ed Wednesday and we fail to note any
Ely name on the list. From this we
infer that Ely, Tower or the Vermilion
Range are not sufficiently interested
to place a candidate in the field. You
can hardly blame them at that. No
sooner does a fellow get into politics
but he at once becomes the target for
mud--slingers and he finds himself
more kinds of direputable character
than Heinz has pickles. Those who
have filed are seven in number. A. E..
Hill of Virginia who announced him
self as a candidate and who represent
ed the district at the last session with
drew at the last minute and j. Carver
Richards filed for the place. The can
didates now are j. Carver Richards

Mark Nolan of Gilbert; G. r. Rhodes
of Virginia; L. w. Wilson, incumbent,
of Aurora; Carl G. Ranta of Aurora

POOR SPRING ROADS.
CAUSE HEAVY Loss.
HIGHWAYS MUCH IMPROVED,
BUT IMPASSABLE SEASONS
WILL RETURN, SAYS BABCOCK
ST. LOUIS COUNTY NOT SERI-
OUSLY AFFECTED.

Trunk Highways in st. Louis and
other counties in Minnesota have re-
turned to somewhere near normal in
the last two weeks. The maintenance
men have been busy and the sun and
wind have dried the surface material.
While some stretches are not yet safe
for heavy loads, and prolonged rains
may make trouble here and there, mo-
florists can begin to plan trips without
undue worry over road conditions.
While riding on good roads this
summer, car owners should not forget
that periods of impossible roads will
come periodically until all roads are
made adequate to the modern traffic.
The extra wear and tear on cars and
tires and the waste of motor fuel due
to poor roads during the last six
weeks, Commissioner G. M. Babcock
points out, would be enough to i'm
prove many hundreds of miles Of
highways. Add to this the loss by de-

THE STORY OF A SONG WHICH
HELPED HEAL WOUNDS OF, WAR.

Everyone is familiar with the story
of how a. kindly act of group of
southern women who decorated the
graves of Union soldiers in their town
soon after the Civil war led to the
establishment of Memorial day but
how many know of the song written
by young New York lawyer which
played such an important part in
healing the wounds of the War Be-
tween the States2 And how many
know what an important part sol
diers' organization, the G. A. r..
played in making the observance OF
Memorial day nationwide?
AS Memorial day approaches, you
should know about these facts and if
you will read the illustrated feature
article "In Memoriam," by Elmo Scott
Watson in this issue of The Miner
you will know them and can tell your
children the inspiring story which
they suggest Look for this article in

MUCH INTEREST IN THE
ARROWHEAD CHICAGO DISPLAY.

Unusual interest is being manifest
in the display of the Minnesota
Arrowhead association at the sixth an
nual outdoor life exposition and mo-
tor boat show which opened at the
Coliseum in Chicago and at which
James Moonan. Jos. Pluth and Harri-
son Sletten from this city are in
charge of the Ely exhibit.
The Arrowhead display occupies
four booths at the exposition and con-
sists, chiefly, of Illuminated pictures
on a huge panel of nu-wood, pro-
duct made out of waste wood by the
Wood Conversion company of Cloquet.
At the Monday afternoon opening,
James Moonan broadcast a short talk
on the beauties of the Arrowhead
country and particularly Ely over Sta
ton WGN. His message was about
as follows:
You are all invited to come to the
Minnesota Arrowhead country for
your vacation. Come and enjoy the
lakes.
when the Almighty was making
Lake Superior, the greatest body of
fresh water in the world, he had so
much left over that he sprinkled 10000
lakes up and down the wooded country
of Minnesota, putting the largest nub-
Der in the northwestern part of the
state which we call the Arrowhead.
Lakes with rocky shores covered
with pine and spruce, lakes with sandy
bottoms, fringed with pine and birch.
The most delightful lakes. The most
enhancing network of woods and
water ever enjoyed by a grateful peo-
Pile. Come and see them"

