,On This
Occasion
Just a few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

The government circular on Breeds
of Swine" is very interesting doc
ument for the hog farmer. There is
one breed which the circular fails to
mention. This bird is sired by No
body and damned by EVERYBODY and
is known as the Road Hog" Those
who have occasion to drive on public
highways occasionally meet up with
this breed and are quite well ac-
quainted although not listed in the
government brochure on swine. One
of the greatest of these is the one
using through streets as race course
in reckless manner without thought
for the car coming in from side
street. The city council and other
authorities have stringently regulated
the motoriSt unfortunate enough to be
compelled to use the side streets and
it would now be fine idea to kind
of put the brakes on the fellow who
imagines that through streets were
thus designated to give him an oppor-
tunity of testing out the speed of his
car.

FINANCIAL HELP
WILL Be EASIER
SECRETARY HOTALING SAYS TEN
THOUSAND LAKES ASSOCIA-
TION FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
WILL BE EASIER TO GET THIS
YEAR ON ACCOUNT OF IN
CREASED BENEFITS.

Reused to the necessity of placing
Minnesota squarely in the spotlight of
the nation, the appeal of the Ten
Thousand Lakes-Greater Minnesota
Association for increased financial
support in 1880 will receive hearty re-
sponse, according to H. G. Hotaling,
secretary of the Association, who de-
clares that the whole state is alive to
the benefits to be derived from in
creased activities on the part of the
Association.
Typical Of newspaper comment over
the state is an editorial in the Crooks
ton Daily Times last week in which
D. A. Mckenzie urges that residents
of Polk County rally to the support
of the Association.
"The Ten Thousand Lakes Greater
Minnesota Association is doing a mil
lion dollar job on a $500 dollar ap-
propriationR the editorial states
"And what is more" the editorial con-
tinues, "the Association is showing re-
suits running into millions. 1t is
proper and fitting that this organ
ization should receive full and COM
plete support from Polk County.
During a period Of thirteen years
we have received thousands Of dollars
in income as the result of the act
ivities of this greatest of all Minnesota
boosters. 1t is just about time that
we pay off the Indebtedness by taking
out memberships in the organization
and using our influence to secure a
larger state appropriation to finance
its ever increasing activities.
Practically the full burden of at
tracing tourists, settlers and new in
dustries rests with this association and
the results its activities are accomp-
fishing are amazing. This year, in
addition to jealous endeavor to in
crease the number of tourists by 100,-
600 the Association will wage strong
campaign to bring new manufacturing

The compilation Is. based on an an
nual mileage Of 11.000. Some of the
items, such as garage, interest, in
surance and license, are the same re-
gardless of how much the car is used.
If the car is used only $500 miles a
year, the cost per mile for these items
would be doubled.
BY "high type" roads are meant
roads of concrete or other material not
affected by moisture or drought, Sin
termediate" types are roads which are
graded and graveled to modern stand
ards, and "low type" roads include
earth roads and gravel roads which are
not properly graded and drained.

Many Frigidaires Shipped.

Less than two weeks after launching
a million dollar newspaper advertising

To further our contention that res
idence in the virile health giving
climate and association with real
people for which Ely is noted, fits the
ordinary mortal to be something more
than a drone in the beehive Of the
worlds industry or politics, we can cite
the case of Gerhard Bundle, who was
elected mayor of st. Paul week ago
with an overwhelming majority over
one of the most popular men in the
Sanity City. What we are trying to
tell you is that the new mayor of st.
Paul was teacher in our schools
during the 1913-14 school year, holding
the position of science instructor in
the High School, then under the super
vision of H. E. White. The schools
that year had an enrolment of 1898,
about half of what it is today. Since
that time he has become one Of st.
Paul's best known attorneys.

HIGHWAY SIGN LAW APPLIES
TO POLITICAL ADVERTISING.

With the primary campaign in full
swing, and the general election cam
paign soon to follow, Highway
bulletin calls attention to several pro-
visions of the law covering advertising
signs which apply to candidates
Posting of advertising signs Of any
character on the right-of- way of any
highway is prohibited by law. EN-
ployes of the State Highway depart
ment will remove signs placed on
trunk highways, and county and town
road officials have the same authority
on secondary roads.
The use of stickers, banners, cards,
or anything which will obscure the
vision, on the windshield, rear win
dow, or front side windows, is pro-
hibited by the traffic act. The only
exception is legal permits, such as
visitors permit. Posters may be used
on the rear side windows.
Signs fastened on the front or rear
OF any car must be so placed that they
do not cover up the license numbers.
The license plates must be visible at
all times, front and rear.

