interest in selling the Relief Commits
sion quantities of merchandise at reg
ular market prices and, in some in
stances, substantial advances over such
market prices. There is evidence at
hand which shows plainly that GER
tain leading wholesale house of Duluth
has been benefited in profits by the
fire to the extent of 100000 or more.
This pretty well dissipates the news
paper claims for public-spiritedness and
unselfishness on the part of some of
Duluth's so-called foremost citizens.
Duluth daily papers take Col.
Eva's word for about everything and
print stuff that will camouflage mat
tiers that affect Gov. Burnquist, the
Northern Minnesota Forest Fires Re-
lief commission and even Little Eva,
himself. The Duluth Evening Herald
recently printed choice bit of misin-
formation as follows, viz:
"The Northern Minnesota Forest
Fires Relief commission is beginning
to experience slight let-up in the
work Of relief which has been going
on steadily since the disastrous fires of
last October. Applications are coming
in very slowly, which, in the opinion
of members Of the commission, in
dicates that the emergency work is
practically completed. The work from
now on will be mainly in supplying
the needs of the fire sufferers as con-
ditions warrant.'
"Seed, with the exception Of pota-
toes, has all been delivered and as soon
as shipments ordered arrive, the pota-
toes will be apportioned, according to
the a1lotments. This will wind up the
seed supplies of the commission.
"The allotments of two-months-old
chickens which were arranged for by
the commission will be delivered IN
about two months. The applications
for these have been in for some time
and the chickens ordered. It is ex-
pected that practically all will be de-
livered during the first part of
August
Encouraging reports from the diff
ferent districts are coming into the
commission headquarters daily. Fire

THE WAY OF SELFISH MAN.

An Exchange says that newspaper
man can say nice things about man,
can puff up his business, compliment
every member of his family, lie like a
sinner to help a man out Of his mis-
takes, but if a two line item gets into
the paper that don't strike the man 3
vanity, or if the newspaper man don u
conduct his private and public business
according to Mr.. Mans idea, he for
gets all the favors the newspaper
man has done for him and goes on the
war path, knocking against the paper.
There is one beauty in this kind Of
knocking, it generally makes some
other fellow your friend.

Eyes, we are going out for little
ride,' replied Mcneil.
"G-d d-n you, come along with
me-" exclaimed the polite Palmer
"I'n show you who's running this
town. You don't know me. I'm from
Oliver. 1 was chief Of police over
there"
Bruce A. Palmer, chief Of police OF
the village of Proctor, then called the
boys all the vile and obscene names
in the list. They were fighting names
and so low and vile that no decent
sober man would use them, to say
nothing of man really and truly fiji
to be chief Of police Of so fine vii
lage as Proctor.
"You - Of --, 1 have

I'll send you to the work farm and
sell your car at auction.'
Palmer then grabbed young Mcneil
and gave him to understand that he
was under arrest.
"What am I arrested fore' queried
the young man.
"Never mind what you are arrested
for" replied the peculiar Palmer.
"May 1 call up my mother9"
Ono, sir, you are not going to call
up anyone Palmer informed him in
genuine Oliver style.
Mcneil then was locked up in the
Proctor Jail.
Some time later, Palmer came up
and took Mcneil out Of the lookup.

Palmer asked Bob Wombacher.

"Nothing but bum and tramp,

"No," Wombacher informed him.
"He never has carried on improperly
in this town and I have known him q
long time"
Palmer again locked up Mcneil.
The wild man from Oliver and other
big places then brought druggist Schell
up to the village jail

Palmer.

"Iu let you uot on 800 ball.
Palmer told Mcneil.
"Wait until I call up my mother"
the prisoner replied.
You'll call up no one," retorted the
pompous Palmer, another brainstorm
taking possession of his booze-burned
bean. "Iu railroad you just as far
as can. Then I'll auction off your
car and give the money to the gov
eminent"
McNeil's friends finally came up to
the Jail window.
"Can my aunt" he asked the boys.
Mrs. Atkins was called and came to
the Jail. She demanded to know of
chief Palmer why her nephew was ar
rested and locked up.
"He's carrying nothing but bums,'
declared the Big Chief. He's carous-
ing and drinking with them. I'm 60

WHY THE CONDITION?

1t was but short time ago that
ali the soldiers who are now return
ing, and who will later return, were
with us and there was no great
worry about finding employment for
them. Everyone who would work
had job.
Is it possible that industries have
shut down to such an extent that we
can find no jobs for them? II that
is fact there is screw loose some

try, and many OF whom will not re-
turn. Why the present condition?

THE FLU

When your back is broken and your blurred,
And your shin bones knock and your tongue is furred
And your tonsis squeak and your hair gets dry
And you're doggone you're going to die;
But you're "skeered" you won't and afraid you will
Just drag bed and have your chill,
And the Lord to you through,
For you've got the Flu, boy; you've got the Flu.
When your toes curl up and your belt flat
And you're twice Thomas Cat
And life is a long and dismal course,
And your food all like hard-boled hearse
Then lattace aches and your heads abuzz
And nothing is as 1t used to wuz,--
You've got the Flu boy you've got the Flu
What is 1t like, this Spanish Flu?
Ask me, brother, I've through,
1t is by misery out Of despair,
1t pulls your teeth and curls your hair;
And thins your blood and brays your bones,
And fills your with and groans;
And sometimes, maybe you get we'll,
Some call it the F1u--I call 1t He'll.

AN ANCIENT WEAPON


Samson slew his thousands with
the jawbone of an ass. In his hand
it was an efficient weapon and Great
ed CONSERVATION among the enemy,
While its use as an implement OF war
80 far as history records-ended
then and there, the same old jawbone
is causing some CONSERVATION today.
1t was used at Portland yesterday
when Floyd Hyde, the shipwrights
delegate to the labor convention,
stated with much gusto that Russia
is more democratic than the United
States" and that ''the United States
troops now in Russia are interna-
tional scabs."
1t was the same old iawbone that
is so commonly found controlling
labor conventions; the jawbone of a
radical, disloyal agitator. AS rule
these hot-headed members are in
the minority at such meetings, but
through persistence and hard fight
ing, coupled with a super-abundance
of the aforementioned jawbone,
they generally secure control and
take the bit in their teeth.
Hyde is furious because the Unit
ed States is interfering in Russia. He
states that Russia today with her
soviet, representing 80 per cent OF
her people, has a better representa-
ton than we are getting"
AS proof that Hyde's rantings
are merely jawbone brayings, We
will state that neither he, nor any
other man in America at the present
time, knows. of the true conditions ir
Russia. That country is torn asun
der with anarchy and revolution ant
divided into many factions. Every
thing is chaos and there is no way
until an election is held in which al
of Russia's people have right Il
vote, to determine what proportion
Of the people belong to any certain
faction or party. Hyde is making
wild guess-stabbing at what hi
BolsheHki mind imagines-and hi
utterances prove him an undesirable
He should be listed with others t
be deported.
1t is just such radicals as Hyd
that hurts the cause of organize
labor and gives 1t black eye.
There are many of us who do no
understand just why our soldiers ar
in Russia, but no true America
would ever dream Of calling our boy
in khaki nscabs," which would ais
infer that President Wilson, VIII
sent the boys across, is "scab.
