EVELETH JAYSEES
TRIM ELY QUINT
Local Collegians Are Aroused
Too Late in Ragged Game
Here Saturday.

Failure to get started in the first half
during which time they did not score
a goal from the field, resulted in %
to 10 defeat for the Ely Junior College
basketball five at the hands of the
Eveleth JayseeS in ragged and poorly
played basketball game here Saturday.
The defeat for Ely definitely erased
the local quint out of the conference
championship picture while for Eve
leth the victory gave them chance to
tie for the loop title if Virginia loses
a game. However, that means that
Eveleth must win their remaining
games, one with Hibbing scheduled last
night and against Virginia.
Eveleth took an early lead against
Ely and were never headed. The viSi-
tors led to l at the quarter and IL
to at halftime. Ely, unable to con-
meet from the field during the first
half, did all of their scoring from the
free throw line.
The third period produced a better
brand of ball than the entire first half
with both teams counting eleven points
making the score % to 16 going into the
final frame. In the fourth period, Ely
rallied to quickly count three points and
| make the score % to 10. For time it
seemed as if the locals might overtake
the visitors but Eveelth widened the
breach and copied the decision going
away.
Gina was the big scoring punch fol
the visitors with five field goals and
four free throws for total of IA points
Koschak led Ely with eight.

WHAT OTHERS SAYI

Skillings' Mining Review-The state OF
Minnesota is on the tax toboggan ana
the administration at st. Paul either
doesn't know it or doesn't care. Inc
fact remains the same. Minnesota Is
one of the richest states agriculturally
in the Union, and furthermore Is the
richest state in its iron ore reserves.
The unhappy conditions In Minnesota
appear to have had their root In sue
cessful efforts to haze the iron mining
industry, beginning many years ago, and
which have increased with the years.
Greed feeds upon itself, once it gets
a good footing, and in more recent
wears the state has turned its attention,
without in the least relaxing its attack
on the iron mining industry, to all in
dustry and wealth. There can be no
reasonable explanation for such un-
wise and unjust policy. The farmers
have been led to support it because
politicians have appealed to their self
interest, by promising that the iron ore
industry and other industry and capital
will be made to share the greater part
of the tax burden. But the tax to-
began in Minnesota has attained
velocity, and the farmers will be caught
in the expanding area of suction. They
may be the last, perhaps, but their
number is up unless tax policies In
this state change.
Justice or ruin will prevail, and the
present road leads to ruin. There IS nc
ruin quite so thorough and complete as
that which is caused by taxation
There is no thought in administrative
circles in Minnesota, apparently, to en-
courage the expansion Of industry, OF
to induce the coming of new capital fol
investment and to increase employment
The dominant thought of majority Of
the House at st. Paul is how to in.
crease taxes. It is idle to argue, a:
some do, that the same thing is going
on all over the country, for it is no
true. The highest per capita tax fol
state purposes in the United States i
in Utah, and next to Utah is Minnesota
The average tax on all iron ore minet
in Minnesota is IS cents ton. From
1881 to 1884, inclusive, the average ia,
on all ore shipped from Minnesot;
averaged $1.584 per ton.

CHISHOLM MERMEN
EDGE OUT LOCALS
Visitors Avenge Early Season
Defeat by Outsplashing
Ely 43 to 80.

Although they defeated the Chisholm
high school boys swimming team by a
score of 40 to IS earlier in the season,
the Ely mermen were unable to repeat
the trick in a meet held at Chisholm
Saturday, and as result were handed
a 43 to 80 reverse. Swimming in home
waters the Chisholm team captured
the 10-yard free style and 100-yard
back stroke events both of which were
won by Ely in the previous meet.
The surprise of the meet was the
diving of Joe Zaic, who placed second
to Ely's state champion, Joe Grahek
According to Coach Max Herseth, ZaiC
has been making a steady improvement
in his diving all season and will prob
ably make a strong bid for the state
championship honors held by his team
mate. In a recent meet at Hibbing
with Grahek out of the diving COM
petition, zaic captured first place.
Results of the meet Saturday are a.
follows:
D-yard free style-Grahek, Ely, first
Shepich, Chisholm second; Klun, Ely
third.
100-yard breast stroke-Kohrt, CHS

Lindholm, Ely, third.

