WORTHY PEOPLE
NEED HELP.


The people Of Ely are doubtless
aware Of the fact that $23, 200, 900
fund is being collected in this country
by the European Relief Council, Of
which Herbert Hoover is chairman.
This money is to be used to save
$500, 900 children Of Europe from
starvation this year; the countries in
greatest distress being Austria-Hun-
gary, Czecho-Slovakia, the Baltic Re-
publics, Poland, Roumania and Jugo-
Slavia. The need in these localities
is very great and unless America res
ponds handsomely, thousands Of little
ones will starve.
The sum of SO will give one child
in Europe meal day from now
until harvest, meal which will mean
the difference between life and death.
Thousands Of Americans are answer
ing this appeal and contributions are
pouring in from all directions. The
Literary Digest's fund alone has al
ready passed the 100000 mark.
It is true that America has given
generously in the past and it is also
true that she will not refuse her char
ity now and let these thousands of
little children perish. The fact that
Herbert Hoover is at the head of the
organization collecting funds, is
proof that the money will be efficient
ly expended-in fact it is said that
every cent contributed goes to pur-
chase food, as the relief workers are
donating their services and the ex-
penses are paid by other organiza-
tions
The iron ranges of Minnesota have
been somewhat behind other parts
of the country in contributing to this
movement. Mr.. Hoover recently
visited Duluth and started the fund
there. Among others, he interested
the Engineers Club of Northern Min
nesota. This organization is under
taking to handle the collection of
funds on the ranges.
The committee appointed for Ely
consists of Kenneth Duncan, B. O.
Strachan and w. P. Wolff. This
committee hopes for generous res
ponse from the citizens and the Soc
ieties of Ely. The Mesaba range
towns are donating literally and Ely
is expected to live up to her reputa-
ton of generosity. Subscription
lists will be found in the Banks, The
Ely Miner, Community Center and
other business houses. Subscriptions
may also be made to any member of
the committee. The list of subscrip-
tions will be published weekly in the
Miner. No attempt will be made to
canvass for subscriptions-this is
purely charity or plain humanity.
Subscriptions of any amount will be
appreciated. Bring or send to any
of those named above.

OLD INDIAN HISTORY
A. McG. BEEDE

The acts Of Indians on this, 1921,
Memorial day will help to see their
Indian belief. .s
At the Congregational cemetery
many graves, besides the flowers on
them, had oranges, or apples, placed
all around the edge ak inches to q
foot apart. And on some graves !
saw money placed, silver dollar on
one by which mother wept for her
departed child. And on some choice
cloth coverings replaced the oldtime
soft-tanned skins, as the oranges aud
apples replace oldtime choice foods.
At the Catholic cemetery, where
numerous white people are buried,
Indians, with their keen etiquette,
feel that they should quite fully use
whitepeople's customs on this day.
On one occasion when a whiteman
suggested that the foolish mother
ought to know that a spirit could not
eat oranges, the Indian mother said
