Mountain Iron Tonight.

Tonight the High School basket
ball season will be opened when the
local first and second teams will
battle with the Mountain Iron first
and second teams. The second team
game will be the preliminary to the
varsity contest.
Last year the Ely and Mountain
Iron varsity quintettes broke even
in their two game series. Ely won
at Mountain Iron early in the season
while Mountain Iron won over Ely
on the local floor later in the sea-
son. The visitors are credited with
having practically the same team
as last year and they intend to start
the season with a win.
The local high school team has
not as yet acquired any great deg
rec of efficiency but they may hit
their stride and vanquish the range

JUNIOR COLLIE TRIUMPHS
OVER HIGH SCHOOL.

In a rough and tumble battle that
clearly showed the lack of practice
on the part of both teams, the Jun
Tor College trounced the High School
for the second consecutive year.
The College men took the lead early
in the game and were never headed
although the High School threatened
number of times.
Pluth sunk the first basket for the
Junior College. Ahola then fol-
lowed with another but Hill of the
High School made it up when he
broke loose for a pot shot. Ahola
had the range of the basket during
the second quarter and put the ball
through the hoop twice. Skala and
Grahek of the high school connected
for a basket and free throw respect
lively during the second period.
The college men set a fast pace
during the first half but fumbling at
critical moments cost them their
scoring opportunities. The high
school team handled the ball well,
but displayed slowness in working
the ball down the floor and only
occasionally did they get close shot
The college boys rallied at the
start of the second half and scored
three baskets in rapid succession

GOLDEN RULE"
SUNDAY NEXT.

Sunday, December 9Th, is known
throughout the United States as
Golden Rule Sunday. The day has
been set aside in remembrance Of
the children of the Near East. 1Lese
children of Armenian parentage are
the wards of the Christian Nations.
Fifty-two nations have banded to-
gether to care for them. Thous-
ands of these children were made
homeless and orphaned by the Turks
who drove the Armenian people out
of their ancestral homes after des-
troying over 100000 men, women
and children.
The call has come again to Amer
lea to further aid these unfortunates
who have passed through terrible
;snowstorms and billiards. A second
catastrophe of earthquakes complet-
ed the ruin of what the first storm
had left.
During the week the Scouts of
Ely will leave in each home an en-
Ivelope. This contains information
concerning this world charity. There
is a blank form for those who wish
to donate by check. On Sunday,
December 9Th, a drive will take
place in the afternoon. All the
homes will be visited. Your checks
or cash will be received by the sol
icitors. The Mothers Club has TAX
en- the responsibility for the drive.
Mayor Hanson and Mrs. Leino will
be at the Community Center to re-
ceive the returns of the drive.
The citizens Of Ely are asked to
be ready to receive the canvassers
Have your donation ready in the en-
velope which the Scouts distribute
This will facilitate the work of the
