IMPORTANT THIRD
PERIOD WILL CLOSE
ON NEXT TUESDAY
Six Days Left of Important
Third Period and Seventeen
Days in All Left
RACE HOTLY CONTESTED
Winners of Handsome AutOmO-
biles and 500 in Gold Must
Work to Win

Standing today with their faces to
the future and the thoughts of snow
or Never" lowering in their minds,
candidates in The Gazette's Camp
align are rallying their aids, as would
a general on the eve of battle; pre-
pairing with feverish haste to make
their final stand for victory before
10 o'clock Saturday evening, August
23rd-the last night-With all Red
wood county and the surrounding
territory, waiting, watching, wonder
ing and hustling for their favorites.
Leading candidates are seething
with hustle and preparation for the
final dash, and with one accord are
fighting valiantly and determinedly
to reach the goal where the big prize
automobiles and Gold are awaiting
the winners.
Eight weeks of work will eliminate
in the closing scene at 10 o'clock
Saturday evening, August 23rd, at
which time the big prize campaign
comes to an official close, and the
most successful candidates will claim
the magnificent prizes, headed by
three splendid standard automobiles.
The luxurious Chevrolet Sport Sedan,
valued at $853.00; the beautiful and
commodious $67SOO Chevrolet Coach;
The classy and reliable $604.00 Ford
Tudor Coach and the various cash
prizes including the SPECIAL Prize
of $4,000 in Gold.
Success in an affair of this kind
depends upon keen judgment and
immediate action. Through all his
tory people possessing the faculty OF
knowing an opportunity when they
see it have won frequently, on the
last turn Of the cards, the good
things of this world, while those I'M
decided and afraid stand back and
talk about what they could have
DONE"
The End Is But Few Days Away
If you can trust your own judg-
ment as to your competitors
strength based on facts and observa-
tions, lay your plan accordingly.
There is yet time to stem the tide
and turn it to a sweeping victory.
Don't try to figure how many
votes it will take to win, for you will
surely fail to get enough. Don't be
afraid of having too many votes, for
you cannot get too many. 1t would
be better to win by few thousand
more than enough, than be left by
few thousand.
Over confidence has lost many
battles. Relaxation at this stage of
the campaign is suicidal to success.
Determination to win, coupled with
relentless activity in vote getting,
will make any candidate winner.
What is intended to be done MUST
be done NOW. To temporize is to
let some competitor sweep ahead and
claim the prize that would have been
yours.
A few more laps and the course
will have been run. Only a short
time remains to choose between Vic
tory or defeat! Success or failure!
Don't overlook your chances to WIN.
Avail yourself of every opportunity
this period affords-it being the last
opportunity to gain extra votes from
extension payments. Think and
plan constantly, for this means sue
cess. Figure ways of winning and
always remember that your adver-
saries, as keen perhaps as yourself,

sixty years, passing away at the age
of S3 years, were attended by her
two sons and families of Redwood
Falls, few relatives, host of
friends throughout the county and
by as many of the fast-thinning
group of early pioneers who were
able to assist in the services.
Mrs. Finn, who had been in fail

death was given except old age.
Mary Lavinia Brainerd was born

1847 and came. westward to Elba,
Wisconsin with her parents in 1854
where they settled. When she was
fifteen she went back to New York to

After attending this school for three
years she returned ! to Wisconsin
where she taught school successfully
for FIVE years.
Following her career as teacher,
the deceased was united in marriage
to DR.. William D. Finn on October
%, 1870. DR.. Finn was a practicing
physician and surgeon in Redwood
Falls at the time of their marriage.
The newly married couple came di-
rectly to Redwood Falls. To them
five children were born, William who
died while attending a medical
school, Charles and Milton who both
died in early infancy, and Thomas E..
and Brainerd P. who survive her. Her
husband passed away in Redwood
Falls in 1897.
= AiG0f Mrs. Films life since her
marriage was spent in Redwood
Falls with the exception of four
years residence in Claremont, Calf
ornia when her son Brainerd was at
tending Pomona College.
Her social and public-spirited af-
filiations were many and varied.
Mrs. Finn was a member of the
library board when the Redwood
Falls library was realized and built.
She was instrumental in the erection
OF the Episcopal church. She was
a charter member of the Eastern
Star and also of the Woman's Club of
Redwood Falls. She was also a
member of the Women's Relief
Corps, American Legion Auxiliary
and Women's Christian Temperance

