ly about the Red Cross stealing
blankets off a sick soldier aud
such, as we did. This German
propaganda stuff has got the XII
bosh and no one repeats what
they hear now as they once did.
We each know now that what
ever the Red Cross undertake
they do and do it square and
right. We know that every dol
lar we turn over to this splendid
organization is one hundred per
cent expended for the comfort of
our boys and we itch to use the
monkey wrench on anyone BELT
ting Red Cross work. Not sus-
plcion of graft is now known to
have occurred in this splendidly
humane association. 1t is the
greatest thing that ever happened
to us and our boys. Evey letter
from a hospital over there to
America is filled with praise of
the Red Cross and it's great work
of alleviating suffering. Let us
hope that soon there will be no
need of them and that the war
will be won. In history the Red
Cross will live forever and be
pride ard JOY to al of us. Lie tg
may they live in memory as the
greatest blessing coming to u.s..
In after years these nurses will be
as great heroes of the war as the
men who foughts with guns or
otherwise. They will stand shout
der to shoulder with those in any
line of war duty, and should be
given medals along with, whomso- J
ever.

The price of sugar is to be adj
vanced l cent a. pound, says the
United States food ,,administra-
ton. Announcement. sofAthe date
of the advance has not been made,
but will be made soon. Jobbers
are allowed to sell at a margin
of only 35 cents a hundred
pounds in advance Of the price
paid for the sugar they have, and
retailers are allowed to sell at
only 81, or ] cent a pound in ad-
vance of the price they paid for
the sugar on hand. They are not
allowed to take advantage of the
coming rise caused by increased
cost of production Of domestic
sugar and boost their prices. The
food administration is guarding
the consumers pocketbook as
well as conserving sugar.
To meet brave Frances grave
need for sugar and our army 8
equally grave need for sugar the
next six months, every American
must cut down his sugar allow

suggests six level teaspoons of
sugar daily both for the prepare

Every county needs a price in

says the food administration, is a
protection to the consumer and
also to the merchant. It protects
the latter: against the possible
charge of profiteering.
Sugar is coal for the soldier s
body furnace. The rest Of us do
not need it as he does. Let's let
him have it.

wonder of strangers who come by

And in addition to this our boys
helped out on the Fred Ward farm
some 24O days of refreshing labor.
If your rame and mine were on
the list of donors, then we have
helped to meet the expense bill OF
the Game & Fish commission. But
if we are still unmentioned, we are
paying no tax for the protection of
our wild animals and game.
And but for these wardens who
put the fear of Godin the hearts of
many, there would not be bird or
beast left in the woods today. It
is hard as it is to keep the sooner at
home. Eternal vigilance is re-
CURED to keep a horde of MUIR
derers from putting dynamite in
our lakes and streams. The war
dens are kept busy burning seines
and trailing down camel hogs.
There seems a determination on
the part of lot of people to get
the last moose. A deer track
in the mud calls out the $3.50 and
the headlight after the maker of
that track.
The seizures made by the war
dens are an interesting list toread.
Seventeen rifles were captured.
Forty-one shotguns; 10 revolvers;
2 $40 pounds of fish; 40 seines; 81
gill nets in addition to these; prs.
of brass knuckles; canoes, boats,
traps, and one dog. The dog is
excused and exonerated and was
no doubt ashamed of his master.
The list of seizures was long one
and shows the game hog to be any,
thing but a true sportsman-and a
definition of gentleman is that he
is true sportsman.

We ARE ALL LABORERS
By DR.. CRANE.

There is no labor question. The
question includes us all.
There is no laboring class. We
are all laborers.
This lis the fundamental truth of
democracy.
It is the American idea, which is
just as far removed from the Le-
nine Trotzky- Bolshevik idea as it
is from the Prussian.
Under pressure Bolsevism has
revealed itself as cruel, egotistlc,
tyrannical and hellish as kaiser
ism.
In pamphlet on "Mobilizing
Man Power" bulletin "a of the
Committee on Public Information
issued by the government, it is
made plain that to win this war
every man Jack of MS, and every
woman Jill of us, is expected to
work.
"Laborer" doesn't mean only
the man with the hoe. 1t means
also the man with the pen and the
woman with the broom.
The governments program of
Work or Fight, includes every
body, from the pretty lounge-liz-
ards to the plug uglies of the sa-
loon.
The id1er is now a traitor.
This is no time for playing at
precedence, undressing, outprimp-
ing and outposing one another.
Drop the society game Go to
work.

