Albert Salvi, Noted Musician,
Heads Brilliant Quintet in
Concert Monday.

Without a doubt, one of the greatest
artists of the world appeared before an
Ely audience that filled the Washington
auditorium to the doors on Monday
afternoon when Alberto Salvi and the
talented quartet travelling with him,
played a concert of classical numbers
to the large and appreciative audience.
Popular airs were played for the en-
cores.
Albert Salvi, known as the worlds
greatest harpist; Caroline Slefron,
flutist; Florence Gindl, violinist; Robert
Alexa, viola, and Alfred Mazzari, cello,
composed the group appearing here
Monday. They are recognized as the
best five on the concert stage today.
Ely would have missed this quintette
had it not been that an open date was
available after their concert at Virginia
on Sunday and they were prevailed upon
to come to this city. The people here
were fortunate inasmuch as the re-
numeration for such bevy of artists
is far more than this city will afford.
The open date made their appearance
here possible.
Salvi and his artists are under the
of Harry CulbertSon, Inc.
of Chicago, and it was through Mr.
Culbertson that they were prevailed
upon to play in Ely in the hopes that
such an entertainment may become
necessary here and that later more of
such artists will visit U.s. This is the
fond hope of the audience who were
privileged to hear them on Monday
through the enterprise of Prof. Frank
". DiNino and Superintendent of
Schools Stanley Adkins The program
given was composed of the following:
Sonata A Quatra, .............L Locillet
violin, Alto, Cello and Harp)
Quartet In D. Major, No. %, Mozart

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The National Safety Council
predicts 37,500 automobile
deaths for this year. Last year
deaths numbered $4,000. Oct
ober of this year saw $3.50 auto
deaths and December is usually
the worse month of the year.
With daylight at a minimum,
icy roads and the highways
filled with Christmas shoppers,
December deaths will be heavy.
According to facts, several
thousand Americans alive at
the beginning of the month are
not going to see 1887 and will
pass out by the auto death
route.

SANTA CLAUS
GETS LETTERS
FROM KIDDIEs
Hundreds of Missives to Good
Old st. Nick Dispatched
by Ely Youngsters.

The mail box placed in the Agnew
Variety Store for the reception of let
ters to Santa Claus contains to date
over a thousand missives and the end
will not be in sight for another week
of two.
All are being dispatched to good old
St. Nick at the North Pole where it is
said he is preparing his packages for
the children of the country and from
where orders left at the store will be
filled as near as possible in order not
to slight any of the young writer's.
The request for toys, sweets and
wearing apparel are numerous and
might inconvenience Santa to deliver
Some are modest and the writer will
be satisfied with but little, SO the letters
state
As samples of some of the requests we
print few in order to see what Santa
Claus is up against. One little girl in
the Pioneer Location says: "I would
like telephone, saxophone, piano and
a set of dishes" Another would like a
typewriter. A young fellow on Harvey
Street thinks a train would be about
right. A Milwaukee Avenue youth wants
an instrument, package of candy and
large game. An East End boy win be
satisfied with a movie picture machine
and two cowboy guns in cases and a
Mickey Mouse wrist watch.
A little girl desires a pair of skates
and a snow suit. Another little girl
wants bracelet and watch, an Uncle
Wiggle game and the Three Musketeers
book. Then there is a request for a
table and chairs, set of dishes, knives
and forks, busting set and some candy
and nuts. A young lady desires a type
writer, tablet, play desk chair, box of
red and blue pencils, history, arithmetic
and reader, dress, morning slippers and
playhouse full of tables, chairs, beds,
etc.
Five-year-old Billy would like a ma
chine gun because I can get a deer
for mother and big truck so 1 can haul
1t home" He also told of his brother.
2-year-old, who wants tricycle. and a
big black dog. He asked for rattle for
his sister as she is too small to play
with doll and buggy.
Boys run strong to guns and detective
stories while girls like dolls with hair
on, Shirley Temple books, snow suits,
jewelry, crayons, etc. The larger
number teH of their own behavior and
all express the wish that Santa is well
and will stay SO.
We are sure that Santa Claus will
appreciate these missives of desires for
the writers and the well wishes for him
self and will do the best he can to fill
every want of the kddies.

Therefore, he decided to make
sacrifice bid of five diamonds.
West now felt certain that North
and South were trying to keep
him from making a game, so he
bid five spades, which North
promptly doubled
Most -emptive bidders fail to
give their partners credit for hold
ing much. South felt that he had
forced his side into hot water, and
that East and West could make
five spades; SO he bid six dia-.
monds, which bought the contract.
Vests opening lead of the king
OF spades was trumped by South
with the three of diamonds. De-
clarer played the king of dia-
n1onds, and West showed out.
The ace and king of clubs were
cashed and a small club ruffed in
dummy. A spade was returned
and ruffed, and then club was
ruffed with the ace of diamonds.
Another spade was ruffed by de-
clarer and then the diamonds were
played out.
AT trick eleven, West was
squeezed. He could not hold the
queen of spades and also protect
the king of hearts. The squeeze
play gave declarer sever odd.

ers falling to the earth, or there
will be here upon the American
scene a new economic order, to
play a growing part in the social
and economic development of
America.
One thing about the co-ops
needs to be clearly borne in mind.
There is nothing of Communism
in the movement. It is, as the
Swedes have said, democracy in
business.
Communism would swallow up
the movement. In fact, this has
already happened in Russia, where
a strong coop movement was
taken away from the people and
controlled by the state, thus wip-
ing out the democratic character.
The coop movement is pushing
ahead in America, in Great
Britain, and in Scandinavia main
ly because these are the countries
of the world that understand de-
mocracy and find it easy to trans
fer it into economic terms.
1t is this, more than anything
else, that gives cooperation it's
Importance and marks it as
movement that may go far.

the politicians are naturally at

of political support. Such men as
Gov. Philip La Toilette of Wis

system based on his Noble County
experience.
A MOTHER important phase of

peared. Churches, long in revolt
over social and economic con-
ditions, have begun to see in the
cooperative movement chance
for pastors to take leading part
in formation of new economic

ing up. In universities and COL
leges all over the country, STU
dents are forming societies to feed
and house themselves. AS they
learn to do this, they absorb the
coop technique and begin to
think about working into the coop
movement when they leave school.
Naturally, as the movement
grows, the problem of efficient
management becomes increasingly
important. The co-ops have been
fortunate in drawing to them
shrewd and capable business men.
Now, facing the problem as the
big one of the future, they are
planning training courses for flu
