HEAD Of THE LAKES
AUTO SHOW NEXT
AUTO SHOW ON NEXT WEEK IN
DULUTH-ELY USUALLY FUR
NISHES MANY VISITORS.

A solid week of entertainment, edu-
cational and industrial exhibits and
automotive displays is promised Tor
Northern Minnesota, Northern Wiscon-
sin and the Michigan Peninsula when
the 1881 Auto Show opens at the Du-
luth Armory next Monday.
Every make of automobile sold IN
this territory will be on display in a
setting of elaborate color and decora-
TONS New models, special show
models deluxe models and cars show
ing the latest developments in the
automobile industry will be seen at the
show, according to c. R. Dalrymple
executive secretary of the Head OF the
Lakes Automotive Trades Association
sponsor of the show. In addition
there will be interesting exhibits OF
accessories and other new products re-
lated to the automotive line at the
Industrial show which occupies the en-
trance floor of the Duluth Armory
Products manufactured in the territory
will also be on display to stimulate
public interest in locally manufactured
goods.
The importance of the 1881 Auto
Show to the Head of the Lakes and
adjacent territory cannot be over en-
phasized, according to experts. One
fifth of all the iron ore mined in the
United States is used by the automo-
tive industry. 1t is apparent, therefore
that any stimulation accorded the sales
of automobiles as the result of the auto
show will be reflected in return OF
better times on the ranges and
throughout the entire territory tribu-
tary thereto.
In 1881 Auto Shows in other local.
ties have revealed tremendous in
terest on the part of the public in the
new automobiles and accessories shown.
Attendance records have been broken
by most the shows, and the show In
Duluth, with it's unusually sparkling
entertainment, should also break all
records for attendance.
The attendance will be headed up by
a fifteen act vaudeville show made up
Of star acts from some Of the country's
leading vaudeville circuits. It is pro-
claimed by members of the automotive
association, who have seen preview
of the entertainment program, that
the vaudeville show alone is worth
many times the modest admission
charge. Admission entities the visitor
to the entire show.
AS extra features of the entertain
ment program, High School Band
Review will be staged by bands from
Northern Minnesota, Northern Wiscon-
sin and the Upper Michigan PENN
sula. A fashion review will also be
offered by the Duluth Junior League
as another contribution to the enter
tainment. The fashion review will
show the styles in wonen's clothes OF
a hundred years; fifty years ago; the
present and fifty years in the future.
This unusual style show, it is antici-
pated, will bring tremendous crowds
to the Duluth Armory during the Auto
Show.

RED CROSS DRIVE
DROUGHT VICTIMS
ELY's QUOTA OF $1,000 ONLY HALF
CONTRIBUTIONS WISHING TO
GIVE TO THE RELIEF FUND ARE
ASKED TO HASTEN AS THE NEED
is GREAT.

Up to Tuesday night the Ely quota
of 1000 for the relief of the drought
sufferers had been subscribed to the
amount of $508.00, and had beeen for
warded to the Duluth Chapter of which
Ely is a part.
The need for supplies is very acute
and all are asked to send in their dora-
tons as soon as possible. The pros
poets are that the sufferers who are in
dire straits will need be supplied until
after a new crop natures and this
means that the American Red Gross,
which has never failed so far, is ex-
pecting to carry the unfortunates
through this trying ordeal
Chairman Trezona of the local chap
ter two weeks ago sent out letters to
the larger part of the Ely people asking
for help for the Red Gross in the drive
for funds, food and clothing to aid the
unfortunates. He reports that up to
Tuesday night the amount sent to him
amounted to $500 and that the same
had been submitted to headquarters.
He also asks that all those receiving
leCUeIS, dIlSWcI IIlc SesAiiC div 5A'S e&'
much as they can.
Over in Hibbing where the quota Is
$4,000 a report was circulated to the
effect that all those connected with
the organization were paid salary and
that very little went for actual relief.
The gossip got in his deadly work with
the result that someone signing him
self as c. B., wrote for the true facts
which were returned as follows:
Herbert Hoover as president of the
United States, is president OF the
American Red Cross and John Barton
PAYNE is chairman of the central COM
mittee, the governing body composed
of eighteen persons, six Of whom re-
present the federal government. Ma
tional headquarters is located in st.
Louis and San Francisco, and from
these centers the activities of 1858
chapters are directed. All accounts of
the American Red Gross are audited
by the war department, through which
also the annual report of the organi-
zation is submitted to congress.
Chairman Payne, the active head OF
the organization, receives no salary
whatever and in addition pays his own
expenses Nor do any of the officials
in either the national organization or
any of the local chapters receive cent.
The only salaries are those paid for
clerical, research and stenographic
work, and much of that is donated by
persons interested in public welfare.
No organization in the history of the
world has finer record of disintereS-
ted service for humanity than has the
American Red Cross"
