counted twice in the fifth to take a
four and three lead. The City team
counted with three runs in the seventh
to take the lead but the Arrowheads
scored four times in their half Of the
seventh to bring the count to 8 and g.

featured the game each hitting safely
three times in four trips to the plate.

run.
Grahek was on the mound for the
Arrowheads and allowed eleven hits.
E. Starkman started for the city team
but was relieved by w. Starkman in
the seventh inning. E. Starkman
allowed eight hits; w. Starkman was
touched for two safeties Seven errors
were made by the City team while the

few remaining wildernesses on the
North American continent and many
are availing themselves of the chance
to make a trip into such country

lake one passes through may be used

is so wild that bear, deer and moose
can be seen within few feet of camp
almost every day or evening.

ROLAND HAYES
At VIRGINIA
WORLD FAMOUS NEGRO TENOR
WILL APPEAR AT VIRGINIA
NEXT WEDNESDAY-MANY FROM
ELY INTEND TO HEAR HIM.

A treat extraordinary is in store for
range music lovers when Roland
Hayes, Negro tenor, appears at the
Virginia high school auditorium on
Wednesday, October Z. The appear
ance OF this popular concert singer on
the range will be under the auspices
of Mrs. Benjamin Milavetz of Virginia,
who in past years has been instru-
mental in bringing some Of the world S
most famous vocal and instrumental
artists to the range. Mrs. Milavetz is
the only woman in the entire north
west who is sponsoring the appearance
of such famous artists as Mr.. Hayes.
She was in Ely Monday on a visit with
her nephew, DR.. G. Milavetz, and ad.
vertising the singer.
The sale of tickets for the concert
was started last week and reservations
may be made by calling Mrs. Milavetz
at 435 or So, Virginia. A great num-
Der of reservations have already been
made. and judging from the interest
being shown in the concert a capacity
crowd Is anticipated.
Mr.. Hayes will appear In Virginia as
part of his seventh tour Of America,
where he Is known as the worlds
greatest and most beloved Negro
singer He sings with such perfection
that he holds his audience in his power
from the start to the finish of the
concert. The magic OF his half-voice
as it floats across the audience, trans
fixing the song before him, is in
describable. Quietly, but with the ut
most effect, he brings to musician and
layman alike the finest beauties in the
literature of song.
The tenor was born on humble
Georgia farm. He went to work in
Chattanooga in a stove factory, where
friends noticed the remarkable voice.
Hayes worked his way through Fisk
university-sang with their Jubilee
singers-trayeled with them. A sing
ing master singled him out and
trained his voice.
Success came to him with a recital
in London-a recital which took his
last penny to give. He was COM
manded to sing before the king Of
England. Flattering invitations began
to pour in from France, Germany,
Austria and each, country could not
cease to wonder at this singer who
could sing a chanson as if he were
born to the style and tongue, a Ger
man lied" with perfect diction and
a mood comprehension almost start
ling.

is MOTOR TAX EXEMPTION
OVERCOME?

Automobiles exempt from motor
vehicle taxation in Minnesota now
number 1924. Theoretically, these
machines are all owned and operated
in the administration of Federal, State
County and City affairs" Their ex-
emption costs the State Highway Fund
nearly fifty thousand dollars year.
Just how many of these cars, sup
posedly operated only for the trans
action of the public business, are used
chiefly to take public job holders to
and from their work, and on private
errands that have no connection with
the public serviceF
The question is prompted by the
sight of numerous tax exempt cars
driven by women shoppers in the Twin
City Loop areas on normal afternoons;
by the sight of numerous tax exempt
cars carrying week end outing parties;
by the sight, also of numerous tax ex-
empt cars parked near theaters, boxing
arenas and other places of amusement
on normal evenings.
Taxpaying motorists have no OBJ
lection to the exemption of cars whose
chief use is for governmental errands
Taxpaying motorists do object, and
rightly, to the exemption of cars whose
main use is to take jobholders about
on personal errands. The man whose
salary is paid out of tax money surely
is not privileged to have his private
transportation bills also paid out OF
tax money.
Some day taxpaying motorists are
going to insist on a separation of tax
exempt sheep from tax exempt goats