Labor quarrels, This is a hell of
time to strike said an -Ameri-
can soldier in France when he read

AT The STATE FAIR
(By E. P. Gibson)

st. Louis county had it's own
building and it's own exhibit ar
ranged in its own way at the
Minnesota State Fair. One of
the features in this building was
the game exhibit collected and
arranged by F. B. James Of Ely.
The Vermilion Range is also rep
resented by a. splendid display of
agricultural products.
Other features of ST. Louis
county's exhibit are the manual
training work from the Range
schools, the iron mining exhibit
of the Oliver Iron Mining Com
pany, the farm and garden pro
ducts from each of the Range
communities, and the grains, for
age crops and vegetables from
the vicinity of Duluth.
Although st. Louis county's
exhibit as such was not in compe.
tition, individual exhibitors from
st. Louis county won a lion s
share of the prizes, including first
and second on collections of ten
varieties of potatoes, $68 in other
prizes on potatoes, first on fodder
corn, first on timothy, first on
cauliflower, first on sweet peas,
second on alfalfa and a large
number of other winnings.
Then, too, the county may well
be proud Of the wonderful win
ming in the Guernsey cattle class
by Island Farm and Caribou
Farm.

as his mindsif he expects to remain
and enjoy a.world Democracy with
the rest of us. Our colored brother
is making good history for himself
in this war and, as Cobb says. is
never to be referred TO again as a
niger. And now when they
get home and take over in his
own hands the lynching bees now
in the hands of white men, he will
have done much to bring his race
to higher level. And it will come
no doubt in time, for it is their du-
ty to bring about their own saliva
ton and thus save the white man
these disagreeable duties.
We of the far North know but
little of the Southerner's troubles.
Theirs is case of white supremacy.
Live there and raise family and
mayhap, you will sometime be
found with a kerosene can in your
hands, either for yourself or your
neighbor. And you must be neigh
borly in the South. And you will
be neighborly after a short resi-
dence. The colored people them
selves should demand that they
deal with their colored culprits.
This would show the world that
they, as a race, deplore the acts of
the few and are ready to show no
mercy to them. This race prob
lem cannot be settled in a day.
The South cannot get along with
or without the colored man at his
present status. Perhaps this war
will help to bring about better
understanding among them. The
colored troops are meriting honor
able mention equally with their
white brothers. Let US hope for
them that it will continue after the

Many look at the game wardens
as an expense bill for which you

are in a way.

This paper has enlisted
with the government in the
cause of America for the
period of the war 1850.

Some two-legged skunk, with
apologies to the skunk which sports
white streak on its back while the
skunk to which we refer has a yell
low streak up and down its splne)
has circulated the report among
the foreign employees OF the mines
that Liberty Bonds are worth moth
ing and that the money paid tor
them is lost. This is the same
kind of bunk for the circulating OF
which Germany pays excellent
money and the same kind OF stuff
for which Haywood and his gang
are now putting in time at Leaven-
worth prison. It is the same l. w.
w. dope circulated by the anar-
chistic bunch against the Red
Cross, Y. M. c. A., K. of c. and
other charitable organizations and
is the same kind of putrid offal
from rotten squarehead" Germ
an from which the Germ" has not
been removed. tits the same kind
of matter dished uPby the patriotic
bone-head who classes real peo-
pie as highbrows" and tries
to foment class hatred among neigh
bors and friends. A plain polecat
insofar as stencil is concerned but
deficient in everything else that
goes to make up a real skunk. 1t
is to be hoped that those guilty of
circulating the stuff will become
known and that when known the
Germ" will be amputated with a
shot gun and the fellow separated
rom the payroll with a piece OF
rope swung over the highest rung
on the water tank ladder as warn
ing>to others with like tendencies.
Liberty Bonds are the best in
vestment in the world today. The
best country in the world is behind
the bonds and your money and my
money and your property and my
property is pledged as security foy
the loans. Besides the financial
feature of the bonds, your dollars
are backing the greatest achieve
ment the world has ever beheld.
After the war the world will be a
fit place in which we can all live
and enjoy undisputed possession
of our homes, wives and families
without the shadow of the Hun
hell-menace of Prussianism const-
antly before US. Our boys at the
front and going to the front know
that you are behind them and are
thus able to do their very best, and
you know what it means when an
American soldier does his best.
Buy bonds and get behind your
boy and my boy. Timber up that
right leg and kick the first fellow
right where his brains are and not
where they are supposed to be, who
tells you such stories.

This is fish and game country
around Ely. according to our adj
vertising at least. And yet we all
wonder why fish cost us about as
much as prime beef shipped from
the Argentine Republic. A steer
requires at least two or three years
of care and corn and miles of rail
and ship transportation and lot
other expense bills, but a can of
salmon on a shelf represents as
much or more in value than the
Argentine product-just why is
