dent of the club, Anna Croft. She
divided the members into two teams,
A and B. She, then, asked No. / on
A team to name the title of a book,
and No. 1 on B team was asked to
tell the author of the book. If he
could name the author, he then named
title and scored a point for his side.
The same thing was done on down the
line. The object of the game was to
see which side could make the most
points.
The game was much fun but one
thing was learned by all; they must
remember authors as we'll at titles.

Tells
TALL TALES
Claims Skunk is Good House
Pet and Fox is "Dumbhead"
To Upset Beliefs.

The skunk is better pet than a
house cat, the fox is "dumbhead," and
the wolf is the brainiest animal of the
forest, C. Roy Teller, Eveleth school
teacher, guide and outdoor writer, told
the Arrowhead Civic club meeting in
Duluth last week to upset some popu-
lar beliefs.
Mr.. Teller was enthusiastic in his
praise of the quality of fishing in the
Minnesota Arrowhead claiming that it
offered the greatest variety of angling
of any single section in the country.
The wall-eyed pike is Minnesota's
best game fish from the standpoint of
sport and quality, he asserted. The
black bass is the all-American fish,
being found in waters from Florida to
Canada 1t is also the most difficult
to propagate by artificial methods.
Hardest to catch is lake trout, because
its habitat much of the year is in the
deepest waters.
Contrary to the belief of many, the
Minnesota black bear is the least
VI WIN III OlllS OCI-
ton, Teller claimed. Also this animal,
often seen waddling along trail or
road can run almost as fast as a deer.
A bear, seen in an angry mood, merely
is protecting her cubs, he said.
The wolf, likewise, is docile and,
according to Teller, the smartest ami
NAL in the woods, difficult to trap.
The fox on the other hand, was des-
cribed as the "dumbhead of the forests"
because of his unvarying curiosity.
The skunk is the least understood
wild animal and strangely, makes a
better house pet than the house cat, if
trained. This animal, also, Teller ex-
planned, is partly responsible for Min
nesota's duck supply by preying on the
swapping tuttle's eggs. The turtle is
the natural enemy of young ducks.

100 ELIGIBLE
FOR BENEFITS
Railroad Workers Here Will be
Able to Participate in Fed.
Unemployment Insurance

Approximately 100 men here will be
eligible to participate in benefits under
the railroad unemployment insurance
act this fall, according to John P.
Butler, Duluth, field agent for the
Railroad Retirement Board. Mr. Butler
was in the city last Thursday outlining
provisions of the act to railroad workers.
To be eligible for unemployment in
surance benefits under the Act, an en-
ployee must meet the following re-
quirements:
l. He must have earned $3.50 or more
from a railroad or other employer
covered by the Act during the calendar
year 1888.
2. He must register and serve a
waiting period of fifteen consecutive
days in which there are at least eight
days of unemployment.
3. He must not have become dis
qualified for benefits due to any of
the causes specifically set forth in the
Act.
Benefits under the Act are paid fol
each day over seven that an eligible
railroad worker is unemployed in any
fifteen consecutive days. This means
that if worker is totally unemployed
for the fifteen days he can draw eight
days of benefits If he should be I'M
employed eight days, he would get one
day of benefit; if unemployed nine days,
two days of benefit, and so on. Tile
benefit rates vary from SITS to SO per
day, depending on the workers earn
ingS for 1888.
Thus total benefits in any fifteen-day
period of total unemployment will range
from $14 to $24. The most totally un-
employed worker can draw in any
twelve-month period is eighty times his
daily benefit rate or from $40 to $40
scaled according to what he earned in
the railroad industry in 1898.
Unemployed workers should register
and file claim at the last railroad fol-
which they worked.

