Cause of Storms

In November, when the lands sur
rounding the Great Lakes get their
first snowfall, and the lake waters are
still relatively warm, the temperature
contrasts which are produced tend
actively to attract and intensity the
passing storms. When the air to the
northward is abnormally cold, as the
wind sweeps down from that quarter

ity, with a heavy gale, extreme cold
and snow, the worst kind of a com
bination for the seaman. Lake ship
ping suffers. Storms of the great in
land seas are more disastrous than
those OF the open ocean, because there
is less space for drifting, and because
of powerful lake currents during gales
which take the ship out of control
Also. the fresh lake water Is lighter
than the salt water OF the ocean and

into great waves by a strong wind

Cult in Neuo Mexico

only a slightly attenuated form in New
Mexico and Arizona, where the Peni-
tente sect crucifes one of its cult each
year.
The Penitentes or, 70 give them their
full title, Los Hermanos Fenitentes,
are Mexicans and Indians, living In
isolated mountain villages. who trace
their ancestry back to the Aztecs.
Shortly after the conquest OF Mexico
by Cortez many Of the subjects Of
MOntezuma were converted to Chris
tianity. Despite the doctrines of elem
ency and kindness taught them, the
savagery of the novitiates persisted In
their religious rituals. SO staggering
were their practices Of self-flagella-
ton and torture that the Catholic

Aztecan institution of human sacrifice.

Since that time, more than a hundred
years ago, the Penitentes have existed
In independent organization, sponsored
by no denomination. but almost com
pletely unhampered by governmental
action.
The week preceding Easter Is the
one period of the year when these
people are most conspicuous. The
first days are spent In fasting. The
last ones are spent in Negotiations

man. exhausted, but not very greatly
impaired physically, Is released from

the belief of the cult that the victim

Tips For Taxpayers.

Losses arising from fires, storms,
shipwreck, or "other casualty"
example, a flood or frost-whether
or not connected with the taxpayers
business, may be deducted from
gross income in his 1928 income

need not be incurred in trade or
business A loss for embezzle-
ment is also deductible.
All losses are deductib,e only to
the extent by which they are not

The Railroad Dollar

SOME men in public life are pro-
posing to compel reduction in
rates with no thought of making
such reductions possible by aid
ing in the reduction of expenses.
THE railroads today are return
ing back to the people by way
of wages, purchase of materials
and supplies, and taxes, almost
all the money they take in.
F. REDUCTIONS in rates are to be
had, there must first be some
way of reducing expenses.
The present level of freight
rates is not caused by the
valuation of the railroads nor by
the net return they are receiv-
ing.

European Red Cross Acknowledges
Christmas Kits.
Our teachers no doubt will be in
terested in the following comment
received from the Junior Red Cross
organizations in Europe, in reponse
to the Christmas Boxes which our
Iron county teachers sent from their
rooms. These comments are in
dicative Of the deep and wide spread
feeling caused by the annual dis
tribution of these gifts thru
the American Red Cross.
From the Belgian Red Cross: 1--WE
thank you for the generous intention
of the American Red Cross. Our
children will certainly be happy to
receive the Christmas presents,
have no doubt, will contribute
towards binding more closely the
ties Of friendship which already
unite our two countries. Undoubt-
ably the Belgians will express their
feelings of gratiture by sending a
letter Of thanks to the recipients.
From the Red Cross in France
/ cannot tell you how touched we
are at the evidence of friendship
given by your young citizens for the
country for which their fathers
fought. / wish to express to you
our warmest gratitude and / will ask
that you be good enough to convey
this assurance to the United States.
From the Italian Red Cross: The
kind thoughts of the American
Juniors Of preparing Christmas
boxes will be heartily welcomed and
appreciated by the Italian children,
which will be efficacious means of
strengthening between the two
countries
Other letters of appreciation were
also received from the Polish Red
Cross, Jugo-Slav, Hungarian-Rum-
anian and Esthonian Red Cross.

THE NATIONAL CAPITOL
News Items From Washington by a
Special Correspondent.

Congressman Peavey wants to
know why the disabled ex-service
men in the Eleventh Wisconsin
Congressional District are not given
proper consideration by the U. S.
Veterans Bureau in Chicago. In a
tart letter to C. S. Spofford, man
ager of the Eighth District office, he
declares no Wisconsin ex-service
man has been given any kind of a
square deal. In his letter, Mr..
Peavey says in part:
every single case regardless of
diagnosis, supporting affidavits, or
any other evidence that could and
should be conclusive, submitted by
my office, has achieved but one
single result, viz: Refused. The
only variety in the phraseology used
in turning down the applicant.
During the last week, have re-
ceived three of these Refusals. To
my personal knowledge, these men
are disabled ex-soldiers who are
unable to work at their former
vocations and unable to make living
in their present condition. Their
ailments are traceable to the service
or wounds received in action.
81 wish to say to you, that unless
you give me positive assurance that
these boys are to receive justice.
will act in a manner that will bring
about a change Of the conditions Of
which complaint is made. Many of
these men would doubtless be dead of
neglect but for the bounty of friends
or the devotion of their families"
Representative Peavey's amend
ment to the present revenue act
providing for the repeal of the
Admission tax up to and including
so cents, has been accepted by the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House. Referring to the Mellon
tax reduction measure, Peavey de-
clares its provisions are vicious il
that the small tax payer gets little OF
no benefit.
"What we want" said Mr.. Peavey
sis to preserve the present higf
surtaxes and cut the normal tax rate
in two, with a % percent reduction
on all earnest income up to $4,000
per year. This would benefit thou
sands of professional men, small
business men in the country, an(
farmers who receive little or nj
benefit under the Mellon plan"

HEED THE WARNING
Many Hurley People Have Done So.

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examin-
ing the urine and treating the kid
neys upon the first sign of disorder,
many days of suffering may be
saved. Weak kidenys usually expel
a dark, ill-smelling urine, full of
"brickdust" sediment and painful in
passage. Sluggish kidneys often
cause a dull pain in the small of the
back, headaches, dizzy spells, tired,
languid feelings and frequent
rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Pills are for the kidneys

mended remedy.
Hurley people endorse Doan's
Pills. Ask your neighbour

Hot Lunch at Quincy School.


The health of our school children
should be our first interest. One
way to improve the health of the
child in our rural schools is serving
hot nutritious dish at noon. Where
this has been carried out in a simple
organized way, there has been less
sickness, better attendance and
higher standings in classes.
We are pleased to note that the
pupils of the Quincy school, have
been served hot dish daily, since
the cold weather began. Miss
Pearl Organist, instructor, has
charge of this work in this school
Miss Ella Innis of the Kimball
