bership meeting of the Chamber Of
Commerce on Wednesday evening is
assured Of an excellent supper which
Is to be furnished by The ladies Of the
Congregational church with Mrs. w.
L. Nevins at the head Of the commit
tee. The menu is calculated to make
a person hungry Just read it over. It
will consist of grape fruit, home boil
ed ham and home cooked pork, mash.
ed potato, vegetable scallops Of vari-
GUS kinds, pickles, pies and coffee. It
will be hard to pass up supper like
that and the ladies will all want to
escape getting a meal at home and
will be sure to accom- pany their hus-
bands.
While it is disappointing that A. l.
T. Cummings, secretary Of State
Chamber of Commerce is unable to
be present, because Of a call to
Washington, the committee promises
an able and interesting speaker from
out Of town for the occasion. Several
lines are out and they will be sure
to yield something today so that the

WHEN MOTHER GETS A LETTER

When mothers had a letter, then
her eyes begin to twinkle,
And the joy of hearing from him
seems to Danish every wrinkle.
/ think if he could see her as she
hurries for her glasses,
There would never be a morning
when the gray-clad postman pas
SEES;
And I'm sure if he could hear her
as she huns some cheerful ditty,
She would never be forgotten by
i the boy that's in the city.
It's no use to sit and tell her not to
worry or be fearful.
When a mothers, heart is lonely,
then a mothers eyes are fearful
And mothers mind is troubled
and she's constantly referring
To the dangers of the city and the
accidents occurring;
But the nights find her smiling and
she says she's feeling better,
And she laughs across the teaeups
then l know she's had letter.
From the pocket of her apron she
pulls out his written pages,
And exultantly she tells me that he's
had a raise in wages.
Then she chuckles at his humor and
the story of his labors,
And / know beyond question that
she's read it to the neighbors;
And we sit and talk it over, proud
as lovers newly smitten,
Finding joy and satisfaction in each
line our boy has written.
When mothers had letter, then
the fears and doubts that grieve
her,
And the thousand. things she's dread
ing through the silence seem to
leave her.
Then wish unto her chuckles some
glad morning he could listen,
Or could see her smile returning and
her eyes begin to glisten;
Could know the joy it gives her, then
he never would forget her
And she'd never have to wonder why
she doesn't get letter.

PROTEST MEETING ON HIBBINc
PARALLEL PAVING PROGRAM.

DR.. Geo. T. Ayres, A. ]. Thomas,
E. w. Hanson and P. Schaefer were
in Virginia last evening to attend a
meeting of the Taxation Committee
Of the Virginia Chamber of Com
merce at which resolutions were
adopted protesting the paving of the
road from Hibbing to the Miller
Trunk and duplicating Highway No.
35, already paved. Delegates were
present from all the range towns
and the concensus of opinion was
that this was an Unnecessary and
extravagant expenditure of the
county money. In view of the fact
that there are sections in the
county where settlers have been
clamoring for roads to furnish in
gress and egress to their places, it
seemed rather presumptious on the
part of the western range city to
even ask for this. The. delegates
from this end of the county were
unanimously of the opinion that
state projects should be carried on.
The county money would be more
advantageously spent in furnishing
highways connecting with the state
projects as per program. The Ely
men at the meeting represented the
Ely Commercial Club.

Don't think, young fellow, that the
so-called "has-been" you refer to
when you pass him on the streets of
Ely can't teach you a lot of things
you don't know. Your more mod
ern ways are something, of course,
but his years of experience have
taught him many things you won't
know unless he gives you the in
formation. If you really want to
add to your efficiency you will spend
some time talking with the older
men, and getting their opinions, in
stead of referring to them as has
beens" and laboring under the
thought that they no longer know
anything worth while about life.
Older men may tell you some things
which would be impractical under
present day ways of doing things,
but they will also tell you other
things which would be much to your
advantage to know You think you
are stronger, more progressive and
more aggressive, and you believe
you are going to be big success in
your line. But when you reach the
age of our older citizens you may
not be able to hold as good a job
as some of them are still holding.
Once their prospects were no bet
ter than yours are now. You do
not know, you have no way of know
ing, what circumstances may work
against you, any more than you
know what mental suffering older
men passed through in life's jour
ney. So it would not be a bad
idea to have a talk with them, young
man, every time you have an OPP
portunity. They may be able to
save you from some of the pitfalls
in the business and social world
which they encountered. Expert
ence is the best teacher. And it

that three judges would be opposed

plainly evidenced in his refusal in
which he said: "While it has natur-
ally been my ambition to be upon

would be mistake to do anything
which might involve the judges in
political conflict. The stability of
the court is more important than my
personal ambitions or those of any
other man. For that reason, and
because of the high regard l have
for the judges who have filed, I
have determined, after careful con-
sideration, not to be candidate at
this time"

Would you hire doctor to fix

BY a vote of four to one the Du-
luth anti-bus ordinance was rejected
by the city council after City At
torney Richards had given his opin-
ion that the ordinance would be il
legal, special legislation and few
other things. The City Attorney de-
clared that under the ordinance
which forbids the operating of bus
ses on streets where there is double
car track, that buses could not even
cross such a street. This would
prevent buses from operating any
where in Duluth. The anti-bus
people will probably not be satisfied
with this and other measures will be
proposed. The matter viii be put
up to the voters at an election in
June.
