BOY SCOUTS HIKE TO
MITCHELL LAKE SATURDAY

Sixteen Boy Scouts under the
leadership of Scoutmaster Sigurd
Olson hiked out to Mitchell Lake
Saturday afternoon. This lake is
b miles southwest of the city. Upon
arrival at the lake, the scouts were
kept busy passing tests. Practically
every Scout present was fortunate
IN passing either his second class
cooking or fire building test and
nome succeeded in passing both.
After a good lunch, prepared at the
camp fire, various scout games were
played upon the ice.
Troop No. plans on taking sew
erai hikes in the near future to
places Of interest. The out of-doors
n the scouts work shop so hikes
are particularly valuable in that
they give each scout a chance to
put into practice what he learns.
The Scout troop is growing fast
not only in numbers but in advance
ment of individual scouts. Three
complete patrols are now organized
and interpreted basket ball games
as well as other contests are being
planned.

ELY CITY TEAM EASILY
DEFEATS VIRGINIA, 3i-I7,

In listless contest the Ely city
team defeated the Queen City Sun
tive Of Virginia 31-17 Saturday be-
fore a fair-sized crowd.
Working the ball under the basket
for easy shots the locals scored al
most at viii; their superiority al
ways being evident. Gilmore of
the visitors was said to be a star in
his high school days but he failed
TO show anything impressive. The
Ely team worked In unison thus
eliminating any individual play al
tho Lindbeck was the high scorer
of the game with 13 markers.
The game was fairly hard fought
IN the first minutes Of play. KraIl
opened the scoring with two free
throws for Virginia. Lindbeek tied
the count with one under the has
ket. Dinsmore made two Dot shots
and kraH ended the scoring for the
quarter with a field goal, making it
% IN Ely's favor. From then on
the game was never in doubt. In
the second quarter Kowalke and
Llndbeck each contributed three
field goals while Virginia got SIX
points, the half ending 1910, Ely.
Ely presented a strong defense in
the third period holding the visitors
scoreless while Lindbeck added
three more points to the score. The
fourth quarter marked the fastest
playing of the game, Virginia at
tempting TO close the big gap in the
score Virginia started strong, Red
ward and Klemola making field bas-
kets, O'Donnell made q free throw.

NO WAIVED PENALTIES FOR
FAILURE TO PAY ON TIME.

Regarding the penalties for fail
ure to register your motor vehicle,
Attorney General Clifford L. Hilton
said early in the week:
IAN erroneous impression seems
to be prevalent, and one which
should be Immediately corrected IN
order to save the payment of pen
alties by automobile owners. Under
the law as it existed prior to July 1,
1928, the secretary of state had
power to waive penalties for de-
layed payment of automobile taxes.
The last legislature amended this
law and the secretary of state is
now powerless to waive penalties or
extend time for payment. Ii the
automobile tax for 1924 i. not paid
by February Is, a penalty of 25c
per day for the first twenty days
and $500 per month thereafter for
not to exceed five months attaches.
| am making this statement now
in ample time so that there may be
no misunderstanding later. Any
automobile owner that desires to es-
cape the payment of penalties must
pay his automobile tax on or before

sity, are apprehensive that q similar
situation will develop the coming
spring, for up to this time orders
for February delivery have been few
and far between.
Storage facilities at Parksdale,
Wis, where the sodatol is placed in
cartridges and otherwise made ready
for shipment, are limited. II the
orders which have accumulated for
March and April delivery could be
advanced, it would help to prevent
congestion and save loss of time
and temper later on.
Readers of the Miner who plan
to place orders for sodatol for
spring use, should file them at the
earliest moment possible in order
that shipment by carload win not be
delayed.

DAHLcREN TALKS ON FOREST
AT ROTARY MEETING

Z. A. Dahlgren, supervisor of the
Superior National Forest spoke be-
fore the Rotary Club Wednesday
evening on Forestry in which he de-
Tended the Fuller Bill now creating
such disturbances in this section of
the state. While Mr.. Dahlgren was
not In sympathy with the bill as
drawn, claiming that too much ter
rItory was taken in, he stated that
the bill was step in he right di-
rectIon and that the pros and cons
should get together and get a bill
that would be satisfactory to the
larger part of the people. He ex-
planned the attitude of the Forestry
officials in the desire to enlarge the
forest and thus provide timber for
the future and also stated that the
original territory to be taken in as
recommended by the officials would
be about right. He cited facts and
ngures as to forest activity in other
states and claimed Minnesota had
dropped from third place in point
OF timber production in 1910 to
nineteenth place in 1922. The ter
ritory advocated to be attached to
the Superior by those in favor of
the enlargement, was adding to the
present territory all the Intervening
towns between here and the border
and also taking in the lands north
OF town line So as far as range line
IL thus Strengthening out the re-
serve: In all probability a CON-
promise on these lines uId be
effected with the drawers of the bill.
Tnls would not interfere very mat
erially with sthe agricultural de-
veiopment to the south and west,
upon which the opposition to the
Fuller bin is based and would give
the forest desired territory. His
talk was well received. The M. T.
enurcn ladies' served the dinner and

ELY FALLS BEFORE
TWO HARBORS 3I-16.

