First National Bank
FLA Mortgage for Ely.

The First National Bank of this city
has been named approved mortgage
for the Federal Housing Administration.
In Minnesota, 480 lending institutions
have qualified to make loans under the
Insured Mortgage Plan, it is announced
by Fred Schilplin, state director of the
Federal Housing Administration.
These institutions, known as ap-
proved mortgages, lend money for the
purpose of building, buying or re-
financing residential construction that
meets the minimum requirements of the
Federal Housing Administration prop
erty standards.
Mr.. Schilplin called attention to the
fact that a person who seeks to take
of the Insured Mortgage Plan
will negotiate with one of these lending
institutions and not with the Mime
apolis Insuring Office direct. These
lending institutions have been furnished
with Federal Housing Administration
blanks and are authorized to accept
applications. Practically all have in
sured mortgage departments where the
inquirer can secure any desired infor-
nation.
Mr.. Schilplin was careful to point out,
however, that general information or
explanation of the plan may be secured
at the Federal Housing Administration

TELLS OF VACATION TRIP.

w. G. Smith Of the Tower News, who
was on his vacation week ago and
made trips over the several routes of
the country in the scenic portion of the
Arrowhead, in last weeks issue tells of
the trip to Ely and then home over the
Ely-Buyck road, in the following:
1--WE were in Ely and took In the
sights there and wound up our trip with
one of the most wonderful trips i'm
aginable, trip over the Echo Trail.
Fffty-four miles of ever changing
scenery. No mountain trails can ex-
coed the ups and downs, around and
back, through towering pines, gems of
lakes in setting of forests, up the
sides of cliffs and a lake possibly far
below us. The conservation camp with
their mascots of bears, canoe trails,
little camp sites beside the road and
the beavers and their construction

Everyone Had a Contract
WIN Not the Dusky Maid.

Dick Powell, star of 1.-THE Singing
Marine" which comes to the State
Theatre, Saturday at midnight, with
Sunday and Monday shows, was just
about the most astonished young man
in Hollywood one day few weeks ago.
1t seems that ever since he and his
wife, Joan Blondell, moved into their
new Beverly Hills home they have been
having difficulties with maids. So one
day they called the employment agency.
A succession of girls of various ex-
perience, references and color applied
for the job. Finally they came to one
who looked as though she would work
out very well.
As the interview progressed, both he
and Joan had just about decided that
they would take the girl. Then the
matter of terms came up.
Came the flooring development! "An'
I wants a six months contract" the
colored girl said. Everybody in Holly
wood has contract, so why shouldn't
I?"

ADVERTISING
Continued from Page One)

some other towns have been some
what disappointed.
Ely has gathered in every year a
good deal of the cream of whatever
tourist business there was. It has done
it by persistent, individual advertising
The individual advertising that Hibbing
has done undoubtedly accounts for a
considerable portion of the annual tour
list trade it is enjoying.
It pays to advertise and it pays to
advertise specifically and individually
to the tourist trade.
Minnesota resorts are multiplying but
many of them are finding it difficult
Ito secure sufficient business to show a
profit in the short season.
There is one resort, not many miles
from Hibbing, a resort with some forty
cabins, which is full from the opening
of the season until it's close It is said
that one cannot even get meal at this
resort without making reservations in
advance
This resort is no more favorably sit
uated than many others, nor are it's
accommodations superior to scores of
others. It is crowded all season be-
cause its proprietor makes a business of
putting out intelligent and unusual and
very personal advertising-at very
considerable expense it is true, but it is
also true with most satisfactory and
profitable results.
Ely is exceptionally situated and it
has for years capitalized, with a great
deal of intelligence, on it's advantage.
Hibbing is very fortunate in the attract
ions it possesses; it can continue to cap
italize on these advantages by continu-
ing the individual advertising which is
now producing such satisfactory results.

Ely Still in Running
For Diesen Safety Gun.

Report of standings in the 1887 Min
neSota Traffic Safety Contest for the
first five months of this year erroneous
ly showed Fairmont as having three
year average rate of AS. The fact is
that Fairmont has had not traffic
fatalities during the past three years
and it's average is, therefore, 90.
That city is still contender for the
cup offered by Judge j. E. Diesen, chair
man of the Carlton County Public
Safety Committee, to be awarded to one
of the three cities, Cloquet, Ely, Fair
mont-that goes the longest without a
traffic fatality. Each of these cities
to December 81, 1896, had gone two full
years in the state traffic safety con-
test without fatality.

200 ccc BOYS
FOREST EYES
Careful Watch From Lofty
Seats Kept for Fires in Is
National Forests.

Perched on high towers, 100 feet above
the ground, 200 CCC boys keep constant
watch over the Is national forests of
the North Central region. AT the first
sign of smoke the forest ranger is i'm
mediately notified by radio or telephone.
Of the 2O5 Lookout Towers in the
region, nearly half are manned by CCC
workers.
The national forests depend on these
boys for their very existence during the
fire season. When smoke is seen from
the top of tower conversation like
the following takes place:
Hello, ranger? A forest fire. It's
in Section Is, Township 80 north, Range
IA east, bearing 143 degrees. Seems to
be on the west shore of Lake Hazel.
Not very large. Smoke blowing little
to the west. Hardwood timber. That's
ALL"
That is all as far as the boy is con-
cerned, except to give occasional reports
on the progress of the fire. But these
young men, many of them from towns
and cities who never saw forest before
they enrolled, are playing the most i'm
portant part in American forestry prac-
tees; protection from fire.
More than 1000 fires were suppressed
last year in the North Central forest
service region and most of them were
reported by CCC boys. Already this
summer more than 1900 fires have been
put out" and again the CCC boys
furnished much of the initial informa-
ton.
Coming into the camps many of these
boys did not know a pine tree from
spruce. They had never seen a forest
map, never climbed lookout tower
and never heard of an alidade, the in
strument they now use to locate fires.
Now they are the first line defense, the
most important link in stopping fires
that have burned, in the past, an aver
age of 40 million acres each year
throughout the United States AN area
larger than the State of Wisconsin.
And while they are reporting the pro-
gress of the fire their camp mates are
on the fire line saving the forests from
extinction.

