and Nearer My God to Thee were
rendered by the First Lutheran church
choir under the direction of Miss
Christine Herranen. The speaker of
the day, Hon. Curtis M. johnson of
Duluth, was then introduced. For
thirty minutes Mr.. johnson eulogized
the American soldier from 1776 to the
present day and paid glowing tribute
to the pioneers of the nation through
whose energy and blood it was made
possible for America to endure. Mr..
JohnSon'S address was maSterful and
patriotic espousal of the cause of
America during which he paid his re-
spects to the churches, schools and
homes which combined make the ma
ton the best in the world. His adj
dress was attentively listened to by
the large audience and was pronounced
one of the best ever delivered on such
an occasion.
The choir sang "a Land that Is
Fairer than Day. at the conclusion Of
Mr.. Johnson'S address. Rev. Father
Thomas Durkin then gave the bene-
diction after which all faced east and
stood with uncovered heads in silence
while L. NJ Brownell blew taps and
the firing squad fired the volleys.
After the "Star Spangled Banner" by
the band, the crowd dispersed.
AS a compliment to the police de-
partment and traffic officers it must
be said that they handled the crowd
and the large number of cars without
a hitch and without an accident to
mar the reverent occasion This phase
of the affair was the occasion of COM
remarks on the part of
visitors to the city and the cemetery.

LOW GRADE ORES
TO Be UTILIZED
FIVE YEARS OF EXPERIMENTA-
TION BRINGS LOW GRADE ORES
INTO RRO-MANGANESE PRO-
DUCTION.

New potentialities have been squeezed
from Minnesota's vast iron ore de-
posits through experiments announced
Friday at the University of Minnesota
and termed of tremendous impor-
lance to the steel industry.
Five years of experimentation have
brought commercial production Of
ferro-manganese metal, necessary u
the manufacture of high grade steel.
a step nearer realization and has
opened the door to possible utilization
of Minnesota's low grade ore deposits.
The work, directed by T. l. Joseph.
director of the North Central station
of the United States bureau Of mines
at the university, resulted, he disclosed,
in production of the first ferro-mang-
anese metal ever extracted from do
mestic iron ores bearing as little as
8 per cent manganese. From two tons
of ore, Joseph has obtained one ton Of
ferro- manganese in an 80-per cent
alloy.
Ninety-five per cent Of Americas
ferro- manganese is imported and
though production is not yet COM
mercially profitable due to the low
market on foreign ores, Joseph said.
the experiments have proven it pos
sible.
The experiments have opened q
hitherto unavailable source Of ferro-
manganese and future development OF
the process will determine whether the
steel industry, Joseph pointed out, can
can depend on America alone for this
material for steel manufacture instead
of relying on imports as now
I'VE use about $4,000 to 10000 tons
of metallic manganese a year in this
country" he said. "a 100000 tons
then would last from three to four
years and there are about four to five
billion tons of metallic manganese IN
Minnesota
A representative of the United States
army, travelling incognito, Monday wis.,
ted the north central station Of the
United States Bureau of mines Of the
University of Minnesota, presumably to
inspect the manganese project at the
station.
Describing his visit as one intended
to acquaint the government with the
details and results of the operations,
Major Hobley said it was made in the
interests of his Office whose duties in
clude the investigation of the use Of
industry in connection with the manu-
facture of military munitions in war
time.
No immediate significance was at
tached by Major Hobley TO the pro-
duction of ferro-manganese used in
making steel beyond the fact that It
would be important in wartime when
it might be difficult to import the ma
terial as the United States is forced to
do at present. Within the last fort
night the bureau Of mines station has
been successful in producing 6erro-
manganese from low grade ores In
Minnesota and experimenters are
working to facilitate the process.

More Airplane News.

A letter. received in Duluth from Leo
L. Knuti, principal of country schools
in the Aurora district, explains itself.
The letter reads:
Last Tuesday, we were agreeably
surprised to have an airplane land on
our farm at Aurora. The plane car
ried five Tulsa business men who are
engaged in the operation of gas pipe
line from the oil fields to the large
centers of population. They had come
here after reading some of the Arrow
head Association and Ely Commercial
Club literature advertising their air
port and out-of-door recreation facili-
ties. They had mistaken Tower for
Ely and had turned back to our farm
after not finding an airport at Tower.

The discovery of iron ore in the
southern part of the state will probably
cause that end of the commonwealth
to be a little more tolerant with the
northern section of the state in the
matter of taxes and Super-taxes. We
cannot consistently congratulate the
farmers upon whose lands the dis
covery was made. Should the attitude
of the south end of the state regarding
the northern ore end prevail, they will
be taxed off the face Of the earth in
short order 1t is expected, however,
that this find, if it turns out salts
factory, will change the view point of
the south end legislators whole lot.

While the fliers are to be congratu-
lated on having gone nine miles into
the air, the trip is designated as an
aerial Wickersham expedition which
only proved that man can live that far
up but did not present anything as to
why a man would want to live up
there. Bugs" Baer says two Europ-
can scientists went up in a balloon and
landed on a cake of ice and that this
sounds like the autobiography of leg
of lamb in butcher shop. Being in
Theoretically sealed basket, they saw

favorably with the expedition of the

Last week a dental protective ascot
alton was organized to stop the steal
ing of gold from dental offices. The
Duluth dentists were among the prin-
cipal organizers. Monday night six
dental Offices in Duluth were looted OF
$500 in gold and platinum, crowns and
plates. This probably was done in re-
taliation and to inform the dentists
that interfering with the racket would
not be tolerated.

Realty's Survival
In Slump Hailed
Kissell Says 1t Showed
Least Depreciation of
Any Securities.

A declaration regarding the stability
of real estate during depression periods,
made recently by President Harry S.
Kissell of the National Association OF
Real Estate Boards. has excited wide
comm endatio in realty circles nation
ally. John A. Petty. secretary Of the
Washington realtors body reports.
The part of Mr.. Kissell's statement
referred to In the comment by the
board secretary in the Washington
Realtor, publication of the local real
tors. is as follows:
According to Barron's of May 4.
1881, industrial stocks listed on the
New York Stock Exchange showed as
between their high of 1929 and their
low of May. 1891, depreciation of 81
per cent. Railroad stocks listed showed
a depreciation of 81 per cent, utilities
showed a depreciation of 81 per cent.
The 80 major stocks usually picked by
financial papers. namely, so industrials,
20 railroads and 20 utilities. showed a
drop of SIS per cent from their high.
The stock Of IL leading banks of one
of our largest cities showed an average
drop in the sale price of their stock.
between the high of 1929 and the low
of 1881 of So per cent"
The great criticism of real estate
is that 1t is frozen. that 1t is lacking
IN llQulUlCy. we dQIIllL we nave no
exchange on which We can throw our
real estate and get the money for it
within the hour, but we admit that If
you are willing to take the same de-
probation on real estate which stocks
have taken within the past two years,
in other words, If you are willing to dis
count your real estate from SIS per
cent. then the lack of liquidity begins
to fade away.
So fellow realtors. I urge you to de-
fend your commodity, hold it up as the
one thing which has stood like a rock
