ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE
FOOD ADMINISTRATION

The Food Administration Will last
by law until legal peace Is declared
by the President. II will then auto
matlealIy dissolve except as to oblio-
ations entered upon, and these must
and will be discharged either by the
Food Administration or by assigning
them to other departments Of govern
nent. in the meantime, the Food
does not intend TO re.
lax its efforts in any direction.
The Food Administration, itself,
considers that the law as at present
framed, is purely war measure. and
that its major provisions have no
place in the country except to serve
war ends. Whatever Congress may
decide as to the continuation after
peace Of any of the measures now in
force must be matter OF special leg
isIation and the particular department
that is to continue them will, no
doubt, be determined at that time.
The Food Administration in its fune-
ton Of feeding people abroad has a
larger burden after the armistice than
before, and this burden will continue
until the next harvest. There will be
plenty Of time between the armistice
and peace to determine upon any de.
tailed method Of liquidation Of the
war agencies Of the Government and
what measures must 'be continued
throughout the reconstruction period.

Killed in Mine Tuesday evening.

Maurice Lindquist was killed in
Aurora A shaft at Ironwood Tues
day evening. Since last spring he
had been employed as timekeeper
for the Oliver Iron Mining comp
any and it was part of his duties to
go underground aud take the time
of the men employed there. Shortly
after 9 o clock Tuesday evening he
had completed taking the time of
the men working in Aurora A Shaft
and it was while being hoisted to
surface in the cage that he lost his
life. He boarded the cage at the
18th level, the cage-tender gave
the signal to the engineer and the
cage was started for surface. Lind
quist was alone on the cage and just
how the accident happened is not
known, but it is thought that he
fell out of the cage, as the doors
were open. When the cage reached
surface his hat and lamp were found
on the bottom of the cage and his
mangled body was found in the bot
tom of the shaft.
The deceased was 20 years of age
and was born in Hurley on Germa-
MIA location. When he was a boy
his parents removed to Ironwood
and have made their home there
since. Maurice was employed on the
Bessemer run of the street railway
for some time previous to taking
up work at the mine. He leaves his
wife ana daughter, besides his par
ents and several sisters and broth
ers. Funeral services will beheld this
afternoon at the Swedish Lutheran
church in Ironwood, after which
the body will be taken to Upson
for burial. Mrs. Lindquist was for
IN m9rly Miss Hoyde, of Upson. Since
their marriage a few years ago they
have resided in Hurley, their pres
ent residence being on Ninth aven-
ue. The tragic death OF this young
mau has caused grief and sorrow to
large circle of friends as we'll as
his relatives.

SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC GATHER
ING PLACES CLOSED.
Board of Health Takes Precautionary
Measure to Prevent Spreading Of
Spanish Influenza.

Thursday forenoon the Board OF
Health of the city of Hurley iSsu-
ed an order directing that the
schools be closed, that services be
dispensed with in all churches in
Hurley tomorrow and that public
gatherings Of all kinds be prohibit
ed until further orders from

In accordance with the order of
the Board Supt. Murphy gave the

pupils shortly after school'was call
ed Thursday morning and the child
rem were ordered to their homes.
Local ministers have been apprised
of the order and there will be no
church services tomorrow. The
celebration of Liberty Day in
Hurley today, the plans for which
included patriotic exercises at the
high school this evening, has been
postponed.
The action of the Board of Health
was taken as precautionary mea-
sure to prevent the spreading of
what physicians have declared is the
Spanish influenza now sweepingover
the country, the increasing number
ofnew cases being reported makingit
expedient that precautions be taken.
The fore part of the week a num-
ber of cases of the "flu" developed
and Thursday morning the num-
Der of cases reported had inCreas-
ed considerably, Or. c. c. Urqu-
hart, city health officer, stated that
while the situation is not such as
to cause undue alarm the disease
had gained such headway as to
make it necessary that extreme mea
sures be taken to prevent an epide-
mic. He said that of all the cases
which had come to his attention UP
to noon Thursday but one case had
developed into pneumonia.

