Certainly II has paid Hibbing in dol
lars and cents 10 advertise as the Iron
Ore Capital, as the home Of the second
largest high school in the world; as the
site Of one of the most complete and
unusual Memorial buildings in the

the most beautiful tourist camp on the
North American continent.
Hibbing this year is enjoying the larg-

This is an exceptionally good tourist
year for Minnesota. A return Of pros

Minnesota advertising, undoubtedly ac-
counts for lush 1857 tourist business.
It is said, however, that there are
resort towns in Minnesota which are
not entirely satisfied with the tourist
business this year. Their increase has
not been been UP 10 expectations
Hibbing's exceptionally good year is

ATTENDS STATE
LEGION PARLEY
Three Musical Organizations
Join Colorful Parade at
Virginia, Tuesday.
$4,000 WITNESS PARADE
Sleepy Eye Wins Drum Corps
Contest; Chisholm Second,
Ely Places Third.

Had the state convention Of the
American Legion and Legion Auxiliary
been held IN Ely, II would not have
attracted more attention than did the
gathering IN Virginia which opened IN
officially Saturday night and closed last
evening after z most successful four
days.
Ely was there in full force and the
road between here and or neighboring
city was lined every day with cars
loaded with Ely people going 10 the
convention The heavy hygiera from
this city took place Tuesday. Tuesday
was the big day OF the convention
parade which saw the streets Of Viz
GINA crowded with interested specta-
TOTS from al parts Of the state.
Il is estimated that outside Of the Ely
Drum and Bugle Corps, the Ely NUM-
cipal Band and the Ely Junior Band,
numbering in al nearly two hundred
people al Virginia 10 see the mammoth
parade which took nearly three hours 10
pass Z given point.
With thi-ty-five or more bands, drum
corps and other musical organizations,
thirty o. more floats and marching
units and colors Of the Legion and
Auxiliary posts Of the state in the line,
the spectacle presented was one Of COM
manding appearance and viii long be
remembered by those who witnessed the
long parade.
Under T. L Trannas rs grand parade
marshal, the line began 10 move al
promptly ? o'clock Not much business
was transacted in the morning the en-
tire attention OF the convention at
tendants and the citizens centering on
the afternoon spectacle, voted the
CroTning feature Of the convention in
the entertainment line.
The Ely Drum corps and bands and
the Ely members Of the Legion and
Auxiliary had prominent places in the
line and our musical organizations were
given their share, and more, Of the
applause 50 generously bestowed along
the line Of march.
The concenSUs Of opinion was, as We
have always maintained, that Ey's
organizations are second 10 none and
that or city has more musical talent
than any other Of its size IN existence.
Not al Of the parade talent Of Ely was
in the line. Our Teenie Vicente Band
Of over hundred could not negotiate
the trip 10 the convention and the rigors
attendant on the long march, and our
singers and musicians not encompassed
in the three bands would have de-
populated the city On Tuesday had they
gone. As il was. the city was consider
ably depopulated.
