The Arnenians

The present boundaries of Ar
menia, Socialist Soviet repub-
lie created in 1918, in no sense
coincide with the former Armenia,
much of which is now in Turkey.
The ancient Armenia was in Asia
Minor; present-day Armenia is in
Europe. The Armenians are Cau-
casians belonging to the Iranian
group of the Indo-Germanic fam
lily.

General Manager Harrison also talked
over the plans for headframe and
considered the timber and steel con-
struction, with the steel having the
edge.
In all probability the construction of
the headframe will begin as soon as
material can be secured. The electric
wires have been strung for power and a
transformer station erected. The dry
house and engine house also have been
placed in condition for occupancy. At
present small hoist is being utilized to
lower timber for the work in the shaft.
A diamond drill is operating in the
open pit and is drilling the north forty

sinking the hole in a northeasterly di-

Facing another schedule studded with
some of the country's strongest elevens
the University of Minnesota football
team is winding up its preliminary
training this week preparatory to
another national championship quest.
Three times acclaimed national
champions, Minnesota has nucleus of

Season Set in State
From Nou. 20 to rs
Governor Benson Orders
Emergency Season After
Deer Survey.
IL COUNTIES OPENED
All Deer Regardless of Age
or Sex May Be Taken
This Season.

A six-day deer season, from November
20 to Is, inclusive, in II counties and
parts of four others was proclaimed
Thursday by Governor Benson.
All deer, regardless of age or sex,
may be taken in the counties of Cook,
Lake, st. Louis, Koochiching, Pine,

Lake of the Woods, Beltrami, Roseau,
and the northern half of Kanabec, all
Of Cas-, north of the north boundary of
Crow Wing, all of Kittson and Marshall
east of the Sault Ste. Marie railroad
The governor ordered the emergency
season after survey had indicated the
deer population faced possible food
shortage this winter. The survey also
disclosed an over population of deer in
the counties in which this game is
found.
SportSmen are at variance in their
opinion of the move. Many disclaim an
overabundance Notwithstanding the re-
port of the survey while others make
the claim that the open season this
year is nothing more than an oppor-
tunlty to cash in on the license money
SO sorely needed by the present ad-
miniStration.
Again there are those who rejoice in
the open season and in their opinion
such short season should be had every
year. They claim that in this way a
more stable deer supply would be as
sured and the danger of starvation
among these forest creatures lessened.
Game wardens place little stock in
the starvation theory advanced last
year. Several Of the wardens have come
out flat-footed with the statement that

Anyway, oil up your guns and be
ready for the opening of the season on
the morning of November 20.

Spenders Out of Luck
In Lake County Relief

w. o. Lomasney of Section Thirty
chairman of the Lake County relief
board, outlined a policy, which was ap-
proved by the board, to help the
limited amount of relief funds available
and help them go to those really worthy
of WPA relief and direct relief.
Under the new policy for Lake
county, Miss Agnes Hoff, director of re-
lief, has been instructed to carefully
check the records of every applicant as
to the amount of earnings during the
past summer and coming fall.
The sentiment of the board as ex-
pressed was that it is presumptious to
'be expected to care for the families
of those who have earned good money
and spent it as fast as they earned it,"
People are expected to care for their
families according to the board, "by
budgeting their finances when they
have earnings to take care of their
needs because the limited amount of
money available for relief in Lake
county cannot be stretched to care for
the profligate.
eff such people chose to spend their
money for beer and other needless
things when they are working, they
will be faced with the necessity of cur
tailed rations when the time comes
when work is not as plentiful as it has
been during the past year.
"The board will continue to adj
minister relief to bonafide cases where
actual distress is proven and where pro-
fligacy has not characterized their lives
when they were in a position to earn
the necessities of life"

avalanche of eight touchdownS for a
score of So to here Saturday afternoon.
The local eleven showed improve
ment over the game of the week pre-

kicked the extra point to make the
score to o.
A minute later Ely made the score
Is to when Tower put the ball in play
following the kickoff. The visitors first
offensive attempt of the game proved

Ely's 40 and returned the ball 60 yards
for touchdown.
Two more counters were scored by
Ely in the first quarter. The first
came following blocked Tower kick

there Buckley, Perko and Loushin alter
mated to put the ball on the yard line
from where the latter plunged for the
score. Perko hit the line for the extra
point to make the count Ely 20, Tower
0. The other touchdown came late in
the first period when Buckley returned
Tower punt % yards, from his own
30 yard line to the Tower 49, Two plays
later, he scored on a 81 yard jaunt
around end. The blocking on the play
was distinctly good and as Buckley
crossed the goal, Leonard johnson, end,
was alongside, to ward off any would
be tacklers. Score, Ely 26, Tower 0.
The quarter ended right after the next
kickoff.
Numerous Ely substitutes were sent
into the game during the second quar-
ter and although the locals We're slowed
down in the period, they We're not
stopped. Paul Prola, sub quarterback,
for the locals, set the stage for Elys
fifth touchdown when he intercepted a
Tower pass on his own Al. On series
of plays, Ely went to the yard line
from where William Loushin crossed
the line on headlong plunge. Score
80 to o. Ely reserves had their chance
the remainder of the quarter and played
Tower on even terms
With the entire first string in the
lineup for Ely to start the second
half, Ely counted twice during the first
four minutes of the third frame.