lay in marketing farm products and in
obtaining needed merchandise and
supplies, and the cost of bad roads
during the spring breakup run into
hundreds of thousands Of dollars, per-
haps millions.
"The automobile is no longer a
pleasure vehicle says Mr.. iBabcock.
1T is part of the daily life of every
citizen, for even if he does not use it
in his own business, he is dependent
upon it to deliver what he buys or sells.
But we cannot; expect to. use it eleven
months in the year and fall back on
other modes of transportation for a
month every spring. To keep suftic-
lent railroad cars, horses and wagons
in reserve to handle the business every
spring and let them stand idle the
rest of the year is most uneconomical
Either we must get the automobile
on a twelve months basis or use it
merely as pleasure vehicle.
Roads which we're impossible this
spring were of three classes: those
which have never been graded to mod
ern standards, those of very recent
construction, and those which carry
too much traffic. Highways which
have been graded, graveled and
thoroughly compacted stood up even
during very bad weather periods if
they did not carry too much traffic,
but the best gravel roads soon became
impossible when travel gets too heavy.
"The situation emphasizes the i'm
mediate need of a thousand or more
miles of new paving on the more
heavily travelled routes, and pushing
the grading and graveling of the light
-er; traffic routes which have not al
ready been improved"
Liberal use of load restrictions be-
fore roads reached the impossible
stage helped to keep many routes pas
sable during the spring, Mr.. Babcock
points out. The April snow storms,
while they tied up traffic, really helped
the road situation because they kept
traffic off the roads during the spring
break up.
Motorists, with few exceptions, CO.
operated very generously by refrain
ing from all but the more necessary
travel, MIR. Babeock added. "This
made it possible to get the roads back
in good shape sooner"

BY looking at the proceedings Of the
school board published in last weeks
issue of the Miner it will be seen that
Walter E. Englund was reelected
superintendent of the Ely school sys-
tenn without a dissenting vote. The
many friends of Mr.. Englund congrat-
ulate him and also the school board
on his re-engagement to head one Of
the best educational systems in the
country. 1t can also be safely stated
that this excellent system is the OUT

BACTERIA IN FOODS
Multiply Much Faster At Certain Tenn
 perature Than Others

A lightning calculator won't null ! tiply much faster than live, active l bacteria at certain temperatures, de- clares J. l.. Johnson of the East ern Connecticut Power Co.,, local { Frigidaire dealer, just back from 1 New York where he attended a re- eional convention held by his organ 1 ization.
 During the past few months, labo- ratory experts of Frigidaire Corpo- ration have made exhaustive studies of the growth of bacteria in foods, and have discovered some startling facts regarding how much faster bae- teria multiply at certain tempera- ture than others.
 Twelve degrees make all the dif- ference in the world in food preser- vation," says Mir. Johnson. At fifty five degrees in the laboratory tests, milk turned sour in twenty-four hours and the bacteria in 1t increased from almost none at all to 2, 100000 In a cubic centimeter. The maximum bac- teria count for milk allowed by boards of health in most cities is about 200, 900. When it is remem- bered that a cubic centimeter counts to about sixteen drops, a real com prehension of the speed with which bacteria multiply can be obtained.
 A portion of the same milk, kept at an average temperature of forty three degrees in Frigidaire, was sweet six days later"
 X new explanation of something I ate disagreed with me" was found by those attending the convention when the growth of mould food was discussed.
 At certain temperatures mould on food grows for thirty-six hours be- fore it is visible to the eye, or notice able in taste" declares Mir. Johnson. But it is there. just the same, and IS the cause of lot of vague feelings of discomfort frequently attributed to indigestion and similar ills. It was proved in the laboratory tests that growth of mould on food is checked when refrigeration drops below fifty degrees.
 ssWe know that with automatic ] electric refrigeration, the housewife can maintain a food storage tempera- ture of fifty degrees or lower all the | time. We do not know of any other means at her disposal which will pro- vide such a temperature and insure ! her family's food from the rapid bacterial growth at tifty-ive degrees or above

