MINNESOTA
(By HOWARD EVERETT. }

God made Minnesota the Garden of Eden of
America and placed it in the wonderland of the
North. He gave it fertile soil that man might
subsst with ease; then blessed it with ten thous-
and lakes and surrounded these with trees. He
called it the home of the laughing waters and
proclaimed the Mississippi the father of its
sparkling streams.
He sweetened its balmy air with the music
of song birds and honey bees, and pronounced it
the playground eternal of peace and plenty.
He gave it the beauties of wildwood and
graced it with the innocense of wild life. He
taught the sunshine to romp with shadow
through its forests and the fragrance of it flowers
and fields of clover to minge with the perfume of
its pines.
He filled its lakes with fish, its forests with
game its plains with fowl, and into these He
gave the romance of the Red man.
He made it to grow fruit, vegetables, corn
and fields of waving grain. Over it He placed
carpet of luxuriant grasses and underneath He
planted store of untold mineral wealth
He took the scenic beauties of Switzerland
and Colorado and combined them with the fer
tile soil of an Iowa and the fascinating climate
of a California. To these He added all things
else which contribute to the health, happiness
and comfort of life, and when He had finished
He called it Minnesota"

Ely will play the best teams on the

schedules are probably the heaviest
and best to which any Ely team has
agreed to play.
Track begun on small scale
this year will be among the major
snCrts next spring and Buckley is
endeavoring t arrange several dual
and triangular meets with other

and perhaps hockey if demanded
will play no small part on the COM

High School Defeated in Dual Meet.
Participating lin their first dual
track meet in years and with only
a little practice the local high
school met defeat at the hands of
Blwabik on the latter's field. The
final score was 64-31.
Ely has only specialized in the
weight events as this is the first
year of track. Little or no stress
has been laid on the dashes but
next year E. T. Buckley, coach, will
put a well-balanced team on the
field. Track is major sport at
Bfwabik so the boys did better than
is the custom. of teams competing
in their first meet. Ely took four
frsts out of ten events but Biwabik
piled up comfortable lead by TAX
ing clean sweeps in the broad and
high jumps and taking more than
their share in the dashes. Kinney
of Biwabik with % counters was
the individual star of the meet. He
tied the mark made at the state
meet with leap of 5 feet inches

were: Pogorelc, Mccarthy, Ander.

CIRCUS BORN IN AMERICA.
Our Native Ability at Organization
Responsible for Its Growth.

Earl Chaplin May in McCIurc's Magazine.
1he big circus is an American de-
relopment essentially. There Is moth
ing like it elsewhere in the world.
The. American business man has
genius for organization and it re-
uuires a super-genius to organize and
tonduct a big circus successfully.
But such an institution would not
remain intact year after year If the
owners had not mastered the intri-
cate art of what the Snowman calls
moving the circus into the money"
This recalls the cryptic remark Of the
able Charles Sparks:
ANY boob can run a circus. The
trick is to know where to put it."

Pinchot Not a Candidate.

Another potential rival of President
Coolidge for the presidential nomfna-
ton has decided that the water is
not fine" and he is not coming ip."
Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania. who
has, figuratively, been testing 1t with
his toe, is going no farther. Through
his political friend and supporter, the
speaker of the Pennsylvania house of
representatives. he has caused it to
be made known that he will not be a
formal candidate for the presidential
nomination and will not seek a dele
CATION from Pennsylvania pledged to
him.
His decision not to run is said to
make for harmony among the repub-
leans in Pennsylvania. The delegates
will go to Cleveland without instruc-
tions. which is what the organization
republican leaders have desired. Gov.
Pinchot will go as delegate at large
and will be free to follow any course
which unexpected exisencies might
suggest. He has not indorsed Presi-
uSnl SooiieSS anu pfoIaDly Will not
feel called upon to do SO for the
present.
The outstanding gain to the for
tunes Of President Coolidge will be
found in the abstention Of Gov.
Pinchot from a candidacy which
might encourage the idea that there
is dissent in the Keystone state from
what seems to be the generally ac-
cepted belief that President Coolidge
is solid in the east.

Fortune and Misfortune.

Another note of the distress into
which many royal personages have
fallen comes in a dispatch from Brus-
sells. Former Queen Louise Of Saxony
lives by the sale "of her own en-
broidery, which she peddles from
door to door" by the charity of a
few Belgian women "and a small
pension from her former husband.
ex-king Frederick of SaNony, which,
payable in marks. amounts only to
a few SOUS" Stories of this kind
have been numerous since the great
war. Not only have members of
royalty come to grief, but large num-
bers Of mobility" have Jared i'll. We
get story now and then of a duke
who has become a waiter or of a
duchess who has turned domestic. The
count or countess who does manual
work for bread is no novelty. There
has been a great upset in the social
organization of Europe. Among un.
titled people reversals of fortune are
common and for that reason call for
little attention. A rich man "goes
broke" and a few persons who were
his friends, or thought to be his
friends, say that they are sorry. The
widow Of rich man sinks to poverty.
Children Of rich parents turn to hard
and unremunerative work or go to
the poorhouse. Men of poor fathers
and who have known poverty for
years become rich. Poor girls marry
rich husbands and no longer do their
own hair or much else. 1t is the
world. Especially is it America.
