All! no. bees know how to look after
themselves in the winter time
And so we must not only gather
honey, but we must store it for the
long winter ahead. That isn't my
work. 1t is the work though of all the
worker bees.
And here in this hollow tree
where our honeycomb is, well store
our food and the young will be taught
what they must do.
They Will be taught that they are
the wax workers while the older and
wiser bees will 60 to the flowers for

little bee improves each shining hour.
That Is true saying. and we must
never let it he said of us that we have
not lived up to that saying.
No one can copy the wax comb we
make. No one has ever been able to
do the work we can do. and OF that,
we should be very proud.
But II is not enough to be proud.
We must make the pride we feel n
true pride and not false pride. a
pride which we deserve.

The best Of ali breathing exercises
is the OLD Yogi method of filling first
the lower part of the lungs. then the
middle part. and lastly the upper part,
holding the breath ii few seconds, let
ting 1t out slowly. The manner in
which the air is brought into the body
exercises certain inner muscles, that

CARNEGIE PENSION FUND.

The ninth annual report os the
United States Steel and Carnegie
Pension Fund has been made public
and exhibits very satisfactory con-
dition. The Fund was established IN
1911 and during the nine years of
its usefulness has paid out in PEN
sions the sum of $5,100,815.00. In
.cluded in the Fund are the suhsid-
iaries Of the United States Steel cor
poration mills and mines. The Oliver
Mining Company interests on The Co
gebic, Marquette, Menominee, Me-
saba and Vermilion ranges have re-
ceived during the year 1919 the sum
of $50, 509.21 of which the Yer
million range received the sum of
81 1857. Only two mines of tie
Vermilion are included in the Fund,
the Soudan and the Zenith. The to-
tai number of benefciaries active in
1919 was 3,198 of which 25S were
discontinued during the year. The
average age of pensioners for the
nine years is given as 1854 years.
Average service 1922 years and a
monthly average pension of $21.55.

largo is the name which the Me-
sabi Iron Company, has decided upon
for its location on the, Eastern Me-
saba range. 1t will be at the present

of. the Duluth & Iron Range rail-
road, 15 miles East of Mesaba sta
ton on the main line. It 10 there
that will be erected the first unit Of
the. large enterprise for working the
low grade deposits of magnetic. 1t
is there that a new town will spring
up and grow in proportion to the
growth Of the new industry. 1t is
quite possible, that Argo will become
the Hibbing of the East Mesaba.
The Mining Review is not official
ly informed, but there is excellent
reason to believe that Argo will not
for long be on a spur, but will be q
station on the main line of ore ship
ping between Ely and Mesaba sta
ton. There are advantages which
the railroad can obtain by routing
ore from Ely via Argo, and it is full
ly expected that the present spur to
Argo site will be extended to Ely.
The present main line via Tower will
of course be maintained, but for the
movement of ore the possible route
by the new mining location will have
advantages. which include lessened
mileage and better grades.
The new plant for treating the low
grade megnetite deposits will be con-
structed of concrete, steel and wood.
AS heretofore stated, the first unit
will have capacity for treating from
5000 to- 1000 tons per day. Other
units will be added as circumstances
dictate. The original unit will entail
an expenditure estimated at $3,000,-
900 and this money has been paid in.
The equipment will consist Of
crushers, ball mills, magnetic separa-
tors, sintering plant, etc.
The power to be employed is some
thing that has not been determined
upon definitely. The company may
install steam plant to generate ell
ectrical power, or it may buy cleo
trical power. It is quite possible that

MAKE RETURNS
BEFORE FEB, /
PERSONS ARE URGED TO FILE
INCOME TAX RETURNS
EARLY.

Joseph C. Shartel, chief Of the
sixth state division Of the special
tax department, Monday cited the
penalties involved for failure to
make income tax returns or falsify-
ing them and urged that persons
subject to the tax file their returns
on February 1, or as soon thereafter
as possible in order to avoid any
possibility of delinquency. The per-
iod for filing income tax reports is
from February / until midnight on
March /.
The penalty for making a false or
fraudulent report of income return
is fine not exceeding $4,000 or
maximum Imprisonment Of one year,
or both, in the discretion of the
court. In addition to this the guilty
person may have to pay so per cent
of the tax evaded. Mr.. Shartel said.
For a failure to make a return
within the specified time calls for, a
penalty Of not more than $1,000 and
in addition rs per cent of the amount
of the tax due. For failure to pay
the tax when due or an understate-
ment of the tax through negligence
the penalty is 5 per cent Of the tax
due but unpaid, plus interest at the
rate of l per cent month during
the period in which the tax remains
unpaid.
Those who are protesting against
landlords may seek balm to their
feelings through the income tax re-
turn blanks, according to Mr.. Shar-
tel. The tenant should clearly state
the exact amount of rental payments

VACATION TRIP.

Capt. James Nankervis left Sat-
urday for an overseas trip to Eng
land where he will spend the next
two months visiting with friends and
relatives. While away, it is also the
intention of Mr.. Nankervis to visit
the battle fields of France and Bel
gium providing he can arrange to do
so. His SON, Douglas, is a returned
veteran of the late war and his sto-
ries have created somewhat of a
hankering in his father to see the
country. Capt. Nankervis is taking
advantage of vacation after over
twenty years in the mines of this
city during which time he has not had
more than a two weeks lay-off at
one time. His many friends wish
him pleasant voyage and visit.
