STORY OF "SCOTCHMAN"
WHOM IRELAND HONORS.

March II is the day for "wearin' OF
the green" and honoring St. Patrick.
But how many persons know that in

Scotchman, or at least a man who
was born in Scotland?
Yet such is the case, if we are to
believe what seems to be authentic
tradition, and if you will read the il
Illustrated feature article, ''St. Patrick's
Day." by Elmo Scott Watson, in this
issue of the Miner. You will learn
many interesting things about the OBJ
servance of st. Patrick's Day which
you never knew before. Don't miss

cellent work done. In the face of the
fact that Duluth has been visited with
some of the best concert companies

praise accorded the range association
meant much. After the Duluth ap-
pearance Prof. Schacht was invited
by the Duluth newspapers and public

he has several now under his direc-
ton.
AS an added attraction to the we'll
balanced program Madame Sames-

A campaign issue against Hoover
has at last been found. He fed the
man that raised the wheat, barley
flour during the war" All we can
say is that the man who is writing
this also ate barley, rye and any
other kind of flour during tire war.
Some of those who remained and kept
the home fires burning, also felt the
sting of war. Mr.. Hoover told them
all what to eat and his insIStence
made it easier to win the fracas hot
withstanding the sugar-f1our grabbing
paytriots who never went short of a
meal and boarded all the sugar and
white flour they could lay their hands
on. We know several people who are
now waving flags and shouting them
selves hoarSe over the down-trodden
proletariat, who were getting from
S12 to SIS day during the war max
ing ships as an excuse for not fight
ing and are against Hoover for presi-
dent because he made them eat bran
and other muscle making foods instead
of cake. The bran and barley Hour
eaters at home made capable soldiers
over there, at least our two soldier
boys say SO. This issue has peen pro-
PEELED into the campaign by enthusi-
asts and not by the farmer.

While we suppose that litigants feel
they have a right for redress for
wrongs in the courts, it does seem to
be a futile and unnecessary proceed
ing to pile up expenses for the state
and municipalities for litigation in
volving few dollars. Every session
of court has a calendar filled with
cases which under the moral code
never should have been brought The
expenses Of a court are Just as strong
for 500 suit as for a 100000 suit.
Attorneys must be paid and we must
say right here that attorneys do not
work for nothing-and rightly so-a
jury panel draws its per diem and
mileage; the judge and court attaches
all get their salaries. Costs run up
into hundreds while the issue at stake
amounts to few dollars. Cases are
on record where $3.50 original
claim has mounted into thousands be-
fore being thrown out of court. A
get-together of the agrieved parties
with give and take complex would
obviate all this.
