DISABLED BUSY ON
CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

IF you could see how nervous it
makes disabled veterans in our Min
nesota Legion Auxiliary Poppy Work
shop in Minneapolis, when they have
to work under strain to get out rush
orders at the eleventh hour, you
would find some way of placing Christ
mas orders well in advance" said Mrs.
Alex Fraser of st. Paul in recent
message to the 400 Legion Auxiliary
units and 470 Legion posts of the state.
They are taking her advice she says,
and as result. these fifty boys will
be able to earn many extra dollars
making Christmas novelty gifts of all
kinds, without having to injure their
health by being driven to distraction
trying to complete too many orders at
the last moment. The Legion Auxili-
airy workshop is in the Boston Block.
Minneapolis. Legion posts and units
from all over the nation order safety
road signs, poppies, gifts, novelties, etc.
Mrs. Fraser is in charge of the work
room.

The movement toward branch bank
ing has attained considerable proper
tons in recent years. The big bankers
are trying to get congress to change
the banking laws so as to permit
branch banking. The arguments in
favor of permitting the big banks to
establish branches everywhere through
out the country are plausible but when
analysed they simply amount to an
appeal to permit the Capitalization of
banking wealth in the large cities,
We do not believe that the people
generally favor any such movement.
AS a matter of fact cancellations in
all lines of business have become a
good deal of menace. The last straw
would come when the banking bust
ness is centralized in few hands.
The coming session of the state legis-
lature should take up this matter of
branch banking and protect the people
by doing what can be done in state
way to prevent it.

The election for Mayor and three
Aldermen on Tuesday was rather
quiet affair insofar as active cam
paigning went. However, the under
current was turbulent in spots with
the result that a very large vote was
polled. 2,425 ballots were cast, or II
less than were cast in the state cleo
ton last month.
Charles Trezona, superintendent of
the Oliver Iron Mining Company on
the Vermilion Range was elected
Mayor by the largest majority ever
given any candidate for this office in
the city Mr.. Trezona at one time

ORE SHIPMENTS SHOW
DECREASE OF 18,621,424 TONS.

A total of 1855, 176 tons of ore was
shipped from the Lake Superior dis
trict to lower lake ports during the
1880 season, officials of the Pittsburgh
Steamship company have announced.
While this is a reduction of 1921
424 tons from the 65,204, 600 shipped
during 1929, the decrease was expected
and the tonnage is considered salts
factory in view of the general business
situation. The 1929 ore shipping
season saw all ore tonnage records
broken.
The figures given for the past sea-
son include ore shipments from all
docks. Individual ore shipments will
be available later, officials said.
The ore shipping season officially
closed at 1915 a. m. last Sunday, when
the NJ F. Leopold left the harbor with
the last ore cargo.

The knots are collected from the

impart delicious odor of pine. Hence
they have proved very popular as
substitute for the old time yule log.
So far the boys and girls who have
been collecting knots have been unable
to supply the demand in the Duluth
market alone, while Twin City de-
partment stores have been eager to
secure supplies. Mr.. Anderson be-
lieves the possibilities for developing
outlets to both private consumers and
retailers in this and other states are
practically unlimited Profits made by
the club members last year averaged
more than Is cents per half-bushel.

ing and were reelected by handsome
vote on Tuesday. Ivan Tauzell, the
new member of the council, also served
the city for several years. That their
administration was satisfactory was
proven by the rally the voters staged
in their behalf.
Notwithstanding the heavy vote
polle,. the judges and clerks in
the four precincts of the city had
their returns all in by midnight. At
the general election in November it re-
quired until the following midnight to
get the full returns. This was ac-
counted for in the length of the tic
ket and the large number of names
checked.
The total number of votes cast in
each precinct shows that there must
be re-districting and that more
polling places must be established.
While each precinct is above the num-
Der recommended by law, it would be
folly to establish four more precincts
but they could be SO arranged that
two more would assimilate the sur
plus and help out the dispatch in get
ting official returns in besides making
it more convenient for the judges and
clerks.
The election on Tuesday concludes
the balloting until next year in Dec
ember when three aldermen, a NUM-
cipal judge and special municipal
Judge are to be chosen. All those
elected to head the city government
are business men who have made
success of their own affairs and are
fully capable of making a success of
the affairs of the city.

and the ballots cast were as follows:

vania has attracted considerable at
tention to himself by his proposal to
suspend all immigration to this
country for term of two years as an
aid to American labor. However, his
proposal would permit the entry OF
immediate relatives of persons OF
foreign birth who have already en-
tered the u S. The existing quota
laws permit a total of 153,714 a year
from all European quota countries.
Under immigration restrictions at
present in force, only the best kind of
foreigners are allowed to enter and it
is a question, whether or not such a
measure would prove beneficial.

During the past few months the
papers have been full of Communist
riots and outlandiSh demands on the
heads of governments by these groups
in various parts of the land. Only a
week or so ago, the purely Duluth pro-
duct of this political ism" like Ma
poleon of old, marched "up the hill Ito
the city halD and then marched down
again" after having notified the mayor
that they wanted a million dollars to
tide them over the depression which
is alleged to exist. If it only requires
a million for the Duluth party to get
along, how much will it require in the
entire United States to appease the
Communists? 1t would be much
cheaper for the u. S. Government to
purchase one-way tickets for those dis
satisfied with the government of this
country and transport them safely to
their land of milk and honey, Russia,
where the system they propose to es-
tablish in this country, already pre-
walls.

Under the primary system of ballot
ing, anyone with the filing fee can get
on the ballot. The result has been
that court orders have been invoked
in many cases to keep unworthy ones
off the ticket. Over in Hibbing, two
worthy candidates desired to withdraw
their names from the ticket, which
the recorder, charged with the pre-
paration of the ballot, refused to do.
A court order, however, was secured
and the names did not appear.
We are told that the Withdrawals
were made in the interest of harmony
but on the contrary precipitated a
very bitter fight One faction had two
candidates in the field for mayor and
trustee and the other only one each.
One of the candidates for the two
offices on the first ticket wished to
withdraw in order to give their ticket
a chance. The recorder who is
member of the other faction refused
to strike their names. Hence the
court order Dr. Weirick for mayor
and Larry McCabe for trustee were
those who stepped out in favor of A.
l. Egge and Carl Aura who are OPP
posed by Helmer Frankson and Gus
Wellner. Some aver that this is not
the end but in the interests of all con-
cerned, and especially the Biggest
Village" we hope the fight was over
after election.

,On This
!, Occasion
) Just a few thoughts py the Editor
} on things Material and Immaterial.

The anti-freeze people are sending
out ream after ream of free plopa-
ganda stating that their mixtures are
the cause of the striking increase in
the number of automobiles used the
year round. This is news to the
county commissioners of northern
counties; the manufacturers of snow
blowing material; the state highway
departments; the municipal govern
ments and other agencies charged
with keeping highways in winter free
of snow and in condition for travel.
The anti-freeze mixtures are great
help but are not all that makes for
pleasant winter travel. If roads were
not kept open, where would the count
less mixtures get off at?