senator on the floor of the senate
calling attention to that there was a
marked scarcity of small American flags
in Washington this summer for the
visits of royalty and other foreign
dignitarieS. Also, the senator asserted
that all the flags available had been
made in Japan.
He wanted to know why we could not
manufacture our own flags, putting that
many jobless people to work instead of
supporting them on the dole. But,
really, now, this flag incident is small
potatoes compared with our feeding
thousands of people on WPA who would
be making matches if we were not i'm
porting something like "a per cent of
the matches we used from Russia,
Sweden and Japan. Or when we con-
slider that our imports of iron ore are
skyrocketing, while more thousands of
American workers are laid off in our
own mines; or that wood pulp and
paper are being imported in enormous
quantities, while those of our own
people by the tens of thousands, who
should be put to work cutting pulp
wood, making pulp and paper, have
nothing to do but must depend on the
government for living.
1 could go down the whole line of
American industry and show tnat TIE
same condition exist in each--yes even
farming is not escaping the strangling
blight of foreign competition. In
Florida the farmers cannot raise more
than $4,000 tons of sugar annually be-
cause of new deal AAA restrictions,
while they have facilities for producing
10000 tons. The people of Florida
consume more than that amount an
nually, and instead of putting its people
to work producing their own sugar, they
have to buy it from Cuba.
We have only two sugar factories in
Minnesota, producing only very small
fraction of the amount we consume in
our state. We could maintain at least
half dozen more, were it not for the
new deals restrictions on domestic in
duStry in favor of foreign. I maintain
that congress should stay in session
until this insanely uneconomic policy of
sacrificing our domestic industries to
benefit those of other countries, be
done away with and our own people
be put to work producing the things we
need and which can be produced in this
country.
Nero was so crazy about mis- fiddle he
let Rome burn regardless, but we in
this country today have become Sc
obsessed with the idea OF helping every
body else in foreign lands we are for
getting to attend to our own business. II
it is true that God helps only those who
help themselves, is it any wonder con-
ditionS are the way they are?

STEEL MAKING
TO INCREASE
Iron Age Sees $50 Per Cent of
Capacity" During August
Very Optimistic.

Steel production in the United States
may go to 60 per cent or higher
during August, Iron Age, industrial
magazine, asserted in its last issue.
Last weeks production of 561a per
cent of capacity was the highest level
of the year, the magazine stated.
Citing the starting of work on 1910
automobiles as the reason for its op-
timistic predictions, the magazine con-
tinued:
1.-THE next important forward move
ment probably will come in August
when specifications from the auto
mobile industry for 1910 models will be
in larger volume. 1t is believed that
the rate at that time may go to 60 per
cent or higher for at least brief
period.
New business and specifications
against previous commitments have
gained sharply in the last week over
the previous holiday week so that the
month thus far compares favorably with
the first half of June, which for many
companies was the second best month
of the year."

Circulation of County Library
Nearly as Large as That
Within City.

Circulation of the county library
within the rural area surround
ing Ely was 1856 during the year
ending June 80, nearly as large circu-
lation as that within the city of Ely
during the same period, according to
the annual report compiled by Mrs.
Ruth King, librarian.
The county library was established in
September, 1887. During it's first nine
months of existence, or until June 80,
1888, it had a total circulation of IS ,563.
During the past year its circulation has
jumped by leaps and bounds until it
came within 800 of that for the city.
The school library, however, keeps the
city library's circulation smaller than
it otherwise might be.
The city receives $4,000 annually from
the county with which to purchase
books and help with administrative ex-
penseS.
The county library now has 1889
volumes, an increase of 1885 over the
preceding year. With the city Hbrary's
$3.50 books, the total now is 1919.
The county library serves a popula-
ton outside Ely of nearly 1000, and
listed 1852 patrons as borrowers last
year.
Books are available at Rabbit, Kug-
Ter, Soudan, Tower, Vermilion Lake, the
White Iron and Winton schools, and
the residence of Mathew Korpi at
White Iron They are also being made
available at Company I'll, CCC.
Some interesting comparisons can be
made in the figures for the quarterly
reports april, May, June) from the
rural libraries at Ely, Virginia and Du-
luth.
Patrons of Ely's rural library read
more books per person than any of the
others. During the quarter it had 9
circulation of 10 books per person,
while Hibbing, the next in line had
nine.

