In the backfield, the situation in the

1.-The greatest sin of the age is the
sin of inertia" said the Rev. Father
James Chisholm in his address at the
Community Center auditorium follow
ing the banquet held in the cafeteria
Of the same building on Monday eve
ming on the occasion of the First Quar-
terly Meeting of the Duluth Diocesan
Council of the National Council of
Catholic Women in this city Monday
and Tuesday.
Father Chisholm spoke on "Today's
ISms" and in his address touched no
the several isms of the present time
| in which he touched on Communism,
Fascism, Socialism, Nazism and Cath
olicism. In outlining the workings of
Communism and FaSciSm, Father
Chisholm spoke of the inertia of the
present time.
1--WE remain in state of quiet re-
pose until aroused by some external
agent" he reprimanded his listeners
who filled the auditorium to capacity,
mot to follow ourselves, but the eX-
ternal agent. Our own indifference is
at the root of all the troubles in the
world
Our obligation is to find the truth"
he continued. IF we cooperate with
one another, We will have peace, and
without peace a maximum of happi-
ness is hard to find"
Catholicism fears Communism more
than any other ism" because it is in
ternational in nature, working for the
overthrow of all religion and all gov
ernmentS except its own, the speaker
said
The Rev Father Frank Mihelcic pre-
sided at the evening meeting in the
auditorium. He introduced the speaker
of the evening with few appropriate
remarks in which he called attention
to the speaker as one who had made a
study of the subject and was able to
instructively present his subject to the
listeners. Mrs. Fleming presented Mrs.
John Herbert of Brainerd to the gath
ering as the oldest member of the
Council
Preceding the address of the Rev.
Chisholm, the American Legion Aux

With Towers scalp tucked safely
under its belt by virtue of 40 to
win at Tower, Saturday, the Ely high
school gridiron machine is fired with
determination to upset potent Eve
leth squad in the first home game of
the current season, Saturday afternoon.
With no one reported on the casualty
list and the experience and self con-
fidence gained through two encounters
polishing off the rough edges on his
green material, Coach Ed. T. Buckley
is rated by the drug store coaches as
having an even chance of turning back
the Eveleth team. One Ely resident,
who saw Hibbing defeat Eveleth in the
latter's field Friday night, 26 to z, pre-
dicted that the Ely-Eveleth game would
be "close" and that the teams were
about evenly matched"
Here is how the two teams will size
I'D insofar as weight and height are
concerned In the line Ely will have
an advantage of four pounds per man
in weight over the Eveleth forward
wall, but the latter will have a three
inch per man advantage in height
Ely linemen average $50 pounds and
5 feet inches, while Saturdays viSi-
tors tip the scales at an average OF
155 pounds and are approximately
feet in height.
William Mills, center who is ex-
periencing his first season as a regular
is the big man, not only on the line
but on the entire squad. He makes the
scales groan at 1875 pounds. The near
est Eveleth can come to matching his
weight is with ITO pound Matt Prim.

Opening Basswood
Refuge to Hunters
Fifty Ely Hunters Discuss
Opening of Wind, Back
Bays at Meeting.
MAY OPEN OCT. 5 OR 6
All Hunting and Trapping
Open if Order Prevails,
Says State Man.

If Back and Wind bays of Eastwood
are opened to duck hunting-and it is
felt certain that they will be-they can
not be opened before Oct. and
several days after the season starts, il
was revealed by Frank D. Blair, super
intendent of game propagation anc
refugees of the state department oil
conservation, at hearing on the mat
ter held Friday afternoon in the Com
munity Center.
1t was also pointed out by Mr.. Blail
to the so persons present that if the
territory under consideration, township
Ga range 10, were vacated from the
state game refuge it would open to al
legal trapping and hunting, including
the taking of deer. This was not un-
derstood here and the petition asked
only for opening the territory to duck
hunting.
According to Minnesota law, terri
tory is either part of a game refuge
or it isn't a part of refuge, Mr.. Blair
stated. IF it is a part of a refuge, no
fire arms can be carried within it with
out special permission and no game
of any kind can be taken. If a section
is vacated from a refuge, it is open to
all legal taking of wild life"
He stated he would recommend to the
commission that the township be va
Gated when no opposition to the move
was voiced at the hearing. If after the
commission reviews the statements fav-
oring the territory it declares the sec
ton no longer a part of the game re-
fuge, notices to that effect would not be
received here before the last of this
week. FIFTEEN days following posting
of the notices, the territory is vacated.
Residents of this locality have long
wanted a good duck hunting grounds
close to home, which was the principal
reason for requesting that Back and
Wind bays be opened. There is large
amount of wild rice there and plenty of
protection for water fowl.
AS one man put it who visited the
section last week: 1.-The ducks are so
fat and heavy they can hardly get off
the water" Ely sportsmen's mouths
water at the prospects of the banquet
that will follow successful hunt.
1t was also brought out that resi-
dents Of the Eastwood territory would
welcome the news that deer could be
taken if the section is vacated.
H. F. Olson of the U. S. forestry office
at Duluth was present and stated that
he considered the opening of the terri
tory would have mo material effect on
the water fowl population" The forest
service would have no objections to the
move, Mr.. Olson felt.

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

The American Federation of
Investors recently made a
study of $50 representative
large corporations involved in
every leading line of business
The total assets of these COM
panies amounted to nearly
S42,000,000,000. Their capt.
tai had been furnished by g.
100000 shareholders, most of
them small investors with less
than 100 shares of stock. Their
total number of employees was
3,171,000 in 1887. In that
year, the companies paid their
common shareholders an aver
age of $1.45 per share.
The tax bill of the companies
amounted to 1892 for each
share of common stock out
standing-close to double as
much as was received by the
companies owners. Figuring
it another way, these $50 typi.
