Fishermen Ready for
Opening of Season
Ideal Weather Will Send Forth Hundreds People Angling
for Territory's Famous Fish

Ely followers of Isaac Walton are all
set and ready to go for the opening of
the fishing season, Monday. If good
weather prevails, a good share of the
city's inhabitants will be out sometime
during the opening days.
Resorts report a number of reserva-
lions for the opening days of the
season. A few people from out town
had arrived already this week.
The first rain of the spring which
fell last weekend was not enough to
disturb the lakes to any great extent,
so fishing waters are expected to be
clean and clear for the opening of the
season.
Among the outsiders coming for the
opening week are group of outdoor
writer's from Chicago, among them Bert
Clafflin of the Chicago Herald and
Examiner, who is well known among
resort men here. They expect to arrive
next Thursday. Jacob L. Pete and
Sigurd F. Olson are in charge of ar
rangements for entertaining them.
A writer for the National Geographic
has also written that he will be here
the latter part of this month.
Interest in the Ely territory as a fish
ing and vacation area is evidenced by
the fact that during the past few weeks
rs communications have been received
by Ray Hoefler, secretary of the Ely
Commercial club, asking for informal
ton.
Letters came from II states outside of
Minnesota, including Michigan, Cali
fornia, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Oklahoma, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri,
Iowa, Washington and Ohio.
Monday the season on wall-eyed pike,
.Saugers or sand pike, great northern
pike, pickerel and muskellunge opens
and remains open until February Is.
The daily limit for pike is and Is in
possession; 20 the possession limit on
pickerel and 2 the daily possession
limit on muskellunge

FAT FOR FRYING.

Minnesota lard is an excellent medium
for deep fat frying and cost approx
mately one-third of the price of other
fats this season.
Have fat at right temperature; be-
between $50 degrees and 400 degrees F. is
best for cooked foods. Too hot fat
scorches food before it is cooked, but
fat that is not hot enough allows the
product to soak fat before it cooks
through. Test the fat with a ther-
mometer or lacking that, use cube of
bread. For cooked foods the fat should
be hot enough to brown cube of bread
in 40 to so seconds. If food is I'M
cooked, the bread cube should brown
in 60 to IS seconds.
Drain the food well on taking it from
the fat. Use a heavy iron kettle with
wire basket that fits the kettle. A
long handled fork is convenient for
turning the food.
After frying, clarity the fat by drop
ping in few slices of raw potato, allow
the particles to settle, and pour off the
fat, If the temperature has not been
too high, the fat will not be discolored

Examination for Cancer
Explained by Physicians.

The most important instrument used
by the doctor in the discovery of cancer
is the microscope and immediate use
of this instrument, in any case where
cancer is suspected, is almost as i'm
portant to those who do not have the
disease as to those who do.
This central fact in the control of
cancer and the method of applying it
is explained briefly in the third bulletin
on cancer issued today by the Mime
sofa State Medical Associations COM
mittee on public health education, the
reason being that the doctors hope to
rob cancer examination of any fears it
may have had for people who do not
understand the simple procedure.
Without the microscopic examination,
or, "biopsy," cancer could not be iden-
titled positively, according to the bulle-
tin, until it had grown to such pro-
portions that cure would be virtually
impossible.
The procedure is this: First a tiny
fragment or lump is removed from the
growth. This fragment can be taken
painleSSly if the growth can be reached
easily from the surface. If not the
patient may be given an anesthetic be-
fore it is removed. The specimen of
the growth is rushed to the laboratory
and there it is first frozen, then sliced
to thin silver Z or 8-1OO0ths of an
inch thick, washed in various solutions,
some of which stain it and then exam
ined under the all important micro
scope. If the specimen is not cancer
the pathologist will know it in less
than five minutes. If it is cancer the
necessary treatment can begin, provid-
ing haste is desirable, while the patient

Part of Is Who Quit Forest
Service Project Are Given
Another Chance.

Ely so far has escaped the cut in
WPA rolls ordered by federal authori-
ties for the first of May, according to
information given the Miner by reliable
authorities. There will be no reduction
in the number of men now employed
on WPA projects here.
No cut has been anticipated here,
because Ely has always been far under
supplying its quota of WPA workers.
At the present time nearly all those
employed are married men.
Ely projects have been practically
stripped of single men who have been
transferred to the forest services ERA
project on the Fernberg road. Twenty
one new men were taken out Monday
morning, and among them were part
of the Is who left the project after a
dispute over the Lake county and st.
Louis county wage levels. Evidently
WPA officials had decided to give them
another chance.
The forest service project is set up
to last until July l. Whether or not the
As single men from Ely now employed
there will be transferred to other pro-
jects or temporarily or permanently re-
tired from the rolls is matter of con-
lecture.
Several projects here await govern
mental approval that might absorb
them. They include the school dis
trict's project and a forest service pro-
ject.
The school, if it is permitted to do
so, will continue building the fence
around the tennis court and at the east
edge of the memorial grounds, and
finish the Old High steps.

STUDY THE TIME
PAYMENT PLAN.

A great deal of electric and other
household equipment is sold on the
time-payment plan. This may be a
very helpful way to finance such costly
purchases, if the times of payment and
times at which the family receives its
income coincide.
The time-payment buyer should un-
derstand that the seller is entitled to
and includes an interest charge. Many
rural families, however, receive most of
their income when the crops or livestock
are sold. For such families it is pos
sible, often, to save interest charges en-
tirely by planning to buy for cash when
the money is available.
Two more points which efficient buy
ers take into consideration before start

truth about ADVERTISING

By CHARLES B. ROTH
FLY BY NIGHTS

any minute, always expecting to
have to flee.
The manufacturer or merchant
who advertises, however, serves
notice that he has become member
of the community and society. He
announces that he intends to be your
business friend and to warrant your
patronage.
And you buy from such man with
perfect assurance that you will al
ways get your moneys worth. And
you do.
It's possible for you to go into some
stores and find merchandise which
glib statesmen assure you is ''just as
good"
The fact that even they use adver-
tised items as the standard of COM
parison, is proof enough that they
recognize the permanent power of
the force we call advertising.
You as a consumer get more for
your money if, in all your buying,
you avoid the JEFF Peterses of bust
ness and select whatever you need
from the stores of merchants who
advertise and who sell advertised
goods.
A business organization which
wants to get the most for the money
sets up standards by which to judge
what is offered to it, and in Wash
ington the government has an elab-
crate Bureau of Standards.
You can have your own Bureau of
Standards, too. Just consult the adj
vertising columns of your newspa-
per. They safeguard your purchas-
ing-power, every day of every year.

In any case, if the examination has
been made in time, the cancer can
nearly always be cured either by surgi-
cal operation, radium or x-rays. If the
examination shows that the growth is
not cancer but one of the numerous
types of harmless growths which hold
no threat to life uncertainty is over
and all worries set at rest, for good.