Spanish Influenza

The appearance of the sO-caIled Spa
nish influenza in various parts OF the
country is described by the medical
authorities al part of world pandem-
c. Because the disease Is so marked
ly contagious and so little known to
the average citizen, it calls for strict
precautions in both community and
an individual sense, if deaths from
this cause are TO prove few in number
and serious interference with businoss
and Industries are to be avoided rak-
ing influenza cases as they .un. the
death rate is not high but because of
the liability of relapse with pueu-
monia developing after the patient has
seemed well on the road TO recovery,
it Ii the part of prudence to avoid ali
unnecessary risk. by remaining Sc
cluded the influenza victim pursues a
course OF self-pr0tee and likewise
avoids exposing large numbers to the
danger Of contracting the malady from
contact with him.

RisJord upholding the board of can
vassers Another phase to the
contest was added when Raineri
started Proceedings to have the
county clerk enjointd from placing
White 5 name on the general cleo
ton ballot as the Republican nom
inee, contesting the legality of
many votes cast in the town of
Anderson and contending that his
(Ralneri's) name should go on the
ballot as the regular nominee. A
decision in this last phase of the
contest has not yet been handed
down. In case that the decision
OF the court is in favor of White he
no doubt will withdraw as an In
dependent candidate. Collins de
cided to enter the contest for sheriff
since the primary election. There
will also be Democratic candidate
for the office of sheriff at the gen
eral election, Philip Secor having
received the nomination at the
primary.
VIM. T. Lennon has filed as an
independent Republican for the
office of district attorney. He was
in the race at the primary election,

When the Boys Come Back.

AN army OInCcr mas asked the
question: What will become of
the men of our army after the war?
|. Perhaps there may be elements
OF uncertainty about some features
of the aftsr-war situation but there
IS not the slightest doubt that every
American who has served his coun-
try IN the army, navy, or the mar
inc corps during this awful war
will be treated royalty when he
leaves the service.
OF course the vast majority will
return to the positions which they
left when they enlisted. In most
cases they will be welcomed back to
their old places and doubtless in
many cases they will be given even
better positions in recognition of
their invaluable services.
Civil War veterans were given
special preferences in connection
with all of the enormous number of
governmental civilian positions avail
able, and like preference will
doubtless be shown the veterans of
this war by the Government and
also by commercial concerns of all
kinds.
Then, too, there will no doubt
shortly be formed huge national
organization of the veterans of the
great World War, similar to the
old Grand Army of the Republic
but much more extensive and power
full than that noted Civil War or
ganization. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the G.. A. R. for more
than forty years, was one of the
most powerful factors in the busi
ness and governmental affairs of the
country, electing Congressman and
Presidents of their choice and Sc
curing the passage of many private
and general laws for their benefit
The concessions were gladly made
Notwithstanding the fact that they
were veterans of the armies of only
the northern section of the country. |
How much more cordial and extern
sive then will be the recognition
that is given the millions of our
heroes of this great war when they |
return to civil life? Surely the
whole people will feel that nothing
is too good for them, and they will /
be given to understand that, hav-
ing saved the world from destruc-
ton, it belongs to them.
If there is any question about
the matter at all it is not as to /
whether the returning soldiers will /
be properly provided for in every |
way after the war but rather whet- /
her there will be anything worth |
having left for the rest of us after
we get through doing for these mill
lions of heroes all of the things we
want to do and we will insist upon
doing for their happiness and wei
fare when they come back home. |

White was a contestant for the Off

the face of the returns was defeat

started contest and questioned the
legality of the vote in the town of
Montreal. The board of county

