We no doubt, each of u.s. look at this day.
light saving plan from our own individual
standpoint and Judge of it from the viewpoint
of our own interests. But what can anyone see
in it that is against it is something strange APP
parently it has everything for it and really
nothing against it. 1t surely is the thing> for
the good old summer time after winters hi
bernation in overheated rooms. It may have
it's objections to same, but we believe that the
vast majority of us will be benefited by the
daylight saving plan rather than injured by it.
Let's try it again in Ely this year and if too
many of us die over it-why, repeal it again

DO WE OWE EUROPE MONEY!

Europe owes the United States ten billions
of dollars, to which is to be added billion and
half dollars interest. On top of this comes the
advice of certain American fnanciers and
lion dollars more, "to rehabiltate them,' and
to keep them from starving.
The total debt of the United States when
we entered the war was less than one billion
dollars. The liquidation of thirty-two billion
dollars, upon which interest charges must be
paid, within a period of twenty-five years, is
the practical problem to which the country
financial minds are now being bent.
The extravaganza of Goal Oil Johnny
and the recklessness with his money of the
famed Drunken Sailor" are comparable to the
open-handed munificence of Uncle Sam in his
role of stage-manager to the whole world, and
"angel' for all the actors
In consequence, with every means of tax
alton and revenue now in force being utilized,
June 30, 1921, of approximately six billion dol
lars ,
The ultimate reasoning is that values in
this country have permanently increased The
profteers may be swatted, and in many in
stances there should be a stabilizing of prices.
But just the same this nation has passed onto a
different basis than heretofore; and neither a
ajority. of things that have to be paid for in
dollars and cents by American men and women
can possibly be much cheaper than they are at
present.
Of course incomes have greatly increased,
but the process of getting and spending" has
been compared by someone to the case of the
cat chasing its own tail.
So far as dollars and cents are concerned
Europe might consider that this country is al
ready in rather bad with its own banker. And
from most of that proposed ten billions they
might accept "beg to be excused"

Our sister on the North-Canada, is be-
ginning to talk little regarding reciprocity
with the U. S. along many lines. We offered
them reciprocity once some time since and they
turned us down. Reciprocity will be a good
thing for both countries Let us hope that in
time the line fence between the two of us will
fade to mere shadow and there will be hands
from both sides of it reaching across for a
brotherly shake. Since the war, Canucks and
Yanks have looked differently to each other.
And now it is up to the Canadians to offer the
reciprocity olive branch to the Yank

The school of education for the DOWNSTAIRS
relative to the tonnage tax, is now on and seems
to be we'll organized. Speakers should now in
wade the south half of the state and show to all
those who will listen, that the tonnage tax will
not react only on the North half of the state,
and the mining companies in particular, but
upon themselves as we'll. 1t means a drag on
the whole state and all it's industries from farm
ing to mining. 1t is another tax on industry in
which all must contribute to it. We have gotten
along so far without it and have done very
nicely at that, so why not settle the fool thing
now and forever? Let's help to build up more
big industries for the state rather than to get
the gun and take pot shot at that good old
goose that once upon time laid that wonder
|fu egg. Let's meet the big things with band
(Jazz) rather than to go out with club and
scare them off. The salvaging of our low
grade ores is now possibility. Some more big
business for Minnesota. With the benefits to
laccrue from that we could almost afford to
Iforego any taxes on that infant industry for five
years. Minnesota is forever, not for a day.
Let's forget this heritage business on iron ore
alone and pull our coats for still greater de-
Ivelopment along that line and Minnesota
will become state to come TO and not
one to get OUT of. Be fair, gentlemen, and
have look longer, and farther away than the
end of your own noses. IL .~

The Allies have at last asked for Bills hide.
If Bill was real honest-to-goodness old Mon
arch he'd crank up his car and start for the AL
lied headquarters himself. A Kentucky moon
sinner does that much when caught with the
goods as Bill has been caught. However, it
makes no difference whether Bill is in court or
not. He can be tried and sentenced and then
left to his own conscience. This would no
doubt be done if the world at large believed that
he had conscience. But the machinery is now
working in his behalf and by now Bill should be
hunting for his prayerbook and packing his
asbestos suit.

Just why is newspaper printed in the
United States in a foreign language? These
aliens must think that they are the whole host
instead of our guests. What right have they
here until they earn such rights? Who are
they to tell us Americans what to do and how to
do it and in a foreign tongue? Make them
change their type and print newspapers in the
good old American tongue. Give an alien a
year after arrival to learn to talk and read our
language and to become a citizen with us and
then if he fails in this ask him pointedly whynll
he is here Let's not stand for any more of this
thirty year stuff as we did in Goldman, Berk-
man, ct al. before we send them home.

Right now is the time for the movie censor
to get busy and cut out all this brass rail stuff
'champaganee' water dinners, and
all such obsolete matters. Why have this con-
tnually rubbed in on us when we are trying to
conform to the new law and get used to the
less than one half of one per cent stuff. Cut
it out of the film. Let the good old days rest.
They are said to be by us now forever and the
movies of them should have the shears used.
Stick to the ten minute kiss and the twenty min
ute hug until some law comes along to make us
quit that. But give us a rest on the brass rail
stuff in the movies.

1t would seem that with the present prices
of eggs staring us in the face that there would
be stampede for a couple of hens and crack
err box for a nest The old hen is, however, a
"a queer "critter."' For some she makes them
rich, while others, and these are in the large
majority-go broke in trying to make her come
across with the nuggets. We wish we had the
have been sailed down in this way. Twelve
hens-12 eggs-$1.1O per day. A hundred
hens, hundred eggs-but today the hens are
over the alley fence waiting for the garbage
man to come along in the spring and get them.
From our vast and varied experience in hens,
learned while watching the other fellow put
them over the alley fence, we have come to the
conclusion that hens can be made to pay; but
they must be made solemn study and must
have a real liking for the work. Haphazard
methods will not CO. Success with hens re-
quires good care of them, knowledge of their
wants and few poultry bulletins from the Gov
eminent, which they will furnish free upon ap-
plication. There is field anywhere in this
line of work and with the present prices for both
poultry and eggs, it is wonder that more are
not engaged in the industry

1t sure is lucky for us of the proletariate
class at least that the war did not continue on
another week or ten days. Prices then would
have been entirely prohibitive and we in the
above class would all have starved to death.
We are certainly getting out of it lucky at that.
Even the price of posthoes has trebled. Another
day or two more of war and the hole in a dough-
nut would have been unpurchasable by many
of us.

and were wandering from day to day. Sign it

busy and do something with the Treaty or give
