we'll as sit on?
He is more likely to be contented if
the play-pen is in the same room with
his mother; which means that while
she is moving about the house a good
deal, up and down stairs, he will some
times want to follow after. When she's
sitting quietly in one spot, sewing, or
preparing vegetables, he'll not mind
being in the pen, if he can watch her.
Of course it won't hurt him a bit to
be left bowling now and then. He's
got to learn to rely on himself for
amusement. But it's not fair to expect
him to be happy if his playthings are
extremely limited and no longer offer
new ideas for play. His mother should
remember not to take him out of the
pen while he's crying, but wait for a
lull. If she does respond to his demand
while he's crying, she can expect him
to profit by finding that that be-
havior works, and to try it again and
again.

BABY'S PLAY PEN

my baby, who is just learning to
walk, is no longer contented to stay
in his play pen. He throws toys out
and then stands there shaking the
bars, whining, and finally screaming his
lungs out if I don't take him out He's
an awful nuisance outside, as he can
get into so many things now that he
can toddle around. How can I get him
to stay happily in his penn"
There are several things to think OF
in connection with situation like this
First of all, perhaps, we might mention
that this baby is now old enough to
want companionship, to appreciate
thoroughly having other people around
to watch. He wants some one to talk
to him occasionally. He has come te
feel that being in his pen isolates him
from what is going on in the rest Of
the house. And yet it will be quite a
long time before he can be allowed to
play outside alone safely or even be-
fore he can have the run of the house
It would tie his mother down too much
to have to watch him every minute and
it wouldn't be good for him to feel that
he must have her constant companion
ship.
Here are some questions I'd like to
ask his mother Has she got into the
habit of expecting him ito stay in his
pen too long at time so that he has
become bored? Has he exhausted the
possibilities of the playthings he has?
Does he need some new more advanced
things to do to stimulate his INTEREST,"
Maybe he is utterly tired of the ball
the rattle, the blocks that sufficed him
perfectly well few weeks back. How
about giving him some interesting new
thing each day for while as he's
put into the pen? One day few pans
with lids that he can try to put on and
take off; another, some rubber jar
rings and clothespins that he can drop
into quart jar and empty out again
A train of flat, wooden cars, hooked
together that he can push about the
floor of the pen will be welcomed, as
will bright-colored wooden discs of
graduated sizes, that he can fit over a
wooden upright piece. Look around the
house for ideas as to things he can
be allowed to play with safely. Such
things often are of more interest than
bought toys.
But of course no youngSter of his
age, who can move about under his
own steam, is going to want to stay
a long time in so confined a space as
the average play-pen. He must have
things that will keep him busy outside,
too, so that he won't be underfoot too
much, or getting into mischief. Has
he kiddie-car? Are there steps that
he can climb safely? Does he have a
little chair that he can carry about, as

STATE SEEKS
LEASE RENEWAL
Extension of Leases on Buhl
and Keewatin Mines Now
Being Negotiated.

The department of conservation an
nounced this week that negotiations
have been started for extension of
leases on two state-owned iron mines.
Under consideration are leases cover
ing the Stein Reserve Mine at Kee-
watin, which will expire in January,
1913, and the Grant Mine at Bull, ex-
piring in May, 1912.
The reason for the early considera-
ton of lease renewal applications af-
fecting these properties, the depart
ment said, is that both mines are
capable of exhaustion before expira-
ton of the present leases.
The present leases provide royalty
rate of 25 cents per ton to the state,
whereas the minimum royalty fee pro-
vided for renewal of leases is SO cents
per ton.
To date the department of conserva-
| ton has received applications for ex-
| tension of leases on several additional
properties, but negotiations on these
have not been started as yet. One
property is on the Vermilion range
All extensions must be granted with
the approval of the state executive
council: Additional applications are:
Hoyt Mining Company, Scranton
mine at Hibbing; Warden Land Com
pany, Warden mine, Vermilion range
Oliver Iron Mining Company, Missabe
Mountain, Minnewas, Prindle mines at
Virginia, Leonidas mine at Eveleth and
Oliver Reserve at Mountain Iron.
Three of the mines, the Minnewas
and Prindle at Virginia, and the Leon
idas at Eveleth, each include two leases

Seek Data on Number
Pike Fry SurUiUing

Experiments to determine the sur
vival percentages of wall-eyed pike fry
in the average Minnesota lake were
continued into next spring by the de-
partment of conservation.
Early this year fish technicians for
the department planted thousands of
wall-eyed fry in a 10 acre lake in
Itasca state park. To simulate actual
conditions, the lake was stocked with
other species as well.
Next spring technicians will seine
and poison out the lake to determine
what percentage of the tiny wall-eyes
survived. At that time the experiments
will be broadened on several additional
lakes in the park.

