LIKE SUNFLOWER SEED
Animals Relish silage Which, Up To a Few Years Ago, Was Despis- cd as worthless.

Edmonton, Alta, Apr. 2i-- Despised as a worthless weed few years ago. sunflowers have developed into an important silage crop in western Canada, according to a bull letln of tho department Of agricul- ture.
 Alberta produced a sunhower crop of nearly 100000 tons last year, the largest output yet recorded. Two dollars ton. was the estimated cost of all production. Considering the high food value of the crop, the bull .letin declared 1t to be the cheapest silage or fodder crop ever raised.
 Development of the crop is due to the expansion of the dairy industry, said the bulletin. The gospel of the sunflower was first preached by ex- perts. Many farmers sowed small fields to the plant. The experiment was successful. From 20 to 25 tons an acre can be expected from sun flowers and, as they are succulent. stock find them palatable, the bull letin asserted.

COMPREHENSIVE LEGISLATIVE
PROGRAM OUTLINED

The sportsmen of Minnesota are
planning the most comprehensive
legislative program covering laws re-
lating to fis+ game and general con-
servation, that ever has been under
taken in this state.
More than $4,000 sportsmen of
this state by coalescence of repre-
sentatives have already outlined an
omnibus bill covering the usual
game and fish regulations.
While all provisions of this bill
are not known, it is declared that al
most without exception the sports
men of the state have voluntarily
imposed further restrictions las to
size, number limits, and open sea-
sons in both the hunting and fish
ing fields.
In conjunction with the legisla-
tive program, the Minnesota Divi-
sion of the Izaak Walton League of
America is increasing its size and
power in all parts of the state, ac-
cording to an announcement today
by Fred H. Doellner, Winona, Sec
retary-T of the State body.
"There has been a liberal re
sponse to the request. of, the League
that as many chapters as possible
be formed now in order to take
part in the legislative program
said Mr.. Doellner.
"As soon as it became known
that the Walton League was plan
ming a comprehensive statewide ex
pansion, sportsmen in many parl:
of Minnesota voluntarily offered tt
assist in the organization of chap
tiers" he said. He also declared il

NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
APPROPRIATELY DEDICATED.
Ceremonies Began Sunday Morning and We're
Concluded Wednesday Evening.-Fine
Talks and Musical Programs.

With appropriate ceremonies, the
handsome new Presbyterian Church,
description of which was published
in the issue of last week, was dedi-
Gated this week beginning with the
services Sunday morning and con-
Guiding with the open house meet
ing of the North Star Chapter of
the Westminster Guild on Wednes-
day evening.
DIR. Harshaw, Regional Director
for Minnesota, Nebraska, North and
South Dakota and Montana, made
the principal address at the morning
service. Rev. John Parish of the
M. E. chuch opened with prayer and
the scripture lesson and an augment
ed choir led in the singing of the
several hymns. Rev. H. r. Browne,
as pastor and chairman of the build
ing committee, presented the keys
of the new church to the Board of
Trustees. In the absence of DIR.
H. N. Sutherland, chairman of the
Board of Trustees, the keys were
accepted by w. d. Gallagher with
appropriate remarks. Space will not
permit the publication of the i'm
pressive sermon delivered by DIR.
Harshaw but suffice it to say that it
was recognized as one of the best
sermons ever given in this city.
The Vesper services were featur-
ed by an address by Rev. A. G..
Bailey of Virginia who congratr lat
ed the congregation and the pastor
on the elegant new church and also
stated he had an interest in the Ely
church as his father, Rev. Bailey,
was supply pastor to the church
along in 1891 or 1892 Many of
the older members of the congre-
cation remember him. Mrs. M.
Slant and Mrs. o. Wahlsten sang a
most attractive duet, ''The Lanlplit
Hour, and later Mrs. Slant also
rendered "The Holy City,. The
'Ochestra was at its best under the
leadership of Mrs. Kenneth Duncan
assisted by Mrs. o. Sarkipato, Mrs.
H. p. Reinshagen. Mrs. H. N. Suth-
erland and Messrs. L. M. Brownell,
H. p. Reinshagen, A. O. Knutson,
Oliver Bell and Andrew Watilo.
The church was filled to the doors
at each of the services. The Board
of Trustees acted as ushers at both
the morning and afternoon services.
Monday evening was devoted to
the children of the parish. A fine
supper was served the children he
ginning at $50. After supper the
time was spent in organized play
and the youngsters enjoyed Il fine
time.
Tuesday evening the festivities
took on the nature of a house
warming. Dinner was served at
$50 and the tables were filled.
1t is estimated that $50 were pres
ent. The ladies of the parish pro-
vided the dinner and we must say
that banquet was -~-~~a Miss
Gilfillan's quartette gave several
very fine selections and the party
INDUCED in ensemble singing. Fav-
orite songs were sung under the
direction of Miss Gilfillan and mem
bers of the congregation were asked
as to their favorites. The second
table singing "Dixie" was awarded
perfectly good uncut pie as a
prize. The first table did the best
singing but the Judge of the con-
test was among those at the sec

