WARREN HOMES ARE
ENTERED BY THIEF
SuppOsitiOn Is That Some Person Has
Entered Numerous Residences
Lately. 49,.

a trail of burnt matches in each of
the houses entered are the only clues
which might lead to the identity of the
person who has entered number of
Warren homes during the past two
weeks and taken articles of value and
money: Reports from all of the homes
entered indicate that the invader waits
until the owners have left the house
and then rummages through cupboards'
and drawers i'll a very effectual manner
although so far no great loss has been
reported by those whose houses have
been entered
The home of G.. j.. Spaulding was en-
tered last Wednesday night while Mr..
and Mrs. Spaulding were attending the
American Legion play at the Strand
Mr.. Spaulding reported the loss Of a
gold pencil and his wife pocket book
containing between $40 and $15. Other
wise nothing was missing although
bureau drawers We're pulled out and
other furniture disarranged. In most
Of the houses entered there were burnt
matches scattered about the floor.
. The bone of a. F E1,o1nas 4Wa,4.e.l-.
tered the following night while Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas We're attending the Legion
show. Nothing OF value was taken so
far as could be ascertained but on the
floor were large number Of burnt
matches. Several other homes have
been entered, presumably by the same
person, during the past two weeks. It
is reported that the Fritz Larson home
was entered the Henry Anderson home
and the home of John Black. es&
| There are conflicting reports concern
ing the individual who has been enter
| ing the various homes but one of the
strongest is that they have all been en-
tered by the same person and that that
person. is woman. Nothing definite
| has been found to sustain this theory
! except the facl that tracks discovered
! on one Of the back porch steps would
indicate that they had been made by q
| woman as they appeared too small to
have been made by mems shoes.

IRON Ore TAX
Law PASSED
Senator Keynes Voted Against Mea,
h sure.-GOvernOr Prels Has
Signed the Bill.

After having been an issue in many
political campaigns in this state and
twice passed in legislative sessions but
vetoed by the governors then in power,
namely johnson and Burnquist, an iron
ore tax taxation law has at last been
passed by the legislature now in SEES
sion and has also received the COVER
nOrs signature, making it the law Of
the state.
Tie bill passed in the senate by a
vote OF IS to q. Senator N. s. Hegness,
of Marshall county, who voted for an
iron ore tax law in 1919, voted against
the measure this time. The house had
previously passed the bill by large
vote. =
AS passed and signed by the governor
the bill imposes tax Of 6 per cent on
net income from iron mining, termed
an ''occupat ionar' tax on the business.
The net income is figured by deducting
labor and transportation costs, royal
ties, etc, but not certain overhead ex-
penseS. ~
One of the main objections raised
against the bill as passed was that it
is an occupation tax levied on the
mining business Some legislators ex-
pressed fear that it might be an enter
ing wedge for taxing many other occu-
pations in which the people of the
state are engaged. This contention the
friends of the bill claim to be far
fetched and not at all likely to take
place. The iron range district has
fought strenuously any and every at
tempt to impose a tonnage tax, while
other parts Of the state, especially the
southern and agricultural sections
have favored the tax, believing that the
state as a whole should benefit from
the wealth that nature has stored uI
in tho bosom Of the earth. The last
republican state convention declared ii
| favor Of a fair and equitable tonnage
tax and it was one Of the big issues OF
the campaign,

BASEBALL TEAM
ASSURED WARREN
Money Already Subscribed By Local
Business Men Will Put Nine
In Field.

The Warren post of the American
] Legion is willing to take over the man
agement and to conduct the destinies
of the Warren baseball club this seq
son, 1t was decided at a meeting of the
Legion last evening in the Commercial
club rooms. With this end in view
committee OF three men was appoint
ed by the post commander to secure as
soon as possible capable manager for
the team.
Subscriptions for the support of
Warren baseball team to the amount of
$72O have already been pledged, accord
ing to the report of the two men, one
representing the Legion and one the
Commercial club, who last week sought
support from the business men of the
town for the financing of a team With
this amount subscribed and assurances
that enough more in subscriptions is
available to swell the amount to $500,
the appearance of baseball team rep
resenting Warren III the field this sum-
mer is assured.
It was also decided at the meeting
that the commander Of the post should
select two captains, one from the east
side Of the city and one from the west
side, to form teams to represent each
side in game to be played a week
from next Friday. There was some
talk of staging the game next Friday
but that time was felt to be little
early in the season for competition as
there has been so little time for actual
practice by the prospective ball play
erS. ft&
The matter Of whether or not the
Legion post should take it upon itself
to sell the tickets and realize the profits,
if there were any Forthcoming, for the
| two community lectures to be given the
early part Of May in Warren, was taken
up and discussed at the meeting. Ow
! ing to the fact that the Legion has so
recently promoted several affairs which
| necessitated the sale Of tickets it was
felt that this would be an imQpportune
project on their part. A resolution was
passed in favor of not accepting this
well meant offer of the Commercial
club and suggesting that the Communi-
ty Girls club be approached on the SUBJ
ject relative to their taking it under
the same conditions it was offered to
the Legion. A committee Of two was
/ appointed to inform the Commercial
E, club of This decision.