CORLEY AND ROBINSON co BACK
IN COUNCIL FOR TWO-YEAR TERM
RECEIVED UNANIMOUS VOTE AT
THE ANNUAL TOWN ELECTION
Walter w. HynsOn Reelected Town
Treasurer Unanimously, and Clark
NJ. Knots Was Elected Assessor

The Annual Town Election took
place Monday afternoon between the
hours of two and five o'clock and the
whole administration ticket was unan-
imously elected without even scratch
vote. DR.. R. F. Corley and Herman
L. Robinson whose terms had expired,
were reelected for another two-year
term; Walter w. Hynson was re-elect-
ed Town Treasurer and Clark NJ
Knots was elected Assessor The
election of all was a foregone conclu-
sion since there was no opposing tick
ct in the field. An opportunity was
given to file nominations with Coun-
Gil ten days before the election, but no
other nominations were made except
those put up by Council and known as
the administration ticket. There were
only "a votes polled and each candi-
date received the full vote. The only
change in town officials was that of
Assessor. Harry ]. Lower refused to
run again and Clark NJ. Knots, teller
Of the National Bank of Smyrna, was
put on the ticket in his stead. The
reelection of DIR. Corley and Mr. Rob
inson was meritorious in that they
have made excellent members of
Town Council and have the interests
of the town near to heart. Since
there are a number of progressive
problems that have to be mapped out
this year including the opening and
extending of all streets to the Boule-
ward and the regarding of Commerce
street entrance to said Boulevard, the
reelection of Corley and Robinson to
work with the hold-over members,
Messrs. Grieves, Porter and Phillips,
was but a fitting compliment, since
the present Council have the matter
we'll under consideration and are cap
able Of going on with the project
without any interruption. The cleo
tion board on Monday was composed
Of F. E. Postles, inspector, Eugene
Porter and Wells FAIRIES, judges and
Mrs. Nellie Roland and Mrs. Harry P

APPLE CROP PROSPECT GOOD
Spring Buds Set and Growers Look
for a Satisfactory Fruit Yield


According to reports coming to the
Bureau of Markets, early apple trees
look good. The buds have set and
with the exception of the trees that
had heavy yield last year, the pro-
duction, it is believed will be salts
factory. How much damage has ben
done to the peach crop by the recent
freeze is undetermined Some have
found their orchards hard hit while
others report little damage. In some
orchards all of the peaches will have
to come from the top of the tree be-
cause the buds that are below 8 feet
above the ground have been killed.
Farmers of Delaware who raise sweet
potatoes under modern scientific
methods are enjoying returns this
winter much better than for several
years. The sweet potatoes put away
in storage last fall to await favor
able market have been moved all but
about 25 per cent. The tubers kept
well and there have been no general
complaints about any losses. Prices
obtained this year were $1.75 bushel
to dealers. This is double the price
obtained last year. The same condi-
tions prevailed in regard to late ap-
Piles. This fruit, put in storage last
fall is almost entirely cleaned out.
There may be ten to twenty per cent
left. The apples kept fine and the
prices obtained were much higher
than 1926. They ranged from 1925
to $3.50 a bushel. Some of them
brought even higher prices. How to
take care of the Italian greens, known
as Broccoli, is one of the things that
w. T. Derickson, director of the Bu
reau of Markets of the State Board of
Agriculture has beeen wrestling with.
Mr.. Derickson has written to many
commission houses in several states
setting forth the fact that Delaware
farmers would have a much larger
crop of Broccoli this spring than ever
before. A majority of the commits
sion houses have replied and stated
their ignorance of such a green as
Broccoli. Practically all Of them eX-
pressed the wish for trial shipments
in order that they might see how the
public relished this earliest product
of the year, in northern climes. 1t is
very likely that future crops of Broc-
coli will be enormously increased in
Delaware if a market can be found.
The green is different from spinach
and kale and grows in the winter time
1t. will be ready for market within a
week or two. 1t produces abundantly
and is easy to cultivate and because
it comes at time when the farmer is
idle practically, makes it most attrac-
tive to him.
