STAR CARERS MAY LOOK FOR COMET
PonS. WinnAe Celestial Visitor
 Due Tonight

New York. June 22 R-Star. gazers on the watch tonight for the Pons-Winnecke comet should be or the lookout for small patch of H. luminated fog" visible an hour after sundown in northeastern sky mid way between the horizon and the zenith.
 Unlike the layman's general idea of comet, the new celestial visitor will not be difficult to distinguish if the night is clear.
 The comet will lie near Vega, the cnly first magnitude star in that part of the heavens.
 Cambridge. Mass, June 22 R- The amateur astronomer who searches the heavens for the Pons- Winnecke comet, visible from now to the end of this month, will find it leading him a lively chase from night to night. It will appear tonight and tomorrow night on the constellation Lyra. After that here Is it schedule of constellations:
 June 24, Cygnus: 25, Vulpecula; 26. Delphinus: 27. Equleus: zS, Aquarius; 29, Capricornus, and 30, back in Aquarius.
 New York, June 22 R-After a celestial cruise of almost six years, the Pons- -Winnecke comet has ar rived at a trysting place 3,500,000 miles away to keep its date with mother earth.
 For the first time since its discov- cry in 1919 the comet will be visible to the naked eye. Not since 1910. when Halley's comet made its cele- brated appearance, has such body been in range of the unaided eye.
 ns-Winnecke will remain in sight of earth until July 1 when it will vanish into the heavens to be gone another five years and eight months. It will make its nearest ap- proach to the earth Sunday.
 Although its impending visit will bring the comet nearer the earth than ever before, it will stili be about fourteen and a half times as far away as the moon.
 Only once before in history has 8 comet been closer to earth, and that was in 177O, when Lexels comet came within 1.400,0 900 miles, only six times the distance of the moon.
 At that time astronomers hardly dared to leave their telescopes fear ing that the comet might collide with part of the system of Jupiter. How ever, nothing happened although the comet traversed orbits of Jupiters' four small moons from end to end.
 Whn the earth last saw Pons-Win- necke in June. 1921, 1t was between 3.000,0O0 and 14,000,00o miles in the sky. Through five inch tele- scope 1t looked only like an ordi- nary star of eighth magnitude ex- cept for a haze that encircled it.
 The comet was discovered by the French astronomer Pons and was not seen again until 1858 when the Ger man astronomer WinnecKe detected it.

Grain Market

CHICAGO, Feb. 21 R-Increase of
United States visible stocks of wheat
and of world supplies afloat had a
bearish effect on the wheat market
today Wheat closed Is TO u cents
net lower, corn Il to 3s cents down,
oats a to 3s cents off and provisions
showing 10 to II cents declines.
Aside from evidence of increasing
supplies, a good deal of the bearish
sentiment which was noted today in
the wheat trade was associated with
statement that one of the leading
operators here had suggested likeli-
hood of wheat selling again below
$1.O0 bushel.
The purported interview, however,
was later flatly denied by the supposed
author. BY that time, however, the
domestic visible supply figures had
become a dominating factor, and led
to further selling.
Announcement that world shipments
of wheat for the last week were about
1000, 900 bushels less than for the prev
ious week failed to check the down.
ward trend of the wheat market. One
of the contributing reasons for weak
ness was the fact that premiums for
cash wheat at the Gulf of Mexico are
the lowest on the crop, with number
2 hard quoted at cents over May,
u cent lower that Saturday. On the
other hand, receipts of wheat south
west are showing a gradual falling
off in volume. Talk was current, how
ever, that growing weather shortly
might tend to emphasize a satisfactory
crop outlook for domestic winter
wheat. Enlargement of the corn Wis
ible supply total had a depressing in
fluence ,on the corn market. Low
grades of cash corn were saleable only
at the biggest discounts on the crop.
Oats dragged lower with corn.
Provisions were responsive to down.

The American Smelling & Refining
Of this metal in the United States,
has announced that before the end
of February it's operations will be
lowered between % and 5 per cent.
1T is bought that the average for the
mines of North America will be about
10 per cent by the end of the month.
There has been no change in the
lead. price, and all classes of buyers
have been in the market, which
indicates that they must consider the
present price as the bottom of the
market The condition in lead now
is that it would take but little
exceptional buying to start a price
increase.
Zinc has been quite the opposite
of the activity of lead and copper
buying, as the sales have been un-
usually slow, no price movement and
an awaiting as to news of the extent
of the production cutting in the
Joplin district January statistics on
zinc looked good for the buyers, but
February statistics with curtailed pro-
duction will probably make a better
looking market for the sellers
The zinc surplus in the United
States increased about 5000 tons dur
ing January jumping from 21,S87
tons at the end of December to
2S,912 tons at the end of January.
Silver did not stay up to the so
cent mark long, as India and China
started to sell some of their metal
and it broke the price, so that silver
is lowering between 56 and 81 cents
with but a nominal demand. The
drop in price brought some immediate
sales, but not in volume to give the
price strength.
There is the general, feeling that
business during 1927 is not going to
be as good as in 1926, and there are
several good reasons for this feeling,
but, on the other hand, there are
just as good reasons why business
should maintain it's 1926 high level,
and the metal industries participate
more in the good reasons than they
do in the others.

