The Ely High School tank squad
lost a closely contested battle to the
strong Gold and Maroon swimming
team in a dual meet held at EVeietn,
saturday, February 18th. The meet
ended with Ely coping one nrst,
three seconds and five thirds, making
the score SO to 16 in favor OF Eveletn.
The 100 yard free style race between
Somrock of Ely and Mattson OF Eve.
leth was the greatest sensation OF
the entire meet. Both swimmers
started of with long plunge. For
80 yards they swan nip and tuck,
neither of them getting the benent
of an extra stroke. Somrock lost
few seconds on a slow turn and push
off but made up for this by putting
his last drop of reserve IN sprint
to the finish. He swan the distance
in one minute, four and four-tentns
seconds.
The local team was handicapped
by the loss of one of its stars, Matt
Luhtanen, who was proclaimed incl
igible to compete in any Of the races
for breaking training rules. Beyond
a doubt he would have been decid-
ing factor in the Gilbert-Ely meet
which will be held in the local swim
ming pool next Saturday.

It is these things that we must con-

reached a stage where many of the
contradictions of capitalism are clear

the self-preservation of capitalist So

of the bourgeois moral code, yet in
order to develop capitalism to its
highest stage, in order to wiring out
as much profit as possible, women

all home ties are split asunder, fam

The home has served its purpose in

School is a
BigSuccess

The first circuit course experiment
attempted by the National Agitprop
Department, with Delbert E. Early as
travelling instructor, is now coming
to close, and is pronounced distinct
success. Comrade Early win now be
sent into other fields.
How Circuit School Works.
Early went up into a district where
very little educational work had been
done and covered the towns of Buff
falo, Niagara Falls, Erie, Syracuse,
Rochester and jamestown, spending
eight weeks in the district, and APP
pearing in each one of these cities
one night week for the entire per-
od of eight weeks. Thus each city
had one or more classes with eight
sessions; some of them had never
been visited by an outside speaker
before and had never had educational
activity Of any sort.
Circuit School Finance.
Out of the small tuition fee charged
and profit on the sale Of literature,
Comrade Early was able to finance all
the expenses of printing and advertis-
ing and running the classes, and the
expense of travelling 500 miles week
in order to cover all of the cities every
week, and his living expenses as well.
The various classes totalled over
100 students, and paid $4,000 in tu-
ition fees. He sold over $4,000
worth of literature, over $500 worth
of subs for the DAILY WORKER,
and took subscriptions for various
party magazines.
More Circuit Schools and Teachers
The system will be extended to
other districts as fast as additional
circuit teachers can be secured or as
soon as Early has finished his work
in the other end of the Buffalo dis
trict.
All districts interested should write
to the National Agitprop Department
of Agitation and Propaganda, also in
dividual comrades who believe that
they are capable of conducting such
work.

Obsolete Customs.
The evolution of society has pro-
duced many customs that persist and
are accepted by the people even after
the system of production in which
they become fixed has long since
passed. In tracing back some of our
ustoms we can find reasonable,
ften logical cause for such a GUS
ON, which cause naturally is OBJ
3cured when the necessity for it is
ong passed. Such is the way that
most of our moral laws are laid down,
and we are told it always was so and

The WrangeI Treaty
In treaty signed by General
Wrangel with the French govern
~ to recognize all the debts CON
tracted by Czarist Russia and the
various municipalities, with the pay
ment of compound interest; (2) to
guarantee the payment of in crest

placing the railways Of European

placing the customs and port duties

quarters Of the output of petroleum

coal output, and (e) establishing

From the terms of this trea' Y it is
quite obvious that in the event of

In the beginning of 1919, about
10000 allied troops were landed in
the district of Odessa, composed of
British, French, Greek, Poles, Rou-
lnsn.ans, ETC., under the united COM
nland Of the French General Dan
selmc. Approximately at the same
eime there were British troops land
-ded in northern Caucasus and in
Central Asia. Japanese, American
and British troops were landed at
Vladivostok and began to develop
operations along the Siberian rail-
way. At that time, the total strength
of the allied troops upon the ter
ritory Of Russia reached 10000, ex-
clusiva Of the troops of Poland, Lat
via, Esthonia, etc. All these forces
had not only enabled the local
courrter-revolutionary forces to orr
.ganize themselves in the fight against
the Soviets, but have also taken active
part and rendered armed assistance.
At the close o. 1919 the ring was
frightened around Soviet Russia. The
country was surrounded on all sides
by enemies armed to their teeth.
Moreover, the Anglo-French fleet
blockaded it's shores, allowing no com
munication with the outside world
and booming the country to starva-