of clean, capable, honest and effic-
lent school government and was al
ways keenly interested in the work
and advancement of the local public
school system.
The deceased is survived by her
two sons and families. The out-of-
town relatives who attended the
services were Miss Rena Brainerd of
Blooming Prairie, Minnesota and
George Brainerd of Minneapolis.

GASOLINE CONSUMPTION
SHOWS LARGE INCREASE

Gasoline used by Minnesota motor
lists from January to September, in
elusive totaled 267 1865, 1886 gallons. In
the corresponding nine months in 1929
the total was 241, ,l35,6O0 gallons. The
increase is nearly IL per cent. The
figures are taken from the State Oil
Inspectors reports on in-shipmentS, less
the amounts used for agricultural and
industrial purposes, on which refunds
were made.
The total for the first nine months in
1880 is greater than the total for the
entire year of 1927, and greater than
the total for the first eleven months of
1923. The extra cent of gas tax, which
went into effect May l, 1929, does not
seem to have caused any decrease in
sales On the contrary, says a High
way bulletin, gas taxes by building bet
ter roads, tend to increased highway
travel and transport.
Net in-shipments in September were
34,755 931 gallons, an increase of 4,104,-
500 gallons, or 1874 per cent, over Sept
ember last year.

Men to be Kent Busy.

The Importance of stabilized steel
industry to the iron mining industry
will be vividly illustrated the coming
winter. Prior to its stabilization, and
during periods of quiet in the industry,
such as we have witnessed in 1880,
there would be little doing in the
mining districts as the steel plants
were served in hand o-mouth man.
ner and activities at the mines were
deferred until there was definite
promise of upturn and larger demand
for iron ore. Now there is more work
for men to do in the ion ranges and
winter regardless of the fact that
times may be dull in the steel industry.
Preparations are made, not only for
the coming shipping season, but work
that has been deferred during the
active periods is taken up and per-

BILLINGS SAYS TURKS
NEED WET MASH NOW.

Turkeys that are being fattened
rapidly for the market should be given
crumbly wet mash each morning or
noon, says DR.. w. A. Billings, turkey
specialist, University Farm This wet
mash can be made by simply wetting
the regular mash with milk or water.
The wet mash may be fed in an or
dinary V-shaped hog trough, and
eoough should be fed so that the birds
will get good fill, but will not be
over fed. The best birds should be
gaining about two pounds week from
now on, DR.. Billings says, with the
average gain about, a pound and a
half.
Regarding the regular mash, DR..
Billings advises giving the birds plenty
of it, and being sure that they have ad-
equate hopper room Where corn is
not available, or where it is too high
priced, barley makes an excellent sub
stitute. Equal parts of wheat, oats and
barley may be ground fine and mixed
with similar amount of meat scrap
or meat meal so that each of these in
gradients forms 25 per cent of the
finished mash mixture
ANY good grain mash will fill the
bill" DR.. Billings says. 1.-The ration
have just suggested is a hard times
ration, but I know of f1ocks raised on
it in which the toms tipped the scales
at 18 pounds when little over four
months of age"

