Attend one of these demonstra-
tons and bring your question per-
tanning to poultry. Mr.. j. B. Hayes,
poultry specialist from the Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture, will be
present at these meetings.
1t is still early enough to put in
emergency hay crops if the regular
hay crop is going to be short. Sudan
Grass can be sown at the rate of 20
to rs pounds per acre broadcast on
soil that is well worked. Millet can
also be sown at this time broadcast
at the rate of 8 to pecks per acre.
A good stand of either millet or
Sudan Grass may be cut 60 to 70
days after planting.
Now is good time to sow the al
falfa or sweet clover without a nurse
crop as there is plenty of moisture
in the ground, and the plant will
have a chance to get a good growth
before fall. Seeding after July 20 is
rather risky.

filled to overlooking with beautiful
flowers, the gift of many admiring
friends.
DR.. Patton read comforting and
inspiring sermon, using no particular
text. His personal message was ap-
preciative of the Christian character
of the deceased and comforting to
the family. He paid beautiful tri-
butte to the life of the former st.
Peter man.
CDR. Rosenquist, whose memory we
would honor, was one of those fine
characters sometimes met in the
quiet places of life" he said, Mod
est, but keen and alert to all the best
things of life, he made large pace
for himself in the lives of his family
and those friends who were privileg-
ed to come within the circle of his
friendship. In professional life, he
gave the very best that was in him.
He showed no favortism or partial

the needy. For more than 80 years
he enriched his profession by his eff

Although beginning at Chatfeld,

The chautauqua was an American
institution that was praised as uni
que and low-cast method of bringing
the best thought and entertainment
to the people who would not other
wise be able to obtain it. 1t has
failed of late, and when it failed to
perform its work its end was in
sight. Why did it fail? Are we OBJ
tanning our ''best thot and enter
tainment" elsewhere, of higher
grade and at lower price? Does a
common Or garden variety chautau-
qua appeal to the man or woman
who has a good radio receiver, or
who reads the Literary Digest and
the Saturday Evening Post, to say
nothing of the more "highbrow' pub
locations? Whatever the reason, the
chautauqua, like the old farm buggy,
is passe, obsolete, inefficient; eve
louted out of our lives.-Spring Val

Rbled veterans whom the law does not reach
and about the care and bringing up of their
orphans.
who that remembers the sacrifices of the
Great War does not acknowledge the duty to
help the Legion in this patriotic work? The
men of the Legion are committed by its Con-
stltution, which binds them to consecrate
and Sanctify our comradeship by our devotion
to mutual helpfulnesss. How many cases of
want, disease and homelessness the Legion
has relieved with it's own funds, how often
members have contributed from their small
store OF money, will never be known.
"The Veterans Bureau functions under a
law of Congress that does not cover all cases
of distress. Many deserving ex-soldiers can
not qualify for aid under the terms of that
law. The Legion. succors them. 1t acts as
benevolent association auxiliary to the Vet
Grams Bureau.
@The time has come to raise an endow-
ment fund to carry on the work the Legion
has been doing. The amount asked for is
$5,000,000. The fund is to be "a perpetual
trust from which only the income shall be
used for the rehabilitation and child welfare
work of the Legion Outside of the Legion
posts and the organized auxiliaries many
thousands of volunteer workers are enlisted
to aid in the work.
LET the Legion speak for itself: In
performing service of this kind The American
Legion spends relatively little. money. It
commands enormous value of Service. The
American Legion Rehabilitation Service, which
the income OF the Endowment FunQ VIII nm
ance, costs fewer thousands than the govern
ment relief costs in millions. Yet the govern
ment service would time and again have
failed terribly but for the Legion Service
Director Frank T. Hines of the Veterans
Bureau has testified that many detailed types
of assistance fall into the hands of the Legion
posts for fulfillment.' Also he says: From
a survey of disclosures through the guardian
ship subdivision in the bureau, circumstances
affecting the children of veterans are not in
many instances what the public or the bur-
Ieau would desire them to be-
ssAside from rehabilitation of special
cases. The American Legion has pledged itself
to find a home for every homeless orphan of
a veteran, home where health, education
affection and character building shall take the
place of disease, ignorance and perhaps de-
velopment into lives of vice and crime AL
ready 5000 orphan children are cared for
thru local posts When temporary provision
is necessary, >billets' or groups of homes for
six to twelve youngsters have been established
with house mother in charge. What such
an undertaking means to the welfare of the
country no intelligent person needs to be told.
"Public officials from the President down,
prominent women in all parts of the country,
officers in the land and sea services, and men
eminent in civil life, have approved of The
American Legion Endowment Fund and prom
ised their assistance. People never engaged
in more unselfsh work.

