The millwork for this home costs

I'VE have been manufacturing mill
w work for over forty years and our
experience has taught us that the
home builder needed millwork that could be
ordered one day and delivered the next So
we are specializing in the manufacture of
only very high-grade stock millwork for
homes costing from $1,000 to $4,000.

He had learned that quite few fami-

This was made public by the Reuie7v

and something was done for some of
these families about Christmas time.
Many of them had hoped to find sup

built at the present time, but many
more applied for jobs than could be
taken on and some of the families are
in desperate need. Mayor Fritsche

MINING INDUSTRIES OPENING
UP IN THE COPPER
COUNTRY.
DEPRESSION SEEMS TO BE
PASSING. THOUSANDS
AGAIN EMPLOYED.

An interesting letter received this
week from Henry G. Nitz, a former
D. M. L. c.. boy who is located at
Globe, Arizona, tells Of the re-opening
of mining properties, indicating that
the wheels of business are beginning
to turn again and prospects are that
the. worst Of the dull times are over.
Henry says: Things are beginning
to boom again in the copper belt.
Since last April all the mines in the
Globe-Mia1ni District with the ex-
ception Of the Guggenheim interests
shut down. (Henry Ford might know
why they did not close down; no one
here seems to know A
"Jan.}20 the Old Dominion Mine in
Globe re-opened, which will mean en-
ployment for about thousand men.
The Inspiration Copper Co. in Miami
is said to be getting ready to reopen,
which means employment for another
1500-1600 men. The International
Smelter has blown in two of it's furn-
aces again. .,=a
District Once Deserted.
''Last summer people leaving the
district until the copper holiday should
be over were glad if they could get
some reliable person to live in their.
houses for nothing. My neighbor, who.
went to Los Angeles. during the de-
preston, has large two-story brick.
house, completely furnished, which he
offered to rent at seven dollars a,
month. After much inquiry he finally,
got tenant. .s

''But now that the people are be-
ginning to move back, it will soon be
difficult to get any kind of room. In!
fact it seems there are too many people
here right now. There are plenty Of
"muckers" here to do the dirty
work in the Slopes. What, the COM
panies do want, however, is expert.
labor: mechanics and the like. 1t is
feared that many laboring men will
come to the district and, not finding
work, will have to appeal to the coun-
ty for aid, as family with eight
children had to do just last week. ~

E 1t will be seen the coolest weather
IN November occurred during the
present season; but the coldest weather
during December was registered in
1920. 1918 holds the record for the
lowest temperature during the entire
three years, 26 below. The present
however, comes a close second with

present winter is the least pleasant

COLD CAUSES GAS
MAIN TO OPEN UP.
CRACK IN PIPE ALLOWS MUCH
GAS TO ESCAPE INTO
THE GROUND.
COMPANY LUCKILY LOCATES
TROUBLE BEFORE HEAVY
DAMAGE RESULTS.

Manager Kennedy of the. New Ulm
Gas Company thought his troubles
were over when the housewives of New
Ulm' stopped calling him up at nine
Wednesday morning telling him that
they had no gas to get breakfast with
but that was not the end by a good
4 deal because on Thursday morning the
gas pressure at TIE gas plant showed
something Of the same sort had hap
pened, and when on Friday morning
similar situation was Indicated, the gas
people decided that New Uhn house
wives were not doing all their house
work by night and using up the gas
but were convinced something was
really wrong. So,they began search
thru the alleys where the gas. mains
are laid, to find where the trouble
could be. An hour later they came to
a place where they could see that gas
was escaping thru the ground just be-
low the Loretto Hospital. They knew
then what the trouble was and decided
that it would be necessary at once to
take up the pipe and repair it.
Cold Causes Trouble.
They thought the work Of digging
could be done with pick and axe but
the ground was too hard and so they
put match to the escaping gas and
whooish! a fame shot clear across the
road. After letting it burn for an
hour the ground was warmed so they
could take up the broken pipe and re-,
place it so there is likely to be no
more trouble from that source right
away. The pipe had contracted from
the cold so that there was a large
opening from which the gas poured.
ri The local company has given very
good service to the patrons for the
seven years they have been here and
everyone is glad to know they had no
more trouble in locating the break and
getting it fixed than they did. '
Leaking for Some Time.
It is impossible to say how long the
-
break had. been there, or how much
loss had been, suffered by the gas
plant, but it might have resulted in
something much worse if it had not
been located in time. Someone had
given the men a pointer so that they,
ina way, knew where to look for the
4 trouble. They had been told that
4 there was smell Of gas which was
4 very strong just below the Hospital
and while they felt that it probably
was due to the sewerage at that point,
!. the suggestion was Of help to- them,
4 when they knew there was a leak. III
4 is not bad idea when anyone notices
something of the sort to take The
1 trouble and tell somebody about it fol
this may save considerable damage ane

ANNUAL sKAT TOURNAMENT.