NEW YORK, August 17.-Between

.PARAGUAYAN COUP
ASCR|BED TO ARMY
Causes of Dissatisfaction
Linked to StaIemate
in Chac0 War.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, August l7-Revo-
lutionary communicates from Asuncion
and statements by Paraguayans in
exile here today attributed the down.
fall of Paraguay's provisional President,
Col. Rafael Franco, to a displeased
army.
Most OF the causes were linked with
the now stalemated Chaco War be-
tween the Impoverished inland re-
public and Bolivia.
An army-navy coup last Friday
forced resignation OF the Franco cabi-
net. Yesterday the reorganization was
completed by appointment of Dr.
Felix Paiva, dean of the University
Law School, to succeed Franco.
Army Dissa tisfied.
Among the causes for the govern
mental switch were the army'S dis
satisfaction over neutral military regu-
lations governing the military status
Of the Western Chaco, its displeasure
over Frances treatment Of Gen. Jose
Felix Estigarribia and its belief that
Franco was not pushing projected agri-
cultural and social reforms.
Franco really began to slip last jan
uary when the Uruguay conference OF
neutralS issued regulations for super
vision OF the zone separating military
lines in the Western Chaco Paraguay
was requested to withdraw troops for
several miles in one section hit when
Franco tried to comply, the men re-
fused stating they would not give up
any ground won during the long Chaco
War.
Dispute Has Lasted Since Then.
Franco and some Paraguayan mill
tary leaders have been In dispute since
that time.
Several weeks ago Franco tried to
send other attachments to the Chaco
from Asuncion to impose his will, but
the officers refused to carry out his
orders. Finally the present Chaco
commander, Lieut. Col Ramon Para
des, who is also chief Of the army,
sent Franco what amounted to an
ultimatum.
This resulted in the resignation Of
his cabinet, then Frances own with
drawal.
Inasmuch as the Chaco conference
has been trying for 4 year without
success to discuss settlement, the
status quo was considered likely to
last possibly for years.

GROUP WILL STUDY
| TAX BILL TONIGHT
Senate Committee Fails to
Reach Accord on Loop
hole Measure.
By the Associated Press.


The Senate Finance Committee
tailed today to reach an agreement on
the administrators tax-loophole lepis-
latlon, already approved by the House
and called special session for 8pm
to resume its study.
Roswell Magill, Undersecretarv O,
the Treasury, explained the measures
provisions at this mornings meetings.
CHAIRMAN Harrison indicated the
committee might report the bill IA
Vorably tonight, clearing the road for
It's enactment before the week end
he ADDED that Treasury experts were
asked to consider minor amendments
which would relax taxation on personal
holding companies deriving 80 per cent
OF their income from oil ROYALTIES.
Such changes were suggested by Sena-
tor Connally, Democrat, Of Texas.
Voted by House, 1870.
The measure passed the House late
yesterday on a standing vote of 173
to 0.
Before joining Democrats in ap-
proving the bill, Republican mem
oers took a few digs at tax methods
which they alleged had been used BY
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt.
Representative Fish, Republican, o,
New York, told the House Mr.. Rooso-
welt, who called tax dodgers such
harsh names, admitted three years
ago at press conference he had
saved taxes by these loopholes."
Representative Treadway, Repuo-
Ican, of Massachusetts,, expressed
alarm over the consequences if all
money earners used the Arrangement
followed by Mrs. Roosevelt in hsv-
ing checks for radio broa beast series
paid directly to a charity organizs
ton. The money was not taxed
Representative Vinson, Democrat
OF Kentucky. replied:
ANY lawyer can see in a minute
that Mrs. Roosevelt's services did not
produce tax liability"
The new legislation contemplates
more rigid treatment of foreign and
domestic personal holding companies
incorporated possessions and personal
talents, nonresident aliens. multiple
trusts and taxpayers claiming deduc-
tons on expensive or losing
business transactions.
Meanwhile, Treasury officials esti-
mated new treaty with Canada, rati-
ned by the Senate last week, would
save American and Canadian investors
several million dollars in taxes each
year.
Hereafter Canadians must paw q |
tax of only per cent, compared With
the 10 per cent paid by nationals of
other countries, on income from in
vestments they have in the United
States, Canada. in return. will levy
only per cent tax against income
to Americans from Canadian invest
ments.
treasury officials hailed the agree
ment as step forward in Canadian
American cooperation in tax matters.
Already, they said, Canada has
helped the Treasury uncover cases
OF tax avoidance by Americans. and
the Treasury plans to give similar
help to Canada.
In cooperation with the State De
partment, the Treasury is studying
plans for agreements with other ma 4
lions, including Canada, providing spe-
officially for the exchange of tax in
formation.
