with the show put on by these boys.
The main event in the boxing
show was the four round bout be-
tween Tony Lickar, the Ely favorite,
and Handsome Pikka of Virginia.
These men were matched several
weeks ago when they were to appear
at the Memorial Gymnasium as an
adjunct to the Ketonen-Demetral
wrestling bout. At that time Lickar
was on hand but Pikla, for reasons
best known to himself failed to
appear. Lickar and VIM. McFarlane
went "a few exhibition rounds at that
time for the benefit of the fans.
Pikka weighed in at $50 pounds
while Lickar tipped the scales at 155
pounds. "Jene' Jondas refereed
both bouts. Pikka had frankie Cam
den of Virginia in his corner while
Lickar had McFarlane in his corner.
At the sound of the gong, both men
went at it hammer and tongs In
the second round Pikka was badly
p unded and received a cut over his
left eye which bled profusely. The
battle was practically won by Lickar
in this round as from then on there
was nothing to it. Pikka took the
count of nine several times during
the four fierce periods and clinched
on each and every occasion presum-
ably to bolster up his tottering
chances but it was of no avail and
he went down and out in the fourth
round. >,
This was the first opportunity
the fans had of seeing the local boy
in action in a fight. They were well
pleased with the showing and other
matches will be arranged. Tony has
been fighting with excellent success
in some of the Wisconsin cities. He
is an athletic young man with excel
lent staying power and impervions to
punishment. During Mondays bout
he was all to the good at all times
and lost no blood nor his smile. He
spends his time at Crawford Lodge
under the care of DIR. Travis and
continually keeps in trim. With a
little more boxing ability coupled
with his staying and hitting power,
Tony should make IA mark in the
fstic field.
The celebration concluded with a
display of fireworks at the gravel pit
and the novelty dance at the Audit
orium. Everybody in town was at
the fireworks display which pleased
the immense crowd, auto horns and
hand clappings greeting the larger
part of the display. The aerial
bombs, Minnehaha Fails and the pa
triotic set piece at the conclusion of
the display received the larger Tart
of the applause. The dance was
attended by large crowd and all
enjoyed themselves. Music was fur
nished by the Rainbo Orchestra.
1t was a glorious day and not am
accident happened to mar the oc-
casion. The celebration of the 150th |
of American Independ-
ence in Ely was a success.

Weather and Everything Proved Conducive te
in Ely.
Fine Program, Fine Crowd, Good Ball Came
Excellent Boxing Match. Music and Sports

Early in the morning of Monday,
the day of the celebration of July
4th, the weather promised every
thing but a fine day. About eight
o'clock things cleared up and by nine
when the Community Band in their
handsome new uniforms showed up
the crowds packed the streets ready
to go.
The parade got away on the dot.
First there were the colors carried
by uniformed American Legion men
and the color guard. Then came the
Auxiliary colors and guard followed
by the Community Band; veterans
of the several wars; the City Coun-
ell; several troops of Girl Scouts
with their leaders; Calithumpians;
school children carrying flags; Fire
trucks; decorated automobiles and
floats and citizens in autos. The
parade was over ten blocks in length
and was an inspiring sight. 1t
wound up at the Community Center.
The Legion Auxiliary float de-
picting the reading of the Declarat
ton of Independence received first
prize and several couples whose
names could not be learned received
prizes for the Calithumpian make
ups. Decorated bicycles also re-
deived prizes. All the children in
the parade were given dime and
of dimes were given out before the
O dimes were given out before the
end of the line was in sight.
w. d. Gallagher, Jr., home from
the east for a vacation, was pressed
into service and he read the Declare
ton of independence. This inspir-
ing document always sounds good to

Mr.. Gallagher in clear and finely
intoned manner, lost none of its i'm
pressivness. Past Commander w.

