AMERICAN EXPORTERS
HARMED BY SOVIET OIL

New York.-The collapse of the
American oil industry with conse-
quent unemployment, has been aided
by the low prices of Russian and Ru-

cent.
Gasoline on the Black Sea, it is
stated, is selling for 31z cents gal
Ion. Export prices for American oil

5R cents.

Ancient Worms

Completely mummified worms, mill
lions of years older than the mum
mics at the Pharsohs, are on exhibit
in the Field museum, Chicago. Having
been imbedded In shaley rock, 1t goes
without saying that they existed when
the rock was formed. Ordinarily soft
bodied creatures decompose quickly,
so such ancient worm fossils are i'm
nensely interesting to biologists.
They reveal facts regarding times be-
fore backbones were developed.

plant for Ely in the very near future.

toned by several of the members and

PASTE THIS IN YOUR HAT.

When political prophets ask you to
vote for some new "Sure cure" for the
woes of the nation, read the following
sane remarks by David F. Houston and
thumb your nose at the professional
vote seeker who thrives at the tax
payers expense:
Some tell us that we are In a new
economic era and that the old econ
omic laws no longer apply. They told
us this in 1929. They tell us the same
thing in 1881. What they say now is
Just about as valid as what they said
then.
They tell us that our institutions
are menaced; that we must speedily
revolutionize them: and, that, if we
do not, something will get us, the re-
volutionist, the communist, or the
Soviets.
They tell us capitalism has failed
or Is on trial They do not tell us
what they mean by capitalism. Per-
hapS they do not know. We know
that capital is wealth saved to aid
labor in the production of further
wealth. That does not seem to be a
very dangerous thing. In fact, it
has been through hard producing
wealth and through self-denial re-
sulting In saving wealth that much of
the progress of the world has come.
"It is foolish to contrast capitalism
with communism or sovietism. There
is no such contrast. The real contrast
Is between liberty or freedom and in
dividual initiative and tyranny.
Some of them, ignorant of what is
really going on in Russia but much
impressed by propaganda, tell us that
Russia has plan and that we must
have a plan. They say that we must
have national plan and a national
planning board. What folly! What
men, or group of men, in this country
would know how to direct all, or many
of the leading activities of this great
nation; and who is so innocent as to
assume that, if they were to make a
plan, our people would follow it, unless
they could be made slaves? Certainly
the Federal Government could not for
mulate or direct such plan. 1t is
none too successful in diScharging its
constitutional functions. 1t cannot
even run routine business like the
Post Office without a deficit

with hay fever certainly are entitled
to receive some consideration in their
search for relief and for them to find
their only resting place harboring the
weeds most obnoxious to their irritable
membranes is hard to contemplate.
There are not many places in the
world in which the sensitive nose OF
the hay feverite will not find some
thing to sneezs at and If Duluth values
its immunity it will act on the clubs
protest. In fact, every city in Mime
sofa, whether the hay fever sufferers
object or not, could well spend some
time Graduating the weed and smoke
nuisance. These should be obnoxious
to every board of health or street de-
partment whether they have sensitive
nose or not Indianapolis Tribune.

FOUND THE MECCA FOR
HAY FEVER SUFFERERS

John D. Pults of College Corner
Ohio, who has spent the larger part OF
the summer here in quest of relief for
hay fever and which relief he found
according to his own story, returned
to his city last week. During his stay
here Mr.. Pulls received the Herald
from his home town and in return for
one of the items contained therein he
wrote the following letter to the Col
lege Corner paper which explains it
self better than we can. The letter
said:
To the Editor:
Received your good paper of Aug
u from the boys down at the bank
and note what you say on page 7-oc-
curred-"12 Years Ago This Week,
where the writer was spending his va
cation on the upper Peninsula OF
Michigan. I thank you for the very
kind remembrance.
Twelve years ago thereafter I am in
the most northern city of Minnesota
and as the guest of Judge Thomas al
the Rotary Club dinner last evening
held in the community hall, I told
them was something like the Man
Without a Country"
Each year 1 plan to go somewhere
to be absolutely immune from "hay
fever" and so far think I have found
the end of the trail. This is a wonder
full little city of about 5000 people
Fine ore mines, fine city hall and
wonderful schools.
Lakes everywhere and you can take
an airplane for $40 and go fishing
where it would take days otherwise
yet the time by plane is about 4C
minutes. 1t is very interesting.
The town of Ely has an elevation
above sea level of over 100 feet
Hence the fine climate for "hay fever
The south winds never have any effect
way up here. Fine hotel, so rooms
bath in nearly every room and plenty
of sunshine.
Not fishing this year. Playing some
golf so can take on my friends when
I return, such as Mr.. Elmer Bossert
and Mr.. L. G.. Samuelson. Wishing
you continued success with your good
paper, which is great booster for the
entire county.
remain, very sincerely,
