everyone and that people were so
generous with him that the entire
trip cost surprisingly little. g.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY s. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

Is it through pull, luck or mere
chance that men reach positions of
great responsibility and usefulness
in America today?
This question, the answer to which
should seem perfectly self-evident,
is worthy of attention by all who
are especially interested in giving
encouragement to our young men
and young women.
II is a fact that many are dis
couraged on the threshold of active
life because they believe luck, pull
or mere accident have much to do
with success.
There recently passed away a
great man; a genius, we venture to
assert, whose career was a striking
example of what can be done through
sheer pluck and ambition. The man
was Charles Proteus Steinmetz,
whose achievements as a scientist,
specializing particularly in electrical
research and experiments. give him a
place among the truly great men of
this nation But Steinmetz came
to this country thirty years ago with
almost every possible handicap.
Weak and deformed physically, de-
satute of money, with no friends or
position, his outlook was indeed any
thing but promising, But he
disregardAd the drawbacks. set his
face firmly toward the future and
became one of the most useful men
of our day.
He was successful, not from the
standpoint of personal financial
strength or political power, but be-
cause of his usefulness to humanity.
which is the only standard Of true
success worthy of recognition.
The career Of this man. a weak
ling physically, a giant in vision and
intellect, should prove an inspira-
ton to the youth of our country.
1t is not pull, it is not luck. it is
not mere circumstance that brings
success.
1t is pluck, thrift Of time, thrift Of
opportunity, ambition, character,
intelligent effort. No one can
truly succeed without these, But
with them any youeg man or young
woman eSn succeed, regardless Of
pull or the caprices of fortune.

No Special Session of the
Legislature.

Madison There will be no special
session of the legislature
This is the definite conclusion of
state officials with the settlement of
educational financing in sight. The
legislature failed to make appropria-
tions for the university and normal
schools. 1t was known that con-
tinuing appropriations would take
care of these until spring but it was
question whether they could be
tided over throughout the year with
out special arrangements calling
for a special session.
Emergency appropriations have
been made to take care of the
university needs. Nothing has yet
been done in regard to the normal
schools but it is claimed that they
will be cared for without a special
session.

Mrs. Noldin Succumbs to
Paralvtic Stroke.


Mrs. Catherine Noldin, pioneer
Hurley resident, died late Sunday
evening at the family home on Sixth

which rendered her almost helpless.
Mrs. Noldin was 81 years old and
had resided in this county since 1892.
The family lived at Pence for a
number Of years previous to re-
moving to Hurley. Her husband,
Joseph Noldin, died while the family
resided at Pence. The deceased
was born in Tyrol, Austria, May 8,
1869, coming to this country 35
years ago.
She leaves four daughters, Mrs.
D. J. Mcmillan Of Ironwood, Mrs. J..
l.. Donovan Of Duluth, and Josephine
and Emma; three sons, Leopold j.,
county treasurer, Raymond and
Clarence, and a number of brothers
and sisters. Two sisters, Mrs. Fedel
and Mrs Marchetti, reside at Pence,
and a brother, Peter Menghini, in
Wyoming The children were all
present at the funeral as was also the
sisters at Pence and the brother in
Wyoming, who arrived Thursday.

Mary's church yesterday morning
with burial in the Hurley cemetery.

High Grade Ore to Zenith Furnaces
at Duluth.

About 100 cars of iron ore are
being shipped through Ashland from
Hurley to the Zenith furnaces in
Duluth.
fhe Zenith furnace manufacturers
receive a shipment of range ore at
occasional intervals over the North
ern Pacific road. Twenty or thirty
cars are leaving Ashland every even
ing for the Duluth company.
The Zenith manufacturers demand
better grade ore than the open pit
ore Of the Mesabe mines, so their
occasional shipments are of Besse-
mer deep mine iron ore, as were the
shipments by lake freighters to the
Ford plant at Detroit this summer

back TO the time when the waltz was
in style with never a hint of this
jazzing so vile. Motion suggestive
are thicker than fieas, wiggling and
squirting from topknot to knees,
over the floor they go twisting
about-now glued together, now
gyrating out. Amt it enough to
make decent folks blush and hike for
the exits, such hoochie-kooch slush?
So Daddy Time, kick in the reverse;
do it old scout and well make up a
purse. For we are tired of such
shivering trOts, grizzly-bear hugging
and angleworm knots; fain would
we fly to those days when to dance
didn't mean doing a T. Gobbler
prance. Prudish? Perhaps; but
the day is at hand when dances like
these will be chased from the land.
And those who persist in such SEN
suous squirms will be tucked meath
the greensward to fatten the worms.

Observe, Or Celebrate ?

Again we observe the day the
armistice was signed, November II
1918. But have we much to
celebrate now?
On that day the world was happy
The war was over. Service men
had thoughts of home. Parents and
wives and brothers and sisters and
friends were anticipating the early
return Of the boys from over there.
The thought was fondly cherished
that there would be no more wars
that the ferocity and destructiyeness
of the great fight was such that
humanity would shrink from its
repetition.
Peace, production and recon
struction was to be the order of
Christendom.
But that was five years ago.
This is today.
Instead of an era of peace, pro-
duction and reconstruction, we see
humanity smothering under a
blanket of strife, jealousy, hatred,
vindictiveness, intrigue, bartering
the soul of the world for national
and personal gain.
We find war of wits paving the
way for another war of men.
In Europe there is no peace, there
is little happiness, there is slight pro-
duction, and reconstruction lags.
But there is hell in plenty and to
spare.
On this anniversary Of the sign
ing of the armistice it is to be
regretted that we can not write only
on the glories and SORROWS of our
participation, pointing to the ulti-
mate good Of the future as justifica-
ton for the horrors of the past
But truth and candor compel US
to state facts as we find them.
God in His wisdom knows why
they are facts.
We don't.-F. w. Barber.

Cooperative Road Construction
Is Approved.

Is approved
Madison-A cooperative plan be-
tween the state highway commission
and counties in the construction of
federal as well as state aid highways,
was approved as legal by the at
torney generals department in aA
opinion delivered to the highway
commission late yesterday. The
opinion, written by Deputy Attorney
General Robert NJ Rieser, held that
counties and the highway commits
sion may enter into the cooperative
arrangement.
The plan as proposed by the high
way commission, calls for an agree
ment whereby funds allotted to
counties for federal aid work may be
used by the state in improving any
part of the federal aid system. Such
funds also may be used upon con-
tracts on which the funds not allott-
ed by the state are spent, it was held.
The cooperative road plan IN
wolves the entire state and federal
aid highway system, it is said. The
legal department advised that feder-
al funds may be used by the state
commission on projects which the
county board recommends for con-
struction.

was too much for Ironwood in the
range classic at Ironwood Sunday
afternoon, winning the contest by
the score of Q to Z. Duluth made
a touchdown shortly after play was

yard run by Hansen. who intercepted
pass and raced for touchdown.
The game at Bessemer Sunday
morning resulted in 40 to 0 score
in favor of Bessemcr Iron
Mountain being no match for the
Gogebic county seat boys.

the curtain on Gogebic range semi
professional football for this year.
