the relief administration. Samuel
Levy. Manhattan, said he felt he
could not vote against the April ap-
preparation to relieve suffering of
human beings when monkeys in the
city zoo were receiving adequate
medical care and food. George U.
Harvey, Queens, warned that he
would not vote for the May budget
unless relief methods were changed
drastically. James j. Lyons, The
Bronx, joined in the criticism.
Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia de-
Tended the relief program. He con-
tended the city had more to show
for its relief dollar than any other
community.

some of these projects set up to give
college people relief. I see nothing
ridiculous in giving relief to people
who need it. College graduates are

Col. William j. Wilgus, director
OF the works division of the relief
bureau. also defended expenditures,
arguing that the taxpayer was get

His thesis was that work was done

Northwest Hunters
POndering On the
Three-SheU Limit.

Northwest hunters with repeating
shotguns were bordering on the
problem raised by President RoOse-
velt's order prohibiting hunters from
having more than three shells in
their guns at one time.
The order, signed by the Presi-
dent Saturday on the recommended
ton of the United States biological
survey, amends federal hunting reg
ulation so that shotguns or other
weapons in the hands of hunters
may have only three shells at one
time. If guns have larger magazines
these must be filled with unremov-
able plugs or cut down.
The order for the three-shell gun
was in accordance with the plans of
J. N. Ding Darling, well known
newspaper cartoonist, who is now
chief of federal wild life work.

COUNTY CLUB
RECOMMENDS
LEGISLATION
Legislative Committee of the St.
Louis County Club Met at
Eveleth Thursday.
PETITION SOLONS
Seed Loans, Deer Season, Fish.
ing License Fees, Water
Levels are Discussed.

The Legislative Committee of the st
Louis County Club and Farm Bureau
met at the Park Hotel at Eveleth on
Thursday evening and talked over some
weighty matters to come before the
legislative session now on and made
recommendations regarding some OF
these subjects.
Those present at the meeting were
members of the committee from the
Civic and Commerce section of the club
They were George A. Perham, G. c.
Carlson, August Neubauer, William F.
Haenke and Herman T. Olson. Sew
eral members of the committee were
unavoidably detained and could not be
present.
The first matter taken up for dis
cussion was the Seed Loan Law. This
brought out the urgent need of the law
which has expired. The secretary was
instructed to write Senators Shipstead
and Schal and Congressman Pittenger
asking them to work for additional ap-
preparations to care for the late ap-
plications under the Bangs Disease
law tests and for which appropriations
made are now exhausted, leaving sew
eral applications in this county Enacted
on.
Poultry improvement law, sheep ano
dog law, deer season, fishing license
fees and lake water levels came in for
a fair share of discussion. These mat
tiers were gone into at length and many
phases brought out which could not be
embodied in the bills to be acted on.
The Potato Law came in for large
share of the attention of the commit
tee. 1t was pointed out by the men,
bers that at the present time there is
altogether too much Misrepresentation
among the dealers in potatoes, more
especially truckers of this commodity
It seems that truckers buy potatoes
from the farmers and then in reSelling
them misrepresent the grades, working
an injustice on Minnesota potatoes
Minnesota potatoes at the present time
do not enjoy the good reputation to
which they are entitled because of the
fact that there is no law governing the
grading and selling.
The committee went on record in
favor Of potato law which has the
backing of the Minnesota Farm Bur.

ON THIS
OCCASION
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

From the Minnesota State
Farm Census report issued by
the State Department of Agri-
culture we learn several things.
Figures show that there are
more farms in st. Louis county
than in any other county in the
state, except Otter Tail county.
Out of 1888 farms in this
county, 5000 are owned by the
occupant and 1877 are rented.
We would respectfully ask
southern Minnesota papers to
please notice that our nearest
competitor as to the number of
farms is Otter Tail county with
6,493 of which 1878 are rented
and 1920 are owned by the oc-
cupants. This gives our county
$40 more home owned farms.
For a county noted for its
ability to furnish the state with
ready money through iron ore
and a dozen or more taxes
levied against the mining in
dustry of which the strictly
agricultural counties are not

Hibbing Paper Says Coach il
Out to Even Old Account;
Miner is Cited.

The following from the sports section
of the Hibbing Daily Tribune explains
itself and is in answer to an account
of the swimming meet at Hibbing the
latter part of January.
Hibbing was scheduled to meet Ely
here Saturday but the meet was called
off owing to illness in the ranks of the
Ely swimmers. The Tribune's article
is as follows:

two of the satellites in the constellation
of swimming stars Coach Paul Lukens
has moulded to make the athletic re-
cord of Hibbing high school more illus
trious this year, almost shed tears of
disappointment Thursday afternoon.
at all happened when Coach Lukens
somewhat sorrowfully announced that
Ely had cancelled dual meet with the
Blue Jackets today at Ely The ex-
PLANTATION advanced is that an epidemic
of influenza has swept the Ely SWIM
ming squad and that only three men
are capable of performing.
Ordinarily Coach Lukens does not
like to take advantage of an opposing
team by piling up the score unneces-
sarily large unless he sends his proteges
out to shoot at couple of records.
Against Ely, however, he has no such
qualms and would like nothing better
than to make clean sweep of all firsts
and seconds If possible.
Back of this feeling is the history
OF some of the tactics used by Coach M.
M Huseth of Ely, the same of good
craftsmanship" After the Hibbing
swimmers swamped Ely here a couple
of weeks ago and Bert Kreis lost out
to Leonard Kun, Ely's great diver who
is rated No. 1 among the nations high
school divers and an Olympic pros
pect, Coach Huseth sent Lukens a letter
and wrote lengthy article for the Ely
Miner.
The letter questioned Blooms use of
the overland breast stroke in the med
ley relay when Hibbing set time of an

FORUM TOPIC
Education Group Discusses the
Subject After Lecture by
Frank Bourgin.

War and world peace were the topics
of an interesting lecture and discussion
Wednesday evening at the eighth meet
ing of the Adult Education Forum at
the Memorial high school.
Frank Bourgin discussed wars place
in civilization, its frequent recurrence,
and how he believed it might be elm
mated. War, he stated, was product
of competition between individual
states, each striving for the maximum
power and for the maximum profits
for its own nationals He said that the
policies of the Roosevelt administration
indicate that the lessons of 1914-17 have
not been learned, and that these
policies may well lead us to another
war.
The discussion following the lecture
was led by Conrad Haugen. The next
Forum meeting will be held Wednesday,
February 20, and will deal with the
economic consequences of the last war.

Everett Stanley, %, is the youth from

Capt Griffin's flight against death

mile of the 116-mile course. Over a
strange route the army filler winged
his way through mist and clouds with
only the aid of road map. The low
clouds and mist forced him to skim
the tree tops and he was never able
to attain an altitude of more than 200
feet.
Despite the fact that flying conditions
were at the worst and he was flying a

rate Of consumption there will be about
"A million ons of ore on stock at lower
lake ports at the beginning of the

The steel industry was at $3.50 of
capacity at the end of last week and
