9TH AVE. WATER AND
SEWER EXTENSIONS

In Tuesdays issue Of the Alert,
will be found the publication of the
special assessment for the water and
sewer improvements on 18th avenue
south, made last fall. The assess
ments have been prepared, for each
piece of property benefited, by the
special assessment committee Of
three members. The total cost of
the, water extension was IS, 939. so.
The total cost of the sewer improve
ment SO, 265.O1. The total cost Of
both sewer and water connection be-
ging s9.204.5l.
It is one of the most valuable i'm
provements that the residents of
that portion of the city could posi-
bly, secure, adding value to property
and inducing investment. The prop
erty owners have 20 years in which
to pay for this Improvement or can
pay for the same all at once. AS an
indication of the desirability of such
securities the warrants issued in pay
ment of the work were promptly pur-
chased by jamestown investors, and
there is lively demand here for
more of such securities. There are
one or two other portions of the city
in which the natural growth will
soon require similar sewer and water
extensions.

D. B. c. Defeated by Cynosures.
nSkidoo' Number Unlucky
For Fargo.

With one of the hottest, Whirlwind
finishes, ever displayed here the Cy-
nosure basket ball team overcame
big lead late in the last half OF the
basket ball game at the high school
gym. Tuesday night and defeated
the Dakota Business college team of
Fargo, the score being % to %
when time was called. The outcome
of the game was in doubt until the
last second, although the local ag-
gregation was stronger at the end.
1t was probably the most spirited
and hard fought game ever played at
jamestown and the Cynosure boys
proved themselves superior to one of
the crack quintets of the northwest.
The gym was filed to the limit OF its
seating capacity.
The play was so fast that the ball
could be followed with difficulty by
the spectators. Jamestown scored
first on free throw; D. B. c., tying
the score moment later and then
going head on field basket, and
kept tile advantage during the first
half which ended 13 to in their IA
vor. Several fouls were called tor
rough play. and Morris Severn for
Jamestown held his own in throwing
free baskets. /.
During the intermission the Cyno-
sure boys practiced while at the
baskets, and then went in to turn an
apparent defeat into brilliant vic
tory. Supt. Crane announced the
next games would be Monday night,
Jan. ls, Cynosure VS.. Fargo college,
and Friday, Jan %, jamestown high
school boys and girls VS.. Valley City
Normal boys and girls.
The last half of the game opened
with the D. B. G. fighting to retain
the lead that the Cynosure boys we're
determined to snatch away from
& ishem; ana aiser. displaying, cham
pionship form the lead was cut down
and finally a free throw by Morris
Severn tied the score, II to II. The
D. B. G. then spurted and on a free
throw and field goal gained 8 points
and the lead again. But Jamestown
had struck its stride. and keeping
the ball in the visitors territory ran
the score up to 20, then q and %.
The D. B. G knew then they were
defeated, but struggled hard, and on
free throws drew up to % points,
when the game was called and the
Cynosures had won.
The playing of all the local boys,
Mueller and Rulon at guards, Blewett
and Morris Severn, forwards. and
Neal Severn center showed great
form, and each held their opponents
even or better. The officials were
called to make several close decisions.
Jamestown made field baskets

Remedy for Sunburn.

AS cosmetic it Is used as a substi-
tute for water, or in conjunction, as
one chooses. Accordingly, as it is an
adjunct or a substitute the method of
using differs a little. When water is
not used the milk is put on freely, wet
ting a soft old cloth and sopping tho
face, neck and chest thoroughly. No
soap is required.
This is at once washed off in warm
water, to which about teaspoonful Of
borax is added to a basinful of water.
Fresh buttermilk is then patted on with
the fingers, letting it dry. 81
When employed as an adjunct the
first cleansing must be done with soap
and water, the skin being dried and
buttermilk patted ON later and allowed
to remain. wa
The odor of .buttermilk is not pleas
ant and in that lies the undesirable
feature Of its use. Nevertheless. as q
bleaching and refining agent it is most
valuable.
In case of sunburn or freckles the
milk should be put on at the earliest
opportunity, letting 1t dry into the skin
Water must not be applied at any time
while there is a singing or smarting
sensation.

It is more trouble to empty pan once

Every morning take out the food left
from the day before and examine it. II
It is the least bit tainted it should be

Charcoal or a lump of dry lime
should be kept in the food box. They

connect with the terminal. The work
of construction will commence i'm

SUPPORT For Vines. Es.#s

Last year 1 tried new support for
Towering vines which proved most
satisfactory. I took two light sticks
long enough to reach across the end
of the piazza where 1 wished to train
the vines, and connected them with
stout cords on which the vines might
run. In the upper stick l fastened
three screw eyes which slipped over
three corresponding hooks at the top
of the piazza. Several times during the
summer when we had furious storms
which whip the tender vines SO ruin
ously, I unlocked the support and
placed the vines fiat on the piazza
door, securing the stick with cou-
pie of stones. In this way they es-
capped the worst Of the storm and were
quite fresh when l hooked them lin
place again. Our vines never before
lived through the summer in such
good condition. The first frosty nights
the vines were placed on the ground
and covered with "a blanket, SO that
our blossoms remained quite late, and
when at last they became frosthitten
II was VERY simple to remove both
vines and support. leaving behind no
dangling strings or vines.-House-
keeper.
