Gratifying

Our last weeks issue contained a
short editorial concerning farm ac-
counts, concluding with an invitation
to our farmer patrons to call and
receive, gratis, farm account book
which we distribute. A veritable
rush for these books on the day fol-
lowing the delivery. of the paper
was very gratifying to us in more
ways than one. In the first place it
demonstrated that the farmers, are
interested in business system of
keeping track of their business; and
the incident also proved that the

Chasing Trouble

By the way that people flock into
the local postofice every evening,
despite the retQrn of the flu epidemic,
it would appear that large number
of our citizens are eager to contract
the disease. No better conditions
could be possibly arranged for the
spread of the malady than that
afforded by the nightly packing Of
the little space in front of the lock
boxes. One flu germ carrier, crowd
ing his or her way through the
tightly packed mass of people in
here can and does make thorough
distribution of the germs. No one
knows whether or not he carries flu
germs, for even if the person him
self is not i'll with the disease, the
germs may be present, and they
may easily infect somone physically
unable to combat them.

oTro PETERSON

On the morning of Jan. % Mr..
Otto Peterson passed away after a
long and severe illness.
Mr.. Peterson was born in Sweden
Sept. IL, 1850, and came to this
country with his parents when
baby of two years. He spent most
of his childhood near Marine on.St.
Croix and was married there to Miss
Hilda Torelle, October S, 1879. He
moved with his bride to his farm in
Clifton, where he had resided ever
since.
Eleven children were born to
them, two of whom died in infancy.
His wife and the following children
survive: Mrs. A. A. Tingwall, Bow
man, N. D.; Mrs. Peter Oberg and
VIM. Peterson, Dickinson, N. D.,
Mrs. Ed. Griffen, Rio Hondo, Tex,
Mrs. A. V. Larson, Minneapolis,
MISS. Creswell. River Falls, Mrs.
Hiram Berg, with her mother, her
husband still in France, Mrs. Harv-
ey Christensen, River Falls, and
Claude Peterson, at home.
All the children were home to at
tend the funeral except Mrs. Ed.
Griffen.
Other relatives and friends here
from out of town we're: sister,
Mrs. ]. Ekegren from Marine-on St.
Croix, Mrs. A. Holm, Saltwater,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Copas, Copas,
Mimi a nephew, Sumner Peterson,
Atwater, Mimi, and Nels Adolph
Torelle from Alton.
Mr.. Peterson was a man Of high
ideals and exemplary character, and
stood for all that was best in the
life of the community.
AS charter membe of the little
Lutheran church in Mann Valley,
he was intensely loyal and liberal in
his gifts, and to the last moments
of his life was devoted to the church
of his childhood.
All that love and money could do
was done by his wife and children
to make his last illness easier to
bear,. and he was never happier
than when surrounded by his loved
ones.
The world moves on; we take up
our duties again, but an aching
void remains. Our thoughts are
with him and we are thankful to the
God above for that life, that char
acter, left to Us as heritage.
His friends all join in saying, His
best eulogy was the life he lived"
The funeral was held Saturday,
Jan. IS, at the church of his choice,
Rev. Mr.. Erickson of Hudson. and
Rev. Mr.. Bird of River Falls officiat-
ing. He was laid to rest in Gods
Acre, across the way.

LIBERTY BONDS
HISTORY PROVES THAT GOV.

BAROMETER FOR THE
NATION.

One Of the most important features
Of any kind Of bond % it, marketable.
ity. The wider its distribution
among investors the better Of course
is its market. Herein lies a valuable
feature concerning outstanding Lib
erty Bonds. Owing to the huge
amount in the hands of the public, {
everyday demand and supply permit
only small fluctuations in price from
day to day. Looking over our pre-
vious war loan bonds, we find at the
end of the Civil War the country
was confronted with a gross debt Of
about $2,850, 200, 000--a stupendous
amount for that time. Nevertheless,
this debt was rapidly reduced, and
outstanding government bonds en-
joyed an active market and sold at
considerably increased prices.
A representative Civil War bond
was the loan of February, 1861,
known as "The 1872" These bonds
were brought out at 89.03 and at
tanned their highest price in Septem-
Der, 1876, when they sold at $128A
In 1898, during the Spanish-Am-
erican War, a public offering was
made of $200, 00O,0 900 worth of 3's.
There were 100000 subscribers to
this issue and they asked for 81 ,4O0,-
10000 worth of bonds. No allot-
ment was made for over $4,000.
These bonds were offered at par, and
in March, 1900 sold at 112A.
Therefore, there is every reason
to believe that the present govern
ment bond issues with their unusually
attractive rates Of interest and wide
distribution will always be readily
marketable and will enhance in value.
Every outstanding obligation,
whether that of a state, municipal
ity, railroad, an Industrial corpo-
ration, or public utility company,
sells in the market son a parity
with the governments obligations.
In other words, the keystone of our
whole investment and credit fabric
is the market value Of the govern
ment bond. " .hE#
These instances and all of the bond
history of the United States furnish
conclusive proof that Liberty Bonds
of the first four issues are extremely
valuable property and should be re-
tanned by holders who want to re-
alize handsome profit.
The Fifth or Victory Liberty Loan
notes will be even more valuable on
account of their short term and high
rate Of interest.