CANDIDATES FOR THE LEGISLATURE
ANSWER MINER LETTER Of INQUIRY

In conformity with the opinion ex-
pressed by a large portion of the citi-
zens of the Vermilion Range, The Ely
Miner took it upon itself to address a
letter to the candidates for the Senate
and House in this district. In view of
the fact that reapportionment is
bound to follow the 1880 census and
that the matter will come up in the
January session of the legislature, we
thought it fine idea to get the in
dividual views of the candidates in our
district on the subject.
The letter sent out and the answers
received are substantially as follows
and explain themselves. The letter to
Geo. H Lommen and Mark Nolan,
candidates for the Senate and r. j.
McGhie, Ray Anderson, Joseph Kotze
and Karl Ranta, candidates for repre-
sentatives, read:
Dear Sir-The Vermilion Range
failed to place a candidate in the field
for Senator or Representative at the
coming election. The Vermilion Range
while recognizing that it is entitled to
representation in the law-making body
at st. Paul. also feels that it is i'm
possible to secure the same under the
present conditions. 1t feels that the
Mesaba end of the district can make
or break any candidate by reason of
voting strength and that it would be
poor policy for this end of the district
to put up a candidate for the MeSaba
end to shoot at.
In view of this fact, the Vermilion
feels that representation should be
changed in the SXty-first District to
insure this end of the district one of
the three representatives in the House
or Senate in the future. With this
end in view we remained out of the
contest this year
AS a candidate for the Senate or the
House, will you lend your support in
case of election this fall? Will you use
your influence in the legislative halls
to insure the Vermilion Range one of
the officials in the House or Senate by
having the law changed to make this
possible?
Will be pleased to hear from you on
or before october % as we desire to
make your answer public in The Ely
Miner. Consider the matter carefully
and give us your answer as soon as
possible.
Thanking you in advance, we remain,
Yours respectfully.

STANDARD OIL STARTS
NEW AID CAMPAIGNS.

Autumn campaigns to advertise pre-
MUM gasoline and new motor oils have
been started by the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana. Large ads will be
used in more than 1850 newspapers in
thirteen middle west and Rocky Noun
tain states in this major undertaking
to assist marketing by use of news
paper space.
The advertising of gasoline will un-
dertake to impress on the motoring
public the great success the company
has achieved in sales of its premium
product, New Red Crown Ethyl, and
will feature the endorsement the pro-
duct has received also from indepen-
dent dealers who are handling gasoline
on a reseller basis. Amazing Accep-
tance," First in the Field" and "Evi-
dence" are to be catchwords of the
campaign.
The motor oils advertising will con-
sist of series of ads which will
strikingy picture and explain the abil-
ity of the winter grades of the new oils
to flow at freezing temperatures when
other oils tested remain solid.
Spring and early summer advertising
smashes, coupled with vigorous selling
effort, have greatly increased popularity
of the premium gasoline, Red Crown
Ethyl. The new oils, Iso-Vis and Pol
arine, have also achieved an outstand-
inS success on the market.

october 17th, 1880.
Mr. Peter Schaefer, Editor,
Ely Miner,
Ely, Minnesota.
Dear Mr.. Schaefer-In response to
your letter of october 18th, relative to
providing for a special Legislative Re-
preventative for the Vermilion Range
in the Legislature, I wish to say that
concur heartily in your sentiment.
Tower, Ely, Soudan and other parts of
the Fourth Commissioner District are
too important parts of the district to
be without a direct Representative in
the Legislature who lives in that sec
ton
Personally, am in favor of some
kind of reapportionment that would
give st. Louis County the representa-
ton it is entitled to-. If some reap
portionment plan could be put through
we could probably have three Represen-
tatives from the Sixty First district
and one Senator as they have in some
districts This would give Vermilion
Range a Representative or Senator
without disturbing great deal the
present situation.
However, I do not intend to quibble
about this matter at all and I will say
without any hesitation that will sup
port a plan that will result in Ver-
million Range getting a Legislative
Representative of its own.
am very pleased to assert my stand
on this matter and if there are any
other issues that I can clarity my
stand upon I will be glad to do so.
Very truly yours,

Smacking of salty spray and the hot
breath of adventure, THE Sea Wolf"
Fox Movietone talkie of the famous
Jack London novel, comes to the Elco
Theatre next Sunday with Milton Stills,
Jane Keith and Raymond Hackett in
the featured roles.
The picture is thrilling tale of
strange romance aboard sealing YES
sci in the North Pacific, with the men
acing figure of the Wolf" the master
of the schooner, furnishing the power
full drama and gripping situations of
the story. With its nautical sequences
filmed entirely at sea, even to the pre-
cedent of making the cabin interiors
right aboard the specially fitted
schooner, Director Alfred Santell is
said to achieved unusual realism in his
handling of the story.

