ELY ON THE THRIFT, INC,
BANKING HONOR ROLL.

Evidence that local school children
have joined the buy now for pros
perity' campaign which is sweeping
the country is shown by the number of
carefully considered Withdrawals of
school bank funds which have occurred
during the holiday season just passed.
All Withdrawals of school bank funds
must be checked by the teachers, who
report that local children were plan
ming to spend their money wisely, &C
cording to the proper tenets of thrift
education of which school banking is
a part.
Notwithstanding their participation
in the prosperity movement, Ely school
children have continued the practice
of making regular weekly deposits in
the school bank In fact, they have
done so well that the city is again on
the honor roll of Thrift, Inc, in re-
cognition of their participation in
school banking.
In the January-February issue of
the Thrift Almanack, just published,
the name of Ely appears at the head
of the list of school systems showing
more than four fifths Of the total en-
rollment depositing weekly in the
school savings bank.

"LIGHTNIN AT THE ELCO
WILL ROGERS AT HIS BEST.

''Lightnin was the stage play that
made the late Frank Bacon famous.
1t centers, you recall, about the Reno
divorce mill and the hotel that's built
across the Nevada California State line.
''Lightnin' has been transferred from
the stage to the screen without losing
one sparkle of its brilliant lines and
to top it off, they've added other lines
that are every whit as good as the
originals.
OF course, the role is a natural for
VIII Rogers. AS the ShiftleSS, WhimSi-
cal, truth-embroidering Bill Jones, he's
a nine-reel screen. Call it the best
role OF his screen career, and you'll
not be far wrong.
The producers backed him up with
as aptly-choSen a cast as has ever
made picture. Louise Dressler as the
wife, and Joel McCrea and George
Cohan's daughter, Helen, as the love
interest, are particularly good
Director Henry King has done
splendid things with the story and as
for backgrounds-well, it still goes to
show that old lady nature is still a
darned sight better scene painter than
the craftiest artists in Hollywood.
If you have something else to do
postpone it and see 'Lightnin' It
will be shown at the Elco Theatre for
three days starting January 18th.

EXTRAORDINARY CAST TO
BE SEEN IN WAR NURSE

What the old-time circus ads would
undoubtedly have described as Gilt

perb Artists" is claimed by Metro
Goldwyn-M Mayer for the cast of ".War
Nurse" M-G-M'S much discussed,
frank, and realistic picture of woman's
part in the war which will open at the
Opera House on January IA, for three
days.
War Nurse" was adapted by Becky
Gardiner from the sensational novel
which created such Juror while it was
running in national magazine
Covering an unusually large number of
characters, divided between war nurses
and soldiers, the casting of the piece
was job of great Importance. M-G-M
executives, feeling the dramatic inn
portance of an effective womans war

carte blanche in the selection of one of

actual life of group of nurses in all

Don't Fall for This One.

There is an old saying that one
should never look gift horse in the
mouth, but the Securities Commission
of Minnesota very properly warns the
public to beware of gifts of unknown
stocks, which may come unannounced,
except that it is "a gift from a friend .
The commission explains that such
gifts may later be followed up by as
sessments and that the company may
be able to collect The commission
suggests that people receiving stock
certificates under such circumstances
should mail them back at once Most
likely the gift certificate is decoy
to be followed up by sales efforts later,
after having primed the recipient with
much alluring propaganda Skillings

