tion of patriotic doings in the
city by the Duluth dailies dur
ing the past month, Ely contin-
ues to go ahead and show up
alongside many larger cities with
the odds strongly in our favor.
Our patriotic parade was the best

the enlistments from this city
average way up alongside the
larger cities. Ely has, so far
some thirty volunteers in the
National guard and about 20 men
in the navy with more to follow
when actual demands for them are
made. We have a committee OF

things and the flag of the nation

Attended Meeting

Mrs. Thos. Mclaughlin and
Mrs. w. D. Gallagher returned
Monday from Grand Rapids where
they had attended the meeting of
the Federated Women's Clubs OF
the Eighth District as delegates
from the Ely Mothers Club. An
excellent time is reported by the
ladies and a meeting of unusual
interest. Many discussions of in
terest were listened to besides
several addresses. by speakers OF
national Importance.
At a meeting of the Club held
last evening, officers for the ensuing
year were elected as follows:
President-Mrs. Peter Schaefer
Vice President-Mrs. Thos. Nc
Laughlin.
Secretary-Miss Bertha Grund-
man.
Treasurer-Mrs. Chas. Quigley
The Mothers Club have secured
the corner lots upon which the Vail
Hotel stood and will arrange the
same for a garden in their Help
Win the War" campaign. The
ground will probably be planted
with potatoes.

School Exhibits

Last evening the annual indus
trial, drawing and penmanship ex-
hib1t at Winton was held and those
who attended pronounced it one of
the hnestseen in years. Tonight
the industrial, drawing and pen
manship exhibit of the Ely schools
will be held at the auditorium and
there is no doubt but what the
same will excel the excellent ex-
hiblts of previous years.
Next Friday the Senior Class
day exercises will be held and from
now to June 8, there will be some
thing doing for the school pupils
and their parents and friends.

FIRE DANGER
Large Crews Fighting Fires
Near Section 80 and Other
Places.

A fire which started Friday
ragged disastrously through the low
brush in the vicinity of Section 80
and despite the efforts of crews of
men could not be checked. Sun
day it gathered strength owing to
slight wind and was driven
rapidly south to White Iron Lake
and into close proximity to the
settlers along the lake shore.
A large crew of men were sent
out Monday and after one o'clock
the Ely fire department was called
with the large chemical tank to
lend assistance. The chemical was
effective as far ar the hose would
reach. The fire was making
directly towards the bungalow
being built by Mayor Brozich near
the lake. After burning over two
forties owned by Mr.. Brozich the
fire was checked before it reached
the townsite laid out for summer
cottages on the banks of the lake.
At this writing the fire is under
control near the White Iron lake
shore and the wind has shifted east
throwing the bulk of the devasta-
ton to the Eve lake district
Forester Gibbs of the state depart
ment was here Tuesday and lent
his efforts towards checking the
flames. Mr.. Gibbs has had hard
time of it this week as there are
many fires in his district.
The larger part of the crews
working have been secured by Mr..
Brozich assisted by the Section sc
company and to these is much
credit due for valiant services
Forest fires surround the city and
the smoke at all times is dense
| Other sections of the country are
similarly afflicted and rain is most
eagerly looked for.

Defense Council

The Ely Council of National
Defense will meet every second
Monday in the month according to
resolutions passed at the meeting
Wednesday evening. Between
meetings the several committees
are to have charge of the actual
work to be done. 1t was also the
sense of the meeting that those
who fail to attend meetings of the
Council when called will be drop
ped from the membership.
The Home Guard proposition is
still up in the air the same as it is
in all of the towns on the ranges
The oath obligating enlisted men
to serve anywhere in the state is
the stumbling block as it is the
general impression that cities of
national Importance ip this war
such as the mining towns need all
the home protection possible. A
large company purely for home
guard duty can be organized in all
the towns promptly but the outside
service is what hurts.

The military bill raises the pay
of enlisted men from SIS to $50 a
month. Even under the old pay
system of so cents a day the
American soldier received more
than twice as much as the soldiers
of any other nation. Great Britain
came the nearest to it with $50 a
year or less than $3.50 a month.
The German soldier received S3S a
year, the French soldier $40 year,
the Austrian soldier IS a year and
the Russian soldier 81 a year.
Some changes have been made
during the war but not enough to
make much of a change. The
richest nation on earth is not pay
ing too much when it pays its
fighting men 81 a day.

The Arabs Cloak,

The cloak the Arab wears is cut
square. 1t Is his universal and in
separable covering. 1t is his coat by
day and his blanket by night. 1t was
this cloak that in Old Testament times
had to be returned at night-fall if it
had been taken in pledge during the
day. Otherwise the Semitic would have
had no covering when he slept. These
abas, as they are called, are becoming
popular in England.
