HICKORY MILL GIVES WEDDING
PRESENTS TO TWO EMPLOYEES

For several years 1t has been the
custom at the Hickory Mill of T. w.
Minton & Co. to give set of silver
and a silver baking tish to each EN-
ployee that married. provided this
employee has worked for them six
months or more. Half of the sum
needed for the purchase of the gift
is made up among the friends of the
"newly-wed" in the mill and the re-
mainder is donated by the company
On Saturday, Jan. 2S, they had
the opportunity to give present to
two of the employees at the same
time. Link Randall and Ben Bed
dow we're the new Benedicts and in
consequence each received full set
Of silver tableware in an oak case
and a silver baking dish. Shortly
before the whistle was to blow for
quitting time .Supt. Lucien White
signaled to the engineer to shut
down. The men then gathered on the
main floor OF the mill and General
Manager Wall remarked that "the
Gold Dust twins are now ready to
clean up the silver" He then called
upon William Tomlinson to make
the formal presentation speech. Mr..
Tomlinson is quite an orator and
always makes a hit. The two re-
cipients were then called upon for a
speech, but neither could say more
than a few words. Mr.. Wall created
a big laugh by saying. "You notice
that as soon as man marries he
loses his power Of speech, because
he no longer has a chance to use it,"
Within the last six months the fol-
lowing employees Of the Hickory
Mill have received silver sets and
dishes: Clarence Newman, Louis

DUG WELLS
by +. G. Dugan
State Sanitary Engineer

A dug we'll is hole In the ground
which reaches into a layer OF earth
that is saturated with water. When
hole is dug into suck saturated
soil the water runs out OF the soil
into the hole and fills it to the level
at which the water stands in the
earth. AS the water is dipped or
pumped out the hole again fills to
the ground water level.
The location Of the we'll is OF the
greatest importance. It should be
on the slope above the stable and
the privy, never less than 200 feet
from both, and the farther the bet
ter.
The casing of the well must be
absolutely watertight from the top
of the we'll to the point where it is
intended to admit the water into the
well.
The construction OF the cover of
the well is important in protecting
II from pollution. Proper and safe
construction is but little more diff
cult or expensive than the usual un-
safe construction. Thepurpose is to
keep all filth from entering the we'll
A concrete slab is the safest and in

Don't forget to smile sweet"
The Cook County news-herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Cook County, Minn.) 1909-current, 1922-11-09

When an American girl left a king
on a dance floor to go speak to her
father her act caused considerable
comment. Possibly the readiness of
the king to overlook such violation
of royal etiquette was an even more
unusual thing than the thoughtless
act of the girl. Kings, in the past,
have not been in the habit of being
left alone on dance floors by young
women with whom they have delgned
to dance. None but an American girl
would have held a dance with a king
so lightly as to have run to her father
with no more formal leave taking than
a request that the king wait a min
Ute" The willingness of King AL
fonso Of Spain to overlook the affair
Is another indication that the life of
a king, like that Of the old gray mare,
is not what it used to be. The kings
readiness to understand was an indi-
cation of the progress of democracy on
the continent where titled aristocracy
has made it's most stubborn stand.

FEWER SERVANTS NOW.

One of the curious facts that the re-
cent census disclosed-or rather cor
roborated, for it had been observed be-
fore-is the steady diminution in the
number Of house servants and domes-
tic workers. In ten years and in spite
Of steadily growing population the
number of cooks decreased more than
one-ffth, the number of chambermaids
more than one-quarter, the number Of
general" maids one-fifth, Of home
laundry workers one-Quarter and Of
dressmakers in the home nearly one
half. Unlike previous advanced civil
izations, our own fourishes without a
constant increase in the numbers of
the servant class, says the Youths
Companion. The reason Of course is
the extent to which machines have
come to do the work of hands. The
garment factories have long taken
much Of the sewing out of the private
house, and the invention Of every sort
Of mechanical and electrical appliance
for Homework has made it possible to
maintain a consistently high standard

Lord Leverhulme, the British peer
who has made a great fortune in man
ufacturiHg soap, does not think that
the possession Of a mere material
wealth gives a nation a clear field in
industrial competition. Speaking at
Bolton, he said that American owner
ship of three-fourths Of all the gold in
the world was not as great an asset
as the Yankee habit of early rising.
He also warned his hearers that the
attitude Of some English youths who
expected to inherit money in looking
on work as degrading would not aid
their country in competition with a
nation whose young men took the op-
posite view. There are not a few
young men in America who might
profit by this British advice.

I'm America we are all in the hunt

says Irving Bachelor, the well-known

is always calling US back home. Every
one who goes about looking for happi-
ness will look in vain. If he is capa-
BILE of seeing her, he will find her
waiting on his doorstep when he gets
home. What is happiness? Is 1t not
in love Of ones task and Of his asso-
Citations? I am convinced that it is
born of those two loves, or not at ALL
The greatest happiness lies in hav-
ing found ones work and in being
strong to do it. Good health is, there
fore, part Of the thing we call hap
piness. The friends who respect and
understand us and a loved task and
comfortable home fill the cup.''

Some remarkable facts have been
brought to light recently regarding
letter writing in the various countries
OF the world. 1t is not surprise, how
ever, to learn that in the two great
English-speaking countries the aver
age number of letters per inhabitant
is far and away above that in any
other country. In actual figures, it
works out at 112 year for each per-
son in America and 81 in Eng
land. These figures may not seem to
be extraordinary at first sight, but
when it is realized that they mean
that in the United States there were
handled almost eleven and a half bill
lion letters last year, Slight idea Of
the enormous development of the
country's postal facilities, necessary
for such task, may be gained.
