and low ceiling, but nevertheless they
put up a fine game. The score at
the end of the, first. half, stood to
Z, in favor of Wadena. The Wadena
boys increased their lead in the
first part of the second half, but by
hard work, the locals took the lead

towards the latter part of the game.
Unable to hold up their end of the
game during the last few minutes of
play, the Sank Centre boys took their
medicine like men, fighting to the
end. The following is an extract from
letter written by Supt. Carroll of
Wadena to Supt. Angus:

bill of health, and to congratulate
you and your school upon the cred

fact was generally commented upon
by the large and representative body
of spectators.

Tobacco Growing in America.

While some tobacco is produced in
almost every state, less than one per
cent of this country's crop is grown
west of the Mississippi, Texas being
the only trans-Mississippi state in
which the industry has gained much
importance. Kentucky leads all the
states in tobacco growing. 1t produces
more than one-ninth of the entire crop
