England was that made by William
the Conqueror. It caused more
trouble than anything that he did
and this proposition that they are
trying to put over will cause the
local people more trouble than any
thing that has happened in years
past.
1--WE already have-more than
100000 acres of alleged forest
reserve taking up large part of
our fertile country and why should
we add to it for the benefit of some
Chicago people and outsiders who
pay no taxes and who can afford to
invest $50 to 500 day for excur-,
sions over the lakes in our Northern
Minnesota.
"They stopped road going
through the present forest reserve
SO that they, who have money,
might monopolize that territory and
keep it free from our home citizens
who can't afford to have anything
more than a tin lizzie
The territory proposed to be put
into the forest reserve while it is
alleged to be no good in their adj
vertisements and statements in the
newspapers now pays more than
half of the taxes of the state of
and as development pro-
crosses, I expect it will be the great
est area in the world both for min
eral and. agricultural purposes"

CONNIE RC|A[ CLUB
ELECTS OFFICERS.
ALL LAST YEARS OFFICERS RE-
ELECTED TUESDAY
EVENING.

James Moonan was reelected
president of the Ely Commercial
Club at the annual meeting held
Tuesday at the Community Center.
E. w. Hanson was reelected Sec
rotary and Leonard Slabodnik treas
urer. E. c. Jones and M. j. Muir
ply were renamed vice presidents.
No opposition developed to either of
the officers. All have held Offices
for the past year and their services
were evidently satisfactory to the
balance of the members as their
unanimous election indicates.
Important matters were discussed
and such was the interest shown
that the session lasted until after
midnight. The Superior National
Forest extension proposition took
up the larger part of the time and
the Mellon tax reduction plan was
second. The soldiers compensation
measure was again brought up and
the Club went on record as re-
affirming their stand taken at
previous meeting favoring the COM
pensation plan.
Owing to the time taken on these
matters, several others were not
taken up but will occupy the time
at some future meeting.
To help everyone to avoid being
duped by promoters and statesmen
of worthless securities and by other
swindlers, the Commercial Club will
have sent to those who make ap-
plication thirty-eight page pamph-
let which reveals the methods of
swindlers.
The pamphlet was prepared by
the Chamber of Commerce of the
State of New York. 1t tells what
investors should do to protect them
selves against stock and bond
frauds, and gives material upon
many other kinds of frauds. It has
interesting comments upon moving
picture frauds, frauds upon invent
ors and patentees, "buy-back"
frauds, song writing swindles,
frauds on real estate, and swindlinp
operations in stocks and cotton.
The title page reads "a Warning
to Investigate Before You Invest
in Securities or Buy Merchandise
from Unknown Concerns, Or En-
gage in Business Transactions with
Strangers. Copies can be secured
without charge by addressing the
Secretary, E. w. Hanson.

Townsend Caldwell Cement Road May
Be Run To Massey, Md.
Townsend, May 27.-Suveyors are
again busily engaged in laying out the
proposed routes for the new Mary
land state highway which is to ex-
tend from the Coldwell to the main
highways that extend to Massey and
to Sassafras. The work, it is said is
being delayed, over a difference Of
opinion between Maryland residents
as to the best route to be selected.
Sofe of the residents want the new
concrete road to extend direct to Mas
sey to connect with the highway there
making a complete cement road from
Townsend to Salisbury, Nd, while
others want the route to lead to
Sassafras and there connect with the
highway that leads to Galena and
Chestertown. The matter is to be de-
cided shortly however by the county
commissioners of Kent county.

Children's Day services was held at
the NJ. E. Church Sunday evening. A
special program was rendered as US
ual on this interesting occasion.
Much interest is being shown in the
plan to have an appropriate program
arranged for Memorial Day, May 30,
by our patriotic citizens who have
conducted these interesting services at
the Townsend cemetery on this occa-
sion for several years past. In addi-
tiOn to the service by the pastor, Rev.
o. H. Connolly, and the singing to-
gether with other features to be car
ried out, an effort is being made to
have the veterans Of all wars partici-
pate in the parade and exercises.
The strawberry crop is about two
weeks behind the normal according to
local growers because of the cool
spring and the fact that the surround
ing states are in the same situation
it is predicted that this summer is
likely to witness the greatest glut OF
strawberries at one time that the east
has ever experienced. Delaware Der.
ries are expected to reach market by
the first Of June, about the same time
that berries from upper Virginia
Maryland and New Jersey are reach,
ing their peak in production. This
unusual condition will call for all tn,
available pickers to be engaged in tht
patches at the same time, and ther,
may be a great labor shortage as ;
result, according to views Of the ex
tensive growers Of this locality.