Through a lead obtained in the
second quarter the Two Harbors
high school triumphed over Ely
31-16 at Two Harbors Friday. The
north shore lads were held on even
terms throughout the game except
in the disastrous second period
which ended 1874.
The Two Harbors team is a
heavy, fast driving outfit composed
of veterans who were defeated by
only two points by the redoubtable
Duluth Cathedral. The Ely team
put up their characteristic hard
fight but seemed lost during the
second period. They came back
the second half and made IL points
to Two Harbors' Is.
The game was fast in the first
period which ended Cd with Ely
on the short end. Mccarthy made
Ely's points with a field goal and
two free throws. Displaying un-
canny shooting ability coupled with
good team work Two Harbors
marched through Ely's defense for
IL markers during the second stanza.
Pogorelc opened the final half for
Ely with field goal following a
dribble. Then it developed into
keenly fought contest but Two Har-
bors' Substantial lead prevailed and
Ely had to be content with its most
humiilating defeat this year.

INVESTIGATION IN
BUELOCH is POPULAR

STATESBORO, May 28.-That
Bulloch county is practicing digersi-
fication in her farming Is evidenced
by the heavy express and freight
shipments Of beans and Irish pota-
toes now moving from all points in
the county. According to Alfred
.Dorman, wholesale produce dealer
of this city, who is responsible for
the heavy acreage in potatoes anc
beans, both crops are showing a
fine profit to the growers. Over
400 acres arc planted in potatoes
and about the same acreage in early
snap beans in this immediate Vi
entity The potatoes are averaging
les barrels to the acre and are sell
ing for $3.50 to $3.50 per barrel ac-
coding to grade, on the tracks here,
Mr.. Dorman is paying spot cash and
grading them. The beans are also
averaging high, running about GO
hampers to the acre and bringing
the producers from $3.50 to $4.25
Of beans and potatoes the same land
Iper hamper. Following the harvest
will be planted to sweet potatoes,
making two profitable crops on the
same land. Sweet potatoes are in
great demand to $3.50 per bushel in
any quantity and with even an aver
age crop one can readily harvest 20C
bushels per acre, some exceptional
yields having made as high as SOC
bushels in years past. The limit
to the crop next year viii be labor
situation as both crops require {
good deal Of labor, which is rather
scarce right now.

AUTHORITIES START
PURER MILK DRIVE
DR.. Payne Explains Part Moth
ers Should Play in Protection
of Babies Milk

Americas and Sumter county
health authorities have started a
drive to, secure purer milk for
babies here. Not that especial com
plant is to be found in existing nIilk
supplies. That isn't the issue. It's
a question Of weather. This is the
season, says DR.. w. j. Payne,
county health commissioner, when
milk requires exceptional care.
"a special effort of being made,
said Dir. Payne today, "by the city,
and county, to see that the milk
supply departments of Americas IS
as sanitary, pure and wholesome as
is possible to produce. For the pro-
lection of the babies and young
more rigidly enforce some of the
ordinances regulating the produc-
ton and delivery of milk.
1.-THE responsibility for the kind,
and grade of milk the child gets
does not cease when the dairymen
delivers your milk to your door but
this is the beginning of the re-
sponsibility Of the mother.
GAS soon as your milk is deliver
ed, do not allow it to stay there
in the sun, but take it in immiedi
ately and place in the ice box
right up against the ice where il
will not absorb tastes and odors
from other articles of food that
may be in the refrigerator.
Milk that is allowed to stay ir
The sun for as long as thirty min.
utes at this seaon of the year is
unsafe to be used for food foi
babies.
"When the milk is to be used, re
move the cap with some sharp in
strument after the bottle has beer
wiped off with a clean cloth which
removes all dust and dirt collec &c.
during transportation.
after emptying the milk the bot
tie should be thoroughly washed anC
rinsed.
"Never allow milk to be used b,

of disease" concluded DR.. Payne.
