Outstanding through Rotary exchanges
of youth between the countries of the
old world and America and cited sew
eral cases where delegations of young
people had been sent to England from
America and visits had been exchanged
with our English cousins in the good

Jim Laing closed the most delightful
series by citing cases of similar nature,
especially between foreign nations. Al
together the talks were an inspiration
for the club to foster interchange of
youth correspondence between America
and the Rotary districts of Canada and
Europe.
John Buccowich was drafted to lead
the singing for which the club pianist,

Ely has been quite decent in
the matter of expenditures and
are getting along famously with
the mining interests which are
a necessity here, for without
them, there would be no Ely,
neither would the mines pros
per without Ely. We have our
ups and downs with the big in
terests, but the fact neverthe-
less remains that we can get
along a whole lot better in Min
nesota if we worked for the
state as a whole and not for one
particular section thereof.
Messrs. Weber and Carley are
both men of note and would
probably rather listen to argu-
ments, accompanied by figures,
than to be accused of trying to
"horn in" by a devious route.

The High Seas

One of the definitions Of the word
''high" is this: "Of relatively great
importance; chief; main; princi-
pal" The high seas are the main
seas, just as a high road is main
thoroughfare. The term is applied
to waters which do not lie within
the body of country and are be-
yond the territorial jurisdiction Of
any government. The United States
Supreme court, though with divi-
sion of opinion, has held that the
uninclosed part of the Great Lakes
is included in the term 'high seas"
as having the general characters
tics of seas and being open to the
largest vessels and international
trade.

The Ely high school basketball team
is certain of meeting either Tower or
Eveleth in the first round of the dis
trict basketball tournament at Virginia,
March 8-11. Drawings viii be made
Monday at the Queen City at a meeting
to be attended by coaches and officials
of the district.

draw, with the exception that the two
teams at the bottom of the standings
during the regular seasons play VIII
be bracketed against each other.
If Eveleth drops its game with Aurora,
Friday evening, and the one with In
ternational Falls, March 1, Ely viii meet
them in the tournament regardless Of
the outcome of the tussle here against
Tower, Friday. If Eveleth splits its two
games and Ely whips Tower, the latter
will still play the former.

which is unlikely, and Ely defeat Tower,
then Ely will be paired with Tower.

The Liberty bell was not rung on
the occasion of the signing of the
Declaration of independence in the
literal sense of the word. 1t was
rung when the document was pub
icly read in Philadelphia. ''The
Liberty Bells of Pennsylvania" by
John Baer Stoudt, says: 'There
was no public reading of the Dec
laration at the State House on
July 4, 1776, nor was there any
demonstration of rejoicing by the
ringing of the bell. The proclama-
ton was made at IL o'clock noon on
July 8 at the request of the Commit
tee of Safety of the Province. The
reading was performed by Captain
Nixon 1t was at this time that
the bell pealed forth joyful tidings."

the ranges to introduce a sur
felt of bills of particular benefit
to certain baliwicks and groups
to the disgust of the represen-
tatives from other parts of the
state where pickings are not so
good.
Range mountebanks and poll
ticians, clamoring to get on the
mining payroll, aided by sew
eral who are never satisfied,
have constantly importuned the
legislature for more and more
tax funds until the desire has
been created to share in these
funds by residents in other Sec
lions. Then the wealth of the
ranges is constantly being par
AIDED before the eyes of the less
fortunate with the excuse that
the ranges need ten times as
much money as the southern
end of the state. This 'let's
get in on the good thing" is the
direct cause of the Dietz bill
and kindred measures.
With the Farmer-Labor adj
ministration in the saddle for
the past several years, this de-
sire on the part of the south end
of the state has been fostered
and nutured to such an extent
that the southern part of the
state feels they have been
cheated out of what they call
"a heritage" which they have
never possessed. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the ranges
have accumulated a trust fund
for the state amounting to more
than hundreds of millions, more
is wanted. o.
The balance of the state
looks with envy on our hand
some public buildings and
school facilities and while
southern counties that have
been in existence for a hundred
years or more are hard put to
build a 100000 public building,
we on the ranges are not con-
tent unless we can spend mil
lions for the same. This is the
statement of legislators who
have been led to believe that
gold grows on trees up here
and they are going to help pick
some of it for their own dis
tricts.
We hate to say it but it is
our own fault and the calibre
of timber sent down to the state
house does not help the situa-
ton one iota. We need more
money here, it is true, but ii
must be remembered that many
of the people we have, came
here during the depression
years because money was more
easily obtained here than else
where. Now our load has
doubled and our taxes are be-
coming burden, mining and
otherwise.
A mill rate of 131 and a frac-
ton in Ely is surely plenty
mills. While the mining COM
panies pay about 90 per cent of
the total to be raised, every
time the private citizen gets his
tax bill, he imagines he is pay
ing the other seven per cent
himself. Yet, in the face of
this, we feel that there are
many things needed here and
are loath to get along on less.
The increase on mining tax and
the Dietz Bill needs killing. If
our own members of the legis-
lature don't feel that way, what

