of thousands of men who smoke and
chew and who believe themselves
healthy are suffering from progressive
organic ailments. They would never
have been afflicted had it not been for
the use of tobacco and most Of them
would soon get well if they would only
stop the use of tobacco.
The best known habit forming prin-
eipal of tobacco is nicotine, but the
most deadly and demoralizing Is fur

when absorbed by the system slowly,

debility, other eatarrh of the throat, in

REPUBLICAN
PRIMARIES
DELEGATES TO THE COUNTY
CONVENTION TO BE CHOSEN :
TOMORROW.

Tomorrow evening, Saturday be-
tween the hours e. and 9, the voters
of Ely are requested to meet at the
several polling places and elect del
egates to the county convention in
Duluth next Wednesday at which con-
venton delegates to the state con-
vention in st. Paul on May 8 will be
chosen.
At the state Republican convention
on May 8, men will be chosen on the
state ticket to stand as candidates in
the primaries of June. In view of
the fact that the selection of proper
men for the state ticket will mean
much to this section of the state, it
will be the duty Of every man to
come out and assist in the selection
of proper delegates. Ladies also are
asked to exercise their franchise in
this matter.
The state convention is to be
known as an elimination convention
where undesirable timber for the
state Offices will receive the gate in
sofar as the Republican party is con-

cerned. While the convention will
not carry with it the elimination from
the ticket of the candidate unless
such candidate chooses to stay elimi-
mated, it will nevertheless show in
what direction the wind is blowing.
AS far as the editor of the Miner is
concerned all the candidates so far
mentioned for governor are out of
the question and it is our hope that
some compromise man can be en-
dorsed who will be able to carry the
state and prove satisfactory to the
entire state. The candidates so far
in the running are all opponents of
the robbery known as the tonnage
tax" and for these we have no. SYM
pathy. This section of the couatry.
s not for a tonnage taxer.
We hereby announce that we are
for the nomination of a man who will
be governor for the entire state and
not alone for the southern section.
This is no other than j. A. o. Preus
or "Jake" as he is more Familiarity
known. He "Jake" in this section
and also in the entire state and man
on whom the state can unite for a,
triumphant election. The endorse
ment, unanimously, of Jake" Preus
will do away with the muddle caused
by the entrance of sundry aspirants
for the governorship and rebound to
the credit of Minnesota. He has an
nounced that he will be candidate
should the convention endorse him.
He is the man to pull the state out of
the hole it has slipped into by the in
discriminate filings of every one that
had the necessary fees and the de-
mand for his candidacy is unanimous.
Keep this in your mind:
For GOVERNOR. A. o. PREUS.
The polls in the precincts of the
city will open at z o'clock and remain
open until 9. Judges and clerks will
be chosen to handle the affairs of
the precincts and it is the wish of
the precinct chairman that as many
as possibly can be there to facilitate
the organization.
Those who have announced them
selves as willing to act as delegates
tare the following: The tickets will
be so arranged that others can be
voted for should these not prove sat

1920 is part of the work Of the
Conservation Committee of the Min.
nesota Federation of Women's Clubs
We cannot over emphasize the
need of home gardens at the present
time as an economic factor in re-
ducing prices. Many communities
last year witnessed an overproduction
of some vegetables that had to be
used during the growing season.
Many gardeners had larger crops of
these than they, could possibly use and
much waste resulted.
Every gardener should give special
attention to the selection of crops.
Plant sparingly of those things which
must be used as they mature and
plant literally of those things which
may be saved for winter use by can
ming, storing or drying.
Why Garden in, 1920?
/. 1t reduces the cost Of living.
2. 1t employs labor that other
wise would be idle.
8. It relieves the burden of trans
portation.
4. It means for better living.
S. It reduces the grocery bills.

dens this year and our slogan be "a

GET-TOCETHER MEETING TUES.
DAY, EVENING WELL AT
TENDED-PLEASANT
EVENING.

One of the most successful events
pulled off here in some time was the
get-together meeting of the members
of the churches and their guests at
the Community Center Tuesday even
ing.
A crowd that taxed the space in the
commodious building was on hand
early and from the beginning of ac-
tivities until late in the evening there
was something to attract attention.
b. o. Strachan acted as master Of
ceremonies and it was through his
able management that there was not
an idle moment during the evening.
A fine vocal and instrumental pro-
gram was given. A quartette COM
posed of Mrs. B. o. Strachan and
Misses Florence Nankervis, Ruth
Blackhurst and Clara Nelson, gave a
very well received selection. Mrs.
Fred Mokros read selection in her
usual able manner. A vocal solo by
Miss Myrtle Hedloff and piano sell

Guided this part Of the entertainment
after which a joint debate with the
"Merits of bald head" as subject
held the audience convulsed for some
time.
Richard Coad, G. B. Hughes and
John 4Nankervis presented the affirm
alive side of the argument and
brought out many good excuses for
the bald heads. w. E. Englund, M.
Brown and VIM. Mitchell commended
that fine head of hair was more con-
ducive, to the happiness of the male
biped and notwithstanding their al
Turing presentation of the subject, the
affirmative side was awarded the de-
cision by the judges. The main ar
guments were presented in a very
neat and concise manner and while
the audience was intensely interested
it was not until the rebuttal that the
lid was entirely removed from the
hilarity that followed some of the
sharper retorts and sallies of the de-
baters.
The evening closed with a fine
lunch served by a committee.

SUPERIOR FOREST
INQUIRIES POINT TO LARGE
NUMBER OF VISITORS THE
COMING SEASON. FIRE
HAZARDS.

Up to date the Superior National
Forest Office in this city has received
direct applications from 100 parties,
of from two to ten in party, for in
formation and literature as to hotels,
guides, etc. The larger part of
these have signified their intention of
spending their vacation in the Forest
the coming summer. These requests
came from 10 different states as fol-
flows: Indiana, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota, North
Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Washington,
d. c., Montana, Wisconsin, Connect
lieut., Michigan, Kentucky, New York,
Massachusetts, Texas and southern
parts of the state. There, were also
400 inquiries received through the
Ten Thousand Lakes of Minnesota
Association. The larger part have
been answered with circular letters
and descriptive matter. The re.
quests for information show an in
crease in the number over last year of
rs per cent and are more numerous
than at any time at this season here
tofore. The Forest Office anticipates
a lot more inquiries during the COM
ing month.
Ten Forest guards have. been or
dered TO: report to forest rangers on
May 1st.. for the summers work of
fire prevention and maintenance and
to assist in improvements. Several
others have been ordered to report
on May 18th. These are to man, the
lookout towers. Fire hazards at
present are normal but with: little
sunshine and warm weather con-
ditions will soon become serious.
With the assistance Of the people of
Ely and surrounding towns the haz-
ards can be reduced to minimum
the coming season. Do not leave
your camp fires burning. Fires should
be reported to the forest rangers and
forest headquarters. Canoes and
fire equipment has been overhauled
and ready for emergency. It is to
be hoped it will not be necessary. to
use the equipment. Last year. people
were very good regarding fires and
it is hoped this season will find them
cooperating with the forest officials
in like manner.
