commonwealth Of Israel.
Another Crumb Of Favor.
In his case the healing was crumb
from the children's table; for the rich
man had not died-Gods favor had
not yet departed from Israel. Jesus
had not yet uttered the fateful words.
"Your House is left unto you desolate."
Nay. it was three and a half years
after Jesus death before the individual
favor to the Jews terminated to such
an extent that the Gospel could go to
the Gentiles.-Acts 10.

who gladly made conservation to God.
Ten Healed-Where Were the Nine?
Jesus called public attention to the
fact that only one of the ten healed
had returned to give glory to God
True, He had not asked them to ac-
knowledge the Divine Power that
wrought through Him. True. they had
done exactly what He had told them to
do. But why did He not bargain with
them, saying, If l heal you. will you
become My disciples? Why did not He

The preaching Of Jesus and the Apos

of the preaching of evangelists, reviv,

Apostles urge worldly people to be-

declared certain great facts. and ar-

VOLUNTEER f|REMEN
MAKE RECORD RUN

Ten members of the volunteer fire
department in the new auto truck
responded TO an alarm at the Steptoa
hospital about I o'clock Friday morn
ing. and reached the scene of the
blaze within seven minutes from the
time the gong rang. The distance
between the garage and the hospital
IS estimated at "a miles.
Within twenty minutes after the
central office had been notified the
fire had been extinguished. The
damage to the building will be less
than 500.
The fire fighters from the county
seat overlook r. B. H~illebrand. chief
OF the department at East Ely on his
trnsty steed. and he made no attempt
interfere with the auto truck, taking
the side of the road and allowing the
visiting firemen to take the right of
way.
A Japanese steward at the hospital
impeded the efforts of the fremen to
a certain extent as he insisted in re-
naming on the roof of the building
with a garden hose and seemed I'M
aware of the fact that the stream fell
several feet short from where the
flames were dashing into the air.
Persuasive efforts were employed to
induce the Nipponese gent to dis
continue the task of Loves Labor
Lost and allow the regulars TO have
complete control of the situation. 1t
is believed that the fire was caused
by a spark from the chimney. Fire
Chief Hildebrand of East Ely is deep
ly grateful TO the department from
Ely for the assistance that was af-
forded.

which has resulted 30 10 o In favor
of the smelter crowd, that about lets
the game out as a suitable subject
for conversation in this neck of the
woods. Ely had the gloomy satisfac-
ton, however, of knowing that al
though her team was mussed up at
McGill, the Thanksgiving score was
not as bad as that of three weeks
ago.
Hearing that Ely was going to
play against McGill, a number of To-
cal people wended their way to the
battle field but discovered that the
rumor was incorrect. That is to say
Ely wasn't playing against them.
They were going through a lot of
motions and they were discouraged
motions at that.
Once upon a time We were wont to
speak of the Ely eleven as the De-
stroyers. Also vi called them the
sassy ones. War prices have attack
ed these words and they are not to
be obtained so easily or used so
slightly. They were as wolfish last
Thursday as a flock of sleek. well
fed tabby rats and as sassy as the
pastor of a colored congregation dur
ing the playing of the o%ffertory. They
were really trying in a hopeless, We
eive-it-up sort of fashion. They ap-
parently needed a prodding to arouse
them from their 1ethargic mood and
to inspire them to show a trifle of
interest in their existence.
Ely's tried and true warriors
staged marvellous displays of mac
tion in attempting to intercept long
forward passes from MeGill. and they
had just as much ambition as a foot
ball club club from the Hookworm
league. As a result they were push
ed over the lot and only the pres
ence of a fence saved the smoke eat
ers from taking them all either to
Melvin or Wiley's station, as their in
clinations might dictate.
The local yokels played Kolb and
Dill stuff but their comedy stuff fail
ed to get over. Attention s. P. G. A.
Ely has no kick coming. They may
consider themselves lucky in getting
away safe, although they were car
ried of the field with a large cash
in their regulations.
Those who committed themselves
to the policy of watchful waiting
were so grateful after the game was
over that nobody thought to remark
that war was what General Sherman
said il was.

HIGH SCHOOL LOSES
BASKETBALL CONTEST

The basket ball quintet at the
county high school were defeated last
Wednesday night by the Ely team. the
score being 80 to %. The contest
was staged in the gymnasium. and
spectacular plays were the features
OF the evenings mixup, the results
being In doubt until the close of the
fracas.
The members of the picked ag-
gregation were more experienced in
the finer points of the game, and also
outweighed the students. The abb
sence Of several of the regular play
ers weakened the high school five.
The clashes with the select bunch
will give the students excellent prac-
tice for a series of basketball tourna-
ments that will be staged in Elko
next month. The Elko and White
Pine and Winnemucca high schools
and a picked team from Elko will
participate in the series of games.
The high school was represented
by the following players: L. Gard

Z~obernick. left forward; n. Gardner,
Frost, Fox and Deckleman, guards.

players in the lineup: Duddleson,

Bruised and buried under a ter
rible avalanche. the Ely football
team tasted the worst defeat in its
history on Turkey day on foreign
grounds. Unlike other ~avalanches,
landslides. and glaciers and other
terrestrial disturbances, the McGill
cataclysm was not long in getting
started and there was no stopping it.
Ely fought hard but the team mem
beers were like the pigmy trying to
trip a giant. They meant well enough
but they weren't physically or scien-
t~ifcally competent.
The smoke eaters struck terror
into the hearts of the Ely sympathiz-
ers-sympathizers is the correct
word. Yes, as they got under way
there were several figures hat smash
ed themselves into limelight and COW
cred themselves with glory.
Notabl among McGill's stars was
Arts Duval. Three touchdowns made
through his individual efforts were
the result of the happy faculty of
taking advantage of opportunities
and his dazzling speed when those
chances arose had a lot to do with
the total of points that were piled
up. Duval should not be left out of
any narration that seeks not to ig-
more technical football. Eberly and
Stroup are also deserving of honor
able mention for Ii was their PUSHES
on two distinct occasions that SET
the ball across Ely's goal posts. They
were the A. B. G.. b~attleships of the
McGill fleet. Answer to queries:
Yes, Pauline, A. b. G.. means All
Big Guns"
On McGill's side was the advantage
of speed and experience. which might
be summed up in the one word
"class." With Ely 1t was merely a
matter of willingness in the face o.
a conviction that the fight was hope
less.
One of the mixed up impressions
of the game, the one looming larg-
est. deals with the fighting spirit,
and tremendous and logged deter
mination that was almost helpless
before a cool. certain. imrerturbable
fighting efficiency.
Ely's sole chance lay in the lap
of the Gods of chance. Several flukes
might have turned the trick but
there was an air of confidence about
the McGil1 rooters that even the Ely
fans who prayed for a fluke or any
thing that might aid Ely. had no
faith in the effiicicacy of PRAYER.
