There is no doubt but what
we will reach the as million
debt limit fixed by law within
the next Is months. Then it
will be necessary for congress
to raise the ante.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-05-11

At the close of the Civil War
the debt load was two and two
thirds billions and the interest
charge was about "a and one
half millions. In 1914 the in
terest charge on what we owed
was about % millions.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-05-11

was about % millions.
In 1889 the interest charge
had reached the astronomic
sum of one billion and for 1910
it will be / billion so million.
1t was shown that the money
we now pay out in interest
would build 100000 comfort
able cottages costing $4,000
each. The Z billion dollars in
interest we have paid in the
past six years would have built
2,350,000 comfortable homes
for that many families.

 Cantilo announced the investiga- ton after a conference with Presi- dent Roberto M. Ortiz. He said they both agreed ito take the neces- sary steps in defense of the national sovereignty"
 Reports of pro-Nazf activity in the southern part of the country and in Buenos Aires province, circu- lated mostly by left wing newspa- pers, were climaxed yesterday af- terday when the Noticias Graficas, an independent paper, published a copy of what was alleged to be report sent Nov. to the German foreign ministry by Councillor Carl Won Schubert of the German en- bassy here and by the acting head of the Nazi party in Argentina.
 This document said: Patagonia is nobody's land and we are able to annex it."
 The German embassy immediately denounced the document as false and was understood to be preparing communique intended to prove its denial.
 Liberal newspapers have been charging that Nazi propogandists were telling the people they had been abandoned by the government and pointing out the advantages of joining Grmany as colonists.

that his name be withdrawn be-
cause "it has always been the GUS
tom to elect clergyman.
However, the 1923 commissioners
defeated the motion and elected DR..
Baldinger vice moderator. DR.. O..

ground he has been ordained only

HUNTING TROPHIES
USED SUCCESSFULLY
IN BONE GRATING

London = (E) = Walrus tusks,
antlers and other hunting trophies
are being successfully used by
doctors to patch broken bones &C
cording to Doctor Ernest Groves,
Bristol surgeon.
He explained in the Lancet"
how trophies grated to diseased
bones are completely absorbed
and replaced by human bones.
In 1922 he planted into a deep
cavity in boys thigh-bone, a
piece of ivory from walrus tusk.
He said an X-ray examination
in 1889 revealed that the ivory
graft had become covered with a
deposit Of bone.
Doctor Groves used a portion of
stays antler to mend the broken
thigh-bone of "a 45-year -old wo-
man. Three years later the antler
cutting had been completely alb
sorbed by new human bone.
