It's Importance as recreation for both

Monday afternoon the ladies of
Ely were guests of honor at the

the northwest with four beautiful
billiard tables and two bowling al
leys.

striking appearance with the green
broadcloth of the billiard tables.

explained the technique of the game.
the value of the worries and the prop

The game was doubly interesting
due to the fact that Elmer Lind
beck, one of Ely's best billiard play-
ers, was the Masked Marvel's' op-
ponent.
Following the game a demonstra-
ton of several very difficult shots
were made by the Marvel showing
his ability as the master of the cue

Harry Wheelock in his Fergus
Falls Tribune had an excellent ed
itorial last week on the good being
accomplished by the publicity cir
culated by the publication of the
personal property tax lists In the
towns of the state and claims that
these publications have brought out
many hidden tax dollars to all towns
and cities wherein the list has been
published. We agree with Harry
that the cost of publishing has been
repaid many fold and that the tax
paying public is not so prone to
hide their tax values from their
neighbors if brought into the gla !.
of the open, as they were befor,
these publications were required.
But. There is 'but" in this. The
law was so fixed that the three big
gest tax-paying counties in the state,
Ramsey, Hennepin and st. Louis,
with all their municipal subdivisions
were exempted from the provisions
of this publicity law. We don't in
fer that there are personal property
tax dodgers in these counties but
there are chances and you know
there are always people willing to
take a chance.

score by placing high in the next
two events and then jumped into the
lead for a short while. From then

in Gilbert's favor, with the outcome
of the meet hanging on the result
of the last event. This was won by
Gilbert after tough battle and it
boosted their score to SO while Ely's
remained unchanged. Ely could
have splashed defeat all over Gilbert
