GETTING HIS OLD JOB.

Generally throughout this mining
region the returning soldiers are
going back to their old jobs. We
hear some complaints that men are
not being taken on, but at the mines
we have been informed that every
man who is able to work and who
left the company's employ to engage
in war service is being given place.
Some of the companies are printing
the names of the men who have been
taken back this, we imagine, to in
form the world that they are doing as
they agreed and as common fairness
would decide.
Not to take these men on or to
favor them in the place of the aliens
who have been skimming the fat from
the land in the absence of the soldiers
would be one Of the greatest en-
couragements we can imagine to the
spread of bolshevikism in the United

BILLION TONS.
LAKE SUPERIOR REGION WILL
HAVE SENT OUT THIS
AMOUNT SOON.

The Lake Superior region has pro-
vided industry with 896,319, 1926 tons
of iron ore, between the early ffties
and the end of 1913. BY the end of
the season of 1920 the first bill
lion tons of the wonderful iron re-
sources of this region will have been
delivered. The Mesaba range has
furnished 486,319,s26 tons of the
total lake shipments to date, leaving
400, 958,545 tons to be divided be-
tween the several other ranges. The
Mesaba will pass the one-half billion
tons mark this year, and have a
good margin above it. With the
turning point of the first billion tons
of ore removed from the resources of
the Lake Superior iron districts it
may well be imagined that con-
sumers will pause to consider the po-
sition of the iron and steel industry
to the ore reserves. We read various
estimates of these resources, but
none of them doubtless are of very
great value. There may be two or
three times as much ore in the ground
as the highest estimate, and there may
not be one half of it.
The first ore shipping dock on
Lake Superior was built at Mar
quette in 1855. During the sue
ceeding AZ years, up to 1897, there
had been shipped total of lot 1861
003 tons of iron ore from the lake
regions, which was an average of
about 2,562,O0O tons per. year for
the entire period. These figures
also include such limited amounts of
ore as were shipped prior to 1855.
During the past six years there has
been shipped 315,8S00,810 tons, or
an average per year of 52,633,470.
In other words at the present aver
age for six years, there is nearly as
much ore shipped every two years
as was shipped between 1856 and
1897. These figures deal with lake
shipments. The all rail movement
is becoming larger and more of a
factor every year.
1t is going to take until the end of
1920 to complete the shipment of the
first billion tons from the lake re-
gion about 65 years, but how long
will it take to ship the second bill
lion? 1t is fair to assume that it

ELY WINS.
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
TAKES WELL PLAYED GAME
FROM BIWABIK.

Making good the statement that
they intended to do something in the
line of winning at basketball the
High chool team Friday evening took
the contest from the Biwabik team
on a score of As to 5.
The game was fast and enjoyed
by large audience notwithstanding
the one-sidedness of the score. BIZ
wabik was unfortunate in many of
its plays and well-laid plans were
invariably checkmated.
This makes the second game won
by the Ely team, having defeated
Mountain Iron at the Washington
gymnasium the previous week. Two
more games are scheduled for the
home floor and it is expected that the
locals will cop the long end of both
games. The attendance at the home
games is gratifying to the followers
of school athletics and the crowd
and enthusiasm is constantly increas-
ing.
Plans are now being perfected for
the organization of City team.
With such well known players as
Hanson, McMahan, Maxi, Gianotti,
Homer, Hoeffier, Kajute and others
in the line up, a team could be main
tanned here that would cause Duluth,
Two Harbors, Virginia, Hibbing and
Chisholm to hustle to hold previous
ly won honors.

ffF0TY GRAFT"
EASTERN STARS ENTERTAIN
SATURDAY EVENING WITH
SHOW AND DANCE.

Had Wing the artist who was re-
sponsible for the "Foty Graft Album
been present at the entertainment
given by the Eastern Stars Saturday
evening to an invited hall full of
guests, he would in all probability
have decided that the faces and cos
tunes given his characters in the
book were mediocre compared to the
flesh and blood counterparts dis
played to the accompaniment of the
story as told by Mrs. E. C. Jones to
the new neighbor at the Masonic
Hall.
The Wing characters were there
in real life-sized pictures in a hand
some frame and scenic background
and adapted to the opposing side of
the Star committee by name and
family. The Trezonas, Gallaghers,
Johnsons, Stapledons, Nicholas, Nan
kervis, Whites, Coads, Bergs, and
several other families were repre-
sented and the exhibition seemed to
meet with the approval of the au-
dience which gave vent to it's feel
ings in hilarious applause.
The "fotygrafts" were followed by
an old time concert wherein the ladies
appeared in colonial costume and the
gentlemen in a most dignifed and
sedate manner and attired accord
ingly. The program given was as
follows:
Chorus-"Medley."
Piano Solo-Miss Marinette Ann
Lockhart.
| Reading-Mrs. Mokros.
Chorus Music in the Air"
Reading-Mrs. Jones.
Piano Solo-Miss Dorothy White.
Chorus "Auld Lang Syne."
After the program the floor was
cleared and dancing followed until
IL o'clock when lunch was served by
the ladies. The music for the dance
was furnished by Mrs. Sutherland.

mental and physical action. To be

mental and physical action. To be
able to keep up and thrive under the
constant strain upon her bodily re-
sources, it is necessary that she be
given as much protein as woman
of thirty. She is still growing, and
quite rapidly at this stage, and needs
large amount of protein for the
building up of new body substance
and also for repairing the immense
amount of substance used in her or
binary activities.
"a woman of thirty has ceased
growing. She does not spend much
of her energy in learning new things
or accepting new ideas. Her work
is usually routine, and her muscles
are trained and accustomed to ex-
ercise each day. She knows when
she is fatigued,' and usually can use
her own discretion about resting
whereas the eleven-year-old girl
must be sent to bed and forced to
rest, she is so eager to take part in
and see or hear all that goes on.
''The thirty-year-old woman needs
protein only to repair broken down
substances and to supply heat; the
eleven-year-old girl needs them to
keep on growing, to supply energy
for a most restless period of her
life, to supply heat, and to build up
broken down substances in the body.
"The girl of thirteen should not be
denied her natural craving for jam
and crackers, cookies, fruit, cakes
and the like. Butter, foods con-
tanning the yolk of egg, and fresh
fruits and vegetables are absolute
necessities for the growing girl
Cor boy), and should be given to the
child whenever she asks for them.
Sweets do not hurt the child, but in
reality are valuable concentrated
fuels, and the normal child's appetite
will prescribe the limit for their use.
The vitamins, in which fats are SOL
uble, found in milk and the yolk of
egg, have much to do with the actual
growth of the child, and should be
never failing part of the diet, and
willing or unwilling the child MUST
be trained to eat them. The success
and efficiency of the grown woman
depends as much upon the diet of
the growing girl as the safety of
ship depends upon the building of
its hull.
