< On another occasion, while waiting
for a second load, the thrifty woman
Of the house came out and commanded
Billy and a companion to clean the
lawn Of lot of litter that sadly i'm
paired its appearance.
"We are carrying coal, not cleaning
up the public's lawns" Billy Buffe,
told the woman.
The husband Of that woman once
skinned the public with a copper stock
that never came true, thereby making
a lot of money, but leaving a big bunch
Of mourners. Naturally, the woman
may have acquired the notion that the
world is an oyster to be opened 70,
her special, personal benefit.
But Billy Buffer has found some
real women as well as good many
cats and swapping turtles. Out on East
Superior street, while waiting in the
basement for second load of Goa
which he was to carry in, the good
lady of the house asked him inside
thinking it was too cold outside.
"The basement is warm enough fol-
me, thank you," replied Billy Buffer
The good lady Samaritan was not sat
isfied with that, therefore she brought
down a cup of hot coffee to the hon
est toiler who was unloading coal into
her basement.
On another occasion, Billy Buffer
was waiting for a second load at the
very largest and most grandly fur
nished residence of all the many al
which he has unloaded coal. The granG
lady Of that mansion not only urged
Billy to use the telephone but, wher
he expressed fear that he would track
up her highly polished floors, she in
formed him that any tracking easily
could be wiped up. She not only made
Billy feel free to use the telephone, but
she brought out expensive and very
fragrant cigars for him and his com
panions.
Incidentally, the Rip-saw believe.
that some of these cases call for &C

ed his dossier. The delegation pointed
out the bright prospects for a heavy
increase in enrolment next year. They
asked the board to prepare for the in
evitable and, above all else, expressed
desire for suitable assembly room.
Many pupils come from some dis
lance and bring lunches, which many
of them are compelled to eat in the
halls, owing to their dismissal at noon
before the upper classes.
The Duluth Heights brass band was
given the Lowell school for band prac-
tice on every Friday night.
Bricklayers' International Union No.
3 informed the board of education that,
after January l, 1920, the local scale
will be $1.25 an hour.
Owing to necessity of shoveling snow
and carrying drinking water several
blocks, Mrs. Ed. Smith, janitress Of the
Smithville school, asked that her salary
be raised from 500 to $25 month. The
matter was referred to the proper COM
mittee with power to act.
Broken Castiron Boilers.
Information was given to the effect
that leaf or two in the castiron, low
pressure boilers at the Grant school
had broken in some mysterious way
and that any solution Of the case, so
far, was based on supposition rather
than actual knowledge.
Director Colman pricked up his ears.
He remembered that Messrs. Croft &
Boerner were the architects for the
Grant school. Messrs. Croft & Boerner
ever have been persona non grata to
director Colman. He opposed their en-
ployment in the first place and, at
present, is credited with having some
architectural friends whom he would
like to put in the place now held by
the boards official architects.
Mr.. Colman wanted to know by
whom and why those new-fangled boil
ers were installed.
Architect Boerner replied that they
were put in at the suggestion and ad-
vice Of Dean Allen, Of the state uni
versity, national authority on heating
apparatus.
1t was reported that two half Sec
tions of the boiler had cracked, from
some cause not yet fully explained. 1t
was supposed to be due to the effect
Of an unduly high water line and that
high water line is alleged to be due
to the arbitrary demands of insurance
underwriters. Efforts are being made
to have that requirement modified so
that a normal and proper water line
can be maintained in the boilers.
Guaranteed Low Pressure System.
By putting in these boilers, a low
pressure system was possible, thereby
eliminating one high-priced employe.
The U. s. Steam Radiator Company
was given the contract only after a
guarantee was made that the boilers
would work perfectly, otherwise they
would be removed entirely at the ex-
pense of the company.
Mr.. Colman made no remarks after
the quite complete explanations but he
seemed to keep up deep thinking on
the matter.
In compliance with the report Of the
committee on schools, teachers as fol
lows were elected, viz:

