STATE LEGION
TO. VIRGINIA
1887 State Convention of
American Legion and Auxy
Comes to Range.

At meeting of the state executive
committee of the American Legion held
at Willmar for the purpose of choosing
the location for the 1897 convention,
Virginia was chosen on the ninth ballot
over st. Paul, Rochester, Duluth, Min
neapolis and Mankato which places had
bids for the convention next year.
The dates chosen for the annual
gathering are August Is to Is. The
dates chosen for the 1886 fall con-
ference of post commanders and adj
jutants for November IL and ID at
Minneapolis.
The choosing of Virginia meets with
the approval of the Frank Lozar Posts
of this city. The Ely contingent made
an excellent showing at the Brainerd
convention this year with its float, drum
corps and band. The proximity of the
1887 convention city will give Ely a
chance to further extend itself and
bring our entertainment resources into
full play.

Car With Baggage
Attire Starts Blaze.

Hibbing-A tourist who spread flames
around the Hibbing area remains still
a mystery. AS a group of Hibbing men
visiting at the E. w. Coons farm on
the Iron Junction road the tourist,
bearing out-of-state license plates, drove
up with the baggage on the rear end
of his car afire. Sparks from the burn
ing bags and boxes fell into the dry
grass as he drove, starting small sized
fire. A township crew of men hap
pened to be on the road and were
pressed into service and eXtinguished
the blaze. In the meantime, the Hib-
bling men made futile effort to at
tract the attention of the tourist whose
baggage was afire, but failed. The
tourist gained speed every minute and
faded into the distance. What hap
pened to him, and how many more
fires he started along the road before
he found he was a flaming torch is I'M
known.

GIaring Headlights
Subject of Drive

A new drive against glazing head
lights on the highways has been or
dered by N. w. Elsberg, commissioner OF
highways, according to a bulletin to
the highway patrol. Many complaints
have reached the commissioner, the
bulletin said, that the law is being vio-
lated in all parts of the state. Special
emphasis against one-light vehicles is
being followed by patrolmen.
Nuisance on the highway" will be
the new charge against intoxicated per-
sons found on the state highways, ac-
cording to instructions issued to mem
bers of the state highway patrol by
John P. Arnoldy, chief patrol officer
1t has been found that plain intoxica-
ton is not violation of the traffic
code, Mr.. Arnoldy said, but a charge
of being nuisance which would in
clude and endanger life, is traffic law
violation.

Doctors Declare Rabies
As q Constant Menace.

The fact that it has been 20 years
since anybody died of rabies in Min
nesota is likely to make people careless
about the seriousness of this ever
present menace.
A bulletin on the subject issued by
members of the Public Health Educa-
ton Committee of the Minnesota State
Medical association today calls atten-
ton to the fact that there has been
an epidemic of rabies among dogs in
Chicago this summer and that such an
epidemic may break out in Minnesota
or anywhere else at any time.
Rabies is not necessarily confined to
the hot, dry months, either, according
to the doctors. It spreads more rapidly
during these months because infected
dogs circulate more freely. The dis
ease is always fatal once it develops
either in dogs or in human beings.
That is why it never pays to neglect
dog bite. The original treatment de-
veloped so years ago by Pasteur is still
used with slight notifications and it
can be administered by any physician
The proper procedure is to have the
wound cauterized, in any case, and the
dog placed under observation. If the
dog shows any symptoms of the dis
ease the Pasteur treatment can be
started Immediately. 1t is effective in
SO cases out of 100.
Ten people died a horrible death from
rabies in Ohio in the last II years. All
of these cases were investigated and it
was discovered that either the Pasteur
treatment was never given at all or it
was given after the infection had de-
veloped and then it is always too late

SQUAD SET FOR
SATURDAY FRAY
Coach Buckley's Eleven Raring
to Go Against Biwabik
This Week End.

