How are your brakes? If you were to
drive an unfamiliar car you would prob
ably Immediately ask about the condi-
ton of the brakes. Yet we so often step
into our own car knowing full well that
the brakes are not up to standard and
drive the car at an unusual speed.
Where standards have been set the
results of an investigation are usually
surprising. Often half of the vehicles
will not be able to make a stop from 70
miles per hour in 81 feet. In this re-
spect on this particular investigation
the performance of trucks was usually
much worse than that of private vehi-
cleS.
Grease on brake drums, delayed &C
ton on all brakes, and other causes
were responsible for poor brake action
Have your brakes checked regularly
They should be up to standard at all
times. When an emergency arises you
want to be prepared, and you cannot be
prepared with poor brakes.

Annual Convention at Eveleth
Votes Next Years Conclave
for This City.

Ely as a convention city has taken
rapid strides during the past year.
Three large conventions were success
fully held here the past few months
and the manner in which they Jared
has attracted attention to this city as
a convention city.
Next year we will entertain the State
convention of the Moose, usually COM
posed of 300 or more delegates. The
Midsummer celebration of the Finnish
people of the northwest states will
convene here in June. Thousands
usually attend these midsummer fetes,
This gathering was held at Eveleth in
June and highway patrolmen estimate
that over 1000 cars were handled by
them on the day of the gathering.
The Arrowhead convention of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce was
voted for Ely at the annual convention
at Eveleth last week. All the Junior
Chambers of northeastern Minnesota
attend this convention and the MEM
bership is large and representative OF
the younger men of the communities
in which they hold forth.
President Constantine of the local
organization put in an appealing bid
for the convention for Ely next year
and his offer was accepted with a un-
animous vote. The state convention
will be held at st. Cloud the latter
part of this week and Ely will be
represented at this meeting.

David and Charles L. Hill, commissioner

General Wood in his presentation adj
dress praised the youth of the country
and paid tribute to the st. Louis County
youth in the following:
"We know of no movement more
worthy of support and more representa-
tive of youth at it's best than the Al
program" he said. "On paper the odds
against st. Louis county to win the
contest were 5000 to despite the fact
| it is the largest county in the United
States. 1t didn't win because of its size
but because its YOUTH showed aggres-
siveneSs, characterizing the people of
the state. We have found that all
wealth begins with the soil and that
with the prosperity of agriculture will
come the prosperity of the country"
L. c. David accepted the grand prize

and Farm Bureau association, thanking
not only Sears, Roebuck & Co., but also

WILL PRESENT
COURT TRIAL
prisoner at the Bar" by Ely
Churches With 20 Local
People in Cast.

A new type of temperance campaign
ing will be demonstrated in Ely on
Sunday evening, September LIST, when
at a community mass meeting, spon-
sored by the churches of the city in
connection with the Anti-Saloon League
of Minnesota, the popular drama,
Prisoner at the Bar" is to be pre-
sented.
The drama will be given by a cast of
twenty-one local characters, which are
being selected now assisted by DR.. r. N
Holsaple, state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League of Minnesota.
Prisoner at the Bar" has been given
about 40 times throughout the state
during the past year and local pastors
have been informed that it is very un-
usual when the largest church or audi
forum holds the crowd. Instances have
been reported when as many people
were turned away as were able to get
in.
The drama is in the nature of a court
trial and is taken from an actual case
in Iowa where a man was tried fol
killing his wife while he was drunk
Regular court procedure is followed
rules of evidence observed, and ver-
dict is rendered by the jury.
DR.. Holsaple writes that in nearly
thirty years of experience in the tenn
perance movement, he has never found
anything that compares with Prisoner
at the Bar" in its ability to get out
large crowds and at the same time
make a deep and lasting impression up
on the audience.
The cast will be completed in time
to be published in this paper next
week.
There will be no admission charge but
a collection will be taken.

Prexy Mahoney Opposes
Participation in
Berlin Games.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-President
jeremiah T. Mahoney of the Anna
teur Athletic Union told German Of
fcials of the 1886 Olympic Games
by mail today that he is convinced
Jews are being Disseminated
against and that he will oppose
American participation in the
games.
Mahoney, former state Supreme
Court justice, wrote directly to
Theodor Lewald, president of the
German Olympic Committee, that
he had investigated charges of ra-
cial discrimination and found them
true. Even Catholics and Protes-
tants who do not conform to Nazi
political creeds, he charged, are be-
ing harassed from participation in
the games.
The Amateur Athletic Association,
which rules American amateur ath-
letic policies, stipulated in 1888 that
it would consent to participation in
the Berlin games only if there were
no racial discrimination. Mahoney
investigated conditions of the games
in conformity with that resolution
