EvELETH BEARS TO ENGAGE
ELY IN NIGHT GAME FRIDAY
Memorial High Seeks Revenge
for 21-O Setback Last
Season.

Virginia .,7 o 6-13
Memorial high will tangle with an
ancient foe when Eveleth comes here
for a game in the Ely schools stadium
Friday at 1880 p. m. This VIII be the
first night game of the season.
With both the Golden Bears and the
Vermilion Rangers knocked out Of the
undefeated class last week, the game
here will undoubtedly be hard fought
as the clubs attempt to regain lost
prestige.
Virginia, big and hard-charging
took the measure Of Coach Pete
Moroni's boys, 1870, in the Ely sta
dunn last week, while Hibbing, on an
intercepted pass, downed Eveleth, 60.
This was the Bears first defeat in
three games, while Ely had registered
q 6-6 tie with Coleraine.
A back named Harry Roskoski.

smashes, when he was able to get
past the diminutive william zupan-
cich, were good for many yards spelled
Memorial highs defeat. Center Ro-
land Charles and the short, stocky
Zupancich teamed up, along with some
effective help from teammates in the
line, to stop the Queen City backs on
many occasions, but too often they
got loose for sizeable gains.
The Bluedevils' first touchdown came
in the initial quarter On line plays
starting from the 35 yard line. Ros-
kosh carried the ball over and kicked
the extra point. From then on the
Ely defense kept the Virginia backs
well in hand when the going got
tough, and it wasn't until the fourth
period that Virginia counted again.
A pass, RoSkosN to Floyd Ness, from
Ely's Is was good for a touchdown
but the ball was called back because
Virginia was off side. The two i'm
mediately team up again to put the
pigskin on the 13. Parsons lugged the
ball over from yard out, and A
Logar blocked Roskoski's kick.

ONLY FAIR PARTRIDGE, DUCK
HUNTING REPORTED BY NIMRoDS

Only fair shooting is reported by
both partridge and duck hunters as
the season for the former ended Mon
day.
The relative scarcity of migratory
waterfowl seems to be common
throughout northeastern Minnesota,
but in some instances local nimrods
have enjoyed exceptionally good hunt
ing.
Bad weather interferred somewhat
with the partridge hunting, and the
four-day season had no sooner ended
when ideal conditions developed. Some
hunters reported getting their limit.
The next open season, the second of
three, for partridge is Oct. 10 to "a,
inclusive.

PRICES, WAGES, SALARIES
ARE GOING TO BE STABILIZED.

Prices, wages and salaries are 60
ing to be stabilized (frozen if you are
not afraid of the word as of levels
existing September Is, 1912.
Whatever the words are used in the
bill finally passed by Congress, or the
executive orders issued if Congress
fails to act, that will be the overall
effect. Government agencies, prob
ably the Office of Price Administration
and the War Labor Board, will be
given authority to adjust or approve
adjustments of prices, wages and SAL
aries which they find are needed to
correct gross inequitieS or to main-
tain or increase essential production.
That is the picture that emerged
very clearly from the opening testi-
mony of Leon Henderson, OPA chief,
Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wick
ard, and William H. Davis, WLB
chairman, before the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee.
One after another stressed with all
the emphasis at his command the
grave dangers to the nation as
whole in a further continuance of
the initiation spiral, with wages rae
ing cost of living. One after another
asserts that the relationship between
prices, wages and salaries prevailing
around September Is was probably
about as fair as We can hope to have,
and that we have reached a point in
rising prices where the dangers to
the nation of a continuance of the
spiral outweigh the inequities in
volved.
In other words, it became clear that
these governmental leaders believe the
time for drastic action to stop that
spiral has arrived. And furthermore,
that, either under the bill pending in
the Senate, or by executive order, the
Administration plans to act.
Personally, cannot escape the con-
clusion, after listening to the evidence,
that farm prices are not out of line
if farmers are entitled to an equitable
return for their efforts. Furthermore,
it is probable that further inceases in
some farm prices will be necessary to
assure adequate production. But it is
also clear that the time has arrived
for effective action to stop the in
flation spiral.

Ely Boy Scouts have received high

Sodium Hexanetaphosphate

A new chemical, known as sodium
hexametaphosphate, has been made
up in the laboratory. It is nom
poisonous and softens water so that
pipes are not corroded and no OBJ
jectionable scale or precipitate is
produced. When it is marketed,
everyone will be able to produce
soft water, no matter where he
lives, for only two parts of the
chemical are needed for every mil
lion parts of water. It has none OF
the drawbacks of the acid treatment
OF water, or of any other softening
device, and the degree of softness
can be adjusted with surprising ac-
curacy.