YIMMY SKUNK had become some
thing of Wanderer. Mrs.
Jimmy had made it very plain
- to him that she preferred his
room to his company in the house
where she was living. You see, that
house had been turned into a nursery
for half dozen black-and-White
babies Jimmy hadn't been allowed
to look at them. He had been told to
go look for another house, if he must
have one in which to sleep. Mrs
Jimmy had made it very clear that
he wasn't wanted around there
Jimmy didn't mind much. No, he

his mind which way to go.
He wandered off somewhat un-

way to go. Really, he wasn't much

turned out of his home. He didn't

feel half as badly as he thought he
did. The truth is that just as soon as
he was used to it he would be glad to
be free to go and come as he pleased,
when he pleased, where he pleased.
Along about this time of year he al
ways has the wandering habit Even
if he had not been turned out of his
home by Mrs. Jimmy he soon would
have left of his own accord.
So Jimmy wandered about where
the notion led him. He spent a lot
of time in and near the Old Orchard.
You know, there are some excellent
sleeping places down under and be-
tween the stones Of the Old Stone
wall along one side of the Old Or
chard. He spent some time under
Farmer Browns barn. Finally he
took 1t into his head to 60 down
across the Green Meadows to the
Smiling Pool. He hadn't been down
there this Spring. Perhaps he could
vary his bill of fare with a Frog or
two.
Now. it happened, just happened,
you know, that the day he chose to
visit the Smiling Pool was the very
day that Old Mr.. Toad and Mrs Toad
were reaching the end of their journey
to the same place. 1t was late in
the afternoon. Old Mr.. Toad and
Mrs. Toad were tired, but were happy

and eager. The chorus from the
Smiling Pool was loud and joyous
and something Of the Joy was in their
hearts as they made their way, hop,
hop, hippety-hop, toward the water.
Pretty soon they would be in it and
Old Mr.. Toad would be taking his
place in that chorus.
They were so near now that they
quite forgot the possibility of dan
ger. They forgot that there was
likely to be quite as much danger at
the end of the journey as at the be-
ginning or half way. They had Just
one thought, and that was to get to
the Smiling Pool just as soon as pos
sible. All those voices from the water
were calling them.
Mrs. Toad was in the lead be-
cause, being bigger, she could cover
more ground at each hop Hop, hop,
hippety-hop, she led the way, and
Old Mr.. Toad wasn't far behind her.
At last she was within a couple of
hops OF the waters edge. And right

The color scheme is black and white
The bill of the male is black, his feet

Streams, pools and small bodies
of water are the places beloved by
these ducks. When the water is clear
the beautiful plumage is reflected
below. If it Is muddy, the color con-
trast between the yellow waters, the
green foliage growing about them and
their black and white livery, is one
the artist loves to paint.
Look at their bills and you can see
they are expert fishermen. That is
one reason their flesh is so fshy in
flavor, though this fact does not keep
sportsmen from killing great numbers
OF them. Seeds, tender stems of
aquatic plants, and roots are also
eaten.
About April. the mother is buSily

her children. 1t is usually in a hollow

The nursery is a coy affair, lined
with soft grasses and leaves, with
feathers and down for coverletS. There
are from six to 10 ivory white eggs
laid sometime in April, the last part
in New York State.
When the mother has to leave her
eggs in order to take her exercise,
find food and take bath, she uses
the down she has plucked from her
breast, to cover the eggs. This not
only hides them but keeps them warm.
If you happen to come across one
OF the tree nurseries and find the
very young children under it, trying
