the
war factories. Paris was distracted.
1t is wonderful indeed how nobly
Paris tried to meet this condition.
And it is remarkable how Paris met 1t
with the aid of our own Red Cross.
Unhampered by red tape or precedent,
our Red Cross put on overalls and

tect, engineer and contractor and went
into the building of homes. Here was

FAMINE FACES FRANCE!
SAVE WHEAT TO SEND
OVERSEAS TO ALLIES

"The Allies are still hungry
and if you can spare a little more
flour, for God S sake send il, -
was the plea made recently by a
British officer to an American
audience.
Who of you, after hearing that
heart breaking cry after realizing the
necessity which faces the brave ma.
tions OF Europe, can help saving
wheat?
Two definite appeals to us are
voiced there.
One is to patriotism, the other to
common sense.
The Allies cause is our cause. Our
men are fighting shoulder to shoul-
der with their men. II food fails, the
fighters must fail. The war must be
lost to Liberty. Even the most ignor-
ant among us knows what German
victory would mean, especially to the
women and children OF the land. Our
love of country, our love of our
homes, our every instinct of self,
preservation must make us do avery
thing, whether great or small t0Ward
victory.
The other appeal is that OF human
ity. Who can refuse to deny himself
because of his greediness, his love of
his own food habits, when that
thought-the thought of the Allies
suffering-comes to us?
Can any one with either sense or
scnsibility keep on eating wheat pro-
ducts in the present need? Does 1t
not throw human weakness into an
ominous German shadow to insist up
on having food requiring white flour?
Won't you-all you red-blooded
willing American citizens let that
British officers cry for the Allies
sound in your ears: IF you can
spare a little more flour, for God S
sake send it,"

COLORADO BEAN CROP
MUST BE. INCREASED

Disheartening crop news from New
York and Michigan in regard to great
ly lowered acreage in pinto bean
planting has encouraged Colorado
bean growers to make an increased
effort to get a maximum acreage in
this state.
For the past three years, according
to the report, growers in these states
have been compelled to contend with
wet weather at harvest time which
greatly damaged their crops. In some
cases entire crops were lost.

YOUR RED CROSS
An Army Withom a Gun
By MEREDITH NICHOLSON
OF the VlaiIantes.

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument OF
mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
service of mercy and helpfulness was in Civil War
days, the Red Cross surpasses it immeasurably not
only in the range and variety of its effort. but in
efficiency and effectiveness,
The Red Cross is, may say, the arms OF the
mothers of the world reached out to their sons to
bind up their wounds and comfort them. The Red
Cross is an army OOithom a gun that wages war
only upon suffering and heartache. Where the
flag of the stars goes there the banner of the Red
Cross must fly beside it. We watch our boys go
forth to with spirit of hopefulness because we
know that this great agency Of humanity presses
close behind them; that its work is not incidental,
but the intelligent directed effort of one of the
most marvellous organizations contrived by
American genius.
We have all contributed to the Red Cross; we
shall be called upon again to contribute to its
funds.-again and perhaps again. And we will
respond again and yet againl For this is a war for
the defense of civilization and we of great free,
splendid, glorious America, have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army Of the Red
Cross solidly supporting soldiers

"POTATO WEEK" BOOSTS
CONSUMPTION OF TUBER

Eat potatoes and serve your coun-
try.
Bake them, boil them, cream them,
hash-brown them, roast them with
meat, eat them cold in salad.
Remember that every potato eaten
by an American over here will mean
that more wheat will be sent and
eaten by an American over there.
During Potato Week" the move
ment of potatoes was the heaviest
since the first of the year, according
to a report submitted to the Colorado
Food Administration by the U. s. Bu-
reau of Markets, over 450 cars Of po-
tatoes were rolled to market during
the week of April 81 to 27-'Potato
Week" There are now in Colorado
less than 45O cars of marketable po-
tatoes in the state.
But these $50 cars must be saved
from spelling, and every loyal Ameri-
can must help eat potatoes and SAVE
WHEAT for Americas soldiers and
the soldiers of the Allies.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-05-11
SAVE WHEAT

The most vital food question
facing America now is wheat
saving.
The United States Food nd
mlnlstratlon, In view of the
critical wheat shortage, asks
every Coloradoan to observe
these rules:
For the sake of the American
lads In the trenches of France
Make every meal every day a
"wheatless meal" Eat no food
of any kind containing wheat or
wheat products unless absolute
ly necessary for health.
Use potatoes, fresh vege-
tables, fruits, dairy products
and other cereals such as corn
and rice for fresh and cured
meats Of all. kinds, including
pork.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-05-11

They have gone just as far as they can go
without getting relief in some form.
Now they must either increase revenue or
decrease service. Which it shall be depends
upon the answer of the Public Utilities Com
mission. There simply isn't any other way
out.
But it would take tremendous decrease
in service to sufficiently reduce expenses be-
low income and meet the constantly rising
costs still ahead of us.
To make it concrete, let us take up some
of the ways in which expenses would have
to be reduced and the results that would
come
If wages were reduced, or even remained
as they are, big proportion of our employees
would quit-quit the cars, the shops, the
track work and the offices. The employees
will undoubtedly expect added compensa-
tion,' says the Tramway's petition, and
where this expectation is reasonable and con-
sistent the public would desire and expect
petitioner to meet it, but under present con-
ditions of its revenues, petitioner would be
utterly unable to do so."
You are interested in this as street car
rider, because if there are not enough train
men to operate cars, and not enough shop
men to repair the cars, and no operating
heads to keep the system from getting all
tangled up in itself, your service is hit
quicker than anything else.
Reduction in service, in an attempt to
make earnings meet expenses, would first
of all mean cutting down the number of cars
operated Instead of running, for example,
ten or twelve cars an hour on line, only
five or so could be operated, which would in
evitably mean infrequented service, more
crowded cars, and slower running time.
Fewer cars would mean that all cars would
be crowded with heavy standing loads, not
only at rush hours but through most of the
day. because five or six cars would be carry
ing the load formerly carried by ten or
twelve.
We should have, in order to keep up our
standard of good service, 65 more cars,

THE RED CROSS MAN
By AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR.
OF the VIgllantes

OF the VIglantes.
Broken with pain and weariness
And sapped with vile disease,
Back to the land of ruined towns,
Of murdered men and trees,
Through Switzerland from Germany
The trains of wreckage ran,-
And on the French frontier they found
Red Cross Man.
And when to what had once been home
Those haggard exiles came,
Young wheat green above the scars
OF steel and blood and flame
Round new built houses where once more
The work of life began.
And still they found to welcome them
A Red Cross Man.
There the husband clasped again
The wife he mourned dead
The child was on its mothers breast,
The old were comforted.
What wonder if they hope to find
The Angel of Gods Plan
Who meets them at the heavenly gate
Red Cross Man!

Denver's street railways have been rum

The man running the peanut stand on the

you think about it.
And when we stop to think of the wallop

coming of the automobile
and the additional blow dealt a short
time later by the rapid rise in labor and ma

tradition, with thousands of others,
has been shattered, and now real
thrift and loyalty to country makes
substitutes serve where only wheat
was once known.
