Ely will stand behind the move
ment for hard surfaced highway
from here to Duluth and it makes no
particular difference to us whether
it is the Miller Trunk or the Yer
million Trail. Why not both? Ar
guments so far advanced, are in favor
of the Vermilion Trail as furnishing
the better bottom for road building
as it is claimed the Miller Trunk has
a large amount of swampy makeup.
Get busy, is the demand. A concrete
highway between here and Duluth
and then from Duluth to the Twin
Cities would be opening the "Play.
ground of Nation" to a world
seeking just what this country has to
offer: the finest scenery, the best
hunting and fishing grounds in the
u. S., the healthiest climate and the
association with nature in all its
grandeur.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Everyone should get busy and help
in every possible way, but while they
are boosting for better state roads
the people of st. Louis county should
not lose sight of the fact that the
state can never get around to build
the roads in st. Louis county that the
county should build for itself. Now
is the appointed time to build good
roads in st. Louis county. See the
commissioner in your district and tell
him that you want good roads mean
ing hard surfaced roads that will
stand up under severe traffic for
years. If enough of the people of
the district get after their COM
missioners something will be done.
What the people want they get, but
they have got to show that they want
a thing before they get it.-Buhl

NEW YORK TO SEND
 FARM LABOR HERE
Plans Made to Cooperate in Relieving Acute Farm Labor Shortage
 in Connecticut.

Plans for drawing on New York city for skilled labor to relieve the present shortage on Connecticut farms were made at conference in New York yesterday of David Elder, fed eral director for Connecticut of the United States employment service, and pr. George W. Kirchwey, federal director for the state of New York. X representative of the Connecticut of fee will be sent to New York to CO., operate with the em p1Oyment service there in the recruiting of dairy and general farnhands.
 While considera ble unskilled labor is available in both states. there is almost no farm labor to be had local Iy ana the approach of the busy sea- son in farming finds farmers badly in need of experienced hands. It is be- lioved that many of the discharged soldiers and sailors in New York. and others who are qualified. are not aware of the demand in Connecticut for that class of labor.
 The benefit to Dean Kirchwey's of fee of such an arrangement is that it reduces the unemployment in the metropolis, while the advantage to Connecticut is obvious. A large per centage of Connecticut products in turn, finds it's way to the markets in New Y Ork.
 Preference will be given to Connec- ticut men in the assignment to jobs but the nine local branches of the federal employment service in this state report a remarkably small num- Der of applicants for farm work re- Quiring previous experience.
 Of the 3.700 places on Connecticut farms last year by the federal employ ment service, 1,2OO came from New York city.
 Tn the superior court yesterday the divorce suit of F'lossie K. Christesen of this city against Waffle Harry Christesen was continued for one week for further proof of evidence. The plaintiff in the action asks a di- vorce on grounds of assertion. The couple were married in this city June Y, 1908, and separated last June.

 Stock Market Outlook.
 Million share days have followed each other Consecutively for about a month, and on Wednesday the total transactions reached 1,900,O0O shares the highest since 1917. At periods the market experienced more or less profit taking, induced largely by stiffening of money rates. Copper shares showed temporary strength. owing to the advance in silver. Steels recovered fairly being stimulated by better reports from manufacturing centers. Shipping shares advanced because of the prosperity of both shipbuiIders and shipowners, with good prospects of it's continuance. Re- ports of good business from nearly all sections of the country, industrial and agricultural. also gave the mar ket a confident understone Railroad shares came in for increased atten- ton, owing partly to the expectation of better gross earnings but manly because of the belief that congress would soon give needed legislative -elief. and that the government in ttte llllit NoulU ana must It'tl u tlle roads to their owners in as good con- dition as when taken over. Favor able crop advices and other satis- factory business conditions served to maintain confidence in the future of the market despite realizing and oc- casional soft spots. Much of the speculative buying came from the West. where funds seem abundant
 
 security offerings have been put on the market during the last two weeks than at any time since we entered the war. deslrabl issues being readily absorbed. The one obstacle to more active and higher market is the monetary situation. This will bear close watching. The temporary ad- vance of call loans to ' 1-2 per cent was a warning that should be needed. This market will undoubtedly go higher eventually: but there is dan ger in present overbought conditions, and liquidation in certain quarters would really strengthen the situation. Preparations for payment of the first instalm ent of the Victory loan on Tuesday next may have been a fac tor in the rise of money rates. and there is the possibility of the Fed eral Reserve banks advancing their rediscOunt rates in order to discour- age excessive speculation. There is no reas son for taking other than hope ful views of the security markets; but buyers will have to discriminate more sharply if they wish to avoid the increasing probabilities of sharp setbacks. When these are over further general advance may be looked for. Washington will again he an interesting factor when con- gress opens.

