PEK|NG DUE TO
SEE CHANGES
By MAURITz. A. HALLGREN

Picking, latter-day capital Of
China, is likely to change hands
many times before peace finally
comes to the Far Eastern. country,
according to John Van A. MacMur.
ray. American Minister to China.
Chang Tso-lin, erstwhile Manehu-
rian bandit chieftain. now holds
the city which first became gov.
erning center 800 years ago when
the great Kublai Khan made It the
capital Of his widespread empire.
Chang's rule of Peking has lasted
since early in 1926, but his grip
on the ancient metropolis has at
no time been overly secure.
During the past summer the
'Manchurian war lords rule has
been threatened by the Nationalist
(Southern) armies under Chang
Kai-shek, by the Kuominchun
forces led by Feng Yu-hsiang and
lastly by the troops of Yen Hsi-
shan, the model governor of
Shansi province, who had kept the
pecae for 10 years.

their own purposes much as an
earlier Mongol army had done CEN
turtles before under Ghengis Khan.
But the American Minister points
to the many times In which Picking
has changed hands since the Revo-
luton Of 1911 and he believes these
presidents will be followed in the
future until Chinese political condi.
tons become more or less stabilized.
The first provisional president OF

GREAT WORK OF RED CROSS.

If someone should ask a person
living in Duluth or elsewhere In
Minnesota, how many disasters this
country suffered during the last
year, It is probable that the answer
would be, "One-the Mississippi
valley flood" or on second thought
one might remember that the
Florida hurricane should be in
cluded, and say, 'Two."
This guess misses the mark by
some rs. 1t is surprising to the
majority of US to learn that on an
average of approximately every
four days during the last year, this
country suffered a disaster of suf-
ficient magnitude to require Red
Cross assistance; that the amount
of money the Red Cross spent in
meeting these emergencies is greater
than the budget of 26 states; that
only six cities in the United States
have a larger population than the
number of disaster victims helped
during that time. ..-.
Throughout the civilized world,
but especially in this country, floods
raging over thousands of miles, fires
destroying whole villages, tornadoes
and hurricanes sweeping over entire
states and death-dealing explosions
have combined to make the year
one of unprecedented calamities.
More persons have required as
sistance from the Red Cross than
ever before in the history of the
country. While the great Missis-
sippi valley flood was largely respon-
sible for this, the organization was
called upon to give assistance fol-
lowing 76 other disasters in this
country, in addition to 20 catas-
trophies abroad in which it extended
relief.
1t is interesting to know exactly
what these American disasters were.
Tornadoes lead the list with %;
the floods run q close second with
21; next are the list of fires which
ravaged parts of eleven commune
ties. The other disasters were mis-
cellaneous catastrophies, such as
hurricanes, mine explosions, hail

SIC OLSON TALKS
To LEGION POST
REGULAR MEETING ENLIVENED
BY TALK ON TOPOGRAPHY
OF COUNTRY ABOUT ELY
POST DOES MUCH BUSINESS

The Frank Lozar Post No. 248,
American Legion, held it's regular
monthly, meeting Tuesday evening.
After the regular order of business
was finished, which included final
arrangements for the Armistice Day
Dance; appointment of New Years
Dance Committee; hearing of the
committees on sick and relief and
several communications, the men,
bers listened to talk by one of their
comrades, "Sig" Olson.
Mr.. Olson spoke on the Typogra-
ply of the territory around Ely. He
went back almost to the beginning
of time and took the Post on up thru
the different cycles and periods, from
the time this territory was all sea
and ocean, then mountains, then COW
cred by the ocean again and so on,
telling of the different layers of rock
formation that are found here and
to what age they belong. He told of
the Glacial Period and of, the marks
which are so plain today. His talk
was very interesting and after the
talk Mr.. Olson was asked a hundred
and one questions about this rock
ledge and that granite cliff and some
gravel deposits that the members
remembered having seen.
The Armistice Day Dance will be
at the Washington Auditorium, mus
ic furnished by the Nash Pirates
Radio Orchestra composed of eight
pieces. Lunch is being served by the
American Legion Auxiliary. Dane
ing from nine until two will give all
chance to enjoy themselves a
plenty.
The Junior Athletic Sports Com
mittee will begin making arrange
ments for the basket ball season as
soon as the Football tests Saturday
are finished. There should be eight
or ten teams playing under the
schedule in basketball, with material
for as many more.
After the meeting the members
were treated to hot-dogs and coffee.
Many of them stayed late and played
whist, pinochle and billiards.

storms, railroad wrecks and disease
epidemics.
Following the Florida hurricane
of September, 1926, the Red Cross
expended nearly $4,500,000 for re-
lief of approximately 100000 suf-
ferers, carrying on a relief and re-
construction program over a period
of five months.
In the Mississippi valley flood this
year, the most extensive disaster
America has ever suffered, a great
yellow sea of muddy water spread
over an area of approximately
$4,000 square miles. From Cairo,
Illinois, almost to the Gulf of
Mexico, distance of nearly 1000
miles, the river went on its rampage.
Almost over night, the Red Cross
was called upon to cope with an
emergency of unprecedented pro-
portions. How it met that emer-
gency comprises the most glorious
peace-time chapter in its brilliant
history.
Every adult person in the United
States should be a member of the
Red Cross. 1t is a membership
society, and it is by reason of its
large, almost universal membership,
that it is able to do its work so eff
ficiently.-Duluth News Tribune.

