The men who are following the
President seem to get the ears of
hose who have listened to both sides
of the League of Nations question
and it begins to look as if the Presi-
dent had better go back to Washing
ington and say 'Howdy?' to Gen.
Pershing. The League of Nations,
specifically, looks good to us. We
never at first believed that there were
so many holes in it. Those who are
knocking it are not offering anything
better in the place of it. Anyone
can tear down-but it takes an arch
itect to build. Politics, seemingly,
is putting the kibosh on the League
iiea. This should not be so. A
great matter of this kind should con-
Germ us all equally without any party
affiliations whatever. We all want a
world peace whether we are Repub-
can or Democratic or whatsoever.
1Jever again a world war has been
the cry of men and women the world
ever for long time. But today we
seem as far away from any realiza-
ton of this desired to be condition as
ever. What's the matter with US?

TO BUILD

|OLIVER COMPANY ARRANGING
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
OF HOMES.

Housing facilities for miners and
office employees of the Steel Corpora
ton on the Mesaba, Vermilion and
Gogebic iron ranges will be extended
by the construction of houses and
apartments of various styles at an
expense of $45O,OO0, it was an
nounced Monday at the offices of the
Oliver Iron Mining company. Bids
are now being sought from Duluth
contractors.
Individual homes of five, six and
seven rooms are planned as well as
duplex buildings and an apartment
house. The apartment house is for
Hibbing and is estimated to cost in
the neighborhood of $45,000. Sew
eral buildings are projected for this
city, some at Eveleth, Hibbing and
Coleraine and some at the Norrie
mine district in Michigan. 1t is esti-
mated that the buildings will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 each and all
are to be equipped with water and
sewer.

This is the day of the small logging

This is the day of the small logging
concern. The big companies have,
practically, gotten through with their
cuts and the big acreage is no more
for them. Today there is room for
small mills in many places. Millions
of feet of lumber can be saved by the
small mill. Cheap equipment only is
now needed. The vast preparations
of the old time logging companies is
not needed. Other grades of lumber
must now be cut. And there is much
of this stuff to be salvaged, as well as
a lot of the better grades which the
logging companies passed by. Out
on White Iron Lake, Cyrille Fortier
has opened up small saw-mill and
will no doubt find work for his saws
for several years to come in that vi
cinity. He has large boom full of
logs in the water about mile beyond
the White Iron Beach resort and a
crew of some fifteen men at work
making lumber out of the logs. He
is erecting small village of houses
there for the convenience of the men
and their families who are employed
about the works. Mr.. Fortier j: TAX

And today that peat bed lying
close to Ely is undeveloped. A forest
fire is smouldering away in one of

the old coal bin empty. Reports in
the daily papers are to the effect that
coal is going to be hard to get from
various causes. Seems like it would
lie the better part Of good judgement
to appoint delegation of experts
in the peat line and send them out

SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS.

The division of home economics of
the Minnesota college of agriculture
reports that many good positions in
home economics and along institution
al lines are going begging because the
demand for such teachers, and also
for persons qualified to occupy the
type of positions which are filled by
graduates of this division, exceeds the
supply. Vacancies numbering 215
for 1919-192O have been reported to
the division at University Farm. Fiji
ty-three positions have been filled,
leaving 1862 for which no candidates
were available. Salaries range from
$50 to $125 a month. Of the So
positions filled, SO went to persons
graduating this year. Twelve student
dietitian positions in hospitals were
vacant and only three have so far
been filled.

A million dollars for fire protec-
ton in Minnesota has been appropri-
ated. How to stop some idiot from
building a fire on some peat bed
that he may have hot cup of coffee
is not yet apparent. Fires start from
a cause Every fire cannot be laid
to spontaneous combustion or to
some locomotive that is in round
house thirty miles away. These fires
happening miles in the woods are
not started by lightning or by mice
playing with matches. They come
from some zap who has no fear Of
detection or cares a snap whether the
woods burn or not. A few horrible
examples might tend to keep the
smoke out of the air and good roads
through the forests that fire fighting
crews may be taken to the conflagra-

notices ever printed. We congratulate
the legislature on making the apprO-
priation. With the fight between the
executives of the several forestry
divisions we have nothing in common.
We would very much like to see an
adequate system of patrol established
in the infammable areas and roads
built to get to them. This means
much and notwithstanding the fact
that the committee tried to make
light of our statement before them of
last week there were 100000 acres
of infammable territory in the state
and adjacent thereto in the north
country, it is fact nevertheless. We
expect shortly to have this acreage
on an exact basis and expect to have
more to say on the subject.