tend every one of the fine features
offered and still be able to reach
home the same night is their cars.
Secretary Art. Knutson has mailed
out invitations, banquet reservation
cards and statements of dues to the
members this week and 1T is hoped
that as many as possible will prompt
ly fill out the cards and remit their
dues in order to facilitate the work
of the officers on the day of the
meeting.
Tower is making elaborate prep
arations for entertaining the old
timers and specialties in the enter
tainment line are being prepared.
There will be the usual time for rec
option in the morning; the annual
parade; the picnic at McKinleyPark;
the basket lunch and "booya" dinner
the Association furnishing the "boo-
va, cream and sugar for the dinner
but members are requested to bring
lunch for themselves and families
and friends; program of sports on
land and water; banquet in the ev-
ening Feature for Old Settlers and

and some of the solid pinks are par
ticularly desirable.
Another pink border plant that
makes round clumps of foliage with
taller flowers is the coral bell (heu-
chera sanguneal. 1t has heart-shaped,
deep-green leaves that remain all sum-
mer in good condition and graceful
swaying flower stems set with droop-
ing color-colored small bells, which also
continue in scattered bloom all sum

in color, but none are better than the
type.
Similar in size to the heuchera. the
carpatian hairbell lCampanula carpat-
iCa) may he classed as one of the
larger border plants. And like the
heuchera it is of value for beauty OF
flower and for continued bloom. Its

blooming well in the shade.

benefit New England. Everything electrical will be in one bag, owned and operated by one giant power octopus.
 So far as developing power and distributing it where needed is con- cerned, this may be a good thing: and again, it may be freighted with some dangers. unless the federal government keeps a tight hold on the situation.
 Under the shadow of such a pos sibility, when we talk of developing New England power to the utter most limits it does not mean de- veloping it for the exclusive benefit of this tier of states, but for the benefit of all other states at the same time.
 If that is to be the ultimate ob- ject of the mergeritis fever. with the Insuls operating the national switchboard, this heavy talk about New England power does not amount to so much. The time may come when we will be transmitting power to Niagara Falls or Kalama- zoo, or getting Juice" from Colorado.

NEW BRITAiN'S COST OF GOVERNMENT

It costs every man, woman and child In New Britain s29.G0 year to maintain the city government, based on an annual outlay of S2,- G26,96O, according 10 the govern ment report. To the best of our knowledge and belief this includes everything.
 Obviously, that means that the adults of the city, the taxpayers, pay more than this per capita levy. The children and most of their mothers actually pay their share through the head Of the family.
 It must not be overlooked that every person pays his share. regard less of how indirectly 1t is done. A to the city. except when he goes through the annual rite of paying his personal poll tax; but in reality he pays his share every time he makes a purchase, from a package of garden seeds 10 buying an auto mobile.
 The per capita cost of govern ment in New Britain is not high. II may be a surprise to most folk to realize that the cost of crime in the United States is estimated at being higher per capita than the price of

A "WAGON FEE

A wagon fee for those unfortun- ates who need the tender admins traitor of the blue coats. We have become quite accust omed to convert charges, service fees, and similar ex- actions.
 As wagon fee depends alto- gether upon what the judge thinks about 1t, the outlook is not particu- larly promising. If wagon fee, why not service fee after the guest arrive at the police station? Why not ten cent hat check system?
 This matter should be placed -pon night club basis, If the roisterers do not want to pay for all the attention they force upon themselves let them be good and not get arrested.