tclaiming at. the end of three years.
He appealed Ito the audience to be
a. liberal as possible to clean up the
national bill. That was the first oc-
casion, he said, that the returned
soldiers had appeared on the streets
in body. He urged the boys to
form an organization through which
they could work in the future, an or
ganization that would bear fruit, and
which would be a credit to them.
"The City Of Ely has prepared a
community building for you," he said,
:.and you are welcome to use it, and
anything you ask of US within our
power you are going to get" The
problems in his opinion were as great
as the problems of war, but he urged
them all to be patient. Paying a
tribute to the soldiers and the flag,
he said: "There is nothing greater
nor grander than to walk behind the
boys and the American fiag-the
flag that has never known defeat, and
which, with the help of God, and the
steadfastness of American manhood
and womanhood-shall never know
defeat"
Capt. VIM. Nudge next addressed
the meeting. In an enthusiastic
speech he said that the sacrifice had
been made, and the issues that were
at stake a few months ago were then
being settled. Democracy was safe.
President Wilson was over in France,
and was leading the world. He said
in part: "One and a half millions
still are across the water. They have
done their part. Those before you
have done their part in the great is
sue, and now our great big Uncle
Sam comes before you and asks you
to do a little more, and to go down
into your pocket and take a few
dimes and cents and contribute them.

democracy shall not perish. This is
what we ask for, and we ask nothing
too big. We ask that you will get

Southern California. Other points in
the west and in the east are under
consideration, including one near the
White Mountains, in New Hampshire.
One of the interesting possibilities
to be tested is bombing fires to put
them out. 1t is believed that bombs
charged with suitable chemicals can
be used with good results. Another
plan to be tested is transporting fire
fighters by dirigibles from which lad
ders can be lowered to the ground.
The chief use Of the aircraft this
summer, however, will doubtless be
for fire detection. At present the
Forest Service relies for this partly
on patrol, usually by men on horses,
motorcycles, or railroad speeders, and
partly. on watchers stationed at look
out points. Aircraft have many
points of obvious superiority for both
classes of detection work.

LOW GRADE ORES :.

ABLE LARGE SUPPLY.

While the campaign of benefica-
ton of iron ores has become active
on the Mesaba iron range in the past
ten years, there have been three i'm
portant conditions to meet, and en-
deavor3 to recoyer, successfully,
namely: "wash ore,n "eastern Me-
saba magnetic ores and Mesaba low
grade iron ores," says Skiling,s Min-
ing Review.
The success in the first instance is
well established, in product Of won

Before going farther it is well to
define the relative difference between

ore and very satisfactory results are
said to have been achieved by The

Low grade Mesaba range ores
are not wash ores, inasmuch as ths
silica is in such form that it cannot b

difference between low grade ores Of
the Eastern Mesaba and the Western

spring and everybody seemed to be
in line. Taking advantage of the ex.
cellent weather many people had left
town in their cars for the day
Others again had not received due
notice and some there were who
thought they had done their bit and
stood on the side lines. However the
line covered five blocks and with the
service flags, flags of the country and
society banners, presented rather an
imposing sight.
Led by a company of returned
soldiers and sailors in uniform, fol-
lowed by the City Band the Home
Guards, the City Officials and Loan
Statesmen, the school children, the
Red Cross and the public in general
the parade was made about town and
ended at the City Hall. Owing to
the inability of the committee to Sc
cure expected speakers, local men
were pressed into service and brief
addrer IS were made to the assem-
blage after the return to the City
Hall.
Geo. L. Brozich first addressed the
gatherin. He said that when the
armistice was signed on November
18th last this country was in the
midst of the greatest preparation for
war that any country had yet made,
and he could safely say that such
preparation was the means of break
ing the morale of the Germans.
But this preparation had to be car
ried out, machinery and equipment
had to be paid for, and We had to foot
the bill, whether we used the stuff or
not. 1t was far better, that we did
not have to use it. He maintained
that the liberty bonds that were to be
put on the market were the best in
vestment under the sun, with its

