Irregularities Mark
Spotted Stock Market.

NEW YORK, July ia. P.)-
Successive periods of strength, irregu-
larty and steadiness marked desultory
and professional operations in the
stock market Total sales Of about
$4,000 shares approximated the
smallest dealings of the year.
The highest level OF prices at the
outset was directly due to PRESS
| dent Harding's condemnation o:
the proposed tariff on oil imports.
Foreign oils. particularly Mexican and
Pan-American Petroleums and Gener-
al Asphalt, rose two to nearly five
points. -.
Such diversified issues as steels
equipments, shippings, textiles. tobac-
cos. feathers and chemicals, most OF
which are at premiums because of the
small floating supply, also made ex-
treme gains of one to three points.
Shorts stubbornly opposed the ad-
vance, however, and before the last
half of the session was we'll under
way, many reactions, occurred, al
though gains predominated at the dull
close. Notwithstanding the sudden rise
of call money.
Call loans opened at per cent In
contrast to yesterdays easier rate, but
belated borrowers were obliged to pay
1-2 per cent. Time rates were un-
changed for short matutities. 81

recent loss, but Scandinavian quota

appreciably and the tone was mixed
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and

BY Way of Making Our Streets More
Interesting.


A little walk along Main street to-
day gave US number of ideas which
may prove helpful to other pedestri-
ans. To-Ylt:
Ladies in opening parasols should
keep them level with the eyes Of 9TH
ers. Before furling, stick the parasol
straight out in front, thus enabling the
owner to do almost anything to any
body, without seeing what. until aft.
erwards.
Bevies of girls should walk abreast,
SO far as the width OF the sidewalk
permits, crowding the mere people"
into the street as much as possible.
This brings the girls to the notice OF
many who might not otherwise have
paid them any attention whatsoever.

Rabbit GETS BOOST.

The annual statistical number OF
the Iron Trade Review is out, an6
contains much of interest to loca'
readers. An article by A. ]. Hair
describes in some detail the work al
Rabbit being done by the East Mes
abb Iron Co., under the direction of
w. G. Swart. The writer states
that in all probability there will be
eventually established here a eplant
costing 100000, 100000, capable of
producing between 10000 and 49,
900 tons of concentrates daily. Some
history of the project is given and
the construction of the plant des-
cribed, with illustrations which are
familiar to some of our local men.
A second, article summarizes the
years work in all the iron fields of
the Lake Superior district. Illustra-
tons of several of the prominent
mines are given, among them being
a new photograph of the Zenith
mine, which it mentions as being
taken over by the Pickands, Mather
& Co. An excellent photograph of
the Hull-Rust, the monarch of the
ranges, is given. Approximately
100000 tons have been mined
from this property. The article
states the year was notable by the
number of labor saving devices in
stalled in many properties, and the
increase in the sizes of all equip
ment. Total shipments from all the
ranges are given as approximately
60,000,000 tons, large increase
over 1919. The ore reserves as of
May LIST, 1919 are given as1 ,330,51O,-
All tons for the three ranges Of Min
nesota.

GOOD RECORD MADE.

The Zenith mine this week dis
tributed Safety First" cigars to all
employees in recognition of it's fine
accident record for the month of Dec
ember. Out of $500 days worked
only four days disability occurred,
giving a disability percentage of
.065. This is splendid record
and shows that the Safety First
program instituted by the company
is bringing results.
The safety work of all the Pick
ands, Mather & Company mines of
Minnesota is under the direction of
George Martinson of Hibbing, the
the range safety inspector. This
year the Zenith mine is in COMPETE
ton with the company's large under
ground mines on the Mesaba, the
mine turning in the best accident re-
cord winning first place. The past
year, the employees of the winning
mine were all presented with watches.
Accident prevention is occupying
a prominent place in the activities of
all the Lake Superior district COM
panies, and Pickands, Mather &
Company is among the leaders in this
work. The employees of the Zenith
mine are realizing the Importance of
Safety First and are expecting to
maintain record like last month,
throughout the year.

MlNNESOTA'S LOW
EDUCATION RANK.
WE THOUGHT WE WERE OF THE
BEST AND FIND THE STATE
ONLY NINETEENTH IN EDUCA-
TIONAL EFFICIENCY? wow
(By Rep. R. W. Hitchcock

Will the soldier boy, in 1921 as in
1919, find the one house of the Min
nesota legislature the devil and the
other the deep sea and himself be-
tween them?
At the regular session of 1919 the
House pessed a bonus bill, but the
Senate let it die and had it not been
for the special session in September,
1919, no Minnesota soldier would
have had bonus to this day. On
the fourth day of the present ses-
sion the house again passed sold
ier's bonus bill-a bill to secure i'm
mediate payment of the bonus due
every soldier or sailor who served
from Minnesota. The senate finance
committee has been considering this
bill ever since. The house bill pro-
poses the issue of $3,000,000 addit-
ional in bonus certificates and the
increase of the rate of interest to
six per cent so as to make all certi-
Gates Immediately saleable. The SEN
ate committee is considering instead,
the immediate payment of all bonus
claims from revenue funds now in
the state treasury and the repayment
of these funds by an additional tax
levy of some $7,500'000 in 1922.
The thing that agitates the sold
Ter boy is this: Will the two houses
get into a jangle over this proposition
that will result in still further delay?
Some senate leaders declare that
an increase of the interest rate is
trucking to the bond companies of
the east and that Minnesota should
push these profiteers in the face by
using its own idle funds. Some house
leaders assert that draining the state
treasury to pay bonus claims will
greatly aggregate the financial strin-
gency that is already making life ex-
ceedingly hard for Minnesota banks
