SPORTSMEN MEET
At CHISHOLM
THE INTERSTATE WILD LIFE
CONFERENCE ATTRACTS MANY
ELY DELEGATION RECOMMEND
THE CHANGE IN THE DUCK
LAWS.

Game Wardens Hanson, Gregg and
Linklater and Dr. H. G. Newgord and
Secretary Ray Hoefler of the Ely
Commercial Club, were in attendance
of the Interstate Wild Life Confer
ence at Chisholm which took place on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday under
the auspices of the Chisholm Sports
mems Club.
The officers of the Minnesota Game
Protective League were in attendance
and its president, Sam G.. Anderson of
Hutchinson, Minnesota, presided at the
business sessions The district direc-
tors also were present. Ray Hoefler
was named on the committee on res
olutionS and it was through his per-
Sistency that the duck laws were
recommended for change inasmuch
as the season for shooting in the nor
thern zone had been set back to
December which made it possible for
anyone in this country to take adj
vantage of the hunting. 1t was
pointed out that according to the time
for ducks as set in this country, all
lakes and streams would be frozen
over and that the birds had gone
south. In consequence, there would be
no ducks left for the northern hunter
while the south would be able to
slaughter the birds at will. AS the
season was set py the president, it is
the opinion that President Hoover will
consider the recommendations and set
back the season in the northern states
to give SportSmen show.
Addresses were made by Burney
Maurek, game and fish commissioner
of North Dakota on stocking pleas
ants; Senator Geo. Lommen on game
and fish legislation; DR.. T. Surber,
Minnesota's fish; Leland Melrose of
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
ton on cooperation between the
sportsmen and farmers; Chas. T.
Wagensteen on Federal duck legiSla-
ton; Louis Enstrom, assistant game
and fish commissioner on Minnesota's
conservation needs; Bill Brown, st.
Paul, chief clerk and chairman region
al speakers bureau, Boy Scouts of
America; Judge william j. Archer on
the Arrowhead Country as a vacation
land; H. A. Hamilton of Detroit Lakes
on planting of Aquatic plants.
Tours were made through the schools
and mines and through lake and
forest region which were very much
enjoyed by the delegates. Trap shoot
ing. bait casting, horse shoe pitching,
rifle and pistol shooting and other
contests were eagerly participated in
and parade with bands, drum corps
n everything closed the afternoon
session on Saturday.
A banquet that evening at which DR..
Preston Bradley, president OF the
Izaak Walton League of America was
the principal speaker was followed py
grand ball. DR.. Bradley made one
of the fine addresses for which he is
famous. Sunday water carnival and
boat regatta sponsored by the CHS

HOW SAFELY
Do YOU DRIVE
NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL HAS
DRAWN UP A SET OF TESTS BY
WHICH YOU CAN CHECK YOUR
DRIVING ABILITY.

How we'll do you drive? Probably
not quite as well as you think, but
somewhat better than your wife thinks
you do.
How well does your wife drive? Dc
your children drive safely enough te
warrant your giving them the use OF
the family car?
|, You don't have to go to a lot OF
trouble or any expense to prove these
moot questions. There is a "home
made" examination, and a good one
that will fill the BILL
j. S. Baker, traffic engineer on the
staff of the National Safety Council
has drawn up set of what he terms
standard driving tests compiled from
the licensing examinations of some IL
states. These rules are concise and
direct and they combine the best
features of the different state tests.
Following is the driving test Mr.
Baker has drawn up:
/. Operate your car over two mile
course that will take you through both
business and residence districts
2. Apply both foot and emergency
brakes suddenly.
3. Direct your car across two or
three busy intersections.
4. Make at least two complete stops
in traffic, one in a traffic lane and
another at the curb.
5. Make at least two right and two
left turns.
6. Stop and start going up 10 per
cent grade-that is, 10 feet up in each
100 feet forward.
Z. Turn around between curbs on a
|20 to % foot street, preferably with a
slope of S per cent, pronounced
crown or deep cutters.
g. Run in reverse so feet.
9. Park parallel to curb between two
cars or other obstacles 20 feet apart,
or length of your car plus five feet.
Here's how to check these opera
tions. Consider yourself or your sub
ject as having failed in each of the
nine tests if
/. You show evidence of inexperi-
|ence, poor gear shifting, repeated STALL
ings, poor steering control, too much
speed at intersections, poor judgment
in traffic, excessive use of second gear,
disregard for pedestrians and unusual
nervousness.
g. Either hanu or emergency brake
fails to stop or hold the car properly.
8. You fail to comply fully with re-
quirements of traffic signs or signals
you pass.
T. You neglect to signal with each
maneuver,
5. You cut corners, swing wide, or
fail to signal when necessary.
6. You roll back more than one foot
in starting.
7. You climb either curb or obstruct
traffic to the extent of causing other
vehicles using the road to stop.
8. You weave back and forth ex-
cessively or fail to look behind suf-
ficiently.
9. You touch either vehicles or climb
the curb.
Try these tests yourself some time.
Maybe you won't do SO well as you
might think you would.

