Ely Failed to Keep Pace
With Fast Gilbert EIeuen

Ely couldn't keep pace with the de-
ceptive attack displayed by Gilbert here
Saturday afternoon, so went down to
defeat, 6 to o, before a large crowd
that braved plenty chilly wind from
the north to watch the last home game
of the season. Failing TO display the
fight and determination marking pre-
vious games, the Ely team, hit by in
juries, folded up during the second half
and had its hands full keeping their
goal line uncrossed without attempt
ing to score themselves.
Three of Coach Ed. T. Buckley's
backield aces, Paul Prola, quarterback
and Albert Banks and Leonard Tom
SIGH, halfbacks, suffering from injuries
hobbled through the game, displaying
nowhere near their usual caliber OF
play.
The lone score came at the end OF
the third quarter At the start of the
second half, Gilbert kicked to Ely. and

Juggling, going to the 12-yard stripe be-
fore being brought down. Kallio
Travelled the II yards to the goal line
on left end sweep. An attempted
pass for the point after touchdown was
incomplete. The quarter ended a few
moments later.
Ely didn't have a chance to score
during the final quarter The locals
kicked to Gilbert following the touch
down, and the visitors reeled off so
yards, from their 80 to the Ely 20-yard
line, before Ely took the ball on downs.
Three plays Melted nine yards, and Ely
punted. A short time later they re-
covered a Gilbert tumble on the Ely
35-yard line, and then lost the ball
two plays later when Gilbert inter
cepted a pass, the receiver being downed
on the Ely 39-yard marker.
Two cracks at the line picked up
four yards and the game ended as Gill
bert received five-yard penalty for
being off side.
A punting duel between Ely and Gill
bert kickers featured the first quarter
with neither team getting into scoring
territory. Just as the quarter ended
Egger, attempting to punt from Ely's
32-yard line, kicked hurriedly as Ely
players swarmed in on him, the ball
travelling but five yards.
Ely took the ball on its 27-yard
marker, and seven plays later, with

Farmer-Laborites gathered in the
Community Center auditorium, Tuesday
evening, to hear addresses by VIM H
Hutala, candidate for state representa-
tive from the sixty-first district, and by
representatives of Senator George H
Lommen and Congressman John T.
Bernard, who were unable to be present
themselves. Andrew Pirtz had charge
of the meeting.
Another rally will be held next Tues
day evening at which time it is ex-
pected Senator Lommen and several
candidates for state Office will be in at
tendance.
Mr.. Hutala outlined two planks in
the Farmer-Labor platform, namely, the
amendment to the homestead eXemp-
ton law that would raise the assessed
valuation of homeSteads from which
the amount Of the exemption will be
computed, and the amendment to the
state old age pension act that would
lower the eligibility age from IS TO
so years and increase the maximum
amount that could De paid pensioners
from S35 to $50.
He displayed card received by a
pensioner informing him that his pen
sion was being reduced from s21 to
SIG monthly because the price of food
had gone down." wnen actually, he de-
clared, the cost of food had increased
in the state with the exception of butter
and cheese.
The reason the average pension is
well below the s35 limit, he stated, is
because the department sis still in the
hands of the Republicans"
In appearing for Senator Lommen,
Fred Gina of Aurora, pointed out that
the reason the Farmer-Labor party was
making drive to elect FL. senators
this fall was because " (the senete) is

people of the state are defeated" The

COOP MEET
c. Crews, Minneapolis, Speaks
on Democracy; Musical
Program Rendered.

1--WE can't have political democracy
until we have economic democracy,
Cecil Crews, Minneapolis, secretary o.
the Northern States Cooperative
League, told approximately 400 people
gathered in the Community Center
auditorium, Thursday evening of last
week, to observe cooperative Month
Mr.. Crews address was preceded BY
a musical program and a short talk BY
j. o. Hall. Mrs. E. Leino introduced
the various persons appearing on the
program.
Through the expansion and partici-
patton of people in the economic as
well as political affairs of the country,
many Of our problems can be solved,
the speaker declared. He believed that
the ballot box would not have a great
deal Of influence on present day prob
lens until the people had a little more
to say directly about their economic
situation.
The cooperative movement, he felt,
both for the manufacture and distribu-
ton of goods operating entirely within
our democratic form of government
would solve many of our economic
problems
Following opening remarks by Mrs.
Leino, the Legion Auxiliary trio sang
two numbers, 'Lebrestraum" by Franz
List, and Prayer Perfect" from
Liebrestraum, with Mrs. Floyd Dun
stan providing the accompaniment.
Members of the trio are Mrs Esther
Nixon, Miss Mary Lambert and Mrs.
Agnes Fogelberg.
Mr.. Hall, who spoke next, used as his
theme the changing international stu
alton. The rise of the dictators, he
pointed out, has brought about a great
change in the handling of affairs be-
tween nations. The old methods OF
diplomacy have gone.
The United States, he declared, would
have to adjust itself to this changed
European situation in order to main
tain its Democratic form of govern
ment.
Mr.. Hall drew three conclusions from
his talks Cd The breakdown Of the
British balance of power in Europe and
its effect on the rest of the world; (2)
Hitler IS not yet through with his ex-
pansion program; CD The Western
Hemisphere cannot escape the conse-
quences of the new European situation
Two violin solos, Indian Concerto"
first movement by Cecil Burlazt, and
Fritz KrieSlerS "Schoen RoSmanin,"
were played by Miss Althea Bush. Mrs.
Violet Lassey, accompanied by Mrs. v.
Koivumah, sang "All for You" by Ber-
tend Brown and italian Street Song"
by Victor Herbert. Miss Ella Siren, al
so accompanied by Mrs. Koivumah,
played two saxophone solos, Romance"
by Thomas and III Bacco' by Arditi.

cational committee of the Ely Cooper
alive association, consisting of Cecilia

Wrong Way Calf Removed
By Caesarian Operation

Dr.. j. E. Thompson last week, in a
CaeSarian operation, removed a calf
from COW belonging to Frank Ander-
son.
The remarkable part Of the story is
that the calf removed was formed ex-
actly the wrong way in every detail
The ribs on the animal were curved in
the opposite direction and the whole
animal was "screwy" according to the
doctor
While the calf was dead, the COW is
getting along fine and will have nc
evil effects from the operation.
Hundreds of people have visited the
Anderson yard where the freak calf was
on exhibition, many coming from the
Embarrass farming district.

Representation on the new set-up of the Republican town committee is being sought from Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson by William L. Cambigue.