GRAY McC[|NT0CK

NOTED LECTURER AND ENTER

On February 9th, Gray McClin-
took, famous writer, naturalist and
story teller, will appear in this
city under the auspices of the ex-
tension service of the Unworthy
of Minnesota Mr.. McClintock has
a national reputation as an enter
tainer and has appeared in m of
the important cities in the U. S.
and Canada. A lifetime spent in
the wilds and border regions of
Mexico, United States, Canada and
Alaska, has given him a fund of
material that is inexhaustible He
is naturalist and knows wild life
as few men do. His long intimate
association with nature in the out
of the way corners of the earth
has enabled him to bring before his
audiences the life and spirit of the
wilderness in a manner that people
cannot forget. His return engage

and so unselfshly.
MANY counties have already con-
tributed more than the quota allot-
ed to them, and / am sure that the
communities which have not yet re-
sponded will do so when an appeal
is made to them. A memoriAl of
this kind is more effective in teach
ing it's lesson to future generations
if it is known that it was built by
contributions from every community
in the stats.
Senator Nelson was man of
the people, the friend of all the
people. He had so many friends
and admirers that if each one of
them would make only a small con-
tribution, the necessary sum would
easily be raised. A memorial built
by a large number of small con-
tributions would be true expires
sion of the love and respect which
the people of Minnesota had fos
him during his long career.

ond table. Tom Miller and his
choir were ruled out of the con-
test. Tom had selected "Pull for
the Shore" as the piece de- resist
ance with which he expected to
silence the other song birds in The
contest. All went we'll until the
piano struck up Dixie" after which
the selected offering went "blooey"
Such is fate.
The orchestra was also present at
the banquet and rendered fine
music. Rev. ]. P. Mapson, form
er pastor of the church recounted
his impressions of the first time he
came to Ely and made a fine talk.
Mr.. Mapson spoke at some length
in humorous vein of the changes
that had taken place from his time
to the present day and was loudly
applauGied. Rev. Browne acted as
introducer in his usual able manner.
Rev. Parish of the M. E. church
spoke on behalf Of his congregation
a large number of whom were pres
ent, and congratulated the Presby-
terians on the fine ediice erected
and promised all assistance in his
power in furthering the work of
Christianity in the city. Charles
Trezona, superintendent of the
Oliver Mining Company was called
upon and made one of his char
acteristic short talks which was re-
ceived with much mirth and APP
plause. He told how h 'mself and
the architect were to be credited
with building the church and humor-
ously later left tout the architect
and took the credit himself.
Rev. Berger of the Lakeside Pres
byterian church at Duluth was next
introduced and in short address
captured his audience. He told of
having been schoolmate of Rev
Browne and generously promised to
say nothing about it. he also was
lavish with his compliments on the
new building and praised it's ap-
pointments. Rev. Berger is on1 of
the noted divines of Duluth, the
city of noted divines, and his .cpu-
tation had preceded him. The adj
ence were not disappointed. The
last, but not the least, of the speak
ers was Rev. JACKIE of the Pr. by
terrain church at Hibbing. Mr..
JACKIE stated that he was DESTROYS
of securing the method pursued in
building the hand !ome new church
at the quoted fgr IS or almost &c.
600 less than the estimate. He
thought that this recipe would be a
fine thing to have over in Hibbing
where he stated that for public
buildings any quantity of money
could be had but that when it came
to building churches, it was another
matter right away He stated that
estimates usually ran the other way
and that the $4,000 would be .ex-
pected on the plus end of the
amount. He made one of the best
talks of the evening and his listen
ers were sorry he cut it so short.
The evening was brought to a
close with the singing of "God Be
With You Til We Meet Again"
In commenting on the dedication,
we will say that it was an auspi-
cious event and express the hope
that the same auspiciousness will
continue for the handsome new
church. Ely is to be congratulated
on the improvement.

