The hay crop this year is said to
be a wonderful one. Wild hay is
waving wherever one turns in the
woods wherever there is an opening
for it Timothy and clover have run
riot. The hay stacks should be close
together this year. This has been an
ideal season for every kind of crop
which Minnesota grows. Gardens in
Ely remind one of those grown in the
Tropics. Not by the same kind of
fruits of course, but by their lux
uriance and productiveness. The
farmer and gardener have been es-
pecially blest by the weather man
this year and no shortage of anything
in that line occurs in this vicinity
this year. And the prices for farm
produce have kept pace with the
growth of the product of the farm.
And with thousands of untitled acres
in sight around Ely, with price per
acre not yet prohibitive, the wonder
is that these acres remain untitled.
with a world shortage in foodstuffs,
prices are going to remain high until
this shortage is filled. The outlook
for prosperous farmers in the future
is good one.

Perhaps but few of our baseball
fans have ever sharpened their PEN
ellis and figured out the following
query-"How fast does baseball
travel after leaving Gianotti's hand
enroute for Lambert's mitt?" An
exchange has figured out the follow
ing which should interest all of US
who regularly burst "a lung when the
home team plays:
"The motion picture machine has
been speeded up until it can now
take 90 pictures in a second, and it
has recently gagged the speed of a
pitched baseball.
An expert pitcher throws a base
ball 210.07 feet second, or 2 2-5
miles a minute. 1t is faster than the
fastest airplane. From the time one
pitcher began his wind-up until the
batter hits the ball, only .99 seconds
elapsed. 1t took exactly .38 seconds
for the ball to leave the pitchers
hand and be struck by the bat. A
film showed that catcher recovered
in 1877 to throw the ball to second
base, and that it required only .796
second to throw from the catcher to
second base, 129 feet.
Another film showed that a ball
was struck by the bat before the
pitchers foot had risen to its full
height; and another showed the ball
in the catcher's glove before the bat
ter began to strike!

What, with all these war taxes we
are paying, constant stream of
box cars must be backing UP to the
Treasury building at Washington and
alongside of the steam shovels which
are there to handle the money. If
every city and town in the country
eats as much ice cream az do Ely cit
liens, and none can eat more, the
war tax on the ice cream alone must
tax the steam shovels and the stor-
age capacity of Uncle Sans treas
ury building. However, it is a nice
thought to think and to know that
no one is roaring over the tax. Our
boys have the money, else the ice
cream cans would not be almost
blocking the streets at times. Every
kids face in Ely is smeared with the
stuff, and as ice cream as well as
other 'straws' tell which way the f.
nancial wind is blowing, We must be
getting along here in the city fairly
well, / thank you.

Now that the mail service is open
from this country to Germany, and
the other late prohibited countries,
it is barely possible that the censor
could find much in the letters that
are now going across unopened,
things that would be Interesting.
The pro-German in this country who
has been gagged for time, will no
doubt unburden himself and tell the
folks over there, what helluva
country this is and how near Ger
many had US licked.

Somehow. it looks queer on the
face of it when a man can come here
from Europe and in short time, be
held up and robbed of few thousand
dollars which he is carrying around
in his belt, that he has earned here,
that he doesn't tie to this country
and become a citizen of it instead of
an anarchist in it. Just why he loves
a red flag and raises Hades generally
and is more expert in making bombs
than he is in making the country
better is what many of us are won
dering over. The recent hold-up
over on the other range this week
makes one think by the booty the
robbers got that the poor, down
trodden workingman is myth after
all and is merely the creation of men
like Haywood, ct al. for a purpose
of their immediate own.

Happily and well, Ely is not to be
troubled with the race riots of the
East. We have our troubles, Of
course, but not along this line. For
the good of the colored man, it be-
hooves him to so live that his color
will be graced rather than disgraced.
He is in the minority and as matter
of fact, has hard row to hoe in this
life. If he can but learn that it is
the law for the white man to lead and
the colored man to follow until such
time as he has had opportunity to
learn and become educated to the
point whereby he can stand on a
footing of equality with his white
brother as race, then the race
riots will cease. There are many
white" colored people. Let them
as a race take on this hue and all
will be well with them. And, also,
there are so-called white men whose
color at heart is but little whittier
than the colored mans exterior, who
should be suppressed in many ways
and thus help to build up harmony
between the two races. For, the
race problem is not to be settled
with bricks or razors. Soberer
heads must deal with it. It is doubt
full if it ever will be solved satisfac-
torily as long as the two races in
habit the same continent. And this
condition no doubt will always OBJ
tain.

Henry Ford has for some time been
getting out what is called cords
Weekly" 1t is moving picture of
things Of interest and of educational
value, the same as the Pathe Weekly
News which is being shown here in
Ely regularly. Ford expects to send
his movie men to Ely this fall and
get pictures of our wild life in the
woods near by US. About twenty
men it is said will compose the movie
party and they will go to the woods
and lakes and "shoot" moose and
deer or whatever they can get to
pose for them. There is much here
that will be of great interest to those
of the cities, and the films will be a
splendid advertisement for Ely and
our great outdoors.

