SPEED AND ACCURACY WIN
MACHINE FOR ELY BOY

George Matesha, a student in the
Senior class of the local high school,
has been awarded a Remington Port
able Typewriter as an award for writ
ing at the rate of IS words a minute
for a period of fifteen minutes without
error.
The typewriter was received from
n Duluth office and presented to
George at the general assembly on
Wednesday morning. A letter from
Mr.. H. c. Spillman, Educational Di-
ector OF the Remington Typewriter
Division reads in part as follows:
Mr.. Matesha's paper is a beautiful
one, both from the standpoint of touch
n general appearance, and reflects
credit not only upon the young man
n the machine, but upon the princi-
paA OF the school, the typewriting
teacher. and all of those in any a

connected with the Memorial High
School.
You will share the sentiments of
this letter with the young man and
with all the teachers of your school
who had anything to do with inspiring
and directing the young mar in his
work"
To win a portable machine is an I'M
usual achievement, due to the fact that
the writing must be perfect and the
speed must not be less than IS words.
In May, 1927, there were only twenty
four persons throughout the United
States who were winners of portable
machines. Of this number, two were
from Minnesota.
George has proven himself a credit
to our local high school. His success
is due to his perseverance and ambi-
ton to be a winner. In addition to
the portable machine he has won sew
eral other awards such as bronze, sill
e and gold pins and an Eversharp
pencil for writing 20 words per minute
for fifteen minutes.

to the Republican national convention
at Kansas City as a political and not
agricultural move. 1t appears very
much as if he was right. The dele
gates to the convention, and the only
one who have a say in the matter,
were elected by the conventions of 48
states of the Union and not by a mass
meeting of people in the central west.
How the grand march will get into the
convention hall is a mystery and what
they will do there in cas- they do get
in without a voice in the nominations
is a further conundrum. 1t is said
that 100000 farmers have been or
ganized for the march and the demon
stration at Kansas City. The chief
organizer is William Hirth, a lifelong
radical Democrat according to Repre-
sentative Robson. He also states that
there is only one farmer in the entire
list of leaders staging the demonstra-
ton and that the list is composed of
seven lawyers, two contractors, one
newspaper man, n oil producer, one
orchardist and two of unknown busl-
ness.
President Lotus d. Coffman of the
University of Minnesota and a party
OF educators are going to Russia this
summer to see if it is all true. Hun
dreds have been there and some found
it so and some didn't.
One of these days someone is going
to leave a summer cabin where he
has committed some dirty piece of van
dalism with a charge of fine shot in
south end of a body travelling north.
The summer home people are getting
fed up on a lot of half baked pups"
who destroy and befoul property and
carry away what they do not destroy.
Several of these are known and it only
remains to catch them in the act.
Complaints this spring are far in ex-
cess of last year and last year they
were in excess of the year before. We
are spending a mint of money trying
to get people to locate and build homes
on our lake shore property and then
along comes some vandal and knocks
the whole thing into a cooked hat. AS
we said before, some one is going to
get his seat plastered with fine shot
and we don't mea maybe. We know
of a dozen places where a shot gun
decorateS the mantel.

ton regarding this only remaining
wilderness and country Of
America. 1t may not be possible to
change planned schedules, but a pre-
concerted try participated in by all
the towns in the range country and
Duluth, would do no harm. 1t may be
possible and should it come to pass,
tracing attention to this peerless out
ing and mining country. Besides the
president, being a real man, might
want to indulge in some real big fish
fishing. We have it and this section
would be more than pleased to act
as host.
Again we beg to differ. The M. E.
Convention at Kansas City voiced Wig
orous opposition to military training
in schools and universities and adopt
ed a resolution to this effect on a vote
of 4 to l. The issue is not one of
war as the good people tried to make
us believe when they quoted figures to
show that during 1925, ten million dol
lars were spent and 1909 officers and
soldiers were employed in military
training. The editor of this paper be-
lieves that the strict discipline of mill
tary training is good for the physically
able young man. We also believe that
this kind of training makes for peace
and not a Preparedness is a great
preventer of wars as no nation is
anxious to pick a scrap with another
nation that is better prepared than it.
The psychology of the thing is plain.
Some little man is not going to pick
a scrap with a powerful six-footer.
These big fellows are prepared. The
same rule applies for a nation. Pre-
paredness is a peace measure and not
q war measure. This is only our indi-
vidual opinion and we may be wrong
and the N. E. Convention with several
thousand good people may be right.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion and
being a free country everyone is en-
titled to the privilege of expressing
his opinion-right out in public.
What a big hip-hurrah is being
made over election expense contribu-
lions for favorite candidates. The
hundred thousand dollar donations
made by the millionaire friends of
candidates mean nothing more than
the enc or two dollar cash or days
campaign work done by the smaller
fry, such as you and I, and does not
mean that the officer elect will favor
the contributors individually because
OF the contributions in his behalf.
In fact, he is not aware Of the money
and time put forth by the contributor.
When 1900 men and women in the
State OF Minnesota put up their own
expenses to go to a convention for
the purpose of naming delegates to a
national convention to nominate their
favorite candidate, it goes to show
that a large per cent of the voters
have an interest in who is to represent
them in the high offices. Campaign ,
contributions mean absolutely moth
ing more than enthusiasm for some
particular candidate or party and that
the contributor is willing to help a
good thing along.

you. They play the game of put and
take" only they never put. Be for
Ely, first, last and all the time and
your efforts will be rewarded by re-
turning to you a thousandfold your
small outlay and loyalty in making OF
your home town a better place to live
and in which to do business. Try it
awhile.
Senator Irving Lenroot of Wisconsin
certainly did a stroke of business when
&c secured the summer White House
and the seat of government of the
United States for Brule, 80 miles out
from Superior. Without a brass band,
a press agent or any noise whatever,
the Senator made his plans and silent
ly went ahead in their fulfllment.
President Coolidge admired the meth
DDS of the senator and also was very
much impressed with the prospects of
making his summe home on the
Pierce estate. Nothing was said about
the whole affair until a few days ago
when it was publicly announced and
since that time everybody has been
busy. Some are congratulating Wis
conSin in general and Superior in
particular for securing the nations
capitol for the summer Others are
tearing their hair and crying over
spilled milk. Others again, are try
ing to get In on the luck that has
come to the upper Wisconsin on the
fringe of the Arrowhead Country Of
Minnesota and are assisting in every
way possible to help Brule, Superior
and the other towns in making the
stay Of the president a pleasant one.
This is n of the biggest things that
has come to the northwest. The tour
list influx as a result will be worth
millions to Superior, Duluth and the
surrounding country. After one visit
the tourist will not be content until
he comes again. Such is the attrac-
ton Of his North and the Arrowhead
in particular. The range towns can
capitalize on this immense amount of
publicity and should get busy and in
vite and try and induce President and
Mrs. Coolidge with their entourge to
make a swing through the iron ore
district where world wonders are to
be seen and then through Ely and the
Superior National Forest over the Ely
Finland Scenic Highway to Lake Su-
perior and back to the summer capt.

lance Of the Superior National Forest,
