The Ely Miner:

The Ely Miner:
just now there is lot of talk about
people going out of town to spend
their money where they think they can
buy cheaper. In the first place, our
Ely merchants are paying high taxes
and meeting high overhead expense in
order to serve their customers in the
way they are accustomed to being
served. They have an overhead ex-
pense Of nearly 20 per cent of their
sales. Bad accounts amount to nearly
as much more. Almost daily they are
asked to contribute to some worthy
community cause. If they are to realize
a fair profit they must sell their mer-
chandise for almost double the whole
sale cost.
And the fellow who pays for what he
buys in his home town must pay for the
fellow who does his trading out of town.
The fellow who trades out of town
and lets his local merchant wait for the
money he owes him is not always the
poor man. There are many who can
afford to drive to another city when
they get their pay checks, buy months
supply and pay the out of town mer-
chant cash for the goods. When those
same people are 'brOke" they go to
their local merchant for credit and then
complain about being charged few
cents more for better quality mer-
chandise.
Spending your money in Ely is help
ing your home town; spending it in
another mans town is helping his COM
munity and hurting yours.
Being confined to the house for some
time this winter, I noticed some gar
ments attractively advertised in mail

Peinovich caught another rebound and
scored to give Bull the game 20 to Is.
The Ely team played their usual fine
defensive game, keeping Bull from close
in shots, while the locals continually
broke through the Bull defense but
missed pot shots that seemed GER
tainties. Two of Bulbs goals were
made from about 20 feet out on the
floor and three of them were center

Buhl was the first to score when
Bukovich Swished in a one-hander from
the side. Lambert fouled Starkovich

tie the score. On neat out of bounds

Miklavcich tied things up at and

Both teams missed shots frequently
in the second period. Bulbs long shots
were nicely covered by Golob and
Stukel on the rebounds while Ely missed
several pot shots. Miklavcich made a
brace of free throws for Ely and Bucka-
vicf1 slipped in push shot for Bull to
make the score and at the half.
/ Lambert counted long shot soon
after the half opened. Nicholas tied it
up with field goal. On a tip-of play
Nicholas and Stukel teamed up with
the latter getting goal to put Ely in
front. Buhl missed several long shots
while Ely muffed three short ones

OF CHILD LAWS
Director of Children's Bureau
Urges Passage of Laws for
Children's Care.

Judge Charles F. Hall, director OF
the State Children's Bureau, IN a
recent communication to the public well
fare committee of the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes and similar committee In
the Senate with regard to bills affecting
care of children in Minnesota said:
1.-THE recent statewide study OF SER
vices to children in our state reveals
startling need for strengthening our
laws which seek to insure the proper
care of children in Minnesota.
1.-THE proposed laws now before the
legislature seeking to provide state
supervision and state subsidy and more
adequate grants to dependent mothers
with minor children under the Mothers
Aid law as well as more adequate pro-
lection for the children whose mental
or physical defects render them I'M
suitable for adoption are of both i'm
mediate and longtime consequences.
"In comparison with the vast amounts
of money involved for direct relief these
provisions may seem of minor impor-
lance. This is by no means true. The
care of our children is of major i'm
portance, especially at this time"
In addition to his duties as director
of the State Children's Bureau, Judge
Hall has served for some time in an
advisory capacity to the committee on
legislation for children. There is nc
person in Minnesota more familiar with
the whole question of provisions needed
for the care of children than Judge
Hall. The specific legislation to which
he referred is embodied in four bills
covering Infant Homes Senate File
No. SOL, House File No. Std; Dependent
and Neglected Children SENATE File
No. 500, House File No. 300; Allowances
Out of State Funds to Assist in the Sup
port of Dependent Children in Then
Own Homes (Senate File No. 499, House
File No. 379); and Allowances II
Mothers for the Support of Dependent
Children in Their Homes SENATE Fix
No. 500, House File No. 1920. The TIVE
latter bills refer to the administration
of and payment of allowances TO
Mothers Aid or mothers pensions in tn
State of Minnesota.
These bills raise issues for whicl
widespread citizenship support is ur
gent. The only way that private citi
zens can become active forces in legis
lative matters instead of passive force
is by direct communication with thei
representatives in the legislature, re
questing support of such measures
are vital, and there is no doubt tina
more adequate provision for the car
of children in Minnesota is vita
matter to every citizen. Tt is ais
a matter for action on the part of thos
who are interested in these measure:

the law would he of general benefit to
the state.
Contending that the situation is one
demanding scientific investigation rather
than mere controversy among hunters,
DR.. Thompson charges in his article
that the principal supporters of the bill
include ammunition companies with
commercial aims. A travelling promoter
of the bill, he writes, has never held a
big game hunting license.
| Warning that the act would simply
serve to sacrifice quality for quantity, -
DR.. Thompson in his article points to
the experience of Pennsylvania in that
states 20-year experiment with the law.
The sex ratio among deer in that state
became so unbalanced that the legis-
lature was forced to enact reverse
law for two years during which time
only does could be taken, the article
says.
The eastern states problem was
brought to a semblance of a solution
only after a scientific Investigation was
ordered to obtain actual facts. DR..
Thompson points out in contending that
the legislature should defeat, the bill
until a like probe of conditions has been
completed in Minnesota by a university
department. -
Complaints of threatened shortage
of deer in Minnesota come only from
outside the deer country, DIR. Thompson
charged He pointed to the fact that
the st. Louis County Club and Farm
Bureau, in a session last winter, adopted
a resolution favoring an open season
every year because the animals were
running root crops.
Characterizing hunters who come
from outside the deer country, particu-
larly southern Minnesota and the Twin
Cities, as 'shead hunters" DR.. Thomp-
son charges in his article that he re-
ceived two requests last season from
those sections asking that he arrange
for the purchase of two deer for
hunters. This is the type of hunter, =

Ray Anderson Fathers
Resolution to Congress.

Representative Ray Anderson of this
district introduced into the Minnesota
legislature a resolution which passed

you're safe ON CONCRETE

AT night the superiority of con-
Acrete becomes most apparent
because of its visibility. Its light

Concrete conforms precisely TO
the formula for the ideal pavement
set up by the International Illumi-
nation Congress of 1928 and by
the Illuminating Engineering
Society in 1884. The importance
ofthis is emphasized by the fact that
the rate of death per accidents A.
higher during hours of darkness.
Concrete, smooth but non-skid,
insures a quick, certain stop even
in the rain. Blow-outs, spring
breakage, steering gear failures,
accidents of all kinds are less apt

Yet concrete is not only safe-it is
more comfortable-it saves in driv-
ing costs-it costs less for upkeep
-snd cost of construction is less
than that of any other pavement of
equal load-carrying capacity.
Early spring months are hard on
Minnesota roads. Frost going out
of the ground leaves many of them
dangerous or impossible.
Concrete roads are safe, spring and
fall, summer and winter. There are
no ruts, no chuck-holes, no frost
boils, no load restrictions.
Tourists follow the concrete. They
shun dark, unknown, unpaved or
poorly paved roads. They know
they will reach their destination
safely on concrete.
