Local Dodge Dealer
Tells of PreUieU
Of NeU 1910 Models

One man whose knowledge of what
new automobiles lot Of motorists will
drive for 1910 is up to the minute,
first-hand and authentic, is Albert
Wiinikainen, and Jim BouSka, Dodge
dealers of this city
Wiinikainen and BoUSka have Just
returned from the Twin Cities where
they participated in field conference
called by sales officials of the Dodge
division Of Chrysler Motor corporation
and attended by a large gathering of
Dodge dealers, and dealers sales and
service executives.
The meeting ha several important
purposes" they report. First there
were interesting reviews of the wide
public acceptance of the 1889 Dodge
models. These reviews were followed
by discussions of sales and service plans
for 1910 and by presentations of adver-
Using, sales promotion and new-model
denomination procedures designed to
acquaint the public with the unusual
attractions of the 1910 Dodge models
II was greatly impressed" they said

meeting, of large numbers of orders
for 1910 Dodge cars that were being
placed not only by the dealers, but by
customers who have still to see the
new cars for which they have already
signed up. I regard this action on the
part of so many motorists significant
tribute to the manufacturers and as a
sign that augurs well for our future"

Junior College Football
Team Swings Into Action
Coach Matt Banks Puts Squad
Through Stiff Workouts
as Opener Nears.

There's plenty of action on the Jun
ior College football front these days
as "a candidates got down to business
under the direction of Coach Matt
Banks.
First scrimmageS were ran off this
week, after several days of bucking the
dummies and general conditioning pre-
liminaries.
With the seasons opener at Hibbing
but little over a week away, Coach
Banks is lining up his heavy artillery
as quickly as possible.
All six of last years high school reg
ulars who were graduated last spring
registered at the college this fall, CIV
ing Ely galaxy of material that will
probably equal any its conference foes
Lead by big Ed Kun, tackle, who
laid low many a high school line in
prep school days, they include John
zaic, tackle, Dale Needing, guard, and
Albert Banks, George Tuomala, and
Leonard Tonsich, backheld men,
Members of George DOC" Edwards
nearly all on deck to give Ely a COM
handing position in the conference
football picture
Coach Banks worries won't be with
his first line offense. It's the shock
troops that will need particular atten-
ton. requirements to fill up holes
caused by casualties will have to be
developed, and with this problem Coach
Banks will have to wrestle long and
hard
Besides the above named freshmen,
Coach Banks has the following men
working on the squad: Paul Dowler,
Matt Mayerla, Bob Hall, John Perko,
Joe Novak, William Loushine, Frank
Povhe, Tony Strukel, joe Pengal, Wayne

gridiron battles. Virginia, Itasca, and
Duluth will all perform on Memorial
field, as attractive a schedule as one
would care to see. Duluth was runner

Ear of Corn Has
Family of Ten.

Ivanhoe-A. C. Widmark of Ash Lake
was displaying one of natures freaks
recently. This time it is an ear of corn,
but it had enough parasitic relatives
attached to it to make a family of 10.
The main ear was about 9 inches long
and completely surrounded by nine
smaller ears, the largest Of which was
about 6 inches in length. The specimen
was of the Wimple Yellow Dent variety
and had been picked on the Widmark
farm by members of the family in
search of roasting ears. Mr. Widmark
reported that the unusual growing
season had produced some rather un-
usual results in a small patch of Rain
bow Flint corn too, where instead Of
one stalk as many as and 9 have
sprouted, and in every direction.
