Lens for Portraits.

Anyone who intends to do much
portraiture will find it great help to
get some simple form of stand camera
for the purpose, and fit it with one OF
the old-fashioned portrait lenses, which
can usually DE picked up secondhand
very cheaply. A half-plate lens should
be got for quarter-plate or smaller
work, as this allows one to be further
from the sitter, and so avoids all risk
of wide-angle effects, besides covering
the plate better. In such case, one
ought to get definition over the small
plate as good as with first-rate an
astigmat, extreme rapidity, and at
very moderate cost.-Exchange.

The letter also enclosed $50
tickets for the Auto Show being
held this week at Duluth but as
so few of the Ely people had
made arrangements to attend, it
was deemed inadvisable to at.

funds. The benefits of the Auto
Show are being devoted to the
Red Cross.
The Ely branch has been doing
it's share in the work line but has
been little short on furnishing

Home service committees in the
various Red Cross organizations
t trough out the division are
urged, in message from Frank
J. Bruno, division director, to get
in touch with drafted men eligible
to service on the second draft
call.
1t is part of the duty Of the
committee members, Mr.. Bruno
declares, to see that every man
takes advantage Of the insurance
laws recently enacted for the
benefit Of soldiers and sailors.
Although each man has 120 days
from the time Of his enlistment
in which to take advantage of the
law, the earlier that detail is at
tended to the better.
A second service which mem
bers Of the home service commit

the assistance they can give tC
those men in closing their bust
ness affairs, arranging for protec
ton of their property while they
are away, giving legal advice an(
assisting in the execution Of will
and such other legal document
as the men NAV wish to make.
A third, and the most impor

says, is to impress on the minds o
all Of the men that the Red eros
will be a friend to their friend
and relatives at home while the.
are away; will see there is moth
ing needed by those left behint
that can be supplied from Re-

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS
If Absolutely Necessary to Dispose Of
 Them, Consult Your Banker.

To successfully finance the war 1t is necessary that owners os Liberty Bonds hold their bonds if possible. Where for any good reason 1t is nee essary for them to turn their bonds into cash they should seek the advice Of their bankers.
 Liberty Loan bonds are very desir- able investments, and crafty individ- uals are using various means to se- cure them from owners not familiar with stock values and like matters. One method is 10 ofhcr to exchange for Liberty Bonds stocks or bonds of doubtful organizations represented as returning a much higher income than the Bonds,
 There are various other methods used and likely 10 be used. some of the gold-brick variety and others less crude and probably within the limits of the law All offers for Liberty Bonds, except for money and at mar ket value, should be scrutinized care fully The bonds are the safest oi investments and have nmtaxabie and other valuable features.
 To hold your Liberty Loan bonds If possible, is patriotic. To consult your bankers before selling them is wise

Says Uncle Sam Just Has to Win This War and She Intends Doing

There are five children in the family Of Georgia Sampson, who washes clothes and windows and floors to earn living for. herself and the five and to make life roster for her patrons.
 There is no one 10 help with the liv- Ing, because Jim, Georgias amiaple husband, saw fit to wander too far into the turbulent stream which appealed to his sportsman instincts and it car ried him off his feet.
 ! While she was hanging out a inc full of snow-white wet clothes the oth- ] CT day her employer was helping her and getting the ever-present value of 1 Georgia's conversation at the same time, and the question of household expenses arose.
 'Tt takes right smart lot of hustlin' now" Georgia commented through the elothespins in her mouth, Ito do every thing that's gotta be done What with payin' for my Liberty Bonds and buyin' what we gotta eat, it keeps me sure busy.'
 That's splendid of you to buy a Liberty Bond" her employer said. I know that it must be a good deal for you to try"

 "On account of having more chill dren? l should think they would be an excuse for you not to take any!"

Great English Statesman Says Money Spent for Luxuries Aids
 the hun.

Here are a few points on thrift given by the British Chancellor of the ExcheQuer which are worthy of emulation by Americans:
 Lives must be lived more simply
 Personal, household and business expenses must be reduced to the minimum.
 Surplus weekly or monthly earn ings, over necessary expenditures. must be invested straightway in war securities.
 Current balances at the banks should be kept as small as possible and the money invested in war bonds.
 Nobody's money can be neutral.
 Money lent to the country fights for the country.
 Money spent on luxuries and non essentials is helping the enemy.