Vandalism seems to be rampant in
the Arrowhead Country and the pap
ers are continually cautioning people
against the practice. Vandals are a
menace to the summer home owner
and also all others who desire that
the beauty of the country remain in
tact. dad" Atkinson in the Hib-
bling News says:
vandalism seems to be a fixed
habit with too many people-a de-
sire to destroy to satisfy a morbid
desire-and the result of it is that
many of the beauty spots of the
Arrowhead are being closed as a
means of protection. And that isn't
giving those who are not vandals a
square deal.
"a short time ago we visited the
popular Burnside Lodge at Burnt
side lake a few miles out from Ely,
and there we saw the work of the
vandal in the stripped birch trees.
The birch tree seems to be the
"meat" of the vandal, who strip the
bark and uses it to write letters
home, and it doesn't seem to matter
much to them whether the trees are
in somebody's front yard or in the
woods, they destroy their beauty
just the same"

LEGION NOTES

Within week from the start of
the 1928 member renewal date, q
O24 Minnesota Legionaires were in
good standing for 1928, and the fol-
lowing posts had won citations for
leading the Gopher Gang past the
previous membership totals: Truman,
Bricelyn, Cleveland, Cold Spring,
Garfield, Lowry, Madison Lake, Cot
tonwood, Cambridge and Princeton.

During 1927 the Minnesota Legion
Auxiliary Poppy Shop kept 80 dis
abled veterans employed for 80 days
at $500 daily, this earning limit be-
ing placed SO that as many veterans
as possible might have a chance to
earn something. They made half a
million peoples which were worn last
Memorial Day by our citizens who
purchased them from Legion Aux
iliary units. The latter are now ord
ering their 1928 supply, so that the

When Stafford King of st. Paul,
head of the 40-8 Legion Fun Society
in Minnesota, visited London club
room of The British Legion, while
on the Paris national convention
trip, he found that members of this
organization who were privates,
drink at the bar. If they were non
commissioned officers, they have a
little table to drink at. And if they
are former officers, they are given a
room to themselves. Nothing so
forcibly impressed on me the reality
of our slogan, ''No creed, no class,
no rank, in The American Legion,,,
than this lack of democracy within
the British Legion, Mr.. King de-
clared in making a recent address.

MINNESOTA CASHES IN

Minnesota today is the envy of
other states because it has the largest
trust funds.
julius A. Schmahl, state treasurer,
once more called attention to this bit
Of good fortune over the radio when
re predicted that in another 20 years
le FUNDS would grow to $2U0,UOU,
900 and permit an annual disburs-
ment of $l2, 100000 for educational
purposes.
This plan of getting an income for
social purposes out OF lands which
belong to the government means a
lot to the residents and taxpayers of
Minnesota. In the first place it pro-
vides more and better educational
facilities than would otherwise be
possible. In the second place it re-
moves from taxpayers a SUBSTANTIAL
burden.
There is no state in the union
which has such large trust funds.
This is because no other state has
been fortunate in having far-sighted
early governors together with val
liable iron ore deposits.
Gov. Alexander Ramsey and the
legislature which IS years ago pro-
vided in the constitution that pro-
ceeds from the sale of state lands
shall remain in a perpetual school
fund are responsible for a fund
which today amounts to $57, 1882, 1928.
The discovery of iron ore on much
of this land which was given Min
nesota by the federal government
made it immensely valuable and &C
counts in the main for the large size
of the fund.
If the government of Pennsyl-
vania, for instance, had set aside
some of the coal land for such pur-
pose, it would also have a consid
cradle sum by this time. But it
didn't and therein lies the difference.
The states trust funds are prac-
teal example of the successful use
of a natural resource for the general
public beneft.-St. Paul Daily News.

Educating the public to avoid driv-
ing automobiles is a slow process and
probably never will be entirely sue
cessful, although it will gradually
reduce the number of collisions.
But there will always be somebody
willing to take a shot at beating a
locomotive to it just as there is al
ways some moron willing to take a
shot of loaded gin. Last year 2O2
persons were killed and 1430 were
injured by running into the sides of
trains. The railroads, the highway
engineers and others must do every
thing they can to make it mechan-
ically impossible for US to destroy
ourselves by our own folly or the
carnage will increase. West Con-
cord Enterprise.

DOES 1T MEAN ANYTHING

The city of Duluth, with popu-
lation of 100000 and the village of
Hibbing, with a population of IT.
900, spend practically the same
amount of money for maintenance
of the municipality.
Duluth is six times as large as Hlb-
bling. 1t costs six times as much per
inhabitant to administer the affairs
of Hibbing as it does the affairs OF
Duluth.
The Duluth tax levy for munic-
ipal purposes for the year is $2,217,-
$50 and the Hibbing tax levy is ST.
O2l,2OO. The assessed valuation OF
Duluth upon which this levy is made
is $S1,972,S27, while the assessed
valuation of Hibbing is $85, l42,222.
1t is an interesting comparison,
isn't it Does it mean anything to
you? What do you think it means
to the rest of the state, which, every
now and then, has the unpleasant
habit of butting into our atfairs?-

and not penny from direct taxa
ton, is considered by many .unthink-
able extravaganza. Yet the money
would build thousand miles of con-
crete roads, which would save the
owners of automobiles, trucks and
busses, each year more than that
amount, and would save the trunk
highway fund more than million
dollars year now wasted on main
tenance of graveled roads that are
constantly deteriorating. 1t is sur
prising that a single individual in the
state can be opposed to the Babcock
plan, which spells, progress and
economy. Minnesotans have an idea
