One Good Word for Him.

The Long Island nborigines made it
a practice not to bury one of their
number until someone had spoken Il
good word concerning the deceased
One time very bad old redskin went
the way of all flesh and the members
of the tribe gathered to lay him away.
1t was silent acknowledgement q
work was spoken to the credit of the
dead man. Lower and lower sank the
sun, and darkness was almost ready
to descend, when one old buck
walked up to where the body lay and
succinctly remarked. HE was q devil
of a hand at skinning eels"-or its
equivalent in the Long Island Indian
language. That was considered sufii-
cient to permit the burial to proceed
and the bad old Indian was laid away
not wholly ''unwept. uphonored and
unsung."

get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get flower Of
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium Ia dangerous habit-forming
drug), or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something shat helps constipation. No
scientist, living dead, can explain these
mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every
thing growing out of the ground seems in
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, n Y,
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned it all
through treating thousands of cases. The
result of his studies was medicine called
DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that
nature surely intended for backache, head
ache, weakening drains, bearing down
pains, periodical Irregularities, pelvic in

common to women in all ages of life. DR..

Two Monuments in Capital
In the city of Washington there are
two Lincoln monuments, besides n me-

site the old Ford's theater, contains
almost 800 portraits of the martyr
president, besides various interesting
mementos of his life and associations.
One of the monuments in the ma
tional capital fronts the city hall. 1t
is fine marble shaft, surmounted by
statue of the war president. 1t was
unveiled by President Johnson in 1868.
The other monument to the great
emancipation is located in Lincoln park,
on the other side of the city. 1t was
erected entirely by the freedmen of

WHEN HOPE CONGREGATIONAL.
CHURCH WAS BURNED.

Hope Congregational church was
dedicated on Christmas night, Sunday,
December 25, 1892. That sanctuary
was situated at Twentieth st. and
Elmira Ave., in Old Superior, OF the
East End. The building had been
partly in use for year but it was
fully completed just before Christmas.
The interior was finished in yellow
Georgia pine. Just the night before, a
handsome carpet was laid. New pews
had been installed. The dedicatory
sermon was preached by Rev. 8. T.
Kidder, Of the Ashland Congregational
academy.
just few hours after the dedicatory
services had ended, the building was
reduced to mass Of ruins by a fire.
The furnace had been going under
forced draft to warm the place, the
weather being bitter cold. A de-
fective chimney resulted in total loss,
partly covered by insurance.

But Hugh J. McClearn insists that

contention, Lester G. Gilbertson files

that he did not work on Saturday aft

shows that service was effected on Fri.
DAY, June 13. On Saturday, June IA.
Miss Viking was out of the city.
Dorothy Larson, a member of Nc
Clearn's legal staff, also files an
affidavit in which she swears that
the papers were served on Friday in
stead of Saturday. She swears that
Leslie q. Gilbertson left the McClearn
offices at COL Torrey building at about
4 p. m, Friday, June Is, stating that
he was going out to serve the sum-
mons on Rev. Mr.. Schaibly. She
swears positively as to the day and
date. She declares that she wrote
Rev. John George several times about
the note but received no reply. She
then personally prepared the summons
and complaint. She also swears that
she was not in the office Saturday aft
ernoon, June IA.
AS these lines are written, further
progress in the action, especially the
courts decision as to whether or not
the case shall be re-opened, has not
come to the Rip-saw's knowledge. y
Rollo N. Chaffee, lawyer of parts,
with offices in the First National bank
building, started suit against Rev.
John G. Schaibly away back in Novem-
Der, 1918, in the interests of the Ohio
Finance Co., a Columbus, Ohio, corpo-
ration doing business at $50 N. High
st. .-
The papers in that case would in
dicate that Rev. John George fell into
the hands of the loan sharks. Be that
as it may, the Ohio Finance Co. alleges
that, on October, 13, 1915, John G.
Schaibly and Name Schaibly negoti-
ated loan in the sum of $400, with
interest at 6 per cent. The loan was
to be repaid in eleven monthly in
stallments. The Schaiblys paid $144.47
on the obligation but nothing has been
paid since January II, 1917, accord
ing to the plaintiffs complaint, there
fore judgment is asked in the sum of
$255.53 with interest.

WINDING UP THE TRIBUNE.

Duluth's really and truly pioneer
daily was the Tribune. Later, among
other journalistic ventures, the Duluth
News was founded. In October or
thereabouts, 1892, the Tribune and
News were consolidated and named the
News Tribune. It's career Of crime
has been carried on under that name
ever since.
In 1892, Samuel A. Phillips and
Frank L. Buell., a couple Of soldiers
Of fortune, sued the Tribune Printing
Company, R. c. Mitchell and Fannie
Mitchell, praying for a receivership,
liquidation of the Tribune Printing
Company and a division of any re-
naming assets.
The case was put in the hands of
Judge Isaac E. West as referee for
the purpose of taking evidence and
then deciding on proper procedure.
The Tribune had been sold to F. J.
Chipman, ct al, and the referees de-
cision was that Phillips and Buell.
should have $4,000 of the Tribune
Printing Company's assets and that
they, in turn, should pay $1,000 as
damages.
Judge Baxter confirmed referee
Vests findings and that wound up
the affairs of the Tribune and even
those Of R. G. Mitchell, Duluth's ag-
gressive and peppery pioneer publisher.
Later, Mr.. Mitchell established the
Tribunal, a weekly paper, in which he
went after many doctor, and sur
geop, calling the latter "Jack the Rip

