FARMERS ENTERTAINED
BUSINESS MEN

On Wednesday evening group of
Morgan county farmers entertained
a group OF Morgan county business
men with a banquet and program in
the basement Of the M. e. church.
The purpose of this meeting was an
attempt on the part of this group OF
farmers to acquaint men in other
professions with some of their prob
lens and the aims OF present farm
programs. Also it was brought out
that the problems of both groups
have very much in common and that
no one part of this complicated ma
chinery called society can benefit at
the expense of one other part. 1t
has been felt by the farm group that
much of the disagreement with farm
policies that arise is due to misun-
derstanding and lack of proper in
formation on the part of those who
disagree.
Elmer F. Kruse, chairman of the
Ohio Committee on Agricultural
Conservation was the principal
speaker. About IS guests were
served and they represented every
community in Morgan county.

SATURDAY MORNING

where's my sweater? Won't you
help me look for it, mother? jeans
come to get me to play tennis"
"Now, Helen, you know you haven't
finished cleaning your room! You'll
have to tell Jean you can't go now"
ooh, I'll finish it when I come back!
The courts will all be taken if we don't
go early"
Such a situation, based on the con-
flict between the desire of the mother
to have her daughter attend to her
duties in an orderly fashion, and the
child's natural wish to take advantage
of her holiday, is not unusual. In
many homes the school age children
are expected to help on Saturday morn
ings, but often the amount of learning
that goes on, and the amount of help
that is given the mother, are greatly
lessened because of the absence of any
plan or routine procedure for the child'S
acceptance of responsibilities.
Because child values his home more
if he realizes the necessity for every
ones having a share in making it a
livable place, it is all to the good for
him to have appropriate duties. But
if he is to get anything out of the work,
he must not be allowed to make excuses
to neglect his job whenever he likes.
For this reason there must be care
full planning, first of all, Saturday is
the child's day, when freedom from
school is given him in order that he
may avoid the strain that would result
if he didn't have some time in which
to feel completely care-free. Some
parents do not appreciate the child's
need for this, and are guilty of expect
ing more help than is right. No school
child should be expected to give up his
entire Saturday to helping home, and
up to the age of twelve or so, even to
expect child to work the whole morn
ing is asking too much.
Another thing to think of is, what
other activities, that might be very
desirable for the child, are going to be
omitted or cut down because of home
duties? If Helen needs out of doors
exercise, if tennis is actually more i'm
portant to her welfare than getting
her room in order, why not make allow
ances, and give her some work that can
be done at another time of day? If,
on the other hand, she is using the
tennis as an excuse to get out of doing
what is to her a very distasteful piece
of work, it would be better to try to
find out why she is so uninterested in

Contest Gives Coach Smrekar's
Clan Opportunity to Play
Role of Giant Killer.

The Ely high school football team
will ring down the curtain on the 1899
season in a game scheduled at Gilbert,
Saturday afternoon. Gilbert, who with
Biwabik leads the pack in the race
for the mythical range championship,
will offer Coach Steve Smrekar'S club
the opportunity of turning giant killers.
Biwabik, with four wins and no losses
or ties, apparently has the champion
ship sewed up, with only the COM
paratively weak Aurora club to face.
But the race for second place is wide
open affair, with Gilbert, Grand
Rapids. Hibbing and Virginia all in the
running. None has been defeated but
each has a tie game chalked up against
it.
EIy's battle with Gilbert, which will
also conclude the season for the MeSaba
range team, looms as the decisive game
for second place honors insofar as Gil
bert is concerned. A win for Ely would
be a notable achievement with which
to wind up the season, and it would
push Gilbert out of the second-place
picture.
1t is entirely possible that Aurora
might upset the favored Biwabik out
fit, and in this case the Ely-Gilbert
fray to be played the following evening
will be even more important in deter
mining range champion.
Several star performers on the Ely
club will slip on their mole skins for
their final prep contest. Willie Grahek,
one of the speediest backs in north
eastern Minnesota, and Paul Prola, all
around backfield ace, whose punting
has featured many a contest, will con-
clude their gridiron careers. William
Mills, dependable center, and Andrew
Luthanen, end, are also senior students.
Most of the other team members have
one or more years of competition re-
manning, promising plenty of material
for the 1910 aggregation.
Defeated by Coleraine and Virginia
in two close contests, Coach Steve
Smrekar's club came back in great style
against International Falls here last
week to down the visitors, II to 0, in a
drilling rain before several hundred
fans who braved the icy northwest
wind to watch the game.
Rewarded for their loyalty and en-
thusiasm by a free gate, they saw a
really good football game, much better
indeed than the playing conditions
might indicate.
From the opening minutes when
Willie Grahek, fleetfooted halfback, got
into the clear for a 2O-yard sprint to
midfield and the Falls followed with
a punt that rolled out on the Ely 5-yard
line, the game was packed with plenty
of excitement and thrills
The kick, which placed Ely in its only
tight spot during the entire game, put
the visitors in scoring territory but
nothing came of it.
Ely marked up its first score in the
second quarter when Grahek, on
cutback, ran 25 yards to cross the goal
line. John Novak, halfback, attempted
to run the ball over for the extra point,
