THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
PARENTS FORGET

THERE is a rule of good form that
L tells us that we should never re-
prove a servant or other employee In
the presence of outsiders. A waitress
perhaps breaks q dish at dinner and
the confused hostess exclaims hastily
that she should not be so awkward OF
chat she has been very careless. Now,
the perfectly well-bred hostess does not
do this. She does her best at the time
to draw her guests attention from the
mishap and, If she feels that any re-
proof is necessary, she waits until she
is alone with the servant.
Now, If we are as considerate as
this to servants, ought we not to be as
considerate to our children? Yet,
truly, I know plenty of persons who
would not think Of reproving servants
in my presence, especially nowadays,
when servants are so independent and
hard to get, who would not think it
anything amiss to scold their children
in my presence.
Sometimes the scolding is delivered
in a half-teasing, jest1ng manner.
"John, will you be careful?" exclaims
the mother to her ten~year-old son,
when he Is trying to bring her some
article that she has sent for. "You are
the most awkward creature in the
world. Your feet are so big it's no
wonder you trip over them" And then,
to her guest: "Just imagine, John
wears shoes that are larger than mine
already. I suppose he is going to have
enormous feet like his father"
1t may be that John is sensitive. He
was doubtless trying to do the errand
gracefully and carefully, and it hurts
him to be reproved for his failure to
do so. Moreover, he feels sensitive
about those big feet. He knows that
the only reason his parents tease him
about them is because he cannot come
back at them and make teasing re-
marks about their inf1rmities.
Now, really, does it seem fair? If
you want to reprove John and humblea
him-perhaps you are justified, but
you ought at least to be as consider
ate to him as you would be to serv-
ant-and do it when there is no third
person present.

SAM BALLY
DIED SATURDAY
He Was Taken to a Duluth HospitaI
Last Thursday Night on the
America; Died Saturday
Night at 9 O'clock

Sam Bally, county commissioner of
Cook county, died Saturday night at
9 o'clock in a Duluth hospital where
ne had been but few days. He was
63 years of age at the time of death.
He had been ailing for several
months, but his sudden death was
unexpected by the public and the
news was quite shock to the people
OF this village. Mrs. Bally and her son
William were with him at the time
CT death. His daughter Blanche left
here Saturday night in response to
telephone message, reaching Duluth
after the grim reaper had visited the
hospital Albert Bally, a son,who is
located in Chicago, came in response
to telegram, reaching Duluth too
late to see his father alive.
Monday the remains were shipped
to Bayfield, where services were held
on Tuesday at o'clock in the Metho-
dist church, being conducted by the
local pastor there There were a num-
Der Of beautiful floral offerings. He
was buried in the Bayfield, cemetery.
The Odd Fellows of Bayfield, with
which lodge Mr.. Bally had kept up
his membership, assisted in the burial
service. There were present at the
funeral, besides the immediate family
and residents of Bayfield,, nine men
from Cook county, as follows: L. H.
Lien, Sheriff: Geo. Lcng, County aud
itor; S. C. Murphy, county attorney;
A. V. johnson, register Of deeds;
Matt johnson, clerk of court; Chas.
Seglem, county treasurer; H. o. Eng
elsen, chairman of the county board;
Godfrey Lundquist and J. A. Black
we'll.
Sam Bally went to Bayfield, from
Canada thirty three years ago. Nine
teen years ago he moved to Grand
Marais with his family and has lived
here ever since. He was a good citi-
zen, and served as pesident of the
village for several years. For the past
eight years he had been county com
missioner from this district. He was
re-nominated at the primary election
for another term, and would probably
have been reelected had he lived.
Besides wife, there is left to
mourn his loss three children: William
and Blanche, Of this village, and AL
bert of Chicago. Also two sisters
from Canada who arrived in Grand
Marais yesterday.
The family will return to Grand
Marais today. To them the entire
community extends it's heartfelt sym
pathy.

