Workmen Start on Church.

A crew of six workmen started the
remodeling of the interior of the
church Tuesday morning. The pre-
liminary work of building a suitable
scaffold is almost as difficult as the
decorating. The scaffold is 60 feet
long and 80 feet wide with three floor
levels-6, IL and Is feet high, the
bulk of which is made out of 2 by
inch rough lumber. All the seats
from the center section have been
moved into the basement.
At the special meeting of the local
congregation Sunday noon it was
quickly decided to follow the sugges-
ton of the directors and the building
committee, namely to build new
chimney in the northwest corner
rather than to repair the old one.
Work on this will be started in a few
days it is expected.
Melvin Peterson and Erwin Eriksen
were visitors in the Twin Cities Mon

the Service Garage, which he will

Mr.. and Mrs. Soren X. Christensen
and two daughters spent the week
end visiting in Albert Lea and vicin-
ity. Crop conditions there have i'm
proved wonderfully with the recent
rains.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Anderson and
daughter of North Branch, and Mrs.
o. A. Chase of Minneapolis, came
Friday for a visit at the Manford Nell
son home. Saturday they all jour
neyed to Duluth to attend the we'd
ding of a relative. The Nelson guests
remained over here until Monday.
The recent abundance of rain has
put lot of life into the grass which
appeared to be dead, several lawns
have turned green again; and Incl
dentally the grass on the cemetery
is also growing nicely, so if you have
lot out there then it would be we'll
to take care of it right now.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1936-06-04
Why Gold Is Standard

Gold is the logical standard Of value
measurement, because it has no COM
mercial use other than for few minor
trinkets and it therefore is not a COM
modify in the general meaning Of the
term. The value of gold is established
by the amount of labor or service that
is required to produce it and only the
cost Of production can ever perma-
nently change its worth. If gold were
plentiful and cheap to produce, its val
ue would be lowered and it's use as a
monetary gauge would be destroyed.
The quantity of gold produced and the
cost Of its production has always kept
pace with the growth and increase in
the wealth Of the world, which fact
still more firmly establishes it as the
logical standard Of value measurement.

amazed Jud, snatched the telephone,
and in a moment he was speaking TO
Agnes
Agnes was nearly twenty-three, and
she would have said upon that win
ter afternoon, when snowfiakes were
beginning to blow from the north even
before the clouds fioated under the
sun, that nothing in the least ex-
traordinary had ever happened to her.
She had been born in an attractive.
pleasant house only half mile away
from this huge handsome country
mansion, on the lake shore. which
for the last eleven years-almost half
Of Agnes life-had been home.
Beatrice, her sister who was two
years older, also had been born in
that same smaller. house; for there
her father had brought her mother
as a bride. Such was the phrase by
which her mother always described
that house: when I was bride, Bob
brought me here to that little house
on Easter Lane"
1t was little only in comparison; it
had a great garden, gay in summer
with phlox, sweet William, larkspur
and Canterbury bells. 1t had init
mate, CHEEKY fireplaces, and next the
sunny rooms which had been Agnes
and Bees, had been Papa's and Mann
mas room wherein had been their
big bed.
Agnes thought Of that house as hav-
ing been always happy; and she could
remember when she was a child, and
would run into Papa's and Mammals
room in the morning in her white
flannel teddy" with feet" and Papa
would pick her up and kiss her and
then bounce her down between Nam
ma and him in the big bed.
Father must have been making plen-
ty of money then. Of course he had
much more now, very much more.
Millions, Agnes realized; yet the mon
ey had not greatly altered the pat
terms of her dreams, which had been
shaped to satisfaction in the little
house; nor had it greatly changed
the actual course she pursued. She
had left Country Day school for a
very expensive girls school in Con-
necticut when she was fifteen; and
that might not have happened from the
little house; but soon she went on TO
Smith college, as always she had
planned, and had been graduated last
June. The summer abroad; and now
she was at home, which meant, when
she was in the house, that she was
with her mother, mostly; and when
she was out, she was with Bee, who
had married four years ago and had
two babies; or she was hurrying
about, being busy with Junior league
esrands; and she was waiting for the
man she was to marry.
Agnes did not pretend anything else
with herself. To be happy, girl
must bind herself in utter intimacy
with a man; she must be a wife: Ag.
nes wanted to be a wife and have ba'
bies, like Bees dear adorable little
boys. But she did not want a hus.
band like Bees, though Bee argued
she was happy. Agnes knew that
when you were, you showed it-you
didn't debate 1t.

 Two new stations have recent ly been installed, one at Umak and another at Attu, furthermost western point of the Aleutians.
 The stations are of great ser- vice to the outposts, MT. Hesse reports he finds, due to the total lack of communication in many of the places.

Fires Rage On In Oregon And

PORTLAND, Oregon, Sept. 29, Fog and smoke lay over a great section of western Oregon, extending as far inland as Port land. Dampening weather con- ditions late today gave new hope for the cessation of the fire men, ace which has laid sections of the Oregon coast waste.
 Extremely dense fog swirled in over central and coast regions where a series of fires are burn ing, doing considerable proper ty damage. It was believed the fog also extended to Marshfield Oregon where the telephone Wir- es are temporarily out of order this morning.
 Immediate communications with the area are impossible although it is expected circuits will be re- paired shortly.
 Late reports last night told of fog approaching Marshfield, which will assure calm weather, and provide a barrier to a furth- CT spread of the flames which de- stroyed Bandon, south of Marsh field, Saturday night, with the loss of nine lives and a million and a half dollars in property damage.
