RED CROSS NEWS.

Although the American Red Cross
| is asking this year $15,OOO,O00 with
which to complete its war job at
home and abroad, not one penny for
this purpose will be asked of Red
Cross enthusiasts in Minnesota, North
and South Dakota and Montana, ac-
cording to an announcement made to-
day at Northern Division headquar-
tiers, 423 South Fifth street, Min
lneapolis.
The reason for this is that the
Northern Division has already sent
to the national headquarters surplus
funds amounting to 81 900, 900, which
is approximately one-third more than
the quota set for this division. 1t is
possible that local chapters of these
-four Northwest states will solicit
funds for their own maintenance.
A campaign will be waged to OBJ
tain $4,000 Red Cross magazine sub
scriptions during the "Roll Call" be-
tween November 2 and IL, inclusive,
when it is proposed to enroll goo, 900
Red Cross members in the, Northern
Division. Then will no longer be
magazine memberships. The mag
azine will be sold separately and on
its merits. Nationally the aim is to
procure 10000, 900 memberships and
100000 magazine subscriptions.

JUNGLE LAW.

Might is the law of the jungle.
The. lion lords it over the lesser
brutes and the elephant and gorilla
prey upon the less powerful animals
who cross their path.
The weak and the timid, the sick
and the injured hide themselves away
or are destroyed.
This is not the law of right and jus
tice, it is the law of the brute.
Civilization aims to restrain the
strong and protect the weak, care for
the ailing and give to each human be-
ing an equal chance to survive, pros
per and be happy.
Civilization is man-made institu.
ton and is far from perfect. And yet
there are few intelligent people but
prefer it to the law of the jungle.
Now come the Socialist, the l. W.
W., the Bolshevik with fixed deter
limitation that the world revert to che
law of the jungle, that all restraint be
laid aside, that our laws be ignored
and that chaos follow order and anar.
chy follow peace.
! Is it possible that some men and
women will become a party to this
sort of thing?
Think it over.-Anoka Herald.

to have an essay contest, these essays
bearing on the subject of thrift and
being limited to 100 words. The

of thrift in an effective way.
The contest is to close on Noyem-

schools desiring to obtain one of
these maps act at once. Any teacher
can get further information from the
city or county superintendent.

!: HEALTH BULLETIN
CITY OF ELY
by OWEN w. PARKER. NJ. D..
Health Commissioner

aDr. A. T. Laird, Superintendent,
Nopeming Sanatorium for tuberculo-
sis visited us a short time ago bring
ing with him a County Health Nurse.
They were looking up the patients
who had beeen discharged from No
peming Sanatorium. This is called
Follow up Work.. Mrs. Arthur
Knutson, city nurse, assisted them in
their work on this visit 1t is the in
tention of DR.. Laird that either he
or some member of the Sanatorium
staff shall visit Ely and other Range
towns and possibly hold a clinic for
tubercular patients about once in
six weeks. This is a very worthy
project and should meet with the APP
proval and assistance of all people
interested in public health.
AS money was not appropriated to
carry on Child Welfare work by the
State, the Minnesota State Public
Health Association have taken up the
work and working through the County
Public Health Association and Pedi-
atric societies are sending children's
specialists and nurses to continue the
Child Welfare Clinics.
Recently very successful Clinic
was held in Ely by DR.. Scherer of
Duluth, assisted by Mrs. Arthur
Knutson, city nurse, Mrs. Florence
Patterson, school nurse, Miss Wilson,
private nurse, Miss L. M. Keable,
FShipman Hospital nurse, Mrs. w. E.
Trezona, Chairman of the Child
Welfare Committee of Ely, Mrs. Peter
Schaefer, Member of the County
Welfare Board and Mrs. Marco Bluth
and others. The clinic was held at
the Community Building. About as
babies were examined.
The attempt in baby welfare work
is to save the babies. Too many ba-
bies die under one year of age and
they die because of ignorance on the
part of parents as to the proper care
and especially the proper feeding of
a baby.
New York City has reduced the
death rate of her babies by carrying
on a propaganda of child welfare
work and education as to proper care
and feeding of baby, so have most
of the larger cities of the country
and it is the intention of child well
fare work to lower the death rate
Of babies all over the country. We
hope to reduce our death rate in Ely.

POTATO WART
SERIOUS DISEASE AMONG POTA.
TOES BEING INVESTIGATED.

j. j. Christensen, field assistant of
the University Farm at st. Paul was
n the city Friday and looked over
the agricultural possibilities with a
view to locating potato wart, if any,
among the tubers of this section. Mr..
Christensen informed the Miner that
no potato wart existed here as far
as he could find but that careful
watch should be kept of the crop. He
describes the disease as follows:
The disease is caused by one of the
lower types of fungi, (Chrysophlyctis
endobiotica). 1t gains entrance
chiefly through the tender eyes of
the potato. The organism may also
attack the stem proper of the potato,
the portion below the ground. After
he infection has taken place a warty
cauliffower-ike growth takes place.
The size of the outgrowths may vary
from that of wrinkled pea to that
lof a cauliflower-like mass as large
as the tuber itself and it may exceed
the size of the potato. These warty
|excrescences on the tubers have given
the disease the name of potato
Wart", "Canker", and "Cauliflower''
disease. The warty growths fall off
or are broken off and decay. In sto-
rage they produce rot and infect
ltubers that might be used for seed.
When these warty excrescenses on the
|tubers decay millions of spores (sim-
liar to seeds are released. The spores
over winter in the soil. In fact the
spores, after dormant stage in the
|ground from seven to eight years,
have been known to infect potatoes
If planted in the same soil. The dis
ease may also spread by means of
dirt adhering to hoofs of animals or
on shoes of men, by washing away of
soil, by throwing diseased Feelings on
the garden, etc. In comparison to
the ordinary disease of potatoes, such
as common scab, powdery scab, black
scurf, early and late blight it out
ranks them all as these diseases can
be eradicated or controlled by proper
treatment, roguing, or spraying as
the case demands. But means for
the eradication of this serious malady,
known as black wart of potato, is ex-
|ceedingly hard and almost impossible.
He also stated that he dislikes very
much to cause unnecessary alarm
among the potato growers; but in
view of national Importance of the
potato crop (the potato crop ranking
sixth in value of all crops grown in
the United States); and keeping in
mind the seriousness and destruct-
iveness of the potato wart, Uncle Sam
is asking every potato grower and
buyer to be on the lookout for this
disease, especially at digging time.
All suspicious specimens should be
sent to your County Agent, or the
Division of Plant Pathology, Univer-
sity Farm, St. Paul.
Reward Offered.
Through the Division of Plant
Pathology a reward is offered of SIS
to the school boy or girl who first
finds the disease in Minnesota.
1t is hoped that with the co-opera-
ton of all the schools throughout
the state this. dangerous disease can
be located if it exists in Minnesota.

Sarah Bernhardt is credited with
having said: "Prettiness does not

energy, she can secure whatever else
she desires-lOve. success. power"
There is a distinction between pretti,

be pretty, but the beautiful woman has

Sense In Superstition.

There Is often cOmmOn-sense rea-
son underlying what at first sight
seems merely a superstition. Take, for
instance, the old belief amongst col
liers that mine much frequented by
mice is lucky mine. We know now
that mice are peculiarly susceptible to
foul gases, and the presence of un-
usually large numbers of these little
animals, therefore, is proof positive of
the absence of any danger. Hence the
alleged "1uck."
