FREE BABY CLINIC
HERE MAY 81.
BRING YOUR CHILDREN TO THE
CLINIC FOR EXAMINATION.

Preparations are being made for
a Baby Clinic to be held at the
Community Center on Saturday,
May 31st under the auspices of the
County Public Health Association.
The clinic will begin at nine o'clock
in the morning and continue until
four-thirty in the afternoon, and
will be conducted by an experienced
physician in childrens diseases. Mrs.
w. E. Trezona will have charge of
the arrangements. 1t is free to
everyone-all expenses of the clinic
will be paid from funds derived
from the sale of Christmas Seals.
The clinic is scientific in nature
and the doctor is there for the pur-
pose of discovering physical imper-
fections and to give advice concern
ing them so that they can be cor
rected before they become perman-
ent defects. The doctor will tell
each mother about the condition of
her child, suggesting the diet, etc.,
and leaving to the parents the
choice of any physician they may
desire to do any prescribing or give
the treatment necessary for the
child.
The clinician will also examine
children of school age especially if
accompanied by their parents. The
child's weight for his height and age
is a good index of his general
health. If your boys or girls are
below the standard weight for their
height and age, bring them to the
Public Health Clinic and hear the
physician explain what each particu-
lar child must do to bring up his
weight and grow to be strong and
healthy. 1t will cost you nothing to
find out what is troubling your
child, and an examination IN time
may prevent great deal of future
Assisting Mrs. Trezona in arrang-
ing for the clinic will be Mrs. w.
D. Gallagher, Mrs. P. Schaefer, Mrs.
Mrs. c. Merhar and Mrs. John Maxi. |
Any one of these will tell you about
it and it will be to your advantage
to avail yourself of this excellent
opportunity to have your children
examined free. The Christmas
Seal sale has made it possible to
have these clinics and to furnish
them free to the people of this city.

FAILED To PUT
OUT CAMP FIRE.
FINED $50 AND COST BY JUDGE
ZORETIC IN MUNICIPAL
COURT.

j. G. Ridell and Glen Shields of
Virginia had been on fishing trip
to the Isabella river on the Ely
Isabella road. They had built their
camp fire alongside stump and
failed to put it out completely when
leaving for home. Shortly after
they left it was necessary to send a
crew from here to put it out, but
not before about 80 acres had been
burned over and the crew had
worked "a hours, was the control
over the fire secured.
John McLaren, fire chief of Dis
trict 2 of the U. S. Forest Service
and c. A. Dahlgren who was assist
ing McLaren went to Virginia and
arrested the careless campers and
when brought before Judge Zoretic
in Ely municipal court, Ridell
claimed responsibility for the fire,
plead guilty and was fined $50 and
costs. The fine was paid. In
sentencing the men, Judge Zoretic
read them a lecture on carelesSness
and remarked 81 am letting you off
easy. The men ella m d they
thought the fire was out before they
left camp.
These thought-it-was-out' fire
violators are so bad as the didn't
know-the-gun-was-loaded' fellows.
said McLaren in commenting on the
case yesterday. ''You, people of
Ely, have a wonderful asset in the
Superior National Forest, if you will
only find it out before the careless
campers burn it up. In a few years
Ely should be the center of a large
pulp and lumber business; the
Superior Forest can provide pulp
wood and saw logs indefinitely for
several large plants"
"The United States Government
stands squarely behind you in en-
forcing the fire laws. This is the
first fire the Superior Forest this
year and was followed promptly by
a conviction. Every fire trespass
this year will be prosecuted just as
vigorously. We hope to end the
season with 100 per cent convictions
for all carelessness. The best solu-
ton of the Forestry problem is to
educate the fishermen and campers
to be more careful with all kinds of
fire. 1t will take the united efforts

SEASON OPENS
WITH VIRGINIA.
OPENING OF THE LEAGUE
BASEBALL SEASON AN
AUSPICIOUS EVENT
SUNDAY.