MANY CAMPS FOR LIS
AND GIRLS OPENED.

One of the by-prOductS of the tour
ist business which will be more anC
more profitable in years to come is
that new industry embodied in camps
for boys and girls, says H. c. Hotaling
secretary of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Greater Minnesota Association.
Minnesota has boosted camps fol
boys and girls for several years, but
within the last two years many new
ones have been established. This year
according to records of the Ten
Thousand Lakes Greater Minnesota
Association there are Is camps for
girls which are open to the general
public and % camps for boys. Seven
new camps for boys have been opened
this year.
These camps draw boys and girls
from all parts of the nation They
not only provide every kind of recre-
alton under the supervision of ex-
perienced directors, but opportunities
for tutoring are also offered to those
who have to make up school work
during the summer months. In the
average camp instruction may be had
in swimming, diving, tennis, golf
baseball, canoeing, archery, track, tar
get practice and woodcraft. In ad-
dition to most of the above, girls are
offered instruction in art, horse back
riding, dancing and music.
Minnesota is ideally adapted to the
DEVELOPMENT of campS for hOvS and
girls. During the summer season
when boys and girls are out of school
is the most delightful time in Mime
sofa for outdoor recreation. This
means that the possibilities for de-
velopment of summer camps is almost
unlimited.
The growth of camps for boys and
girls will also mean an ever increas-
ing tourist business as parents who
have children in camps in Minnesota
visit them during the summer.

strong Ely team will need all its ball
talent to win. The larger the crowd
and the noisier the rooters, the better
the game. Let's all get out and give

Der of summer visitors from the near
by resorts who will come to the city
for the celebration.

The completion of the sawmill at
February, means much to our neigh
boring city and the lumber industry as
outlined by the Forest Service on the
sustained yield basis. This is a per-
manent industry and one which will
furnish work for about fifty men the
year round besides furnishing an out
let for the settlers in the vicinity for
their forest products, otherwise wasted
in the clearing of their farms The
company at Tower deserves the CO.

terpriSing little city in every detail.

Superior National Forest can supply a
perpetual supply of raw material in
this section for such an institution in
addition to the supply for the Tower
mill. Besides, we could supply a paper
mill with raw material for years to
come. The forestry officials have set
aside blocks Of timber in the Superior
for logging on the sustained yield basis
for period of o5 years. The Cloquet
people are logging one of the units of
supply which will furnish them with
material for the next IL years. At
that time another block will be Sc
cured. When the SIS years are up and
the whole has been cut over on mod
ern forestry plans, the first unit will
again be ready for cutting. The
method is patterned after the Swedish
method and that country now has
more timber than it had before the
plan of the sustained yield basis was
adopted years ago.

On This
Occasion
Just a few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.