hungry community, the railroads would
show their friendship for the Michi.
gan Street Food Hogs by playing horse
with the car, losing it until the cher.
ries were ruined. That has been done
more times than tongue Of a man can
tell and neither railroad men nor Food
Hogs dare deny it.
The Rip-saw has been compelled to
neglect it's dear old friends down on
Michigan Street. Although overlooked,
they have not been forgotten. Some
good stories can and will be told as to
their canny stunts. Now and then
they receive a jolt and even dent, but
they have some grandly bomb-proof
features in their greedy system.
Growers do declare that Michigan
Street now is busying produce raised
by local farmers and paying fair prices
for it. Such was not the case before
the Rip-saw took up their doings. The
lime-light is as helpful in restraining
hoggishness on Michigan Street as it Is
in soaring away rats and cockroaches.
One reason for recognizing local
growers and treating them fairly well
is because the Michigan Street Food
Hogs do not wish to see q big, strong,
municipal market provided and sus-
tanned. If they can get hold Of all
that the tributary farmers raise, there
will be neither unsold produce nor ex-
cuse for public market.
Those Michigan Street Boys were
not born yesterday nor do they ever
sleep with both eyes shut. Some of
them should have been in Hoover q
place in the international food bust
ness. Fhey certainly are able, clever,
resourceful, daring and not possessed
Of excess conscience.

OHIO TAILOR sues SCHAIBLY
THE CANDIDACY OF JOHN L. MORRISON

Many weeks ago, before any other candidate was
selected teachers and citizens of this city solicited
John L. Morrison to become candidate for place
on the school board. Deeming it duty to serve the
public in unsalaried position when requested the
champion of the commoners consented.
This candidate has been more or less Intimately
connected with educational work for thirty five years.
Through long apprenticeship and then service as
master educator, he is fully qualified to begin his
duties school director the moment he takes his
seat. Time and money Of the patrons Of the school
will not be required to fit him for his position.
To date, John L. Morrison is the only candidate
to say for what he stands He wishes the vote Of no
one who is not in sympathy and harmony with his
views. Above all, he wishes it distinctly under
stood that, if elected, he will use every honorable
and legitimate effort to replace Supt. Hoke with an
ADLER, efficient and acceptable educator as
the head of the schools. Briefly and in part, cand
date Morrison firmly stands on the following
PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES.

FOOD HOGS BOOST PRICES OF FRUIT
Bayfield, Horticultural Offered Strawberries Only Case When Ncea
Street Houses Were Asking $00-Chees That Forty Pound
in Duluth Bring Only Ten Cents Pound in Oregon

The man working with only one pair
Of hands or even one brain and a pair
of hands, is compelled to possess the
ability Of superman if he and his
family get all they need to eat these
days. The High Cost Of Living seems
to be increasing, rather than decreas-
ing. The only ones who can stand
it are those with heavy accumulations
or with some business that makes
profits from the toll Of many brains
and pairs of hands-fellows who garner
in the unearned increment.
The Rip-saw has shown how milk
sold by the farmers for less than six
cents a quart, within 20 miles Of Du-
luth, is sold to the consumer at IA or
Is cents quart. Unmodified milk,
pure, rich, full-fream product, must
be secured from a small, select dairy,
ats a price anywhere from 16 to 20
cents quart.
Strawberries have cost almost any
old price this season. The Michigan
Street Food Hogs have some sort OF
cock--and--bull story about strawber-
ries leaking too much juice this year
to be shippable On the other hand,
there is street rumor to the effect
that at least three carloads were per-
mitted to spoil in the railway yards in
Duluth, instead Of having them 60 into
shortcakes for the public, at bargain
prices.
A couple of weeks ago, Bayfield,
man called on his old friend, Frank
Holt, in this city.
tsDo you want some strawberriesf"
asked the Badger State man.
"What are they WORTH" queried
Mr.. Holt.
GA dollar and half for q case OF
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-07-12

sixteen quarts" was the startling
reply.
Mr.. Holt assured the Rip-saw that,
on that very day, Michi gan Street
Food Hogs were asking 81 a case for
berries not nearly so good as those
offered him at $3.50.
The Rip-saw family. cannot afford
strawberries this year, but about the
cheapest prices noted, for berries not
over half rotten, was 30 cents a quart.
There have been very reliable stories
about berries costing 10 cents a quart
within 200 miles Of this suckertown.
For long time, those big, fat Pa
cific Coast cherries cost 40 cents a
pound in Duluth, at retail. One owner
of an orchard recently thought that
the Michigan Street price to the
middleman had come down to about
26 cents pound.
A, Duluth professional man who has
a cherry orchard in far away Oregon,
says that, packed, cherries that have
cost 40 cents a pound in Duluth have
brought 10 cents a pound in Oregon.
Unpacked, the price has been 81 cents,
both of which are considered very
high and very profitable prices. In
bulk, canneries have been paying $3.50
a ton for cherries, which would be 8
cents a pound, certainly high price
for canning.
In small lots, it costs 4 cents a
pound to bring those cherries to Du-
luth. That would be only IA cents a
pound for what has cost 40 cents here.
The middlemen certainly pinch off an
excessive profit. What that fruit would
cost in carload lots was not known by
this Duluth man but he assumes that If
he shipped a carload into this cherry
