THE RElFLAG0R 0LDGLORY?

The communists are not in love
with the Legion. This alteration is
mutual. Referring to Old Glory. a
communist newspaper describes it as
zone small piece of colored cheese
cloth stuck on the end of pole"
This shows where the red-fagger
stands. He has no respect for his
country or his country's government
and flag. And he hates the Ameri-
can Legion because he knows it is
patriotic and powerful enough to
Illustrate his evil designs. The conn
munists and the red flag. Or the
Legion and Old Glory. To which
standard will you rally, buddy?
There is Need of True Patriotism.
Many comrades who have nothing
against the Legion fail to join it be-
cause they see no need for such an
organization. There is no greater
need of anything in this country
today than a strong organization
built on patriotism and loyalty to
comrades, community and country.
7. Less than a month ago the Com
munist Party laid plans to send
spies into the Legion and the army
and navy appointed workers to col
lect arms and ammunition and dis
tribute radical literature, looking to
the overthrow of the government
for, by and of the people OF
America. s.

phatically disapprove of the afore-
said plan of the present administra-
ton for so-called tax reduction as
being a direct effort to start a
back fire. of public sentiment
against the adjusted compensation
measure, in an eleventh hour effort
to defeat the said measure and be
it further,
Resolved, That we do respect
fully suggest as substitute for
the proposal of said administration,
the adjustment by appropriate leg
islation of all exemptions from taxa
ton now existing in favor of So
called tax-exempt securities which
plan we believe would in time pro
duce more than sufficient revenue
not only to finance an adjustment
of compensation to the veterans OF
the World war but also to create
an opportunity of effecting a genu-
inc reduction in tax burdens of the
average American of moderate cir
cumstances, and be it further
Resolved, That the Eighth con.
gressional district board of the
American Legion, department Of
Minnesota, an organization com
posed of honorably discharged ex
service men and citizens of the
United States, again reaffirms its I'M
dying faith in the justice of the
adjusted compensation measure anc
urges all loyal American citizens tt
stand firmly with US in this matter
and to refuse to be misled by thu
nefarious propaganda disseminated
by the organized financial interest
of America against the adjusted
compensation measure.

INDOOR BASEBALL LEAGUE
TO BE ORGANIZED.

After the holidays an indoor base
ball league will be organized among
the clubs and several groups Of the
city. Already there are assurances
of two teams and several of the
societies have taken the matter up
and will organize teams from among
the members. This is one of the
finest indoor games going and vies
with basketball for popularity.
Coach Buckley will have charge Of
the crews.
Several volley ball crews COM
posed of business men have been
training under Coach Buckley for
the past several weeks and are now
ready to meet any team desiring to
test their ability to push the ball
over the net. Several more teams
will be in the field after the new
year.
1t is to be hoped that the societies
figuring on placing either an in
door baseball team or volley bah
team in the field will get busy and
have their crews in readiness to take
up intensive practice after the first
of the year.

BASKETBALL BOYS
WIN TWO GAMES.
GAMES SCHEDULED FOR SAT-
URDAY AND NEXT WEEK
WILL BE FAST.

A contest replete with many fine
plays was won Saturday evening by
the Ely basketball team from
Aurora on a score of % to 10. In
the first half the Ely team was
slow and before they had awakened
to the fact that Aurora was no
mean antagonist, the visitors had
secured a substantial lead. After
that things happened rapidly and
Aurora was played off it's feet. At
the end of the game the Ely boys
were going strong. Monday even
ing the boys went to Biwabik and
returned with a victory of II to
IL to their credit. Biwabik has a
good team and the victory was no
easy one. Several cars of rooters
accompanied the boys to Biwabik.
Tom Murn refereed the Ely game
while Kiessling of Aurora refereed
the Biwabik game.
Saturday evening, the Cloquet
"All Stars" will be here. This
team comes with the highest of re-
concentrations and no doubt will
make the Ely team go some. In the
Cloquet lineup are such well-known
basketeers as Keller of the Univer-
sity of Southern California; Denfeld
of the University If MINES s saa;;
Long of the University of Wiscon-
sin and others of local Importance.
This game is called at $3.50 and it
will be well to get there early as
the crowd promises to fill the Aud
itorium to standing room only.
Next week we will have with us
the Lacrosse Normal team of all
stars. This team starts on a tour
of Minnesota on Thursday and will
be here for games on the 18th and
10Th, under the management of
Mike Koski, an Ely boy attending
the Normal. The team will play
some of the strongest in the state
including Gustavus Adolphus of st.
Peter, Hopkins, Austin, Mankato,
Two Harbors, Tower and Ely on
the tour. The team is made up of
such well known stars as X. Clark,
formerly with the Minnesota Ag-
gies; I. Jessup, formerly with the
Du Pau University of Indiana; j.
Shields, formerly with the Michigan
School of Mines; G. Brown, captain
of this years Normal team; H.
Fisher, formerly with the Neenah-
Menasha Big Five.
Manager Koski assures us that
this team will give a good account
of itself and it is by only the best
of luck that we are enabled to see
them in action here.

BETTER ROADS BEST
PUBLIC INVESTMENT

Everyone is anxious for good
highways. No expenditure of pub
lie money contributes so much to
the national wealth as for building
roads,"
So declared President Calvin
Coolidge in his recent message to
congress. Highway and reforesta-
ton should continue to have the in
terest and support of the govern
ment," the president said further.
II have made liberal proposal in
the budget for the continuing pay
ment to the states by the Federal
government of its share for this nee
essary public improvement"
Highway officials of various
states are confident that the present
congress will restore the federal
highway aid appropriation to $780,
100000 yearly, contending in this
way many states receive the biggest
direct returns for federal taxes.
Charles NJ Babcock, state highway
commissioner, is in Washington in
the interests of Minnesota's appor-
tionment.