-ft IAtNfs
Next Sunday, February 19, the sEat
uncles of the state will congregate in
the Deutsche Haus in st. Paul for the
annual skat tournament. Two ses-
sions will be held, the afternoon ses-
sion beginning at 2:30 and the eve
ming session at 1880.
Registration begins at IL O'clock in
the morning. The entrance fee, is
$1.50 and the annual dues are SO cents,
the same as heretofore. The entire
amount of the entrance money will be
distributed in prizes. One hundred
dollars in gold coin will be the first
prize and there will be twenty-nine adj
ditional cash prizes.
This is the first time that the skat
tournament has been held in the Deut-
5sche Haus. Because the building is
very spacious and has all theaccomoda-
tions required for a skat tournament,
it is believed that this annual tourna-
ment will be better attended than
previous ones. Refreshments and
supper will be served in the hall.
1t is not known just how many of
the, skat players Of the local league will
attend, but it is believed that at least
fifteen or twenty will take part in the
contest. Some Of the skat players,
who are also boWlers, will take advan-
| ltape of the onnnrtI1nitv tosattend both
the bowling tournament which is
held Friday and Saturday of this week
and take in the skat tournament on
Sunday.

BRAKEMAN NEARLY LOSES HIS

TRAINMAN'S LANTERN.

Arnold Loose, brakemaniof the night

western Railroad yards escaped in
Simultaneous death Saturday morning
shortly after o'clock in miraculous
manner when gasoline in one of the
oil anks car expl2d ded with terrible
din and threw him from the car to the
ground where he lay in assumed con-
dition for several minutes People
living on Broadway were awakened
y the noise of the explosion and Fred
Starr who lives on South Germanstreet
was also startled out Of sleep. He
said it sounded to him as though a
huge amount Cf snow was sli ding from
the Roof.
Investigation Dangerous.
The tank in question had been un-
loaded the day previous in 0 he Cedar
Rapids oil station opposite the freight
depot. Brakeman Loose while walk
ing throught the yards saw this, parti-
cular car and after rapping on it was
not positive whether the car had. been
completely emptied and he climbed
up on it for the purpose Of making in
vestigation. He opened the lid on the
dome which is about "a inches in dia-
meter and peered into the opening,
holding the lantern which he carried
with him away from the opening so as
to eliminate any danger of explosion.
Evidently he did not keep the lantern
far enough away from the opening for
the next moment there was a terrific
explosion, louder than the roar from
a Big Bertha and the flames shot up
twenty to thirty feet into the air.
Mr. Loose was thrown from the car
and landed on the ground with his
face down. His face was badly burned
and his hair singed but his clothing
was fortunately not ignited.
| Members Of the switching crew i'm
mediately rushed to his assistance and
telephoned to DR.. Strickler, surgeon
of the company, who arrived on the
scene shortly afterward DIS and had the
injured man taken to the Union hos
pital where he is now receiving treat
ment
| Injuries Not Serious.
According to the attending. physi-
clan, Mr.. Loose will be incapacitated
for work for at least three weeks. For
time it was feared that his eye sight
had been injured but it is now conf
IDENTIFY believed that it will not be
affected. He was also bruised in
falling from the car but these injuries
are not serious.
Friends Of Mr.. Loose are glad to
know that he is not going to be per-
manently injured on account of the
explosion. and hope he will soon be
able to resume work.

THE IDEAL CITIZEN

An ideal citizen is the one who
sees clearly and ever something
good in the city and never loses the
opportunity to spread that good
news abroad that others might de-
rive the benefits therefrom, whose
unselfishness prompts him to want
others to share opportunities, health
and pleasure which his home city
offers.
Loyalty is the first requisite for
the ideal citizen. The love for the
place and his neighbors which dis
misses the thought of self interest or
policy and resolves itself into the
knowledge of duty when he does all
in his power to make the city a bet
ter place in which to live.
There are three distinct attitudes
which a citizen may assume toward
the place in which he lives, which
furnishes him food, shelter and asso-
citation for himself and family, to
boost, to remain quiet or to-knock.
The booster is that ideal citizen VINO
is never forgetful of the obligation
which is due the home city. He is
ever found at the front when any
movement is launched which might
tend to the advancement of the inter-
est of the city. While others see
darkly, to him good is visible at all
times. The quiet citizen is satisfied
to let the neighbor do the work and
content to lull the city asleep and let
it rest. The knocker is the man who
is without country. There is no
room for him anywhere, his presence
dampens- the enthusiasm of every
man or group Of men who unfortun-
ately come in contact with him.
Having no faith in, his own ability
to go forward, he naturally lacks
faith in his home city to do So
You have the chance to belong to
either of the three classes. If you are
a booster, your neighbor knows it
we'll and will boost you. If you are
with the quiet class, you will
not be regarded one way or the other,
for. the man who selects to steer in
the middle of the stream, gets no
support from either side. If unfor-
tunately you are knocker, get ready
to be knocked, for eventually it is
coming to you. AS you give, so will
it be meted out to you.
Paris would be an ideal city if only
there were more ideal citizens. Let's
have them.

Kentucky industries probably

The Eastern Kentucky field, COM