Owing to the fact that the Yer
million Range was not desirous of put
ting up candidate as target for
the Mesaba range towns to shoot at,
no one was chosen for the legislature
at the coming election and it was de-
cided to support any candidates who
would work for change in the 61st
district elections so as to assure one
member of the legislature for this
range in the future. An amendment
to the district election laws making 1t
mandatory to elect man from the
Vermilion will do the trick This
would give the Mesaba range end of
the district two men and the Vermilion
end one. An informal meeting was
held at Virginia last week and it was
decided to support r. H. McGhee Of
Virginia and Ray Anderson Of Gilbert
for the legislature. No candidate for
senator was endorsed at the meeting
which was attended by delegates from
the towns and cities in the district.
Some wag at the convention stated
that there were no delegates from
Eveleth at the meeting as nearly every
man in town had his eye on seat in
the legislature or the senate. This
may have been perpetrated as joke.
but it is no joke Eveleth certainly
wants to get into the state capitol
next winter.

A prominent man in a recent ad-
dress stated that he thought wages
ought to be higher and goods cheaper.
The most of us agree with this. Sew
eral other things are needed such as
cooler weather in the summer and
warmer weather in the winter and like
the small boy we would say, have the
sun shine more at night when we
need it and not so much in the day
time when it is light anyway" If
the gentleman can tell us how to make
wages higher and goods cheaper at the
same time, he would be a wonder.

Postmaster General Brown reports
an increase in the sales of postage
stamps in 100 American cities last
month. He is now of the opinion
that if Congress would allow him to
raise the price of letter postage from
two to two and half cents, he could
keep his department out of the red.
We have a suggestion to make. Quit
printing government stamped envel-
opes at a loss and charge Congress
with postage instead of franking tons
and tons of campaign literature
through the mails. In our opinion
this would cut down the deficit and
make the department self sustaining.
Also, quit spending mint of money
on the delivery of mail order packages
for which postage has been paid to the
postoffice and not for delivery miles
into the country and for which trucks
and men are maintained in almost
every city of the land. We don't sup
pose P. M. Gen. Brown will pay any
attention to these suggestions but we
make them for the good of the service
and try to keep the much bedeviled
business man from again being made
the goat in this matter.

BONDS UNCHANGED
IN QUIET TRADING
Investment Interest Shown
in Select Group of Rails
and Foreign Issues.
BY DONALD c. BOLLES,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE price
level of bonds on the New York Stock
Exchange was little disturbed by the
quiet trading today. Investment inter-
est was displayed in a select group of
railroad and foreign bonds and these
issues showed to the greatest advantage.
moderate advances being recorded in
the early dealings.
Prices throughout the rest of the list
held close to yesterdays closing, with
investment issues maintaining a firm
trend Turnover of stock privilege is
sues was reduced with slight tendency
to rise apparent. United States Gov
ernments were steady.
Legal railroad issues have suffered
from a lack of offerings this week, but
the high levels previously established
have been well maintained and here
and there fractional advances have been
made. Today AtchiSon As, Chesapeake
& Ohio AIS and Southern Railway As
moved upward on thin sales. Pennsyl-
vania AIS, legal issue, prof1ted from
a good inquiry, as did Canadian Pacific
debenture As, the two being about the
most active in the rail group. Chicago
Great Western Is, Colorado & Southern
AIS and Gulf Mobile & Northern SIS
held firm. Seaboard Air Line, one of
the most volatile rails, rose more than a
point, but is only above its years low
price.
Among railroad convertibles st. Paul
adjustment IS advanced almost a point
and other popular issues held a firm
trend.
Sharp fluctuations in warrant issues
advanced Loews IS "a points and car
ried Pathe rs down about the same dis
lance. Texas Corporation IS and
Transcontinental Oil 61as were moder-
ately active and practically unchanged
Standard utility issues were steady to
firm, with American Telephone SIS OF
1860, the 51as Of 43, and Pacific Gas &
Electric IS steady. Consolidated Gas
51as, New England Telephone 41as, Pub
lie Service IS and Utah Power & Light
SIS were firm.
Japan 512s were well bought and tend
ed higher. Lautaro Nitrate warrant IS
gained about u point, and except fol-
some irregularity in the South Ameri-
can issues, the foreign bond market
showed q constructive trend. Belgian
issues were the most active among
Western European governments, the 8s
rising and the 6s holding steady.
The new Austrian z per cent loan
has not yet appeared in trading on the
Stock Exchange. A slight oversubscrip-
ton for the $25 900 900 American por-
ton of the SIS 100000 issue was an
nounced by the Offering syndicate. The
first report from abroad, coming from
London, said that about 10 per cent OF
the loan remains unsold.

