FAME OF ELY SCHOOL SPREADS.

Colleges throughout the country are
recognizing the high ranking pupils of
the Ely schools and are vieing for the
honor of having the graduates attend
their institutions of higher learning.
A letter received by Miss Margaret
McMahan, more generally known as
Peggy" says: From the high school
record, we note that you are one of the
highest ranking girls in your class and
we are wondering if you would be
interested in the scholarship offer from
the College of st. Teresa at Winona.
This offer RENTS the cost of tuition,
5000 each year, for four years"
In other words the college will cut
the fees for tuition to the extent of
5000 for each of four years to Miss
McMahan if she will enroll in the
College for the four year term. The
excellent record in the local schools
made this possible.

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The county welfare board is
bordering the cut of 60 per
cent in the state allotment for
relief in St. Louis County as an
nounced by the state officials.
The state allotment for relief
in this county is only Sal, 889
for the next fiscal year. The
allotment for the last fiscal
year ending June 30, was
$373,46O. The welfare board
was expecting OF least an equal
amount as last year and they
feel that with the cut there will
be a huge deficit in the fund
with greater relief require
ments now existing.

CIVIC CLUB
TO SPONSOR
SALES drive
Commercial Club to Enlist Ely
Business Men in Nationwide
Sales Crusade.

A drive to enlist Ely business and
professional men to back a sales drive
here similar to the National Salesmen's
Crusade movement being inaugurated
in many cities throughout the country
is being sponsored by the Ely Com
mercial club. An organization meeting
will be held in the Community Center,
Friday night, at 7:30 o'clock.
Business and professional men, who
have either goods or services for sale,
builders, contractors, plumbers, paint
erS, ETC., are urged to attend this meet
ing 100 per cent.
THE idea back of the Friday night
meeting is to see if local business men
will get behind the project" Ray
Hoefler, secretary of the club, states.
The decision to promote a sales drive
here and to enlist the support of bust
ness and professional men was reached
at meeting of the public improve
ment and new industries committee of
the club, Tuesday afternoon. Letters
are being mailed out explaining the
purpose of the drive.
Sales can be made today. That is the
challenge to every business man
whether he is selling goods or services.
To set in motion the machinery
necessary to create these SaleS-and
incidentally to create jobs in many
cases-with the power of the entire
business section of Ely behind it is the
purpose of the Friday meeting.
Here is the idea behind the move
ment which is getting sensational re-
suits in the many places that it has
been tried:
The National Salesmen's Crusade
with the slogan "Sales Mean Jobs
is movement, fast becoming nation
wide in scope, to create jobs and give
business in Ely and nationally the squirt
so vitality needed. It is the idea of
George w. Mason, president of the
NaSh-Kelvinator corporation.
Mr.. Mason believes that the sales
men of America (the men and women
who have always written the prosperity
ticket can do more than any other
group of citizens to solve the unem-
ployment problem and make business
better. But to do this, statesmen must
be inspired. They must work harder
than ever.
So Mr.. Mason and his associates, to
test their program, set up shop in
Lincoln, Neb., a city strange to them.
The results were sensational They
proved that inspired and hard working
statesmen could make sales today in
surprising numbers. And they proved
that the public, through newspaper ac-
counts of the crusade, would open their
doors to statesmen and give their pro-
ducts a fair hearing.
Head of one of Americas largest cor
porations, Mr.. Mason went canvassing
himself, rang IA doorbells, had one
door slammed in his face, turned up

Old Settlers Arrange
Program for Annual
Gathering at Tover
Monument Marking 50th
Anniversary of Iron Ore
Shipments Ready.
REUNION SET JULY Fl
J. Adam Bede to Speak at
Picnic; Sports Program
Billed by Group.

LandScaping has performed wonders
for the plot of ground surrounding the
monument erected in 1884 by the YER
million Range Old Settlers association
to commemorate the fiftieth anniver-
Sary of the beginning of shipments of
iron ore from the Vermilion range and
the state of Minnesota in 1884
Besides carpet of velvety green grass
surrounding and covering the eminence
upon which the monument stands, just
south of the Soudan school buildings, a
large number of native and imported
trees from other states are doing fine.
These trees were planted this spring
and already have attained a growth of
six inches for the season. The work at
the monument was in charge of E. j.
Morcom.
The committee has done its work
well and is deserving of much credit
for the beautiful monument erected
under its direction. A varigated stone
base with memorial tablet is topped
with a solid foot wide by 5 # high
slab Of jasper and two pieces of beauti-
full hard ore, weighing several hundred
pounds each, for which the Soudan
mine is famous
A meeting of the committee was held
last week. At this meeting, attended
by all the members, with the exception
of w. C. Sargent of Duluth, it was de-
cided to discontinue the committee.
Present at the meeting were w. P.
Chinn, Charles E. Carlson, Gus Carl
son of Duluth; Thomas Owens of Two
Harbors; E. j. Morcom of Soudan; B.
o. Strachan of this city. In addition
to these members, Horace johnson of
Duluth; Herman T. Olson of Tower,
and P. Schaefer of this city, attended
the meeting.
The committee felt that it's duty had
been done. The Tower school district
had obligated itself to maintain the
memorial, thus removing the worry
from the shoulders of the committee.
The matter of the diScontinuence of the
committee will be discussed at the
meeting on July 81, of the Old Settlers
The group visited the site of the
monument and were more than pleased
with the manner in which the land
Scaping and tree planting had been
done. The stone work, by Louis Garni
of this city, came in for deserved praise
on the part of several of the members
who said they saw in it the work of
craftsman, who had coupled beauty
with endurance in its building.
Arrangements for the reunion are
