twenty-five hungry members of
the Business Girls Club enjoyed the
"Chop Suey supper served by Sylvia
Heikkila, Hllda Kotchevar and Lama
Haavisto at the Community Center
Friday, evening. Alma Turula and
Helen Sikala served a very lovely
pudding heaped high with whipped
cream.
Mrs. F. B. Myers was the guest
of the club and the girls were most
pleased with her two lovely songs
Quaker Grip and Might. The
president, Miss Florence Nankerws,
was the accompanist.
It is part of the evenings regu-
lar program to learn the Community

er, there was unusual interest mani
tested in a number of the popular
airs.

nual Christmas Party which is sched-
uled for Thursday evening, Decem-

TWO HOLD UPS
SATURDAY NIGHT.
TWO MEN RELIEVED OF THEIR
VALUABLES BY BOLD
STICK.UP ARTISTS.

Pay day Saturday caused two, re-
puted to be young men, forsake the
BARROW path and sail forth to get
what they could without working
for it. The first job was pulled off
near the depot on Lawrence Street
where Ernest Robertson was re-
leved of $106. Robertson was not
a complacent victim however and
put up a fight, knocking into a
cooked hat the idea of the hold up
boys of unearned increment being
easy to get. Robertson says there
were two young fellows, one a short
and the other tall one. The tall
er of the two was also somewhat
of a boxer as he struck straight
from the shoulder scientifically. The
boxer lost his cap in the melee.
Both were masked with a handker-
chief.
Geo. Slotsky, who came here from
Vermilion Dam few days before,
was the other victim and he lost a
gold watch and $19 in cash. This
affair took place on the corner near
the Laing Hardware Company store.
The two who went through Slotsky
were also described as two young
men of long and short build and
it is the opinion they were the same
ones who pulled the Robertson job.
While the authorities have been
working on the cases, nothing of
Importance has peen ascertained.
The opinion however seems to be
general that both We're local men
as, in the first holdLup in particu-
lar, they seemed to know their vic
tim had money, where he lived and
when he would be liable to arrive
near his home.
So far, Ely has been free of
holdups and it is suggested that on
pay days it will be well to be on
guard against repetition.

NOTED LECTURER
HERE THURSDAY
CORA TOMBSTONE BEST, AID.
vENTURER, AUTHOR AND
LECTURER.

Tuesday evening at the Washing
ton Auditorium, the people of Ely
will have an opportunity to hear
Cora tombstone Best, noted lectur-
er, give one of her famous outdoor
talks. She appears here under the
auspices of the Ely Commercial
Club and the Club is fortunate in
securing her for this city.
Cora tombstone Best is an adj
venturer in the true sense of the
word and has the rare faculty of
sharing her experiences with her
audiences through her vivid style as
lecturer. She has hunted, climb
ed and been on exploring expedi-
tons from the Arctic Circle to the
Tropics. She has mushed over humid
reds of miles of Alaskan snow
trails; driven dog teams; hunted
whales with Eskimos; explored and
brought out specimens of prehistoric
animals from Alberta bad lands on
Red Deer River; was the first per-
son to explore SAPPHIRE Mountain
where she gathered handfuls of
saphires. Mrs. Best has been through
all our National Parks. spending
months in them. Nine seasons
were spent in Yellowstone Park.
For seven summers she has spent
from four to seven months in the
wilds of Canada, exploring, hunting
grizzly bears and other big game,
looking for and finding unusual
places and things and bringing
them back in pictures. She has
climbed every considerable peak in
the Canadian Rockies including
Assiniboine, the Northwest Arete of
Sir Donald and the second ascent of
Sir Doglas Haig-a most difficult
and treacherous climb from a new
and untried side of the mountain.
Last season guided a party to the
top of Mt. Odaray, a major peak. l
believe this is the first time this has
ever been done by a woman. She
is also the woman who has guided
her own parties through various
mountain passes including Opabin
Pass and the dangerous Abbot Pass,
called The Death Trap.
Mrs. Best says: every person
has a hobby or an ideal to work for
he "goes in" for something. Some
go in for politics; some for foreign
missions; some for home rule; some

SURVEY OF LABOR RE
QUIRED ON GORGIA
CROPS IS MADE

a survey OF some 600 farms in the
coastal plain area of Georgia, made
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture, shows mat the average
number of hours OF labor used to pro-
duce an acre of cotton on 24o farms is
1925 hours OF man labor and 800 hours
of mule labor according to the report
made public by the State College this
week. Every operation from prepar-
ing the land to the final disposition of
the crop is included in these figures.
The average labor requirements per
acre of corn on $50 farms totaled 36.3
man hours and 326 mule hours: sweet
potatoes on SO farms required l3l
hours of man labor per acre and 66.4
hours OF mule labor; combinations of
corn, velvet beans, and peanuts on SO
farms required 37.l man hours and 337
mule hours; sugar cane (plant) on 81
farms required 1920 man hours and
1928 mule hours. Oats, wheat and
rye on 202 farms required 1874 man
hours and % mule hours per acre
There is a wide variation in the
| number of hours per acre which diff
ferent farmers put on the same kind
of crops, due almost entirely to the
different operations are performed. and
the method of harvesting the crop
The range of hours on cotton, for ex-
ample, is shown to be from less than
90 hours of man labor per acre to
more than 1870 hours of man labor
and from less than 80 hours of mule
labor more than 90 hours.

INTERESTING LETTER From N
CAROLINA TOBACCO EXPERT

Dear Mr.. Editor.

Dear Mr., Editor;
As the culture OF tobacco Is 'ncreas-
inc rapidly in your section 81 georgia
I believe can be OF service 10 the
new tobacco growers in giving CUT
some information learned by my IA
Their who began growing tobacco more
than fifty years ago Many years OF
experience taught my father that there
arebetter DAYS than others for harvest
ing tobacco in order for II 70 cure up
nicely. have a rich ''waxy and heavy
body. To find the way 10 tell these
dates ahead was a difficult job, but he
was finally successful.
For some reason, my father kept
this information secret from every
body. even his own family until short
while before his sudden death three
wears ago. In August before he died
in November he called visiting sister
and myself to the table where he was
writing and explained it all to us.
desire to pass this information to
as many tobacco growers as possible
| In explanation let me say that tobacco
has an oily substance which is its ma
tural possession. 1t has a sap (water
like other vegetation when the sap rises
il runs the oil out through the pores
of the leaves on the principle that OF
and water don't mix and oil being
lighter is pushed out by the sap. To
bacco harvested in this state will bt
light and clearly" when cured. There
being only sap in the tobacco. thi
evaporates in curing and leaves the to
bacco light and worthless. But, to
bacco harvested when the sap (water
is down and the oil in the leaves rem
ders it easily cured and makes it rich
oily and "waxy." This is because thu
tobacco is full of oil instead OF sal
(water) and oil being unable to evap
crate remains to give the tobacco
weight.
l shall be pleased to answer any
correspondence from tobacco grower
who may desire to write me. provided
postage is sent for reply.
Yours truly,