With a bumper crop of backfield
candidates on hand but needing whole
sale requirements in the line as well
as some capable reserve forward line
men, Coach Edward Buckley, starting
his fourteenth year as coach of Ely
high school athletic teams, is running
a squad of some thirty-odd football
candidates through daily practice ses-
sions in preparation for the opening
game of the season, Saturday at BIZ
wabik, against the team that last season
was undefeated and came through as
co-holder of range honors.
Development of two ends, a tackle,
guard, and capable substitutes, seems
to be the problem of Coach Buckley
after scanning over the list of returning
veterans. Tony Seine, 190-pound tackle,
and Tony Strukel, center, are the only
line lettermen left from last year along
with Joe Horvat, reserve who saw
some action and who seems to have
the qualities to land first string birth
this season. The material from which
to build line is both inexperienced and
light. Some of the leading candidates
for line posts include, Carl Burch, Rich
ard Mcfarland and Albin Mrache, ends;
Albin Grahek, George Tuomela, Bern
ard Thaisen and Joe Grahek, guards;
Stanley Senta, Marvin Theno and Ber-
nard Shikonya, tackles.
-Four backfield veterans, two reserves
and four second team backs from last
season seem to solve the ball carrying
problem very nicely with Patrick OAR
gis, two year fullback; Edward Buckley,
Jr., quarterback, Joe Perko and william
Lovshin, halfbacks, all regulars last
season, available, along with Robert
Hill and Joe Pengal, both of whom saw
action in 1885. Back candidates from
the second team include, Joe Novak,
Fred Petric, Stanley Sustercich and
James Mondati
Other candidates out for the team in
clude: Leonard zupancich, Eugene
Vison, John Zaic Albert Banks, Walter
Jones, Leonard Tomsich and Charles

The state central committee
of the Farmer-Labor party in
ignoring both Governor Peter
son and Senator Lommen, some
what messed up the already
scrambled affairs of the party
insofar as the ranges and ST..
Louis County are concerned.
The only candidate satisfied
with his lot seems to be Ernest
Lundeen over being named
candidate for senator. While
the ranges and st. Louis county
are only a small, but rather i'm
portant part of this great state,
it must be borne in mind that
at the last election, this county
was the stronghold in the cleo
ton of Governor Olson, along
with Ramsey and Hennepin
counties.
The cry of "The King is dead,
long live the King" emitted by
the party on the recent demise
of Governor Olson, the ack-
nowledged head and body of
the party, was a feeble effort
among the faithful to keep the
breath of life in the party.
With the latest move in ignor-
ing stalwarts and sitting poll
teal ambitions of several lead
ers, it looks very much as if the
shakeup is only a dying gasp
and third party ambitions in
Minnesota are a thing of the
past and from now on there
will be scramble to get back
on the old party band wagons.
1t is freely admitted through
out the state that Martin Mel
son will be the choice of Min
nesota for governor. Both the
Farmer-Laborites and the DEM
ocrats admit that politics are
swinging daily more and more
towards the election of Mr..
Nelson and that with the COVER
nor will go the nominees on the

Eggs Play Tricks
On Poor Dairynadn.

Bellingham-Maybe it's a serious case
of Jumping in the egg family
but more likely it seems to be just an
example of queer quirks Mother Nature
can cause. The incident occurred to
H. R. Keller as he was engaged on his
usual routine of picking up eggs and
other dairy products from surrounding
farmers. When he left the M. Linn
farm and placed the canvas over the
trucks contents, everything was in
place. But after driving through a
heavy wind Keller was surprised to dis
cover one dozen eggs reclining on Top
of the canvas. Upon looking under the
covering, he saw that one egg crates
top and the top layers filler had been
blown off and out Of the truck by the
wind, while the eggs had almost been
carried out but had been deposited
gently on their canvas bed. And more
befuddling too was the eggs unbroken

most unanimous against war.

We believe, although some
do not, that the American
Legion universal draft act, con-
scripting money, men and in
dustry, would be a sure pre-
ventative of future wars in this
country. The Legion boys
know the horrors of war and
this mass of loyal citizens are
against it to a man. All are
willing to again risk their lives
to protect this country from
an invasion but to fight on
foreign soil is something else.
The Legion boys also are
Fundamentally in favor of pre-
paredness.
Another clause that should
be added to the universal draft
act should call to the first line
the 100000 or more aliens in
this country, 100000 of which
are on the relief list, according
to late figures. While they
will not become citizens, it at
least is their duty to protect the
land that feeds them. Not a
bad idea, also, is to place in
the first draft all those senators
and congressman who voted for
another war ''for democracy"
along with all their relatives.

Emil Hurja, who analyses
trends for the Democratic ma
tional committee, believes "that
the basis for political utilization
is economic and is determined
by a logical consideration of
personal circumstances" he
told the American Psychol-
ogical association last week.
GAS a whole, political faith is a
lethargic thing and is slow
moving. In local instances,
personal feelings and emotions
frequently play a determining
role. But in a national cleo
ton, with the presidency at
issue, the great mass of the
voters are not prompted by
their emotions"