VIRGINIA LEGION DRUM
CORPS MOULIN ROUGE

The third annual Moulin Rouge of
the Virginia Legion Drum and Bugle
Corps has been set for Friday, Sep
TENDER 9. The affair will be staged
on even more elaborate lines than
in the past and will prove the big
gest social event of the season is the
prediction. Delegations from this
city always attend this affair.
In line with the policy of the
corps to obtain only the highest type
of musical organization and enter
tainment, efforts are being made to
book the original Coon Sanders
Nighthawks orchestra for the cab
aret. Other Orpheum and Keith
circuit vaudeville acts will be OBJ
tanned, it is announced.
Reservations will be placed on
sale this week and can be obtained
from Irving Erickson at the Grande
company, or from William burke
at the State bank. No invitations
will be issued this year and the af
fair will be open to the general pub
lie. Those desiring well located
tables are urged to make their
reservations early.
AS in the past, great effort will
be made to decorate the huge arena
in novel fashion and the plan is to
make the room resemble as nearly
as possible the original Moulin Rouge
caberet of Paris, with the huge IL
Illuminated Red Mill grinding away
throughout the festivities.

AVOID CONGESTION;
BULLETIN TELLS HOW

How can we avoid going through
the congested districts in the Twin
Cities? This question is often
asked by motorists in Ely, especially
during State Fair week. A bulletin
from the state highway department
gives several suggestions which may
be helpful, The routes suggested,
says the bulletin, are in some cases
longer and In some cases shorter
Lnan going through the st. Paul or
Minneapolis downtown districts, but
they save you from going through
the heaviest traffic. The route ap-
plicable from this end states that
motorists coming from the north on
Trunk Highway No. 1 may take No.
60 at White Bear, and those COM
ing on No. 8 or No. 5 take No. 62,
from Anoka through New Brighton.
Both 62 and 63 go directly to the
fair grounds.

ORDER PYROTOL EARLY
MAKE SURE OF SUPPLY

Orders for Ian delivery of pyrotol
should be sent as soon as possible
to the division of agricultural en-
cheering at University Farm. ST..
Paul. The allotment made to Min
nesota by the bureau of public r. ads
at Washington for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1928, is now short
of one million pounds. In state
possessing such an extended cu.over
area all the low priced government
explosive available can be used to
great advantage. Furthermore, says
A. j. Schwantes, of the land clearing
section of the university. it is ute
likely that a re-allotment by coun-
ties will be made so as to make sure
that Minnesota gets all the pyrotol
the government has apportioned it.
Prices have not been .changed-$7

LOCAL BOYS HAVE FINE
TIME AT TRAINING CAMP

The six Ely young men who were
enrolled in the Citizens Military
Training Camp at Fort Smelling
during the past month, have re-
turned and are loud in their praises
of this free training in athletics and
military tactics given yearly by
Uncle Sam.
The boys who attended the camp
were Louis Somrok, Waino Thomp-
son, Raino Koski, Lauren Leino,
Jack Meittunen and Henry Harri.
The strict discipline and clean
sports have done wonders for the
young men who attend these camps.
Our boys feel that they have put
in thirty very fine days and thirty
days which have made better men
of them in every way. All the Ely
contingent along with nearly the
camp registration acted as special
guards during the Lindbergh recep-
ton in the Twin Cities last week.

Tickets for Games Going Fast

Football tickets at Minnesota have
been selling approximately four
times as fast as they did a year ago,
according to an announcement by
Leslie Schroeder, senior law student
and assistant manager of ticket
sales. The demand for season books
covering the five home games, is
by all odds the heaviest in the his
tory of the university, he said. Min
nesota will play North Dakota t
home October 1, Oklahoma Aggies,
October 8; Iowa, October %; Wis
consin, October 20 and Drake, No
vember IL. Purchasers of season
books get first preference in loca-
ton of seat and do not need TO
bother with obtaining individual
seats for the different games. The
prospects are that Minnesota will
have one of the strongest teams in
it's history.

DELINQUENT TAX
CITATIONS LISTED
PERSONAL PROPERTY DELIN.
QUENT TAXES HAVE BEEN
TURN OVER TO THE
SHERIFF FOR COLLECTION
1900 ON THE LIST.

More than 1900 persons Of st.
Louis county against whom per-
sonal property taxes for 1925,
amounting to more than SIS, 900,
have been assessed, have been re-
ported as mot found" by Sheriff
Frank L. Magic. Citations for nom
payment of the tax will be served.
beginning last Tuesday.
This was made known Friday
morning with the filing of names
of persons against whom the cita-
tions will be made, with j. P. john
son, clerk of the district court.
Although Sheriff Magic collected
approximately $4,000 of the de-
linquent personal property tax since
the time limit on payment expired
March 1,there are more than 1900
persons in the county who were not
located by the authorities.
According to the state law, fol-
lowing the failure of the sheriff to
find the parties against whom the
assessment is made, citations are
entered in district court against
those who have not paid the tax.
The citation orders the person to
appear in court Nov. 2 to show
cause why the tax should not be
paid. On failure of the person to
appear in court, judgment will be
entered against the delinquents.
The judgment will cover the tax,
penalty and costs.
The number of delinquent tax
payers will be less than two per-
cent according to George Pearce,
chief deputy county treasurer. Pay
ment of total of $500, 365.29 de-
linquent personal and real estate
taxes was made last year, "a per
cent if the total amount of taxes
paid, according to Mr.. Pearce. The
total personal and real estate tax
paid to the county last year was
$23, 442, 978.65. The percentage of
delinquents in former years was
less than 2 per cent, Mr.. Pearce
said.
