LOCAL COMMITTEE ARRANGE FOR
RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP. DRIVE

bers will enroll in the United States.
This should not pe hard to do in view
of the efforts put forth by the Red
Cross to be the first of all institutions
to be on the ground in cases of catas-
trophies, disasters and relief, both ma
tional and international.
The Arrowhead Country should re-
member the Red Gross with feelings
of thanksgiving. Ten years ago we
were stricken with forest fire in
which hundreds were burned to death,
thousands were left homeless and
property worth millions of dollars was
destroyed.
Almost before we here in Ely knew
of the disaster $4,000 from the Amer
lean Red Gross was in the hands of
the Duluth Chapter, making it posi-
BILE to meet the most immediate needs.
Before the needs of this disaster were
met, $1,600,OO0 had been paid out.
When the PapSt mine disaster took
place at Ironwood two years ago, it was
the Red Gross which rushed relief
to the scene. 1t has stood ready to
help since wherever the need arose.
Never a year has passed but what
calamity has hit some section of the
ways on the job at once.
During the past year the American
Red Cross provided relief in % foreign
disasters, furnishing food, clothing,
shelter and medical aid to 100000 per-
sons In 66 disasters during the year
in this country the Red Gross aided
1,250OOO persons. Of this number
100000 were cared for in the West
Indies and Florida after the recent
hurricane. In addition to disaster
which are liable to, happen at any
moment, increased funds are needed
for the aid of World War veterans.
The meeting last evening at the
Community Center was attend by rep
reSentativeS of all society and civic
groups in the city. A temporary Or
ganization was named composed of
Chas. Trezona chairman; Mrs. A. j..
McMahan secretary and Mrs. 0. w.

IOWA EASES WAY
FOR THAT ELY TRIP

Iowa voters at the election last week
approved the $l00000,000 highway
bond issue by vote of more than two
to one. This will give Iowa a COM
plete system of 4,933 miles of paving
and 1872 miles of gravel, connecting
the gaps in pavementS started with
county bond issues, providing nine
east and west pavementS across the
state and as many north and south.
Five Iowa highway will be paved to
the Minnesota line, namely;
u. S. SIS, Dubuque through DEBORAH,
connecting with Minnesota No. 20,
south of Preston.
U. S. 218, through Waterloo and
Charles City, connecting with Mime
sofa No. 40 south of Austin.
U. S. IS, through Des Moines and
Mason City, connecting with Mime
sofa No. l south of Albert Lea.
U. S II, through Storm Lake and
Spencer, connecting with Minnesota
No south of Jackson.
U. S. rs, Council Bluffs through
Sioux City, connecting with Minnesota
No. south of Luverne.
Three other north and south high
ways will be paved to junction with
LIE paved highway WIuCA Will Iui1
east and west through the northern
tier of counties close to the Minnesota
line. This paved highway will run
through DEBORAH, Usage, Manley, For
est City, Estherville and Rock Rapids.
What effect will the Iowa program
have on Minnesota? Undoubtedly the
north and south pavements through
the Hawkeye state will bring many
travellers to Minnesota, but this will
be partly Offset by the tendency to
take advantage of the east and west
pavements through Iowa.
Another question is, when will Min
nesota meet the Iowa pavements at
the state line? Pavement on No. l
ends at the Steele Freedom county
line, about 80 miles from the Iowa
line, and this route is being graded in
Freeborn county preliminary to paving.
On the other routes paving is still far
off, unless the Minnesota legislature
should find some means of increasing
the construction funds of the Mime
sofa Highway department.

