WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1920 -7 THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEEk WORLD NEEDS THE ELDERLY! QRANGE MEANT LIFE TO HIM Their Ripened Experience and De-| Gratification of 8tck Soldier's Whim veloped Judgment Make Them of Value to the Community. Hardly anyone, if indeed anyone at all, holds at thirty-five that he was wiser when he was twenty-five, or says at fifty that he knew more, and had better judgment, when he was thirty- five. Yet young men are prone to lookl upon older men as being dis- pensable. If a man could live to be two hundred years old, retaining his mental faculties unimpaired, leading an active life as a member of a profession or a man {n business, his ripened experi- ence, his developed judgment, his vista, would make him worth as much as a dozen youngsters in many respects. Dr. William Mayo of Minnesota, un- like Doctor Osler who retired discom- fited and never really explained, when he made his famous declaration and gave to the English language the term “oslerized,” says old men are the na- tion's greatest assets. Aboriginal sav- ages said the same thing. The aged Indian at the council fire was worth a score of young bucks on the battle line. One of the most valuable uses to which the experience of old men is put is detecting the sophistries of extrem- ists and resisting agitators who urge perllous innovation. Doctor Mayo believes 15 years add- ed to the average life since the Civil war constitutes a task only half done. Another 15 years may be added by medical and surgical science plus edu- cation which will lead to early adop- tion of measures to preserve health. The slogan, “A short life and a mer- ry one,” shortens life. Doctor Mayo says and robs a race of a social ele- ment—hale and useful seniors—upon which a value too high cannot be set. Assuredly, a sane life and a long one 18 desirable from the point of view of both the state and individual. The man who believes at fifty, or sixty, or seventy, that his judgment is better than it formerly was is alto- gether right.—Louisville Courier-Jour- nal. ALASKAN “GOLD-LODE MINING Already Profitable, the Completion of the Government Railroad WiH Aid in Its Development. Twenty-five gold-lode mines were op- erated in Alaska in 1918, according to the United States geological sur- vey, department of the interior. There was also a production from seven prospects—abandoned mines or small mines that were not in regular oper- ation. The value of the lode-gold out- put decreased from $4,581,453 in 1917 to $3,473,317 in 1918, owing partly to the disaster at the Treadwell mine in April, 1917, and partly to curtailment Alded In Putting Him on Road to Recovery. The importence of little things which go to make up the sum of hu- man happiness has been forcefully brought out during the recent war experiences. We are apt to grow care- less in.the busy rush of everyday life and to neglect many things which, while seeming trivial, may mean even life to some one. In an issue of the Modern Hos- pital an instance is cited which shows the importance of small things. According to the Red Cross nurses, sick soldiers are not unlike sick children, and gratifying their little whims does a great deal to put them on the road to recovery. Be- cause of this, every effort was made to supply even the most trifling things which the soldiers expressed a wish for. The case in point was that of a buddy who in his feverish con- dition craved an acid fruit. Fruit was hard to secure, but after what seemed almost insurmountable diffi- culties, a big, juicy orange was placed in his eager hands. The small supply procurable lasted until his recovery was assured, and con- tributed not a little to that much- desired end.

FINEST TIARA, [ = . ¥ | Juneau district, is still the only cen- ter of large quartz-mining operations in the territory. Next in importance 1s the Willow Creek lode district. The production in the Fairbanks district decreased materially, as the lode-mine owners of Fairbanks are still await- ing the cheapening of operating costs, especially of fuel, which is expected on the completion of the government rallroad. In 1918 the average value of the gold and silver contents for all siliceous ores mined was $1.70 a ton; the average for 1917 was $1.37 a ton. These averages reflect the dominance in the total lode production of the large tonnage produced from the low- grade ores of the Juneau district. Absonce Sometimes Evidence of Tact. Sometimes it’s an evidence of tact. when people absent themselves. Only big people can do it. Children and childish adults have to hang around with open mouths and staring eyes lest something escape them. They are the omnipresent nuisances that make you want to tell them things. Really big people can afford to let others do a few things without permission. What others do ought not to detract vitally from what you do unless what you attempt is so small that it takes little to overshadow it. Besides it's only fair that others should have an opportunity of showing what they can do. The world will think more of you if you give it a chance to pass judg- ment on its efforts. And what is more mere obstruction won’t stop things anyway. The best way to make things popular is to furnish sufficient unjust opposition. The persecution occasfon- ed makes friends for the other side. —Exchange. Newspaper Printed in 1788. A rare copy of a newspaper has come into the possession of the Colum- bia university ltbrary, Dr. Carpenter, acting librarian, announced, in the pur- chase of a copy of the Pennsylvania Packet and Daily Advertiser for April 14, 1788, from W. F. Smith of Phila- delphia. The paper, which was pub- lished by John Dunlap and David C. Claypool in Philadelphia, is four pages in size, contains about two columns of news ard the balance is filled by commercial advertising. Of particular interest is a brief account of the Co- lumbia college commencement of 1788. The first name on the list of candi- dates awarded the master of arts de- gree is Alexander Hamilton, and De ‘Witt Clinton holds the same position among the receivers of bachelor of arts diplomas.
