CAPT. JACK ROSS
GETS BACK HOME.
Rich Results Follow Winters
Work Around Legislature
In Ga pita| City,.

Capt. John G. Ross, executive head
of the local organization for the pre-.
vention of cruelty, is back in the
marble-lined courthouse, after sew
eral pleasant, profitable but busy
months spent in st. Paul.
When the late Robert D. McKer-
cher resigned as secretary of the
state society for the prevention OF
cruelty, John G.. Ross could have had
his shoes, but they were too small
as to salary. Later, after the dear
old legislature had started grinding,
Capt. Ross put on a substitute in
Duluth and pilgrimmed to st. Paul,
where he served the state humane
society and, incidentally, did valiant
work as lobbyist.
Now that Capt. Ross is back, re-
suits of his winters work can be cor
rectly surveyed.
When Capt. Ross went to st. Paul,
he left J. G.. Luxon in Duluth as his
substitute. It is understood that sub
stitute Luxon received 500 month
as humane officer, pro tempore, and
that the other 500 of the salary of
5000 a month went along to the ab-
sentee Ross, in st. Paul. Now that
the Ross has come back, Bro. Luxon
may be out of humane work unless

measure OF criticism, hostility and
ridicule, they took a bunch of high
school girls at Cloquet and tried to
initiate them into the mysteries of
the Florence Nightingale birdie bus
mess. After a few weeks it was
found that the Cloquet girls lacked
responsiveness and that they could
not be successfully employed to cam
outage the situation. Soon after
wards, the beautiful brides spread
their wings and flew far away.
All of the Florence Nightingale
brides were neither matrons nor ves-
tai virgins. Some of them dearly
loved the presence and society of the
male of their species. Romance
seems to have marked the associa-
tion of at least one Florence Night
ingale birdie and bachelor fire vic
tim in the hinterland.
None of these brides knew any
thing about rural life or even ami
NAL life in the rural regions. One
birdie from New York, who went
through the neighborhoods tributary
to Munger and other small towns,
actually could not distinguish boy
calf from a girl calf.
These delicate Florence Nightin-
gale brides knew nothing about
driving ferocious looking horse,
therefore they required drivers when
they went on their errands of nosing
into the farmers affairs. Of course
automobiles were preferred, but GER
tain weather and localities compelled
them to use the noble horse.
This New York birdie finally
found bachelor near Munger who
usually escorted her on her errands
of nosing around. On one occasion
he most gallantly borrowed a horse
and sleigh from neighbor. They
became so absorbed in one another's s
society that the old horse became
tired of waiting, therefore plodded
off home all by his lonesome. The
entranced couple never noticed the
departure of the noble beast.
This charity worker from New
Yorks' East Side had habit of going
into one of the Backus' pasteboard
huts and then exclaiming: "My!
What a nice house you have and
what a cute little stove you have!"
She was using psychological sugges-
tion to make the fire victims happy
and contented with what Little Eva
and his helpers had furnished.
At the same time, all the unfor-
tunate family had was a pasteboard
house, tin dishes, a toy stove and
very limited larder.
Madamoiselle became so fond OF
her bachelor friend that, after q
cruise around the neighborhood, she
would go to his lonely manse for a
few hours of soul-talk and mental
! entertainment. On one occasion, she
went out there to Munger and spent
an entire Sabbath day with the
granger charmer. Since she went
back to New York, some fat letters
are said to have come to Sir Knight
of the Plow and Harrow. It is not
| at all impossible that this kindly
] chap may yet capture genuine
Florence Nightingale birdie for his
own private cage.

THIS VERY SUDDEN SLUMP AND
WHAT TT MEANS.

Instead of giving Duluth addi-
tional steel mills, the Minnesota
Steel Co. is laying off men by the
hundred. Some time ago, it was
stated that the plant was running
80 per cent of it's capacity. There
are signs indicating that the COM
pany might find it difficult to prove
operation at 20 per cent of the big
plants capacity.
In one clerical department, when
running at full blast, seven employees
were required. At present, that
clerical force is cut down to two
men. If other departments are af-
fected accordingly, the plant Is not
running IS per cent of it's capacity.
There is difference of opinion as
to this slump. Other big industries
over the country have laid off men
recently. Only the other day the
Calumet & Hecla copper mine laid
off many men.
Lack of need and demand are rea-
sons that do not fully satisfy many
men, especially with peace some
what in sight and the entire country
in a healthy condition. There is
firmly rooted belief that reductions
in production and heavy discharge
of employees are for the purpose Of
disciplining employees and, also, paw
ing the way for hiring them back at
reduced wages.

from the Twin Cities. One, at least,
was a resident of Duluth.

from the Twin Cities. One, at least,
was resident Of Duluth.
Now these Florence Nightingale
brides were especially well versed
in doing charity and uplift work in
the great cities, among the SUBJ
merged tenth. They unconsciously
looked on the burned-out settlers of
the hinterland as objects of charity,
instead of an unfortunate people,
suddenly visited by a devastating
Act of God, needing and deserving
liberal and prompt relief.
These rara avi, as Prof. Custance
might term them, made the great
mistake of mixing up East Side, New
York, charity methods with Mime
sofa fire relief methods. AS a re-
suit, they failed to make a hit with
most of the victims of the great
forest fires.
Many of these soft, cuddly, cul-
tured Florence Nightingale brides
were experts in the card index sys-
tenn that so greatly guides uplift
work in the slums of the great cit
les. When the card index system
and the fountain. pen supplanted
heart, love and soul that character
;zed the efforts of the local workers,
the whole thing turned cold. Like
faith, without works, it was dead.
One poor fire victim walked in
from Pike Lake for some food and
supplies. It was necessary that he
see one of the Florence Nightingale
brides who was a wonderful expert
at compiling statistics and filing
away exhaustive reports.
When the poor fire victim called
at the Spalding one Sunday evening,
he was informed that madamoiselle
was "engaged socially" therefore he
must come the next morning.
He got his stuff the next morning
|, but, in the meantime, driving snow
storm had set in and the poor fellow
had to walk all the way back to Pike
Lake in that driving storm, carrying
heavy pack on his back. His fire
relief shoes were not of much ac-
count when he reached his charred
home.
There was quite a turmoil over the
Gilberts, out Arnold way. One OF
the angelic Florence Nightingale
brides took special pains to ask the
elderly man if he was keeping him.

ing as to whether or not he brushed
