SOME CROWD
CO., 900 People Witness Homs
Guard Review Sunday.

It was estimated that at least
10000 people were in Virginia
Sunday to take part in the loyalty
showing and witness the review
Of the Fourth and Eighth battal-
ions Of Minnesota Home Guards
by Governor Burnqnist and high
military officers Of the state.
A special train left here at 3
O'Clock for Virginia having on
board Company D of this city
and many others who took advan-
tage of the Sunday train to visit
the Mesaba range. The number
on board was. increased at every
stop until Virginia was reached,
the Aurora and Biwabik COM
panies joining the Ely contingent
at their respective stations. In
addition to those going by train,
thirty-five cars left this city early
in the morning for range points.
The two battalions, numbering
nearly a thousand men, were
guests of the Virginia guards at
a dinner served in the curling
| rink where $50 uniformed men
ate in army style to the accom-.
paniment of the Fourth Battalion
Band. Shortly after dinner the
guards formed the lines for the
parade about the city, passing the
reviewing stand in platoon for
nation. On the reviewing stand

gen and the mayors of the several
towns represented by companies.
The guards marched to the ball
grounds where both battalions
drilled and were inspected by the
governor and the staff officers
with him. The drills were nee
essarily curtailed on account Of
the lack of room, the spectators
almost taking up every foot of
available space both on the grand
stand and bleachers and on the
grounds. Here Governor Burn
quist made one of the best patrio-
tic addresses ever listened to on
the ranges. He was introduced
by Mayor johnson of Virginia.
Lieutenant Bergen also spoke.
The military spectacle pre-
sented at Virginia Sunday was
one long to be remembered. Mo-
ton picture men were on the
ground and our people will soon
be enabled to see the films. They
will probably be shown by the
Home Guard of this city at some
patriotic entertainment. Right
here we wish to state that the
Ely company was among the best
on the grounds. The Ely trair
returned at 8 o'clock, everybody
on it having been well satisfied
with the day spent in Virginia.

subject came up for discussion.
It is understood that certain in
terests are able and willing to go
ahead and develop this power as
soon as satisfactory arrangements
can be made with the owners of
the power rights and as soon as
sufficient guarantees have been
shown for power. It was the
sense of the meeting that the COM
mittee appointed by the Club
some time ago consisting of Thos.
S. Written, III. G. ST. Clair, Peter
Schaefer, w. A. McCurdy and Ell.
G. Merdink be empowered to
look up the matter, secure an es-
innate of prospective required
power and report to the Club as
soon as possible.
The Club appointed a commit
tee consisting of A. J. Thomas,
M. J. Murphy and H. j. Merdink
to act in connection with the
school board and the playground
director appointed by the school
board in getting supervised play
in working order. Fred Mokros
has been named by the board TO
have charge of the Fairgrounds
for the summer months or until
the opening Of school when reg
ular physical director will have
charge. It is understood that SUI
pervised play will begin at once
and that the ball park will be
utilized for this purpose. This is
step long needed and no doubt
will prove Of vast benefit to the
younger generation of the city

ming wild heretofore during the
summer months.

POWER OF JOY RULES WORLD
Paln, oseiares Woman Lecturer, sheufd Nsvsr De Resorted to ia
 Correcting unruly Children.

A woman Is lecturing in the East on "rhe Influence of Joy" It Is also an attack on the influence of pain, which parents so much resort to in the management of children. She de. olares. according to the Ohio State Journal. that pain should never be re. sorted to to make children good, and. hence. she advises that all spankings and whipplnes should be eliminated.
 There Is nothing in pain to recon struct a child. Joy Is the only medium that should De used. Make . child happy. instead of sad, h the gospel of child tHaining. The power that lived. moved and ruled the world, she said. was the power of Joy: and this was the influence the parent should use in esining the child. This is not the way of parents. The rule Is to whip the child to make him good. It cannot result that way. A kind word and gentle association are far more powerful than a rod or any other method for producing sorrow or pain.
 The other day We heard mother shout to a little boy: 'T'll skin you alIvc." That Is enough to make a worse boy out of a had one.
