Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them

"AlN'T"
TN THESE articles. some of the more
L common errors in speech and writ
ing are pointed out. Careful study Of
these short lessons, with the use Of a
standard grammar. will assist the
reader in acquiring the habit of speak
ing and writing correctly.
One of the most common errors is
the use of "ain't." This word is a
combination of the verb "am" and the
adverb, mot" or of the verb ARE" and
the adverb mot" Very many persons
say "he amt" "she amt" or ~ amt"
but few, II any, of them would say ''he
am not" or 'he are not" Indeed, while
the use of "ain't' with az" or 1--WE" or
you" or "they" or plural nouns is,
strictly speaking, grammatically cor
rect, the use of ''ain't" is certainly in
elegant and Is condemned by many
authorities on English grammar. II
should disappear altogether from the
language. In spite of Its long history.
Correct usage Is: II am not" or I'm
not; "he. she or 1t is not. or isn't" |;
'we. you. they are not"

HEALTH OF THE TEETH

A CLEVER advertising man once
4 \ started a campaign for a new
sort of tooth powder. It was In the
days when advertising was rather an
untried game and this mans ideas
were rather new to all who read them.
By the time he had finished he had
proved beyond much question that
about every Ill that human flesh Is heir
to came from not cleaning the teeth
enough, or with the wrong sort Of
dentifrice-the moral Of the tale being
to use his special sort of powder or
paste, Of course. Another man found
that only two people out Of ten ever
clean their teeth at all He was ad-
vertising brushes.
Well, we are advertising beauty, and
one of its attributes Is charming
smile and a row of nice-looking teeth.

H0N0RED AS GREAT TEACHER
Works Of Euclid, Ancient Mathemati-
clan, the Foundation Of the
Science Of Geometry.

Euclid was an ancient mathemati-
clan. who is said by some to have
dourished in the third century before
the Christian era. 1t is generally
held that he was Greek, but the date
and place Of his birth are unknown.
1t is generally held that much of his
work was done at Alexandria, Egypt,
which In those ancient times was a
famous seat Of learning and the CEN
ter Of extensive commerce. The most
famous work of Euclid that has come
down to us is the Elements of Geom-
etry in 13 books. The first six are the
most valuable. They contain the
foundation Of geometry, on which is
based several branches of higher
mathematics. These books are still
used In schools and colleges. The
next three books deal with the prop
critics Of numbers but they are SUPER
seded by modern arithmetic. Euclid
also left other works, such as treatises
on harmony and optics.

AT last all the animals but Jimmie
and Susie Cottontail were there, and
every one begun to wonder where they
could be and what kept them so late.
1t happened that Jimmie and Susie
Cottontail- were not at all sure they
would enjoy Mr. Fox's dinner and they
had run over to the farm on the hill
to have dinner Of some garden stuff
OF which they were fond.
They had stayed longer than they
had intended and when they started
for Mr.. Fox's house were not as eau
tious as they usually were about
throwing Mr.. Dog off their track.
Just as they were entering the wood
who should come bounding after them
but Mr.. Dog, who had followed them
from the farm, and off ran Jimmie and
Susie Cottontail looking for hole in
which to hide.
Mr.. Fox's house was the first re-
fuge they came to and in the door they
burst, with Mr.. Dog at their heels.
OF course, there was no dinner and
the party was spoiled, for everybody
ran, .and Mr.. Dog, not knowing which
one TO chaSe when he saw SO many,
went home without having caught any,
one.
The next day Mr.. Fox was talking
with his friend, Mr.. Coon. mo one

into such a fix but those Cottontails," I"
he said.
''In the first place their ears are so
short they never heard quickly like
some others of that family, and then
those tails-why, they can be seen for
yards and yards! I should have
known better than to have asked
them.
"And every one knows they have no
sense. The Cottontails run into the
first opening they see and never keep
on running as their cousins do. 1

THE Prophet Ezekiel mentions bar
J. bers-"Take thou barber's

is Of much later date. The barber in
medieval times was also surgeon,

was bleeding. he hung out his brass
bowl and a pole with n red stripe to
Indicate the bandage. Our modern

You may be sure that no one ate
any dinner that day. They all saved
their appetites for Mr.. Fox's night
time feast. for. as Mr.. Coon expressed
it, I'VE should be very ungrateful to
Mr.. Fox If we did not take to his din
ner our very best appetite; therefore,
our stomachs should be empty"
Mr.. Fox let them in one by one and
was careful to draw all the shades
and stuff the keyhole SO the light

happened that Mr.. Dog should be

ARRESTED
DEPUTY SHERIFFS TAKE A
STILL AT 112-ANOTHEK
AT MUD CREEK.