Every strike for higher wages adds
another notch to the high cost Of liv-
ing. Too many of US are too proud
to practice even a small bit of econo-
my and thus try to get along on what
our income is. More wages and no
economies seems to be the watchword.
We are ashamed to ask the price of
an article or to refuse it if beyond
our legitimate means. We pitch a
ten or a twenty on the counter and
never count our change-and then
strike for more wages if the billcol-
lector becomes too persistent. Per-
haps after all were real sure enough
famine to drift along and give US a
pinch for a time, We might learn to
do Without some things and to live not
quite so much by proxy. There are
hundreds of things that we could do
for ourselves rather than to hire them
done.

The scarcity of homes all over the
world is becoming apparent more and
more each day. Here in Ely there
is need for more homes. But, the
cost of building materials and the
labor for the building is apparently
prohibitive and the new homes do
not materialize as they should. Home
owners are seldom ever found in
mobs or riots. Heads of families in
their own homes are our Kings and
our most substantial citizens. A
home owned by it's occupants makes
for better ideals. A community of
home owners never goes far astray.
"Be it ever so homely there's no place
like home of your own" Get one,
young man. Tie to it-for it is the
Grand Plan. And we are advising
this from the viewpoint of a grand
father.

The old adage about saving the

We think in billions. When the writer
went to school the billion figure was
only used by astronomers in estima-
ting how far it was to the edge of the

reading that our share of the late war
debt was Thirty Billions! Still, the
thirty billions today and thirty bill
lions then are different. The bill
lions are here with us now-then,
eggs were cents dozen and we
paid $1.10 a pair for our cowhide
boots. In short time only now we
will be using the next denomination
beyond billions as glibly as we are
now handling the billion.

ABUSE OF THE UNIFORM

The army authorities ask the public
not to buy anything from peddlers
wearing the army or navy uniform.
The abuse of the uniform by petty
profteers has become so fragrant that
this step has become necessary, and
the legitimate organizations of SER
vice men are cooperating with the
war department in this crusade
against cheap graft.
People often buy books or buttons
or other things at ten times what they
are worth because they are offered
by men in uniform and therefore they
feel that they are obliged to patronize
them. They are NOT obliged to do
this, and on the other hand when they
do they are encouraging type of
grating which the army authorities
and the real service men are trying to
stop.
If the army had the authority to
stop these practices, it would prompt
iy issue the necessary order, but it
hasn't. 1t can only urge the public
not to support them, and if the public
will heed the advice, the abuses will
stop.
The uniformed peddler, careless
that he is bringing the uniform into
contempt and disrepute, is as a rule
himself the victim of some petty deal
err in "phony" goods who seeks to
play upon the public regard for the
uniform to develop rich market. The
peddler himself isn't doing this work
because he finds better work to do,
because there are jobs these days for
everybody who is willing to work
The way to stop it is for the public
to stop buying from such peddlers
and then the peddlers will have to
seek honest jobs and the dealers who
prostitute the uniform will have to
find another market-if they can

Liberty Bonds of the First Issue
are today being quoted on the mar
ket at 100. Still, that 100 is based
on thirty cent dollar, not the forty
or fifty cent dollar with which we
bought them. However, they will
always be worth any dollar when they
become due. And the thirty cent dol
lar of today will buy 100 of these
bonds-so there you are. It seems
the better part of good judgement to
invest our money in them now
for as sure as guns the bonds will
appreciate and our thirty cent dollar
will get back to it's once famous ro-
tundity.
