Scouts will be organized in this city

s. Chase of Hibbing who was here
Friday in attendance of the overnight
hike Of the Ely Scout troops.
Judge Edwin Toms viii be the skipper

NRA Achievement.

After only three months, during
a period of usual summer lethargy,
NRA shows this record of achieve
ment. Its program has just got
under way. There has passed one
eighth of the 2-year emergency
period. Yet, it is estimated that 1t
has restored steady jobs to 3 mill
lions. Already, in its initial stage,
it has vastly improved working con-
ditions and raised the basic pay of
four times that number in stores
factories, and mines. 1t has brought
employers and their workers to the
same council table for frank dis
cussion of their problems, with .
realization that they are mutual, and
especially that whatever the nature
of the problems, they also concern
the consuming public, upon which
both management and labor depend.
NRA is actually stopping waste,
not only In our business structure,
wherein production costs win be
known to all. but also the waste of
our long neglected natural resources.
The NRA program contemplates
melting frozen credits and hitherto
hard hearts. 1t IS bringing back
confidence to the extent that people
are again buying merchandise with
faith in the future and in them
selves. Nearly millions have n0ti-
fled relief agencies of their new in
dependence And NRA has only
covered the first furiong.
But NRA has done infinitely more.
In enlisting business men and their
customers under the Blue Eagle, all
determined to bring the country out
of the depression, it has promoted a
spirit of solidarity, local and ma
tionaI, the value of which will be
incalcuIable for many years to come
As the President solemnly warned,
This nation cannot subsist half
half boom and half broke" This
fact the American people have come
to realize to an extent unprece-
dented and incompatible in our
history. At time when we were
at our lowest ebb, NRA seeks to
teach our complete interdependence
one upon another. We now know,
from the saddest of all experience,
drawn out over years of hideous
helplessness, that the Presidents ap-
peal for earnest and continuous co.
operation is not TO be given in
spirit of philanthrophy but for our
own salvation.

take OVER
new ROADS
State Will Begin Taking Them
Over on October Is, Com.
N. w. Elsberg Says.

On October Is, the State Highway
Department will start taking over more
than 1000 miles of new routes added to
the trunk system by the last legisla-
ture. In this vicinity this will mean
taking over No. between Tower and
Virginia and the Steel-to-Wheat be-
tween heer and Finland and between
Tower and Cook.
Until next year the highway depart
ment will limit its work on the new
routes almost entirely to snow removal.
it was said by N w Elsberg, highway
commissioner, in announcing the pro-
gram. All county boards have been
asked by the highway department to
put their portions of the routes in
proper condition for winter and to
erect necessary snow fences.
Next year the state viii take over
the entire maintenance of the new
routes. relieving the counties Of all
expense" Mr. Elsberg said This
would have been done this year, but
the shortage of funds in the highway
department. resulting from the cut in
automobile license fees made it i'm
possible
The highway department will do all
in its power to keep the new routes
open this winter. However, We must
have the cooperation of the county
boards in getting the preliminary fall
work done and snow fences in place,
as we have no funds TO undertake more
than the snow blowing operations until
next year. Even the funds for this
purpose are extremely limited, so the
department can only promise to do its
best with what money is available
