THE Miner last week entered
upon its 21st year of activity and
usefulness. The Miner has con-
sistently blown its horn for the
benefit of Ely and its citizens for
the past twenty years and during
that time has made many friends
and also some enemies. To both
we extend our best wishes. We
will continue as in the past to
boost Ely on every possible occa-
sion. We have always had faith
in this beautiful city and our faith
is being strengthened every day.
Keep your eye on Ely. Also keep
your eye on the Miner. Two
dollars year is all that is required
to get an eye full.
The Ely miner., 1915-07-23

THE Miner has always main
tained that Ely was the best towr
in the northwest. We still adhere
to this statement aud prove it by
several facts that are not to be dis.
puted. In the first place this is an
all year" town and not merely q
summer town." Secondly, the
wages paid in all branches Of our
industries are of the top-notch kind
and our people are provident and
frugal. The statements of the
banks prove it. Thirdly, the city
is building up as fast as a good
live city should and at the present
time there are are no less than SO
new buildings in course of con-
struction, real estate is advancing
in price and the investor is getting
the worth of his money. Fourthly,
there is not an able bodied man in
town desiring employment but
what can have it. Filthy, etc. for
a column or two.
Keep your eye on Ely. Watch
us grow. This is no boom, only a
natural growth and one that will
stay with us and not like many of
the mushroom towns fade away
with daylight. We have popula-
tion of between five and six thous-
and souls and all are stable and
progressive and not of the floating
kind. Keep your eye on Ely.

THE anti-road house law was
held constitutional Friday by the
supreme court of the state of Min
nesota in a decision handed down
in the case of William L. Kohlman
who was arrested on a charge of
operating blind pig at Kohlman
lake. The decision of Judge
Michael of the Ramsey district
court was reversed. The supreme
court held that certain alleged
irregularities in the house of the
Minnesota legislature at the time
of the passage of the law did not
void it. The court held that the
passage of the law by a vote of
more than two-thirds of the house
in the legislature automatically
suspended the rules, regardless of
the failure of the house formally to
do so. This decision will close
several places in St. Louis county.

THE esteemed Duluth News-Tri-
bune is Dragging its head off on its
scoop of having heralded the first
news to the sorrowing parents of a
wayward son. The N. 7. is en-
titled to all the credit it can derive
from such inhuman thoughts.
While the news of the downfall of
the son was newspaper duty the
hilarity and enthusiasm displayed
in claiming credit for being the
first to bring it to the attention of
the parents, is entirely unnecessary.
The parents certainly have trouble
enough.

Dear Mr.. Editor:

Il
In continuing my last week.
letter, l want to reiterate very
emphatically, that the NEWS
PAPERS OF THE COUNTRY
TOWNS OF THE UNITED
STATES ARE, IF PROPERLY
| USED, POSITIVELY THE BEST
SELLING MEDIUMS FOR THE
| MONEY IN THE WORLD
Anyone who has had any exper.
ience in the mail order business
and knows something about the
cost of those big catalogues and the
expense connected with getting
them into the hands of the con-
sumer, will vouch for the truth of
the foregoing statement, especially
when the pulling power of the
Catalogue as against the right kind
of All advertisement in the country
newspaper is taken into considera-
ton.
What l mean by the right kind
of advertising in the country town
newspaper is the same kind of ad-
vertising which you will find in the
mail order catalogues. The goods
must be described with the same
care and detail, there must be a
good illustration and, most i'm
portant of all, price should be
quoted. In short, the newspaper
advertisement to be effective, must
have all the selling pull which
means the same atmosphere of
bargain sale offers which distin-
guishes the advertisement in the
big catalogue, or which may be
noticed in the newspaper advertise
ments of the large department
stores of the leading cities.
Every man or woman who reads
this article can call to mind great
many country merchants who have
paid out good money year after
year during perhaps quarter of a
century, for the mention of their
names and lines of trade in the
home town newspaper. The COM
mon form of such so-called adver-
tising is run this way:
F. w. SDHMIDT & BROS.
Dry Goods and Groceries
High grade shoes for men and |
boys. Children's dresses.
You will find that most of the
of the country towns
are carrying bulletin board adver-
tisements of that kind TODAY.
Storekeepers think that they are
boosting the work of the town
paper by making little weekly
contribution for that sort of adver-
t1slng, and perhaps they are, but
they are wasting money and
golden opportunity.
When manufacturer wants to
make the public familiar with the
name of Liver Pill, Horse Lini-
ment, or Breakfast Food, he takes
the proper course when he sticks
the name up wherever it can be
seen by the people, but the wise
merchant of the big
cities advertises his goods first and
his name as of secondary i'm
portance.
The country merchants and pro-
men, lawyers, doctors,
bankers, contractors, builders, all
have one common interest, and

put your shoulders to the wheel in

courage life in the town by pro-
noting amusements that will bring
the young people in from the

A country town which has no
pastimes. no athletic sports, or no
places of amusement that are clean
and wholesome, is not likely to be
attractive to the farmer or his help.
Therefore, all clean outdoor as we'll
as indoor games for the winter
should be encouraged. Some
towns make the mistake of sup
pressing them.
Avoid the fallacy of all talk
about patronizing home industry.
Let it be known that the business
men of your town are a lot of good
fellows, and that you always have
the latch string on the outside, and
welcome the competition of the
world in cheap prices, quality and
everlasting hustle, enterprise and
go-ahead progressiveness. That
policy will gain the confidence of
every buyer in your town and
neighborhood, which will spell a
trade boom for your home town
and slump in the business of
your big city competitor.
There is nothing better calculat-
ed to drive away trade than the
whining cry of Patronize home
industry" That is equivalent to
advertising that your prices are
higher and that your city competi-
tors are driving you out of bust
ness. If that is true, the sooner
YOU get out of business, the better
t will be for the community.