ENCOURAGING IMAGINATIVE
PLAY

One of the best ways in which the
development of a child may be seen is
through watching the growth of his
use of imagination in his play activities.
The o-year-old begins to make in
terpretive use of his experiences, while
the three year-old lives increasingly in
tn world of his imagination.
Dramatic and initiative play will de-
pend much on what the child has had
an opportunity to observe and take part
in. One of the reasons why even young
children should have too monotonous
routine is because their play can
easily become stereotyped and stale, if
new sights and happenings do not give
them new ideas to inject into it. A
visit to farm or circus will motivate all
kinds of animal play, so stock of life
like animals, horses, cows, pigs, etc., to
play farm with and lions tigers etc., for
playing circus will be used over and
over. Blocks will be used in connection
with these for barns, fences, stations,
stores and so on.
Small, stout trucks, airplanes boats,
plows, tractors and engines form the
basis for much group play in the sand
pile or solitary play if child must be
confined to bed, where, like Robert
Louis Stevenson, he can make his boats
go in fleets, "all up and down among
the Sheets"
Housekeeping play will keep children
L11cu 11x,t ba
ment that is durable and large enough
to be practical. A doll bed should be
large and stout enough for the young
mistress to be able to sit on it, the
dishes and pans should be unbreakable
for the smaller children) and a size
to make tea parties possible. Washing
equipment is now made so attractive
that it should give my little girl
pleasant reaction toward tubs, ironing
boards and such-like utensils. Dolls
should be selected with their wearing
and life-like qualities in mind.
Children love to have corner or
some partly enclosed space in which
they can carry on housekeeping play.
Low, folding screens or wall-board par
titions with brackets to keep them
standing upright, and holes cut for
doors and windows will be cherished
by girls and boys alike, when Dolly
is sick and the doctor comes or when
guests are coming to call" ceremon-
iouSly.
Odds and ends of household materials
should be carefully saved, for they re-
present an important part of child's
equipment for imaginative play. Car
tons, boxes, spools, cans, extra rolls of
wall paper, cellophane, corrugated
paper ribbons and tinsel, small and
large sacks, small wheels, curtain rods
and advertising samples are only few
of the many things that can be sal
vaged and put away for use at the
proper moment.
If no one room can be used as play

Family Cans 1000
Quarts of Food YearLy

international Falls-When it comes to
fruits and vegetables, the I. D. Smootzes
over at Indus declare, it's this way:
''We eat what we can and what We
can't eat we can!" Every summer they
put up one thousand quarts, and their
summer canning hasn't run under 1000
quarts in the last IA years They
figure each quart costs them about 25
cents when they allow for their own
work which means that every autumn
the yards and yards of shelving in their
basement sway under something like
$3.50 worth of first quality food. And
in IA years their home canning fac
tory" has reached an aggregate produc-
ton figure of $500. Not bad for a
family of three.

says that this year, the ducks have
performed more tricks and freaks than
in any other year of his experience
Earlier in the season twin ducklings
Matched from the same egg. Each little
fellow was perfect, and they were COM
pletely separate. But they were small.
and did not survive. This week, one of
the ducks laid monster egg, and that
was freak too. Inside the outer shell,
which measured nine inches in circum-
ference the long way, was complete
egg OF the regular size. The space be-
tween the two shells was filled with the
egg white, but the inner egg is of
regular composition.

room, it is essential that play space be
set aside somewhere. Provision should
be made for putting away toys, in or
der that habits of neatness and order
may at least have a chance to de-
velop. In the child's room, the lower
space in the clothes closet may be
fitted with shelves or open shelves with
simple hangings may be built in. Down
stairs, lower drawers or buffet or book
case be set aside for the child's use. 1t

was on fire and summoned the fire
department. A large crowd assembled
for the fire, but it turned out lousy"
