/. BOY SCOUT NEWS

During Thanksgiving vacation 18
scouts under the leadership of their
Scoutmaster hiked out to Leino's
homestead miles out on the Moose
Lake road. The boys left Friday
morning, arriving at the cabin at
noon. The afternoon was spent
passing tests, chopping frewood and
getting things in readiness for the
night out. After a big venison
stew the evening was spent around
the red hot heater telling stories
and playing the old music box which
the camp boasted. Although the
contraption was at least 80 years
old the boys swore that it played
"Why Did Kiss That Grip, and
"It Amt Gonna Rain No More.
That shows what little imagination
will do.
The smaller boys were given the
hunks and the rest slept on the floor
hin true woodsmen style. Sleep
descended about 900 o'clock in the
morning but was occasionally inter-
rupted by strains of music mysteri-
ously coming from the music box.
The hardest part of the trip was
getting up at daylight and washing
up in the ice .encrusted washbowl
outside. After ablutions, and a
warming up hike of mile thru the
brush every scout piled in ready for
a husky breakfast of bread, oatmeal
and coffee. The morning was spent
in passing tests and playing games.
After dinner the troop started for
home making the miles in 2 hours
fiat.
The following scouts passed tests
in cooking, firebuilding or trailing

The scouts plan on selling Christ
mas trees and Christmas wreaths
this year and will soon be around
taking orders. Trees will be fur
nished in any size at prices ranging
from. 35c to $3.50. Cedar, balsam
or ground pine wreaths will sell

LOCAL CUNTS
TO SEE ACTION.
ELY H. S.-MT. IRON TONIGHT;
CITY AND JUNIOR COL
LEGE TOMORROW.

The three local quints will all
engage in contests this week end
the high school plays host to Mt.
Iron tonight in the Memorial gym
nasium at s O'Clock, and the City
and Junior College teams will tus-
sic in the same place tomorrow
evening. Thursday the Tower high
school and BODY of rooters will
invade the city to play the only
game scheduled between Tower
and Ely this season.
The school band, an entertain
ment between halves, all will tend
to make the local high schools con-
ference opener gala occasion.
The teams are evenly matched. in
weight and both feature a snappy
passing attack, so a thrilling battle
is expected. The ,localis lineup
will be picked from the following
Pluth, Roterus, Ahola, forwards; j.
Maxi, G. Smith, centers; Anderson,
K. Maxi, Manni, guards.
The clash with the Junior Col
lege should give an insight into
the future prospects of the city
team and also should assist in pick
ing the best working combination.
just now all indications point
toward a successful season. With
ali of last years performers re-
porting for practice along with
the addition of several new stars a
powerful lineup should result.
The Junior College have improved
immensely since their encounter
with the high school and bid fair
to furnish their older opponents
some stiff opposition. Through dill
gent practice the ragged team play
has been eliminated and fast-pass
ing offense substituted in its place.
On Thursdays Ely viii attempt to
avenge the defeat they received at
the hands of the Tower H. s. at
Tower last winter. This will be
quite task as many veterans grace
the lineup of the incomers. A
sturdy band of rooters will accom-
pany their team.

If YOU live in this town, and
your interests are here, it is your
duty, insofar as possible, to patron
ize the institutions of the town. OF
course if you are a drone, only
stopping here without any interest
in the past, present or future of the

life you can from others without
giving any in return, there may be
some excuse for you trading away

MAKE APPLICATION FOR
COMPENSATION AT, ONCE

The, War Department urges all
veterans who intend to apply for
the Adjusted Compensation to do
81 now, or if they do not intend to
apply, to notify the Department to
that effect at once. Delay increases
the cost to the tax payer of hand
ling the Adjusted Compensation
and delay in applying may place the
veteran in another insurance year
and thus decrease the benefit that
he should receive. Should he die
without applying, his beneficiaries
would receive at the time of his
death but one third of the total
amount due that they would have
received had he filed his application.
A large number of applications
have been returned for correction
and but few of these have been re-
ceived back at the Department.
All Army Posts and Army and
Navy Recruiting Stations are ready
to serve the veterans by assisting
them in making out their applica-
tions; making corrections; taking
finger prints, and helping them in
every possible way.