EXTENDING THE FIRE
 ZONE

One cannot help getting the i'm pression that the large quantity Of discussion is brewing in connection with the proposal to extend the fire zone of the city.
 All property within the fire zone which has not been changed since 19l4-must be of fireproof con- struction. If the zone is extended Il will mean the necessity to fireproof more buildings, for since the present zones were established the business heart of the city has expanded con- siderably and will no doubt take in considerable more territory within the next decade.
 On the face of the returns re- vamping of the fire zone once every dozen years seems reasonable. Many citizens, however, will look upon the plan as an inconvenient invas- ion of rights.
 Our bet is that the fire zone will be extended. There are weighty req sons therefore which in all probabil' ity will carry the proposal to victory

GOVERNMENT POLICY WITHIN STATES

The government has never allow ed itself to assume the responsibility of protecting foreigners charged with crime within the states. The rights of states to satisfy their own ideas of justice has been fully recog- nzed by the federal government.
 But In the -Vanzetti case it is pointed out that agents for the department of justice went out of their way to assist in convicting the two Massachusetts Italian.
 The New Republic. In asking the federal government 10 investigate the activities of the department of justice agents in this case Is entirely logical. An investigation is needed. So much doubt has been thrown about this cause cclebre that no other course can be regarded as just.
 The Boston Herald, the most con- servative organ in Boston, itself has investigated sufficiently 10 convince It's editors that the case needs air ing.
 Either the men are guilty or they are not their previous trial notwith- standing. As things now are. no way 10 find out is possible except through investigation of how the evidence was worked mp with the assistance Of government agents who, it Is charged, were operating under a psychology to convict at any cost.
 Furthermore, such an invcstiga ton Is necessary to convince the world that American Jurisprudence IS really blindfolded, and not only blinafol1nd over one eye.

FARM REVOLT AGAIN DUE TO TESTER US

] News from the west is disquieting. All was thought to be well in the corn and COW country, with the leaders of the farm revolt of recent memory busy doing their share 1 toward bringing their recalcitrant subjects into line with the admin istration.
 Such complacency, however seems 10 have been misplaced. Frank R. Kent, the vitriolic political writer employed on the Baltimore Sun, who makes a practice of shedding light in dark places, has dis covered that sundry important farm gatherings have not been adequately reported in eastern papers. According to this writer farm gatherings in Indianapolis, St. Louis, St. Paul, and numerous other cities in the farm belt, have been char acterized by fire and birthstone talk against the presumptions of the ad- ministration that the boys in the hog country were licked and taking it laying down.
 Government spokesmen have been giver to understand there would be no let-up in the demands of the agricultural insurgents, and if any, thing, there would be a more ef- fective turnout of the disaffected than in the past.
 The new idea is to combine with the southern cotton planters, who because of the low price of cotton are naturally blaming somebody in Washington. They are expected to be keen to let their emotions be generally known.
 First intimation that there would be something doing in the fireworks business was when the announce ment was made that a new Haugen bill would be presented in the next Congress, with a demand for ''in- stant action," or words 10 that effect
 All this is to take place as the 1928 political horizon looms. If there is time to strike and hit hard. its farm leaders can be relied upon will be within the next two years. The farm leaders can be relied upon to get out their mallets. The farm situation, despite all the pleasant propaganda that has originated from the Potomac, is destined to be more unsettled than ever.

NEW ENGLAND POWER
FOR THE WEST

What this agitation of "New England power for New England" amounts 10 was Illustrated the other day when electric power generated in the middle west was used to light some of the street lamps in Boston.
 It was an experiment, of course, to indicate to the electrical engineers experimenting with super power what could be donc-or what could be done as regular thing in the future.
 If the experiment showed any thing conclusively it showed that New England power could be trans- mlttcd just as effectively to the west.
 It means that when the power companies get their mergeritIs schemes more thoroughly in work ing order that the nation will be blanketed with one vast networ}, Of electric wires, with no section hay- ing any particular advantage over inc other regardless of how much excess power it may have at its dis posal
 The plan is 10 have q "bus" electric line of 50O.O0O volts from the Atlantic 10 the Pacific. The highest voltage so far transmitted has been 200.0oo. and this over n distance of about BOO miles in Cali iornla, The electrical wizards are confident that the day Of transmit ting a voltage of 5000 is not far distant.
 What will that mean to New Eng land? Simply that the interstate power development we read about will not only benefit New England but will also benefit other sections: similarly the interstate superpower development in other states will
