HEALTH SURVEY SHOWS
STARTLING CONDITIONS

The Fillmore County Teachers
league is pushing the health sur
vey of the school children of the
county, and some startling facts
are promised when the task has
been completed and the actual
conditions have been made pub
lie. These will be published in the
press of the county.
J. T. Souders of the Spring
Valley schools, writing to the
Record, says: "We protect our
trees, inspect our cattle and
neglect our children.
"The physical examination Of
our young manhood, lie cout!n-
ues, "between the ages Ct 20 ard

A DULUTH SOCIETY LADY
GETS JUMBLED UP.

A kindly Christian Duluth lady
became awfully jumbled up when
she discovered that the house
maids Of that city had organized
a union, and she promptly called
upon the CONSTITUTED authori-
ties,' through the ever sympathe-
tic News Tribune, to summarily
suppress the organization.
She is probably a modern high
brow society suffragette, or one Ct

Or, again, maybe her husband is

union is the only legitimate union
that can exist, or should be allowed
to exist.
Anyway, those girls should be
ashamed of themselves for trying
to do something as a protection

A MOST KINDLY LADY.

While many of the Proctor ladies
are busily engaged in buying bonds,
knitting socks, rolling bandages and
doing all kinds Of Red Cross work,
one kindly lady believes in keeping
the home fires burning, so to speak.
Her personal mission seems to be
to administer to the pleasure and
comfort of the travelling men that
pilgrim up and down the D. M. &
N. between Duluth and the Me-
saba range. No matter what the
weather or how busy this lady Sam
aritan may be, any old time that
travelling mau sends out the S. o.
S. call, she drops her baking and
cooking, leaves the boarding house
with the hired girls, climbs onto the
passenger train and journeys to Du-
luth where she strives to entertain
and comfort the lonesome man who
is far away from his own home and
fireside. There is a growing feel
ing that this good woman should be
given some suitable decoration. One
bookish shopman suggests that
big scarlet letter pinned on her bib
might fill the requirements of the
case. An experienced conductor
says that if he had wife like that,
he would decorate her with dab
of tar and feathers.

NEW BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS

The D. M. & N. company has
started construction work on q new
oil house and a machine shop near
the new roundhouse at the upper
end of the ore storage yards. 1t is
expected that the oil house will be
finished In June and the machine
shop in July. The company is do
ing the work itself, thereby supply
ing employment for men who other
wise might be more or less idle.
Both of the new structures will be
of reinforced concrete and brick con-
struction. The oil house will be
40x60 it. in area, two stories high
and cost $4,000. The machine
shop will be 60xS0 feet in area,
two stories high and cost about $685.
900. The oil house will have
tanks to handle oil in car load lots
as well as conveniences for distribut-
ing to shops, cars and engines. The
machine shop will be equipped with
light machines and will be devoted
especially to roundhonse work. The
most modern electrical equipment
will be a feature. The latest fea-
lures in construction also will be
adopted, such as steel sashes and
wire glass.
Proctor is on the map to stay and
the company recognizes the fact by
building for a generation, not for a
few seasons.

SEASONS ORE MOVEMENT
SOON WILL BEGIN.

The Duluth Missabe & Northern
railway and ore docks are ready for
anything that the nation may re-
quire during the season in the way
of iron ore. Railway rolling stock
has been overhauled and put in pro-
per condition. The ore docks await
ore trains and the men are quickly
available to shoot that ore into the
mammoth freighters.
During the season, docks 3, 4 and
will be in full commission. Man,
moth dock No. 6 probably will get
partly into operation by the middle
of the summer.
The train men have quite fully re-
turned from their winter of work
or rest in distant places. While
there are not the shoals of "boom-
ers" seen at the opening of some
other seasons, good many men are
applying for work, being attracted
by wages and character of employ
ment. Well balanced railroad men
consider it privilege to have their
names on the D. M. & N. payrolls.
President McGonagle got back to
duty last Monday. He went away
a month or mole ago, well worn out
with two hard, steady strenuous
years Of wear and tear. Company
problems, war responsibilities, Red
Cross duties and forays of the real
estate raiders in the Commercial
Club put him in prime condition for
a real rest. He wisely took real
vacation and now has returned
greatly rested and ready to wrestle
with such men and problems as care
to tackle him.
It is not impossible that the first
ore will move some day next week.
Some Of the Independent ore boats
are most likely to open the season.
No one seems in a great rush but ice
conditions are not at all bad, there
fore the seasons activity may begin
any day.

