DRUM CORPS
CHANGE STYLE
Competition at St. Cloud Proves
Drummers Must Adopt New
Playing Technique.

Considerable discussion has followed
the return of the Ely Drum & Bugle
Corps from the State American Legion
convention in st. Cloud with the third
prize in the drum corps contest.
Some feel that the Ely boys were dis
eliminated against by the judges who
marked. The men of the corps, while
somewhat disappointed, take the result
philosophically and hope for the better
next time
The corps were judged on cadence
with 10 points; inspection, 10; march
ing and maneuvering 30; drums 20;
bugleS 20, and general effect 10, total
ing a possible perfect score of 100. In
all the contests held SO far, we are in
formed by Drum Major Harold Dillon
of the Ely Corps, no perfect score has
been registered.
One judge for each of these divisions
judged his particular division on points
and the totals when grouped gave the
standings of each of the five A-class
corps in the contest, in this class the
entries being Ely, Worthington, Sleepy
Eye and Chisholm.
Thirty-three drum corps were entered
in the contest, the six named above
being the survivors. Sleepy Eye won
the meet with score of 800, closely
followed by Chisholm with Ola; Ely,
87.6, and Worthington, $685.
A popular vote of the crowd on the
sidelines and in the grand stand would
have given the honors to Ely judging
by the applause following every offer
mig of the snappy corps from this city.
Ely scored perfect 100 score for
cadence; "a for inspection; 29.6 for
marching; 1870 for drumming; $50 for
bugling, and SO for general effect.
The judges had been drawn from all
parts of the United States and were
experts in their particular line. The
judge on the drums was system man
and the system used by the Ely boys
was not the one to draw points, occord-
ing to the view of the judge. Seven
points were lost by the drums.
The boys are good losers and claim
that their methods will be changed to
conform with the new ruling before the
next contest. However, the next time
there may be different judge with
different views again.

Big Parade of Sale Days Gets
Under Way; Clothing, Jewelry,
Variety, Drug Stores Join Drive
Ely Enters National Crusade With Mass
Meeting; Buy-at-Home Value to
Community Cited by Firms

The mems and ladies' clothing firms
the variety stores, the jewelry stores
and the drug store are cooperating fol
one week, starting today, to resell them
selves to the people of Ely.
This coming week is "their week" in
the National Salesmen's Crusade, in
augurated here a week ago by the
building and home furnishing industry
with the first of series of four page
advertisements directed at reviving
building in Ely. The cooperative ad-
vertisement of the group being featured
this week will be found elsewhere in
this issue.
1--WE want to impress upon Ely people
the many values that can be obtained
stores, the variety stores, the jewelry
stores, and the drug store" members of
the group state.
"The sales that these stores make
enable them to employ approximately
60 people, with a weekly payroll of
nearly two thousand dollars" they
pointed out. "This money flows into
local channels of trade, and forms a
vital force in maintaining the economic
life of the community.
eff we as group can impress upon
Ely people that money spent with local
firms makes possible jobs for local
people, we will have accomplished our
purpose. Incidentally, we believe that
the purchasers dollar will go just as
far or farther at home as it will else
where"
Plans for the drive of the group
named above were formulated at a
held Monday evening in the
Community Center Cooperating mer-
chants will join the business men al
ready enrolled in the drive in placing
1--WE Are Cooperating" cards in their
windows. On price tags within the
stores and on packages of merchandise
leaving the stores "Sales Mean Jobs"
stickers will be placed. Employees will
wear the "Sales Mean Jobs" buttons.
Merchants who do not have the ma
terial named above can obtain it from
Ray Hoefler, secretary of the Ely Com
mercial club, which is sponsoring the
crusade here.
To make every consumer conscious of
the fact that his purchases make jobs
for many, many people, from the sales
man on the other side of the counter
on down the line to the people who
raise or produce the raw materials is the
keynote of the National Salesmer's
Crusade here.

not only get goods in return for money
SPENT" A. j. McMahan, general chair
man of the Crusade points out, "but
more important you create or maintain
jobs for a number of people. With well
over five hundred cities in the United
States cooperating in this crusade in
time is is bound to have decided effect
on the welfare of the country as
whole"
Ely, it is believed, is one of the
smallest cities in the country to join
the crusade. 1t was inaugurated here
the same week as the Twin Cities drive.

A total of 1923 inches of rain fell here
