Crocus Is From Kashmir;
Traveller Purloined Bulb

The dainty little crocus has been
aptly called the 'first gem of the
earth in spring." observes writer
in the Montreal Star.
1t is said that the crocus was TAX
en- to England in the reign of Ed
ward III from Kashmir. In that
country it was the monopoly of the
rajah, but an English traveller, who
penetrated the country as a pilgrim,
stole a bulb at the risk of his life.
He concealed it in his hollow staff,
and managed to carry it all the way
back to his home at Walden, in Es-
sex.
Such a harvest of saffron yellow
flowers came from that single bulb
that the place came to be known as
Saffron Walden, the name which it
bears today.
The plant was used as dye in
India, and for the same purpose in
England and Ireland. Henry VIII
forbade the use of the crocus as a
dye for linen by the Irish. The linen
had been dyed because it was
thought that it would not be neces-
sary to wash it so often as white lin
en-, as the dirt would not show.
According to legend, the crocus
came from some drops of the elixir
of life that Medea was preparing for
the aged Aeson.

old Debt Collected
By Newspaper Story.

Grand Rapids-One person who be-
lieves in newspaper publicity is a local
physician, DR.. M. M. Hursh, who has
just recovered payment for an old &C
count which he had crossed from his
books. More than year ago the doc
tor carried advertisements stating that
in an effort to relieve the financial
situation he was writing off a large
number of accounts, and starting with
a clean slate. This information was
picked up by news services and it
reached man in Arkansas who said to
his wife, when We go north next sum-
mer We will stop in and pay that old,
forgotten account we owe DR.. Hursch.'
Last week, Mr.. Blank-for the man
would have no other name here-Walked
into the doctors office and asked for
his bill. DR.. HurSch could not re-
member it until he was reminded of a
stormy rainy night "a years ago when
he had driven with team and buggy
to Hill City to aid the physician there
on a difficult case. The occasion was
recalled, the bill was paid, and now
DR.. Hursch is making plans to visit his
patients home town in the Ozarks.

where between Sparta, Wisconsin and
Austin. She could not name the town.

AuStin-Because an Adams township
farmer, recently married, had to have
his shocks threShed compromise was
reached by him and his neighborS fol-
lowing a four hour Shutdown strike,
brought about by a demand for twenty
dollars for a party" When the young
man was married the young fellows of
the neighborhood called on him and
asked for twenty dollars to help cele-
brate the occasion. The bridegroom Of
fered three dollars, but that did not
satisfy and charivari was begun which
continued for sometime without getting
raise of more than three plunks.
Threshing came to that young mans
farm a few days later. All the fellows
who had taken part in the charivari
were members of the mutual threShing
group. The farmer saw the threShing
rig pull up into his field where the
shocks stood in rich heavy rows. He
also. saw the farm teams of the neigh
borhood pull up, but on the road, out
side the field. He was informed there
would be no threshing until the twenty
dollars were paid for party" From
seven until eleven there We're confer
ences, both sides being stubborn. Not
until a compromise, satisfactory to the
bunch, was reached, We're the wagons
pulled up along side of the shocks, the
whistle of the threshing engine sounded
and business resumed as usual.

Old Age Benefits
@@@@@@%@@@@@@
By FRED M. WILCOX
Regional Director

Old-Age Reserve Account an amount of
money sufficient to meet the benefits
coming due that year and to increase
the Account through the investment of
excess funds in United States bonds
bearing per cent interest.
There has been much public discus
sion Of the adviSability of building up
the enormous Old-Age Reserve Ac-
count and the effect it would have
upon the investment of private funds in
government bonds, its effect upon the
national debt, and the security of this
Account.
The United States Government has
never tried a plan such as the Old-Age
Reserve Account before. Only through
experience can we learn whether the
reserve plan is wise or not. Both the
Social Security Board and a special
Congressional committee is studying the
problem, and if it proves to be an un-
wise experiment, there is every reason
to think that a change will be made.
1t will be ten or twelve years before
the Account becomes so large as to con-
stitute a national problem, and We will
know more about such matters than we
do now.
In the meantime, 100000 American
working men and women are building
towards the future and counting on the
day when they will be assured of some
measure of security in their older years.

