more fantastic contemporary names: :

Questions From Snopshooters

trait attachment help me 10 make better
bortraffs2 "a. B. r.
Answer: The purpose of a portrait
attachment is to shorten up the focal
length of the lens so you can work
close enough to the subject with a
short bellows camera to get reason
ably large image. With your camera
you can focus on nearby subject by
using the double bellows extenSlons
without using a portrait attachment.
Question: read a lot about fine gram

(M. G. s.
Answer: There is no particular ad-
vantage in using finegraln developer
if contact prints are to be made. III en-
largements up to or diameters are
to be made, it would be advisable to
use a fine grain film and fine-grain
developer. If enlargements up to ten

would be advisable to use one OF the

Answer: The spots are probably
blisters and are caused by the forma-

blisters are not likely to be encountered.

leaders.
THE Oliver has furnished new

petition in this modern world, chick
with four legs and wings appeared last
week at the Ed Bowers home, 21a miles
east of Morton, as an example of what
Mr.. Bowers chickens are doing to keep
abreast of the machine age which places
great emphasis on streamlining. The
extra appendages were attached to the
body of the bird directly behind the
normal sets of wings and legs. Think
ing of Thanksgiving time it seems that
it would pay Mr.. Bowers to continue to
raise these modern birds for any fowl

ought to go far, but as long as the new
models are coming out with spare parts,
it should also be in order to equip
chicks with air brakes. Another factor
in the mystery of the chick with the

Matched from a normal appearing egg.

Miss Mary Hutar scored a success as

band concert at Whiteside Park. The
concert was attended by large audi

The audience was very much pleased
with the concert but deplored the fact
that seats had not been provided as ex-

city council who have had the matter
under consideration since the season
started.
The lack of seating capacity and the
lack of band shell is sorely handi-

are made up of the finest musical Of

"Wanna Buy a Duck"'

The family of ducks which preempted
the chimney on the Schaefer summer
cottage at White Iron Beach COM
pleted their work of propagation Sun
day and departed with two ducklings
Matched out of the nine eggs in the
nest.
They were of the Merganzer type and
the eggs were as large as turkey eggs
of dark gray color. After Matching
the two ducklings the nest was aban-
doned and the balance of the eggs
failed to come through.
A noise in the chimney, Sunday
morning, was investigated, and it was
found that the ducklings were trying
to climb out of the six foot chimney
They succeeded in getting about half
way to the top and would drop back
into the downy nest.
Later in the day noise in the
heating stove showed one little fellow
had found the stove pipe hole and had
fallen into the stove. He was removed
and taken to the lake where his mother
was quite upset over the matter and
quacked her disapproval in no uncertain
| terms.
Later in the day the same thing hap
pened to the other duckling and he also
was taken to the lake and after con-
siderable peeping his mother came an6

WHAT OTHERS SAY|
Sauce For All.

Duluth News Tribune-In their
search for new revenue Minnesota needs
so badly some legislators have turned
their eyes northward, noted that the
iron range communities have high per
capita revenues and decided that 1t
would be wise and fair to limit those
communities to scale Of spending far
below that now allowed and to use the
money thus saved for the benefit of
the whole state.
That would have an important effect
on this part of the state. Even if 1t
does not pass, now, it should produce
some serious thinking.
It is an old story for the rest Of the
state to charge the range towns with
lavish spending. The range towns have
the answer that their situation is a
peculiar one, without parallel in other
sections.
The mining companies, the prime
cause for the existence of the towns,
are unable to hire everyone who is there
and willing to work. The municipali-
ties and school districts have provided
a great many jobs and in the end the
mining companies have paid the bills.
Now the state proposes to step in and
take away large part Of the support.
About the burden it is less definite.
It seems that there is a new sort of
tax philosophy developing in Mime
sofa. The taxes on industries should be
divided among all parts of the state as
fairly as may be. There have been at
temps to do this in the past, but this
IS more far-reaching.
This opens up some new avenues
leading to balanced budget. There
are the stockyards in South st. Paul.
They could be made to produce a fine
round sum for all the state to share.
There are the flour mills at MINNIE
apolis. st. Cloud has famous granite
quarrieS. There Is a great packing
plant at Austin. Winona has patent
medicine factories. Rochesters indus
try is treating the sick. Several towns
have lumber, pulp and paper mills.
Feeding and entertaining tourists is a
big industry. Feeding and entertaining
students is a big industry in college
towns
If we're going to pool, let's pool. If
Northeastern Minnesota contributes the
mining industry surely the other parts
of the state want to do their bit. Or
don't the?

Detroit Saturday Night-Mr. Wilfred
j. Funk, the erudite editor of The
Literary Digest, may have slipped as an
election prophet, but he is unquestion-
ably an expert on the English language.
In the use of slang, MIR. Funk speaks
with the voice of authority and he re-
Gently rendered America great service.
81 love slang" Mr.. Funk stated, but
added that there is such thing as stale
slang. And so he has designated the
following expressions as stale and over
worked and deserving to be dropped
from the bright lexicon of American
argot. Here they are: Okay, terrific,
lousy, contact Cboth verb and noun)
definitely, gal, racket, swell, impact
and honey.
Praise be to Mr.. Funk! He seems to
have laid his finger on the ten most
overworked expressions in the language,
terms that have long since lost their
wallop. But they will be here for long
time yet. They are too familiar and
expressive to be discarded overnight.

Duluth Free Press-The people of St
Louis County and the rest of the Range
areas are being afforded plenty of OBJ
ject lessons by the lunatic fringe in
action these days. One of these in par
ticular IS the more impressive since its
effects are brought right home to every
one of us who pays taxes. And that
of course, includes all.
This applies especially to the proposal
to take large part of the mine taxes
away from the local governmental units
and divert them into the state treasury
to be spent by the little band of vora-
cious tax-eaters now in control there.
The mass protest meeting at Eveleth
definitely developed that the people of
this area do not relish the idea of
having to divide their luscious miners
tax apple with the hungry statehouse
gang. To the Farmer-Laborites here
it must be not only humiliating but ex-
ceedingly painful to thus have their
faces slapped after all they have done
in the past six years to keep their
party in power.
In way they had it coming. It is
futile to expect to play with fire with
out getting burnt occasionally. Those
of us who really knew the character of
the crew now plotting the ship of state
in st. Paul saw it coming a while ago.
This IS just what this gang of tax
eaters have had in mind all the time
t6nyy houa 1aav, a1o o,-iy,rr hi
mine levies. And the Range commune
ties have been playing right into their
hands by their lobbying and prolific
passing of resolutions in support there
Iof.
Another ominouS manifestation of the
lunatic fringe in action is Congress
man Demands taking charge of the
CIO union organizing on the Ranges.
Aside from the obviously questionable
ethics of congressman, taking on a
highly renumerative job like that while
he is drawing $4,000 a year salary
with perquisites from the federal gov
eminent and particularly with Congress
in session, we here also are confronted
with the more material problem of
practicability. For in the end that
drive is certain to prove as disastrous
a boomerang as this high tax agitation
is now turning out to be. It is absurd
for us to expect to promote this to us
economically vital industry by piling
ever-higher tax and labor costs on it.
With President Roosevelt in Washing
ton gradually eliminating the tariff
barriers against iron ore and fabricated
steel products, these all can be had so
much more cheaply abroad than our
domestic mining and steel industries
will be absolutely out of the running
and forced to quit.