boys came out from under and raj
lied to the extent of four runs.
Method and Benda were the batter
les for Duluth and Canton and
Shearer for Virginia.
Duluth at once jumped into Sec
ond place according to the papers
of that city but a careful perusal
of the League Standings at the head
of his article will show that all the
teams in the league outside of In
ternational Falls which is first and
Virginia which is last, are in sec
ond place.
Ely plays Morgan Park here next
Sunday and .expects to win. The
dopesters have it figured otherwise
by reason of the win of the Park
ers over the Falls last Sunday.
Late advices are that Duluth and
International Falls have withdrawn
from the Arrowhead circuit and will
play independent ball the balance
of the season. The Ely season
closes next Sunday with the Park
game. Manager Hall expects to ar
range several games for the coming
month and the Falls will probably
be seen in action here again.

after their arrival. The mayor tend
cred the visitors the keys to the city
and invited them to enjoy them
selves on this visit and to come
again. He also stated that cars
were provided for those wishing to
take side trips to nearby beauty
spots. Many of the guests took adj
vantage of this kindly offer and
visited BURNSIDE, White Iron, Bass
Lake, and other points of interest.
The Rainbo Four were on hand
and dancing was INDUCED in at the
pavilion to the excellent music fur
nished by this organization. The
pavilion was crowded to the doors
all afternoon. At 8 O'Clock many
of the picnicers attended the ball
game at Athletic Park between the
Hibbing and Ely teams and were
interested rooters for TIE Ely boys.
The special train left at about z
o'clock. for the return trip, all avow-
ing that they had fine day. The
railroad company furnished the
train and fuel. Fred Flora and Ed.
Larson were on the engine on the
trip to Ely and Claude Mills and
Arthur .Cyr on the return trip.
Conductors H. j. Andrews and F.
A. Hall had charge of the train

BEFORE ELY.
LOCAL TEAM TAKES A WELL
PLAYED GAME FROM THE
HIBBING BRAVES.

Before word could be gotten to
this city last week and the adver-
tising corrected, Repola, the coming
young pitcher at Hibbing was called
by the bigger stuff and is now get
ting a try-out with the Minneapolis
teams. The absence of Repola how
ever did not mar the event to any
great extent as Martinelli, the pitch
er Hibbing brought with them, did
excellent work and let Ely off with
seven hits while the visitors garner
ed six from Shoulder the local twirl-
er.
Hibbing opened the proceedings
by being promptly retired. Hoefler
for Ely went out in quick order and
Harold Chinn found one to his lik-
ing and sent it through for a circuit
of the bases into the open grounds
south of the Industrial school. This
concluded the run getting for sew
eral innings but Ely gradually came
to and eked out few runs in the
following frames. Hoef1er was the
champion run getter for Ely, secur-
ing two. Sinko followed suit for
Hibbing. One of Hoefier's runs wa
a circuit of the bases through a SER
les of overthrows on the part of the
Hibbing infeld. Ely held Hibbing
scoreless up to the seventh
and it looked remarkably like a
shutout. However a>rally in the sew
enth gave them a run and three
more were secured in the eighth.
A protested decision of Umpire Nee
han in the eighth almost lost Ely
the game and resulted in two runs
for Hibbing. The score at the end
of the ninth stood to 4. The box
score is attached:

