the schools for Red Cross member
ships has about been completed and
isfactory. UP to yesterday morning

ship pledges for the 1881 campaign of
this nopic organization.
The American Cross has been
endorsed by all branches of society
and the benefits are being distributed
to all parts of the world wherever
calamity strikes. Half of the fund
collected in Ely remains in the treas
ury of the Ely Branch and can >e
applied locally or fill the call for spec
ial emergencies. Mrs. o. w. Parker
is the local treasurer and she has
held this position for years. ChaS.
Trezona is chairman of the drive.
Endorsements for the Red Gross are
furnished by noted men from all parts
of the country Attached we are Civ
ing the endorsements of a few who
are we'll known in this section of the
state. The first is by A. B. Kapplin,
Commander of the Minnesota Ameri-

GOLF TALKIE MORE
FUN THAN WORK.

With one of CALIFORNIA; most beauti-
full and luxurious resorts as a location
site, advance word comes from the
Pacific Coast that the making of Love
in the Rough, was more fun than work
Charles F. (Chuck Reisner, who di-
rected the musical comedy romance
from the play, Spring Fever" for
Metro-G oldwyn-Mayer is said to have
made his company feel as though they
we're on a vacation, devoting several
weeks to the hilarious golf links Sc
quence which kept the players in close
touch with their favorite pastime.
Since the picture is based upon
golf story, it was only natural that
players who follow the game were
chosen.
Heading the cast of the production
which will open on November 80 at the
Opera House, is Robert Montgomery,
whose rise to film fame within year
is regarded as little short of amazing
and who, rumor has it, will shortly be
rewarded with stardom. Other players
include Dorothy Jordan, recently seen
opposite Ramon Novarro in Call of
the Flesh" Benny Rubin, Dorothy Nc
Nulty, TyrTell Davis, Allan Lane, Ros-
coe AteS, Edwards Davis and Harry
Burns.
Report has it that the Interpolation
of the musical sequences out-of- doors
was particularly cleverly handled,
especially a golf foresome which exc
cutes song ambulance routines on the
greens. The musical score, written by
Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh
includes seven new song numbers
played by the Biltmore Hotel Orches-
ira.
Since virtually all of the filming was
completed on the various location sites,
the players in the company were free
of shooting schedule worries, simply
having to get up and walk downstairs
to be on the set.

although organized primarily to
meet emergencies and disasters, you
have assumed the very important
duty of responding to appeals for help
from veterans of the World War. We
are faced by conditions that call for
a more enthusiastic support than at
any other time in the history of your
organization and we are confident that
the people of Minnesota will respond
in greater numbers than ever before.
"All should join the Red Gross, "The
Greatest Mother" an international
organization, non-Sectarian and hu-
manitarian in its contacts. I am most
happy to commend it not only to
members of the American Legion, but
to every member of our great COM
monwealth."
Statement of endorsement by the
Rt. Rev. Thomas A. WEIGH, Bishop of
Duluth, Roman Catholic Church:
1.-THE Red Gross Roll Call which this
year extends from Armistice Day to
Thanksgiving Day affords everyone a
fine opportunity to enrol
1.-The American Red Cross is one of
the noblest undertakings of Christian
charity and minded patriotism
that could be presented to the Ameri-
can people, both for the motives that
inspire it, and the wonderously we'll
fitting methods by which it accomp-
fishes relief.
1.-The Red Cross is international,
non-sectarian and strictly humanitar-
ian. 1t is membership organization,
and its ranks are open to all. All
should join. The Red Cross has never
failed us. We should not fail the Red
Cross. Your membership makes pos
sible this year round service of mercy.
ct commends itself to the whole
souled sympathy and admiration of
all. There is no American citizen
worthy of the name who should not
be proud to be among its members,
and I earnestly hope that the present
membership enrolment will have the
success its so we'll deserves"
Statement of endorsement by the
Rt. Rev. G. g. Bennett, Bishop, Do
cese of Duluth, Protestant Episcopal
Church.
1.-The annual enrolment of men,
bers in the American Red Gross should
not be a drive, but an opportunity
which the Duluth Chapter extends to
citizens of this community, for the
Red Gross is our hand of mercy
stretched out in times of need, trouble
and disaster.
THE little white button with the
Red Gross on it's surface should be, to
the one who wears it, an assurance in
his own mind that his heart is in the
right place.
1.-The sum which we are asked to pay
is very small for the honor of belong
ing to such an organization"

ION This
!: Occasion
q Just a few thoughts by the Editor
0 ON things Material and Immaterial.

Now that the voters of the county
most decisively declared on November
4th, that they were in favor of the
Old Age Pension law, a check of the
provisions of the law leaves a doubt in
some minds as to the benefits to be de-
rived. The first feature of the law
which is being freely discussed is the
age limit which is figured too high
The next feature which is open for
discussion is the length or residence
In order to become beneficiary under
the law, residence of five fears is
demanded. Then again, there must be
no children having earning power
Another condition, that the pensioners
property, if he has any, must become
the property of the state at his death
or when 1t is sold. Also that monies
paid to a pensioner shall be charged
back to the town, city or village where
he lives. -
All these matters are being freely
discussed. They should be and if the
act Is not beneficial as it now stands,
1t can be amended the next session of
) the legislature to make it beneficial.
The loop-holes should be plugged up
and an ironclad act should be put on
the books making the pension act one
Of justice and not of charity The
voters adopted the plan from noble
motives and the intention of the voter
should be respected. Public bodies
should discuss the measure and recon-
mend such changes as to make it a

OUR THANKSGIVING DAY

Although it is the custom to say
that Thanksgiving day is a distinct

that it is not so unique as most of us
may think For the idea back of

festivals of Biblical times and other
celebrations which are continued to
this day in European countries

SEASON NOW ON FOR

Deaths from carbon monoxide
poisoning have more than doubled in
the last six years, says the National
Safety Council in calling attention to
the fact that the worst season of the
year for this particular type of fatality
is at hand.
The greatest increase came in 1927.
While there has been gradual in
crease since that time, it has been
small enough to indicate that the