The official season of the Ely
baseball schedule will open in this
city next Sunday when Virginia will
be here for the opening. This
promises to be an suspicious event
and will give the spectators a line
on the Ely players and give them a
chance to judge the merits of the
new men in the lineup. Although
the first game is no criterion of the
season, on it hinges in a great meas
ure the support of baseball in the
city. Right here we wish to butt in
on the baseball world with the state
mept that Ely will not be at the
bottom of the list during the sea-
son. Sin fact, Ely stands the best
chance of any of the clubs in the
league to cop the pennant. This
opinion is also shared by many out
siders who witnessed the Ely boys
perform last year.
The game is called for 2:30. At
200 o'clock a parade will leave the
Community Center headed by the
Community Band. The ball boys
will follow in their nice new uni
forms and the city officials and
others will be in line. The band
will furnish music during the game.
Mayor Frank Jenko will be in the
box for the first ball pitched and
Chief of Police Barth Coffey behind
the batter.
The lineup for Ely will be picked
from the following players: Lam
bert, Kalb, Kowalke, Gianotti, C.I
Chinn, Moravetz, Beiderman, H.
Chinn, Hoeffler, Miller, Lindbeck,
Canton and Vivian. Take a good
look at this list and figure for your
self what you will witness. The
larger part of these players are
known to the Ely fans and accord
ing to past performances this will
be "some game" as Virginia is COM
ing loaded for win.
1t is to be hoped that an attend
ance to tax tb capacity of the
grounds will be on hand to help root
our boys to victory. According to
the rules of the league, admission to
the grand stand will be soc and to
the grounds 35c. Children up to 16
years of age will be admitted free
to the bleachers. Full admission will
be charged for grand stand seats for
children.
We're off Let's go.

THE JUNIOR COLLEGE
(By w. E. Englund, Superintendent
of Schools.)

The relationship of the Junior
College to the State University is a
question that parents of children
seeking higher education are in
terested in. The point that is most
often touched upon is in reference
to credit, while the opportunities for
the proper selection of courses in
preparing for advanced work in the
various colleges of the university,
are also investigated.
The Junior College is two year
post high school organization that is
bringing higher education into the
home communities. The courses of
study are arranged in accordance
with the university courses and ap-
proved by the university authori-
ties. The subjects taught are the
ones that are regularly given at the
university, and pupil will, there
fore, make regular advancement in
his chosen field.
The instruction in Junior Colleges
must be given by specially qualified
teachers holding masters degree
based on post graduate work in the
subject or subjects which they teach.
A university representative also
visits the schools to determine the
degree to which all requirements
are met and in this way pupils are
assured that they will be properly
cared for.
Students in Junior Colleges are
also enabled to receive credit at in
situations outside of the home state
through reciprocity arrangement
whereby universities will credit all
work that is accredited by the home
state university. Students from the
Range Junior Colleges, are now act
ually in attendance at the Univer-
sites of Wisconsin, Michigan, Chica-
go, Leland Stanford, Columbia. as
well as at Minnesota, and in not one
single instance has the validity of
the Junior College credit been called
into question, according to state
ments made by the deans of the
various schools at a meeting held in
Hibbing on May at which meeting
Dean Shumway Of the University
was present.
This statement is being made in
order that parents may know the
relationship between the Junior Col
ieges and the State University is
most cordial, and that the work
given in the former is duly recog-
nized by the latter.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-After
an afternoon of heated argument
members Of the California democratic
state central committee IN session
here today adopted the report of a
special committee under which the
candidacy of William G. McAdco for
President would be supported by dele
gates from California to the demo-
cratic national convention.
The committee, by an overwheIm-
ing viva .Yoce vote, passed a motion
requesting" the removal from the
committee of z. L. Doheny, oil mag
nate concerned in the Senate investi-
cation of government oil leases.
The motion ordered Doheny re-
moved from the second vice presi-
dency Of the committee, and directed
that the committee issue no more sta
tionery bearing Doheny's name as an
officer of the organization.
The Doheny motion was made by
Sydney Van Wyck. jr.. San Fran
cisco attorney, who said in reference
to the oil inquiry: IF we are to
purge this country of corruption we
should start at home"
However, one Of Doheny's attor-
neys. Gavin McNab, leader Of the
party in San Francisco, was retain
ed as district delegate to the na-
tional convention, his congressional
district supporting him solidly. When
his name was presented on the floor
there was no opposition.
The committee selected twenty

tiona1 convention in New York and
eight delegates. at large. The dele
gates at large were healed by James
d. Phelan, formerly United States
senator from California
A message sent to the committee
by Mr.. McAdoo said:
ut is perfectly clear that the des-
perate republican chiefs at Washing
ton are trying to divert attention
from the gross betrayal by high re-
publican officials of their public trust.
We must continue to make the issue
clear to the country that corruption
in government at Washington in the
Interior Department, in the Veterans
Bureau and elsewhere has developed
and flourished in this administration,
and that it alone is responsible
for it."
