THE ANT AND THE CRICKET
sillv Young Cricket, accustomed

A silly young Cricket, accustomed
to sing
Through .ue warm summer months
of gay summer and spring,
Began to complain, when he found
that at home
His cupboard was empty and win
ter was come.
Not a crumb to be found
On the snow-covered ground;
+ Not a flower could he see,
Not leaf on a tree.
"0h, what will become" says the
Cricket, "of me?"
At last, by starvation and famine
made bold,
All dripping with wet and all trem-
bling with cold,
Away he set off 10 miserly Ant,
To see if, to keep alive, -he would
grant
Him shelter from rain;
A mouthful of grain
He wished only to borrow
He'd repay it tomorrow
If not, he must die of starvation and
sorrow.
Says the Ant to the Cricket, "Pm
your servant and friend,
But we Ants never borrow, we
Ants never lend;
But tell me, dear sir, did you lay
nothing by
When the weather was warmf" Said
the Cricket, 'Not l,
My heart was so light
That l sang day and night,
For all nature looked gay"
'You sang, sir, you say?
Go them" said the Ant, "and dance
winter away"
Thus ending, he hastily lifted the
wicket,
And out of the door turned the poor
little Cricket.
Though this is a fable, the moral is
good;
If you live without work, you must
live without food. Eek.

Thousands of people throughout
the state two weeks ago received
boxes of neckties sent out by an
eastern manufacturing concern "on
suspicion. Those who receive them
are expected to remit the price or
to return them. This is graft pure
and simple and those receiving
goods of this nature and in this
manner, in justice to the local mer-
chant, should return them at once.
If you want 10 cent neckties go to
the 10 cent store. Legitimate
dealers are not forced TO resort to
such tactics to dispose of their
goods. 1t would serve the firm
sending out this stuff we'll right if
everybody kept them and said no
more about it. The only bad feat
urs about this would be, the goods
would be like a white elephant on
your hands, neither useful nor orna-
mental, besides you would be keep
ing something that did not belong
to you and which you did not want.

VIRGINIA DEFEATS ELY
(By Arnold Anderson

NIkSlNtA DEF EAlS ELI
SCORE FL TO o.
Virginia defeated Ely at Virginia
in a bitterly fought contest. The
Ore Diggers won because they held
the eye of Lady Luck, while Ely
never became acquainted with that
person. The locals clearly out
classed the Virginia team in the Sec
ond half of the game, but when
they approached the goal a tumble
or misplay invariably occurred and
the chance was lost.
In the first quarter Ely received;
Heikkila taking the ball. The Ely
back raced down the sldeline shak-
ing off all tacklers until he was
confronted by a clear field and the
Virginia safety man. However,
this fellow was on the alert and he
soon squelched any hopes the Ely
spectators might have for score.
Virginia scored twice in this quar-
ter. Once recovering tumble
near the Ely goal, and then smash
ing the ball over the goal on line
plays. Goal was kicked. Soon
afterward Virginia scored again
when Abrahamson ran back Ely's
punt for a touchdown. Goal was
kicked.
During the second period Vir-
ginia recovered another Ely tumble
near the Ely goal and by hitting
the line they obtained their third
score. They again kicked goal.
The Ely plays did not function and
as result the Ely backs were
thrown for losses.
The second half was marked by
the reversal Of form of the Ely
players, who charged low, hit hard,
and had the Virginia men sprawled
all over the field. Coach Buckley's
usual speech between halves most
likely instilled the added impetus.
The Ely linemen opened up wide
holes for their backfeld men who
made one first down after another
and who threatened the Virginia
| goal time after time only to tumble
at the critical moments.
The Ely linemen completely frus-
trated the Virginia offense during
the second half and they often
broke through to nail the Virginia
chargers behind the Ene
Both teams resorted to straight
football, the Ely style working the
better, especially during the second
half. Ely gained more ground than
Virginia and also held the advantage
in punting.
Clough and Bill Maxi scintillated
for Ely, the former on the line and
the latter in the backfeld.
A free for all fight was in the
makings after the game, but police
man interfered and put an end to
| the uprising.

