WHAT OTHERS SAY

What a snap. A young man asking
father for his daughters hand in
marriage, was asked what his financial
prospects were. He enthusiastically de-
clared that the F. S. A. would buy a
farm for him. A. A. A. would pay
him to work only part of it. w. P. A.
would give his wife work in the sew
ing room and himself some on the
roads, the S. C. would furnish food,
the extension service would arrange
for mattresses and bedding, and federal
agencies would supply doctors and
hospital needs if necessary. He said
no young couple ever faced the future
with brighter rospects.-Kansas City

WORK SEEKERS
AT LOW Level
Defense Program Cuts Reserve
Man Power in Ely-Tower
Area to New Low.

An indication of the overall effect
that the defense program is having on
the reserve man-power in the Ely
Tower area can be obtained from the
fact that the number of persons now
registered for work at local offices of
the Employment Security Division was,
at the end of September, appreciably
lower than it has been for several
years and was approximately one-third
fewer than year ago.
The states employment service in
this area is under the jurisdiction of
Edward G.. Stonich, who is manager of
the full-time Office at Ely and respon-
sible for the itinerant service at
Tower.
According to Mr.. Stonich's monthly
report, at the close of September job
registrants in his Jurisdiction totaled
$50. This number is 259 (30.8 per cent?
fewer than the registration on Sept
80 of last year.
This decrease follows a trend that
is general at the 81 full-time Offices
of the division in the state, according
to advice received from Victor Christ
gau, the divisions director. Total regis
tration in the state at the end of
September was 76,990. This number is
10 per cent below the total on Aug. 80
and 47.3 per cent below the figure at
the close of September year ago.
The Ely Offices monthly report
showed 10 placements; 46.2 per cent
more than in August and 70 per cent
more than in September a year ago
During the month only 16 new claims
for unemployment compensation were
fled This number is 54.3 per cent
fewer than in August and 81 per cent
below the total in September of last

noon Looking for Way
Out of Woods.

An Ely priest, lost for about four hours
in the wilderness near Babbitt, found"
himself late Wednesday afternoon just
as assistance from Ely was being
sought.
Father Carl Priley had gone partridge
hunting with Father Frank Mihelcic
and John Hutar. Father Priley became
separated from the other two, and
wandered through the woods most of
the afternoon trying to find his way
out.
In the meantime Father Mihelcic and
Hutar, assisted by two Babbitt men,
began a search for Father Priley and
as evening approached telephoned the
Ely fire department for volunteers
The call had no sooner been made than
Father Priley came out near SCOTS
farm, and the department here was
Immediately notified.
Father Priley said he was just pre-
pairing to build a fire and spend the
night in the woods when he came upon
the farm. He had tramped through
dense thickets and swamps, and hac
waded waist deep though a river.

GOOD Oh Days
Bloomer Costumes Worn by
Frontier Women.

A young lady dressed in the new
fashioned Turkish trousers and short
skirts" was greeted by "quite an as
semblage" at the st. Paul levee when
she stepped off the steamboat "Nom-
inee" ninety years ago, according to
the Minnesota Pioneer" for June 26,
1851. The editor of the Pioneer"
James. NJ Goodhue, must have been
among the curious spectators, for he
reported that "The girl looked remark
ably well, as far as we cuold see."
The "bloomer costume" as the form
of dress designed and worn by Mrs.
Amelia Bloomer about 1850 was called,
was the subject of frequent comment
in the Pioneer" in the summer of
1851.
On July "a the editor announced that
the new costume "has made its ap-
pearance in Galena and Dubuque"
and he remarked that "This is the
prevailing costume for females at
Traverse DIES Sioux, the fashionable
summer resort, or what the ST. An
thony Express calls the Saratoga OF
Minnesota }"
Goodhue pointed out that "This cos
tune may be seen daily on our streets
worn by the natives. 1t is what Mrs.
Bloomer claims for it, neither Turk
ish, nor Persian, nor Arabian, but pre-
eminently American
The frontier editor seems to have
approved of the new costume, and he
recommended it particularly for "ladies
who ride on horseback, instead of the
sweeping skidts" A file of the
"Pioneer" in which Goodhue's remarks
on the bloomer costume appear is
owned by the Minnesota Historical
society.

With the lowering of the income tax
base from 1855 to $3.50 for single per-
sons and from $4,000 to $1,50O for the
married folks, it is estimated that
nearly five million additional persons
will have to make out an income tax
report, although with the exemptions
that are allowed only about half that
number will have to pay any tax.
These potential tax payers will have
to do their own figuring on just how
to escape paying anything to the gov

