self a fancy skater and speed
artist in the rink, claims that,
providing the roads are in good
condition. it is probable the first
marathon skater to finish will not
breast the tape in less than six
hours from the start.
Should the sun be warm enough
to make the roadway soft the skat
ers will be compelled to cut down
their strokes to almost a walking
length to keep from seriously IN
juring themselves. Ruts in the
road, sticks, stones. pebbles, etc,
all constitute hazards that will keep
the skaters on the alert every sec
ond of the 45.mile route.
It is expected that upsets and
spills will be frequent along the
entire route. These, however,
will not affect the final result
as It will be a race against
time with four beautiful silver
nvywNn kIa
tet who first cross the finish
line in front Of the Roller
Palace at CarIin's.
Foremost among the competitors
entered in the race is William
CMuddy) Sprigett, Canadian anna
teur skating champion and former
ice skating champion Of the Donlin-
ion. Sprigett placed third in the
national amateur championships
that were held in Cleveland last
year after being forced out of one
of the heats by broken wheel
just when the championship was
in sight.
Baltimore contenders include the
city and State champions and a
galaxy Of stellar performers of
the rink. William Johnston, of
California, is one of the best
known skaters to enter.
The course will be from the
Zero milestone north through
Executive Avenue to Madison
Place, to Vermont Avenue, to
Rhode Island Avenue and east on
Rhode Island Avenue to the Dis
trict line. The course then follows
the Washington boulevard to Mon
roe Street, to Mondawin Terrace, to
Reisterstown Road, and to the fin
ish line at Carlin Park.

The Cardinals are so impressive, in
fact, that some handicappers are
picking them to break the point total
record.
The champion Trojans win have
another fine team, built around
Charley Borah, national sprint cham
pion, and Lee Barnes, Olympic win
mer in the pole vault, but the loss of
Houser, Dye, Grumbles and others
have left them in position where
they can hardly hope for better than
second place. Borah generally is
named to win both spirits and
Barnes and Williams may make
pole.vault history, particularly with
Sabin Carr, Bradley, Pickard and
other stars in the field, but the old
team balance isn't there.
Other potential point winners for
abe Trojans are Kaer in the low
hurdles, Reynolds in the high sticks,
Hill in the broad jump and Cogges-
hall in the high jump.
No eastern team figures to finish
within dozen points of this pair.
In fact, 1t might fall to California
to finish third and give the last
q sweep of the field. However,
the Bears have sent East only a
small squad and the doubtful honor
of finishing third may be accepted
by Yale, Harvard, Georgetown or
Penn State.

ELY EXHIBIT At

EXHIBIT AGAIN ATTRACTING
THE ATTENTION OF LOVERS
OF THE OUTDOORS.

As in previous years, Ely is again
making an exhibit at the Fifth
National Outdoor Life Exposition in
Chicago this week. The exhibit. ac-
companied by James Moonan, Joe
Pluth, Harrison Sletten and Arnold
Jylha left here last week and was
placed and ready for the opening of
the exposition. In addition to the
Ely exhibit, the Arrowhead Country
has AN exhibit as also mas Lake Yer
million and Tower.
Ely has Always prided itself on its
exhibit and this wonderful wilder
ness area and vast canoe country Is
being much talked about. !" We have
a wonderful exhibit, by far the most
attractive in the whole building" is
the news received from Joe Pluth,
secretary of the advertising COM
mittee.
Considerable effort was made to
secure live specimens, beaver, bear
and musNat. Warden Bill Hanson
tried very hard to secure some live
beaver and muskrat for the exhibit,
but without success on account OF
the high water.
Commissioner j. Gould gave the
matter his personal attention and
secured six live muskrat from the
Ten Thousand Lakes Fur Farm. The
rats will add a great deal to the eff
fectiveness and success of the ex-
hibit.

