RANKS HIGH AS
FARCE COMEDY.

An epidemic of giggles and outlaws
broke out on the Pathe lot recently.
And it wasn't confined to the comedy
department either! AS a matter of
fact it was traceable to the Office of
Russell Mack, but spread rapidly with
the circulation of scripts on Lonely
Wives" which Mack directed and will
be on view at the Opera House on
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
Lonely Wives" is said to set a new
high laughter mark in screen farce.
All who attended a preview of the
production proclaim it the fastest
farce they have ever SEEN The dial
ogue keeps pace with the lightning
tempo of the situations and unless a
lot of expert production heads miss
their guess, this picture is soon going
to have the whole world talking.

just few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

Demand has been made by the Post
Office Department that all newspapers
furnish them with list of subscribers
who are more than two months In
arrears. Newspapers are prohibited
from extending credit on subscriptions,
whether you are good or bad. Larry
Ho in the st. Paul Dispatch says:
Most everyone else is permitted to
grant credit but if the publisher does
it he is penalized for his civic spirit
in not pressing his worthy neighbor.
In consequence of the orders from
headquarters, we are sending out sub
Scription accounts and sincerely trust
the same meet with your prompt ap-
proval. If unable to liquidate your
account at this time in full, send us
note as to when we may expect it.
Our list must go on cash basis.
Regardless of whether we desire or
not, we are strictly prohibited from
extending credit under the postal laws
for subscriptions Therefore we must
ask you to help us out in this matter.
Not content with dabbling into the
printing business by selling stamped
and printed envelopes for less money
than we are compelled to pay for the
blank stock, we are hedged about with
reports on this, that and the other
until we are almost compelled to en-
gage a notary public by the year in
order to swear to requested statements.

Representative Hitchcock in his eX-
cellent Hibbing Daily Tribune and in
his personal comment column in a
recent issue gave expression to the
following:
The bill to give Ely a representa-
tive in the legislature all by itself
seems to have floundered. The scheme
was a bit fantastic anyhow, and we
wondered when the plan was proposed
whether the thickly populated southern
part of the district would go through
to the end with that beautifully un-
selfish plan to give the thinly peopled
northern end of the district a repre-
sentative all by itself. Things just
aren't done that way in practical poll
tics. The best guess now is that April
% will come and go with the sixty
first district unchanged
Practical politics" is surely a mis-
homer, the word practical being OBJ
solete in this connection. We have
been the victim of politics in our sec
ton of the district ever since we can
remember. At one time we were
"shoestringed" with Duluth as the
shiny end of the district Then along
comes reapportionment in 1913 and we
were again 'shoestringed" with Vir-
GINA and Eyeleth on the shiny end.
The practical part of the bill intro
duced to give us representative all
our own on the Vermilion was lost
sight of in politics" played but the
fact still remains that it would have
been fine gesture on the part of the
legislature to have given us the men,
Der asked for. Our representatives,
MeSSrs. McGhee and Anderson were
willing and practical but politics
said nix on that stuff

ST. Louis County has been given
authority to build an auxiliary hospital
costing up to 100000 somewhere on
the iron ranges. This is step in the
right direction and the building of
such an institution will probably kind
of mitigate some of the division rancor
left after the late fiaSco. It is lucky
that the proponents of the bill speci-
fed the ranges for the hospital. 1t
will now be up to the Mesaba range
cities and towns to organize another
war among themselves as to the loca-
ton of the institution. The Vermilion
range will not be in the running in
the contest to be developed as we have
been served with boycott notice on
the part of the Virginia county division
club that we need not expect anything
and that if we did expect anything, We
would not get it.
Nothing daunted, however, over what
we consider so much hookum peddled
by few who promised things they had
no power to deliver, the Miner would
suggest to the County Commissioners
that the Vermilion range, and Ely es-
pecially, is properly located for just
such an institution. Our clear, pine
laden atmosphere, pure drinking water,
sleep producing nights and scenic
beauties are particularly suited for the
recuperating patient. We make this
suggestion in all candor and feel that
the location on this range of the hos
pital would save much battle on the
part of the MeSaba range towns and
cities. We are perfectly satisfied to
have the institution on this range and
there will be no fight between Ely,
Tower, Winton or Soudan over it's
location at either of these places
Think it over.
Should Ely be chosen as the location
of the hospital, we can also guarantee
a building of the greatest value for the
amount appropriated. Our record for
building was established when we
built and equipped a quarter million
dollar city hall for approximately
s175,O0O Such things are done here
This may be just another fantastic"
scheme as Representative Hitchcock of
Hibbing would say, but we know it can
be done. Our valuations are such that
we are compelled to talk and act in
hundreds and thousands while in some
towns on the ranges, millions are
banded about, just so easy.

