Y-CLOQUET GAME
WON BY ELY, ia
ELY ADDED A SCALP TO ITS
BELT SUNDAY WHEN CLO-
QUIET WENT DOWN TO DE-
FEAT ON LOP-SIDED SCORE.

The game Sunday between Ely
asd Cloquet was much better than
the score indicates. Johnson, who
pitched for the visitors, only had
two bad innings against him, made
considerably worse - the errors of
his teammates.
Bowers scored for Ely in the first
wheel he drove one to left field for
two bases and scored when the ball
got away from the fielder. Cloquet
took the lead in the fourth when
Hendy was on, on fielders' choice
and took second on an error. NAL
lory walked and both advanced on
a passed ball. Savage popped one
to first and the two men scored on
the throw to home. Ely came back
with five runs in their half of the
fourth as follows: Anthony safe on
an error. L. Canton and Starkman
singled and the bases were filled.
v. Canton's grounder TO second
was muffed and one run crossed the
plate. Boush doubled and two
more Tailed for Ely. Ayala drew
base on balls and Bouski stole
third, and scored on Bowers sacri-
flee fly to left field. Ayala scored
when the left fielder dropped
Chinn's long fly. Cloquet came
right back with two in the fifth. La
Brasser was safe on an error. Meis-
ner singled and both scored on
Kent's double to right center. The
score stood at to a until the 9Th
inning when Ely scored six runs on
Johnson who weakened allowing two
walks and five hits. Anthony
walked, L. Canton singled and
Starkman again laid down perfect
bunt and beat it out, filling the
bases. E. Starkman, new face on
the Ely team, came through with a
screaming three-base drive and
chased three runs in ahead of him.
Bowers singled and Chinn doubled,
giving Ely two more runs. Chinn
scored the last run on an error by
short, making the score IL for Ely
and A for Cloquet.

NEW STATE LEADER
CITES LEGION AIMS
NEW LEGION COMMANDER OUT
LINES SPECIAL AIMS OF OR
GANIZATION DURING COMING
YEAR.

In his statement outlining Mime
sofa Legion aims during his admin
istration, L. E. Zumwinkle Of Fergus
Falls, newly elected department
commander, declares that he will
carry forward the constructive pro-
gram handed down by Past Com
mander Rufus R. Rand, Jr., and
adds:
"The care of disabled comrades
is now in a high state of efficiency.
Always in the past and forever in
the future the primary concern of
the Legion will be for these buddies.
We must continue our unselfish
work in their care and must be
ever watchful that grateful gov
eminent does not become negli-
gent. We must continue our hearty
support of our Minnesota Legion
hospital program Rochester; every
post paying without complaint the
small compulsory hospital dues.
The Gopher Gang is noted for
the high clean spirit of comrade-
ship found within it's ranks. We
play hard and clean. Your new adj
ministration wants to see some of
these efforts of comradeship and
cooperation spent diligently in COM
community service. A Legion post
which does not make its community
a better place in which to live
shou.,. not continue to exist.
"Your commander knows some
thing of the wonderful and unselfish
work of the Legion Auxiliary and
we must continue to give its men,
bers our whole support. They are
doing many things every day which
we cannot do and which our money
cannot employ others to do. A con-
tinued cooperation between these
two great organizations bespeaks
assured success.
almost $4,000 veterans are on
our rolls. We have exceeded our
1926 membership which in turn sur
passed that for 1925. A larger
membership brings more force to
our spoken demand for respect and
recognition for our acts of service.
Our efforts and interest in boy scout
work and baseball must be con-
tinued and enlarged upon. The re-
turns from our investments in the
youth of the state will be beyond
our power to reckon.
"The American Legionnaire, our
official department newspa pc r,
should reach every member in Min
nesota. The officers of each post
should devise some method best
suited for the purpose whereby this
end may be locally attained.
"Our department is undertaking
some new activities among which is
our new conservation program. The
fight to conserve Minneota's many
and varied natural resources has
just begun. We must dedicate our
organization to al expenditure of
energy and money in this direction,
with the hope that now thoughtless
and extravagant public may in the
future become appreciative and saw
ing of these wonderful Gods boun-
ties. This is an activity toward
which Legionnaires may plan many
years of service.
"Among proposed activities is
that relating to Legion life-saving
program to be worked out in con-
junction with the Red Cross. Your
commander has appointed a commit
tee to investigate this project, and
if approved, you vii: be called upon
to lend your support. We must
also foster musical organizations
within the posts and units, detailed
information regarding which you
will receive from our state music

will be followed by other tract own
ers, and will enable lumber interests
to avail themselves of large supplies
of timber and at the same time re-
suit in perpetuating the beauty of
the forests and the wild ruggedness
of the landscape in these sections.
This country, like most of the Ar
rowhead, abounds in natural re-
sources, game, fish and scenery and
any step toward opening it up should
be welcomed by lovers of III, out
doors, the announcement pointed
out.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Some day
Congress will forget to notify the

the government will be in terrible

Thus far, however, despite &C.

says to the president:
"Mr. President, we are q joint
committee Of the Senate and the

Congress has convened and organ

Curtis, "but we're not FULL"
At the end Of each session, the
committee returns and says:
"Mr. President, the Congreas has
concluded its labors and Is prepared
to adjourn If you have no further
communication to make"
And the president replies:
my congratulations on your
work and my compliments to tho
Congress. I have no further COM

This little ceremony takes place 4
half hour before adjournment, 80 It
is just as well that the president
never gums up the machinery by
replying that he has some message
Of importance.
Having announced to the prcsi-
dent the converting Of Congress and
having received his promise Of q

return to their respective houses
and advise them Of the true facts.

The secretary then hands the
message to the assistant doorkeep-

hands it to the presiding officer
and the presiding officer hands Is
to the chief clerk, who reads it as
rapidly and loudly as possible.
Members have copies on their desks.
SO the chief clerk may 20 o. fast
as he likes. Newspapers have also
been supplied with copies Of the
message several days in advance.
The supreme court waits on the
president in a body when it begins
its sessions each year, but there is
less fuss and formality. The prcsi-
dent has no message for the court
and the court gives him Gre lit for
knowing what is going on The
clerk, the marshal and the court
reporter always 60 along and the
court generally invites the attorney
general and the solicitor general.
The court files into the blue room
and after it is in the president enters
and shakes hands with everyone.
There is much pleasant talk about
generalities for Is minutes or less
until the president bids everyone
goodby and the court trundles back
to its duties.
