lCURRIES We're originated in In

alate tagging appetites during de-
pressing weather. The highly
seasoned. pungent curry sauce
with its distinctive flavor does in

10 spring menus.
A curry is invariably served
with rice and may or may not use
meat or fish in its makeup. Vege-
table curries are excellent and help
solve the luncheon or supper prob
lem. The rice forms the border
and the other material in the cur
ry gives the piquant flavor 10 the
dish. Leftover meats can be re-
heated in the curry sauce and
served in a border of rice. This
makes an attractive way TO use up

ST. CLOUD PEDS
PREY FOR ELY
Ely Junior College Basketeer.
Win From St. Cloud In
Fast Game.

The transforming st. Cloud Teachers
College basketball team ran up against
the buzz saw here Friday evening in
the shape Of the Ely Junior College
basketeers. Two former stars of the
Ely College quint were on the st.
Cloud team and the popularity of
these boys with the added opportunity
to see two good teams in action, filled
the capacious gymnasium to the doors.
Steve Smrekar and ''Tubby" BANJO
vetz the two stars mentioned, were
coming home from the st. Cloud Col
lege to spend the holidays and it was
their work that brought their team
mates along with them for an exhibition
before the home folks. The St. Cloud
team also played at Hibbing Thurs
day night and defeated the Junior
College team of that city AS Hibbing
had taken our boys into camp on a
previous game, the results were some
what problematical.
Our team did not scare to any
alarming extent and at once started to
take the lead in the scoring At the
end of the first quarter the score stood
to l in our favor. The second quar-
ter was not quite so one sided and the
half ended with score of 20 to Is.
AT the close of the third period the
score stood 80 to % and at the end
of the game A to 80 in our favor. At
no time was the result in doubt. Thos.
Murn referred the game.
Smrekar, Banovetz and Colletti were
the scoring stars for st. Cloud while
Grahek and Gouze starred for Ely.
Their work was enhanced by the ex-
cellent support given them by their
teammates. The teams played a fine
game
The following evening the collegians
went to Duluth where they played the
Duluth Teachers College team. This
game was not SO poppy as the one here
the evening before. Several of the
boys had sustained injuries in the st.
Cloud game. The fouling was pro-
nounced with Duluth getting II and
Ely IA personal fouls Some dissatis-
faction was shown by the spectators
in Saturdays game over the decisions
of the officials and technical fouls were
called by the officials in retaliation.
The Duluth Teachers were never
headed Ely spWted in the third period
but could not overcome the lead and
the fine work of the Duluth team. The
score ended with a count of 36 To Is
in favor of Duluth.

deer INCREASE
In MINNESOTA
Reports All Game Increases
With the Exception of
Ducks.

A marked increase in Minnesota S
deer population is evident on the basis
OF reports by game wardens and other
observers, Louis Enstrom, chief deputy
Of the state game and fish division
said last week.
Deer enjoyed not only season closed
to hunting this year but weather and
other elements seemed to be favorable
There will be another open season
late next year.
The states moose population, COM
paratively limited, and most in evi-
dence in the regions north of Red
Lake and the northern part of Superior
National Forest, also appears on the
increase, Mr.. Enstrom reported.
The season on moose is closed at all
times in Minnesota. They have been
reported at points further south than
for some years.
A herd of caribou, one of the few
in the nation, was reported seen north
Of Red Lake this year. There were Is
or IA animals in the herd Caribou
have been reported in the region from
time to time for several years.
They are extremely wary and those
seen have been feeding far from any
human settlement. Some wardens be-
lieve the caribou migrate each year
to and from the extensive Canadian
forests north of the border where the
animal is much more frequently seen.
Both the pin-tailed and ruffed grouse
have shown increases according to COM
petent observers, Mr.. Enstrom said.
They are most numerous in the wooded
sections near the northern border of
the state but another reason for pre-
Stunning an increase in their number is
that reports of them at more southerly
points have increased
In the case Of pheasants, reasons
for believing that there has been an
increase include reports of observers
who have seen them at more northerly
points than heretofore. They have been
seen some distance north of Little Falls
and have increased sharply in the St.
Cloud region and in western Mime
sofa.
While the toll in the open season on
pheasantS in October was probably
the heaviest in their history in Mime
sofa, which covers about 20 years since
their introduction, the total number
Of birds in the state today is probably
equal or greater than year ago.
The trend in the case of ducks and
geese is distinctly in the direction of
fewer fowl. Minnesota's short season
this year when shooting was limited
to the month of October, resulted in the
smallest aggregate bag in the states
hunting annals.
Mr.. Enstrom said that the drouth.
both in Minnesota and Canadian nest
ing and feeding grounds had an un-
usually bad effect. Lower water re-
suited in the drying up of rice and other
feed beds. One important disadvantage
is the probability that even if normal
water levels return, several may pass
before a suffciency of feed is again
available.

Community Band Plays
To Large Audience.

The Ely Community Band which has
been playing to large audiences every
other Sunday at the Washington Audi
torium kept up this reputation at last
Sundays concert under the direction Of
Prof. DiNino.
Since changing the time from 2:3o
to 800 O'Clock for the Sunday concerts.
the attendance has been increased as q
great many people had not finished
their Sunday dinner and attendant
necessary work by 2:30.
The band presented a program Of
six very well given and received num-
bers. The program called for solos by
Mrs. Charles Lassi but this lady was
suffering from cold and Miss Inez
Lampi was substituted Miss Lampi
has a very fine voice and sang two
numbers in finished manner. She IS
home for the winter after a successful
season on Chatauqua circuit She was
accompanied on the piano by Mrs v.
Koivumaki. Miss Lampi was roundly
applauded.
Mrs. Luther M Bang read The
Christmas Substitute" IN a very efec-
tive manner. The story Of Jimmy
Fitzgerald was given as only Mrs Bang
can give it and elected much applause
Owing to the length Of the reading
she failed to respond TO the encore
The band closed its part With The
Star Spangled Banner" The next con-
cert is being advertised for January 10
These concerts are well worth at
tending. No admission is asked as the
concerts are a donation towards the
entertainment Of our people by the City
Council and the Board Of Education