accurately. For precise location the
system in use depends on triangufa-
ton through reports telephoned from
separate observation points. Air.
planes would use wireless in reporting
fires, as they have done in communi-
eating with the artillery, and would
locate fires by coordinates in the
same way that gunfire in war is di-
rected to a particular spot or OBJ
ject.
From the army standpoint, the use
of aircraft in protecting the Ma
tional Forests affords q valuable OPP
portunity for training fliers and de-
veloping further the possibilities OF
aircraft and the art Of flying.

have been very SucceSSfuI IN Its ex-
haustive experimental work on the
extreme Eastern Mesaba low grade
magnetic iron ore. The problem that
confronts the present day, and will
occupy the future to some extent, is
methods by which low grade Mesaba
ores will be recoverable, and COM
mercially desirable, and enjoy de-
mand at profitable prices.
To benefit the low grade ores it
will require much experimental work,
and if a process is discovered to raise
the grade it will therefore increase
the wealth Of the state and help to
conserve the natural resources of
iron ore.
Brazil, Chile, Russia, Cuba, New
foundland and various other countries
are standing ready to invade the
United States to sell iron ores just az
soon az they can compete. Already
several of the countries mentioned
have made heavy shipments to this
country in the past. Brazil has the
largest iron resources of the world,
and some day, If care is not taken,
the iron mines Of Lake Superior may
cease to hold their present promi-
nence.
State Should Appropriate Funds.
The State of Minnesota should ap-
propriate something like $250,000
with which to experiment for a pos
sible method to successfully treat the
low grade ores. This experimental
work should be conducted under the
direction Of the State School of Mines
and several qualified men now in the
employ of the mining companies on
the Mesaba range. The combined
effort would doubtless bring import
ant results which would ultimately
mean a successful treatment.
To treat low grade iron ores will
involve great deal Of work and it
will take money and time. It cannot
be benefited by simple washing
but will doubtless be recovered by
magnetic separation. That is, the
low grade ores to be subjected to
heat. Hematite becomes strongly
magnetic on heating, and some ex-
perimental work has been conducted
by the Mississippi Valley Iron Co. Of
st. Louis, Mo-, a Delaware corpora
ton. The ore was roasted, thus
causing it to become magnetic, and
was extracted by magnetic sep
aration.
This is a subject for the state to
take charge of in experimental work,
and any successful process win be of
benefit to all, in converting slow
grade"sto a "merchantable. grade
There are millions Of tons in the
ground and in stockpiles awaiting ore
dressing, fbenefication and the ore is
in no condition to be moved in its
present state.

Supt. H. E. White was the last
speaker. He thought that another
thirty days would undoubtedly see
what the outcome would be. It would
change Europe and possibly the spirit
and destiny of its people. Address
sing the soldiers directly he said /:
"The part you, my brave men, have
had has not been small. It matters
little where you went, how far you
went. The fact remains, that you
were willing to go, that you did go,
did your part and did it WELL" He
reviewed the events that led up to
the making of Germany a great mil
itary power under Bismarck's pol
icy, resulting in the defeat Of Den
mark and Austria and the federation
of the German states. "The Germans
were at the gates of Paris in the
spring of 1918, but the allies with
the aid of our brave boys turned
them back" Continuing he said !:
"The blood has been shed-how
much of it remains for history to
tell you. The taps have been
sounded for the dead, and we are
caring for the wounded. And yet
with all that, the work is not all done.
There are two great questions before
us today. One is that we should
honor properly and sufficiently the
brave men, living or dead, who have
periodically served in the great
struggle--and another is that they
shall not have died in vain"
He had hoped for a better Am
erica and a better world, better
place to live in, as a result of such
sacrifices and expenditure of blood.
Mr.. White was sure that those boys
who have fought so bravely and
cheer-fully did not want war again.
God never intended that men should
fly at one another's Threats He
urged the audience to "carry on" so
that it would be possible to avoid
another such struggle.
