PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS

oCORES of Ely people seem to re

There is no hesitancy on the part Oh
many in asking the editor TO publish
ali item in his paper without charge
which Is more of an advertisement
than a piece of news. On the other
hand IL is seldom customary TO ask
the merchant to give away one OF the
many articles on his shelf. NOBODY
thinks of walking into a store, point
ing out something and saying.
"please give ME that for nothing.
Yet they go right around to the

will find many who can see II IN the
same light when it comes to asking

stock in trade-his advertising space.
The newspaper does more to ad-
yertise the community and forward

stitution. There is no question ABOUT
that. and even people VINO 40 not

something about tie power or II

for more free things than Is asked

of the paper is to conform to the

somehow the boys around Ely do not

is pleasant recreation, too, as well as
profitable from a bushes standpoint.
Not only that. but at the same time

While the market for fur is low just
now it is bound to pick up, for there
will always be a good demand for the

Trapping can be carried on any
place and a boy does not have TO
leave home TO engage in it. Fur
bearing animals can be found in fair
numbers all over the western states

streams and in the hilly sections the
fox is still quite plentiful. The skunk
and muskrat seem to prefer civilized

coyote is To be found everywhere.
Experience is not necessary. The
amateur can successfully trap the
smaller and more common animals.

The entire community will watch
with interest the outcome of the
movement in Wisconsin by American
Legion members to have exclud-
ed from the public schools teachers
who have been convicted of violating
the espionage laws or who in n
way advocate or suggest the over
throw of the American government
Residents of Ely will be shocked
to know that within the last year or
two there have been found in this
country public school teachers who
have actually been openly accused of
teaching anarchy to growing boys and
planting seeds Of disloyalty in their
young bosoms. That men chosen by
the community TO direct the educa-
tion of that community's boys and
girls would show symptoms of dis
loyalty is almost past understanding
Their complete unfitness to have any
hand in educational affairs has be-
come so apparent in a few instances
that the legion has started an open
fight upon them and members of the
organization believe they will sue
coed in u%ncovering many eases that
might otherwise have gone for a long
time unnoticed.
We are proud of our teachers In.

that no suspicion of this kind has
ever been directed against them. And

Among the residents of this COM
munity who have always predicted
calamity for the farming industry Of
this country it has been the practice
Of late To lament the rapid rise in
sale yalde of farm lands. The pur-
rose seems to be to convey the i'm
preston that the farms are getting
too expensive for the farmers to own.
And vet what other use could be
made Of the vast acres of tillable soil
to ne fouad all yer this nation We
are at a loss to imagine.
But statistics produced by the de-
partment of agriculture through an
investigation conducted in Iowa ar
rive at the sober truth. The farmers
are selling their lands at remarkably
high prices, and in hundreds of in
stances are realizing handsomely on
their investments made in prewar
times But the buyers are farmers.
The wicked real estate dealer, SO
much maliened, hardly figures in the
transaction. Fewer than Z per cent
OF the buyers and but a little over IL
per cent of the sellers were real es-
tate agents. From the fact that, of
course, the greater number of sales
thus credited may have been in the
interests of farmers, 1t is seen that
the element of pure speculation is
to be scarcely considered.
1t is a great tribute to the profit
anleness OF the agricultural industry
in the state of Iowa that the average
value of farm lands increased s12t
per acre in the ave years from 1915
TO 1920. No other reason is as
signed than the high price of farm
products and the promise of unusual
profits. The same laws apply to
farming as to all other industriesA