Billv Buffer was a resident Of the
binterland when he donned Uncle
Sans uniform and did his part as an
enlisted man in the World War. When
his bit was finished he came to Du-
lnth and set about to make a living
for himself and family as well as put
aside something for that rainy day.
After getting into state of readjust-
ment, the former service man found
himself making good wages at carrying
coal from the trucks Of the coal mer-
chants to the Easements and bins of
the consumers As result of fall
and winter at that necessary but rath-
er grimy work, Billy Buffer is com
pelled to revise some of his rural opin-
ion of human nature.
After carrying in and storing away
q couple of tons of coal at an East
End residence, the former service man
found himself rather warmed up and
with entirely too much coal dust in
his throat.
Going to the kitchen door Of the
rather imposing East End residence,
Billy Buffer knocked and the elegant
lady of the house happened to answer
his tap at the rear portal.
~ would like to get drink of wa.
ter" very politely asked the coal car
rier as he touched his cap in salute.
"We pay for our water!" snapped
the prominent society dame.
ga year ago, I was in the army
and I am glad that served my coun'
trv 80 as to make it safe for people
like you to live in," remarked Billy
Buffer; but before he could 60 further
in his little speech, the snippy-snappy
madam slammed the door in his grimy
face.
Another woman refused to let the
loaded coal truck 60 across vacant
lot that she owned, although the lot
would not have been injured in any
way. Her objections were based on
,elfishness and common cussedness. A
LADY living nearby told the coal car
rier that her neighbor also had denied
her young son the right to cross thai
precious lot on his skis.
At the home of another East END
society woman, Billy Buffer wanted te
report for instructions to the coal OF

"No," was the unexpected reply

situations made against this board, "
enthusiastically said the Benedict Ar
mold of the bunch.
Proved refused to be scared and
Schaibly subsidized. No Knights OF the
Tar Bucket were at hand, therefore the
West End Wesley smoothed down his
feathers.
After the calling and election OF
Kremer J. Hoke was made sure, dlrec'
tor Colman lifted up his tenor voice
and called attention to the desperate
condition of the school treasury. he
really showed alarm and other members
of the board ceased lauding the Hok'
ian misfit long enough to admit that
the situation was desperate and that
something quick, radical and decisive
seemed imperative.
The tax rate is the highest in the
history of the schools, being about dou'
BILE of WHAT it was few short years
ago. The budgets are rapidly being
depleted and there will not be money
to finish the year unless there be re:
trenchment, pruning, economy ano
clever handling of finances In every
direction.
Reaping the Whirlwind.
In humoring Madam Davis by giving
her Hokian protege carte blanche FOL
three long, weary, wasteful years, auto
cratic and complacent members OF the
board of education have a fine harvest
of whirlwind, ready for the reaping, as
a result of their windy and wasteful
sowing.
"we have got to cut to the bone, u
Mr.. Colman declared. "Repairs that
are not absolutely necessary to keep
the schools open must not be consld'
cred. Supplies in excess OF what are
actually needed for immediate use
must not be purchased. The finances
of the schools are in most critical con-
dition and to continue overdrawine
our funds will put US in a bad fix"
There was some worried discussion
over the situation and it was decided
to shorten sail as quickly and as closely
as possible. Many taxpayer feels
that this spasm will last only until
Supt. Hoke, who never had anything
of his own until he came to Duluth
therefore greatly enjoys scattering
around what belongs to others, sees
something new, shiny or novel, when
director LIE Due will hammer through
a resolution to buy it, "because Doctor
Hoke desires it.
All Members Were Present.
There was full attendance of the
members of the board, but the attrac
tions of Palm Beach and Pasadena
probably will prevent such a condition
again for goodly number Of meetings
to come.
The session opened with short yer
bal report on recreational work by j
R. Bachelor. Appreciation and ap
proval were expressed by the board.
There was an imposing delegation OF
school patrons from Duluth Heights
Crowded conditions in the Lowell schoo
were pointed out. At present, eight
teachers and 236 pupils are enrolled al

PadiIIa Accepts Challenge of

The Duke City Grays have al
ready played the Las Vegas base
ball team, says Manager Dan Pa
dilla of the Grays, It has played
them under another name, but 1t
will play them again for all the
gate receipts and a $500 side pct,
he says in answer to challenge OF
the Charles Ilfeld team of Vegas.

played the best team that Las
Vegas has. been able to gather up
this year" Padilla asserts. "There
were included in their lineup mem
bers of the Charles HELD team as
well as the best players of the rail-
road team, and we beat them here
with score of IL to 6.
"The pitcher who pitched against
the Grays was knocked out of the
box in the sixth inning, We do
not consider that the Vegas team
has any claim to state champion
ship, and if the Grays did beat
them they would not be the state
champions. The Gibson and Belen
teams are the only teams beating
the Grays this year.
The Grays' manager stated that
the understanding should be that
each team was to pay it's own ex-
penses and was to use its own play
ers only, men who have played
with the team for the last thirty
days, and not players recruited
from another team for the occa-
sion. The Grays would play either
here or at Las Vegas, he stated.
