most of it's citizens, will be best promoted by strict adherence to the often asserted doctrine of avoidance of European en- tanglements.
 It is a matter of elementary history that the interests of Great Britain in the United States of America, from the settlement of the thirteen col- Onies, have been solely for her own purposes and adverse to the welfare of this land of freedom.
 It was her traditional con- duct, towards the thirteen col- Onies that led to the Revolu- tionary War, the War of 1872, her interference in the Civil War in the interest of the Southern C0nfederacy, and to . great measure our entering the World War.
 The repeated efforts of the Government of the United States in inducing the cessation of trade between citizens of this country and citizens and the Government of Italy in materials and goods which are as much essential to the pres ervation of life as to the con- duct of war, gives the impress sion to millions of American citizens, that the government of the United States of Amer ica is directly interested in the Italian Ethiopian controversy and is aiding Great Britain and her so-called League of Nations in obstructing Italy from pursuing her own meth ods in the solution of prob lems which are peculiar to Italy alone.
 Aside from reasons of senti- ment, on the part of millions of American citizens who are not of English extraction, and therefore disinterested i'm the preservation of the British Em- pire, we are respectfully ex- pressing the sentiment, that de- votion to the United States of America and the uphOlding of its constitution, entitle us as citizens and World War vet erans, to respectfully renew our previous protest with the hope that you will consider same and pursue . policy of disinter- ested neutrality which will not arouse the animosity of the Italian race against the United States of America.
 We believe that. if and when only, which we believe will be a remote possibility without the interference on the part of the United States of America, the European conflict should in- vOlve the naval forces of cOtln- tries other than Ethiopia, then and then only, the interests of the United States of America may require complete cessation of commercial relations by and between our citizens and gov ernment of the United States of America and the citizens and governments of other na- tions who may eventually be- come involved.

A Potato ca Party?''

Regimented potatoes, it is being indicated already
will not be exactly popular article of diet this fall
This will be the fault of the potatoes however, but
of the regimentaton Potato growers cannot sell more
than a few spuds without putting them in government
containers bearing potato stamps exemption from
stamps. But potato growers, who supposedly
to be helped by this procedure not exactly happy
about it. For example, according to recent Interna-
tional News dispatch from Lambertville New Jersey,
in a famous potato region farmers have banded them
selves together an effort defy the potato law
resolution send Washington stating that they in
tend produce such potatoes they wish and to dis
pose of them 5 they deem proper.
The New Dealers put the potato law In what
they termed an effort to help the potato grower
after they had themselves made surplus possible
through cutting down cotton acreage. Some of the
idle land used potatoes The result
will be regimented potato growers, and higher price
for regimented potatoes the As potatoes
are now about the only reasonably priced common
article of diet, the RECOMMENDATION will be more
popular with the housewives than with the growers,
who do not to reduce their sales and submit
potato control.
The def of the potato farmers in New Jersey is
Hkened by some to the Boston Tea Party of old But
the RECOMMENDATION of potato could easily be
Ekened to something much more modern-not in the
United States but in Russia where all farm crops
regmented and government controlled.
Violation of the potato law carries penalty of
fine up to ST 900 for the first oHense and and i'm
prisonment for the second Because of this, defyng
the regimenters going to take real courage if
it is really carried out But at any the guilty
potato bootIeggers can't be sent to Siberia"

Second Arson ATTEMPT
Fails to Destroy Ely
Miner Printing Plant
Fire of Incendiary Origin
Causes $4,000 Damage
to Miner Plant.
FIRE EARLY MONDAY
Thorough Investigation to
be Launched by State
Fire Marshal.

Had 1t not been for the excellent
work Of the Ely Fire Department, under
Chief I. G. Cox, at an early morning
fire on Monday, The Ely Miner build
ing and plant as well as neighboring
structures would today be only a heap
Of ruins.
Fire Of incendiary origin had gained
considerable Roadway in the side wall,
roof and attic of the Miner building
when discovered by Officer Peter
Kocevar who turned in the alarm and
broke into the building under the be-
lief that someone occupied the upper
floor.
The fire evidently was set in the
corner of the back wall where indica-
tons pointed to the removal Of the
outside boards. The opening thus
created acted Like chimney and the
flames shot to the roof and the attic
rapidly. With the strong wind blowing
it looked very much as if the building
was doomed but the department had
three strong streams playing on the
fire almost Immediately after its arrival.
That indications pointed to a fire
bug was evidenced on every hand and
condition. The place had not been &C.
cupied from Saturday evening. A
drilling rain had fallen during the
night and everything ON the outside was
quite damp. The location of the fire
showed that the work was done on the
dark corner of the building. The blaze
was discovered by Officer Kocevar Just
before daylight at $50 and it was
evident that the fire had been set a
short time before.
As we said before, had it not been for
the fine work Of the department the
Miner building would have been
doomed Had the fire gotten out of
the control of the department, there
Is no doubt but what the HasseIblad
and Spreitzer buildings also would have
been in ruins and perhaps others east.
Had this occurred IN all probability
the arson fiend might also have be-
come q murderer His intentions were
TO burn us out and the consequences
would be no matter to him even if
