members were seated around the
long table in the open air for the
ceremony. According to custom.
women were at one end and men
at the other end Of the table. The
distinctive Dunkard dress was not
in evidence, aid the clean-shaven
faces of nearly all of the men told
of departure from old custom.
The women members showed their
church membership by wearing
white caps, and the men were
without ties.
A lesson from Scripture was
read from Corinthians dealing
with harmony in the church. This
may have been in pointed refer
ence to division which rent the
church in twain until recent
months. A period of general
prayer was held in which individ-

noticeable that the women mem
bers remained silent, following the
injunctions Of Paul. Then various
members spoke to the meeting on
the theme of love. Especially af-
fecting was the speech of Uncle
Rob Fields from Kentucky.
After the prayer and short SER
mons, a chapter was read from
the Bible relating the story of the
Last Supper. AS the story pro-
crossed, members acted it out by
washing each others feet and CIV
ing each other the holy kiss. Then
the table was uncovered and the
ritual of the Holy Supper was
gone through.
AS usual, large group of peo-
pie witnessed the ceremony. The
orderliness and sobriety of the en-
tire crowd was worthy of note.
The Cumberland Church is the
only congregation of Dunkards IN
this section. This church belongs
to an association whose churches
are for the most part located in
East Tennessee.

Bobcat Stalks Boy

Earsel C. Edwards, one of the

squirrel hunting in the Breaks
Monday, hearing a slight noise be-

covered a huge bobcat stalking
him. With rare presence of mind
he brought his gun to bear and
fired, the charge killing the ami

nearest settlement for display and
in order to verify his story. It is
not known what luck he had SOUR
rel hunting, but it is safe to say
that the hunt was terminated after
killing the bobcat.
Bobcats were once numerous in
this county, but they are now al
most extinct. This is the first one
reported as killed for some time.

Question: Please pronounce the

it means.-H. S.
Answer: Investigation fails to
show that the name has mean
ing. The pronunciation used by
players in the picture of this name
was nin-AHTCH-kuh," the second
syllable rhyming with watch.
However, a Russian noblewoman
of my acquaintance is authority for
the following pronunciation The "i"
in the first syllable has the long "e"

ah, bah. Accent the third syllable.
Correct pronunciation: Nee -noach-

FAIR EXHIBIT
St. Louis County Building al
State Fair is Mecca for
Nature Lovers.

The st. Louis County building at the
State Fair this year specialized in an
outing exhibit that surpassed any here
tofore made and was visited by 10000
or more people who saw this vacation
land in miniature.
A stream flowed over a small falls in
which live fish disported themselves and
on the banks stuffed wild animals illus
trated the lures to the vacationists. The
whole was flanked with Illuminated
transparencies of scenic attractions. A
model of an iron mine head frame and
bas relief of the mine were shown.
Secretary Ray Hoefler of the Ely
Commercial Club, DR.. H. c. Newgord
and William Sletten installed and were
in charge of the exhibit and besides
explaining the exhibit to those pass
ing through the building, kept a check
on the visitors. The check showed
that the attendance was larger than
for any previous year and that over
10000 had sought vacation information.
The bulletin of the State Conservation
department in speaking of the out
ing exhibits, drew particular attention
to the show put on by the department
in the large conservation building and
stated that while the crops, livestock,
industrial and other features of the fair
were without compare, the vacation and
recreational exhibits were a great at
traction.
'Not only had these people, major
ity of the more than 100000 record at
tendance to see these attractive
displays of Minnesota's outdoors with
its lakes, stream, forests and profuse
wild life which makes it the hunters
paradise, but also to hear from those
in charge the story of Minnesota as
the nations playground" the bulletin
said.
1.-THE Observers reaction from this
was that this years fair crowds were
definitely vacation and recreation mind
ed and that if this were to be taken as
criterion, the states tourist business
is due to set new high mark for sew

made their visit to the fair this year
the occasion for planning next years

APPROVE 500
PUPIL TUITION
Made Applicable to All Grade
School Children From
Outside District.

The Lake county school district has
agreed to pay the 500 per year per
pupil tuition for the Section 80 grade
school children it asked permission to
send to the Ely schools, it was re-
vealed at the school board meeting of
District No. IL Monday evening.
The board made this tuition rate ap-
plicable to all grade school pupils at
tending school here from outside the
district. This will mean that Lake
county will also have to pay 500 each
for the two grade school children from
Fall Lake attending the Winton school
and that the Tower-Soudan district
must pay "a like amount for the two
coming here from Robinson lake, or
find some other means of providing edu-
cation for the children involved.
Transportation is being provided by
the outside school districts.
Lake county is closing the seventh
and eighth grades at the Section 80
school, and the seven pupils enrolled
will be transported to Ely.
Supt Stanley Adkins revealed that
the total enrolment in the school sys-
tenn was 1880, as compared with 1745
last year. The Winton school, he said,
has % pupils, four below what the dis
trict had estimated would attend the
school this year and from 10 to IL less
than Winton people said would attend
during the recent controversy over clos
ing the school.
A special meeting of the board is
scheduled for Friday evening for the
opening of bids on four projects They
include the completion of fence and
building a concrete curb around the
present tennis courts, completion of
the fence and concrete curb on the east
side of the school grounds, building of
a concrete tunnel and placing piping
from Memorial building to the stadium,
and completion of the entrance to the
Junior College building.
Several other business items are also