ELY EXHIBIT
DRAWS HEAVY
HoefIer Estimates Attendance
Double That of Last Year
at State Fair Exhibit.

Ray Hoefler returned Sunday from
the Minnesota State Fair where he was
in charge of the exhibit put on by the
Ely Commercial Club in connection with
the st. Louis County Club.
Mr.. Hoefler reports that the attend
ance this year at the st. Louis County
building exceeded all expectations and
that a steady stream of visitors passed
through the building from early morn
ing until late at night. Many stopped
for information and the clerk was kept
busy explaining the large and attractive
list of exhibits.
To furnish an idea of the attendance
it is said that $4,000 were checked
through the building on Saturday, the
only day the check was kept. A total
of $4,000 passed through the doors of
the Ely exhibit last year on the same
day. The attendance on Saturday this
year was nearly double that of a year
ago. 1t is estimated that the same ratio
applied for every day of the fair. Last
year, a check showed $4,000 passing
through the building and it is the
opinion that double that number viewed
the exhibit this year.

Old English Cathedrals
MAGNIFICENT Structures

The medieval cathedrals of Eng
land are among the most magnifi-
cent in Europe, and among the
best preserved and most important
INTELLECTUALLY. Many of them, says
writer in the New York Herald
Tribune, while adhering to general
Gothic principles, are distinctive in
style and preserve some of the best
examples of early English architec-
ture.
One need not be a student OF
architecture or a devout churchman
to appreciate the beauty of these
ancient monuments to mans faith
and art and skill. In their majesty
they dominate many of the cities
of England.
One of the cathedrals is Canter-
bury, the Metropolitan Church of
England. Canterbury itself is an in
teresting old city in the County of
Kent.
The cathedral is on the site of the
church built there by st. Augustine
in COB. The present building was in
process of construction from the
Eleventh to the Fifteenth century.
The northwest transept was the
scene of the murder of Thomas a
Beckett in ITO.
Second only to Canterbury in &C.
clesiastical Importance is York
Minister in the City of York, in
northern England, the see of the
Archbishop of York. The great
York Minister is the largest medieval
cathedral in England and one OF
the oldest. The imposing edifice was
built in the Twelfth, Thirteenth and
Fourteenth centuries.
Durham Cathedral is one of the
most ancient and most important
in the country, and also one of the
most perfectly situated, on an emf
nence above the old city. Winchester
cathedral, in the south of England,
also is one of the earliest. It is
the longest Gothic church in Europe.
Many authorities consider Sails
bury Cathedral the most perfect OF
the great English churches. 1t is an
example of pure early English
architecture, and is remarkable for
its uniformity and harmony of de-
sign and its perfect proportions.
It has the Hottest spire in England.
1t is unusual among medieval cathe-
drals in that it was completed with
in forty years, from 1920 to 1850.

WHO PAYS FOR OLD-AGE
BENEFITS?

When Congress passed the Social
Security Act in 1885, it was decided to
set up the old-age benefits system on
a Self:suStaining basis. In other words,
instead of increasing direct taxation by
millions Of dollars each year, Congress
decided to set up a Reserve Account
which would build itself up through
secure Understanding investments in
United States bonds or government
guaranteed securities
In order to make it possible for the
Government to carry on this additional
financial activity, certain taxes are
levied to replenish the Treasury of the
United States
Who pays these taxes? The employ
ees who are included in the old-age
benefits system and who will receive
the benefits pay half of the taxes.
The employers in whose service these
workers have spent the valuable and
productive years of their lives pay the
other half. Congress believed that the
| costs of old-age security should be
charged back to industry, just as work.
mems compensation and unemployment
compensation are charged back.
Both the employee and the en-
ployer pay equal taxes. For 1897, 1888
and 1899, each of them will pay a wage
tax of per cent. After that the tax
increases for each of them at the rate
OF 1s of one per cent for each sue
ceeding three-year period, until in 1949,
both the employer and the employee
will be paying an equal tax of 8 per
cent
The employees share of the taxes is
deducted by his employer every time he
is paid. Once a month the employer
makes tax return for his tax of per
| cent and that of his employees. Work
erS are not required to make individual
tax returns. No wages earned by per-
| sons aged IS or over are taxed. Neither
is the employer nor the employee taxed
on wages paid to any employee above
$1,000 per year.
These taxes are paid to the United
States Bureau of Internal Revenue and
are turned over to the United States
Treasury, just as income and other
| taxes are.
Congress is authorized to appropriate
annually from the Treasury into the

CAMERA MAN
SHOOTING ELY
Has Taken 400 Feet of Film
So Far and Expects To Use
AS Much More.

