in America for q dual citizen
ship and assuring the drafted
men that the citizens left behind
had no mind to see the soldiers
at the front back-fired by sedi-
tionists here at home, and that
state and national officers were
doing all in their power to sup
press anything which savors Of
treason.
Mr.. Schmahl stated his firm
conviction that the boys were
going to fight "the biggest ty-
rant and the biggest brute the
world has ever known" and con-
graduated them on being select
ed for this wonderful work for
which all posterity will call them
blessed. He spoke Of the early
fight made for liberty in this
country-the fight in which
France helped us so nobly, and
urged that the Americans of the
present day give just as freely
to France now, keeping the
worlds liberty unsullied for the
coming generations. The fact
that Mr.. Schnahls only son,
Lieutenant Dana Schmahl, ex-
poets his orders to leave for
France at any time made his
hearers realize just how much
an occasion of such a meeting
meant to him.
COngratulates Board.
County Attorney Emerson was
then introduced and he gave a
short talk complimenting the
of the local board, Sher-
if Hassenstab, Mr.. Root and
DR.. T. E. Finn, ON the excellent
work done by the board in Sc
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1917-09-26

lecting the men. Mr.. Emerson
also complimented the men on
their physical fitness, remarking
that it must be a matter of great
pride to their parents to have
sons physically perfect enough
to be selected for this great ser
vice. He also assured the boys
that the folks at home want to
do something besides talk and
would see that their company
funds were kept replenished as
soon as it was announced to what
organizations these men had
been assigned. He closed his
talk with an earnest appeal to
the boys to not only fight the
battles Of France, but to respect
the moral life of the countries
to which their duty might call
them.
Judge Laudon then closed the
speaking program with a few
remarks stating his belief that
the Kaiser loosed this great
world to crafty his own selfish
interests and that we are now
fighting to save ourselves from
a system which is based on greed
and which is now reaching across
the Atlantic in its endeavor to
absorb America. Judge Laudon
frankly admitted that at the be-
ginning of the war his interests
were somewhat in favor of Ger
many, but that since the United
States had become involved.
there was only one view to take
and that was that everything
must be sacrificed that will help
to save the liberty of the world.
During the dinner the quartet
Of Company L sang several Sc
lections which were much en-
joyed. After the dinner the
Scenic City Band played in front
Of the church and also formed
a part of the parade which es-|
corted the men to the train.
Get Comfort Bags.
Before going to the church for
dinner the drafted boys assemb-'
led on the porch of the Sheriff's
residence and were presented
with comfort bags made and
filed by the women of the w.
R. c., the w. C. T. U. and the
Equality Club. The ladies at the
heads of these various organiza-
tons gave short and appropri-
ate talks during the ceremony
of presentation
The committee in charge of
the program for the day is de-
serving of much credit for the
work done in SO short time, as
it was not known positively un-
til Monday that the boys would
go Friday. The men on this
committee were w. M. Smith,
A. R. A. Laudon, Geo. Country
man, Rev. Darrell and M. Lau-
terbach. The ladies of the church
are also to be complimented on
the very excellent dinner pre-
pared. 1t will undoubtedly mean
much to the boys, in the first
homesick days at camp, to re-
member that the home town
folks met together to show them
our pride and loyalty as they
we're taking the first step in the
greatest work Of their lives.

The Board of Fair Manage
ment has had the seating capa-
city increased just half of what
it formerly was and now two
thousand people can be comfort
ably seated during the race and
attraction program. The new
addition has not. been covered,
but otherwise is built the same
as the regular grandstand and
will be covered soon. A second
entrance is also now available,
making the handling of the
crowd much easier.
Night Shows.
The large dance tent has been
placed and the floor laid ready
for the dance each evening, TOR
burns orchestra furnishing the
music. These dances proved one
of the popular features of the
fair last year. Other features
of the evening program are the
Duffield fireworks, a complete
program of which will be given
each night, a complete program
by the trapeze and bicycle per-
formers and a whistling solo
with band accompaniment, by
the Bird Girl of Redwood Falls,

of amusement. Several shows
were already placed Monday
night among them being Little
George who has one of the most
unique exhibits on the ground.
Little George says he is the
smallest father in the world and
anyone who has seen him is not
likely to contradict the state
ment.
School Exhibit.
Wednesday is Children's Day
and all school children are adj
mitted free of charge. The school
building is crowded with the
work Of the county schools, SUI
perintendent Pratt stating that
it is the best in both quantity
and quality that the schools have
ever shown. Parents and school
officers, as well as pupils and
teachers, should make it a spec
ial point to spend considerable
time in this building.
Bake And Can.
Gladys Eykyn, the champion
bread baker Of Minnesota, will
come over from Lamberton We'd
nesday and will start her bak-
ing in the school building at ten
o'clock Wednesday, continuing
the baking process until the
bread is taken from the oven.
This girl is a girl of whom Red
wood County is particularly
proud and her work will be es-
pecially interesting. The Red