and showed that the Legion had real

project had been a financial success

LEGION C0MEDiT.es.
SCORES TRIUMPH
Local Players Show Exceptional Abili-
ty To Stage Musical Comedy
Production.

Warren theatrical talent scored dis
tiuct triumph two nights last week in
the presentation of Honeymoon Town,
a musical comedy Of UNUSUAL merit, IN
der the direction of Boyd b. Trousdale
and his assistant, Jerry Houck. The
play was put on at the Strand theater
on Wednesday and Thursday nights be-
fore good houses.
Mrs. A. r. Hatfield, in the leading
role Of Mrs. Jack Dunbar, had an ex-
tremely difficult part which she hand
led with exceptional talent and in a
way that pleased the audience on both
evenings, although her second appear
ance was considerably strengthened by
the initial performance.
To Leila Satire, Mrs. H. M. Blegen.
Irene Olson and Arthur Melgard, r..
due, to a large extent, the success OF
the play, in the commendable way in
which they handled the supporting
parts. Mrs. Blegen took the part OF
Mrs. John Jones in charming and
delightful manner, provoking many a
laugh from the audience. She present
ed keen wit and proved to be some
what Of a f1irt when out in society.
Leila Satire sang exceptionally well,
and took the part Of the younger SIS
ter in love, with an ease beyond her
years Arthur Melgard as Greyson, is
to be commended on the way he hand
led his part throughout. Irene Olson
as Mrs. Frank Kimball, showed herself
to be very good victim Of circum-
stances and carried her position along
in very pleasing manner. Alvin Ny
land showed rare ability to handle
his part as Alice's lover and left no
doubt but that he actually wanted to
be married. r. w. TOllefson could not
have improved upon his part OF being
handled rough to an alarming degree.
Too much cannot be said in favor of
the chorus and the excellence with
which they presented their various
numbers. Hold Me" as presented by
Mrs. Dunbar and chorus was easily the
musical hit Of the evening. Through
out the chorus worked in good form
and to it a large share of the two sue
cessful performances are due.

COUNTY GIRLS URGED
TO TAKE UP NURSING
Shortage of Nurses Throughout Coun-
try As Well AS In State OF
Minnesota.

There is an opportunity for many
Marshall county girls to become nurses
and eventually take up public health
work at good salaries, according to Miss
Loretto G. Newman. executive secre-
tary Of the Marshall County Child Wei
fare board, who says that there is a
present shortage Of registered nurses
for that work. According to Miss New
man, girl does not necessarily have
to be a high school graduate TO take up
the work although it is of some advan-
tage to have graduated. A public
health nurse must be the graduate of
SO bed hospital and have had three
years training. In the state of Mime
sofa such nurse receives the degree
Of registered nurse.
Any girl may obtain this degree and
pleasant work by completing two years
training in smaller hospital and then
taking third year of work in Il large
hospital or all three years Of work in
a large hospital. The salaries paid for
the~wOrk to start with range from 1928
to $3.50 per month throughout the coun-
try Just, now there seems to he a big
shortage of nurses qualified for the
work in comparison with the demand
and it is practically assured that girls
taking up the work will always find
available positions.

Time to Clean Up

It has been the custom since man
kind discarded the cave for various

the exception of few coal boats to

there will be little lake travel since
the demand for ore is expected to
make 50 per cent decrease in
shipments over last season.
The ice in the bay continues to
be from 10 to IS inches thick and
it will probably be well towards the
last of April before it will be driven
out into the open lake where there
is very little ice, according to gov