MODERN POACHER
RIDES TO WORK

The poacher, like his cousin, the
bootlegger, has gone modern.
Time was when the poacher was a
simple fellow who occasionally bagged
one of the squire's rabbits for his
supper. But the modern poacher or
game hog is often SO prosperous that
he rides to his work in airplanes, auto
mobiles or high-powered Speedboats
which help him to increase both the
amount of his slaughter and the diff
Guilty of catching him, according to
officials of the American Game Pro-
tective association
Officials of the game association
point out that the recent annual re-
port of Paul G. Redington chief of the
United States Bureau of Biological
Survey, declared that strengthening of
the enforcement arm of the law is
vitality needed to cope with this new
type of poacher or game hog
The increasing use of the automobile,
airplane and speedboat by poachers and
wealthy "spoil-sportsmen, Mr. Reding-
ton said, enables them to reach and
leave the hunting grounds before they
can be apprehended, and assists them
in such illicit practices as market
shooting, night shooting and the
sharing of ducks.
Although the vast majority of hun
tiers are sportsmen in every sense of
the word, say officials of the game
association, the few who are game
hogs and preseason hunters are as
dangerous to game as the market
hunter who kills not for sport but for
profit It is this class principally
which makes the automobile and the
airplane major menace to the pre-
servation of the country's game birds
and animals by providing quick access
to secluded hunting grounds, and a
means of removing illegal game unap-
pretended

On This
|: Occasion
D Just q few thoughts by the Editor
. on things Material and Immaterial.

On page five of this weeks issue OF
the Miner will be found the Chron-
ology of the year 1880 in condensed
form compiled by E. w. PickaId a
special writer for the Miner and a
syndicated group of papers. The
Chronology shows many happenings
of International, Foreign, Domestic
Neurology with dates and events, This
page will prove of particular interest
to the reader as many important
events will be recalled to mind which
in the course of time are forgotten or
mislaid in the memory of the ordinary
mortal Much other matter OF I'M
portance will be found on the inside
pages besides the sixth installment OF
1.-The Handsome Man." Read every
line in the Miner, including the adVer-
t:sing.

While the Miner editor was informed
that he should comment on the dolngs
of the county commissioner OF this dis
trict and let the affairs OF the Slx1h
District alone, we cannot help but re-
mark that we are not alone In the
views expressed last week regarding
the harrassing of Commissioner Mur-
raw in his work for the entire county
and not solely for the Sixth Dlstrlct'
The criticism of our remarks came
from one of the disgrunted ones LII
the affected district and from the tome
of the criticism, it was the OPINION OF
the criticizers that Commissioner Muir
raw was the exclusive property OF the
Sixth District and not member OF
the governing body of this great 81
Louis County. We beg to differ Win
this view. Stewart Murray was elected
by the people of his district to repre-
sent them on the county board with a
big ma iority and the fight on his office
is being made by the supporters OF the
opposing candidate who are placing
all kinds of obstacles in his way.
From this distance, it appears very
much as if a mistake is being mace
which will not rebound to the gooo
of the district. Monday in Dlstrlce
Court, Judge Grannis evidently also
was of this opinion when de ordered
those who had signed petition 1or
his removal on the grounds OF having
violated the corrupt practice act dur
ing the last election, to mention names,
dates and amounts in detail and not
peneralize. It have been told" ana
'aThey do say is bum evidence and to
place stumbling blocks in an officials
way by general accusations and hear
say stories, is punk method OF help
ing out an elected officers morale IN
irving to straighten out affairs OF his
position which were present when ne
assumed the position and which he
has done his best to correct That Is
the way it looks from this angle and
that is the way we printed the COM
ments.

The little blue green Algae, which
has kept City Chemist Thompson on
the Jump for the past two years, is
the black sheep of the Algae family
and has raised hob with the water sup
ply of the city as we'll as with the
water of many of the lakes in various
sections of the country. Algae are the
microscopic animalcules which form
the green scum on water. Most OF
them are harmless to the fish until
the little blue-green fellow comes
along and mixes with them. Iowa last
year was afflicted and the legislature
has been asked for special appro-
priation to treat the lakes. Here's
chance for the Minnesota legislature to
get busy as several lakes in this state
are affected.

st. Louis County issued more big
game licenses this year than at any
season in it's history. Resident licenses
were issued to 1868 and Is non-resi-
dent licenses. There were $500 more
licenses issued in 1880 than there were
in 1929. St. Louis county license money
sent to the state amounted to S32, 856.75
for resident and $753.75 for non-resi-
dent licenses. These figures go to
prove that the next State and Fish
Commissioner should be a resident OF
the northeastern part of the state.
The other counties in the big game
section also report an extra large sale
of licenses.
