TO THE GROWERS AND TRANSFER
BUYERS OF MARYLAND TOBACCO

Due to the ever increasing complaints
from the domestic and foreign manu-
facturers, on account of faulty packing,
such as conceaEng of trash and barn
scrapings in hogsheads, also bad con-
dition, due to spraying and sprinkling
of tobacco at the time of prizing, we
will be compelled to discriminate more
sharply in the future between good and
badly packed tobacco. In this con-
uection it has also come to our atten
ton that large number of packages
came to market under assumed and
fictitious names last season, which in
some tobacco growing States is Grim
inal otfense, and in order to abolish
this dishonest practice, we will abso-
lutely refuse to buy from any selling
agency offering hogsheadS shipped to
market under any name other than the
actual name OF the packer and shipper.
Signed by all buyers on the Balti-
more market.

CHOSEN AS DIRECTORS.

The annual election of directors for
School District No. IL on Tuesday was
a spirited affair. While surface in

battling, the silent treatment accorded
the candidates developed into a very
indefinite race which was only settled
late Tuesday evening after the vote
in the several precincts had been tabu-
lated.
A total vote of 2123 was cast in the
precincts. Polling places were at Win
ton, the White Iron School, the Com
munity Center and the Pioneer School.
Winton cast II votes; White Iron Sc:
Community Center 981 and the Pioneer
School 1,005. B. S. Richards was high
man in the voting closely followed by
Arvid L. Sundholm These will re-
place Bern Lambert and E. H. Stark
man on the board. Neither Lambert
or Starkman were candidates to sue
coed themselves.
The vote for the four candidates in
the race were as follows:
B. S. Richards, total of 1924 divided
as follows: Winton, 81; White Iron, So:

FORMULA FOR CLEANING
ROAD OIL FROM CARS

In response to several requests, we
are reprinting recipe for removing
road oil from cars, which was pub
lished several weeks ago in a High
way bulletin. The recipe is brief and
simple:
Mix one pint auto engine oil and
two quarts gasoline,
Apply to the parts of the car spat-
tered with road OIL
After five minutes wash off with
soap and water.
This should be done as soon as pos
sible after you get home, before the
road oil or tar sets.
With present methods of applying
bituminous road material, and mixing
with new gravel, the damage to cars
is not as great as few years ago,
when the rule was to "slop it on
thick" without any gravel covering.
The scattering of oil or tar on the
cars can be further minimized if
drivers will slow down to moderate
speeds when going over newly treated
roads or streets. But when the car
does get spattered, the owner likes to
clean it quickly and save the finish

SPORT
BY Charles Gallagher

A much revamped Ely team came
back to their old form Sunday to take
a hard fought game from Hibbing by
a to 2 count, and thereby remained
in a tie with Virginia for the top OF
the league Chisholm and Meadow
lands who were tied with Ely and
Virginia, both were defeated and
dropped into a tie for fifth place
Ely played much better ball in Sun
days game than those of the previous
week Sneider was at first base for
the locals and strengthened the lineup
considerable. This has been Ely's weak
spot all season The team however can
still stand improvement if they ex-
pect to win the range championship
this season. Alfalfa was out of the
game due to injuries and this left Ely
weak at third base. Madden who
filled in at third is far too slow a man
for that position and had numerous
chances for put-outs on fly balls which
he could not catch Alfalfa will no
doubt be back in the lineup and Ely
will have a much stronger team than
at any time this season.
Hoef1er was also out of the lineup
Sunday due to a stiff neck and Ora
nice game and shows promise of be-
coming a good outfelder when he is
seeded little more
Nicholas was the big gun at bat for
the locals sunday, garnering two hits
out of four official trips to the plate
He scored the first run and drove in
another which Tied the game each
time. Nicholas, however, failed to
come through in pinch when he
struck out twice with men on bases
Gadbout pitched much better ball
than he had the previous week and
the team worked much better with the
exception of third base.
Sunday the boys will journey to
Tower which should promise to be the
feature game of the season and if Ely
can get by this game they should have
clear sailing for the second half
championship. The standing of the

with which the various conservation
groups of Minnesota, the American
Legion, the Women'S Clubs, the
American Forestry Association, the
American Game Protective Association
and other groups are cooperating most
effectively.
Precious international historic values,
rare scenic qualities and unique re-
creational facilities surround this
great region, all of which are within
easy reach of one hundred million
residents of both Canada and the
United States. The area contains the
only remaining extensive coniferous
forests in the Middle West with UNI
usual potentialitieS for the develop
ment of a future continuous supply Of
forest products. 1t also affords an un-
usual opportunity to preserve, perpetu-
ate, reStock, and increase various
species of wild life of invaluable econ
omic and aesthetic Importance to both
nations.
The awakening of the public to
plan to building series of dams,
which would ultimately have resulted
in the control of an immense lake and
forest area in the region referred to,
came six years ago. The dams would
have affected thousands of miles of
wild, wooded shores and add to the
plight of the homesteaders at the en-
trance to the region. The huge ex-
panSe of back-water created by inter
ferring with the natural flow of water
would ruin much of the scenic and
recreational value of the country and
also tend to drown out wildlife.
An extensive program of research
was inaugurated by the Izaak Walton
League and the Quetico-Superio
Council for the purpose of devising
plan providing both for the permanent
preservation of the region as a wilder
ness sanctuary and for it's permanent
use as a timber reserve. 1t proposed
to hold the waters of the lakes at their
normal level, and to forbid numbering
or other exploitation along the mar
gins of lakes and streams hence pro-
tecting U.,clr virgin natural beauty for
poSterity.
The passage of the Shipstead- New
ton Nolan bill brings to a successful
conclusion the hectic fight to save one
of the greatest outdoor areas in Amer
lea. ConServationists throughout the
country have watched the progress of
saving this region from commercial
ism with determined interest and sin
certify. 1t is an outstanding victory
for conservation and one that means
the preserving of a territory unlike
any other in America. 1t is the most
important of number of conservation
victories in the present session of
Congress Walton League Bull
letin.
