ping of the central nations soon will be available for additional exports.
 Question is Even Division.
 How acute is the situation may be gathered from government calcula- tions of our resources. There are just so many cattle, so many sheep, so many hogs and so much grain in this country. The problem is not how to ship it but how to make it go around. Here are the latest statis- tics of livestock on the farms:
 Cattle 66,S30,O0O.
 Sheep 4S,9OO,OOO.
 Hogs T1,374,000.
 This is not as greatly in excess of the normal figures as one would wish. In 1913, there were 56,527,00O cattle, 51, ,4S2, 900 sheep and 61,178,OOO hogs.
 But already, without the new factors, the presence of 2,200,000 American soldiers in Europe, added to the necessities of our allies, has brought our exports to an unbeliev- able figure. Exports of bacon in the first seven months of this year were not far from being equal to the total bacon exports for the five years pre- ceding the war.
 Exports Speed Production. 1 These heavy expectations have forced us, to speed up production to such a high pitch that a further large i expansion cannot be effected with the same facility that would be possible l in slack times. Each additional pound of beef sent abroad means strenuous effort at home. Ever | South American production will fee the strain. We must awaken our selves immediately to the seriousness: of the situation. Whether it means the government will be forced to con tinue its policy of maintaining mini mum prices on hogs, or perhaps ever to establish maximum prices, no ont can say now.

HONEY AND MAPLE SUGAR.

Honey has about the same sweeten- ing value as sugar, maple sugar is sweeter and corn syrup is less sweet. It has been stated that when a cupful of honey is used to replace cupful of sugar, the liquid in the recipe should be decreased Une-fourth.
 Aside from using sugar substitutes in cookies, desserts and other made dishes that require sweetening a con- siderable quantity of sugar may be saved in every household by the con- scientious use of some sugar substi- tute with breakfast cereals, in bever- ages and in countless other ways in which sugar has been freely and often unnecessarily used.

 Members of the French club were charmed by the splendid talk by Madame Sorieul at their opening meeting of the season yesterday after noon that was held at the home of Mrs. Clinton Barnum Seeley. Madame SorieuTs subject was La Victoire" and the victory of the Allies was the main theme in her talk. She told of the feeling that has grown stronger between America and France during the great conflict and of the deep sympathy that the entire world now bears towards France that has suffer- ed so unspeakably in this war. Two very interesting letters we're also read to the club. One came from Ella Wheeler Wilcox and the other from Pierre Loti, also a poem by Rost- land. The conservatory at the home of Mrs. Seeley was beautifully and tastefully decorated and Mrs. Seeley was a delightful hostess. She was assisted in serving tea by Mrs. Law renee Cornell. About 35 members were present.

 The pupils of Fannie A.

Every penny o1 the students, and the children are thes tudents, and the children are raking leaves, drying dishes, running errands, making cake and candy for sale substituting as janitors, and do- ing various other little things by which the money is gathered Some children are getting up early in the morning and help with the housework for which their parents pay them, and two girls of the training school are doing janitor work. This interest will surely stimulate a greater desire for other activities and will help them tc become generally useful.

announce decided reduction in
freight rates on cordwood. The
new rates will place wood in direct
competition with coal and other
fuels as soon as the Fuel Admins
traitor has fixed price on the for
mer commodity.
The new rates substantially are on
parity with those originally ordered
by the Minnesota Commission and
are from 20 to 40 per cent below
the prevailing scale A distinct benefit
to the public in the new tariff is a
rule providing that the rate will apply
equally over single line or two or
more lines of railroad, the only ba-
sis being continuous mileage.
Having been successful in obtain
ing from the Federal authorities a
radical reduction in Ignite rates
from North Dakota to Minnesota
points and now substantial re-

fuel dealers to obtain ample stores

expense, the Minnesota railroad COM

uation in the Northwest will be gen.
orally satisfactory even though the
coal supply should prove deficient.

"BILL" LAMBERT DEAD.

The news of the death of William
Lambert Saturday of pneumonia fol
lowing an attack of the flu, was re-
ceived in this city with genuine re-
greet by his large number of friends.
He was a brother of B. M. Lambert
manager of he Ely telephone ex-
change and has on several occasions
visited here. "Bill' was popular
among a large circle of friends
throughout the state. Of late he
has been travelling out of Duluth for
one of the wholesale houses of that
city. Regarding him, the Duluth
Herald of Monday said:
civilian (BilD Lambert, "A years
old, well known throughout the
Northwest as a baseball player and
commercial salesman, died here yes
terday following several days run
of influenza.
Lambert began his baseball car
eer in the Copper Country in 1898
and in 1902 came to Duluth
and joined the local team, which
was a member of the Northern
League, and which was managed by
Art Van Praag. Well known players,
who were on the same team, were
Artie Ball, Rollie Zeider, Shepard
and McMillen. In 1908 Lambert
was sold to the Kansas City team of
the Western League where he played
a couple of seasons and then forsook
the diamond to become travelling
salesman for the Duluth Cigar COM
pany. About eight years ago he
married Pine City, MINI. girl and
made his home in that city until last
summer when he came back to Du-
luth.
Lambert was a man who would
be singled out in any crowd as he
was strikingly fine specimen of
manhood. Standing over six feet,
he was proportionately built. His
facial features were far above the
ordinary and his every move denoted
the great athlete that he was. Per-
sonally he was splendid fellow and
it is doubtful if he had an enemy in
the world"

not have the temperature up to 85

down to 60 at another. Keep it
even.
We should avoid excessive firing
or exhaustion at our work both phys
zeal and mental. When we are over
tired our resistance is greatly re-
duced and we are apt to take dis
ease that we would not take if we

We should do everything possible
to keep up our natural resistance to
disease germs which is really our
greatest protection and defense.