millions of tourists, conservation
matters have become one of the
paramount issues in this state.
"Unwise commercial exploitation
of natural resources, the suicidal
manner in which our forests are not
only burned but in which we allow
depleted forest lands to lie idle, dis
regard of game and fish laws are
things which will receive a death
blow as result of this new awak-
ening" he said.
The Izaak Walton League of
America, it is pointed out is ma
tional organization of sportsmen
based on local chapters, state divi-
sion and the national body. One
of the single accomplishments of
the League, although it is only
three years old, is that of having
passed bill in the last session of
Congress providing for the setting
aside of 800 miles of Mississippi
River lands from Lake Pepin to
Rock Island, Illinois, as a national
preserve.
The power of the Izaak Walton
League in its fight for conservation
has been seen at work in other
parts of Minnesota.
1t was organized three years ago
by group of nationally known and
famous outdoorsmen headed by Will

was prominent in the move and its
sponsors include Zane Grey, James

Ely showed a reversal of form
the next night to win from Inter-
national Fails. Although the first
half was fairly close Ely went on a
scoring rampage headed by Simon
son and tucked the game away.
Simonson found the basket with un-
erring regularity dropping in seven
from the court. The passing was
fast and accurate enabling the ball
to be brought down directly beneath
the basket.
The next night the Falls team
was determined on getting an even
break and finally won out 20 to 19
in t thrilling game. Both teams
play strong defensive game and
pot shots were infrequent. Simon
son with II points and Somrock
with seven led the Ely scoring. In
the last half the strain of the trip
was beginning to tell and the
fatigue of the Ely players was
evident.

Playing mediocre basketball the
Ely city team lost to the State Bank
team at Virginia &c to 10, and
split at International Falls Friday
and Saturday winning the first
night 1920 and losing the second
20-19. The game at Virginia was
an official league encounter while
the games at the Border City nave
no bearing on the league standing.
However Ely is planning on a
revival and expect to topple Tower
from it's perch on the top of the
standing of the loop when they
meet at the Memorial gym Wednes-
day. The locals feel sure they can
administer the painful dose to Vir-
ginia when the latter team plays
here. A bitter struggle should en-
sue between Tower and Ely as Tow
en- will endeavor to maintain its
leadership while Ely's championship
prospects hinge on the game. Tow
er won lucky victory from the
slocals earlier in the season by a
20 to 18 score but Ely feels con-
fident that it can avenge this set
back. Hibbing is leading the west
ern end of the loop.
Ely did not flash its high class
brand of playing at Virginia but
instead seemed content to make a
ragged, hstless showing which caused
their downfall The effense was
loose while the defense did not
play the type of basketball they
are capable of. Ely has fearful
aversion to foreign floors and this
might also have assisted in the loss
but had Ely played their usual con
sistent ball there would have beer
no question as to the outcome.
