FOREST UNIT HAS
WOOD FOR SALE
Forest Service Offering Wood
at $1.5O Per Cord at Half
way Ranger Station.

In their work the u. s. Forest Ser
vice has accumulated a considerable
amount of fire wood which they are
offering for sale at the price of 81 so per
cord at the Halfway Ranger Station, &C
cording to r. K. LeBarron, junior
forester
In their instructions to purchasers it
is requested that the purchaser secure
a money order made payable to the
Regional Fiscal Agent at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, and bring it to the Halfway
station. When the wood is hauled it
also must be brought to the station and
measured on the trucks. None will be
measured in the woods.
The hours and days for hauling have
been specified as follows: Monday to
Friday, 800 A. M. to 1900 noon and
/ 100 p. M. to 500 P. M. Saturdays, 800
A. M. to 1900 noon Sunday, 1900
noon to 400 P. M.
The service realizes that limiting the
time may be somewhat of a hardship
to some people but that it is extremely
difficult to administer the sales if
hauling is permitted at all hours

of the Lake Superior district.
Priests of the nationality Of Bishop
Roman have played prominent part
in the pioneering of this section of the
country and the state of Minnesota.
Bishop Baraga, known as the apostle of
the Chippewas, the Rev. Francis Pierz,
the Rev. Father Laurence LautiShar,
the Rev. Father Chebul and our own
and we'll known and highly revered the
Rev. Mons Joseph Buh were among the
early missionaries to the Indians who
labored among the several tribes of the
Lake Superior district.
Bishop Baraga came to this country
in 1880 and labored for 81 years for
the conversion and the civilization Of
the Indians in the Great Lakes dis
trict. He established mission at
Schroeder near Gross River. In 1882 a
monument was erected at Schroeder in
honor of Bishop Baraga and it was this
shrine Archbishop Roman intended to
visit from this city Sunday but the
snow and the cold weather deferred him
from making this trip.
Father Chebul built the first church
in Duluth in 1878 at the site of the
present cathedral.
Father Buh came to America in 1864
and in 1865 made trip in company
with the Rev. Father Pierz into the
wilderness of Northern Minnesota from
Crow Wing to Rainy Lake and the Yer
million Lake regions Father Buh was
the resident priest of Ely for many
years. He died in Duluth in 1922.
In addition to those noted above, the
Slovenes have contributed five Ameri-
can bishops to this country. The great
rank has been conferred on Bishop
Baraga, the first: the Right Rev. Igna-
thus Mrak; the Right Rev. Ivan Vertin
both former bishops of Marquette; the
Rev. Jacob Trobec, former bishop Of
st. Cloud, and the Right Rev. Ivan
Stariha, former bishop Of Lead, S. D.

FARCE COMEDY
ENTER MIR. Patricia" Vehicle
Chosen to Display Talent
of J. G. Thespians.

Next Friday evening, November Is,
Ely Junior College students will appear
at the Washington Auditorium in a
mirth-proyoking farce comedy entitled
ENTER Mr.. Patricia"
This play was written only last year
and is right up to the minute-full of
youth, pep and sparkling dialogue.
It seems that Pat Farnum, none too
industrious, inherits his Aunt Patricia S
beauty shop upon condition that he run
it himself. His fiance objects to
marrying man who spends his time
massaging faces.
Mike Byrd, an ambitious mechanic,
tries his hand at polishing danes" and
Lee Hickey, possessed of business sense,
besides a sense of humor, goes in for
profits in big way.
Azalia White, colored, longs for a
skin to match her permanent straight
"a desire which but echoes the yearn-
ing for beauty that actuates each of
the various women who flock to MIR.
Patricia's" shop-and makes the play
so highly entertaining.
The members of the cast are working
hard to bring the production to the
high level attained by previous ]. c.
plays. In spite of heavy school sched-
ules, they are rehearsing regularly AND
the prospects are that a fine perform
ance will be produced.

minimum of $40 month and a possible
maximum of $85 a month. These go to
all qualified persons without regard to
need or financial status. They are
straight annuities, bought and paid for.
Those Qualified.
Old age annuities will be paid, start
ing in 1912, to persons IS years Of age
and over, who have received at least
81, 1000 in wages after December 81, 1885,
and who have worked at least one day
a year for five years after that date;
that is, have worked in each of the
years from 1887 to 1941 inclusive, or in
each Of any five years between 1887 and
retirement at age IS.
In computing tax on wages and in
determining annuities based on the
total earnings of the employe, wages in
excess of $1,000 for any calendar year
are not counted. The individual is
taxed and his annuity based only on
wages up to $1,000 year, compensation
in excess of that amount being disre-
garded.
Mr. A retires at age IS having earned
less than 5000 in the years prior tc
his retirement, but after December 81
1896.
His annuity will be an amount pei
month equal to one-haf of one per cent
of his total wages. If he had earned a
total of $2,400, he would get $12 g
month.
Example 2.
Mr.. B retires at age IS having earned
more than $1,000 between December 81
1896 and his retirement.
Each month he will get sum equal
to the total Of:
(a) One-half of one per cent Of
$4,000, plus
Cd One-twelfth of one per cent Of
the amount by which his total wages
exceeded 5000 but did not exceed
$4,000 plus
(c) One-twenty-fourth of one pei
cent of the amount by which the tota
wages exceeded $4,000.
Assuming that Mr.. B earned $2,50(
a year for 80 years before retiring al
IS, his monthly annuity would be:
(a) SIS, plus
(b) One-twelfth of one per cent o.
the difference between $4,000 and hi!
total wage of $4,000, which is $3.50.
Mr.. BIS annuity would amount tt
$3.50 a month.
Mr.. B will have paid to the fund
per cent of his salary in 1937-38-39 o.
$75, plus ~ per cent of his salary il
1940-41-42 or $112.50, plus, 2 per CEN
of his salary in 1946-47-48 or $187.5O
plus per cent of his salary for II
years or $3.50, making a total O.
81, 875.
Mr.. BIS employer will have paid ar
equal amount into the fund for Mr.
BIS account, making the total paymen,
to the fund $3.50 over the 80 yea,
period.
Mr. B will receive $3.50 a year for thu
remainder of his life after age IS.
Mr.. B dies before reaching IS, his estate
will be paid 31s per cent of his tota
earnings from December 81, 1886 to tn,
