LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.

Three girls roaming went. They
landed at Carlton Saturday night.
They were from Duluth, and Mar
shall Collver, seeming a runaway,
questioned them at the depot and
found his scent correct. He took
the trio in tow and gave them a
nice bed in the city hall that night
and after finding out their names,
called up relatives in Duluth, who
came after them the next day.
They were aged in the neighbor-
hood of II, and were 'just out
looking for job,'' with a nickel

Sheriff Meining has the appear
ance Of a man who wishes to sue
coed himself. Frank Magic is
lying low and saying nothing out
loud, therefore his course cannot
be positively stated at this time.
Many insist that R. D. McKercher
will insist on running for sheriff.
It is admitted that his usefulness
as chief of police has ended and
that the shrievalty is his one best
bet for hanging onto the public
teat.
The people are beginning to
feel that custom and circum-
stances, if not design, are pre-
venting them from having any
thing to say very seriously in
the matter Of selecting candidates
for the district bench. For a
quarter of a century, the COVER
nor has made the first selection
Of St. Louis county's judges in
most cases and, after that, the
bar association has acted as a
self-appointed board Of trustees
to take responsibility and trouble
of judicial selections and who
cast the votes.
There is growing feeling that
this eminent board Of trustees
should give the people a chance
to choose between at least two
nominees. This is an impor-
taIt and interesting subject but
must await the future for discus
sion.

W0RCESTER'S PICCERY
BOOSTS CONSERVATION
Frederick Bonnet, Jr., Declares That Commissioner
Silberstein's Statement Concerning the
State Piggery Is Misleading.

Some weeks: ago, the Rip-saw

on a municipal piggery at Wor'
cester, the author being Prof

Shortly after that publication,
the Duluth News Tribune printed
the following, viz:
Duluth Takes Tip
From Worcester's
Loss With Piggery.
A municipal ''piggery'' at Worces-
ter, Mass, has not proved itself a
profitable undertaking, for several
years past, Investigations by Bernard
Silberstein, commissioner Of public
safety, reveal. The local safety head
is gathering as much information as
possible from outside cities, to have
available with regards to the estab-
lishment of pig farm under the jur-
isdiction of Duluth.
Losses Of the Worcester farm are

$4,000; 1913, $4,000; 1914, $14,00;
1s15,$15,000; 1915, $4,000. The
only gains were made in 1902, with
$1.96, and in 1910, when $4,184 was
cleared. The large loss in 1916 was
due to ravages of the then common
foot and mouth disease, which spread
nationally.
After the hoof and mouth disease
was cleared out, the farm was re-
stocked to a total value of $4,000
worth Of hogs. From Jan. 1 to June
1, 1917, $4,000 worth of pork was
sold. Despite its loss, the piggery is
helping to reduce the cost of living
in some respects, and making good
use Of a large amount of the city's
garbage. ..-.

ADELPHI and REX HOTELS
LOSE NEEDED LICENSES
Rex Proprietor Now Believes He Was Framed and
Will Reopen the Case for Legal Fight
to q Finish.

/ February rs, blind pigs were ex-
terminated at the Adelphi hotel,
2S01 West Superior St., and at the
Rex hotel, 2OO1 West Superior St.
Last Monday morning, sale of the
carcasses added $500 in real mon
ey to the city's treasury.
February Is, Capt. Fiskett per
sonally swore out search warrants
for both the Adelphi and the Rex.
Detective Roberg, in making re-
turns on those warrants, certified
that eight gallons of, whisky, IS
pints Of Moose beer and four emp.
ty bottles were turned up at the
Adelphi while, at the Rex, only
two quarts Of whisky, a pint Of
porter and seven empty whisky
bottles were discovered.
Robert Bean, proprietor of the
Adelphi, put up $500 bail for him.

ployee, both being arrested. Last
Monday, both men appeared be,

and paid fines of 500, each.
George D. Lucore, proprietor Of
the Rex, pleaded not guilty when
arraigned after arrest, as did his
bartender, Griffith Floyd, alias
Ernest Lloyd. Monday, last, Lloyd
pleaded guilty and paid a fine in
the sum of 500. Mr., Lucore did
not appear and his bail was for
feited.
To the Rip-saw, Mr.. Bean stated
last Monday night that the booze
found in his place belonged tc
others and further declared that
he had not been guilty Of violat
ing the Dry ordnance. That posi-
ton does not at all agree with in
formation possessed in abundance
by the city commissioners aid, al
though Mr.. Bean impressed the
writer as being sincere, he may
have meant his statement in 6

