M Radio.
tBy Ann Anderson, Nopemingo

I cannot 60 into the world
To share its life as others do
My little flag of strength is furled
Earths pageantry I cannot view
But as upon my bed lie
Or sit within my easy chair
A thing of wires and tubes close by
Brings beauty to me on the air.
I hear the voices Of the great
Statesmen and potentates and kings
I case to fret about my fate
AS unto me an artist sings
Within my little room there come
The tramp of soldiers far way
The sound of bugle and of drum
The stirring games our champions
play.
I cannot see 1t but know
What's done upon life's battle line
Into my room there come and go
The gifts of all the great and fine
Now by the magic of the air
Come friends I've made, I'll never see
Who comfort me in my despair
And they are very real to me
I've but to turn my dial around
And my small room is filled with song
Or wisdom tender and profound
Which shorten time once bleak and
long
And only one like me struck low
And shut from all earth's changing
scenes
Can even sense or even know
How much the thing called Radio"
means.

| ccc and NRA
Secretary of Arrowhead Esti.
mates II, 900 Men Engaged
In Forest Work.

Nearly eleven thousand men housed
in sixty-six camps are now employed
in forest conservation work in North
eastern Minnesota according to figures
compiled by George A. Perham ,execu-
tive secretary of the Minnesota Arrow
head Association, from official sources
Present estimates are that 81 900 more
men can be placed under the new civil
works division.
The U. s. Forest Service in the SUI
perior National Forest has Is G. G. c.
camps with 1000 men; 10 N I. R. A.
camps with $50 men, 81 land examiners
and eleven on the staff, a total OF
1928 men.
In the Chippewa National Forest the
U. S. Forest Service has IA c. C. c.
camps with 1890 men; IL N. I. R. A.
camps with 470 men, land examiners
and staff, 80, total of 1900.
In the Chippewa National Forest the
U. S. Forest Service has IA G. G. c.
camps with 1890 men; II N. I. R. A.
camps with 40 men. land examiners
and staff, 80, total of 1900.
Not counting three camps in counties
farther west, the State Forest Service
has Is Forest Camps with 200 men
each, or 1900.
The figures total 10,723 men but the

The 81 900 to be provided jobs under
the Civil Works division are allocated
as follows: Superior National Forest,
$500; Chippewa National Forest, $500;

Present plans contemplate using the
forest service as reservoir of workers
to be turned over to Counties and
municipalities according to their de-
mands, and later to fill up the forest
services to a total of 21,000, which
added to the 1000 under previous

Harlem Globe TrOtters
To Meet Ranger Quint.
BY "Shammy. Somrock.

Those Glowing, trick shooting and
dazzling opponents Of real basketball,
the Harlem Globe Trotters, will again
show their wares to the court fans of
this city, according to Frank GerIn,
manager of the Ranger A. c., who has
scheduled the dusky lads to play here
December is against the Ranger team
Combining an expert passing game
with Skillful shooting and a mixture
of tricks that make them the peer of
all travelling basketball teams, the boys
from Harlem are all set to show the
fans of this city some basketball
wizardry that will astound the spec
tators with their perfect execution and
almost impossibleness.
In letter from A. NJ Saperstein to
the Miner sports writer, the manager Of
the Globe Trotters states that the
colored boys have some new tricks in
the way of unique basketball ex-
hibition that will leave no doubt as to
the greatness of his team in the matter
of being the foremost basketball ex-
hibitionists in the world today.
Those who have seen the Globe
Trotters in action readily agree that
they are the smoothest functioning
and most graceful team ever to appear
in Ely. Skilled in floor technique and
having an ability to relax at times, the
Globe Trotters take things easy for
awhile and then go into a lightning
like action at the opportune moment to
give both their opponents and the
fans one of the most brilliant ex-
hibitions of basketball to be seen any,
where.

basis. Public hearings on COM
plants of profiteering will be
taken up by General Johnson
on December IL, and something
will follow the thousands of
complaints so far entered.
Those made in good faith will
be investigated but those made
by anonymous "kickers" will
be tabled or referred back to
the compliance committees in
the several cities and towns of
the country, it is stated.
From all over the country
come assurances that the new
deal is furnishing sufficient in
dications of ultimate recovery
under the NRA. The Presi-
dent stated at the outset that
"our troubles will not be over
tomorrow, but we are on our
way" 1t is stated that what
we need is not extremists,
either ballyhoo boys or mourn
ers, but Americans with pa
tience, firm in the faith of re-
covery. The last report re-
ceived by the Miner shows some
interesting figures.
1t shows that upwards of
100000 men have been re-
turned to living wage; that
total pay rolls in the reporting
factories increased from ST.
156,000,000 last March to
$1,468,000,000 in September, a
rise of about 80 per cent.
Prices have risen IL per cent,
thus reducing the net wage
raise to Is per cent. An in
crease of 27.9 per cent in the
employment index from a year
ago is recorded with an attend
ant rise of 43 per cent in fac
tory pay rolls which amounts to
$40,000,000 more in weekly
envelopes. Auto sales in
creased $50 per cent; wool
210; cotton lis; pig iron 245
per cent. Business failures
fell from 503 in the last week
of October 1892 to 257 for the
same week in 1888, compared
with the five-year average of
457 per week for the period of
1928-1932.
No one claims that the NRA
is an ideal situation but even
the most pessimistic must admit
that under its provisions, fur
Their assisted by the PRA, AAA,
and several other capital letter
provisions, much has been ac-
complished and more will be
accomplished if everyone puts
his shoulder to the wheel and
does his part. And remember,
you all signed up to do just
that very thing. There is not
a particle of doubt but what
you will be called upon to pay
just what you signed up for.
Ever sign a note? The govern
ment can be tough when it
wants to be. Remember the
food administration measures
during the war? These soldier
boys will tell you that these
hard-boiled Generals are no
"sissies." Let's not get mixed
up with them by Sinking our
duties as Americans.