The dairy industry still hopes that
Security Administrator McNutt Will
reconsider his oleo ruling and give
them another hearing. If that fails,
they plan on trying to pass the Andre
Sent Gillette bill which would prohibit
shipment of colored or favored oleo
in interstate commerce.
There seems to be considerable
doubt here whether the Democrats will
ever let that bill out of committee. In
which case, the simplest way to get
the issue before Congress would be to
offer an amendment to the admins
trative tax bill due for consideration
sometime in the next couple of months.
have an amendment prepared
which would increase the tax on
colored oleo from 10 to Is cents a
pound and make it apply on artificial
ly favored as well as colored oleo.
When butter is above 80 cents a
pound, oleo can pay the 10 cents tax
and still make a good profit and the
margin increases as butter prices go
up. Danger to the dairy industry is
not immediate as the defense boom
will keep butter sales up despite high
prices, but when the emergency is
over, the oleo market may be found
greatly expanded.
Reports here are that when the
resolution repeating the ban on arming
of merchant ships comes over to the
Senate from the House, an attempt
| will be made in the upper chamber
to enlarge the measure to repeal as
well that section of the Neutrality ACT
prohibiting American merchant ships
from calling at ports of belligerent
nations. There probably are enough
votes to do that in the Sen
ate, which has consistently supported
the nations foreign policy more
strongly than the House.
There are a substantial number Of
senators who would much prefer tx
repeal the act entirely rather than q
at it in this piecemeal fashion. Re.
pealing sections two and six, the!
feel. would take the heart out Of the
bill and leave only an empty shell.
Inasmuch as the United States ha.
not, in action, policy or intent, beer
neutral for the past two years, the!
feel that leaving meaningless shell
called a Neutrality act on the statutt
books will fool no one with the pos
sible exception of the American
people themselves, and they don't ik'
that Some who favor that course alst
believe that repeal of the act at thi
time, against the background of th'
lend-lease policy, would be tantamount
to a declaration of naval warfare OF
Germany.
The War and Navy departments
seem to be making some progress il
their drive to force more and more
subcontracting of defense orders 81
as to bring smaller industry into TIT
defense picture.
Recently the War department an
nounced that its new 105 nm. howit.
yer is being assembled from compo
nent parts made by refrigerator

Virginia Enterprise of the
teachers which the Duluth school board
would like to have take certain pen
sion annuity counters with the sug-
gestion that reductions in the force
ought to be made by dropping the
married women whose husbands are
enviably situated, and it's a good piece
of advice. However, we do not express
it as related to the present proceedings
before the board involving average
teachers. Tenure laws applicable to
the larger cities have succeeded in
taking out of school boards hands any
control over firing, and the result is
that a privileged class of selfish people
has been built up, married women
teachers who have husbands with large
income continuing in the service, thus
depriving younger and better qualified
teacher candidates from getting jobs

supposed to be yielded through tenure
statutes, in Minnesota device which

ARE THE LINKS ALL RIGHT?

Everyone must know that the great
power and strength of the American ma
tions are found in the ties of friendship and
confidence that have bound together the
United States, Dominion of Canada and the
Central and South American Republics
But how easily we overlook the old truth
that chain is only as strong as its weakest
link We know perfectly we'll that there
are weak links in some of the 81 Latin
American nations
The reader will recall that at one time
this year there was general discussion of
a proposal for the United States to promote.
finance and take an active part in arming
all of the Latin American Republics for
solidarity and defense on this continent.
One reason why the matter was dropped
like hot potato was because there was
doubt as to which way some of those Re-
publics might aim their guns, while we re-
NAMED in close range. American-owned
properties have been seized in violation of
international law by Mexico and Bolivia.
The Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea
and the East and West coasts have long of
fered profitable trade routes for nations of
Europe and Asia This has been occupy
ing the attention Of official branches of our
own government In recent months while
strengthening our own National Defenses
we have been preparing to protect Latin
America against possible aggressions.
Yards of resolutions have been passed
to overcome distrust of Latin neighbors who
have let Uncle Sam down ever since the
Monroe Doctrine was first mentioned.
In 1880 Dwight Morrow returned to
the United States after three years spent in
pacifying Mexico. But since then there
have been new administrations and leaders
in that strange country and they have de-
veloped new ways to live--off the United
States.

NEBULA MOVING TOWARDS EARTH

The astronomers report that minute
planetary nebula is speeding $4,000 miles
an hour in the general direction of the
earth.
This may be important news but not
to those now living on this globe. The
nebula is SO far away that its light requires
10000 years to reach the good earth and
light, as readers recall, travels 1876, 600
miles per second. g. qa9 ss,,,e
More remarkable than the information
about this nebula is the revelation that man
has reached stage of development that
enables him to discover facts about the uni
verse and to know what is going on nearly
so trillion miles from where he lives.
OF course. 60 trillion miles is walking
distance in the great universe where our
globe spins and turns but It Is the approxi-
mate distance that man could travel in ten
years if he could fly through space at the
speed of light.

STEPPING LIVELY

Designation Of the Key West naval
station as the fastest moving construction
unit Of its class in the nation is a distinct
honor for everyone who had anything to do
with it.
The station during July led every other
station in the class 2 group-those with
monthly contract expenditures between
100000 and $500, 0OO--pl placing, itself in
line for the navy'so pennants efts excel
lence. as ss nav 40 81 ditN asas
Chief criterion of excellence, in the
language of the navy's bureau of yards and
docks, is speed Of construction, and 1t was in
speed that the local unit shined during
July.
We haven't the slightest idea how
many stations come within the same class
as the local group, but we do know that Sc
lection Of the local unit as the leader Of them
all puts it at the top Of sizeable list.
First on the list Of those whose efforts
are complimented by the award is Lieut..
Albert J. Fay, who, as public works officer,
directs all construction for the navy in Key
West. Obviously, however, the award goes
right ON down the line to the contractors,
the carpenters, the brick masons, the labor
ers AID everyone, else who added the little
extra speed and energy that was needed to
,overshadow the rest Of the competitors
The amazing thing about the award
Is that 1t came fora period when local
workers put in only three weeks of the
month. The other week was devoted to a
strike.
