THIS CHAIN LETTER
rs REALLY DIFFERENT.

We have consigned a good many
chain letters to the waste basket, but
we got one the other day that was
different. 1t asked us to write to ten
friends and urge them to
GROSS CROSSINGS CAUTIOUSLY"
We will go our friend one better.
Instead of writing ten personal letters
we are printing the message her where
we hope that many times ten people
will read it. If all who read will heed
this message may be instrumental In
saving the lives of several Minnesota
people during 1880.
The advice does not apply merely to
railroad crossings, but to highway in
tersections as well. In either case,
Cross Crossings Cautiously.

SKI CLUB BEGINS
SEASON. WORK

The Ely Ski Club held it's annual
meeting Wednesday evening at the
Community Center and fairly large
membership was represented. Officers
were chosen for the year as follows:
President-Helmer Olson, reelected.
Secretary-Veikko Hirvivarri.
Treasurer-Ray Hoef1er.
Committees were named for the
several activities of the club and the
membership committee was instructed
to canvas the city at once and sign
up all old members. Membership In
the Club is $1.00 per year. This rem-
berShip fee is paid annually by the
public spirited people of Ely in order
to give the club something on which
to base their activities.
The local slide has been pu5 in con-
dition by the City and the riders are
practicing daily. Tryouts are being
had every Sunday and a record CT
each rider is being Kept. From these
records will be picked the best riders
to represent Ely in the tournaments
over the range and at Duluth. Ely will
have between fifteen and twenty riders
competing for the honors of repre-
senting the Ely Club in these outside
meets.
Young Priyatel looks like the best
bet in his class thus far but he will
have to keep up the pace he has set
as others are pressing him hard Ray
Passi and Steve Seliga are going good
in the larger boys class. Hill Captain
Clarence Chinn has been Judge at
these tryoutS.
The Club has picked February sd
for their annual tournament date and
has asked the sanction of the Arrow
head Ski Association for this date.
The American Legion Post of Ely is
being asked to sponsor the tournament
and help put it across The Legion
has the reputation of making things
go when it takes a hold and the Club
members are hoping that favorable
action on their request will be had on
next Tuesday evenings meeting or
the Post.
Financial statements are being made
up and will be sent to each of last
years members showing just how the
moneys of the club have been spent.

much ground, they are likely to ignore
the out-of-the-wa places, which are
the most important. The front en-
trance and the middle aisle may be
well swept and neat, but the plant Is
not clean if odds and ends and scraps
of waste are allowed to accumulate
under the benches, behind radiators,
in elevator and machine pits, and in
tool and clothes closets Keeping
things always in order is better ano
easier than periodical clean-ups OPP
Grating efficiency and safety demand
well-piled stock and wide aisles kept
clear. Extinguishers, fire pals ana
hose should be readily accessible, as
confusion and disorder result from
crowded conditions when fire breaks
out Plenty of paint helps. A whole
room is frightened and dark corners
are brought to light, discouraging i'm
proper disposal of refuse there.
Blocking of access to hydrants and
valves, even if only temporary, Is
dangerous.
Help reduce the preventable fire
waste by cleaning up and then keeping
clean.

MINNESOTA FARMERS USE
TOO MUCH OLEOMARGARINE.

Minnesota dairymen will be looking
for substitute for money if substi--
tutes for their main cash crop, butter.
are not restricted in use. A huge sur
plus of storage butter has driven the
price of butterfat away below last
years figures, as the storage supply is
now 40.000,000 pounds greater than,
year ago, say officers of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau Federation.
If city folk ate all of the 350,000,0oo
pounds of oleomargarine that went
onto the market in 1929 to reduce by
practically that amount the consump-
tics of butter, the Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton would see no point in taking
the farmers to task in the matter
But the Federation has learned that
go percent of all cleo sold in the
United States is purchased by farmers
And worse, one pound in four that
goes to farmers is purchased by dairy
men. This means that dairy farmers,
who are being harmed by the huge
butter surplus. themselves are using
$4,000, 900 pounds of oleo. And 10000
600 pounds of surplus butter have
forced the price of butterfat down 10
cents a pound in the past year

CONGRESSMAN PITTENGER TO
PROTECT LOWLY POTATO.

The lowly Irish potato has a cham
plon in the House of Representatives
in Congressman Pittenger of this dist
riot, who will seek to have that vege-
table given adequate protection in the
coming session.
While sponsoring the welfare of the
potato, he has declared open war on
tapioca and will endeaver to have a
high tariff placed on this item or
dessert.
All OF these manouverS are remotely
connected with every mans dinner
table" for the occasion of the battle
will be to give protection to the po-
tato by placing tariff on tapioca
The general public is unaware of the
fact that while tapioca features as a
dessert it also has an even more i'm
portant role, that of furnishing the
starch used in the manufacture of
textiles, wood glue and paper. This
role can be played equally as well by
the potato and it is to promote the
status of the "spud" in the textile,
wood glue and paper industry that
Congressman Pittenger has become its
champion.
Seriously, the granting of a high
tariff on tapioca would force these
industries to use potato starch in pref
erence to tapioca starch in manufac-
turing and thus create a large market
for potato growers in Minnesota ana
other states.
Aiding Congressman Pittenger in his
fight to protect the potato are a largt
number of prominent senators ana
congressman who for months have
been actively engaged in promoting
the interests of the potato growers
both in Minnesota and other states