Deputy Sheriffs Hoel and Burdash
in company with local officers raid
ed the home of Jos. Rebec at Mile
112 Monday and found full
fiedged still in working order. In
addition to confscating the para
phernalia used in the manufacture of
illicit "mule" whiskey, l gallon OF
whiskey, quart of whiskcy, two
barrels of wine and three barrels of
mash for making whiskey were
taken.
Mrs. Rebec was home when the
raid was made while the husband was
taken by the officers at the Zenith
mine where was employed. Rebec
was taken to Duluth on the after
noon train.
Another still was captured by Dep
uty Hoel at Mud Creek and con-
siderable amount of contraband was
taken. 1t is the intention Of the
federal authorities to make spasmod-
ic raids among the residents Of the
range communities from now on. Re-
ports of private stilling plants have
been numerous recently and judging
by the amount of raisins brought to
the ranges last fall, it is the impress
sion that the reports were true.

NEED PLAYTIME.

Junior members of the local chap
ter of the American Red Cross have
been asked to assist in making toys
for children of Europe who are still
suffering from the effects of war.
According to the instructions sent
out by the Northern Division there
are great many children in the re-
construction areas of Europe which,
besides being retarded in their de-
velopment by the lack of proper nu-
triton during the war, find them
selves almost wholly neglected in the
struggle of their parents to provide
the bare necessities of life.
A particularly great need Of these
children has been shown to he toys
or other trinkets with which they
may be taught to play. For this
reason, the Red Cross has issued
Manual Training Leafiet No. Al to
instructors of manual training
throughout the division, in which
specifications for the making of
wooden toys are contained. Among
the articles to be made are several
kinds of railroad cars, an ironing
board, acrobats that actually per-
form, a cannon, the horse and rider,
boy, dancing figure, Dutch
woman and child, an American sol
der, stake driver and small cart,
together with several wooden ami
mails with moving legs.

growth and success-as well as the
settlement of all northern lands-we
may all hesitate before we lend any
aid towards such an enactment.
AS is generally known, the writer
supported, not only the tonnage tax
bill VETOED by Governor Johnson) !,
but likewise the eastman resolution,
above set forth, impressed, as he then
was, with the firm conviction that
there was neither development of the
iron manufacturing in Northern Min
nesota, nor an intention on the part
of those interested so to do, and be-
lieving that these interests were not,
at that time, bearing their just share
of the public burdens, but such action
on his part was coupled with no
thought of retarding the development
or doing any injustice to Northern
Minnesota.
There never has been any DISPOSE
ton on the part of the people of
Southern Minnesota to write upon
the statute book any law that would
retard or impede the development of,
or work an injustice to any part of
Northern Minnesota. 1t may be that
under present conditions it would
work great injustice and wrong and
materially affect the development of
Northern Minnesota to enact ton
mage tax law, and the write feels
that the subject is one that should be
considered deliberately by the COM
mercial clubs, farmers clubs aod Kin.
dred organi ;ations. which are SO po-
tent in rnoldins public opinion RICH,
on important subjects; and he will
have accomplished his full purpose,
if he succeeds in directing the at
tention Of these bodies and our people
to this subject matter, that there may
be proper consideration of it now,
free from any sectional feeling,
which should never exist in any state
when there is not danger that the
future best development of this great
state, as well as the subject of just
state taxation, will be made the foot
ball of partisan and sectional politics.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-01-09

of this great industry 1t must there
fore be ads.litted that so far as the
primary purpose of a tonnage tax
was the creation of the steel man.
ufacturing industry in Minnesota, it's
purpose has been accomplished and
such legislation is unnecessary for
that purpose.
The second object of the tonnage
tax (above mentioned) was to COM
pei the iron interests to pay their
fair share of the public burdens.
In support of the statement that
some of the members of the senate
at the 1909 session believed that
these iron interests were not paying
their just share of the tax there is
here quoted the resolution offered by
Senator eastman in the senate on
April %, 1909: Whereas the recent
consideration of the subject of tax
on iron ore properties warrant The
conclusion that the assessment on
iron ore property should be material
ly increased. Therefore, be it re-
solved by the senate, the house con-
curing, that the Minnesota tax COM
mission be. and they are hereby re-
quested to raise the assessment on
such iron ore land and properties to
at least the sum Of 100000, 1000"
| While this resolution was not adj
opted, heed seems to have been given
to the mandate thereof, for the Min
nesota tax commission proceeded to
and has evolved scientific method
of valuing iron ore property that i'm
mediately brought the assessments to
a far higher level, so that the state
tax revenue from the iron mines,
which in 1907 was. but 100000 will
next year reach the sum of at least
100000, and in addition thereto,
legislation has been provided in the
law classifying property for taxation,
under which iron ore property is as
sessed at SO per cent of it's actual
value, higher rate than any other
property of whatever kind.
. If the purpose of the tonnage tax
: were as above stated, two in number,
: (a) to induce the manufacture of
iron and steel in this state (b) to
! make the iron mines pay their just
: share of state taxes, it's opponents
' can well argue that these object:
have been accomplished and it's en-
r actment unnecessary.

e such law will strike severe blow
