ficient light to render clearly dis

JUNIORS HAVE MUCH AT
STAKE AT STOCK SHOW

These are busy anxious times for
nearly 500 All club juniors who
will exhibit baby beeves, fat bar
rows, fat lambs, and pens of poultry
at the Junior Livestock Show to be
held at South st. Paul November z
to 10 inclusive. Their animals or
birds have won in many county con-
tests and they are now preparing
them for the annual state contest.
Every junior is assured of prize
sufficient to pay the transportation
charges of calf, pig or lamb. Their
own travelling expenses are paid
by the management of the show
out of funds subscribed by Twin
City business men. Winners at the
Junior Livestock show are always
awarded trips to the International
Livestock show in Chicago. Then
there is always the chance that they
will profit largely by the public auc-
ton the final day. No wonder,
therefore, that 500 juniors ON the
farms are excited over the prospect.
Exceptional high prices are paid
each year for the juniors stock.
The champion lamb in 1925 sold for
S4.75 a pound. Prize winning baby
beef and pigs have been bid in for
$1.20 to $1.40 a pound, and the
champion pen of poultry for $1.30
pound.

LEGION DUES
REMAIN SAME
LEGION NATIONAL DUES IN
CREASE, AS RECOMMENDED
IN PARIS, COUNTERMANDED;
THEY REMAIN 81 PER YEAR
AS HERETOFORE.

For years that portion of the an
nual dues paid by members of the
American Legion to their local
posts, has included 81 as the ma
tional share; and for this 81 dollar
the member received each month
a copy of the American Legion
Monthly, the official national Legion
magazine. full of stories, construct
I'VE articles, etc.
Because it was desired by Legion
National headquarters to expand
This magazine, making it bigger, the
request was made that the national
share of each members dues be in
creased to SIPS per year. This re-
quest the Paris delegates granted,
and Minnesota post officers began
collecting S1.25' instead of 81 as
the national per capita.
But a clause of the Legion con-
stitution says that all national con-
vention actions taken outside OF
America must be ratified in the
United States. So on October 10
10, 1927, delegates from each state
met at New York for this purpose.
evidently they did not deem the in
crease In national dues wise, for on
October 18th there arrived at the
Minnesota Legion state headquart-
ers, st. Paul, the following tele-
gram;
LEGION NATIONAL DUES RE-
MAIN ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR
GIVE PUBLICITY"
This wire is from L. E. Zum-
Wrinkle of Pelican Rapids, Minnesota
Legion state commander, attending.
the New York ratification meeting.
Because Paris press reports previ-
ously announced the contemplated
national dues increase, now re-
cinded, the Minnesota Legion COM
mander is anxious that the Gopher
Legion Gang" learn of this action
without delay. The extra 25c al
ready collected from Legionnaires
who have paid their 1928 dues, will
be refunded, Commander Zumwinkle
states. According to the revised
Legion constitution, the membership

stead of January 1, 1928.

YOUTH CLAIMS ITS PART
IN ARMISTICE DAY SPIRIT

"Let youth help shape the world
while the Vision Splendid is still
before its eyes"
That is the watchword of the
Junior Red Cross and it forms an
appropriate link between Armistice
Day and the opening of the annual
Red Cross membership roll call,
For the essential spirit of Armistice
Day is more than note Of rejoic-
ing when a great war ended and
of tender memory for Americas
heroic dead-it is the spirit which
yet will bring about peace between
the nations and youth will have
much to do with accomplishing that
end.
There is an interesting feature
article on this theme In this issue
of The Miner. Be sure to read can

Scott Watson, elsewhere in this
paper.

building must have convenient
entrance and exit. It must have q
level floor and must have sufficient
space so that the testing screen
can be placed 25 feet from the head
lamps. The station must have an
adequate supply of tools for ad-
justing, cleaning polishing and re-
pairing lamps.
The station must have qualified
lamp adjuster on duty. He must
be :. person over 81, with least
two years experience in automo-
i've repair work or equivalent, and
must pass an examination in a
school designated for the training
of such adjusters. The Dunwoody
Institute at Minneapolis has been
selected to train lamp adjusters, but
additional schools may be desig-
mated.
The maximum fees permitted at
officially designated stations are so
cents for normal testing of head
lights and rs cents for normal test
ing, cleaning, focusing and aiming
a pair of headlights. This includes
issuing a certificate that the lamps
nave been tested and approved. A
person arrested on a charge of
having improperly adjusted lights
shall be given AZ hours to have them
properly adjusted, and the law says
it shall be a defense to such charge
if he produces certificate that the
lamps have been adjusted within AZ
hours.
No action has been taken yet by
Mr.. Babcock under VAC section of
the law giving the commissioner the
power to fix the amount of light.
Enforcement of the law against
improper lights is left entirely in
the hands of local authorities.

FOOTBALL
(By William Coombe.)

The biggest score ever hung up
in the history of Ely football was
made Friday against the Tower
team.
The game opened with Tower re-
ceiving the ball on the kickoff. The
first four times that they carried
the ball they made first down. 1t
looked as though Ely were going
to have real battle. They only
made two more first downs the
whole game. Blair made the first
touch down of the game by an end
run. The Ely team made touch
downs almost at will. The first
quarter ended with the score 800
in Ely's favor. The second quarter
was the same kind of a game, Ely
scoring almost on every play. All
the subs were used in this period
and some showed up well, including
G. Nicholas and NJ, Zgane, Each
seemed to have the game well in
mind. The score at the end Of the
first half was ALTO in cur favor.
The first team was put back in play
the second half and had the Tower
boys puzzled by their plays. Blair
made another long run for touch
down on one of the fake plays. The
subs were put in again. Had they
not been put in, the score would
have been larger. At the end of
the third period the score was 60.
The last quarter found tn. Ely Sec
ond string men scoring almost as
readily as the first team. The Ely
team was not forced to pr Mt at all
during tbs game. While Tower
had to punt on every last down.
The Ely boys always had the ball
in Towers half of the field.
Blair was out in front in the scor-
ing with four touchdowns. Gouze
was next with three; A. Hill and C.
Merhar each having two. M. Zgonc,
L. Zgonc, and Smrekar had one
each.
Tomorrow the Ely bays GO to
Gilbert and hope to return with a
win.