'4,O)D,O)O IN GOLD :
| SHIPPED TORRANCE
Yesterdays Consignment Is
First to Leave United States
Since Last January.
BY PRESTON s. KRECKER.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. July II (C.P.A).-Gold
exports to Europe, which have been i'm
pending for nearly two weeks. became
a reality at midnight Wednesday when
a shipment of $4,000. 900 went to France
by fast steamer. The margin of profit
on gold shipment to Europe at cur
rent franc exchange rates is so small
moment the gold leaves New York and
when 1t arrives at Paris counts. This
is truly case where time is money.v
This shipment is the first American
gold TO be exported to Europe since
early in January, when $8,497 900. was
withdrawn for shipment. Just how
much will 60 forward on this move
ment is question on which no two
bankers seem to agree. The demand
for French exchange is so broad and
the market so firm that it is quite
possible the movement will reach sub
stantial proportions. The suggestion is
made that altogether France NAV take
upward of $50,000,000 before the de-
mand subsidies.
The profit on shipment at current
rates of exchange is very small. with
the result that few bankers find it
worth while. On the other hand, should
the franc appreciate further in value
1t would Immediately become so proflta-
BILE to export gold that many firms
doubtless would engage the precious
metal for export and bring the total
movement up to important figures.
The future market for the French
franc therefore has become a, question
OF moment to international bankers.
Probably it would be possible to make
definite predictions If the reasons for
the movement were thoroughly underS
stood. France has been accommodating
gold for many months and today that
| country has the second largest gold re-
! serve in the world. It's hoard is ex-
ceeded only by that Of the United
States. The latest figures on the
French gold reserve indicate that It d
more than 81 100 ,000,O 900. -
This accumulation has gone on de-
spite insistence that the Bank, OF
France is not seeking to build I'D its
gold reserves. It has persisted notwitl-
standing the fact that the French
bank rate was for while the lowest ia
the world and still is as low as any
other at az per cent. For month";
France has drained London of its gold.
until in self-defense the Bank of Enr-
land placed obstacles in the way Of
French gold buyers. Now Paris is turns
! ing to the United States for the metal.

MOTOR ACTIVITIES
' REACH Low TIDE
Ford Plant Vacation Cuts
Production to Smallest
Volume of Year.
BY DAVID j. WILLIE.
Associated Press Stan Writer.

DETROIT. July 17.-Manufacturing
activity in the automobile industry is at
probably its lowest point OF the year as
the result Of the closing down OF the
Ford Motor Co; plants for two weeks
vacation period. With the Chevrolet
Co. the Ford interests have been ac-
counting for more than half the total
nroduction and sales Of the industry so
far this year. The suspension Wnlcn
began last Saturday, and the restricted
production schedule of many otner
companies, consequently means that the
industry as a whole Is producing very
few cars this month. In the Detroit
district the shutting down of the Ford
plants affected more than 100000
workers.
The possibilities for development IN
the export phase Of the automobile In.
dustry continue to- occupy a large part
of the interest of automotive executives.
NO small part of this interest continues
to center around the effect the new
tariff law may have on overseas busl-
ness. In some quarters allied with the
automobile industry the belief Is ex-
pressed that much of the immediate
future development of the industry must
depend upon expansion OF the business
in foreign fields.
The industry's leaders realize that in
the domestic field they have supplied
the motor car Tor approximately every
four persons in the United States and
that the registration of automobiles
shows the United States has three
times as many as all the rest of the
world combined. The figures, however,
are as of January last, and sales ex-
ecutives of the industry point out that
thousands of cars that should have been
replaced were carried over into 1880
registry because of business conditions
and lack Of employment.
Reports in circulation for some time
that Buick would present a complete
line of eight-cylinder models this SUM-
Tner were confirmed with the announce
Tnent that the new cars would be IN
PRODUCED on July IS. Although the an
nouncement gave no details, 1t Is under
stood that with the introduction OF the
sirht-cylinder model Buick plans 10
discontinue production on all OF its SIX
cylinder types. a
THE new Chrysler models announced
several weeks ago will be formally pre-
sented this week end. Barring new
model Packard, introduction OF the new
chrysler and the new Buick mooeIs
will virtually clean up the new types
10 be brought out this Summer.
