pendent socialists have asked the pres

Agents for king Midas" Flour.

Ely Miner, May 18th issue, what
you have to say about "Fish For
Food" and certainly agree with
you that the time has arrived
when the people as whole should
be permitted to enjoy what right
fully belongs to them and that
red tape and cheap politics should
be cut out.
You are without doubt familiar
with recent laws passed govern
ing commercial fishing in Inter
national Waters, and their injus-
tice to the people in this section
of the country. Commercial fishing
has absolutely been prohibited in
near by waters, but just the same
the large commercial fishing out
fits have been given free reign
in certain lakes, for instance,
Lake of the Woods, Rainy Lake,
Kabetogama Lake, Namekon Lake
and others, so if the people in
this part Of the country want any
fish they can send to Duluth and
buy them.
Mr.. Sam Fullerton, for years
Fish and Game Commissioner of
Minnesota, has presented a plan
to Governor Burnquist for avert
ing a food shortage during the
war, claiming that steps should be
taken to utilize the millions of fish
which inhabit Minnesota's thou
sands of lakes. / understand the
governor will lay the plans before
the Minnesota Safety Commission
at an early date. 1t is a deplor-
able state of affairs when a few
outside alleged fishermen and
game protectors can force an in
,, justice on any community and
seemingly work in the interest of
the large fishing companies whose
head Offices are located in the
cities.
Yours very truly,
THOMAS S. WRITTEN.

FISH FOR FOOD
Demands Being Made that the
State Take War Time Chances.

From all sections comes the
suggestion to the state to allow
the fish in inland waters to be
taken for food purposes. Sam
Fullerton, late of the state game
and fish commission of which he
was the head is out with an offer
to supply state institutions with
food fish at three cents per pound
provided he is given permission
to net the thousand and one
lakes of the state. Mr.. Fullerton
guarantees to use a net OF a mesh
that would only take the large
fish. The scheme has been put
up to the state Safety Commission
and this body will look into the
matter.
The offer of Mr.. Fullerton again
brings out the potent fact that ii
fish can be supplied at three cents
per pound to the state institutions
there is no earthly reason why
the common person should pay all
the way from Is to % cents per
pound for this food. In a signe
letter to the Miner, Thomas S.
Written, manager. Of the ST.
Croix Lumber company at Winton
has the following to offer. Mr..
Written is not alone in his
opinions on the subject but from
all over the state similar express
sions are being made public. Mr.

With all the gardening that is
being done around the city, the
Miner is of the opinion that the
pound master or cow police, as
he is sometimes called should be
given an assistant or two for few
months. The man on the job can
not be expected to work day and
night and many COW owners gloat
over the fact that they can put one
over by letting their cattle run at
large during the night. The
poor" mans COW is no better
than the poor" mans garden and
it is somewhat of an aggrevation to
find your garden destroyed by a
bunch of cattle. The state laws
and the city ordinances govern the
running at large of cattle and the
laws should be enforced to the
letter. Section 459 of the laws of
Minnesota of 1918, makes it unlaw-
full for any owner or any person
having control of any animal of
the species of cattle, horses, ass,
mule, sheep, swine or goat to
ALLOW said animals to run at
large in the state. Any person
guilty of violation of this act may
be punished by fine of not more
than 500 or three months i'm
prisonment in the county Jail or on
the work farm. In addition the
owner is liable to the person ag-
grieved for treble damages. Be-
sides, the owner of a garden, lawn
or farm is not compelled to build
fences to protect his property as
some cow owners seem to believe.

Tower Patriotic Parade

Over 800 hundred people from
this city and Winton attended the
patriotic demonstration at Tower
Sunday afternoon and helped the
Tower people be patriotic. The
Ely City and the High School
bands and the Moose Drum corps
accompanied the Ely and Winton
contingent and materially helped
out in the showing made also fur
nishing excelledt music for the
parade.
The demonstration at Tower was
by far the best seen there in years.
The entire population of the city
was out and with their flags made
a very inspiring sight. The Indian
school had sent over a large con-
tingent of the dusky citizens to
take part and the local schools had
their children in line captained by
the teachers. A large float repre-
senting Columbia with ribbons
driving a large American eagle and
upon which were school pupils
representing the original thirteen
states of the Union was a feature.
Joseph Quinn of the Miners
State Bank was the marshal of the
day. A very patriotic address was
made by Rabbi Lefkovitz of Du-
luth and his remarks were at
tentively listened to. The pro-
gram was concluded by the singing
Of the Star Spangled Banner"
accompanied by the band. Mayor
Bystrom rendered the guests
hearty welcome and also the free
dom of the city. Mayor Bystrom
also requested the Miner to thank
the Ely and Winton people for
their assistance.
A large number of those attend
ing went to Tower by automobile.
The Moose lodge of this city at
tended the demonstration in
body headed by their drum corps
of FIVE snare and two bass drums.
Soudan had its parade the Sunday
before and did not take part in the
Tower parade.
One noticeable feature of the
parade and which was quite
generally commented on, was the
large number of people on the side
walk and not taking part. The
parade here several weeks ago con-
tanned everybody in the city able to
walk and the sidewalks were con-
spiciously lonesome and unin-
habited.
A special train left Tower at FIVE
O'Clock for the return trip. The
day was pleasant and all had a
good time.

day, but in official circles there
seems to be confusion regarding its
designation. There seems to be a dis
position to attach to it some sort of a
description adjective that will indicate
that it is drafted army.
I'm my judgment this is wrong.
This force is more truly national than
any we have ever had. It is the re.
suit Of the universal response Of the
nation to the call Of the flag, and
combines the best spirit Of the volun-
teer with the solidarity Of the regular
troops. 1t would be a mistake to call
it by any other name than the Ma
