they have seen their fortunes smile,
with wages high and more in sight ;
| wonder if they saved their pile, or
blew the roubles left and right? /
wonder if they read these rhymes,
and took the moral to their souls, and
sailed down the helpful dimes, until
the dimes made ample rolls? If they
did this they need not weep when
factory pulleys cease to turn; in
peace and comfort they may sleep,
and in their stoves the slate will
burn. And they can say, "We need
a rest, we need season of repose
let honest toll go galley west, while
we sit here and bake our toes; we
have the guilders down in brine, our
credits good and all is well; why
should we murmur or repine because
we're laid off for spell?" But if
they burned the useful bucks in
booming times, they're sad today;
their children cry for pie and ducks,
and must be satisfied with hay. And
most, fear, are stepped in woe, and
now bewail their present lot; I hate
to say, 81 told you so," but nothing
else would hit the spot. Oh watch
the weary legions drift, in search of
work, upon their way; then buckle
down and practice thrift-you may
be there yourself some day.

The Boy Scouts went on trip to
the Baird Ranger Station Wednesday
morning accompanied by Mr.. Den
ley of the Forest Service and Scout
Master Rogers. The troop is going
at great clip now and through the
help Of the Forestry Service expects
a great year in 1921. Mr. Dahlgren
of the local office has offered the as
sistance of the Service in helping the
boys to do some real scouting. Mr..
Denley took the boys out on their trip
after Christmas trees and gave them
some pointers on woodcraft. The
Ely Scouts ought to feel themselves
exceptionally fortunate in getting
the help of this organization of men
trained in the knowledge Of the
things most vital to good Scout work.
Most troops have, no such opportun-
ity as this. More boys should avail
themselves of these advantages by
joining the troop. The boys will be
out on this trip four days and on
their return the majority expect to
be cecond class Scouts. The Boy
Scouts Of Ely wish to take this oppor-
tunity to thank the Forestry Service
for their generous aid in making

MAKE THIS THE BANNER YEAR

Before you read any further, or
before starting something else, take
just moment or two and ask your
self if there is any reason why we
shouldn't make 1921 the banner year
in the history of Ely.
Think of the improvements we
talked of in 1920 and which ended in
talk. Ask yourself what held them
up, and why we are still without them
Then make resolve to- do more this
time than you did before to put them
through. Well venture to say that
every man in the community can sug-
gest at least one Improvement badly
needed the moment you ask him.
But of course it is impossible to make
them all. Then why not take few
of them-or make the start with a
single one-and put it through?
Maybe you'll have to give way to the
other fellows opinion of just what
the town needs most, but that's the
only way we'll ever get started right
After all, failure to give way little
to the other fellow is really back of
every municipal failure.
Why not make this the banner year
for the community by showing the
other fellow that you are for the best

KILLED ON RY.
THOS. COWLING AND DANIEL
LABELLE, MEET DEATH ON
CANADIAN RAILWAY.

News has been received by rela-
tives in this city of the death on the
Grand Trunk railway on which he has
been employed for number of years
of Thomas Cowling formerly resi-
dent of Ely. No details of the acct
dent which caused the death, have
been given to the Miner more than
that it occurred on December 18th
and that the funeral of Mr.. Cowling
took place at his home in Port Ar
thur on December 10Th.
A month before the death of Mr..
Cowling, his brother-in-law, Daniel
LaBelle, met with an accident which
caused his death on the same road.
Both of these men will be remem-
bered by a large number of our
people as having resided here for
many years, in fact having grown to
manhood in Ely. Mr.. Cowling was
married to Miss Clara LaBelle here
and built the residence now occupied
by Olof Berglund and family. Both
have followed railroading since and
before leaving here.

Legion activities for the new year
are taking on very promising as
pect. The movement towards the
organization Of a branch of the
Women's Auxiliary is progressing
rapidly and it is hoped that the or
ganization may be completed and a
campaign for memberships started
within the next week or two.
Steps have been taken towards the
consolidation of the Ely City and
Sampo bands with number Of Ely's
older artists promising to join in,
should the organization become a
reality.
The Legion is endeavoring to put

These pictures are duplicates Of the

~ MR.. ELIZARETH THOMpSONR

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l have
been married 10 years and have
been very happy. My husband is
a happy-go-lucky fellow who is
willing should spend what / want
to and he furnishes as much money
as he can afford. We have always
lived comfortably but have not
been able to afford many luxuries.
Now he has made up his mind to
do Q very foolish thing, it seems
to me. He has learned of a con-
Germ that will lend him money to
buy an automobile. He is to Day
back a certain amount each month
with 10 per cent interest.
l think such an Arrangement is
very foolish because we have SO
little money for extras now. l did
not buy any new clothes last win
ter or this spring because every
thing cost so much. This winter
simply must have a new coat and
hat. My three children also need
clothes badly.
What do you think of my hus-
bands plan? Don't you think it -
foolish? He says that 1t will force
him to save. He will have to meet
his payments and in the end be
will have an automobile as an in
vestment. GOLDEN ROD.
I agree with you that your hus-
band is making q mistake. He will
have an investment, but it will be
a poor one, considering the amount
Of money he will have to put into
it. An automobile costs SO much
after the initial price that he will
have his nose to the grindstone
meeting payments. buying gasoline
and paying for repairs. There !s
. possibility that automobiles will
come down in price by next spring
Advise him to wait until then al
least. And remind him that 10
per cent interest is almost double
what he should pay on borrowed
money.
