THINGS WORTH WHILE.

Complaint is frequently heard
from many sources that in the
demand for speed and quick re-
suits even the education of chill
dren is being more or less neg
lected, so far as thoroughness is
concerned. This blame, say those
who have studied the matter. is
not to be placed upon the school
itself but rather upon the people
who wish the school system to
carry burdens that properly be-
long upon the parents. The
schools can only train and char
acter must be built on the foun-
dation established within the
home.
Through a sudden shift of one
kind or another wealth may be
thrust suddenly into hands I'M
familiar with its handling. But
those who have not worked and
learned to handle money find
that having control of money in
wolves responsibilities and if
note is taken it will be found that
the vast majority of those who
have acquired even a comfort
able competence have secured it
through long and steady applica-
ton.
But as has long ago been re-
marked by noted sages, there is
no royal road to learning. Even
a genius, much as some dislike to
believe it, must work. No great
writing, no great picture, no
great work of art was dashed
off in a hurry" This same ap-
plies in great engineering and
building feats for behind each
wonderful structure, whether it
be a building or a bridge OF a
gigantic electric plant or piece of
railroad work is to be found
much toll and labor not to be OBJ
served in the finished product.
just as nature takes but a
short time to produce a pumpkin
but years to grow a forest giant,
Just so must man spend time,
energy, brains and labor i'm pro-
ducing something worth while.
1t is a matter over which some
persons might ponder for their
own benefit. knowledge is ac-
qumed slowly and so is about
everything else worth while, in
GLIDING experience.

THE FOURTH.

Times have changed some
what and those who are only
fairly well advanced in years OBJ
serve the difference in the Four
tn OF July celebrations each wear
1t was not so long ago when
mother wondered if Jack and
Susie would come home intact or
minus an eye, a finger OF two or
leg. Now she can permit them
to go to about any celebration in
any part of the community and
rest assured that if Jack escapes
a fight and Susie is nimble foot
ed enough to get out of the way
of autos they are due to come
home safe and sound with all the
various parts of their anatomy
where they belong.
Since the papers started to
publish detailed figures on Four
tn of July accidents there has
been a steady decline in that
form of woe. The treacherous
cannon, the giant cracker, the
toy pistol and the pestiferous
"nigger chaser" are either under
the ban OF handled in such a way
as to eliminate the danger for
small folks.
OF course the small children
rather resent this change. But
when all things are said and
done perhaps it is for the best.
The children may be minus some
excitement but mother has lost
a lot of her worries and dad is
relieved of considerable expense
so the price paid by the little
ones for the benefit mother gets
is not excessive.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-12-03

What's the use of few disgruntled
agitators and anarchists attempting to
array neighbor against neighbor and
making the claim that the country is
going Bolshevik? In this country a
man owns and enjoys his lands and
other belongings and he can be just
as wealthy and prosperous as his tai
ents and frugality will permit. In
Russia it is different The poor are
damned poor and have no chance.
There may be an excuse for being a
BOlshevik in Russia and wanting a
division of the property which is all
owned by few. Mill ions OF farmers
in the United States void be INSANE
to split up their belongings among
those who have not, through poor
management, excessive spending and
wastefulness, accumulated anything.
Look around you. Those who are
loud with their theories of soviet
government in this country are u.s.
ually found among the improvident.
After the agitator accumulates few
thousands from his dupes, he disap-
parse and fails to Bolshevik any more
Let those who like the soviet form of
government get out of here and re-
turn to their beloved Russia where
they can practice their theories to
their hearts content
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-12-03

Iron ore is mined and shipped to
the east at about $500 ton. The
cost of mining iron ore is expensive
considering royalty, taxes, labor, sup
plies, transportation and everything.
A ton of coal is mined in the east, let
us say, at the same figure it costs to
mine iron ore. Yet, coal sells here at
from SIT to $40 per ton. If ton OF
ore mined here sells at about SO a
ton in the east why does coal mined
in the east sell here for SIS or more
tom? Who gets the extra $lO,
and why?
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1920-12-03

Now that we are fast approaching
the Christmas season it is but fitting
to call the attention of Ely people
to the ACCESSIBILITY of making it just
as happy for those nearest home as
we possibly can. And in this respect
there are many ways of shedding sun
shine right around home that lot of
people seem to be unacquainted with.
Take the matter of the Christmas
present itself. Had you realized
that the Christmas gift bought rights
here at home brings out more happi-
ness than the one purchased in
distant city? The gift itself is just
as good if purchased here, and the
one who receives it will be just as well
pleased with it. But when it is a
gift bought here at home, the clerk
who sold it feels good, and the mer-
chant in whose store you purchased
it-and he is your neighbor-has an
additional cause for wishing you and
yours merry Christmas. From now
on until Christmas this paper will con-
tain announcements of those mer-
chants who are in position to sell you
Christmas goods that are just as
pretty, just as serviceable and just as
reasonably priced as you can get else
where. If the thing you want is not
in stock theyswill quickly get it for
you. So why rush to a distant city
and buy that which you can get at
home, and hand your money to some
one you will never see again and from
whom you couldn't get favor, no
matter how badly you might need it..
Think it over and then watch closely
the columns of this paper for the ads
of your neighbors- friends
and read those ads with profit to
yourself.

The Ark is still running to Europe
and several range residents will be
booked for passage according to spec
ial agents. A fellow named Muir
gich from Bull has been furnished
with non-return ticket to JugoSlavia
and another named Suhonen from
Duluth has transportation to Russia
with no return or stop-over privileges.
Some 500 are slated for overseas
trips in the United States and more
are being constantly added to the
list. What fine reception they can
anticipate over there and this coun-
try can also feel happy over the
benefits to be derived from a small
investment. Keep the good boats

The first permanent Atlantic cable
was laid in 1866. connecting Ireland
with Newfoundland. An earlier cable
between these points was lost In con-
struction, but was later recovered and
completed, In 1883 cable was laid
from France to Duxbury, Mass, and
In 1873 the fourth Atlantic cable con-
nected Ireland and Trinity bay, New
foundland. Several cables have been
subsequently laid and are still main

the inventor Of the cable. although he
had little to do with its mechanical
construction. To Cyrus W. Field goes
much Of the credit, for its construc-
ton was largely due to his foresight
and energy.
