HIGH SCHOOL QUINTET STARTS
PRACTICE.

After being without basket ball
team for two seasons, it now seems
quite probable that the local high school
will not only have a quintet but an
excellent one as we'll. Practice has
already been started at the Germania
hall with plenty of athletes trying for
positions on the team. There Is Hall,
Longley. Tanner and Richard trying
for place as forward, Kay and
Brannen tor center, and Gillette.
Dunphy, Diedrich, Greish and Clark for
guards There is really material
for two good teams. E. j. Nordgaard,
science teacher, is to coach the team.
He played with the fast st. Olaf
college quintet last season. In fact
everything Is propitious for a very
successful season. A schedule of
games has not yet been arranged, but
this Will be done soon.

NOTED LECTURER APPEARS
NEXT MONDAY EVENING.

DIR. Thoe. E. Green, the noted Iowa
lecturer who has been acclaimed as a
prince of lecturers and the webster of
the West,'' will appear at the Congre-
gational church pext Monday evening
under the auspices of the Star Lecture
course. when he will deliver his
famous address The Key to the XXth
Century,
This orator has been on the lecture
platform under the management of the
Redpath Lyceum Bureau for seven con-
secutive seasons, and has made his
position with the general public
throughout the United States stronger
each succeeding year. The above lee.
rure has been delivered by him for
over a thousand times. The Boston
Journal has the following to say in
regard to it: No one who heard DR..
Green's address will soon forget 1t. It
was speech that if printed in full could
not be adequately reported. 1t was a
prose ode on patriotism, and an exal-
tation of American destiny, so
earnestly, so skilfully, SO magnetically
delivered, that the audience was again
lifted to cheer, and even to waving of
handkerchiefs.

Corn is selling for 80 cents bushel
in many Nebraska towns. Here it is
more than double that price. And the
Texas farmer gets the benefit of the
difference. An acre Of Brazos county
land can easily be made to produce as
much as an acre of Nebraska land,
Yet the average price of the Nebraska
land is between four and five times as
great as the average price of Brazos
county land.

are getting the benefit Of lot of prac-
