deer P0AcHING
BRANDED FALSE
Report in Minneapolis Paper
Without Foundation, Gun
Club Contends.

A story carried recently in a Mime
apolis newspaper stating that deer
poachers of this territory were selling
venison in Minneapolis was branded as
false by the Ely Rod and Gun club at
its monthly meeting held last week.
To the knowledge of club members
no such traffic is being carried on. An
investigation is being staged to see from
what authority the information was OBJ
tanned. 1t was reported by the paper
that venison had been offered for sale
to a Minneapolis hotel
Considerable discussion was held on
the winter fishing season open now for
the first time in many years. It was
brought out that the closing date would
be March 1.
The club went on record as recon-
mending that additional game wardens
for the Ely territory be appointed by
the state conservation commission.
Several other Ely organizations have
filed such a request with the COM
mission
Recently Louis j. Merrill, acting con-
servation commissioner, was in Ely, and
was taken on tour of this area by Sec
rotary Ray Hoefler of the Commercial
club. He was approached at that time
on the possibility of obtaining additional
wardens here, and he stated that his
department would take the matter
under advisement. To date no action
has been taken by the commission.

POOR SHOWING

Disposal of Local Diaries
Need Correction.

The report of the investigation made,
October II and Is, by E. C. Slagle, pub

of Health, to DR.. c. A. Scherer, director
of the ST. Louis County Board of Health
on the water supply and excreta dis
posal facilities for 80 dairy farms in
the Ely area, has been received by the
Ely health department.
The report is not as satisfactory from
health standpoint as should be and
changes will be ordered for these places
to correct the sanitary conditions of the
diaries Mentioning no names, the re-
port shows:
Total number of dug wells examined
were cribbed with wood as unsatis-

curb not good unless the joints are
cemented rock curb in Z, no good;
one driven well with pit unsatisfactory
as pits are not allowed; three springs
reported, two of which were OK; one
surface supply, no good.
Hand pumps examined numbered Is
with satisfactory. Eight were the old
pitcher pumps with open spout.
Pumps should have stuffing box and
closed spout. Eleven electric driven
suction pumps in basement pits are
unsatisfactory. Two of the gravity
systems examined were found salts

or privy was found satisfactory, while
"a examined were labeled as unsani-

Judge Christ Holm Warns That
U. S. Should Fight Again
Only If Invaded.

The grave situation in which the
world finds itself on the twenty-first
anniversary of the World War armistice
was the keynote of the observance here
Saturday.
Municipal Judge Christ Holm, Hib-
bling, who gave the main address, and
John R. Edman, also of Hibbing, who
dedicated the post colors of the sponsor
ing organization, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, warned their listeners that sanity,
while it had flown from many nations,
should never be lost from the United
States.
Dull skies and cold, raw wind, even
gave the parade a somber note. 1t was
the first ever to be held here and a
good sized crowd braved the sharp wind
to witness it. Cold kept the Scouts and
school children from participating.

we would never go to war again." Judge
Holm said in his address given in the

Response to Red Cross Call
First Reports of Solicitors Show
Ely Falling Short of Former
Years Receipts.

The officers of the Ely Red Cross
report that the drive for memberships,
started week ago Monday, is not doing
as well as the noble work done by this
American organization would warrant.
No immediate effects of the Red
Gross in this vicinity are felt in this
city by reason of there having been no
disasters of late to call particular
attention to the work of the Red Cross.
In consequence of the lack of a dis
aster, many have forgotten what the
Red Cross has meant to humanity and
are Withholding theif memberships with
the "Let George Do It" idea uppermost
Mrs. A. j. McMahan, and Treasurer
Mrs. o. W. Parker are sending out an
appeal to all our citizens to become
members this year and keep up the
good reputation enjoyed by Ely in sub
scribing to the roll call now on.
The committees and solicitors named
at a meeting the fore part of the month
to canvass the city for memberships re-
port that they are being cordially re-
ceived in the business places and the
homes but that the memberships are
slow in coming
Several of the committees reported
last Saturday instead of next Saturday
and their reports fall short of last
years results. While the membership
drive is scheduled to close on November
18th as ner announcements made
memberships and donations will be re-

indefinitely.

LASTING PAINT
Being USED FOR
p. 0. NJ URALS
Mrs. JENNIE, Artist, Employing
Egg Tempera Which Does
Not Dull With Age.

Egg tempera, one of the oldest medals
known in painting, is being employed in
painting the murals in the poStoffice
lobby, according to Mrs. Elsa JENNIE,
artist, executing the work.
Mrs. JENNIE states that egg tempera
is not an oil paint but is one of the
Oldest medals known in painting, ex-
amples of it being three and four
thousand years old.
In the history of italian painting,
egg tempera and true freSco (painting
on wet plaster) were the two methods
mainly in use, said the artist. Many
of the worlds masterpieces were painted
in either one of these two mediums.
Oil painting was not invented until the
18th century. She further stated that
egg tempera is now coming into use
in this country for both mural and
easel paintings.
The artist using this method makes
his own paint by grinding the pure
powder colors with an egg emulsion
which he also makes. One of the adj
vantages of egg tempera is that the
colors do not darken or dull with age,
as oil is apt to do, but become more
beautiful as time goes on. 1t also has
a more mural, or wall quality, as being
part Of the wall belonging to it.
Before beginning the painting, Mrs.
JENNIE gave the new plaster, put On by
Louis Garni, five thin coats of ground
which preserved the texture of the
plaster and made a good base for the
colors. She has painted murals in
Minneapolis, st. Paul, Philadelphia,
Mount Airy, st. Cloud and Ladysnith,
Wisconsin.
Her work has been exhibited at
Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Gal
leries and Architectural League Shows,
New York; the Pennsylvania Academy,
Chicago Art Institute, Kansas City Art
Institute, Walker Galleries and the
Little Gallery at the University and
at the Public Library Gallery, st. Paul
At present one of her paintings is
travelling with an exhibition of invited
work of artists from five midwest states
sponsored by the University Gallery
which will be on tour a year, show
ing in various parts of the country
She also has painting in the annual
exhibition of Twin City artists now on
at the Minneapolis Art Institute for the
month of November.

Home OlUnerS Remote
Fences as Wandering
COlUS Leave Streets.

Pleased and encouraged at the efforts
on the part of the city to enforce the
ordinance prohibiting cows from run
ming at large throughout the munich
pality, many residents are either
planning or have already removed
fences placed around their property to
keep out the animals.
Generally speaking new houses
erected this year were not closed in
with the customary protective fence.
The residents of the entire north
side of the 200 block on east White
street have removed all fences from
their property one of the first such
moves to be made. Reports from this
same neighborhood are to the effect
that others are planning a similar
operation.
The cow question here has been quite
a problem for property owners, city
officials, and cow owners. Tourists
have been flabbergasted at the sight
of the animals roaming aimlessly
through the business section or lying
contentedly beside city thoroughfares
chewing their cuds. Two years ago sew
eral local people did landoffice
business selling photographs of such
scenes to out-of-town visitors.
All this seems to have been ended
during the past summer through CO.
operation on the part of the city and
cow owners. Now the property owners
have started removing fences around
their places, non-beautifying article
that is considered quite singular by
outside people who are not familiar with
the circumstance.