VETERANS ASK

LEGION AND DISABLED VETS
ASK FOR REMOVAL OF RE-

Disabled American Veterans have

regional director of the veterans
bureau.

ton holds Mr.. Hibbard personally

PARKS ALONG ROADS
is AIM OF NEW LAW

A beginning toward the develop
ment of forest strips and public
parks along the highways in Mime
sofa has been made through the pass
age by the recent legislature of bill
permitting st. Louis county to pur-
chase strips of land along the high
ways, for public use. The bill applies
only to one county, but if the plan
meets with favor it may be extended
to other counties in the future. Not
more than $4,000 q year may be
spent for land, and the land must be
within 200 feet Of the highway
right-of-way.
The State Highway Department
has always favored the preservation
and propagation of trees along the
highways, but it has not been practi-
cal TO have trees on the right-of-way
when the land Immediately adjoining
the right-of-way is clear, as the high
way trees cause snow to drift and in
terfere with travel. Trees immedi-
ately outside the right-of-way, on the
other hand, viii help to prevent snow
blockades as well as adding TO the
enjoyment of travel.

sonally responsible for this con-
scienceless swindle, for If he did not
apprise himself of the conditions at
that time he is grossly inefficient;
and if he did not know and allowed
this fraud to go on month after
month he acted dishonesty, and not
only broke faith with the unfortu-
nate disabled, but also with the
president and congress of the United
States, and all the American people.
Therefore Be It Resolved: That we
members of the Disabled Veterans
of the World War, st. Paul Chapter
No. 2, Inc, respectfully request the
immediate dismissal of Regional
Manager C. d. Hibbard, and
Be It Further Resolved: That our
delegates be instructed to take this
resolution to both the state and
national conventions of the Disabled
American Veterans of the World war
to be held in 1927, and
Be 1t Further Resolved: That
copies of the resolution be sent TO
the President of the United States,
United States senators from Mime
sofa, the member in congress from
this district, Gen. Frank T. Hines,
director of the United States Vet
Grams bureau, the national COM
mander of Disabled Veterans, the
Department of Disabled
Veterans, and the news

FIRST BALL GAME
Of THE SEASON.
THE KELLY-DULUTH BRAVES
WHO WERE DECLARED CHAM
PIONS OF THE DULUTH CIR
CUT FOR 1926 1926 WILL BE
ELY'S FIRST VICTIMS.

The base ball season will be opened
most auspiciously Sunday next when
this years Ely team will go up
against the Kelly-Duluth champions.
Under the management of Ernest
Maddren and his assistant Louis
SLENDER, the Ely team has been Sc
lected with view of annexing az
pennants and other emofuments in
this section of the state besides furn-
ishing the citizens OF Ely and other
towns in the circuit with brand of
baseball similar, or better, than the
brand furnished last year. Last
years team was strong enough to
get into the all-state finals only to
be defeated in the last game by the
strong South ST. Paul Arm 'urs.
The lineup as announced by Man.
ager~ Maddern is as follows: Catcher
Anthony; Pitcher-"Red" Evans;
First Base Canton; Second Base
H. Chinn; Third Base-Bouska;
Shortstop-Bowers; Left Field
HYDE; Center Field = Lawre, &c;
Right Field-Lambert; Subs-Stark-
man and Lindbeck.
Pitcher Evans comes from the III
League and shows all the earmarks #
a good man. Bowers and Hyde are
from Superior and played with the
renowned Superior Cops. The bal
ance of the team is too well known
to need an introduction. All are sea-
soned players. A considerable hole
was cut into the team by the illness
of Ray Hoefer who has been pro-
hibited from playing until later In
the season by physicians.
It is hoped that the first game will
see all of last years fans on the
ground to root the Ely team on to
victory. The game is called for 80.

