RELIEF OFFICE
IS CLEARED
Charges of Discrimination in
the Ely Relief Office Quashed
by Special Investigators.

A clear record was given the Ely re-
lief office of the st. Louis County well
fare board at a hearing Tuesday held
in Duluth. The office had been &C
lcused of unfairness in refusing to certi-
fly range man for WPA. An examin-
alton conducted by state and county
special investigators reported the
charges false.
A range resident, taking issue with
the welfare board, said it's department
officials had been unfair in placing a
man on the work-relief waiting list.
Welfare officials disclosed that the COM
plaintant was a relative of the person
against whom it was charged the Ely
officials Disseminated.
The matter was taken to Governor
StaSSen who was notified of the al
legged discrimination and an immediate
state investigation was made. Two
special county investigators also were
detailed by the welfare board to in
vestigate the charges. At the meeting,
Tuesday, all three investigators re-
ported that there were absolutely no
grounds for the charges of discrim-
ination.
Mrs. julie Johnston, head of the Ely
office feels highly elated over the find
ings of the investigators indicating her
of discrimination in the conduct of her
Office. She further stated that the
charge was trumped up for political
purposes.

the Ely Commercial Club, and Ivan

In addition to a resolution passed re-
queSting the governor to name a range

it was also decided at the meeting to
name an executive advisory board to be
composed of two citizens from each
community on the ranges and to be
named by the mayor, president of the
Commercial club and the city clerk in
each community.
Another meeting will be held in two
weeks when it is expected that a de-
finite program will have been form
ulated, not only against the Weber
Carley bill but also to keep in touch
with public affairs in the communities
represented by those attending.
Purcell Barker of Virginia was the
chairman of the day. Carl Schuster,
Biwabik, chairman of the procedure
committee, is preparing the constitu-
ton and plans for collecting data and
statistics to present to the interim COM
mittee.

TRUTH about ADVERTISING
Oh, FOR THE GOOD OLD DAYS
By CHARLES B. ROTH

Anyone who understands simple
economics will tell you why. Two
words will do it. The words are
mass production.
Mass production is impossible
without mass distribution, which is
just another way of saying that when
a larger number of things are made
a large number of people must be
made to buy them.
There wasn't any mass distribu-
ton until advertising was developed,
and there wasn't any of the things in
our lives we call modern until adj
vertising put them there.
In many foreign countries even
today you have to spend weeks
securing the markets for what you
want. Farmers bring their cattle
and produce to market. They stay
in town two or three weeks dispos-
ing of it. Consumers have to go
from stall to stall and dicker for
everything they want.
If you have the time and enjoy
trading, that sort of thing is fine,
is fun; but most of us have other
things to do. We find it simpler to
do our trading by reading the news
paper advertisements, decide what
we will buy and then go down to the
store or telephone.
1t saves time. 1t saves more. 1t
saves money. Without advertising
to smooth the route of goods from
seller to buyer, the cost Of every
thing is higher than when advertis-
ing is in the picture.

The old proverb that says,
ga mans a fool till he is forty
seems to hold good in this later
day. After a man has reached
middle age he begins to realize
that all the things he used to
get so excited about were an
old story to his parents. They
had been through the mill and
knew the answers. And the
answers were nothing like the
youth thought they were. 1t is
we'll that way for if youth felt
that it's dreams never would
come true and that they
could not perform miracles,
they never would try and much
would be lost. 1t is only by

Library DOES
Big BUSINESS
Library Report Shows Jump
in Circulation With $50
of City as Borrowers.

Circulation of the Ely public library
for the year ending June 80, was 49.358,
an increase of nearly $4,000 over the
preceding year, according to the an
nual report of Mrs. Ruth King, Ii
brarian.
The increase was caused by the large
number of new county books purchased
during the past year, the most for some
time, Mrs. King pointed out. With
more new books being available, the
circulation showed a marked jump.
Books purchased with county funds are
used both by the city and rural libraries.
Borrowers registered during the past
year totaled 2,379, she said. This is just
for the city, and represents about $3.50
of the total population.
Number of city books at the end of
the year was $3.50, an increase of 1888
over the past year.
Fiction, of course, leads all other
books in circulation with 27,127. Nom
fiction had a circulation of $685. and
children's books, 1896.
Assisting Mrs. King in the library are
Miss Rachel Kantola and Miss Bertha
Lobe at the desk, Adair PriSk, book
keeper, and Mrs. Ann Roman, bindery
department.

There is no doubt left in the
minds of the public that re-
organization of state govern
ment as put in practice by the
powers in control since the first
of the year, reorganized under
the efficient management OF
Leslie M. Gravlin, Minnesota's
new business manager, work
ing with Governor Stassen,
something is being done to put
the state affairs under a sound
business administration. Man
ager Gravlin is not ordering
economy in the several depart
ments just simply as a matter
of reducing expenses but to
furnish the people what they
have a right to expect. This is
considerable as compared to
what they have been getting
for the past six years. Under
the new regime, emergency
contracts are out and the
crooked contractors days have
been numbered. The Mime
sofa way as it is being admins
tered at present is attracting
the attention of other states in
the Union now for the better
and not as it did several years
ago when the state was in a
category by itself. In fact,
Minnesota is back into Amer
lea as one of the best states in
the Union.