EASTERN CREW
 WILL COMPETE WITH WASH. U
Yale Sending Oarsm en, First from East, for
 Seattle Race

SEATTLE, June 12.-The first east west crew race ever to be held on the Pacific coast will be rowed here June 16 by the 150-pound eights of Yale university and the University of Washington on Lake Washing ton.
 The race will be the same day as the Poughkeepsie Regatta in which the Washington varsity and freshman boats will compete on the Hudson river.
 Crews of Washington and Califor- mia have competed in the east for a number of years, but never has an eastern boat journeyed to the Pa cific coast.
 Don Grant, 150-pound coach at Yale and former Washington cox swain, suggested the idea to Coach Alvin Ulbrickson of Washington and formal invitation was issued which Yale accepted.
 Ulbrickson hired his last years captain, warren DAVIS, and the fOr- mer varsity bow oarsman started moulding Washington's first 150- pound crew. The race will be over mile and five-sixteenths course.
 The Husky lineup will likely be: Ed OBrien, stroke; George Dibb.e, No 2; Marshal Dutton, No. 6; George Spence, No. 5; Bill Chase, No. 4; Jack Shaw, No. 3; Nick Nichols, No 2; Jim Walthew, bow, and Cliff Armstrong, coxswain.
 Three or four of the oarsmen have had varsity training, but none has had racing experience.
 The Eli crew will use a Washing ton shell and oars.
 Washington officials hope to make the race an annual event.

ALASKA SEEN
 AS W0RL DIS
 PLAY GROUND
Western Pacific Officials Say Railroads Have
 Good Outlook

Alaska, like California, ought tc be a Mecca for tourists said Reg inald T. Kearney, in charge of the electrically operated units Of the Western Pacific Railroad, with headquarters in San Francisco He is a round-trip passenger on the steamship Admiral Rogers, which was in port last night. This northern territory" he de- ,clared, s"should be the summer, as the southern commonwealth is the winter, resort of those fortunate irdividuals who, like the birds of the air, change their habitat with the seasons.
 Advantages Unrivallcd
 The scenic grandeurs, the huns- ing and fishing opportunities of this part of the country are un- rivalied. Alaska, some day, will be one of the great summer play grounds of the world"
 Railroads are on the threshold of improved business, in the opinion of MT. Kearney.
 They have been subjected to un- just regulations that hampered op- erations, while competing enter prises, such as motor truck and motor bus companies and pipe lines. have been left free Of all re- straints, and thus have been able to offer destructive competition.
 Insist In Fair Treatment
 Railroads at last are insisting on fair treatment from the public ser vice commissions of the several states, and the demands of the rail transportation systems for the most part have the support of pub lie opinion.
 The outlook for railroads now is better than it has been in a long time"

Wrong Time to Water

Unscrupulous poultry dealers have
been known to feed chickens sand
and gravel to increase their weight,
but here's a new one. An agent of
the federal food and drug admins
tration visited q wholesale poultry
house and found that dressed chick
ems were being given hypodermic
injections-of water. A hose ter
minating in a follow needle was
used. Eocr bird received several
ounces of water, which was gradu-
ally absorbed. This increased the
weight and made the scrawny bird
look plumper. Though federal agents
could not interfere, since the chick
ems were not shipped interstate,
state officials later seized the profit
making hose and fined the dealer.

pL]\IL. Try T
BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
FOR POULTRYMEN
Price of Eggs Everywhere on
the Increase.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture )-WNU Service.
With the price of corn and wheat
lower than it has been for several
years and the price of eggs on the
increase, the outlook for the poul-
try industry appears brighter, in the
opinion of DR.. NJ. A JUL, poultry
specialist of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.
Another point in favor of the
poultry man is that heavy culling of
farm flockS reduced the number of
laying hens y about 20,000,000. Or
dinarily these hens would not be
culled out until the fall, but last
spring farmers were interested
more than usual in saving feed bills.
Still another factor which makes
the future look brighter for the poul-
try industry is the fact that there
were fewer chicks hatched last
spring than usual. This is particu-
larly true of early hatched chicks.
so that the early fall production of
eggs fell short of last years supply,
with increases in prices.
Doctor JUL believes the immedi-
ate future of the poultry industry to
be fairly good, particularly for those
who produce eggs and high-quality
poultry for market, for hatchery
men who produce high-quality
chicks, and for farmers and CONNER
cial poultrymen who give their
flocks the best management and who
practice efficient culling.
