SCHOOL OF FORESTRY.

The basketball team had
their pictures taken the first of
the week.
If the fine weather continues,
progress will commence in ex-
perimental work.
The gymnasium looks de-
serted these days since basket
ball has been discontinued.
The winter term examina-
tions are being held this week
and a goodly number of stud
ents are writing on them. This
terms work has been the most
successful in the history of the
school and too much credit can
not be given to the faculty who
have been connected with this
work.
Miss Carey entertained the
members of her classes, which
numbered about twenty-five in
he school Monday evening.
A most enjoyable time was
held, which consisted of differ
ent games. About. 10: 80 the
party retired to the home of
the Misses Carey where an
elegant lunch was served after
which the party dispersed all
more than pleased with 1.-THE
time they spent.
The total gate receipts for the
kenmare game were $53. 80.
The expenses were $38. so for
car fare, $500 for hotel ex-
penses, $3.50 for advertising
and 35c for telephone, leaving
15c to the good. But we wish
to thank the people of Botti-
neau for the support they gave
us in overcoming the expense
of this game and hope they
were not disappointed in the
team we secured
The basketball season has
closed and our team has again
been recognized as one of the
fastest in this section of the
state. We have lost but two
games out of eight. The only
team that has any advantage
over our team is Kenmare, and
we held this team to two points
in an overtime game. Towner
managed to defeat us when we
were just organized and not in
condition, but we came back
and defeated them on their own
floor, so we consider that the
only team that has anything
over us is Kennnare and even
they not very much. If the
horseshoe had been with us
Friday evening we would have
won, but will take our defeat
as all losing teams should,
good naturedly. !"

Agricultural College Short Talks.
TREE PLANTING.

Trees will grow very freely
on the prairie provided they
are provided with the proper
amount of moisture and this
can readily be done. There is
ample rainfall for good tree
growth but not for both tree
and grass and weeds. So the
key then is to remove the grass
and the weeds by cultivation
or by mulching with straw.
And again it is necessary that
the cultivation and the mulch
ms extend out quite a distance
from the tree as the roots ex-
tend fully as far as the branches
and usually further. When the
trees get the moisture that
naturally falls OH the ground
that is occupied by the roots
the growth will be rapid and a
healthy growth.
In planting trees the first
thing is to plant a wind break
and for this a tree should be
selected that will stand to be
switched about by the wind.
The willow is very good for this
purpose, and it has the further
advantage of growing dense so
it forms a very good wind and
snow break.
In setting out the wind
break set it far enough from
the buildings, anyway ten
rods. This will give the snow
plenty of room to settle before
it gets to the buildings and
cattle yards.
Plant the willow cuttings on
well prepared land, setting
them about a foot apart in the
row and it is well to have a

KENMARE WON CLOSE GAME
Defeated School OF Forestry Basketball
Team BY Score Of 26 TO "a.

The School of Forestry bask-
ct ball team closed the season
here Friday evening, when
they were defeated by the Ken
mare high school team by the
score of "a to rs in an overtime
game.
Kenmare came over withI
first class reputation as bunth
of basket tossers and they ca4e
up to all expectations.
The game was called at S:A5
and both teams started in hard
from the blow of the whistle.
The Forestry team started the
scoring securing field basket
in four minutes. which was
followed by free throw. So8n
after this Ken1nare securedia
point on foul and from this
on it was nip and tuck with
the Forestry boys in the lehd
until a minute to play of the
first half when the visitors TIED
and the half ended 10 to 10.
The second half opened with
rush on the part of Kenmare
and they took the lead by six
points but soon the home team
also got a streak and evened
up things and for the last
twelve minutes it was just a
matter of one team or the
other to hold the lead. When
time was called it was % all
and an extra three minutes
were necessary to decide which
was the faster team. The For
estry got one point on free
throw but Kenmare came back
and. tied it. Soon after Smith
of Kenmare threw basket and
the game ended "a to 26.
AS a game it was the fastest
and cleanest game ever played
here.
The Kenmare boys were a
very gentlemanly lot of players
and will be welcome any time
they come to this city.
< For Kenmare Smith did t.:tae
greater part of the scoring,
while Murray and Nicholson
were two exceptionally strong
guards. Sanders did not play
as much of an offensive game
as he should. He played a
good defensive game, however.
For the home boys Minkel
easily takes first place as star
as he was against a man who
is considered one of the strong
est centers in the state. Le-
veille did most of the scoring
for the home boys.

Iowa Newspapers Fitting Tribute.

The McGreagor Qowa) Times
has the following sketch of the
life of the late Mrs. III. c..
Noble, mother of V. B. Noble
of this city. Mrs. Noble had
been a frequent visitor at the
home of her son and had many
friends in this community. ).
The Iowa newspaper says:
Harriet Cass Douglass was
born in Fredonia, New York,
January IL, 1926, and died at
the home of her daughter, in
New Orleans, March 8, 1910.
In 1881, she came with her
parents to Illinois, and resided
there until her marriage to Mr..
Rueben Noble, in 1874. Later
that year they came to Clayton
county, and have always lived
here, since August, 1914, being
closely identified with the
growth of the community.
Seven children were born
to them, four of whom are now
living, Mrs. ]. F. Day of New
Orleans, Mrs. r. v. Day of
Los Angeles, Henry Noble, of
Seattle, and v. B. Noble of
Bottineau, North Dakota.
Her husband preceded her
in death on August 8, 1896, and
since then she has has con-
tinued to make her home in
McGreagor, though taking
trips to visit her children or to
spend the winter with her
daughter in New Orleans, as
she was doing at the time of
her death. The remains were
inferred in New Orleans but
later they will be brought to
her old home for burial beside
her husband.
1t is with the deepest re-
gret that we learned of the
passing away of this grand
old woman" and yet when we
view the past labors and life
work of her whose age (84) ex-
ceeds the settlement of the
county; who has resided in
Clayton county for over sixty
five years; who has shared the
tolls and troubles and priva-
tions of the early settlers, the
rise, progress and prosperity Of
Iowa, we must feel that it is
but the natural ending of al
well spent. life.
Mrs. Noble came, with her
husband, the late Rueben No
BILE, to Jacksonville, now Garn-
avillo, in 1914, and from the
first her strong intellectual and
personal qualities gained the
respect and admira ton of her
fellows. Always considerate
for the weak and wayward,
cherishin e the noble and the
good, she became moving
and abiding agent for good.
She was the first post mistress
of Jacksonville, in 1845 and
and 1916, and was an official
both obliging and efficient. It
has often been said that the
personality Of Judge Noble,
his love Of justice and peace,
his effort to settle disputes Of
all kinds on a peacable and.
equitable basis, has left it's.
imprint, upon not only the
bar, but upon the people Of the.
county, and it may with equal.
truth be said that the influence.

FREEDOM OF CONTRACT.

William j. Calhoun, minister to
China, appeared before the SUI
preme court of Illinois Thursday
in an appeal to have that body
override a decision bearing upon
the ten hour law for women. Judge
Tuthill last July held the law
limiting the working day to ten
hours unconstitutional on the
ground that il infringes on one
mans right to contract for labor.
Minister Calhoun was one of the
large number of Chicago men and
women opposing the decision who
appeared before the supreme court.
The minister to China told the
court that he would coniine his
address to single phase of the
case-its humanitarian or common
sense side.
He argued that in the doctrine
of the free dom of contract there is
more of fiction than of reality.
When men and women are depend
ent upon their daily wages, when
they are face to face with poverty
all the time, when the loss of a
days work and a days wage means
not only enough money to pay rent
or not enough to buy food, it is
not fair, it is not common sense,