The scene of the sui eide is in the Pennington town limits. Medical Examiner Ripley of Union vile viewed the remains and gave permission for the removal of the body.
 The man was clothed in three pairs of trousers, three shirts, two coats and two pairs of stockings. He also had gray overcoat. He was about 35 or 40 years of age and about 5 feet inches tall. He had brown hair and dark blue eyes. and his gen eral appearance was that of a labor ing man. The records of the local police do not contain any report of a missing man answering the de- scription of the suicide.

Uncle Peabody changed color as he
rose from his chair with strange look
on his face. He swung his big right
hand in the air as he said:
"By the eternal jumpin'-"
He stopped, pulled down the left
sleeve Of his flannel shirt and walked
to the water pail and drank out of
the dipper.
"Say, Mr.. Grimshaw, I'm awful sorry
for ye," said my uncle as he returned
to his chair, "but I've always learnt
this boy to tell the truth an the hull

We're gettin' old. It'll be hard to

Uncle Peabody shook his head With
a look of frmness.

fingers, little ones are starving for
lack of rice.
While the committee in charge of re-
lief for the Near East is struggling
manfuIIy TO secure subscriptions suffi-
cient to increase the total from $85, 900,
actually received to date, to $150,000,
the states quota, before next Monday
night, cable from the heart of one OF
the stricken districts indicates that
vast populations are facing starvation
for want of rice.
More than $1,00000O is asked for, to
be used in the purchase of this most
common food, as means of tiding
over the situation until spring, when
it is hoped to place these peoples on
a self-sustaining basis.
The urgency of the situation is made
clear in the following cable from Tiff
lis
British military authorities in the
Caucasus have option on purchase of
2400 tons rice which can be brought to
Baku at once and shipped to any part
Caucasus. Will you authorize us to
draw on you for $1,2OO,OOO at once to
purchase rice This is most available
food supply in Caucasus and unless we
can get it at once thousands OF people
looking to us for help will die of star
walton. Option must be closed at once
as. there are other bidders for purchase
rice"
Because many of the canvassers
have grown weary and feeble hearted
in their efforts and because many
generous hearted person has not been
afforded opportunity to give to this
cause, State Chairman David Gold
berg urges that subscriptions be sent
direct to Armenian-Je Relief
Headquarters, Room 1, War Work
Building, Phoenix, Arizona.
Such contributions may be made in
the form of checks, or money orders
drawn in favor of the Armenian-JeW
ish Relief Committee; they may con-
sist of Liberty bonds, War Savings
stamps, Thrift stamps or Liberty bond
coupons; or such contributions may
simply take the form of a pledge that

the next five months Many $500
pledges have been received from per
sons who felt the necessity of giving
but were unable to provide immediate

he answered with a look of amuse-

"Pm kind o. scared" said.
"You needn't be-he was once a

"Just like mel" I repeated thought

'But he was well fed in brain and

That's a curious thing about men and
women, Bart. If they are in good
ground and properly cared for they
never stop growing - never! - and
that's pretty full word-isn't it?
We had come in sight of the house.
I Jagged behind little when I saw
the great man sitting on the small
piazza with Mrs. Wright. I see Wv
idly, as l write, the full figure, the
ruddy, kindly face, the large nose, the
gray eyes, the thick halo of silvered
hair extending from his collar to the
bald top of his head. He rose and
said in deep voice:
'He sows ill luck who hinders the
reaper"
Mr.. Wright hung his sickle on a
small tree in the dooryard and an
swered:
"The plowman has overtaken the
reaper Mr.. President. I bid you well
come to my humble home"

regret to call you back to Washing

hands.
II suppose that means an extra ses-

"First let me reassure you. I shall

den for one to have on his hands,"
Don't worry. can get along with
almost any kind of human being, es-
pecially if he like pudding and milk as
well as you do" said the senator, who
then introduced me in these words:
"Mr. President, this is my young
friend, Barton Baynes, of the neigh
borhood of Lickitysplit in the town
of Ballybeen-a coming man Of this
county,"
"Come on" was the playful remark
of the president as he took my hand
II shall be looking for you."
I had carefully chosen my words
and I remember saying, with some dig
nifty, like one in a story book, although
with trembling voice:
"It is an honor to meet you, sir, and
