Outplays Visitors But Couldn't
Produce the Points; Take
Rest This Weekend.

The spectacular march toward the
conference title by the Ely Junior Col
lege was stopped abruptly and I'M
tremendously by Itasca here Saturday
afternoon as Coleraine turned in a Z
to upset to put itself on top of the
pack.
Behind one point as the second half
came up. Ely put on tremendous Of
fensive drive that ripped the Itasca
line to shreds, but couldn't produce a
single point.
Late in the final quarter, Coach
Barney Banks club had the ball on the
Coleraine 5-yard line with fourth down
coming up. Three cracks at the line
had Melted six yards, but not quite
enough for a marker. John Perko,

a place kick, but the boot was low, and
with the attempt went Ely's last chance
at taking the game.
Ely took a big setback in the con-
ference race in losing the game, but all
is not lost, however. Several important
games have yet to be played before first

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

Pump printing and deficit
financing will have to cease,
said the president of the Ameri-
can Bankers Association in a
recent address. The only way
this can be accomplished he
said, is by declaring a mora
torium on radical legislation,
beauracratic excuses and in
dustrial strife. The fallacious
theory that America is through
growing and expanding must be
junked along with the fire.
quently expressed belief that
'the world owes us a living"
The world owes nobody living
and either this country will
tighten its belt and go back to
work in sane manner or sink
back with its people crushed
under a political autocracy.

School Board Adopts
Budget of $41O,12O
at Monday Session
Ground Improvements Hike
Budget $25, 120 Above
Previous Year.
BOARD TO TRIM COSTS
Auxiliary, Fixed Charges
and Bonds Show Drop
From Last Year.

A budget for 1899 totaling $410, 12O
was adopted by the board of education
for school district No. II at a meeting
held Monday evening.
This is an increase over last year of
SIS, 100 Increases in teachers salaries
and the erection of the new stadium,
lighting of the football field, and COM
pletion of the tennis courts were mainly
for the hike
Some apprehension over the greater
budget was expressed by Ben S.
Richards, who stated that it could
hardly be reconciled with the trend
toward decreased enrolment. Richards
pointed out that the day was not far
distant when a turning point toward
decreased expenditure would have to be
instigated, to which other board men,
bers agreed.
Suggested ways of trimming the cost
of operating the district, discussed in
by the board, were eliminating
excess teachers and closing the Winton
school.
The question of obtaining only pas
teurized milk for undernourished
children on the milk list was brought
up. A communication from DIR. Owen
w. Parker, city health officer, pointed
out that in view of the fact that it was
the duty of the board to obtain milk
that was safe or nearly absolutely safe
as possible, pasteurized milk would be
better than raw.
DR.. Parker recommended that only
pasteurized milk be obtained, and stated
that many cities prohibit the sale of
raw milk within their limits.
This year the school is purchasing
1863 half pints daily from Is dairymen
1t was pointed out that only one could
conform with the pasteurizing require
nent. While no action was taken at
this meeting, board members agreed
that such step should be taken at
some time in the future. after all

200 Firemen Attend
Banquet as Guests of
Ely Fire Department
State Fire Marshal Heads
Visitors Representing 20
Fire Departments.
F. YETKA IS SPEAKER
Pensions and Insurance for
Firemen Discussed at
Business Session.

Nearly 200 firemen from northeastern
Minnesota, headed by the state fire
marshal and three deputies and fire
chiefs from many of the departments,
gathered in Ely, Saturday night, for the
get-together meeting of the Arrowhead
Regional Firemen'S association.
A roast turkey banquet, followed by
an address on Pensions for Firemen"
by Frank Yetka, state fire marshal who
is also state insurance commissioner
featured the affair. A short business
meeting was conducted preceding the
dinner.
Aurora and Kinney with seven each
and Gilbert with six, had the largest
delegations present from out of town.
Ely'S 80 members were present in force
to assume the role of hosts for the oc-
caSion. j. A. Rothman, ST., headed the
welcoming committee.
Warning of the difficulties involved
in obtaining legislative approval of
pensions, Yetka stated that passing of
resolutions would not accomplish much.
Plenty of hard work is what's needed,
he continued, and branded lack of
interest on the part of the firemen
themselves in their own welfare as one
of their greatest handicapS.
He urged that any pension proposals
should be properly prepared, outlining
clearly what's wanted, and put before
the legislature in a forceful manner.
At the business session, members of
paid departments, who have their own
pension system, pledged their support
in obtaining pensions for members of
volunteer organizations.
A resolution was passed authorizing
President William Riley, Coleraine, to
appoint a committee of three from the
volunteer and two from the paid de-
partments which will meet preceding
the next get-together of the association
to iron out the pension controversy.
Membership of this committee was
announced at the dinner by Secretary
Earl Yarick, Aurora newspaper pub
Usher, as follows: Assistant Chief A. B.
Olson, Keewatin; W. H. keenan,, Inter
national Falls, and Chief j. B. Ealer,
Proctor, from the volunteer depart
mentS, and Assistant Fire Chief c. D.
Goldsmith, Duluth, and Chief j. H.

tionS.

Schaefer Says u. S. Expects
to Hear Voice of Service
Men on Issues.

One of the most important problems
facing the American Legion today, in
view of the European conflict, is men,
bership, Alvin c. Schaefer, Duluth,
Eighth district commander, told a
group of 100 Legionnaires, business and
professional men, Tuesday evening.
People of America will expect to hear
the voice of the Legion on the grave
isues facing the nation, Schaefer pointed
out to his listeners gathered in the
Community Center cafeteria for the in
stallation of new officers of the Frank
Lozar post, and emphasized the i'm
portance of strong membership in
making it felt.
Warning against propaganda, he de-
clared that advocates of peace at any
price" and 1--WE won't fight under any
circumstances" were not expressing the
American Legion's conception of true
Americanism. He also emphasized that
the Legion should do everything possible
to keep the nation from entering an
armed conflict.
He urged Legionnaires to back the
Sons of American Legion organization
so that the policies and principles of
the Legion would be continued in the
years to come.
Introduced by Toastmaster Edward
T. Buckley, the Eighth district COM
mander, following the serving of din
ner and the presentation of a short
program, installed the new officers
of Post No. 248.