say of the work of the Red Cross In
that fire stricken area. The Region
said:
with emergency measures well in
hand for the sufferers Of the forest
fire which wiped out large part Of
Lake Of the Woods county and
western Koochiching county, those in
charge have turned their attention to
permanent relief for the Wstims. H.
A. Beltz and Miss Margaret Diers Of
st. Louis have been on hand since q
few days after the fire, and Friday
they were joined by Albert Evans,
national director for seventeen states.
They have been working with local
officers and members of the Red Cross
and with the first shock of the local
disaster over, they are getting things
in order.
Victims who are in need of build
ing materials are being given orders
for it, and the work will be pushed
as rapidly as possible, so that the
structures will be up before winter

DEAD SPOTS" INTERFERE
ON THE IRON RANGES.

Martin Codel, formerly Of Hibbing
but now a writer for the Radio News
Bureau of New York, has printed the
following radio news of interest to
this section of the country. He said:
THE little town of Ely, up on the
iron range of Minnesota, notorious
dead spots" on the radio map, may
acquire new broadcasting station,
despite the overcrowding condition of
the wave lengths and the Federal
Radio Commissions avowed intention
of licensing no more new broadcasters.
"A recommendation by Chief Exam
liner Ellis A. Yost that new local
station be authorized for that COM
munity is now pending before the
commission. With population of
5000 and with $4,000 others living
within a 50-mile radius, this section
of northern Minnesota is said to be
sorely in need of radio service. The
iron ranges and other mineral de-
posits absorb radio signals and pre-
vent good reception of distant
stations, even those of high power, ac-
cording to Yost's finding.
1.-The situation in the Iron Range
region of Minnesota is not unlike that
existing in granite country" of New
England. There are several dead
spots" in the area in which reception
is also VIGOROUSLY poor, because of the
granite deposits which underlie the
territory and impede the travel Of the
radio impulses. To overcome this con-
dition, the Westinghouse company
nearly six years ago linked Station
WBz, Springfield, and WBzA, Boston,
by land wire, on the same channel, in
order to adequately cover this terri
tory. This was the first synchronized
hookup of radio stations.
I'm the case of the Ely application,
Yost recommended that new station
to operate with 100 watts at night
and $50 watts daylight be assigned to
Jacob L. Pete, the applicant. The
station will share time with Station
KGDE, Fergus Falls, Mimi, which is
willing to relinguish portion of its
time on the air to provide service for
Ely and its environS."

TOO often the woman who Is
l. trying TO reduce her weight
by dieting accepts party invita-
tions with feeling of dissatisfac-
tion and hesitancy. She realizes
that she may offend her hostess
II she fails to partake of the rich,
party" yiands usually served. and
at the same time she knows that
If she does eat she breaks her
carefully guarded diet and undoes
the work of weeks OF effort.
But the wise hostess of today
plans her menus with her reducing
friends in mind. She also under
stands that every guest will be
much more comfortable during an
idle afternoon II she has not in
dulged in too rich food for lunch
con. The rich or sweet afternoon
tea spoils the appetite at dinner
time for Everyone.
There are few general sugges-
tiOns the hostess would do Well TO
remember when planning her
spring luncheon menus.
Calories-Beware.
In the first place. take stock OF
the calories. It's the fats. starch
es and sugars that increase the
ealory count. This includes in the
food list all bread-stuffs--par
ulariy hot buttered rolls so pop
ular on the luncheon menus
cream sauces. mayonnaise. whip
ped cream and very sweet desserts
made with yolks of eggs and cake
mixtures. Angel food cake is not
taboo since it's made mostly of
egg whites. which are extremely
low in fat.
Toasted crackers can often take
the place of bread. A soda crack
er is said TO have about one-fourth
as many calories as an unbuttered
piece of bread the same size as
the cracker.