Two Harbors who opens Ely's
home football season will come with
their usual heavy aggregation, but
the locals have no fear for the big
outfits in fact they are outweighed
by every team they run up against.
Ely high school teams have always
been noted for their fighting spirit
and this year is no exception. The
home team has improved consider
ably of late and is determined to
hand the touted North Shore men a

ELLEN

VERY few people know that Ellen
may be spelled Ellin and still re-
main the same charming name which
signifies Eight" or radiance" In
these days of affection when Ediths
turn into Edythes overnight and Alice
becomes Alys, it is interesting to dis
cover that even the somewhat simple
name of Ellen is capable of adapta-
ton.
The name comes from the Greek
root Ele which was first used in the
name of the moon deity Selene. From
Ele again sprang the most noted of
all Greek names, Helene, from which
Ellen is directly derived The latter
name made it's first appearance in
Scotland where the pronunciation
caused the Fl to be dropped from
Helene
In Wales, Ellin was adopted in
place of Helene. 1t came into being
through the Eglwys Han, the church
of Helen, which was greatly revered
by the insular Kelts. Ellen has
achieved almost as great popularity in
this country as her predecessor Helen.
Her vogue was greatly increased by

qHE WHY of
SUGGESTIONS
BY H. IRVING KING
CROWS AND THE CROPS

a S A rule crows are birds Of evil
: omen. But there is one condition
under which farmer may see crow
to his advantage. If solitary crow
is seen walking about field just be-
fore it is put to seed then it is an
omen of good crops. But should the
lone crow perch on limb overlook
ing the field as the seed is being put
in the corn will run to stalk and there
will be precious little grain. And if
the crow caws the crop will be a total
failure.
This is because the crow-or the
raven, which is practically the same
thing-is an attendant bird of Odin,
the chief of the Morse gods, and Odin
had direct interest in agriculture, as
many stories of him attest. 1t was
formerly the custom in the Scandi-
navian peninsula to leave standing in
the field after the harvest sheaf of
wheat "For Odin's horses" and the
god is represented as once having pro-
tected in person a field of rye near
Troienborg in which rye grew with
astounding fruitfulness. Now when
the bird OF Odin walks quietly over a
field, inspecting it, he is acting for his
master-giving it Odin's protection.
This is mythology, survival of the
Morse religion But in the perching
Of the crow upon limb overlooking
the field we see the introduction of
magic. He is perched on limb-a
stalk, as it were-and so, by sympa-
thetic magic, the future crops will run
to stalk in imitation of the limb upon
which the crow perches. The ancients
not infrequently mixed up magic with
their mythology.

gan, but it digests only the proteids
or alLumenoids.
The mucus secreted by its glands
gives moisture and slipperiness to the
food mass, and the hydrochloric acid
and peDsin digest or liquefy it.
These substances may be in excess.
they may be deficient, and in rare
cases may be absent.
Subacidity, or hypochyila, means
there is not enough of them for diges-
tive purposes, just as in superacidity
there is too much
Subacidity is less common than
superacidity, occurs oftenest With
those who have some kind of nervous
disorder and is unattended by intiam-
nation or gastritis.
1t comes and goes and alternates
with periods when there is too much
hydrochloric acid.
This fact is determined by exami-
nation of the contents of the stomach
removed when digestion is at its
height.
Connected with subacidity is a con-
dition known as "atony" of the stom-
ach which means that the muscular
coat is more or less paralyzed and
does not contract and churn its con-
tents about, which is an essential part
of the digestive process
The conditions causing subacidity
may continue until at length no acid
at all is secreted, which would mean
that some of the tubules which pro-
duce gastric juice have atrophied or
withered and will be of no further use.
If there is only moderate subacidity
there may be no urgent symptoms Of
any kind; hut if the condition persists
anemia may develop with possible ter
mination in cancer; hence the matter
must not he neglected
The ordinary symptoms are discom-
fort and sense of weight and full
ness when digestion is going on, want
of appetite, belching, headache dizzi-
ness and constipation.
In treating it the general condition
should be improved by simple food. a
glass of hot water before meals, sleep
in abundance, outdoor exercise, sun
shine and freedom from worry if pos
Sibfe.
Should the disease become very
troublesome the contents of the stom-
ach should be examined and course
of treatment instituted by one who is
familiar with stomach diseases.
