Community Christmas.

The Community Christmas pro-
gram at the Auditorium Wednes-
day evening met with general fav-
or and the spacious room was filled
to the doors early in the evening.
The program opened with selections
by the Presbyterian Church Orches-
ira after which the mixed choir
composed of singers of the M. E.,
Presbyterian, Catholic, Swedish and
Finnish churches, rendered several
Christmas anthems and songs. The
audience also joined with the
choirs in a Community sing. The
playlet, empty Christmas Stocking
Elf",, was given most admirably
and a motion picture featuring
Marguerite Clark in "Snow White"
was most rapturously received by
the audience. Candy was distribut-
ed among those present and the at
tendance can be- guaged when it is
stated that 1900 candy canes were
given out and many there were
who were forced to go away empty
handed The distribution was made
by the Rotarians and the Boys
Club, the candy having been fur
fished by the Community Center
assisted by the City Council and
the School Board. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that there was not enough
to go around but as is usual in
such cases some. got more than
their share. A large number of
these "grab" artists are known and
from now on will be watched and
treated accordingly.

$1,000 certificate.
''T he certificates mature five
years from the date of issue in
each case, instead of at a uniform
maturity date and if held to matur-
ity yield interest at the rate of
about Az 20 per annum compound
ed semi annually. The certificates
are redeemable before maturity at
the redemption values stated on
the backs of the certificates, upon
Treasury Department, Washington,
and in that event yield interest at
the rate of about 8 " per cent per
annum compounded semi-annually.
The $25 certificate bears the por-
trait head of Theodore Roosevelt
the 500 certificate that of Wash
ington, and the $1,000 certificate
that of Lincoln. The new certif-
Gates are issued only in registered
form, in order to afford protection
against loss and theft, and will be
recorded on the books of the
Treasury Department in Washing
ton. The name and address of the
owner and the date of issue will
be inscribed on each certificate by
the issuing agent at the time of
issue. The terms of the certifi-
Gates have been much simplified as
compared with previous issues and
the offering is on a basis which
should prove particularly attractive
to small investors.
THE limit of holdings has been
increased by the Act of Congress
approved November 23rd, 1921
from $1,000 to $4,000 and it is
now possible therefore to hold
Treasury WAR Savings Certif-
Gates of any one series up to an
aggregate maturity value not ex-
ceeding $4,000. This change makes
the certificates attractive for the
investment of trust funds and the
surplus funds of labor, fraternal,
church and similar organizations
which seek an investment of inter-
mediate length with absolute safe
ty and satisfactory income re-
turn.
"The new certificates are on sale
at about 1000 post Offices through
out the country beginning Deem
Der Is, 1921 and may also be OBJ
tanned at the Federal Reserve
Banks and such banks and other
agencies as may qualify for the
purpose.
Treasury Savings Stamps in the
81 denomination, non-interest bear
ing, will continue on sale at post
offices and other agencies until fur
Their notice as convenience to
those who wish to accumulate the
purchase price of the new certifi-
Gates through stamps.-A. w. MEL

Babbitt In It.

One feature of the recent merg-
err of independent mining compan-
les which will be of particular in
terest to the range is the fact that
one of, the companies figuring in
the merger has an extensive inter
est in the Mesaba Iron Co., which
is developing the Rabbit PROPOSE
ton says the iron Trade Review.
/ 1t is. certain that a practically
unlimited supply of ore will be
available to the new steel corpora
ton. If the plan for concentrat-
ing the magnetities of the eastern
Mesaba range, works out as contem-
plated. u
There will be new incentive to
make. d success of this operation,
local, independent mining men claim
and if this is used only as collorar-
~ of the new Organization, won
derful contribution will be made to
the steel industry on the range.
The new independent steel cor
poration which takes in many
mines on the range, will be well
coined by the owners of the small
er properties operating here.
~ The investigation undertaken by
the new steel companies with a
view to disclosing the full extent
of..:theirs ore holdings, either direct
or through their interests in ore
companies, probably will reveal that
the steel companies have not over
one-fouth the amount of reserves
of the steel corporation.
: Their combined pig iron and in
got capacity will be approximately
.ene-half that of the corporation.
The corporation reserves in the
Lake 2 Superior district are estimat-
ed to be 100000 tons, while
those of the independent companies
involved in. the merger negotia-
tions,, in round numbers, are $780,
100000 tons. This includes their
mines and their proportionate part
of the mines held by companies in
which they havesafi interest.
