OUT OF LUCK.

We are in receipt of proposition to
advertise a catarrh remedy and very
liberal payment offered-in catarrh
medicine, says an exchange. Great
Scott! Think of it We sneezers and
sniffers. Just our luck. We are unable
to accept this offer, because we have
no catarrh We have offers every day
for snaps in advertising. Parties write
to us offering dictionaries, harness,
ironing boards, organs, almost every
thing; the offers only requiring one
half cash and the balance in adver-
Using. We never accept the offers.
Not because they are not liberal enough,
but because we can't raise the half
cash. Now comes an offer of ten dol
lars, all in catarrh medicine-no cash.
But see our unfortunate condition.
We have no more catarrh than cash.
We can't use it. Why don't some ad-
vertiSing crank offer us barrel OF
flour, or a mink or beaver overcoat,
for advertising? There is no limit for
the space we will trade for cash. If it
gets colder and the price of coal gets
higher, we may close with the catarrh
man before spring.

CRIBBAGE AND POTATOES.

(By c. c. Peterson IN Grand Rapids
independents
When the cribbage player holds two
cards that together count Is, as 2
and 8, it counts him 2 points. If the
opponent has a and that counts
him points. If they throw them to-
gether in the crib, the two rs and two
8s count II, an increase of 200 per
cent.
"a farmer holds some potatoes that
on the open market bring 20 cents
His neighbor also holds some potatoes
and they also bring 20 cents. But by
throwing them together in a Crib,
mixing some brains with them, they
bring 60 cents. Exactly the same in
crease as in the cribbage hand.
That is the natural result of CO.
operation that co-operates, but human
nature in general has not yet reached
that level. 1t wants to just operate
and let the other fellow do all the ''co''
operating.
The youngster playing See-saw must
stay on the board when it goes down
as well as when it goes up, and when
he is youngster he usually plays that
way. But when he grows up he no
longer wants to stay with the board
when it goes down. When he sees the
other fellow get the best of the bargain.
He then jumps off the board he is on
whether it is a potato-board or egg
board or any other, and jumps on to
some other board that is temporarily
going up. Usually his weight brings
that board down and when he looks
around he finds that they are all down.
when we learn to play the game as
well as the youngster on the see-saw
and there cannot be any cooperation
with out the "co" we have found the
foundation of a successful existence"

ton for the Rotary emblem, the wheel.
After passing through various stages
this evolved as the cog wheel.
Gradually there was evolved by 1916
the Rotary motto Service Above Self
He Profits Most Who Serves Best"
Slowly at first hand and then at the
rate of one to three hundred year,
Rotary clubs were formed in country
after country until today there are more
than seventy countries or geographical
areas in which Rotary clubs have been
established. In the past year there has
been added to this list, Hong Kong.
Poland and the Saar Basin. There is
today chain of nearly $500 Rotary
clubs encircling the world with more
than $4,000 Rotarians.
The Ely Club was organized in May
1921. The formal christening of the
club took place on June 18th of that
year. The charter was presented by
the late Billy West acting for Gov
ernor Kaye. AT this meeting Rotarians
from Virginia, Duluth, Eveleth, Clo-
quet, Superior and Minneapolis were
present. Fifteen names were on the
charter, viz: Geo. T. Ayres. Chas. Ire
IONA, A. j. Thomas, Thos. E. Miller
Jas. Moonan, L. j. White, Jas. I. Laing
H. j. Lockhart, H. E. White, Herb
Kurvinen, Peter Schaefer, John Harch
Geo. l.. Brozich, j. A. Rothman and
D. R. James. Nine of the original
charter members are still active in
the Ely Club. The first officers chosen
were Geo. T. Ayres, president; A. j
Thomas, vice president; L. j. White
secretary; t. E. Miller, treasurer; Jas
1. Laing, James Moonan and Geo. L.
Brozich, directors.
At Wednesday evenings meeting OF

1910, and founded an association, now
known as Rotary International. Paul
Harris became the first president and
Chesley Perry the secretary. Harris is
now president emeritus and Perry is
still secretary, after more than twenty
years.
Within the Chicago Rotary Club
there were developing some of the ideas
and principles which are familiar
everywhere. Paul Harris gave to the
club the name Rotary" based upon
the original custom of holding meetings
in the offices of members in rotation
The founder also devised the classifi-
cation principle of membership, re-
stricting membership in the club to one
man in each distinct line of business
or profession.
When the club grew too large to
meet in members offices, it was pro-
posed to meet at luncheon, or OCCASION
ally at dinner. From the name 'Ro-
tary' and the thought of rotation
among ones friends, came the inspira-

one man from each distinct line of
business or profession. The club would
encourage shop talk" and business
fellowship. Within a few weeks there
was a score of members and the first
of the service" clubs came into exis-
tence.
Inspired by this success, the founder
began to organize clubs in other large
cities. The second club was formed in
San Francisco threee years later and
then in rapid succession clubs were
founded in sixteen of the largest cities
in the country, within the first five
years.
With Chesley r. Perry, young
Chicago librarian and teacher, Paul

Mr. Peter Schaefer,
Editor, The Ely Miner.
Dear Sir: The writer wishes to pro-

valued paper, the removal of Mr.. G. A.
Hoel from the sheriff's Office.
During the seventeen years Mr.. Hoel
has been connected with that office he
has served in the capacity of criminal
investigator and has cleared up many
difficult cases.
There is no question of his ability,
hundreds of our citizens viii attest to
that, and to the fact also that petty

According to the sportsmen
the wild duck is facing ex-
tinction. The drying up of the
duck marshes accounts for this
it is alleged. The ''lame
ducks" became extinct by con-
gressional action. Judging by
the sentiment expressed the
will duck will be sorely missed
while the abolition of the &C
tivities of the "lame" class will
be celebrated. The wild variety
was quite necessary in the
scheme of things and for the
success of poker parties while
the other was just so much
ballast on the ship of state.