BURNED GERMAN BOOKS.

At about 1880 p. m, last week
Thursday, about 200 citizens of
Proctor gathered quietly at the high
school where they collected and
burned all German books. While
the volumes blazed the crowd sang
yankee Doodle"
After the high school books had
been destroyed, the raiders went to
the Odd Fellows hall where they
tore German songs from books used
in ritualistic work.
The crowd was most orderly and,
after the bonfire of books, the men,
bers marched down the street sing
ing Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the
Boys Are Marching"
Constable McTaggart appeared on
the scene after the burning of the
books was over. He is considered a
wise old constable.

PROCTOR WAR GARDENS.

Proctor proposes to 90 in heavily
for war gardens this season. Home
crofters are. busily engaged in pick
ing out garden plats and a large
number of teams will make a hard
drive on the blowing. After the
garden blowing and planting are
ended, there will be general spring
cleanup of village premises. A
landscape gardener will advise the
villagers in the correct arrangement
of their yards and the proper shrub
berry to be planted.

THE BOYS SUBSCRIBE.

Thursday of last week, the Rip
saw man came to Proctor. He re-
newed a number of old ecquaint-
anees and made 50 many new ones
that his old head fairly whirled.
When knocking off time came, there
were fifty new names on that great
roll of honor-the Rip-saw subscrip-
ton list. This, by the way, is only
a little starter. The Rip saw is read
and fully appreciated in Proctor.
Editor Morrison was accompanied

and all the boys were de-e-e-elighted
to see him after his winter in the
lumber woods.

grandmother's old cook stove,
down on the farm, because the
stovepipe was too short.
Then the manual training de-
partment at the Washington jun
ior high school set about to make
stands for all the Victrolas in the
public schools. The genius from
Columbia who supervised the job
failed to first get measurements
of the Victrolas. He built his
house first, failed to measure it
and then built the foundation.
When the Victrola stands were
delivered, the practical grade
teachers, mere women, pointed out
that the bases of the Victrolas
were, in many cases, larger THAI
the tops of the stands.
That was a botch that demanded
a council of war. Supt. Hoke,
himself, and Vocational Guidance
Noyes were called into the confer
ence. After long, deep serious and
exhaustive elaboration, it was de-
cided to send a man around to
measure the bases Of the Victrolas
and then fit the tops Of the stands
to said bases by lacking a strip
on the back side of said stand tops.
In some cases, those strips will
have to be three inches wide. .
Of course getting measurements
before laying out.and building the
stands was a sordid detail. In
remedying the botch, the janitors
of the several buildings might
send in the dimensions by tele-
phone but, by sending man
around, some dandy overtime can
be charged up against the people s
treasury, all to the pleasure and
profit of the big, strong man who
measures the Victrola bases.
Instead Of rubber cushions, the
Victrola stands rest on castors.
Opinion is expressed that when
the machines are wound up, the
castors will permit the stand and
the Victrola to 60 giddily sliding
across the highly polished floor,
like a couple Of goods in a may
barn dance.
Under the supervision of grad
uate Of Columbia university, half
a dozen rather large pictures for
the Munger school were framed
at the Washington Junior high
school. Those pictures were
backed with very expensive quart
er-sawed oak Practical picture
trainers use fiber board which is
light, inexpensive and sensible.
Not only was the quarter-sawn
oak very expensive, but the pupils
who used it failed to receive a
lesson in economy, efficiency, COM
mon sense or even proper prac-
tice in framing pictures.
There are some wild, weird
stories about how much valuable
foodstuff is wasted in these times
Of war and famine by being burned
by the cooking classes, but all
THAT makes another story.

Gently appeared in court and, al
though over 70 years Of age, made
the young lawyers sit up and take
motive by the vim, vigor and

sentation were the envy of all.
Judge Thornell is we'll described

Or grasp the ocean in my span,
I must be measured by my soul;
The mind is the stature Of the man"