PROTECT THE BABIES
AGAINST DIPHTHERIA
The Ely Miner,
U1yx, NH;a~o11{o

When every baby over six months old
has been immunized against diphtheria
then both communities and parents
may consider that they have ad-
equately protected themselves against
this most dreadful Of childrenS dis
eases. And then only!
This is the opinion of doctors of the
Minnesota State Medical Association
expressed in a bulletin on the preven-
ton of diphtheria issued this week.
The effectiveness and safety of i'm
muniZation against diphtheria is now
perfectly established, these doctors de-
clare, and its place along with vac
cination against small pox as routine
essential everywhere to the health and
protection sof children.
1t has been given to thousands of
school children all over the United
States and to relatively small number
of infants and pre-school children.
Even this partial immunization which
has only begun to reach the little ones
under six the group most menaced by
the disease has cut down death rates
from diphtheria enormously. In New
York City the bulletin says, 507 child
rem used to die each year from the
disease out of every 100000. Now the
deaths among the same number of per-
sons has fallen to approximately %
and these figures are being reduced
each year. In the city of Saint Paul
in Minnesota the death rate in 1925
was Ills for every one hundred thous-
and. In 1929 the death rate was low
cred to less than one for every 100000.
In st. Paul practically all school
children are immunized against diph-
liberia
when babies and the pre-school
children receive the same protection
as the older children in school diph-
liberia will become to all practical pur-
poses, thing of the past" the bulletin
prophesies.
"It is the very young children who
are most susceptible to the disease and
it is among them that the death rate
is highest. The baby should be in
noculated soon after the immunity
conferred upon him by the immunities
In his mothers blood wears off, usually
at the age from five to six months.
Diphtheria will never be completely
eradicated, no matter how good our
weapons of defense unless the pro-
lection is also extended to the babies
and small children at home.
"It is as much the duty of parent and
doctor to see that children are pro-
tected from diphtheria as to see that
they have food and clothes and proper
treatment in case Of pneumonia or
heart disease.

In a recent address delivered by Ray
p. Chase, present State Auditor and
candidate for Governor, at Tyler,
Minnesota, Mr.. Chase took up the
matter of the mining industry most
intelligently. In view of the lack of
comment on anything not pertaining
to farming in this campaign, the talk
by Mr.. Chase is very satisfying to the
northern end of the state. He said:
"Prolongation of the life of its great
mining industry is vitality important to
Minnesota.
In 1850, surveyors along the Inter
national Boundary found the Gunflint
iron ore deposits. Toward the close of
the COS gold seekers about Lake Ver-
million found the iron mines of Tower
The first shipment of ore from Mime
ssota was made in 1884. The Mesabi
Iron Range was discovered in the later
sos and began shipping ore in 1892.
The Guyana Range entered the pro-
ducing list in 1911. From 1884 to date
nearly O00,000,O00 tons of iron ore
have been shipped from the state, a
tonnage sufficient to relay with the

GREAT INDIAN FIGHTER
BORN 100 YEARS AGO.

One hundred years ago there was
born on farm in Maine boy who
was destined to become one of the
greatest Indian fighters in American
history. Although he fought the red
man, his name has come down in his
tory also as one of the best friends
the Indian ever had and even though
he rose to distinction as a commander
in the Civil war he is best remembered
for his relations with the wards of the
nation.
The story of Gen. Otis Howard is an
interesting one. Read about it in the
illustrated feature article Famous
Fighter and Friend, of the Indian" by
Elmo Scott Watson in this issue of The