SECOND LIBERTY LOAN
BONDS TO BE PAID

Secretary Mellon has called for
payment on November Is, 1927, all
outstanding Second Liberty Loan
bonds. Interest on these bonds will
cease on November Is, 1927. APP
proximately $1,70O, 100000 of these
bonds are now outstanding.
While the lids will be paid on
November Is, 1927, it is quite prob
able that during the next six months
the Treasury will extend to the hold
ers of the Second Liberty Loan bon
an opportunity TO exchange them for
other government securities. No an
nouncement has as yet been made
as to the type of security to be OF
fered in exchange or the date on
which the exchange offer may be ex-
pected. The Treasury explains that
the terms of the bonds require tn 1t
notice be given TO the public six
months in advance of the redemption
date. The Secretary's announce
ment,. therefore, does not mean tn It
the bonds will be paid at the presen.
time, but merely places the holders
OF notice that THESE bonds viii be
redeemed on November Is, and will
cease to bear interest on that date.
In 1917 and 1918, it will be re-
called, when the government was
selling bonds of the several Liberty
Loans, nationwide campaign was
conducted, every available facility
being used 70 reach the public and
sell bonds. The situation is now prac-
tically reversed, and the Government
is preparing to redeem or exchange
some of these bonds. While no such
elaborate canvass is contemplated
for the redemption notice as was un-
dertaken in 1917, the Treasury
nevertheless is making a special eff
fort to inform the holders of Second
Liberty Loan bonds that their bonds
will cease to bear interest on No
vember 18th. Banks and trust
companies throughout the country
will be asked to cooperate with the
government in spreading the news
of this call for redemption and in
advising the holders of bonds that
the Treasury will probably offer new
securities in exchange. For the first
time the radio will be used by the
Government as a means of reaching
millions of bondholders. An an
nouncement will shortly be broad
cast from the larger radio stations
of the country.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY
MEETS WITH FAVOR.
SENIOR CLASS PLAY ATTRACTS
A FULL HOUSE TUESDAY
EVENING-ACTORS AND AC-
TRESSES DO FINE WORK IN
DIFFICULT PARTS.

"The Mennonite Maid" was pre-
sented by the Senior Class of the
High School before very apprecia-
tive audience Tuesday evening. The
players had mastered the peculiar
Pennsylvania Dutch brogue and were
quite proficient with their "yets and
s'alreadys." The rather difficult
character comedy in four acts was
ably presented. The play conferred
around the Mennonite Maid" ably
portrayed by Florence Ayres. As
sisting her in the title roles were
Vienna Somero, Florence Childers,
Urho Hokkanen, Jack Gerzin, John
Heikkila, James Edwards, Mildred
Rothman, Marjorie James, Loren
Lyngholm, James Bolinger and Carlo
Colombo.
The Mennonites form a religious
body better known in the eastern
states than here in the middle west.
They came to America in 1853 and
settled in Pennsylvania, where they
are known as the Pennsylvania
Dutch" Ait the present time their
churches have been established in
many states with a total membership
of about $4,000.
Their religious beliefs are very
strict, any failure to conform to
them being punished in one of two
ways. FIR first offense, the guilty
person is "set back" The second,
and more severe form of punishment
is to be "put out of meeting" This
signifies that the soul is lost.
The customs of the Mennonites
are quaint and interesting. Their
style If dress resembles that of the
early Quakers.

AUXILIARY COLLECT ING
CLOTHING.

Funds for the Red Cross are ur'
gently requested and everyone is be-
ing urged to give all they possibly
can. During the past year, the Am
erican Red Cross has had over
twenty disasters TO contend with and
has stood up nobly under each.
The late flood disaster is the great
est on record and thousands are
homeless and must De taken care OF
until such time as they again wal
become seaf sustaining. The heo
Cross has sent out sos calls b the
country at large for funds, clothing,
bedding. eatables and medicines and
the supply viii never become too
large for the demands made by the
stricken areas.
The Ely Chapter, through its OF
fcers. Mrs. P. Schaefer, president;
Mrs. w. E. Trezona, secretary and
Mrs. w. o. Parker, traeurer last
week sent in $4,000 to the Duluth
Chapter for food relief. This was
taken from the fund held in the bank
and secured through membership
drives in the past, half of the drive
money remaining in the local treas
ury for emergencies. The drive last
fall Melted something like 5000 but
through some mistake the total
amount was sent to the Duluth Chr
ter and the local chapter lost their
share of the fund.
A drive may yet be necessary In
this city and our generous people
should De prepared to meet it when
it comes. We have no idea here OF
the suffering and hardships of the
people of the afflicted areas. The
Miner will receive funds for the Red
Gross and will guarantee to get them
to the proper sources. Due credit
will be given in the paper.
The Auxiliary ladies should be
helped with items of clothing. We
have a suggestion TO make in this
connection. Many of the merchants
of Ely have out-of-date pieces of
clothing, such as underwear, shirts,
shoes, sox, suits and other items in
stock and would be doing an act of
kindness to get these into the hands
of the Auxiliary besides cleaning up
their shelves of unstable items.
