In 1856, it was compulsory for
planters In America to foster the
silk industry by planting mulberry
trees. So certain were the rulers
OF the colonies that North America
was an ideal place for silk culture,
that they compelled every planter to
grow at least 10 mulberry trees
for every 100 acres Of land. Silk
culture won a brief foothold on
this continent, and In l735 silk was
exported from Savannah to England.

with Manchester college, North Man
chester, Ind, which he later resigned
to become president of an Indian
apolis life insurance company.
America, he said, unscathed by
war which has turned Europe into
worse than chaos, must look beyond
the present conflict to the day when
war shall cease. Then it is, the
speaker declared, that this country
must take the lead in the rebuilding
of civilization.
America is peculiarly fitted for
this task, DIR. Schultz pointed out,
thru its system of universal educa-
ton which has practically wiped out
illiteracy in the nation. With a
population such as this, a public dis
cussion is possible and a public
opinion intelligently arrived at, can
be formed.
Schools, newspapers, radios and
service clubs such as Lions, Rotary
and Kiwanis, are all powerful fac
tors in providing facilities thru
which matters of common public
interest can be examined and ap-
praised, the audience was told.
Ranking scholastic honor students
of the class who delivered orations
were Eleanor Berky, yaledictorian
and Phyllis Steiner and Mary Alice
Howe, salutatorians.
Diplomas were presented at the
close of the program by Forrest
Steinman, president of the board OF
education. Musical numbers inter
spersed thruout the program were
by the high school orchestra under
direction of Prof. Sidney Hauenstein
Four members of the class were
presented with medals at class ex-
ercises on the preceding night. Re-
ceiving medals were: Mary Alice
Howe, best all around girl; Ralph
Short, best all around boy; Jeanne
Baumgartner for excellence in ora

PLEADS CLUB
SET EXAMPLE
Jones Tells Gun Club Members
Support is Important in
Enforcing Laws.

Members of the Ely Rod and Gun
club should set an example for others
to follow in the observance of fish and
game laws, Emmett Jones, Lake county
attorney, urged in a talk at the annual
outing held at Perme'S resort on White
Iron lake Sunday afternoon.
Prohibiting for Dr. w. l.. Strunk,
conservation commissioner, who was
unable to be present, Jones pointed out
that sit is to organizations like yours
that game wardenS must look for sup
port" They must have public support,
he said, in enforcing the laws.
About 200 club members were present
and made short work of the bountiful
feed that always features the clubs
outing. Archie j. BONNER, club presi-
dent, presided over the meeting.
Jones condemned the confiScati ton of
equipment of game law violators as
being unfair, and declared that confs-
Gated equipment was often disposed of
at ridiculously low prices. He told of
one instance in which a gun costing
over one hundred dollars" was disposed
of "at less than ten dollars"
The unfair part, he said, was the
taking of equipment regardless of its
value, the man owning expensive
equipment being penaIzed many more
times than the person possessing items
of small value.
Louis Champa, former club president
and John A. Harri, who has been active
in the club for many years, were called
upon to say few words. Enriko Mon
DAFT and Frank Lobe, under the direct
ion of Howard Sheik, staged a boxing
match. Bernard PrIlse provided &C
Gordon music.
Under the direction of william Harri
chairman of the conrnitte in charge
the outing agan proved great success
Working with Harri were Gust Ander-
son, Steve Seliga, ST., Matt Kobe, An
ton Slogan, Joe Pruse, Frank Boldine
Louis Boldine and Lyle Brennan.

BASEBALL TO
Start SUNDAY
Opening Range League Games
Set for Sunday; Ely Not
to See Action.

Play in the range baseball league
weather permitting, will start Sunday
with four games scheduled. The Ely
team, however, will be idle, and will
see initial action at Chisholm, Sunday
May 26.
A meeting of league representatives
and officials will be held in Eveleth
Friday night. Some change in the
schedule may be necessary because Hib-
bling is reported to have dropped from
the league and because Eveleth fans
are not satisfied with the lineup OF
games for its team. Manager Wilho v
Langen and Barney Banks will attend
the meeting.
Scheduled to see action in the league
openers are Bull, who will play at
Chisholm, Virginia at Eveleth, Taconite
at Calumet, and Hibbing at Keewatin
Playing of the Hibbing- Keewatin game
of course, will depend upon the Big
villages staying in the league.
Organization of the local team has
been progressing rather slowly. Pitcher
problems have created some difficulty
but they are expected to be ironed out
before the week is over. Several prac-
tice sessions have been held, but ten
tative lineup has not been compiled
Sunny days and warmer weather are
counted on to create the baseball spirit
that has always given Ely one of the
best clubs on the range.

State Fire Marshal Endorses
Proposed Action of Ely
City Council.

The adoption of coming ordinance
and building code for the city of Ely
was heartily endorsed by I. j. Erickson,
Duluth, deputy state fire marshal,
who was in Ely last week making his
annual inspection of the city.
Ely has a lower fire rating than
most cities in the state its size, he
pointed out, adding that the adoption
of such an ordinance would go long
way to retaining present insurance
rates for the city.
you have a very clean city," he de-
clared, and complimented city officials
for their cleanup campaign. Insofar
as his inspection is concerned, he said,
he found the city 'as whole in pretty
good shape"
Ely has class six rating whereas
the average city it's size is in class
seven which calls for higher insurance
rate, he pointed out. He warned that
without coming ordinance, bulk
gasoline plant could be erected in the
center of the business section with a
resultant hike in rates for the entire
area
The city council is considering adopt
ion of a coming and building ordinance,
and a committee was appointed at it's

Oliver OPENS
ANOTHER Level
Work on 18th Level in Pioneer
is Started; Will Take Year
to Complete.

Work on opening up the 18th level
of the Pioneer mine of the Oliver Iron
Mining company has been started,
Skillings' Mining Review reports The
B shaft, which now extends only to the
18th level, will be sunk 1O6 feet to
accommodate the 18th level
The proposed work covers approx
mately $500 feet of rock drifting and
raising, the sinking of the B shaft, and
the installation of a shaft station and
loading pockets. The rock drifting will
connect with the eastern part of the
ore body, and it is expected that oper-
ations will require about a year to
complete.
The Pioneer mine is served by two
shafts, the A and B. The former is a
vertical opening and now extends to
the 18th level. 1t is used in hauling
men, supplies, and rock. The latter is
an inclined opening and is used for
handling ore.
