TWENTY YEARS AGOI

The opening of the mining fields
of South Africa will likely induce
a great exodus of miners from the
copper district and iron ranges to
mining camps. When the mines in
South Africa were closed because
of the war, many men thrown out
of work found employment in the
Lake Superior copper and iron
mines, and they will return as soon
as the mines in South Africa re-
sumo operations. The Cornish min
ers of this district are the most
experienced in the country and in
great demand. A party of men
will be formed here in a short time
to return to South Africa.

From the last effusion in the
Cook Newsboy it is very evident
that the fellow who edits it can
not read and if he can read he
does not understand what he reads.
A plain statement of facts is dis
torted into a personal attack and
to make the thing more conclusive
he comes back with personalities
just as jackassy as the dope he has
been putting out during the prim-
airy campaign. Facts and figures
count. However, char ges are much
easier made by those whose train
ing runs to this method Of doing
business. What people want is
facts and not attacks on the per-
sonal affairs of candidates and their
supporters. Because an uncalled
for attack on county nurses and
some other county employees was
resented, this fellow wakes into
personalities and comes across with
something entirely foreign 20 the
matter under question.

cloth woven by human hands.
/ 1t is a living thing, Pulsing
