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

with a big 81" when it came
to achievements in athletics,
All Club work, recreation, iron
ore, climate and dozen or so
other things in addition to
swelling the trust funds of the
state with iron ore royalty, oc-
cupation, ad valorem and sew
eral other what-have-you taxes,
of which the southern end of
the state wots not. The papers
of the past week have been
filled with achievements of
which we are justly proud and
herewith tender our congratu-
lations to those so signally
honored.
First we wish to congratu-
late the range girl, Mary Teresa
Rico of Keewatin, as having
been voted the most represen-
tative girl in All work in the
United States at the Chicago
congress last week. Through
her club activities she worked
her way through school and
saved money for college. She
won her trip to the club con-
gress in Chicago, where the
highest honors came to her.
For ten years she has been
an active member and during
that time has earned $4,000
alone from participation in club
projects and championships.
She received the Sir Thomas
Upton trophy for the honor.
Monday, three Minnesota
youths emerged from the con-
gress at Chicago with individu-
al first prizes in the potato
exhibit. They were Norman
Helbaka of Embarrass with his
Green Mountains; Clarence
Ammundson of East Grand
Forks, and Edward Anderson
of Meadowlands, tied on Irish
Cobblers.
Considering that the congress
was participated in by All
members from all parts of the
United States, northern Mime
sofa comes out of the show with
more honors than any other
particular part of the country.
We may be small potatoes"
in the eyes of the south end of
the state rural population, but,
beat or tie these records.
Not satisfied with the All
honors, along comes Edwin H.
Berg of Ely City Hall fame, a
member of the state building
commission and gets Duluth
and range firms about $150,000
worth of material contracts for
the state office building on
which work was begun in ST.
Paul this week. The firms
sharing in the contracts are
the Universal Portland Cement
Company of Duluth; Luxor Tile
Company of Hibbing; Mime
sofa Radiator Co., Duluth /;
Marshall-W Co., Duluth !;
International Falls Acoustic
Tile; Cloquet roof insulation;
Minnesota Steel Plant, Duluth,
and the Sandstone Products
Co., Duluth.
Minnesota materials are to
be used in the construction of
the new building wherever
possible" said Mr.. Berg. "This
measure will provide consider
able relief in unemployment
circles throughout the state"
he said. The Ely Commercial
Club took up the matter of
our black pearl granite in the
building but other arrange
ments had been made for st.
Cloud granite and the architect
promised to give the Ely pro-
duct consideration in future
contracts. Northern Mime
sofa could have furnished
everything going into the mil
lion and a half dollar office
building without the least bit
of inconvenience. All this at

her husband before the report that

porter, testified that Mrs. Belue, in

did you do it?" several times after
he and the officers arrived Drs.
J. A. Oner, B. B. Edwards and H.
w. Kohl, summoned to the Belue
house by neighbors, testified as to
the cause Of death: gunshot wound,
apparently self-inflicted.
Mrs. Ruth Belue, wife of the
dead man, Mr.. and Mrs. A. H. Mel
son, Mr.. and Mrs. H. 3. Barr, and
Mike Serasio, neighbors who rushed
to the scene, all testified. Deputy
Sheriffs E. B. Keebey and George
Mcclure told of being called to the
scene. Keebey stated that Belue's
head showed no powder burns and
identified the revolver and bullet.
Coroner z. S. McEuen who went
to the Belue house Wednesday night
declared that no inquest was nee
essary. The hearing was granted
however, Thursday morning at the
request of the widow.

More Candy Eaten
Bu Americans in '29

Residents of the United States

age was 1906 pounds per person.
Total candy consumption in

NEW BUILDING c
OFF FOR WEEK

Slackening in the rate of school
and commercial building activity
in the past week reduced the ag-
gregate value of proposed en-
gineering announced throughout
the country to $42,416,000 for all
classes except highways. This
compares with $45,819,000 in the
preceding week and $172,015,000
in the corresponding week last
year, the McGraw-Hill Construc-
ton Daily reports.
While public work, industrial
and theater proposals recorded
gains over the week before the
apartment and hotel classification
was the only one showing ad-
vanceS over the previous week and
the same week last year. Sums in
volved in each group follow: In
dustrial buildings, $13, ,436, 600;
public work, $10,180,000; apart
ments and hotels, $4,O0O,000; edu-
cational buildings, $3.50, 900:
theaters, $3,25O,OOO; commercial
buildings, $590,0OO; hospitals,
$740, 900; unclasSified proposed
work, $6,710,000.
The largest piece of engineer
ing work announced during the
week involves the expenditure Of
$7,OO0,OOO for filling South Bay

Recently it has been making new
lows.
It continues true that the old

making a relatively poor show
ing. The inattractive prices at
which these stockS are held is
a great handicap TO market re-
covery.
Quite probably liquidation has
been taking place in this class Of

This would nicely explain the re-

Bullish News Falls Flat

be a "dud" on the market. Bull

nounced, and the copper stocks
closed lower. The motor show
ballyhoo did not seem to be
heard in Wall Street.
But cut in tire prices, or
report that oil prices were to be
cut, brings prompt response.
About the most one can say
is that there has yet been no
tendency to put heavy pressure
on the market. Maybe financial
interests will hold it up while
they get some distribution for
the heavy new bond issues now
coming out. I would not be sur
prisef to see a two-day recovery

regular movement.
But I would be surprised to
see the averages go through the

Tells Stockholders Slump
Is Over; Recovery Seen

The current depression has
reached a point where prices OF
commodities can be considered
practically at their low point, Ed
ward A. Delafield, president OF
the Bank of America, told stock
holders at the annual meeting
of the huge institution.
1--WE have confidence in the
future" he said, "fOr our studies
that if the business depression
has not passed its low point, it
has at least reached a level
where prices of commodities
can be considered practically at
their low point, and where the
buyer on a large scale can OBJ
tain goods at a rate so near the
actual cost, or even below cost,
that the matter of further de-
probation is no longer import
ant in his calculations.
ample funds are available to
the borrower for legitimate
business needs, and the basis
for an increase in general pros
perity is well established. Rates
for money are low"
In Liquid Shape
Outlining the banks activities
during the past year, Mr.. Della
field said that at the end of the
year a one-day liquid position of
78 per cent of its net demand
deposits was shown.
"The bank" he said, "after
contributing its share to the
dividend of $3.50 paid during
the year, was able to carry to
undivided profits S427 900. This
was possible partly because Of
an increase in deposits, and
partly because of a substantial
growth in the banks trust de-
partment, where the gross bust
ness for 1880 was almost double
that for the year previous"
