THEATER MANiGER SAYS STELLA DALLAS
 IS \ MASTERPIECE.

Those people at the Liberty last night had a real treat in movies. Not a spectacular play, not com edy, and yet one of the finest fea- lures ever seen in Seward. Adver- tised as a beautiful mother love story (Which it includes) it is in reality an expose of number of different faults of marriage and parenthood.
 First" states D. c. Brownell, owner of the theatre, is clear il- lustration of the blind indifference parents have to their own short comings; while willing to sacrifice almost anything for their children they never take the trouble tO drop their egotiSm and thru self andy sis see their faults as their children and husband and others see them All the suffering, the tragedy, the

last sacrifices would have been avoided had Stella Dallas tried in the least to change her manner, her choice of friends, her language, 50 as to avoid irritating her hus- band when he let her see his dis taste, but instead she pursued her egotistical course of trying to live up to his level in her way with consequent failure.
 Secondly; it is clear illustra- tion of the folly of marrying just from sex attraction where there is mo harmony of personal character istics; in other words, person of refinement and taste marrying a person of boisterous vulgarity and no taste.
 Third; it is a clear illustration that there are and always will be class distinctions So long as hu- mans are not created equal. Most class distinctions are false, but this play shows that the real difference is internal and not external.
 Belle Bennett's acting. as the plebian mother is marvellous and every member of the superior cast did wonderful acting. It is play that we think everyone should see, both for entertainment and for the great deal that can be learned"

REPORTS RESULTS
IN BLISTER RUST FIGHT.

Excellent results are being obtained
in the department of agriculture's war
against blister rust in northern Minne-
sofa, according to an announcement
made Monday by Congressman VIII
liam A. Pittenger.
The department has been conducting
an extensive campaign in that section
of the state to eradicate the wild
currant and gooseberry bushes which
have been found to be alternate hosts
of the fungus which causes the des-
tructive blister rust. This rust has
proven blight to white and sugar
pine in the northern part Of the state
as well as in other states where a
similar war is being waged.
Under instructions of members Of
the department, according to the con-
gressman's report, owners of pine tracts
have been engaged in destroying wild
berry bushes this summer. It was
pointed out that the campaign is
meeting with much success and al
though it will be necessary to keep a
constant watch for several years, It
is believed by authorities that the
blister rust is pretty well under control
in northern Minnesota.
Congressman Pittenger, in his re-
port, gave credit for the work being
done by state officials who are CO.
operating with department of agri-
culture men, and to the owners of the
timber lands who are lending aid. He
said that but for this cooperation it
would be impossible to successfully
combat the destructive blister rust.

AN APPRECIATION.

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept 5, 1929.
Editor of the Ely Miner:
Dear Sir: ''For the past several
years Mrs. Roessel, myself and our
family have had a cottage in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Ely and we have
come in close contact with the people
of that city. There Is a spirit about
Ely that does not fail to impress you.
We are always glad to get there, and
sorry to leave it. Every merchant with
whom we have come in contact, and
they have been many, has been I'M
failingly courteous and has gone out
of his way to make our visit a pleasure
This applies not only to the merchants
but to the hotels and the people at
Ely generally. Wherever we turned and
with whomever we came in contact
there was that same unfailing courtesy
which makes our summer vacations
more than a real pleasure.
1t is mighty easy for people to criti-
else, but people don't generally stop to
give credit where credit is due. Mrs.
Roessel and both want to give full
credit to the people of Ely and to ex-
press our sincere appreciation"

A THREE HOLE TOWN.

Two Harbors has a wonderful start
for a golf course. Three holes are
completed and the interest that is
shown in the game shows that some
thing should be done to assure the
completion of the course before another
year rolls around. When towns like
Moose Lake, Cloquet, Biwabik, Tower
and Ely can have golf courses and
Two Harbors stays in the three hole
stage for three years, it doesn't speak
much for the public spiritedness OF
those who could complete the thing II
they but would. Two Harbors has
more bond-holders than any town OF
its size in the state, but the only
people who are willing to kick in to
make a town are the laborers who are
always the first to sign a petition for
improvements and who are right there
when it comes time to pay the bills.
Let's make Two Harbors a nine-hole
town.-Two Harbors Chronicle.

Whistler Didn't Hold Job

James Mcneil Whistler, famous
artist, once was a craftsman In the
United States coast and geodetic sur
vey, but he could not hold a job. The
painter and etcher insisted on deco
rating the maps and charts assigned
to him to make, with pretty little
drawings scattered along the margins.
Because of this and the fact that he
insisted on doing all his drafting in
his own way, Whistler did not remain
long in the service of the United
States government