government lands. This amendment
also has been dropped from the new
hills

government lands. This amendment
also has been dropped from the new
bills.
One other amendment was agreed to
by the Senate committee after the
subcommittee had been over the
ground. 1t provided that the secre-
tary of agriculture might continue to
list for homestead entry any land val
liable for agriculture Perhaps thar
is not important; the vacant land in
this area is what nobody has so far
wanted enough to claim it. At any
rate, the senators thought it just as
well not to bottle up the entire area
of 100000 acres if there was any agri-
cultural land left. That amendment
has also disappeared.
The bill as amended, the committees
report said, would not conflict with the
reasonable industrial need of timber
operators; would not prohibit the rea-
sonable use of material resources;
would not interfere with taxation but
would promote the production and
utilization of forest products and at
the same time preserve and perpetuate
the scenic and inspirational values.
But, those saving amendments are not
in the bill as introduced.

sands of square miles of new territory,

CAT AND DOG ROW

Accident Causes Vast ComIn9-
 tiOn in Animal Load

Chicago, March 19 JP)-An aura of peace hung over the truck load of dogs and cats that Ben Troyes of Libertyville, genial purr and erowl man. was driving to sell in the city pet shops.
 Mathildc, a Persian pussy, and 17 of her furry kind joined in a chorus of contented purring in their cage. Jigss, an airdale, set the mode for his canine fellows in their. Troyes whistled blithcly and counted his eggs. so to speak, before they were matched.
 Then a sport roadster and the truck came together. breaking the fastening on the animal cages and spilling dogs and cats at random. Pluto, a baby Pekingese, was crushed to death, Mathilde and Jiggs did battle, with their cohorts spit ting, scratching. bowling and snap ping according to their wont.
 The unidentified driver of the other car fled across a field with two yelping bulldogs in pursuit. Troyes and highway police tried to mediate in the main battle.

TESTS BEGUN ID
 CHECK AIRSH|P
Government Makes Scientific
 Inquiry Of Los Angeles

Washington. March 19 (UP)-The navy board of inspection and survey is subjecting the navy's only rigid airship to gruelling tests 10 deter mine it's life expectancy. Upon the report rests the airship's future su- premacy in American skies.
 Already the Los Angeles has out lived the span allotted the average German commercial dirigible, es- timated generally at five years. It was built in 1924.
 Parts Are Inspected
 More than 100 parts of the dirigi- ble are now at the bureau of stand ards. under the scrutiny of scientists. Those include sections of corroded duraluminum. and samples of the ships girders, removed during a re- cent inspection at Lakehurst.
 The parts each have been re- placed, and the ship will continue in operation pending the boards report, which is expected sometime in May. Although the vessel has been ex amined carefully by it's crew four times d. year, the present tests are the first conducted by the board of inspection and survey since the dirigible was received from Ger many five years ago.
 Will Have Three Ships Should the board decree that the Los Angeles is good for more than another year of operation, America has in prospect a Zeppelin fleet un- matched by other nations of the world.
 Two new dirigib7es, the ZRS-4 and the ZRS-5 are now under construc- ton by the Goodyear-Zeppeline Cor poration, surpassing in size and per formance all other ships of their kind. The ZRS-4, with nearly three times the flying range of the Los Angeles, will be ready for it's maiden voyage July, 1881. It's sister ship will be completed Is months later.

Councilman Mlynarski will ask the school department to deed to the city that part of the Washington school property now used for park purpos- es. In the event a wading pool is built on the site, which probably will be done within a short time, the school department also will be asked to permit the use of the school facil- ities for dressing room purposes for the children.
 In the event this is satisfactorily arranged the entire appropriation of 11,000 can be used for the wading pool.
 The park commissioners and Coun- cilman Mlynarski's committee will meet on the Washington school grounds in the near future to look over the prospective wading pool To- cation.
 Superintendent Ellingwood was instructed to ask for bids for the removal of eight large and a number of small trees from the right of way of the proposed new memorial en- trance to Walnut Hill park.

 For the wheat area Legge sug- gests land be put in flax, which is imported in considerable quantity, or be left to pasture so it will be fer tile for later use.

Have you noted how few people are nowover-fat, as ascomparedwlthyear ago? Slender figures are the vogue. And they have brought to millions new youth and beauty, new health and vigor.
 Look about you in any crowd, and you will realize that some new factor has been found. People are not starving to reduce. They are combating the cause of obesity, which usually lies in an under-active gland. Modern science has dis covered the remedy, and physicians the world over now employ it.
 A famous medical laboratory em. bodies the method in Marmola pre- scriPtlon tablets. People have used them for ? years-milIons of boxes of them, They have told the results to others. So countless people now reduce Tn th.s right and easy way,

The Marmola prescription is not secret. A book in each box states the formula, and explains the eresults. Your own doctor would probably prescribe the same help if you asked him.
 No abnormal exercise or diet. Simply take four tablets of Mar mola daily until your loss of fat proves that the cause IS corrected.
 Try Marmola, if you need 1t. Do this in fairness to yourself, your family and friends. Correct this wrong condition and note the amaz- ing results. Life will bring you many new joys when you cease to over weigh. Start today.