Only In the United States and Can

ar produced. Not only is it purely
an American industry, but 1t is q
very old one, and like the cultiva-

that we took over from the aborigi-
nal inhabitants. The earliest ex-
plorers found the Indians making

In the st. Lawrence valley and else

One of the stages greatest plays, now hailed as one of the screens greatest pictures is Idiots Delight" which comes to the Warner Bros. Strand theater this afternoon as the headliner of the fine twin feature bill to be enjoyed by the entire family until the closing perform ances Saturday evening.
 Two great stars, Norma Shearer and Clark Cable, head the giant cast of favorites and in this picture, their first together in six years, they demonstrate their remarkable ver- satility.
 Miss Shearer, the star of Marie Antoinette" now becomes an obscure acrobatic performer with cheap vaudeville troupe, while Gable, the hero of many success, is g devil may-care hoofer on the mid west circuit, who meets her in Omaha where they fall in love.
 Idiots Delight" won the Pulitzer prize as stage play, with Lynn Fontanne and Alfred Lunt in the roles now played by Miss Shearer and Gable. Robert Sherwood, the author, wrote the screen play and took adroit advantage of the greater range afforded by the screen. On the stage the delightful Omaha ad- venture was established only in re- irrespective dialogue. In the picture, we join the troupe at Omaha and observe the technique of the hoofer and the girl in the trapeze act. The story begins where 1t really began

The greatest Italian performers in the world will be seen in gigantic vaudville show to be presented to- night, at g p. m. from the stage of the Loew-Poli Theater.
 Featured in this great entertain ment roundup are such world-ne- nowned artists as the Guiglielmos, Aristocratic jitterbugs; Esposito & Crosse, 2 gents from nowhere; Gigli and his BaronS, Harmonica sensa- tions; Fred Pisano 65 Co.,, the Italian Statesman, and to complete the line up is the Di NapoH trio, in an European novelty.
 Providing the mucical background are Gus Meyers and teh Loew Poli Theater orchestra.
 On the screen is Bobby Breen's latest and biggest hit, "Fisherman's Wharf"
 A simple, human story, artistically told; songs steeped in the rich TO- nance of the Mediterranean atmo- sphere to be found in San Francisco Bay; and a locale that for beauty and uniqueness has seldom before been equalled, combine to life the vehicle to a position among the bet- ter pictures of the current season.
 Basically, the story is a father son tale--a simple theme which pie turizes the great love of the widowed Leo Carrillo falls in love with Lee Patrick, and the parent-son angle IS mementarily stified. However, in a glorious scene at the end, with the father and son alone in their boat far out to sea, their misunderstood ings are strengthened out, and they are reunited.
 In spite of the dramttic element tc the plot, "Fisherman's Wharf" is heavily laden with grand, human comedy. Leo Carrillo, Henry Arm strng, Rosina Cali and Slicker, the famous acting seal, combine to de- liver hilarious humor.
 Bobby sings six songs in all- ranging from the more modern "Sell Your Cares For A Song," to the time-mellowed Santa Lucia and Return to Sorrento"