Mr.. Lucore is a special friend Of

ployee, both being arrested. Last
When asked for a personal
statement, on Thursday, Mr.. Int
core said that he was on the point
of selling out and that he pre-
ferred not to talk at that time.
AS these lines are written, The
Rip-saw is informed that Mr.. Lu-
core states that he forfeited his
bail under a misrepresentation of
the status Of the case; that he
will have the case re-opened; that
he has some sensational testi-
mony in proof Of a "frameup" OH
him and his hotel; and that he
will fight the matter in the courts
to the bitter end. He is conf
dent that he will prove himself
blameless.
A. E. McManus, that gallant
champion of law and justice, now
has Mr.. Lucore's case in his
hands. Further developments are
awaited with breathless interest.
That Ernie Lloyd has been dis
pensing booze at the Rex's soft
drink bar is we'll known but many
have believed that he did so on
his own account and without the
knowledge of his employer. His
friends have been telling how well
he has done financially since he
started to work at the Rex. There
is no fortune in tending a soft
drink bar, therefore the natural
conclusion, based on certain other
facts, must be that Lloyd has been
keeping blind pig.
Only a few days before the hotel
was pulled, Lloyd asked one &C
the prominent men of Duluth #
he wanted a drink. The man e.
piled that he was not drinking
these days.
care you not taking desperate
chances?" inquired the citizen,
who also was a schoolmate of
Lloyd in their boyhood days.
"Oh, the boys brought me a
bottle from Superior" was the re
ply. 81 thought I'd offer you
drink if you desired it,
Another excuse by Lloyd for
keeping booze behind the Rex bar
is that he became addicted to
stimulants while a real bartender,
therefore he now requires a snort
every hour or two to keep from
getting nervous.
Numerous death struggles may
be expected from Old John Bar
leycorn before his demise in st.

Washington Woman an Exception in
That She Could Get Mad and
Then make Up"

Eve was mad with Adam. When he
spoke she answered with that little
grunt all of US make when we get
ready, but no one on earth could spell.
Occasionally she would turn from the
window and look that other thing we
call "daggers" at him and then turn
her back on him again, as If she was
through with him forever in this
world, and, of course, the next. But
Adam was patient-which shows
what experience will do.
They got up at Seventh street and,
as they stood up in the aisle to wait
their turn to string out, she hooked
her hand into his coat sleeve and re-
marked, with an engaging flippancy
that it didn't seem possible could
come from such silent, grumpy wOm-
an:
"All right, hon. Consider yourself
forgiven. I've thought up all the
swear words know and chewed every

MADE MARCHING MEN SMILE
Appeal of Groups of Partisan Midi
nettes Got Desired Results From
Passing British Soldiers.

The Paris Figaro recounts the fol-
lowing picturesque episode at review
recently, which admirably expressed
the enthusiastic admiration of the
Partisan crowd for the British SOL
diers. The latter marched past, stern
and impassive. Groups of midinettes
observed that the soldiers were not
smiling. "Smile, please, smile" they
cried in French. The men did not
falter, but continued to march, grave
and meditative, because they did not
understand. "Cry Smile to them," a
linguist in the crowd suggested,
whereupon the group Of midinettes
cried in English, "Smile, please,
SMILE" And then the British smiled,
to the great delight of the girls.
LOeuvre writes: ave may say with
out hesitation, because we know we
shall be understood by our incompar-
able Poilus, that it was the British
troops, and especially the Scotch, who
produced the greatest impression"

This the Day of Young Men.

In their enthusiasm, some web
stricken in years have been heard to
argue that this ought to be called the
day of old men. But one would have
to be not only old but foolish to at
tempt to make that out. Youth will
still be served. 1t is really more en-
phatically than ever before the day Of
young men. Theirs the main service,
theirs the thrill and ecstasy of patri-
otto devotion. Yet their elders cannot
be denied a share in the great making
of history which IS going on. To be
living through it at any age is to stir
the pulses and quicken the magma
ton. 1t is a time when, with the coun-
try making so many calls upon her old
er sons, they can scarcely be blamed
if they adapt for their own use the
poets saying, and declare that it is
period when it is bliss to be alive and
very Heaven to be old.-New York

Another Argument Gone.

Whether it was ever an argument
against woman suffrage or not does
not matter. 1t was, at any rate, an
argument often advanced, that If
women got the vote that vote would
always be cast against war; that
women had no idea of big issues, and
that foreign politics must necessarily
be a field closed to them. One by one,
however, all arguments have gone,
and so this had to go. And 1000 girl
workers, in great manufacturing city
in Scotland, the other day helped to
destroy it. They sent resolution to
the minister of munitions protesting,
with Indignation and horror" against
q resolution passed by 5000 men
threatening a stoppage of work unless
peace negotiations were entered into.
It is one of those facts which need no
comment. 1t speaks for itself.-Mon'

Glaciers,

Glaciers are rivers of snow COM
pacted by pressure into ice, which
move slowly from higher to lower lev
els. In tropical and temperate eli
mates glaciers are found only on very
high mountains, but at the poles whole
continents and islands are entirely or
partially covered by them. Their dis
tribution is very extensive - from
Greenland, which is almost entirely
covered by them, through parts of
North and South America and in Eu-
rope and Asia, to the Antarctic, which
is supposed to be one great sheet of
ice 10000 feet in thickness.
