Of advertising matter designed to pull
trade from Ely to some mail order

Invariably this advertising offers So

Ely's strong showing in the district
tournament has aroused local interest
to fever pitch and marked Coach
Buckleys team as favorite to beat the
big Duluth quint tonight.
Playing a brilliant offensive game
after belated start and scoreless
first quarter, the Ely team won the 9th
district title by defeating Gilbert in the
finals of the tournament at Virginia
Saturday.
With Nicholas and Starkoyich leading
the attack on the basket with 10 and 8
points, respectively, Ely showed some
OF the incest team play of the tourney
while presenting defense that kept
the Gilbert team shooting from far way
out on the court.
The first period ended in a scoreiess
tie with Ely missing three chances to
register via the free throw route.
Gilbert started the scoring In the
second canto when Vucinovich dropped
in free throw. Nicholas counted for
Ely after short dribble on a tip-od
play to make the score to 1. A foul on
the shot gave Nicholas gift toss which
he made good for TO L. Taking a pass
from Stukel, Nicholas again registered
for 5 to Ely lead.
Vucinovich Hoped in a one-handed
shot from the corner to make the score
5 and 8. Starkovich boosted Elys lead
to 6 to on free throw A fast pas
from Golob to Nicholas, who eluded his
guard to break under the basket, made
it 8 to 8. Stupca's two free throws were
good and the count was to s. A lax
Ely defense gave Manella chance to
break down the floor and register for
Gilbert Just before the half ended with
the score TO 2 for Ely.

Better Housing Campaign
Opens In Ely Next Week
Local Committee for Federal
Housing Administration is
Being Formed.

Ely's Federal Housing Administration
campaign will get underway next week
when canvaSsers will start house-to-
house calls under the direction of Post
master Norman Brown, chairman of the
local FILA committee.
Establishment of an FILA Office in the
city hall and the naming of canvassers
and Office employees will be completed
this week by Mr.. Brown and the COM
mittee
Every house in the city will be visited
by the canvasers who will explain the
governments better housing plan and
estimate the amount of painting and
repairing that might be done on each
building. Complete records of the data
compiled by the canvaSsers will be sub
mitted to local contractors and painters
who will assist the home-owner in
negotiating the loan.
Money for the repairing and painting
will be loaned by loaning agencies and
will be guaranteed by the Federal
government. The loans viii be for one
or two years and will bear approx
mately per cent discount interest rate.
The government requires that the
borrower have a steady income of at
least five times the amount of the
monthly payments on his loan. The
loans viii be payable in either Il or "a
equal monthly payments and the pay
ments must not exceed one-fifth of the
borrowers income.
In explaining the loan system, Mr.
Brown cited the example of a home
owner borrowing 500 for one year. The
monthly payments on that loan would
be approximately $40 and the Dor
rover would have TO have a steady in
come of at least SO per month.

TOWER FIRE TRUCK
is DISABLED WHEN
VANDALS SEEK FUN.

Vandals at Tower, our neighbor
city, reached the depth of some
thing or other in practical jokes the
other day when they disabled the
fire truck by pounding the spark
plug points together.
Answering an alarm, the fire
fighters couldn't start the truck des-
pite desperate efforts. It was for
tunate that the blaze was in an out
building and the damage of little
consequence. Had 1t been a resi-
dence or business building, however,
the department would have been
helpless.
Police Chief VIM. Peil made his
regular twice-a-day inspection of
the truck late the night before and
it had funetioned perfectly. Investi-
eating mechanics found the points
hammered together and said the
work could only have been done by
vandals.
Indignation ran high when Tower
residents heard Of the truck and
realized how serious the danger of
the disabled truck might have been
in case Of q major fire. Authorities
are making determined effort to
identify the culprits guilty of the
vandalism

ON THIS
OCCASION
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

Charles E. Adams, special
counsel for the county board,
states that the board has
authority to issue poor relief
bonds without special legisla-
ton or approval of the voters.
He said state law passed in
1888 gives this authority pro-
viding approval of the COVER
nor is obtained. This opinion
was given when the board be-
gan to figure on securing be-
tween $4,000 and 100000
above the tax levy for 1885 re-
lief requirements.
