nVsTDE DARxEsr AMERICA

INSIDE DARKEST AMERICA
 4 shcgt time ago we suspected tf1e reason for the grounding of the liner Manhattan, sabotage. That was pooh.poolied in some ilewspa. perS Last week the FBI cole bed . Nazl spy who admitted his gslilt and was sent to prison within three hours. The spy's name is Paul Fehse, who had been woktng Gs cook on the Manhattanl There have been many reports of Nazis and Communists holding key posi- tiouS In our merchant marine. Yet some unions have been doing every thing possible to protect them 7. . But the jailing of this spy is an- other step the FBI has taken to smash an espionage ring divulging maritime information to the Nazis .. Ut seems the nation now has another reason to be thankful for the gBI, whose initials are as i'm. potant to the safety of democacy as RAFT
 Because the book, "Out of the Night" has done the best job of squelching the Communists since rat poison was ii1yented-the Com. rats have launched a smear cam paign against the book and the author They have tried all kinds of tricks, and their latest is to send out lecturers (whose sub- ject is presumably literature) but they are actually Communist propa- ganda agents This is to warn the nation thatt he name of one of athe lecturers Is Sender Garlin. Don't be fooled by this man - he has been 6 leader in the Red parade for long time His job is to spread literary ether, because 'Out of the Night" has awakened Do many Americans.
 For the past week the papers have contained stories about hun- ireds of NaSis here who are going back to Germany. It's good to know that the infection is slowly being drained But this is something we can't understand: Hermann Schwinn, the West Coast Bund leader, whose U. s. citizenship was revoked, is still among us. They used to excuse that situation by explaining that 1t was impossible to get to Germany from America be. cause of the blockade. But if hun. dreds of other Nazis are going back why not schwinn? Why are we keeping him here-for luck?
 Sam Evans is an evening high school instructor of adults in Los Angeles, who has been exposing and debunking Nazis and Nazi loropagandists there. Because of that the Bund Is doing everything pos- sible. Co make toublea for Evans. They're even trying to oust him from his position, but Dr. Russell w. Starr, chairman of the AYneri- can Legion Public Relations Com- nittee. has gone on record as stat Ing that most of those trying to get rid of Evans are Bunders So iais D to report that one of those leading the movement against Evans is F. K. Ferenz, who was once squelched by Evans and vowed ven- geance .. Ferens employs stooges to cary on his work .. We ex- posed him as Q NaM propagandist long time ago. He denied 1t, but he can't disprove 1t .. Ferenz is how trying to Nszify the Los An geles school system with all kinds pf theats and pressure. We hope

Final Pre-HOIiday Game
Here With TOlUer on
Friday, Dec. 10.

Memorial high basketeers will travel
to Aurora Friday night, and will en-
terrain Tower here Friday, Dec. 10, In
the finol pre-holiday games.
The first contest promises to be. the
easier of the two, but that with Tower
will be a real struggle. In their initial
game Aurora lost to Tower, 1920, and
then Tower went on to smash Virginia
until the final minutes when the Blue
devils foraged ahead for a 1922 win
Ely did just the opposite of what
many expected of it last week, losing
the Virginia game-24 to 20-and win
ming the Two Harbors encounter-27
to e. If the boys had played the first
like they did the second, there would
have been a double win.
An cratic first half, which perhaps
was to be expected in the opening
game, proved costly to Memorial high
at the Queen City, while in the second
an effort to catch up fell short.
Against Two Harbors the initial
quarter was all the Agate City's, score,
GA, but in the second Ely found it
self, and kept ahead the remaining
time Half was 14-10, and third quar-
ter, 1917, both Ely.
The final period, however, was as
hectic as ever kept a basketball crowd
biting its nails. With but three seconds
to go and Memorial high ahead, 27-25,
William Rowe, Ely, and Herman, sub
Agate guard, were awarded fouls
simultaneously. Herman had two shots
but sank only one, while Rowe missed

TALL timber
TALES
BY A. K. U.

Now that the country is involved II
a shooting war;, the Tall Timbel
country will play an increasingly i'm
portant part in supplying materials t.
win it.
The Big Woods will ring with thu
victory axes of woodsmen, WHOSE
keen blades win bring down trees tx
go into many defense products.
The nation is fortunate that it has
tremendous timber reserve like the
Superior National Forest. and forest
service educated in the way to harvest
the crop and preserve replacement
supply.
The job started many months age
by H. Basil Wales, Milwaukee, chief OF
timber management in region nine ano
head of defense planning for the
region, will now be a big one.
The trees from the Superior forest
will meet variety OF demands from
mine props to cellulose for explosives
Airplane construction will also get its
share, as will munitians Grating.
The "valueless" aspen, long the dam
delion of the Tall Timber country, is in
increasing demand for box lumber and
tie timber.
The yellow birch, most of it in
private ownership, yields veneer
used for the wings of training planes.
Jack pine may serve directly in the
battle line, for it may be converted
into wood cellulose for a base for
explosives. England has been doing this
for several years.
Right now the sturdy little jack pine
is in great demand for pulp because
the European supply has long been cut
off.
If fuel shortage should ever de-
velop in the Lakes region, there is
tremendous supply of wood avail
able that could overcome the emer-
gency.
The part the Big Woods will play
in winning the war will undoubtedly
be a big one. Under the capable
management of the forest service this
great timber reserve will be thrown
into the fight for democracy.

count 27-26.
The bali went to center, where on
the jump Ed Chachich sent it into the
hands of Forward Al Logar, who
passed to Forward Louis Senta. Held
ball was called, with only a split
second remaining. Two Harbors imme-
diately called time out. When the ball
went into play, an Agate player got
it, but the game ended before he
could shoot.
Ely's defense played big part in
the unexpected victory, and a great
deal of credit goes to the boys for
keeping the six-footers from Two
Harbors well in hand. The red and
whites fast break also had the Agates'
tongues dragging the floor.

Sees Action Again With
Powerful GreyhOunds
From Virginia.

Resting this weekend after their
three initial MIC conference basket
bali games, the Ely college will not see
action until the potent Virginia Grey
hounds travel here Friday, Dec. 10.
Slated as the team most likely to
take the title away from Eveleth, the
Queen City tomorrow night will make
its initial try for victory against none
other than the up-and- coming Brain
erd five, one of the darkhorse clubs of
the circuit.
The defending title holders came
through with repetition of the Ely l.
point win, defeating Brainerd last
week, 46-45.
The college bumped up against a
stone wall at Hibbing last week, and
was defeated by powerful Cardinal
five, 1913.
The Cardinals, playing their initial
contest, were definitely on, and weren't
to be stopped by the Vermilion range
five.
The Elyites were especially erratic
at the free throw line, missing 10
shots, and sinking but five.
