Neutrality Message
Hail His Motives;
Address Convincing,
Says TuIsu World

FOLLOWING are excerpts from ed

papers throughout the country on
President RooseUelt'S neutrality
message to Congress yesterday:
Tulsa (Okla.) World (Democrat)-
The Presidents address was infor-
NATIVE and, to large degree, con-
vinoing. 1t was known before
the special session of Congress was
convened that there would be strong
opposition to his proposals and it
was also known that he had strong
support, regardless of party or Sec
tional lines. That the President i'm
proved his position can hardly be
doubted.
San Francisco Cchronicle (inde-
pendent Republican, Because it is
experimental, because it does not
follow the universally accepted prin-
ciples of international law, our pres
ent neutrality chart is dangerous to
us. The President thinks, and
we believe the great majority of
Americans agree with him, that the
safest neutrality chart will be one
on the lines of the law of nations as
recognized throughout the world.
That law gives a neutral the un-
questioned right to sell anything
anywhere, subject only to the risk
of capture if the goods are contra
band. The Presidents pro-
posal is now up to Congress. We
think it should be adopted. =" ="

To Mr.. Roosevelt,s program we do

Congress should define the war

It is to be hoped that the legislators
will act on the recommendation that

Improve Local Airport
Tue School Patrol
Camps This Year.

Meeting the widespread response to
the summer school patrol camps, con-
Quoted by the American Legion and the
state department of highways for the
past three years, two camps will be held
this year, each admitting up to 125 boys.
Announcement of plans for the 1899
camps was made this week by Frank
E. Morse, department commander Of
the Legion and M. j. Hoffman, state
commissioner Of highways.
Registration is now open for the
camps, which will be held at Lum Park
near Brainerd, from June 10 to "a and
from June "a to July l. The encamp-
ment will be known as Legionville
School Patrol Safety and Conservation
Camps.
Each American Legion post pays a
small sum for the expense of trans
portation, commissary and housing of its
delegate or delegates, who must be be-
tween the ages of 10 and Is years.
Representatives from each school are
to be selected by the school authorities.
Instruction at the camp will be given
not only in school and traffic safety
but in safety measures on the play
ground and in the home, in conserva-
ton activities and in good citizenship.
Typical summer camp activities also will
be provided for the boys, including
swimming, athletics and nature study.
Several Ely boys attended such a
camp last year and were more than
pleased with it's conduct and the facili-
ties offered.
Full details can be secured from any
Legion post commander or edjutant.

Plans Call for Construction of
Hangar, Conditioning Field
If Uncle Sam Pays.

An investigation as to the availability
of federal funds for improving the Ely
airport is being made by George Deibler,
county highway engineer, according to
Jacob L. Pete, Fourth district COM
missioner. A report may be ready in
time for the next board meeting, which
is Monday, Commissioner Pete said.
This action is taken following a
motion made by Commissioner Pete at
the last meeting of the county board.
If funds can be obtained, a hangar may
be constructed, new wind indicator
put up, and the field conditioned, he
said.
He urged that local organizations, and
especially service mems groups and the
Commercial club, write federal authori-
ties requesting that an ALLEGATION for the
Ely airport be made.
Because of the great demand for
funds for relief and roads, I doubt if
the county would be willing to spend
money on airports this year." he stated.
The airport is the property of st.
Louis county.
The addition of hangar has been
suggested by virtually every flyer coming
to Ely. At present persons flying here
have no place to house their ships, and
must leave them at the field.
If hangar were available, flying
tourists unquestionably would be at
tracted to Ely for some of it's famous
fishing and scenic trips, it has been
pointed out. The proper marking of
the field is also paramount if it is to
be given a high rating on airport maps.

