TAG DAY FOR SUFFERING
= RUSSIA BRINGS $1,5o0.60

The tag day for suffering Russia
conducted by the local branch of
the Friends of Soviet Russia last
Saturday proved to be surprisingly
successful even to its friends and
supporters.
Collections for the day amounted
to S1,558.60. The only expense was
for printing tags. At least $1,000
has been sent to. the headquarters
office at New York.
Despite the fact that there was
considera BILE opposition to g. tag day
conducted by the, Friends of Soviet
Russia, merchants and hotel pro-
prietors permitted representatives to
canvass their esta blishments. A
number of volunteers came from
Superior to assist in the work.
Mr.. Georgian of Minneapolis, who
had charge of the work here, is
grateful to the people of Duluth and
Superior, and to. organized labor of
both cities for the fine assistance
and support they gave to him.

.PoLI1Ics, ISSUES And CANDIDATES

Four years ago Walter johnson
made a single-handed run for sher-
if AGAINST two strong men and he
came with Sc votes of landing the
nomination. Since then he has
made many new friends. Hundreds
Of people have sent him assurances
of their sympathy and support.
There is no question but that he will
be the nominee against Frank l..
Magic, the present incumbent.
Friends of Mr.. Magic long ago
recognized that Mr.. Johnson would
be strong candidate against the
present incumbent. They fear him
more than any other person that has
been mentioned for sheriff. They
would cut into Johnson's strength
at the primaries if they could. They
would encourage the candidacy OF
Frank Schultz, captain of detectives
at Duluth. who, like Johnson, is an
old stage employee. Schultz was APP
pointed on the police force in the
first. instance by Mayor Truelsen at
the request of union labor. The range
friends Of Mr.. Magic are not a bit
displeased over the rumor that A.
H. kleffman of Chisholm, a member
of4he Musicians union, is to file for
sheriff. That makes three union
labor men against Magic at the pri-
mar: election. That's not good pol
itics.
Can Haldcn Come Back?
Can Odin Halden come back ?
That is the:question asked by hum

for most people thought Mr.. Halden
was resting serenely at t. Paul as
one Of the state tax commissioners.
Walter Bergen. the present. in
cumbent, defeated Mr.. Halden four
years ago. Like many men in public
office he has made enemies because
he was unable to please everybody,
but he has also made many new
friends, and if the contest is to lie

RAINFALL 2.65 IN.
Streets Flooded in Places After the
DOwnpOur

The second hard rain within n
week fell here Saturday afternoon
and night. The precipitation was
2.65 inches, according to the report
or Il. A. Kaufman. local weather OBJ
server. This brought the total rain
fall last week up to 5.83 inches,
more than had been recorded over q
period of several months previous.
Leaves clogged the drains and the
water could not be carried off fast
enough to clear the streets but ut
several crossings formed small ponds
deep enough to stall one or two cars
which attempted to drive through.
People returning home on some
streets at 9 o'clock were obliged to
walk through the middle Of the street
as the water was running 80 deep
along the curbing that it was impos-
sible to reach the sidewalk without
wading through. The creek was
somewhat out of its banks Sunday
morning.
The heavy rains were general over
the state and in Wichita part of the
city was flooded from Chisolm creek.
The greatest area was inundated
there that has been under water at
any time since 1914.

HELD THIRD CLINIC
IN RED CROSS ROOM

The third free tuberculosis clinic
was held In the Red Cross rooms in
Abilene Sunday. Twenty were ex-
amined and several were turned
away for lack Of time. Although DIR.
Cox worked until 7:15 p. m. The
people Of Abilene and out In the
county are appreciating the value Of
having an expert examination. The
old idea that people do not want to
know II they have tuberculosis Is fast
melting away and people are seeking
knowledge In the matter. Nothing
can be conquered In the dark but
with the light Of knowledge much
can be done. The clinics held all over
Kansas are doing untold good. St0r-
les and letters from the greatful pat
tents truly prove the worth. So when
asked to buy Christmas seAls next |
month don't forget you will be help
ing to stamp out the disease that is
a community problem as well as a
personal one to many. OF the twen-
ty examined yesterday three were
returned and seventeen were not. OF
the seventeen cases examined seven
were active, one incipient, one a sus-
pect, one inactive and seven were
negative. In many cases who were
diagnosed negative the throat or
teeth were the cause of their trouble.

here with the clinic, leaves today

Laurids Bruun is evidently an
artist OF whom it would be worth
while to know more. This tragic
idyn is a little masterpiece, its color
and richly sensuous quality apparent
even through The diluting medium of
translation. AS TO that. il is mere
nearly possible TO translate from the
Scandinavian languages into English
without much loss than in the case
of any other group of tongues. Here
one feels sure Mr.. Pritchard has
done a good piece Of work.
The story has the effect Of being
a genuine reminiscence. an idealized
record OF experience, rather .than
merely fiction. We are tod that
Bruun has travelled extensively in
the Far East, and il may reasonably
be inferred that he is drawing his
romantic islands from some corr

brilliant and strikingly realistic PIC
