THREE CHOIRS
FOR REVIVAL

There are three chOirS, a-chil-
dren's choir, a young peoples
choir and an adult choir, now
furnishing music for the tent re-
vival at the corner of Fleming
and Elizabeth streets, which is
being held under the auspices of
the local Methodist churches.
Mr.. Rankin, the song leader,
met with the children at 5 q. m.
yesterday for practice. He also
gave the young peoples choir a
few words of instruction at the
close of the service last night
The song leader taught the con-
gregatien several new choruses,
two of which are Put God First,
and Into My Heart.
DR.. r. z. Tyler chose for his
sermon subject last night, Gods
Compassion For A Lost World,
using the parable of the lost sheep
in the fifteenth chapter of Luke
as the basis for the sermon.
Many people come into the
world half-damned; their hered-
ity and environment are such
that they have only half chance
in life, the speaker said. "Others
are like the sheep; lost because
they wander away without in
tending to be lost. while very few
deliberately go astray".
Services are held each night al
g o'clock.

No matter what you think
about it, Florida's Legislature ap-
portionment gives the balance of
power, either House or Senate, TO
the little counties. Two-thirds Of
the people are represented,
roughly, by one third of the me1n1
bership in the Legislature. -
what? So the little counties, who
tasted blood back IN 1881, are
forming a united front this year
to stop an attempts to % upset

ton for the purpose of revamping
Florida's organic law so that the

In speaking with the leaders of
the 1889 little county bloc, your
correspondent has been impress
ed with the fighting spirit that
apparently permeates the entire
organization. This outfit, Incl

of the smartest legislators in Ell

has been wheeled into position

unit bill, patterned after Geor-

Florida's 1899 Legislature con-

Eight years ago, a Legislature

twenty-five Years Ago
From Issue of August Fl, 1914.

Judge FeSler on Monday filed an
order denying the motion of the City
of Ely for a new trial of the injunction
proceedings brought against it by the
Oliver Iron Mining company last
March in which time the city was en-
joined from paying more than one
third of the cost of certain street and
sewer construction from the general
city funds. Contractors on the work
were K. S. johnson and D. H. Clough
and company and involved improve
mentS of about $4,000. According to
the city charter, one-third of the cost
shall be paid by the city and two
thirds by specially benefited property
owners. The city ignored this provision
in letting the contract and at the trial
set up that the provision of the charter
was unconstitutional. K. S. johnson,
one of the contractors brought suit last
week to recover $7O7692 due on his
contract when the work was stopped.
The court stipulated that the city shall
not pay to the contractors any money
due or to be done on the work ex-
cept that if the majority of the council
so decide, the city may pay part OF
the money so due but the amount shall
not exceed one-third of the entire
value of the work done.

Safety Division Warns
Motorists to Respect Bikes.

Too many automobile drivers overlook
the fact that bicycle riders are just as
much part of vehicular traffic as is
the person who drives an automobile
or truck on the highway. AS a re-
minder, W. F. Rosenwald, Traffic En-
gineer of the Minnesota highway de-
partment, this week issued war ling
to all motorists to respect the rights
Of bicycle riders on Minnesota high
ways, and treat them the same as they
would fellow motorists.
Under the terms of the uniform
traffic act in Minnesota, bicycles are
governed by the same regulations as are
motor vehicles insofar as concerns obey
ing traffic signals, riding on the right
side Of the road, and signalling left
turns
Motorists all too frequently disregard
the fact that a bicycle is entitled to
the same privileges and the same re-
spect as an automobile or truck, M.
Rosenwald said.
Another habit he characterizeS as all
too prevalent among motorists is the
sounding of horns when close behind
bicycle riders. This habit often con-
fuses or frightens the rider, and there
by creates traffic hazard that is
dangerous to both parties. The law
specifically states that an overtaking
vehicle shall have due regard for the
vehicle overtaken. This applies to BIZ
cycles as well as automobiles.

Soap is Best Preventive
of 10y Poisoning.

Proper instruction and a few simple
precautions will protect most people
from ivy poisoning, according to the
bulletin issued today by the Minnesota
State Medical associations committee
on public health education.
The fact that ivy poisoning is &C
quired along with suntan by so many
vacationists is evidence of ignorance
or carelessness, according to the
physicians. At it's mildest, the poison
ing is diSagreeable, the bulletin de-
clares. At it's worst it becomes serious
illness and the precautions required to
escape it are undoubtedly worth the
trouble.
"In the first place, every child who is
likely at any time to go into the woods
and all Minnesotans contrive at some
time to get off the pavements-should
be taught to know the ivy plant. It's
three leaves and it's low growth are
characteristic, unmistakable and easily
recognized. The plant should not be
touched with uncovered skin at any
time, and care should be taken not to
allow the outer surface of clothing
which has touched the plant to touch
the skin. It should be remembered,
also, that the oily substance on the
plant will penetrate wet clothes with
the water.
I'm the second place everybody should
know the immediate precaution to take
in case he suspects he may have &C
cidentlally touched the plant. The ex-
posed skin surface should be washed
with strong laundry soap and water
and then cleansed with gasoline, away
from fire. Soap paste made by boiling
soap in water to the consistency of
lard may be applied cool for an over
night dressing to make assurance doubly
sure.
1t is possible to immunize against ivy
by a series of treatments. But such
immunization should not be necessary
in the opinion of the doctors, except to
workers who are constantly exposed to
the plant.

PICNIC HELD

at Mckinley Park; Snow
Flowing Discussed.

Township and private roads will not
be worked by snow plows unless road
beds are put in shape this fall, it was
decided at meeting held in con-
junction with the picnic of Fourth
commissioner district county employees
at Mckinley Park, near Tower, Sunday.
Large rocks and other Instructions
must be removed before snow plowS will
be sent in, it was pointed out. The
measure was adopted at the suggestion
of patrolmen. Expensive machines are
often put to great risk from damage
by rocks in blowing private and town.
ship roads, he stated.
1t was also suggested that the county
plows be obtained at the start of
heavy SHOWS and not after roads have
been packed down by repeated trips
over drifts.
Nearly 200 persons were present at
the picnic. A chicken booyah, pre-
pared by Albert G. Sundstrom of
Soudan, was served. The meal was
topped off with ice cream.
Commissioner Jacob L. Pete gave
short talk, pleading for curteous and
prompt service in conducting business
of the county.