written a letter to Governor Chris
tianson recommending the re-nam-
ing of the lakes in the state and
that commission should be ap-
pointed to do this.
Mr.. Ferguson calls to the atten-
ton of the governor the fact that
revision of the names of Minnesota
lakes should be made. He points
out the large number of duplica-
tions. On the list of Implications he
mentions are the following: z
Long lakes; 6 Pelican lakes; G Cedar
lakes; 5 Mud lakes; Pine lakes; a
Round lakes; Rice lakes; 3 Clear
lakes; 8 Trout lakes; 2 Bear lakes;
2 Black Duck lakes; 2 Buffalo lakes;
2 Cormorant lakes; 2 Pokegama
lakes; 2 Fish lakes; 2 George lakes;
2 Gull lakes; 2 Rush lakes; 2 Ten
Mile lakes; 2 Turtle lakes; 2 Twin
lakes, and Deer lakes. Every
county has Crooked lake and every
township a Lost Lake, the latter
name being used when no other was
handily available.
The Miner makes the suggestion
that when this is done that the
Indian names of the lakes be retain
ed insofar as they. do not duplicate.
Another writer has also suggested a.
meritorious method of remaining
these bodies of water after noted
men of the state and thus honor
ing their memory

RAILROAD PEOPLE
HAVE FINE PICNIC.
ECIAL TRAIN OF NINE
COACHES BRING MERRY
MAKERS.

The annual picnic of the Trans
portation Brotherhood of the Du-
luth & Iron Range at Sandy Point
last Sunday was an enjoyable event
and participated in by about 1000
people.
The special train of nine coaches
and two baggage cars on board of
which were about 750 people from
Duluth, Two Harbors and points
along the line, arrived at 1880.
The train was run to the tracks
near the Pioneer office where cars
were waiting to take those desiring
to the picnic grounds. The great
er part of the excursionists however
walked the five blocks. Drays were
also on hand to convey the baskets
and supplies.
The cooks were busy on the ar
rival of the crowds and the frag
rant aroma of coffee soon proclaim
ed the fact that the dinner hour
had arrived. The baskets were
emptied of their contents and the
parties grouped themselves about
the tables, the long trip up having
given all, especially the children,
an appetite.
After dinner a sport program
was run off and the younger ones of
the party donned bathing suits and
enjoyed the excellent beach at the
Point. A light picnic shower, an
automatic event wherever and when
ever picnics are held, failed to
dampen the ardor of the gathering.
A pleasing feature Of the pro-
gram was. the excellent music of
the Two Harbors City. Band. This
local organization enjoys reputa-
ton not usually held by the small
err towns and cities and the ap-
probation of their music was gem
eral. Nothing adds more to the en-
joyment of any event than good
music and the Two Harbors band
furnished lots of 1t.
Owing to the fact that Mayor
Hanson was called out of the city
in the afternoon he made his well

CHINESE PHEASANTs
ON UPER|ORF CREST
TEN PAIRS OF PHEASANTS
PLACED AT THE HALFWAY
FOR PROPAGATION.

Several weeks ago, twenty healthy
specimens of Chinese pheasant were
placed at liberty in the Superior
National Forest at the Halfway on
the Ely-Finland road by the Ely
Chapter of the Izaak Walton League.
The birds are expected to winter
themselves and propagate in the
spring. Should the experiment prove
success, other fiocks will be liber-
ated next season at various points
in the Forest until these handsome
birds become as numerous as the
partridge is today.
AS the grouse season opens this
year, it is hoped the hunter will
carefully note what he is shooting
at and try and abstain from killing
any of the planted birds. Mem
bers of the League, the Forest Off
Gals and the game wardens will be
on the watch. The birds have been
liberated in a section where grouse
have never been seen and there will
be no excuse for killing them. A
female pheasant of the species re-
sembles the grouse while in the
brush.
A committee IS also at work on
the subject of securing carload
of elk from Montana points for the
Superior National Forest for stock
ing purposes. The elk can be
secured for nominal price each,
the transportation end of the trans
action being the sticker at present.
At meeting of the League held
Monday evening it was decided to go
ahead with the proposition and the
State Game and Fish Commission
win be appealed to to assist in the
undertaking. Elk do well in Min
nesota and a few herds would be a
fine substitute for the vanished carl
bou and the disappearing moose
which civilization is rapidly driving
north to less civilized sections.

What The American Legion Endow-

income from it, should be made known to
everyone concerned about the relief of dis
