Cattle Spaying

BY this method cattle men are able
to clean the herd from COWS at as
good price that otherwise sell at =
small price. Spayed COWS are always
ready for the market and sell at steer
prices Your buyer can sell to feed
ers or hold the COWS until the price
is right. Where the fat COW that is
not operated on must be slaughtered
at once for fear that she shows evil
dence of pregnancy. Cows that or
dinarily sell for forty dollars should
sell at fifty-five dollars after she is
operated on. Write or call me at

WAGES HERE AND
ABROAD

THE American factory worker is
= receiving wages the purchas-
ing power OF which IS above the
wages paid in any other country of
the world The British Ministry Of
Labor has made q computation of
the amount OF food which the
wages Of workers in different cities
of the world will purchase. In
the following table the purchasing
power Of wages in London is taken
as 100, and the purchasing power
Of wages in other cities IS shown
as percentages Of this figure. The
table indicates that the worker in
New York can buy more than
twice as much food with his wages
than can the worker in London.
while the worker in Berlin or
Vienna can buy only little more
than half as much with his daily
wage as the worker in London,
or only one-fourth as much as the
worker in New York

COMMUNITY FAIR
ARRANGEMENTS,
THE COMMITTEE HAS EVERY
THING IN READINESS FOR
THE FAIR.

Space is being sought by exhibit
ors who wish to make displays at
the Community Fair next Monday
afternoon and evening. The Fair
takes place at the Washington Aud
itorium and premium list has been
arranged upon which there are some
three hundred items to be displayed
and priced. The display of garden
and farm products will be held in
the Auditorium while the live stock
will be under a tent on the school
grounds. The prospects are that
there will be a most comprehensive
exhibition of the finest in garden
stuffs, root crops, fruits, canned
goods, etc. ever shown in any city
of the ranges-and probably COM
munities in the southern part of the
state. Music will be provided for
the exhibition and a fine time is
promised for all who attend. No
charges will be made to anyone for
anything and everyone is invited to
be present.

GILBERT SCOUTS ON A
BOUNDARY CANOE TRIP

Sixteen Gilbert Boy Scouts, &C.
companied by scout leaders, passed
through here Monday on several.
hundred-mile canoe trip around
Hunters Island.
The trip will last two weeks and
the greater part of it will be
through primeval forest. There will
be no firearms on the trip, as this is
forbidden by both Federal and Can.
adian statutes. The region which
will be traversed is a national for
est and also a game preserve. The
American side is known as superior
National forest and the Canadian
side as Quetico park.
Fishing, woodcraft and wild life
photography will be featured. Wild
animals abound. Moose and deer
are common sights and bear are
frequently seen. Smaller game is
in abundance and occasionally carl
bou are seen.
Canoes to be used Non the TRIP
have been paid for by the follow.

$1,000, 900 for new paving.

81 100000 for new paving.
California will require only ST.
372, 049 this year for maintenance
of 1926 miles Of improved high
ways, while Minnesota will spend
100000 for upkeep of smaller
mileage Of roads Of the same class,
totally inadequate to the volume Of
traffic upon them, which cannot be
permanently improved for lack Of
funds.
The cost Of maintenance Of grav-
eled roads is increasing constantly
in Minnesota because the traffic is
becoming far too heavy for that kind
of construction. Where there was
an average Of 565 cars a day on all
the 1000 miles Of state highway
good, bad and indifferent--in 1921,
there were TO vehicles a day in
1922 and about 1000 a day in
1928. Although a graveled road
will not stand up under use by more
than $500 cars a day, many such
roads are travelled by a far greater
number. Near Hugo on Trunk High
way No. l a recent count showed
1876 cars on Saturday. On Sun
days the Traffic is much heavier.
Money spent for maintenance is
mostly thrown away under such cir
cumstances.
On the other hand the paved
roads can endure 10000 cars day
with little or no expense for up
keep, as on the White Bear road.

PUSHbA[L DRAWS
LARGE NUMBER,
FORT SMELLING BOYS ENTER
TAIN AT THE BALL PARK
SUNDAY.

A large number of people were
at the ball park Sunday where the
two teams of auto pushball players
entertained them for two hours in a
contest that was replete with many
thrills and considerable dust. This
was the first introduction Ely people
had to the game and many were
fascinated.
AS the name indicates, the game
is played by two players in auto
mobiles who endeavor to push the
four foot ball through the goal posts
of the opposing player. The man.
ouvering of the machines by the
drivers fully keeps them employed
from the beginning to the end.
Several times during the games the
machines turned over and would
have spilled their OCCUPANTS had
they not been strapped in.
In the intermissions, teams of
boys amused the crowd with a push
ball contest. However the young
sters were too small and not versed
in the game to make the contest
exciting. Enough was seen of the
game to prove that the Fairgrounds
should put in a ball and an instruct
or should demonstrate the use of the
same. The Community Band also
furnished music during the games.
Saturday evening parade and
stunts were staged by the players
and the machines. The contests
were sponsored by the Frank Lozar
Post of the American Legion and put
on by the teams of Company G,
Sixth Minnesota Infantry.

COUNTY FAIR
SEP. |, z, 8.
ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR
THE BIGGEST FAIR IN THE
HISTORY OF THE COUNTY.

With Hibbing through celebrat-
ing, Richard Giffin, secretary of the
St. Louis County fair is now devot-
ing all of his attention to the big
county exposition which Will open
on September and 3.
The secretary within a few days
plans on announcing the complete
amusement program. For the first
time in several years, the fair board
has decided to eliminate the air at
fractions. 1t is figured that the
public has been fed up on the aero
plane shows at county fairs and de-
sire something else. With that OBJ
ject in view, the secretary has de-
voted his efforts to grandstand at
fractions which will be among the
best that money can provide. Some
of the best gymnasts, tumblers, horse
acts, animal acts have been secured.
To replace the local auto races, the
secretary has secured an added at
traction in the form of automobile
dirt track racers. They will contest
for prizes every day during the fair.
Fair is County Fair.
The fair this year will be county
fair in every sense of the word.
With that idea in mind, the secre-
tary appeals to the different range
communities to make a determined
effort to be represented with their
various clubs and particularly their
bands. Grand Rapids, Duluth, Eve
leth, Biwabik, Virginia, Chisholm,
Aurora, Gilbert and other localities
are asked to be represented by in
dividual representation.
Duluth has not been represented
in very large numbers the past two
years and this year a special APP
peal is made to the Zenith city to
start in at once and make arrange
ments to invade Hibbing in force.
Another big attraction this year
will be the band concert to be part
icipated in by all the range bands.
The fair grounds are now being
placed in shape for the hundreds of
exhibits expected from every por-
ton of the county.

AGRICULTURE DOES NOT TAKE
ALL CUT.OVER FOREST LANDS.

The tradition that all cut or
burned over forest land, or even
the greater part of it, is being taken
by agriculture is not borne out by
the facts, says the Forest Service
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
The total area of forest lands al.
ready cut or burned over, exclusive
of farm woodlots, that has not been
taken for agricultural use has al.
ready grown to 181, 900 acres says
the department. Furthermore, our
forest land is being cut over at the
rate of about 100000 acres
yearly, and probably more than hall
this area is in virgin forest.
The depletion of our timber sup.
plies and the reduction of ou- forest
area largely through timber mining
has created a national problem
that of providing the timber nee.
essary to meet our future require.