William Gotthef, camera man, re-
presenting the Baehr operated theatres,
has been busy this week taking motion
pictures of points of interest in and
about Ely in the work of filming the
city business and civic institutions.
The films are being taken in every
city where the Baehr Bros. have
theatres and are to be preserved to de-
note progress and furnish a history
of these towns. Local merchants are
cooperating Fundamentally in the work,
considering this as huge success in
the work of advertising the city.
The films are of the regular 35mm
films and will be shown at the Ely
Theatre in the near future. In taking
the pictures, Mr. Gotthelf is being as
sisted by Erwin familiarly known as
Cab Nygaard, manager of the Ely
Theatre.
Public and civic, as well as educa-
tional and religious buildings, are being
taken with audiences and attendants.
The schools, sending forth their pupils,
and the faculty of each are being shot
as well as the city council, school board,
the Ely bands which includes the NUM-
cipal, School and Teenie Vicente, the
drum and bugle corps, the school foot
ball, basketball and swimming teams,
and other organizations.
So far, up to Wednesday afternoon,
a matter of 14O0 feet had been taken
and the camera man informs us that
about as much more film will be used
before the completion of the work. 1t
is expected that the shooting will be
completed about Tuesday of next week
after which the cutting, titling and ar
ranging will take place. The film will
be shown in Ely somtime in early
October.
Mr.. Nygaard informs us that many of
the pictures will be in the hands of
the Commercial Club to be used later
for advertising purposes. Much of the
film also will be acquired by the club.

Condition of State Deer
Herd is Being Studied.

Minnesota state game wardens are
counting noses, figuratively speaking, of
the deer inhabiting the state. The an
nual survey now being conducted by the
Game and Fish division will determine
the condition of the deer herd and
present state of the deer range, particu-
larly as to food supplies.
Data will be tabulated indicating an
increase or decrease in the number of
deer, the percentage of increase or de-
crease over a ten-year period, with a
definite comparison as to population
last year. Whether or not the deer
range is expanding to the south and
west of the So-called deer territory will
also be determined
Both winter and summer food sup
plies will be studied. If winter feeding
of alfalfa hay is considered imperative
to keep deer in a healthful condition,
the survey asks how much hay will be
required and the number of deer that
are expected to be reached. The survey
also seeks information as to extensive
cedar cuttings in the various districts
during the past five years.
In formation will be secured as to
the number of deer that have allegedly
died because of lack of food. Where
such deaths have been noted data will
be sent in as to whether or not such
deaths were due to excessive numbers of
deer in yarding areas or because of a
general food shortage. Effect of wolves
and dogs on deer will also be studied.
The survey, approved by Herman C.
Wenzel, commissioner of conservation,
and Harry E. Speakes, director of the
division of game and fish, is under the
supervision of Edward McKeever, game
and fish deputy director.

day" in Glencoe and farmers were buy
ing or selling little 'piggies" at seven
dollars EACH A transaction was being
made between two farmers and while
they were taking the pigs from one
crate and transferring them to another,
one, which evidently did not like being
taken to market, managed to get away
and started a number of Glencoe citi-
zens on a merry chase. The pig was
finally cornered, but frustrated in its
break for freedom, it omitted many
indignant squeals upon returning to the
crate.

Monterey, CALIFORNIA; Capital

Monterey was formerly the most
enterprising city of California and
the principal military, commercial
and financial center. It played an
important part in the jealousies that
divided the northern and the south
ern settlements. Except for a short
time (1845-1847) it was the capital
of California until the constitution
of the new state was adopted in
1849. 1t was the county seat until
1872. The first American newspaper
on the Coast was published there
and in Cotton hall met the conven-
ton which framed the first constitu-
ton of the state. The first theater in
California, the first brick house and
the first house of planed lumber
were built in Monterey. After the
discovery of gold its importance
declined and San Francisco took the
leading place.