TRUTH about ADVERTISING
TRADE MARKS AND DOLLAR MARKS
By CHARLES B. ROTH

of consumers like yourself.
The trade mark which saves you
money and time need not be for
NAL design of a national manufac-
turer or advertiser. 1t may be
merely the familiar name of your
grocer or haberdasher, appearing at
the foot of his advertisements in the
newspaper.
Wherever you see those familiar
words or names or marks you know
that you are in the presence of a
man who is doing his level best to
be worthy of your trade and who
wants to keep you coming back.
He is advertising for that purpose,
notifying you that he is in business
to stay and that you can buy from
him and he will stand back of his
goods. For you the trade mark, like
the dollar mark which we all re-
spect, stands for full value wher-
ever it happens to be found.
But unidentified goods are as I'M
certain as counterfeit money, and
the wise man or woman avoids both.
And how close these trade marks
are to our lives and how comforting
they are to us when we buy! You
go into a store. On the shelves are
familiar marks you have seen all
your life.
You recognize them as you do
familiar faces in a strange crowd
and they give you the same comfort
ing feeling of familiarity and re-
spect.
Trade marks exist to help you
buy more serenely and proitably.

Council Asks Judges to
Name New Charter Group
Takes Action So Proposed
Paving Amendment Can be
Voted on in December.

Judges of the Eleventh judicial dis
trict will be petitioned to name a new
charter commission for the city of Ely,
according to action taken Tuesday
evening by the council.
The judges will assemble and select
the 15-member commission from per-
sons who have been voting residents of
the city for at least five years and who
are free holders.
An attempt is being made to have
the commission named Immediately so
that an amendment to the charter per-
hitting the paving of streets and alleys
without assessing a portion of the cost
to property owners can be drawn up for
consideration by the voters at the city
election in December.
Fred James, city assessor and sec
rotary of the last commission, told the
council that terms of members had ex-
pired, and that it would be necessary
to appoint a new one Members serve
for four years, and the last one was
appointed in January, 1882.

There is some agitation to remove
movie stars from the draft as being
essential to an industry which is main
tanning civilian morale through enter
tainment. How about major and minor
league baseball players, college football
stars and radio entertainers and long
list of others. Once such scheme is
started there will be no end of trouble
and the final idea will dwindle down to
drafting fellows with no pull and with
Jobs of no consequence. Democracy
will be in for solar plexus blow in case
this is carried through.

Hundreds of young men all over the
country have revived the art of prize
fighting since the draft was first talked
of, says a report eminating from God

fishy but if true, it means that the

We may desire fighters and lots OF

feel disposed to attack us, not so i'm

his chest and died within a few
minutes after the British reached
him.
The British fire was so heavy
that Italian tank crews were un-
able to. get from their tents to
their tanks a short distance away,
and as the British tanks took their
deadly toll, the Italian tanks stood
empty and idle. This apparently
was one of the main reasons for
the quick British victory.
The confusion of the Italians in.
creased as 60 horses and mules,
terrified by the noise of the firing,
stampeded through the fort.
Despite the gallant attempt to
hold the fortress, first by Gen.
Maletti and then by his second
in command, Colonel Carmelo Giuf-
frida, with British tanks tearing
around inside and infantry follow
ing them with machine-guns and
rifle fire and bayonets, Italian SUR
render was inevitable.
Once the British were inside,
the Italians had only the protection
of their tents and trenches and
a few dugouts.
MANY of the men jumped into
the refuge trenches" an Italian
surgeon who is still here caring
for the wounded told me. ."They
didn't know it but they were jump
ing into their own graves because
the shells came pouring into the
trenches after them.
~"Shrapnel hit the medicine chest
and when a vat of c~reosote burst
the men thought it was poison
gas"
A considerable number of Ital.
ians were killed here, 800 wounded
and 1000 captured. Not a man
escaped. The full 'Maletti crack
unit which comprised two 'battal-
ions of Libyans, tank corps, motor
transport corps, armored a corps,
artillery and engineers, all Ital-
lans, YER in the fortress at the
time of the attack.
Leaving a small detachment be-
hind, the British moved northward
ten miles to the east and west
forts at Tummar where the Ital-
lans, now aware of the British
drive, offered longer but no more
effective resistance than the men
at Nibiewa.
The way to Sidi Barrani was
then open. $

Picture Of Santa Claus
Causes Row In Indiana

SANTA CLAUS, Ind, Dec. 15.-R
"A portrait of Santa Claus, showing
him as a sort of a gay cavalier, is
causing a new furore in this title
southern Indiana town, already the
center of several court suits involv-
ing the commercial use of the name
of the Christmas saint.
The portrait, painted by Emil o..
Strauss, Chicago artist, hangs in a
business establishment here and Mil
ton Harris, proprietor of the place
says it has drawn much criticism
from Santa Claus natives and visi-
tors. But Harris defends the artists
idea.
The objections, Harris said, have
been because the picture does not
show Santa exactly in accordance
with the popular conception.
