clubs little book;
For from its beginning, in 1926,
We've proved that civic consciousness.
With culture we can mix.
We lighted candles in the dark X
chase grim ghosts away
Of ignorance, unsightliness, and Ia,
laws direful sway.
Books, health, better homes ant
schools, laws to legislate,
Claimed our attention and concern
In 1928.
A little thing, our candles light, but
oh, it did so much!
It liberated courage to lend a woman's
touch
To legislative programs; projects Of
skill; and art;
In 1880, in these fields,
Our club performed it's part.
o bright the glow of candles now
Though toll takes it's own toll,
Success crowns ardent effort; We
reach a shining goal;
A library is ours at last-a cherished
dream come true
With pride we hail the flame that's
burned
Since 1882.
Still beams as candlelight whose vast
reach none can know
Shine through the organized Cir
Scouts which we have helped tt
grow;
These and the funds contributed to
worthy aims galore
Increase our pride as we look back
To 1884.
With joy we light the candles whose
warm rays golden CLEANS
Kiss into bloom the buds of hope with
which our club life teens;
For identifying Pocomoke", with
all which that implies,
From SO to '38
Was our great enterprise.
And now the thirteenth candle lends
its radiance to shine
With steady flame of lofty aim fol
1889.
Nal all our candles, burning, light
an ever upward trend;
And our club live forever
It's birthdays never end!

Today we're lighting candles on our
thirteenth birthday cake,
And on this occasion we are glad to

Rhythmic recognition of achievements

They're but the harvest of our dreams
Ere our years outnumbered one.

RELIANCE


From the crystal floor Of a snow white
earth,
To the dome Of cloudy sky,
Snow flakes come hurrying down
And we paused to watch them fly.
Paused on a road between field and
wood
Where in the distance the farm homes
stood.
Hearing the rustic of tiny feet
We turned to hedge close by,
A baby rabbit was watching us
With friendly questing eye.
Probably wondering how long we
would stay
And heartily wishing we'd go away.
Where was the Mother that let him 60
Alone and on such day,
Few spots were bare 70 rthe tiny feet
Almost everywhere snow drifts lay.
Few spots were bare for the tiny feet
Home, praying the shelter of some
friendly limb?

Could mortal woman ever know
Within ones space Of years;
More anxiety-pain-or woe
Or have more cause for tears:
Than this woman born of God
To live where mortal man has trod
And suddenly died to slip away
To be with God and friends for aye
A broken-hearted widow twice,
With children left to train;
But self denial and sacrifice
We're equal to the strain:
She kept them clean, body and soul
While keeping her own spirit whole;
Angels cannot, her work excel,
But Oh, it's hard to say Farewell
Though her mortal ears were dull,
She had that sense of soul;
That her foes could not annul:
Or keep her from her goal
She was quick to sense a need
And just as quick, did she pay heed;
Till all was done that could be done
For suffering girl or troubled son.
Loved her church with jealous zeal,
And loved her Saviour too;
Our God, to her was very real
Shed proven Him-she knew
That only God could meet her need;
And on his word, her soul did feed,
Until she hungers, now, no more
On that great Eternal Shore.
We now weep with those who weep
As we her bier, pass by;
For we sense emotions, deep
AS tears do dim the eye:
But let's rejoice, it was our lot
To know this saint who now is not;
And thank God, a long time yet
That we, her life, cannot forget.

outlying centers are established or
enlarged the same errors which
caused flight from the central dis
trict are being repeated. Smaller
cities which have but a single busi-
ness section should profit by the
experience of larger communities

sound their existing facilities;
otherwise they may suffer a fight
Of trade to neighboring communi-
ties made more attractive.
While the tendency Just outlined

yet no steps have been taken to
combat 1t and prevent the ruthless
loss of property value and COM

gains undue acceleration. The

Emergency Mobilization
Planned by Architects

Establishment of a Committee on
Preparedness for Eme ergencies
charged with the task of mobilizing

cooperation with national and local
governments is announced by the
Board of Directors of the American
Institute of Architects. Stephen F.
Voorhees, of New York, head of the
Worlds Fair Board of Design, and
a past president of the institute, has
been appointed chairman.
The committee will conduct an
extensive survey to determine how
the architectural profession can
most usefully serve the country in
periods of disaster and emergency"
Edwin Bergstrom of Los Angeles,
president of the institute, explained.
1T will devise a plan of organiza-
ton placing the members of the in

country in readiness for immediate
and effective service.
"A chief aim is to encourage the
formation, particularly in the larger