TRUTH about ADVERTISING
Bv CHARLES B. ROTH
HIGH PRESSURE sALEsMANsHIP

items is excessive. These things he
knows because advertising, his
refuge against false claims, told him
so.
The average customer today is
much better informed than even
professional buyers were 20 years
ago.
The housewife knows which foods
contain vitamins, which, contain
vegetable oils, which contain ex-
pensive ingredients and the like. She
knows the effect of this or that prod
uct.
She is never, therefore, at the
mercy of the high-pressure artist
who seeks to rob her by giving her
less than others and charging her
more for it.
Advertising in the newspapers,
which she cOnsults regularly, has
built into her life an expert knOwl-
edge of values and prices and quail
ties. These make her an extraordi-
narily well informed person.
He who would sell the average
customer must come with good val
ue, a fair price and high quality.
Otherwise he won't get even hear
ing, because we have something
now with which to compare un-
known or new goods-and we are
quick to reject those that do not
measure up.
Much more than a selling aid for
business is advertising. 1t is an
educational system which is making
Americans the best-educated buyers
in the world. 1t is an economic sys-
tenn which is giving Americans
more for their money every day.

WEED Meeting
TO BE AT COOK
Weed Control and Eradication
Discussion to Draw Many
to Cook Saturday.

The annual weed meeting for st.
Louis County will be held at Cook at
l 80 on Saturday. The meeting will be
held in the high school, it is announced
by the State Department of Agriculture,
Dairy and Food, division of weed and
seed control.
Those in charge Of the meeting for
the state division are Sam Hammerbeck
and D. w. Frear. 1t is also supposed
that members of the county board and
nearby legislators will attend the weed
meetings as this is considered one of
the most vital farming measures before
the agriculturiSts of the state.
Weed control and eradication pro-
grams which did good work in 1888 in
Minnesota counties can be considered at
the county meeting and used as a
foundation on which 1889 plans can be
definitely laid, the departments notice
said. To reach the goal of a sound
county program for this year, linked
with those of neighboring counties and
the state, the department hopes every
farmer, every official and every citizen
concerned and interested in this prob
lem will take an active part in the
meeting.
New and important phases of con-
troll work will be stressed. Practical
field work, guarantees, education ano
experience of past years will serve as
base on which plans can be made fol
farm and neighborhood programs
Familiarity with the more important
weeds and more general use of the mos
defective eradication methods will re.
lSult from these discussions.

MOngreL Dog Fights Fire.

Ellsworth the bull dog-fox
TERROR belonging to Harry Feldman,
should be the mascot of the local fire
department. The dog, a year old last
December, has a dislike for fire that
causes her to attempt to stamp out
match and cigar lighter flames. Should
one hold match within her reach,
Penny will strike at it with her front
paw, until she has extinguished the
flame. She seeks to snuff out the flame
from cigaret lighter, but if that fails,
her paw goes into action. Where dogs
have a dislike for fire, the animal
usually retreats to safe distance, and
thus Penny's method of coping with the
situation by attacking it is all the more
remarkable

d. NJ. e /. r. Railroad
ShOlUs Best Record in 1888.

G. E. Carlson, president and general
manager of the Duluth, Missabe and
Iron Range railway was in Chicago,
Monday evening where at a banquet
staged by the National Safety Council,
he received the plaque in recognition
of the roads safety performance in
1898.
Mr.. Carlson was accompanied to Chi
cago by A. v. Rohweder, superintendent
of safety and welfare for the railway
and chairman of the safety measures
for the state of Minnesota in addition.
The D. M. & I. r. won first place in
the 18th annual railroad employees ma
tional safety contest among railroads
working from 100000 to 5000, 900 man
hours in 1888. The road had casualty
rate of 143 compared with 381 rat
ing for the second place winner. The
rankings are figured on the number of
employees killed and injured per 1,OO0,-
600, man hours of work.
In commenting on the victory of the
road, D. d. Fennell, president of the
National Safety Council, said: Charles
E. Carlson, president of the road and
his entire official family not only estab-
lished an all-time low with their 1888
casualty rate, but have turned in the
lowest record for any railroad unit in
the 1888 contest"