Club Takes Action

Owing to the absence of Secretary
Merdink from the city the past few
days and the failure to send out the
customary notices of meeting q
lightly attended meeting of the
Commercial Club. was held Tues
day evening.
The agricultural committee made
complaint over the running at large
of cattle and the destroying of
gardens by the beasts and the
matter will be, taken up with the
city council. The committee also
pointed out that garden thieves
were quite numerous last fall and
felt that this year would be worse
and that extra precautions should
be taken to curb this industry.
Delegates will he sent to the
Northern Minnesota Development
Association meeting at Virginia on
June 7 and s. A committee was
also appointed to arrange for the
sale of Liberty Bonds in this
vicinity.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1917-05-25

were handsome library tables,
davenports, chiffoniers, book
cases and the lathe and engine
work of the manual training Sec
ton of the high school. The work
in iron and steel was a revelation.
On the left side were kitchen
tables made by the grade boys
while along the sides were tables
loaded with the sewing and
needlework products of the girls.
Near the stage the girls had also
lined up an attractive display
while tables groaned with good
things to eat, the products of the
domestic science cooking depart
ment. The sewing and needle
work was prepared under the di-
rection of Miss Swenson while the
cooking and preserving was under
the direction of Miss Miller.
On shelves all around the large
room were the work of the smaller
grade pupils. Trays, bread boards,
salt boxes and other small and
handy articles for the homes were
shown by hundreds. These pro-
ducts were the work of the fourth
and fifth graders and were the
factor that made the larger ex-
hibits possible. The manual train
ing and domestic science instruc-
tors say that. pupils coming to
their departments from the grades
show marked adaptability for this
class of work owing to the in
structions of the teachers who in.
culcate the fundamentals. The
art of getting things square and
exact and in fine finish, besides
perseverance, are taught.
1t is needless to further empha.
size the fact that the display as
made was good. Many from other
towns were here and the opinion
was general that the exhibition
surpassed anything ever seen by
them. In another column will be
found a cut showing the main
part of the exhibit as arranged.

BuhI Here Sunday

Buhl. Our aspiring neighbor on
the ,Mesaba. has evil designs on
our base ball honors and will be
here next Sunday and promises to
take home the bacon. They are
coming with a strong bunch of
stickers. pitchers and catchers and
propose to get away with glory.
The Ely boys are not of that kind
and propose to give Bull some
thing to do in annexing the game
Sunday.
At any rate. Buhl promises to
arrive with a chip on its shoulder
and accompanied by the band and
a large contingent of rooters. The
game will be called at 2:3O and the
admission will be Csc for every
body. This does not exempt the
lady fans. AS neither team has
lost q game for the season, this one
will be for blood.
Everybody turn out and help the
boys win. On the attendance will
depend in great measure the
securing of Duluth. Superior, Hib-
bing, Chisholm and Virginia for
games. Wesshave team that
needs take no back seat for any of
them and it is up to us to lend
them our moral as we'll as financial
support. The advertising a town
receives by having good ball
team is worth a hundred times the
amount of money invested. The
best part Of the whole thing is that
our boys are all employed here and
have steady positions and are not
paid solely for playing ball. Hence
q victory means strictly Ely and
Winton victory.
In all probability the Ely team
will play one of the Twin Ports
Mesaba League teams on Decora-
ton Day out of the city.

REGISTER JUNE 5
President SETS Date for Con.
soFiptIon Registration

Henry Chinn, Arthur Knutson
and ]. D. Conan, who will have
charge of.the CONSUMPTION registra-
ton in the voting precincts of the
city are getting, affairs in shape to
handle the work on June 5th, the
date set by President Wilson for
the registration of all men between
the ages of FL and 80 years.
Everyone between these ages
will be obliged to register on that
day. Physical deformities or being
unable to speak English will be no
excuse ard being out of the city
will not go. Failure to answer
promptly the questions put by the
registrar will mean that the party
being registered will be passed and
notation made on his papers that
he refuses to. answer the questions
asked. Each man on being
registered will be handed regis
tration card which he will be
obliged to carry and produce if
called upon to do so by officers,
the sheriff or police.
Every voting precinct in the
country will register on the same
day. If you do not register on
that day there be only one man
who can handle your case then.
That man will be the sheriff and he
will be authorized to inflict some
pretty severe penalties on those
who fail to do their duty on the
5th. Interpreters will be on hand
for those who cannot speak
English.
Those in charge of the registra-
ton inform us that only one day is
allowed for registration. a. Every
body between the ages of FL and
| so is compelled to register whether
a.citizen Of the country or an alien.
Those who are compelled to be
away on the registration day are
compelled to make an affidavit be-
fore the county auditor which will
be forwarded to their place of
residence and registered. In order
to make this not so much of a
hardship, the county auditor has
designated a deputy at Virginia

er the assessment and that the
City had no power to compel the
commission to review the assess
ment. The court in its opinion
stated that it was unable to see
any ground for interfering with
the values as fixed by the COM
mission.
The contention Of the City was
that the commission had no power
according to the statutes to lower
the assessment without ordering
a re-assessment. The contention
was that ore, whether mined or

The display had been arranged
by grades and grouped. The
corridors and kindergarten room
were filled with the drawings and
penmanship samples of the
grades, and handiwork by the
high school girls. Miss Katherine
Mcdonald, penmanship instructor
had charge Of the exhibit and
was assisted by advanced pupils
who made it a point to display
the work to the best advantage
to the visitor. The penmanship
work of the younger grades was
very interesting and showed the

The Miner this week prints an
ad in another column giving the
details of the sale of Liberty Bonds
and how to secure them. Every
body in Ely should do their bit in
assisting the government by pur-
chasing a bond or two. The in

getting gilt edged securities backed

is helping finance the war.

MINE VALUATIONS


The State Tax Commission has
been upheld by the supreme
court in reducing the assessed

of the City Of Ely from those
turned in by the assessor, passed
by the local board of review and

large crew working to save the
buildings on his summer home

Forest fires have ;assumed alarming
proportions in the northern

will be done. tits estimated that
