County Farm Bureau ClIumI.
Edited by County Agent 9

The winning Of a championship
silver cup and q money premium Of.
ten dollars by Andrew Tofte, jr, at
the Moorhead Potato Show last No
vember is proof of what the boys
and girls of this county can accom-
plish in club work when their inter
est is aroused. While the success Of
Andrew was most marked, there,
were a number of boys and girls
who made very creditable showings
in their club work, reports and ex-
fhbits at the county fair. y :
The Farm Bureau program of club
work for this year comprises, Potato
Garden and Poultry clubs. In addi-
tion to the prizes offered by various
state, organizations the county fair
board will arrange for classes for
club members at the county fair
|
this fall.
Since club work employs both
head and hands, the boy or girl who
enters club contest and completes
the required work is bound to bene-
fit therefrom. Success in the work
may be the means of awakening in
the youthful mind realization of
the great possibilities in farming as
an occupation and so keep for rural
life those best fitted for it's pur-
suits. Parents can we'll afford to en-
courage their boys and girls to take
part in and persist in club work.
Enrollments will be made through
the schools and the county club
leader will make All early start in
the work of organization.
Every indication points to high

1t will soon be time for the seed
catalogs to arrive.
F. r. Paine has completed a new
ice house which he expects to fill
soon.
The Amundson truck line has
started operations. Their trucks are
pow making regular trips between
here and Two Harbors. They arrived
on their initial trip last Thursday,
with two truck loads of freight,
mail and express.
We cannot say we didn't get any
mail last Thursday. Two big trucks
from Two Harbors brought in about
four tons. We received newspapers
over three weeks old and magazines
and parcels till we couldn't rest.
Since then, however, we have only
had one delivery of fourth class
mail which came in last night. The
first class mail was brought in in a
Ford Saturday. The roads are now
well opened and the company has
their big busses in working order
again so we hope they will be able
to make the deliveries with more
regularity from now on. At least
until we get another snow storm.
The farmers Of Lake county have

screen or in real Life and Captain
Kidd, Jr.", Mary Picford's newest
screen vehicle which is being shown
at the Princess Saturday and Mon
day is builded around buried treas

treasure one would expect to find
after digging for days. Yet it is

II Ii ner0ulutn news *IrlDune 3 lew
weeks ago appeared an Il editorial
which gives some interesting light
on the Woodbridge ore reclaiming
process which has been expert
mented on in Duluth for some time.
Owners of mineral lands in this
county are very much interested in
this experiment as most of our ores
would have to be handled by such a
method. The success of the expert
ment as related in this article is
very interesting to us, not 50 much
as an argument against tonnage tax
as for the news it contains:
The strongest argument this iron
section of the state has against a
tonnage tax is the perfecting of the
Swart- Woodbridge process Of re-
claiming low grade magnetic ore.
Why is this 80? Where is the inter-
est in this of all the people of this
state? The story is as thrilling as a
novel and the moral as plain as in
the old Sunday school books.
Several years ago Dwight Wood
bridge discovered process for re-
claiming these ores. There is an un-
told quantity of them in rock as
hard as trap rock and much the
same color. Interests in Duluth
owned large acreage of these lands
which were wholly valueless even as
goat pasture. With other capital
the work of commercializing this
process was undertaken.
Here w. G. Swart came in. An
engineer of high standing, the job
Of working out a practical method
Of applying the process mechanically
was turned over to him. He built a
small plant on the bay front in this
city and for three years has devoted
bis entire time to the mechanics of
the process.
The financial hackers of the pro-
ject gave him an open purse. He
spent $75O,OO0 before he was ready
:to make his final report with plans
for d definite production mill large
enough to operate at profit. This
was last fall. ,.... -.
"The News Tribune only two
weeks ago was authorized to an
nounce that such unit plant would
be built this year on the property
on the eastern Mesaba range. It was
also announced that this would be
but the first Of 10 such units. The
first one will cost $3,00o,0 900, the to-
tai investment will be $4,000, 900
for the ten.
"This ore bearing rocks runs from
nearly nothing to about Is per cent
or 30 per cent Of magnetic iron.

From "The Forum in Duluth

are more than disgusted with the

Having given years of their lives
IN building up farms where nature
smiles with products in abundance
they were suddenly confronted with
the fact that the railroad that they
thought would continue to serve
them for all time has withdrawn its

] From Lake County Chronicle -On
Saturday there came to the office of
the Chronicle a resident of Grand
Marais who asked us to write joke
on the bus line service between Two
Harbors and that point. What, he
meant was that we relieve ourselves
of a bit Of sarcasm on the subject.
He related how it had taken three
days to come the one hundred miles
between here and Grand Marais that
was negotiated about two weeks ago
in four hours and half by Charles
Amundson of this city. .
He related how the present con-
cern, with a fat price for carrying
the mail, has delivered but two pa
pers in Grand Marais between the
tenth and twentieth of January.
He related how, with the junk the
company furnished for a bus, the
occupants had been driven out of
the bus to keep from being gassed
when the hay wire that held the
muffler to the exhaust in place gave
way and allowed the poisonous car
bon dioxide to not only fill the ton
neau but that the passengers had
to get out every few hundred yards
and extinguish the fire that etern-
ally broke out as the result of the
hot exhaust coming in contact with
the body of the car.
1t is a fact that quarters at the
post office have for some time been
piled up to the ceiling with mail
for the Grand Marais route that
hasn't been entirely cleaned up for
some time, and our vocabulary is not
quite equal to the occasion of indi-
eating the crime that is suffered on
the people who have gone in to de-
velop the country north of here, and
have had the rail service that they
depended upon to furnish communi-
cation to the outside world with
drawn when the timber barons had
depleted the resources of forest
products and then again. when the
taxpayers have spent enormous
sums in keeping the road open this
winter, to have company hold a
contract to deliver the mails render
such abominable service. It is not a
joke, but a monstrous crime.

the outcome will be watched with
interest. Ordinarily Congressman
Ellsworth is not along Bolsheviki
lines, his past gives the lie to such,
but if one is to accept his statement
as given above all bridges are to be
burned and the forward march order
given. One thing MIR. Ellsworth will
learn and that is majority Of the
country press is not with him on
either his elimination stand or his
League connection. It can be said
that two thirds of the press of the
state are for an elimination and the
number is growing, while as to
League connection the opposition is
to paper. With MIR. Ellsworth and
Tom Frankson holding out from any
kind of an elimination which means
that not less than five candidates
for the Republican nomination for
governor will adorn the next prim-
ary ballot.

Speaking of Mayor Hodgson, sew
eral influential rural publications
with democratic leaning have
started movement in his behalf
which almost amounts to propagan-
da. Weekly mention is made of Lar
ry and his possible candidacy, and
this is supplemented by reprints
from other papers favorable to the
st. Paul man. Mayor Hodgson says
he is not a candidate. He is going
to run for Mayor again and is almost
sure Of election, but such will not
prevent his draft for gubernatorial
honors if those behind him insist on
the sacrifice. ,-. -
