The First Requisite.

Two-year-old Tom was out for a
walk with mother. They met a small
boy of about same age. He was very
interesting to Tom, because of the
mans size hat he was wearing.
Mother said: 'Well, shall we buy you
hat like that, Tom7" Small Tom
considered while and then said :
mo, ought to have long pants first"

these are the famous tin islands of the

The mystery has largely arisen owing
to the fact that the Phoenicians, who
We're cunning traders. and did not want
anyone else to poach on their pre-
serves. kept the source of their tin
secret.
This discovery of tin in the Hebrides
is very interesting fact, and it will be
curious If the islands that first brought
Britain into prominence should again
become source of wealth and fame.

When wood is used as reinforcing
material for concrete it should be i'm

and the wood must be so placed that
any change in the cross-seetional area
does not affect the durability of the

overlooked the concrete may crack.

The farmers, the real life-savers of the
country, are said to be unsatisfied with their
conditions. No one can blame them. Under
existing conditions the middle man is the great
est benefactor from the labor of the farmer. 1t
takes brain and Drawn to produce bushel of
potatoes and sack of wheat. Unless someone
produces it, no one will eat. Were we all mid
die men where would the eats come from. There
must be more inducements held out to the farm
er, else he will raise just enough for himself
and family. At present he is getting the short
end of his days work. The mddleman is
profiteering on the labor of the farmer. He is
making more out of the farm than the man who
owns and works it. There is but small induce
ment for one to go out, clear up farm, and
try to make money out of it. Why not become
a middle man and profit by someone else's eff
forts? To double price on potatoes is much
easier than to grow bushel The farmer is a
necessity-the middle man is not. And each
year sees more of the latter than the former.
And the reverse conditions should prevail else in
time the eats will be wofully scarce for all of
us. The government might trim down some of
its useless Bureaus and use the money thus
saved in aiding the farmer and thus remove
from him that spirit of unrest which is now
said to be casting gloom over the farmers of
the country. Without him, everything must
stop. We need him badly and something should
be done to encourage him in his work. Build
a few less battleships and scatter the price of
them where it will do some good. We are COM
ing to this. For everything on earth reverts
back to the eats.

CHILD Welfare
NOBLE WORK
BOARD DESIRES INFORMATION
OF DESERVING CASES.

Ill health is costly. There are
many children in need of medical at
tention which parents sometimes re-
fuse to give says Miss Sill. The
Child Welfare Board co-operates with
the county school nurse and the
County Medical association to get
such cases cared for.
In this county there are many
feeble-minded persons who are a
menace to themselves and the COM
munity. There have been forty
seven cases reported.
The unmarried mother and the il
legitimate child are very often neg
lected and ignored. The Child We'll
fare Board can and does lend friend
ly assistance to mother and child.
The father is made to help in the sup
port of such child. The board has
had the care of eighty-one such
babies.
Often, small and helpless children
have been placed in improper homes
where they have been neglected and
abused. This board makes investi-
cations for adoptions and placements
in foster homes. There have been
investigated sixty-two homes.
When proper home supervision is
lacking, children develop bad habits
and vicious tendencies. The board
has had thirty-one cases of neglect
and dependency, and fifty-three cases
involving children.
The County Child Welfare board,
working in cooperation with the
State Board of Control, is under
taking to find out about and to help
every handicapped neglected or de-
linquent child in the county. The
board says that if any citizen of the
county knows of a child who is not
properly fed or clothed, or is living
in unsanitary or unhealthful con-
dition, or whose material or spiritual
welfare is neglected, such cases
should be reported to the Child Wei
fare board, that an effort may be
made to remedy the condition. Every
case is treated n confidence.
Members of the Child Welfare
board are: Rev. Hardy A. Ingham,
Pres, Duluth; Mrs. Peter Schaefer,
Ely; Mrs. Willard Bayliss, Chisholm;
DR.. C. w. Bray, Biwabik; R. S.

After ten years of struggle, water power
bill seems on the point of becoming law.
The purpose of that bill is to encourage
the development of water power without Gre
ating new private monopoly.
The reason it has taken ten years is that
water power interests were so insistent on a
measure that would turn everything over to
them freely, without regard to the public in
terest that it was a case of power company law
or no law
Now, at last, measure seems to have been
achieved that will encourage capital to develop
the nations water powers without sacrificing
the public interest in this last great natural re-
source.
Every other public resource-coaI. oil,
minerals, timber-was given wholly over to
private control; and pretty bill the people
are paying for it.
But water power, the last of these great
natural resources, is too precious and too vital
to be given away.
Few realize how important it is
Long after the last ton of coal has gone to
ashes, long after the last gallon of gasoline has
given it's last spark, water will still be running
down hill. And when all our coal is white coal.
when all our motive power must be made out
of this water that runs down hill, the question
who controls the water supply will be a mighty
one.
1t is important that such bill is to be en-
acted. 1t is vastly more important that it con-
serves the vital public interest.-DuluthH Herald.

"Oh said the manufacturer "Any old kind will do" And

had said the same thing in buying clothes.
That makes about the best clothes produced and he
cannot understand why people do buy his product
Now it is time all took into consideration the value of

The British pound, the German Mark, the
on their last legs. Each day almost, the quo
tations on them are going lower mad lower.
Perhaps after all this slump may revert to the
good of America in that the Old World cannot
buy from us very much with their diminishing
dollar. Less shipping of American products
to foreign markets will no doubt follow as no
shipper wants to take money which he must
handle with a steam shovel. If this condition
works out as expected by many of our big fin
anciers, then production in this country may
overtake and pass consumption and then our
dollar will begin to be really dollar.

name. The advertising it got has made it known
to everyone that we have at last begun deport-
alton. Every country in the world has watched
the progress of that ship. It's latitude and Ion
gitude was known daily all over the world
The fact also was known in every land under
the sun that the United States will send all un-
desirables back home if they do not behave
while here 1t will have it's effect in thous-
and ways. Every bunch of Reds going back
should be advertised to the world. Make it
known that deportation is on in earnest and
that it behooves the Reds to shout in whisper.

have heard of the Buford. And there are some
