Friday, February 6, 1881.

The ely Miners Voice, a mimeo-
graphed sheet of doubtful origin, was
anonymously circulated throughout the
the miners of Ely were advised to
join the hunger march at Hibbing
on February 10, on which day bill
will be introduced in congress to fur
nish workers unemployed insurance of
$25 a month with SIS for each child.
The circular is issued by the Young
Communist League and the Communist
party. The paper also advises the
unemployed workers to make de-
mand on the city for the $4,000 in
the city treasury and says the unem-
ployed situation in Ely is very acute.
An investigation by responsible parties
of the statements made have found
them highly exaggerated. Investigation
showed the makeup of the Young
Communist party in Ely was composed
mostly, of those that could be located,
of those who did not want a job and
were living on the dollars their fathers
were bringing home. 1t was found that
the miners were working at the Pioneer
on a five-day schedule and at the
Zenith on a four-day schedule. Wages
were not cut. The worker preferred
this method rather than a lay-off for
a part of their number. The bank
statements show that saving deposits
are on the increase while checking ac-
counts are decreasing. Savings de-
posits are maintained by the laboring
man while the merchants and business
men maintain the checking accounts.
These checking accounts vary from a
few dollars right after pay days to
nothing and in many cases an over
draft or note, a few days later. The
laborer gets his money regularly and
is permitted by this to budget his ex-
penses and to make a slight addition
to his savings deposits.

LAVE unusual expenses caught
l you short of ready cash? Do you
need money to pay old bills? If you
have steady job, you can readily
borrow $40 to S300-and repay in
small monthly installments.
Suppose that you need $l00. Find
this amount in the first column of the
table. Then read across picking out
the monthly payment you wish to
make. IL monthly installments of
S9.77 each, for instance, will repay a
500 loan in full. The cost, in this case,
averages less than SC day.
You may prefer smaller payments.
Only S6.43 a month for 20 months
will also repay $l0O loan. The
amount you borrow and the time you
take to repay it determines the cost.
You can borrow S25 for two months,

Falls Quintet to Engage
High School Here friday
One of Two Home Contests on
Remaining Schedule; Drop
Thriller to Gilbert.

International Falls will meet Mem
orial high schools basketball team on
the Ely floor Friday night in one OF
the two remaining games to be played
here.
While occupying the cellar position
in the district standings, the Falls
isn't without strength if not properly
kept in check. The restraining work
is up to Coach Steve Smrekar'S club
to perform.
For instance the Falls defeated
Aurora, 1918, two weeks ago, and then
Aurora went on last week to defeat
Tower, $3.50, a team that Ely had no
little difficulty in whipping on Mem
orial court.
The last of the two remaining games
to be played here will be with Gill
bert, Feb. %, game, after what
happened at Gilbert last week, that will
be a blood battle from start to finish.
What took place at Gilbert last Fri
day night will be remembered by the
Ely club and the group of local fans
present for a long time. The Elyites
lost out in the final minutes, 35-33
but all the Vermilion range people,
and no little share of the Gilbert fans,
are in doubt if the better team won.
Leading throughout the game, the
Ely team saw victory change into de-
feat as the Gilbert crew staged a
belated comeback that wasn't checked
quite soon enough.
With big George Perkovich annexin2
scoring honors for both teams with II
points, Ely kept well in front of their
vaunted foes until the most important
point, the final gun. Ed Grahek with
points equalled the best efforts Of
Lozovich, high for Gilbert.
Al Logar, high scorer for the Ver-
million range club, was kept in check
by the Gilbert guards, sinking but cne
basket.
Behind, 1923, as the fourth period
started, Gilbert staged a rally good for
II points while Ely, fighting desperately
to hold the veteran Gilbert crew down,
could produce only 3.
The boys displayed their best form
of the season, and gave the Gilbert
club something to remember for
long time Perkovich, along with
his teammates, turned in some nice
work under the baskets, one reason
why Gilbert's scoring was stopped cold

with Charles Boyer and Margaret
Sullivan as it's brilliant co-stars.
Rita Johnson, Eugene Palette,
Ruth Terry and Reginald Denny
are among the galaxy of players
Importantly cast in supporting
roles.
Broadway and Manhattan's sky
line are the ultra-modern back
grounds for the bright dramatic
piece tailored by Universal pre-
cisely to exploit the stellar talents
of Boyer and Miss Sullavan. Boyer
portrays a successful Broadway
playwright genius at penning
the romantic, adventures Of his
fictitious characters. He bogs
down completely when his own
affairs Of the heart develop COM
plications.
Miss Sullavan is cast as a femi-
nine careerist q doctor who
makes a domestic fixture Of Boyer
after he has staged an impetuous
romantic pursuit and carried her
to the altar. Her insistence that
each establish his own home and
pursue his separate career without
interference from the other lays
the basis for complications which
repeatedly obstruct their we'll
meant intentions of satisfying
their romantic urge even after
marriage.
Both Boyer and Miss Sullavan
are refreshingly presented in ZAP
pointment for Love" in roles
which contrast sharply with their
previous pairing in somer Back
Street."
Sharply etched is Rita Johnson
as the chic actress and ex-sweet-
heart Of Boyer's who continues to
pursue him both for himself and
for the furtherance of her career.
Palette appears as Boyer's Broad
way producer and roly-poly conf
dant. Miss Terry is seen as the
|ga-ga over Playwright Boyer; and
Denny as Miss Sullavan's glib, i'm
petuous suitor.