SH0PMEN ISSUE
PEACE TERMS
Fight on Seniority Rights Seen
as Chief Obstacle to Settle
ment-Urges Rehearing. .

Chicago-Three principal issues now
prevent possible settlement of the
railway shopmen's strike, B. M. Jewell,
head of the railway employees depart
ment of the American Federation OF
Labor, said in a statement. These is
sues, he said, are found in the refusal
Of the rail executives:
First-To discontinue contracting
out Of work.
Second-To establish a national
board of adjustment.
Third-To continue seniority rights
of employees who suspended work.
"The responsibility for increasing
losses to the railroads, to the COM
munities they serve and to wage earn
ers upon the railroads and elsewhere,
through continuance of the present
suspension of work." the statement
said, RESTS plainly upon the Associa-
tion Of Railway Executives, and par
ticularly upon that small but dominat-
ing group, representing the New York
banking interests
Pointing out that the Railroad La
Dor board has decided against the
practice of contracting out railroad
work in certain cases, Mr.. Jewell as
serted that the Erie railroad, the New
York Central and it's subsidiaries, in
Guiding the Indiana Harbor Belt, the
Michigan Central and the Big Four,
and the Western Maryland road have
all contracted out shop work"
MANY other roads," the statement
said, "have followed the same prac-
tice, and always with the purpose and
result of reducing wages, evading de-
cisions of the labor board, degrading
working conditions and attacking the
employees organizations"

BLACK RUST DANGER OVER
Bumper Wheat Crop in North Dakota
Assured.

Fargo, N. D.-A bumper North Da
kota wheat crop is assured, for even
were rust to sweep the state, accord
ing to the weekly report of J. W.
Hall, county agent, after perusal of
reports from all over the state, the
crop has virtually reached the point
where it can be said that rust will not
materially lower the general average
yield over the state.
Grade of wheat might be affected by
rust, says the report, but it could hard.
ly affect the general average state
yield in excess of one or two bushels
an acre. Such a condition, Mr.. Hall
adds, is unlikely
Weather the last 10 days has been
excellent for corn.
Reports from potato-growing local
ities say that disease is more prevalent
than usual and that blackleg will cut
down the yield.

conclusion of our building program,
with a vast tonnage united In large
measure for peace-time needs; be-
cause for peace needs, tonnage must
be measured by two factors; econ
omy of operation and fitness for
varying trades and purposes. Our
war-built feet could obviously take
neither factor into consideration.
This, while resulting in the produc-
tion Of ships as If by magic, had the
grave disadvantage of creating the
most sadly balanced merchant feet
the world ever knew.
That the reader may better understand
balance" let me Hken ships to railroad
equipment, with which all are familiar. A
railroad to operate successfully, must have
nat cars, must have inclosed freight cars
TO take regular mixed freight, and larger
cars to carry automobiles and the like. 1t
must have special cars to carry coal, and
still other cars fitted for express purposes,
IL must have refrigerator cars capable OF
taxing care Of varying types Of commod1-
ties. 1t must have highly specialized
equipment for passenger traffic, day
coaches and parlor cars. Pullman sleepers
and dining cars.
Must Have Passenger Ships.
The same sense Of balance and equipment
must obviously exist in merchant fleet.
TO compare the ships which the Govern
ment owns to railroad equipment, we
might say that the 1870 steel ships under
the Shipping Board consist largely of that
type comparable to the regulation freight
car, while practically none Of the especial
equipment needed, such as railroads have
for furniture carriage automobile carriage,
express service and refrigerator service
exists.
Again, to liken our ships to freight cars,
too many are of wrong sizes for practical
technical operation. We are still sadly de-
hclent In passenger ships. These passenger
Ships as will later develop, are the very
foundation of A merchant marine for war
and peace time needs
1t was because we were willing to sacri-
nee balance to quantity production which
was essential for the immediate needs Of
the World War, that we find ourselves
with this utterly unbalanced feet, the dis
position Of which is one of the great prob
lens confronting the American people
In the next article we will cover the
diversion Of the war built feet to peace
time needs.