Notwithstanding all the pre-county
division love feasts on the Mesaba
range whereat it was decided that
Virginia was to have the county seat;
Bull the county hospital; Hibbing was
to sit Supinely by and waive all
chances for plums as long as the di-
vision would come to pass; Ely and
Tower were to be placed on the black
list for their non-conformity to the
plans made and were to get nothing
which we have always received and
which also would have been our share
in the division move; plans made at
that time are not enjoying smooth
Shedding. We refer to the Buhl hos
pital sale to the county as an auxil-
larry hospital. Every town on the Mes
aba is after this hospital and several
have made very alluring offers. All
are entitled to consideration even after
the poor commission of the county have
recommended the purchase of the
Shaw Hospital at Bull for $4,000 or
$1,000 less than the amount appro-
priated.
For the benefit of the sick of the
county compelled to go to a county
hospital, we arise and recommend
some point on the Vermilion range for
its location. We have the health CIV
ing climate and pure air necessary for
just such an institution. We also have
hundreds of suitable locations on the
banks of our beautiful lakes where re-
cuperation would be rapid amid sur
roundingS highly beneficial to those
afflicted. Sick people need wide open
spaces for successful recovery with
plenty of good wholesome air not
tainted with the heat of the pavements
or the grouping of city buildings. Now
that the towns on the other range
have reSorted to legal methods
against the location at Bull, the
county commissioners can evade the
legal complications by locating the
same on our range.
Further, we would suggest that the
city council of Ely be commissioned to
build it. Take look at our city hall
and its cost. Then figure what kind
Of structure could be built for the
appropriation on some wooded tract
near handsome lake. If the hos
pital is to be for the benefit of the
sick and their rapid recovery, here is
the place to build it. If it is to be
furnished for the purpose of paying
some political debt-any place will do.
Think it over.

To Increase Egg Output
Eliminate Broody Fowls

Not enough attention to the
broody hen problem is given by the
average poultryman.
This neglect is one of the rea-
sons for low production of eggs by
some flocks during the spring,
points ont J. G. Taylor, associate
extension specialist in poultry hus-
bandry at the New Jersey agricul-
tural experiment station.
The practice generally followed
by successful pOultrymen is to con-
fine all br0ody hens to crates or
pens. Each bird is banded with
celIulOid leg band, different color
being used for each month. By leg
banding the broody hens it is pos
sible TO identify them later in the
wear. and eliminate them from the
breeding pen. After bird has two
or three bands she is sent TO mar
ket.
The brOody hens are collected
about twice a week to be confined
to the pens. While thus confined
they are given water. mash and
green feed. This feeding plan puts
them in condition so they will re-
sume production as soon as they
are over their desire TO set.

Worthy of Remembrance.
Our American homes are the
glory of our nation. Our mothers
who gave to the nation lives they
loved more than their own-the
lives of their beloved sons. hus-
bands, brothers, or other dear ones
are our inspiration.
One day of the year for remem-
brance of their sacrifices, their
fidelity. their deeds, Is not indeed
a day lost.
Any movement that deepens
home ties. that inspires better ma
tional life. that makes better sons
and daughters is indeed cOnstruc-
tive. Far be ii from any thought
of maudlin sentiment. And yet

most gracious and epnobling things

which cIings to the words moth

One of the Mothers day celebra-
tion features is "home going" and

too poor or busy at least to write
a message home.
Legislative Approval.
It will ever be to the glory of
America that the first legislation
for the general display of the
American flag as a custom was a
resolution that Miss Jarvis sue
ceeded some years ago in getting
congress to pass.
Through this resolution It is
now the custom for Old Glory to
be displayed annually on Mothers
day (Sunday) from all public
buildings. schools and other suit
able places.
Is il not an inspiring thought
that the mothers of the founders of
our country, the mothers of our
patriots. are thus hOnored by sons
and daughters?
1t hardly seems possible that
Miss Jarvis would undertake more
work, hut she is planning the cree
ton of a tribute to the mothers
and homes of America in Washing
ton. This monument will be one
that will remind you and me of
the "mOthers of our hearts," and
it should be a tribute that will
make the stranger of foreign lands
who may visit the Capital city
think that American homes and
mothers are the nations idol.
This monument will not be for
what some persons may call great
mothers" nor for women seeking
greatness through some ancestral
line. but for your mother and mine.
