Ten Years Ago
From Issue of March 20, 1929.

The Ely basketball team, which repre-
sented the Second Region in the state
tournament last week, lost the state
title by their inability to connect with
the basket on free throws in the game
with Moorhead. However, they re-
turned home with the consolation
trophy and the best record of any team
in the tournament. Two hundred or
more Ely fans in addition to the high
school band kept the audience well in
formed as to the place Ely occupied on
the map.
An A. P. A. message received Monday
morning stated the Ely team took top
honors in both the team aud individual
scoring. The team scored n points, one
more than Moorhead, winner of the
state title. Moorhead had 81 field
goals and IA free throws for rs points
in three games, while Ely made g.
i baskets and Is gift shots in like num-
Der of games. Smrekar, forward, anc
Banovetz, guard, ranked first and Sec
ond, respectively in individual scoring

long way for even a fox to travel but
LaCombe said the last time his dog

VOLTS Jaws Are Strong

The greatest strength of the wolf,
according to the American Wildlife
Institute, lies in its jaws, which are
perhaps more powerful than those
of any dog. They often have cut
through the half-inch manila ropes
used for lassoes on the plains with
one clip. For this reason alone it
is believed by most hunters that no
dog known can single-handed con-
quer full-grown gray wolf.

rather late and when he noticed the
throat irritation he went to the medi-
cine cabinet and took down a bottle.

of much chronic heart injury and a
train of later ills. A regular physi al
check up to discover and control the
beginnings of illness is an important
protection against the development OF
degenerative disease
Heredity undoubtedly plays part in
the development of these diseases, par
ticularly in the development OF dia-
betes, the doctors say, but over-eatiug
and neglect are capable of preci oitating
latent tendencies that might otherwise
be held in check

Program for Rehabilitating Shipping
Compiled and Submitted to Congress

A comprehensive program for
rehabilitating American coastwise
and intercoastal shipping TODAY
was in the hands of congress after
being compiled by the U. S. mari
time commission.
No concrete proposal for opera
ton of steamship line out of
Puget Sound to the Orient was
submitted
Chairman Emory S. Land said
he had received a number of pro-
posals for Oriental service which
he described as practical and
feasible"
Whether they are economically
feasible is something l don't
know" he added
The chief recommendation was
for amendment of the maritime
act to authorize the commission to
accept vessels II years old or over
in trade for new ones. The COM
mission expressed opposition to
any construction or operating sub
sidy for coastwise and micronesia
shipping.
Land explained the commission
would evaluate an old ship and
hold the sum in escrow. When by
depositing cash so that with the
trade-in allowance the operator
has % per cent of construction
cost. he can borrow the remaining
rs per cent from the commission
and a new ship.
1t was estimated that 252 ships
in intercoastal trade were between
Is and 10 years old at the end OF
1887.
Olyd ships accepted by the gov
eminent would be scrapped or held
for use in case of a national emcrg-
ency.