DO BIRDS SING

XX7HAT we call the "song" of the
W bird-the melodious sounds
which it makes with its throat-is
really the courtship or love-making of
the male bird which seeks in this man.
ner to attract his mate and to make
himself more pleasing in her eyes.
This love-making goes on from early
in the spring until after the eggs of
the mother-bird have been Matched,
but. in the great majority of cases, it
ceases as soon as the young birds have
pecked their way out of the shell.
In the case of the nightingale-re-
nowned as the greatest Of singers
the male charms his mate with the
sound Of his voice all during the
period when he is courting her, during
the time the nest is being built and
even after the eggs have been laid. AS
soon as the little nightingales emerge
from their shells, the song of the IA
ther changes to a hoarse cultural
croak, as if he were anxious and
alarmed over the safety of his Off
spring. But-and here is the proof
of the fact that the song of the bird
Is synonymous with courtship-if the
nest and the little nightingales de-
stroyed, the father once more COM
mences to sing, as gloriously as be-
fore, and continues this until a new
family is born. The process of sing
ing is, of course, the samesas with d
human being. The vocal muscles are
expanded and contracted and the
waves of air passing over the deli
cate membranes produce the har-
mony. But, unlike human beings the
great majority of birds do rot have to
be taught to sing.

ARTICLE 2.
"ships, more ships, and again mor'
ships.'

'ships. more ships, and again more
ships"
"A bridge of ships to Europe"
Build ships and win the war"
These are familiar cries that will
remain indelib1e in the minds of all liv-
ing Americans, reminiscent of one OF
our major war programs, and needed
as one of the main factors that con-
tributed to the ending of the war in
the fall of 1918.
True, hardly any Of the Govern
ment-built ships found their way in
to commerce until after the .conclu-
sion of the war; but the knowledge
on the part of Great Britain and our
other Allies that renewals and re-
placements we're so soon to come
from American yards, led them, in
spite Of Germany's submarine war
fare, to prof1igate use of their own
tonnage; for they knew that, while
Germany was destroying their bot
toms in increasing ratio during the
spring and summer Of 1918, by the
fall of that year American ships in
an unending stream would be ready
For ten years prior to 1914 our
total annual production Of ships in
American yards averaged 100000 d.
W. t. tons. In the period of 1914 to
1917, because Of orders for ships
placed with us by the Allies, our
average annual output had increased
to 100000 d. W. t. TONS In April Of
1917 the Shipping Board began it's
plans for the building of the present
Government-owned feet, and the in
crease in American production of
tonnage was so rapid that in the last
six months Of 1918 and the first six
months Of 1919 our yards produced
total Of 4,553,298 tons.
Vision OF Marine Power Lacking.
How did we accomplish this mir
acle Of production? First, let it be
said, to the unending glory of the
spirit OF our nation, that we gave un-
stinted Of our treasure and Of our
men to the building Of the much
needed merchant marine feet so es-
sentially needed for the winning of
the war. Had we had in pre-war
days the vision of what such a feet
would have meant to us in war, we
never would have had to make this
great sacrifice of treasure and time,
for we would, in large part, have
possessed the ships ready for peace
or wartime needs.
But neither the sacrifice of money
nor the time of men could have re-
suited in the creation of so vast a
feet in so short time had we not
been willing to utterly disregard one
prime factor in the manufacture Of
ships, to wit: the peace-time value
OF the ships we created.
War Fleet Badly Balanced.
BY this I mean that our whole
effort was directed-and for war
purposes, properly-to the creation
Of the maximum tonnage in the
shortest time-anything that could
carry men and goods, regardless of
cost of construction and operation
This, while exactly right for wars
pressing necessities, left US at tho