YOUNG BASEBALLISTS
MUST WORK OR FIGHT

Washington, July 20.-Profession-
al baseball is held a non-essential
occupation under the army work-or-
fight order by Secretary Baker.
81 have decided that the work-or
fight regulations include baseball, y
said Mr.. Baker in announcing his de-
cision.
In brief the secretary held that
with many players beyond draft age
it is by no means certain that COM
plete disorganization of the baseball
business will follow, that baseball
players are men Of unusual physical
ability and a1ertness, able to ade-
quately provide for their families in
productive occupations and that the
employment Of able-bodied persons
in n-productive work cannot be
justified on the ground of the social
value of the national game.

geant Foucault looked up from his
office desk and in moment the en-
trance was jammed with excited hui

It was Richard Dahl, Swede,
with a physique like the end Of a
box car and he lowered in height like
a giant of tabled days. He had just
arrived from the woods. He'was car
rying his turkey" He was friend
ly alien. He wanted to get over to
where the fighting was and help the
Americans whip the Germans. He
was there 40 different ways on get
ting over there and he couldn't wait
for the boat to start.
Foucault ordered him to remove his
attire for examination, and this was
the sergeant's comment:
"He was the biggest and most per-
feet specimen that ever was in this
office. He was "a years old and his
folks are dead. He happened to hear
of the Americans in the fighting and
tore out for Bemidji to get over there
to help 'em out He certainly was
whale of a fellow and as active as
a cat. In fifteen minutes I had him
enlisted in the coast artillery and it
won't be long before he will be sent
over to the heavy artillery. After
he was taken, he went out and gave
away his belongings to the boys and
told 'em he was going to fight the
Germans"
And Dahl left this noon for Du-
luth.

From time to time we have boys

usually were more faithful than
others, and got to be our favorite
workers-though we always tried to
stick to our rule and never be par

Can't Make Pies.
- But we can't let the boys make
pies or doughnuts. They never would
learn to do it right, though some of
them can be trusted with dipping
doughnuts, or putting the pies in the
oven, and removing them, if we tell
them when they are done. We divide
the work among us. I always mix
the doughnut dough and make the
pies, and my sister manages the fl
nancial end of the canteen. That
arrangement gives us both the work
we like best.
We've just renewed the pie busi-
ness, but not permanently, we fear.
We had no oven in this little vii

United States cruiser San Diego was
torpedoed and sunk is the belief Of
the captain, contained in his report
to the navy department. It says the
captain of the vessel is inclined to
believe the ship was torpedoed.
Nothing Is conclusive to base
definite opinion. Circumstances are
that no wake of torpedo was seen;
second, NO convincing evidence Of a
periscope being seen; third, no sub
marine appeared, although three un-
armed rescue ships were in the vicin-

BY MISS GLADYS MCINTYRE.
(Written for the United Press. }

With the American Troops at the
Front, June 16. (By Mail. )-One
bright morning a few days ago just
after we, had awakened and before
we had begun our work in the kitch-
en- we heard some one chopping wood
just back of the canteen. We were
pleased, for we needed wood chop
ped, and it is always nicer to have
some doughboy volunteer to do it
than to have to ask. So,
I told my sister it must be the
homesick doughboy who had said the
day before that chopping wood for
us took him back to home and his
mother. He said he felt better after
chopping some wood. After while
we left our billet and-went around to
the. kitchen. Who do you suppose
was out there chopping the wood?
1t Was not the homesick doughboy,
or any other doughpoy, but the col
onel Of the regiment himself. We
were too surprised to see him swing
the axe to know what to say, and al
most forgot to thank him. He said
he liked his new job, and accepted
our invitation to have breakfast with
u.s. But the doughboys all say he
is encroaching on their rights, when
he chops wood for u.s.,
The Homesick Soldier
The homesick doughboy was an in
teresting problem to US. He had re-
ceived no maib for four months from
home, and read in paper one of his
pals had received of the death of his
sister. His father is not living eth

Of course we wanted to do some
thing for him, but it is hard to help
everyone like that, when you don't
know them. We don't dare to show
