STATE AUTO TAX
AVERAGE $3.50.
FIGURES FROM REGISTRATION
DEPARTMENT FOLLOW OLD
LEVELS.

Ely automobile owners continue
under the new 1924 rates to pay
less taxes on their cars than under
the old personal property law.
Official figures to May Is, from the
state motor vehicle registration de-
partment this week indicate a 1924
tax average of less than $16.50, al
though arrears and penalties bring
the general average to $16.99. Be-
fore the state highway plan was
effected, motor vehicles were taxed
as personal property at more than
SIT average and to that was added
the state license fee.
Light, low-priced passenger cars,
taking the uniform $12 minimum
tax of the "a" plate class, show a
general average this year of $12.40,
the extra 40 cents representing de-
linquent taxes and penalties. APP
plying the same arrears penal
ties ratio, brings the $20.51 general
average on medium and higher
priced cars of the "B" plate class to
less than $40 and the total registra-
ton average to less than $1,000 for
1924.
Buses and trucks for public hire
are paying increased taxes under
the new schedules, the rate now be-
ing 10 per cent of the value of the
vehicle. An average of $509.17
was collected on 292 buses and of
$115.82 on 800 freight trucks, of
the respective &C" and "Y" plate
classes.
Private trucks in the ''T" class
taking the SIS minimum truck tax
numbered 20,692 and averaged
1852, the extra 80 cents coming
from arrears and penalties. Those
in the "X" class paying more than
the $15 minimum numbered 10,769
and averaged $40.3S. 50
Dealers licenses totaled 1921
with an average yield of $15.15
from sales of sd" plates. There
were 1,071 trailers registered under
~" plates at an average of SAB.
Motorcycles averaged $4.23 -. g.
703 listings.
The Minnesota motor vehicle tax
average of less than $16.50 this
year is comparable to that of $20.35
for all the states. It is the only
tax assessed on motor vehicles here
and the revenue is used entirely for
the Improvement and maintenance of
state trunk Babcock
roads.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT
LURES MANY.
RESULTS OF YEARS WORK
VERY SATISFACTORY
no THRONES.

The school band and orchestra,
the flashy art, hand-work, furniture
and iron work displays made the
annual school exhibit, Wednesday
night, gala occasion and attracted
hundreds of mothers, fathers and
spectators.
A program was presented in the
Washington school auditorium at
1880 o'clock. After the first few
numbers the hall was filled to it's
capacity and even the doorways
were crowded. From there the
people streamed to various portions
of the three buildings-the Wash
ington, Industrial and High schools
and viewed the works of the
grade and high. school students.
Posters and placards, examples of
penmanship, drawings, numerous
kinds of handwork, furniture and
prepared foods were among the
many things that appealed to the
throngs strolling through the halls
and rooms.
The program consisted of group
of numbers by the school band and
the school orchestra under the di-
rection of H. P. Reinshagen, sew
eral tuneful selections by the sixth
grade girls chorus directed by Mrs
Slant and club drill by four
Junior College girls and Miss In
gals, coach.
The walls of the Washington
building were adorned with the
paintings and posters of the grade
rchildren, examples of hand writing
and typewriting, medals won by
high school typists and drawings
The high school Art Department con-
Quoted an attractive display in the
Kindergarten room. Block-psinting
on cloths, paintings and drawings
hand-painted vases and china, weav.
ings and designs were featured. A
model, minute home furnished by
the normal training girls aroused
favorable comment.
The Industrial school elaborated
on furniture, iron-work and draw
ing display. Clean-cut library tables
morris chairs, dressers, cedar chests
and cabinets were the products OF
Instructor Murn's classes. In the
machine shop Mr.. Fleming's proteges
had made vices, gears, grease-cup:
and punches. Several boys demons
trated different processes. A one

HUMORIST WRITES ROAD
SIGNS BETTER THAN GOOD

Bugs" Baer, a well known news
paper humorlst, has written and
published a series of ''road signs"
probably merely intended to enter
tain. But many of them might be
erected with benefit to the safety
of traffic.
s'Don't run up your mileage with
skids," contains a lot of real eau
ton in tabloid form. Don't do your
thinking with your brakes" will
strike a responsive chord in every
man who has had near-nervous
prostration at the sight of the reck-
less driver stopping in a hurry.
There are three grades of eggs,
but only one grade of crossing and
that's dangerous" ought to be
pasted in the hat of all those who
try to cheat the train" across its
right of way.
''The glass in your windshield is
the same stuff they put in hospital
windows. Which will you look
through" is a very pertinent. query,
and Fifteen miles an hour may be
a chill but fifty is fever" is not too
medical to be understood.
To towns troubled with too much
speeding by tourists, Mr.. Baer sug-
gests "Speed limit in this town ff-
teen miles an hour. One day for
every mile over thatw or "We have
seven hotels and one Jail, take your
pick +"
"Don't try to scare locomotives
with your horn" "The minute you
save may be your last one." "You
wouldn't travel on freight train,
so don't try to travel under one"
are all good to remember.
Mr.. Baer intended to be funny,
and succeeded; he may not have in
tended to be serious, but many can
take his cleverness seriously with
benefit to themselves and the gen.
eral public.
In other words (Mr. Baer once
more), Accident insurance is a
good thing to have without the acct

That Ely will have to be reckoned
with, is the mutual, opinion of the
five other clubs in the Iron Range
Baseball League, as result OF the
locals showing in their first two
games or the season. Onisnolm
went away with TINS convection
nrmay logged IN ner mind aIter De
ing sounuiy trounced mere rrday

back and remembering now lucky
and how narrow their victory OF
last Sunday was wnen they barely
squeezed a SIS win over the crack
delegation from the Vermlhon
range; and hibblng is rated as hav-
ing the most formidable team In
the circuit.
Errors Cause Downfall.
Hibbing took advantage OF Ely's
erratic nelding and won a I'M
earned game. If earned runs alone
counted Ely would now be resting
easily with a perfect percentage as
they had 8 of these while the rich
est villagers" only had 2. The
victory placed Hibbing into the lead
of the league race.
Although Kowalke flashed mid
summer grand of twirling, allowing
only four hits, he was forced to
come out second best in hurting
duel with Indian Joe" Day. II
was the second time he was on
mound duty in three days and il
should also have been his second
victory but a crumbling defense
caused his defeat. Day, the i'm
ported star for Hibbing, made an
suspicious debut whiting II and re-
firing three men in succession by
this route in the sixth. Kalb led
Ely's batting with double and
single.
Ely Uses Makeshift Lineup.
Moravitz caught Kowalke as LAM
bert was unable to play. This
caused a noticeable switch in the
fielding arrangement. AS compared
to the Chisholm game Biederman
was pulled into third, Miller taking
his position in right field, and
Gianotti was plugged into short to
fill the no left by Moravitz. This
arrangement proved to be wobbly as
five errors were committed. With
the hard-hitting Lambert back in the
game and the men in their natural
positions Hibbing will have diff
cult time in acquiring another VIC
tory in their encounter here June z.
Ely obtained two runs in the
fourth. Gianotti was thrown out by
the second baseman c. Chinn rap
ped out a. single. Chinn stole third
. and Biederman made second. Kalb's
single scored them both. Kowalke
forced Kalb and H. Chinn struck
out. Ely's last run was made in
the seventh when Kalb doubled.
Kowalke also hit for two sacks and
Kalb pranced home.
Ely will play at Virginia today
and Marble, strong outfit, comes
here Sunday.

activities for the new station, and
this was unanimously adopted. This
program calls for a more intensive
