Mrs. w. Remington, National
Speaker, Addressed Group
Here Wednesday.

Urging the election of Wendell Willkie,
Mrs w. w. Remington of Minneapolis,
addressed a large audience of ladies at
the Community Center on Wednesday
evening
The meeting was presided over by
Mrs. Rose Svetich, who introduced Mrs.
Remington, nationally known COP lee
turer and student of international
relations, who is making tour of the
state in the interest of the party and
sponsored by the National Republican
committee.
The address of Mrs. Remington was
received with enthusiasm and was pro-
nounced one of the best campaign
speeches ever heard in this city. She
urged thinking on the part of the voter
and cited conditions in this country
under the present administration as
a reason for a change.
Pointing to conditions in totalitarian
and dictator countries where there is
no freedom of expression and in
tolerance is rampant the speaker told OF
the billions of debt incurred in this
country during the past years in a
defense program not carried out.
She enumerated the problems that
go with such an enormous debt and
debts to follow to place America on a
defensive basis and stressed the business
training of the Republican candidate
backed by a Republican congress, as
the more qualified to carry on.
Mrs. Remington appeared before the
ladies clubs in all the range cities and
also at Duluth during the week. Every
where she was met with large crowds
and everywhere made a hit with her
audiences.

TRUTH about ADVERTISING
Rx CHARLES r ROTH
WHAT ABOUT PRIcE7
BY CHARLES B. ROTH

comes out publicly in the newspa-
pers with his price. We consult
these prices before we buy.
Seen in this light, advertising be-
comes the informant that prevents
dishonest sellers from taking advan-
tage of us and our ignorance of
prices we might have to pay.
A recent mystery drama has the
villain contriving to plunge the city
into complete darkness for one
night, so that he and his henchmen
can dash in and make away with
their loot. eve who have some
thing dastardly to put over" he OBJ
served, Unjust needs fear the light. T"
High prices, skinny quality, gyp
products also must needs fear the
light. That is why they are cloaked
in such phrases as: "We don't adj
vertise. We pass the savings along
to YOU" "Why pay the high cost OF
advertising? We put it into our
goods" etc., etc.
But the merchant who advertises
uses the light of advertising, and
asks you to compare his goods and
his prices and to find out before you
buy. You can always pay his price
because it is the right price. That
you know because the protective
power of advertising has told you
that it is.
And this protective power of ad
vertising is working for you every
time you unfold your newspaper anc
read an advertisement. That blacl
print on white represents a buying
| guide which is worth several hun
dred dollars a year to you and you
family.

Sign Project for Fernberg
"Sign City" at Winton Slated
for Discard; Rustic Ones
for Resort Roads.

Another "sign city" is slated to end
as kindling wood through the efforts
of the U. S. Forest service. Awaiting
only the routine approval of the re-
gional office at Milwaukee is a new
two-post slat directional sign to re-
place a dozen or more individual ones.
The composite affair will be erected
on the east side of the Winton bridge
and will direct traffic up the Fernberg
trail. Along the trail the resorters are
putting up rustic signs of their own
to steer visitors into their places to
further eliminate unsightly board-end-
post affairs.
A year ago through the efforts of
the Ely Commercial club, 20 resorters
sign erected at the east edge of the
city and to take down the individual
ones. With the relocation of No. the
large affair was moved, but three in
dividual signs and similar number of
nail-studded posts are still at the old
| location.
| Left are three other "sign cities
which in the course OF time undoubtedly
will be replaced by large directional
signs containing names of the various
resorts concerned. No. on the list
is the junction of the Grant McMahar
boulevard and the Ely-Winton roac
decorated with % individual signs Of
various sizes types and designs. Six
teen of the % are again represented
at the point where the White Iron roat
leaves the Ely-Winton road. On the
road into BURNSIDE lake from No. /
three miles west of Ely, are severa
signs.
The sign setup of the Fernberg roaC
was designed by the forest service
office here. 1t is complete from the
Winton bridge to the end of the trail
At the junction of the Snowbank roaC
and the trail five-slat sign will bt
erected to serve as many resorts. Ths
design of all signs is rustic and to fl
in with the wild surroundings.
According to Ranger Frank Legat, WHIT
promoted them, the new signs have me
the approval of resorters and they have
cooperated fully in the roadside beauti
fication project.

MANGANESE TO
BE DEVELOPED?
Curtailment of Imports Might
Mean New Industry for
Minnesota Ranges.

The possibility of developing the
manganese ore deposits of the Guyana
range in case of national emergency is
being determined by E. w. Davis, di-
rector of the University of Minnesota
mines experiment station, who will sub
NIT a report of his findings to the
national defense committee.
Most manganese used in the nations
steel industry comes from Russia.
Influencing the probability of de-
veloping the deposits are threat of
curtailment of imports, provisions in
the excess profits bill for amortization
of defense plant costs, and the pro-
posed natural gas pipe line to northern
Minnesota, Davis told the Associated
Press. Under normal conditions de-
velopment of the Guyana deposits would
be improbable because the reducing
process is very expensive.
Davis is now building small test
unit in the Mines Experiment Station
to determine whether all types of the
manganese ore can be satisfactorily
treated by teaching, for unless the man
ganese can be leached from the ore
chemically there is no possibility OF
taking further steps. After making
certain tests with this mill he expects
to design a commercial unit.
The Davis report will deal with the
so-called Bradley process developed anc
patented by the late Wilson Bradley
who made the study of Guyana range
manganese ore his life work and who
developed a chemical method for OBJ
tanning the ferro-grade manganese from
ore of the Minnesota type. Bradley die
his work in the laboratory and late
tried it out in small-scale expert
mental mill in the Mines Experiment
Station on the university campus. TIL,
Davis report will also cover one othel
process, called the SO-2 process, which
is not patented as the Bradley pro
cess is.

what is called the law of supply
and demand.
This law teaches us that when
the demand for anything exceeds
the supply, prices 60 up. Converse
iy, when supply is plentiful but de-
mand is light, prices go down. But
how can we as customers know that
this law won't be tempered with
and men, shrewd, scheming and
selfish, step in and raise prices and
gouge us by making us pay them?
They could, you know, and we would
not be any the wiser.
Our safeguard against this is the
advertising we see in the newspa-
pers. That protects us. Under our
competitive system of buying and
selling, one merchant vies with an
other merchant for our trade. Each

Roger Babson in his weekly review
in speaking of population gains stated
that the small towns have it all over
the large cities. In the larger cities
the taxes are very high and the growth
small. The smaller cities with popula-
tions of from 10000 to 10000 have
shown good gains. Led by their local
papers these cities are all community
minded and the populace is optimistic.
Knowing one another the business
leaders and wage workers of the smaller
communities cooperate and in this
spirit they go ahead materially and
spiritually. In the long run these two
aims must go together. One is the
lock, the other the key.

Game wardens are not so much con-
cerned with selling subscriptions and
swelling the treasury with fines COL
lected after the damage has been done
and the game and fish in the bag, but
are waging more of an educational cam
paign to acquaint hunters and fisher
men of the dire effect of destroying
natural resources. The effects OF the
Strunk policy is already being felt and
his administration, if carried through
as planned will rebound to the adj
vantage of the people of the state and
not to the advantage of politicians
With all this to the credit OF the

wardens in this game country of ours

see by each warden, the men are