when fire, flood, pestilence or earthly

mental cooperation will be sought
in order that public agencies in time
of need may utilize the planning and
administrative abilities of the archi-
tects to the greatest advantage.
while it is hoped that the United
States will not become involved in
untoward events beyond its borders,

be enabled to move as unit in be-
half of the national interest, and to
meet those responsibilities for which
they are fitted"

its member real estate boards in

take immediate steps in their own

destructive in their trend.
I'VE seek to develop measures,

Characterizing the burning of the
mortgage by Ely Lodge No. 200, indie
pendent Order of Odd Fellows as 1.-THE
removal of dark cloud lowering over
Ely lodge" Grand Master L. j. Porter
of the Minnesota domain, paid a high
tribute to the untiring work of the
local Odd Fellows and their sister Re-
bekahs in making this suspicious event
possible in little less than Is years.
The Grand Master further stated that
he considered it a high honor and a
pleasure to be in Ely on an occasion Of
this kind and to be allowed to partici-
pate in the obliteration of the menace.
He spoke of the excellent work done by
the Minnesota Odd Fellows in general
and feelingly called attention to the
treatment accorded Odd Fellows and
their orphans at the Northfield, Min
nesota home, maintained by the order
This is not all Grand Master Porter
said and besides telling of the excel
lent work being done for humanity
during the past few years in particular
and since the inception of the order,
he closed his very comprehensive and
short address by asking all nom
members present to affiliate themselves
with an order of such Importance

Frank Delach, SO, a resident of this
city for the past 20 years, died suddenly
Tuesday morning at 1870 in the dry

was getting ready to go home when he
complained of not feeling well. Shortly
after he collapsed and fellow workers
applied artificial respiration but to no
avail and he passed away before medi-
cal aid arrived.

Mortuary and prepared for burial The
funeral will probably take place to-
morrow morning, out-of-town relatives
being on the way here for the funeral

children. His mother, Mrs. Louise De-

CASE ON AT HIBBING
Many Elyites to Testify
at Trial; Case Attracts
Wide Attention.

B. o. Strachan, Ed. c. Jones, Joseph
| Spreitzer, ST., Dan ChriStoff, @. 3.
Burck, W. P. Wolff, Sam Swanson,
John Debeltz, James Nickoloff, William
Rowe, E. H. Anderson, DR.. George T.
Ayres and others, were in Hibbing last
week to testify in the silicosis trail now
on before Judge Martin Hughes.
George Simon of this city is suing
the Oliver Iron Mining company for
$4,000 claiming he contracted silicosis
while working in the Pioneer and Sibley
mines of the company in this city.
The defense contends that Simon con-
tracted tuberculosis through natural
means and that he would have caught il
no matter where he worked. The de-
tense also points to the fact that Simon
had been employed by three other
mining companies in Minnesota and
Michigan, previous to his coming TO
Ely, and that he had been employed
here for only six years.
DR.. ArVid Hedberg, assistant medical
director of the Nopeming sanitorium
and national authority on chest dis
eases, testified early in the trial last
week, that Simon came to the institu-
ton in 1884 with what he diagnosed as
lico-tuberculoSis, a combination Of
silicoSiS and tuberculosis. DR.. Hedberg
showed x-rayS to the jury in defense
OF his diagnosis. He also testified
that Simon has been confined to the
Nopeming institution since 1884 and
cannot be moved. He characterized the
case as hopeless"
superintendent Strachan was on hand
to answer the Simon complaint that
poor ventilation in the two mines pre-
disposed to his being diseased. Supt.
Strachan claimed that the ventilation
system in the mines was efficient and
circulated the air with considerable
force. On the invitation of Mr..
Strachan and the defendant mining
company, r. j. Moore, Minneapolis.
PWA engineer, brought here by Simon's
attorneys, made a personal inspection
of the two mines the latter part Of the
week.
Testimony for the plaintiff was to be
completed Tuesday night or Wednesday
noon when the defense attorney, Dennis
Donovan of Duluth, expected to put on
an array Of witnesses to prove the mines
were not the cause of the disease in
Simon. All indications point to the
case being one Of the longest tiled
during the Hibbing term in many years.
The trial is attracting the attention
of physicians and engineers in many
mining states and upon its outcome
hangs a precedent of unusual impor-
lance and involving much Charles NJ
Doorway, Eveleth, one time range min
ing engineer and former city engineer
of Eveleth, on the stand Monday, stated
his belief that ventilation in the two
mines was not adequate for the removal
of dust from them

pecially to Mr.. Dorway's citing facts and