ELY AIR PORT
ASSURED BY
COUNTY BOARD

The committee composed of Mayor
Murphy, Ray Hoef1er, Peter Schaefer
and j. A. Rothman which appeared be-
fore the County Commissioners at a
meeting held two months ago to urge
the establishment of an airport in Ely,
were notified yesterday that the board
had included $4,000 in the budget for
airports of which Ely will be allotted
$4,000. Other allotments made for
the same purpose are $1,000 for Evel-
eth, $4,000 for Virginia, $4,000 for Hib-
bling and $1,000 for Proctor
The county budget was decreased,
the budget calling for a rate of 1859
mills or a .121 mills reduction under
the rate of last year. The big reduc-
ton was made in the special road and
bridge fund which was fixed at 81 ,952,-
600. The 1923 budget for this purpose
was $2,199,587.02. 1t had been rumored
that the road and bridge fund would
be increased by about $250,00 Wheth-
er the reduction in this fund will ham
per the upkeep of county roads or
cause a big deficit next year could not
be aScertained. A deficit is likely to
occur as this year with the appropria-
tions about $250,000 more than next
year, several districts ran short of
funds for the upkeep of county roads
and had to borrow necessary funds
from special project funds and other
districts to be paid back from the 1929
appropriations to their districts
The biggest increase was in the
general revenue fund for which ST.
OIL ,031.32 was appropriated as compar-
ed to $905, 303.63 levied for this year.
This increase is due to appropriation
of $4,000 for airports and $4,000 to
start fund to pay claims of $275, 900
made by the city for care of county
contagious disease patients.
The board did did not distribute
funds for road purposes for the seven
county commissioners districts. This
will be done next January when the
new board takes office. The follow
ing sums were set aside for special
projects: SOS, 900, North Line road paw
ing; $4,000, Miller Trunk Central en-
trance paving; $4,000 for state aid
roads, and 100000 for paving of high
way No. from Virginia to Tower.

LegionnaireS of MinneSota).

CA message from Paul " McNutt, Lee
gion National Commander, to the
Legionnaires of Minnesota).
1t is a distinct pleasure for me to
send you this greeting through the
courtesy of your local newspaper and
to tell you as briefly as I can the
great opportunities ahead of us the
coming year for American Legion SER
vice.
First and most important is the re-
Mobilization of the disabled. We must
improve and expedite this service. Sec
phan and for the dependent children
of the disabled, promoting to our ut
most improved legislation for child
welfare. We must see that existing leg
iSlation is carried out. This requires
Ond comes child welfare. We must
make adequate provisions for the or
attention.
Next is Americanism and the adj
vancement of our junior Legion base
ball program. We must improve the
quality of American citizenship To
accomplish this the Legion proposes
besides national athletic program for
children, more universal public educa-
ton, more concentrated Boy Scott
program, education of the adult foreign
born, continued community service,
and an awakened national conscious
ness of all citizens to their duties as
Americans.
National defense must ever receive
our vigilance. Our national forces must
be sufficient to be protective. There
can be no armistice with those who
would destroy this nation or render it
helpless. With world conditions as
they are today it is imperative that
this nation have an adequate national
defense, not as gesture but as prac-
teal means of preserving the national
integrity and protecting the instltu-
tions under which we have grown
great.
With full confidence that every Min
neSota Legionnaire will give his per-
sonal attention to these maJo, sub
jects so vital to the welfare of Our COM
radeS, communities and country. your
national commander faces 1929, sure
that success will crown our efforts.
This is great work. Let us give the
best that is in us.

Most OF the other shops arc using
the same tactics. The Hoovcrs are
sufficiently we'll known in Washing
ton for the shops to know that the
approach simply cannot be through
graft or bribery Queen Marie might
accept a set of hand engraved toilet
receptacles filled with certain
brand OF toilet preparations and per-
nit the manufacturer to say that she
used them exclusively. But this
would only antagonize Mrs. Hoover.
A friend may be able to persuade
her that as First Lady she must de-
vote more time TO the business OF be-
ing beautiful. and If she is SO per-
suaded she will naturally go to the
shop which her friend recommends.
The winning place will be the one
with the customers nearest to the
coveted customer.
No outsider can appreciate the cory
battle which not only beauty shops,
but local dressmaking establishments.
arc waging to get the First Ladys
trade.
It is not generally known that the
secret service forbidS the commercial
exploitation of either the president or
his wife No store may advertise the
fact publicly that it serves the occu-
pants of the White House. But these
is no law against word of mouth adj

There is no law which forbids the
hanging Of pictures of the First Lady
about the shop. Probably such pic
lures will be autographed, for If a
First Lady likes her work, and the
shop will see to it that she gets all
that the market affords, she'll not be
chary with her favors.
Autographed pictures bring forth
comments from other customers, and
the casual yes we do her hair every
Wednesday" means quadrupled BUSH
ness-even if nothing but the sort
brought by curiosity and hope to see
the First Lady with her hair sopping
wet and looking like drowned mon
goose.
Tactics subtle and tactics crude are
used. The Hoover mail box has been
flooded with commercial requests that
such and such shop be permitted to
supply a complete White House trous-
seau, the inaugural gown, a years
! wardrobe. etc.
It is openly said that Mrs. Hoover
decided to 60 to South America when
this deluge began, hoping that the
fight might have simmered down a
| little upon her return.