John Barleycorn must grin these
days when he reads in the papers
his voluminous obituary. He can
now sympathise with the late Mark
Twain who was once reported dead.
Mark got back on the photographers
by saying that the accounts of his
death were greatly exaggerated.
Judging by the smells of cached
Johns in every village and hamlet
in this broad land of ours, John is
very much alive yet and the ac-
counts of his death greatly exag-
gerated.

Somehow Ford has lost tonnage
of late since his trial and in which he
is asking a million iron men from an
eastern paper alleging SANDER and
which million from this distance looks
as if it had gone glimmerin'. Ford
is perhaps all right on building a car
for the poor man, but as statesman
aspiring for look in on the Hall of
Fame, he has lost prestige with lot
of people. His ambitions of course
are worthy ones but his ability seems
to run along mechanical lines rather
than senatorial as we see it.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1919-08-01

Perhaps after all that is the why
that motorcycle was built with a
mile-a -minute-gait-to overhaul the
auto speeders. The craziest speed
fiend that ever stepped on 'ertail looks
like he was standing still when mo-
tor cop takes up his trail. He might
as well put on the brakes and return
to the local court and say Glow
much?" But, is 'howmuch' all there
should be to it? Does mere money
always pay the bill? Should matter
of money always settle for these
things? In certain cases we could
mention work farm sentence might
reduce the gas bill for the motorcycle
cop. When a man has shown Excess
sive speed tendencies at the risk of
life and limb of others, should dol
lar bill wipe off the slate for him?
Men with money could create a reign
of terror on our public highways if
thus were so. A second offense at
least to some should mean a work
farm sentence instead of one with
money only. There are places where
a car may go its limit and without
danger save those in the car perhaps.
The motorcycle cop is not located
there. No one cares how fast one
drives, there. But, where there are
children, the man who puts them to
the woods or the storm cave for their
safety has something coming to him
more than slap on the wrist. The
speed maniac should be and must be
curbed. We have spoken of it be-
fore and we refer to it again--the
time is coming when ALL drivers of
cars must procure license from a
local board who know him personally
to be a safe man to drive car.

What would we say to England
if she came across and interfered
with our affairs here? What would
England say to US if we butt in on
her Irish question? And whatever
England said to US on that topic
would be just right. Ireland is some
more of England's business, not ours.
The Irish Question is not for US to
settle or to interfere with. We have
our own race problems, to fix. Our
time should be occupied with our
own affairs. We can sympathise
with whom we please, but action and
sympathy are two different things.

The campaign of education going
on through the newspapers in regard
to forest fires, is bearing fruit, we be-
heve. While the forest fire will al
ways rage, we believe that it is
being reduced to a minimum. Take
a run through the woods and note
where the campfres have been built.
Study them and you will see that
there are people who have thought
on forest fire prevention. Charcoal
remains where a hot cup of coffee
has been brewed are common on some
bare ledge of rock. Look at the re-
cent embers and you will see that,
they have been watered. In places
rock enclosure has been built that
no possibility of the escape of fire is
going to happen. These fires mostly
are built near some lake shore and
after use have been carefully thrown
into the lake. The many "don'ts"
printed and scattered are having
their effect. Here is a warning that
is being scattered out by the forest
service that is well worth bordering
over.-"One pine tree will make
million matches.-One match will
will burn a million pine trees" 1t
would be well to paste the above on
your matchbox when you go to the
woods. Let us all help to reduce
this forest fire menace to minimum.
We of Northern Minnesota know of
the awfulness of forest fire. How
many thousands of lives have been
lost in the forest fires of the past is
incalcuable. The loss of the woods
is not the only loss. Human life is
at stake and should be protected.
More stringent laws will be enacted
if we keep on as carelessly as in the
past. Think twice before scratching
that match under the old coffee pot
in the woods.

The League of Nations looked
good when it was first mentioned.
But today our boys are finding ten
thousand blowholes in it's armor-plate.
When these are all puttied up, per-
haps the old thing will be adopted
and given tryout. Let us try any
thing once that will have a remote
possibility in it even of doing away
with war. Ford was right for once
when he called war murder. Real,
true self-defense is different of
course. But, it must be real and
true and not imaginary to be justi-
fed. Looking for a scrap is not
self-defense. A fight for our homes
and our liberty can never be con-
sidered as murder, but to start out
to subdue the world by someone with
a worm in their head, is murder.

And now with the sheep coming

wool we sure should have our home

When will prices take a tumble?
THAT seems to be the paramount
question in the minds of many of US.
Prices will never tumble far but will
always keep just ahead of wages.
A dollar will never again, if it ever
has, do its duty. No matter what
wages a working man gets, the cost
of living will be just over the hill
and still going. Every strike and an
increased wage, puts the cost of liv-
ing just that much higher. And then
another strike follows in time. Rigid
economy in every home is the only
way the workman can hope to sue
coed. He MUST learn to save. He
must reduce his champagne appetite
to the plane of his pop bottle income
and save. He must live within his
income, not outside of it. He also
must save in other things than our
shrinking dollar. His savings if any
must be invested in things that APP
preciate rather than depreciate. The
young man who has laid by thous-
and dollars has seen it while drawing
interest for him, depreciate almost a
half of what it was when he dep
osited it. Half in purchasing power.
Think it over Son and let's see what
you can do about it.