ORE M0VEMENT.
NOT AS LARGE AS LAST YEAR
LAKE SHIPMENTS.

The movement of iron ore from
the Lake Superior region for the
season to November l was 54,253,-
500 gross tons, which indicates an in
crease of 2,617,273 tons over the
corresponding date a year ago, says
Skilling's Review. 1t is estimated
that the movement for November will
be less than 100000 tons if normal
conditions prevail for. the balance of
this month. The conditions thus far
have been favorable for the ship
ping of ore.
1t looks now as if the total for the
year will not exceed 100000
tons, but this is big. The first year
that the ore shipments exceeded 5O,-
100000 tons was in 1916, and we
doubt if they ever fall back to that
figure again. The ore movement
took tremendous stride in 1915,
showing an increase of 14,296,907
of tons over 1914, with a total of
46,318,804 tons, and still bigger
one in 1916, when 64,734,198 tons
were shipped, showing an increase
of 1884 tons over 1915. The
shipments in 1917 were 81, 587, 426
tons. The foregoing figures are OF
the lake movement of iron ore ex.
clusively.

In spite of the fact that this de-
post is of very great value because
of its great size and the consequent
small cost of mining.
Minnesota ores are decidedly rich

SEVEN SISTERS.
w. w. CAMPAIGN,
ELY RENTS FIRST INSTALL.
MENT ON BIG DRIVE FUNDS
THIS WEEK.


The first installment of our allot-
ment of $16,370.00 in the "Seven
Sisters" War Work campaign now
going on has been RENTED to head
quarters at Virginia by Secretary
Vuoti and Treasurer Wattilo.
100000 was sent in from the
treasury of the Eastern Vermilion
War Work Fund. With the adj
dition of the pledged amounts to
come in during the next six months
and which are being regularly paid
by the subscribers, the payment of
the total will be an easy matter.
$1,000 had previously been paid and
with the amount just RENTED, over
half of che allotment has been paid.
In addition to the $1,000 sent in
from the war chest, the $4,000 con-
tributed by the Oliver Iron Mining
company to the credit of this dis
triet was remitted this week. This
makes the total from this district
to date $4,000.
This combined war fund is one of
the most necessary movements. The
signing of the armistice and the ces-
sation of hostilities has invested the
several agencies doing war work with
boys at the front. With more time
on their hands the boys are bound to
run into dangers not otherwise en-
countered while actively engaged.
During battle and on active duty the
danger of wounds and death are
many During a period of inactivity
the danger to the morals of the boys
by reason of the unusual amount of
pep in the makeup of the average
American boy is greatly enhanced.
The Y. M. C. A. and other agencies
are sworn to bring our boys back as
pure as when they went over.
If you feel that the $1.00 per
month you are giving is not enough,
send in more but do not forget that
you owe the $1.00 per month for the
next six months at least and perhaps
longer-war or no war. The BOYS
must be taken care of and the "Seven
Sisters" drive is for that purpose.

MINNESOTA ORE
UNDlD KAISER.
MORE ORE MINED IN MINNESO-
IA THAN IN GERMANY AND
ENGLAND COMBINED.

How Minnesota's iron ore resources
helped to bring the Hohenzollern re-
gime crashing to the ground can be
realized in the fact that in 1918 the
state will produce more iron ore than
will be mined in Germany.
Nearly 80 per cent of the output
of iron ore in the United States
comes from the mines of Minnesota.
Preliminary estimates of the United
States geological survey places the
1918 production of iron ore in the
United States at 65,000,000 tons.
On a recent return from the north
ern part of the state, State Auditor
Preus estimated that the Minnesota
iron mines this year will ship more
than 62,000,000 tons, the largest
tonnage on record.
In normal times Germany mines
about 21,000,000 tons of ore. The
actual production in that country in
the last year, of course, is not
known but mineralologists say that
even though Germany might speed
up to war time production it cannot
mine more than 100000 tons
Indeed it will not be at all aston.
ishing if when the final figures or
the production of iron ore in 1915
are compiled it will be found that
Minnesota produced as much iron ore
as Germany and Great Britain to-
gether.
The rich beds of ore near Lake
Superior which are at present yield
ing about 55 per cent of iron, are
thought to contain nearly 100000,
900 tons. These famous beds com
pare in a measure to the German
