Commercial Club Must Build Within
Next Three Months to Secure Site

a club house, waiting-room and
comfortable quarters for them
while they are in town.
What we need is a larger com.
mercial club and a better pulling
together by all the interests of
our city. The Commercial club
aud the business men that repre-
sent it, can do much to make bet
ter use of the advantages Beach
offers as a market and a trading
center; by encouraging the better
relationship between the farmer
and the business men; by showing
that greater care can be taken in
the economical management Of our
city and county; by keeping out
an enterprise that is now overrun
and encouraging industries that
will better the city as a whole.
Let's get together and boost for
this building. Let's have every
farmer in the Golden Valley say
ing that "Beach is good town."
Good towns do not develope until
the surrounding country grows
and furnishes the business and
they do not prosper and flourish
unless they hold that business.

BASKET BALL BANQUET

Sunday, at 2 p. M. at the
Power residence. the basketball
players gathered and played the
strongest game Of the season.
and fouls were plentiful. John
Stailard played the strongest
game Of his career in Beach. He
did not makea misplay or miss
basket in the entire game, brt
gobbled up everything that came
his way. The rest of the boys
did very near as we'll and four
fouls disappeared almost entirely.
The feast was gotten up by
Messrs. and Mesdames Power and
Ripley, but on account of illness
Mrs. Ripley was unable to attend.
Mrs. Power, however, served the
feast, which consisted Of roast
chicken (fou1), mushrooms,
olives, celery, young unions, ice
cream, cake, and everything that
hungry man cares for. 1t was
pronounced by the boys as the
best game they ever participated
in and one that will not soon be
forgotten.
Some Of the players forgot that
they ever lost a game, while
others say it was worth losing
many game to enjoy the hospi-
tality of the Power home.

something definite has to be done

Moisture is one of the limiting
factors in crop production. 1t
can be bottled up in the soil; the
spring is one of the best times to
do it. Moisture evaporates rapid
ly from soil when it is compact,
amounting to about an inch a
week. By narrowing, which
loosens up the soil surface, this
evaporation is stopped. The saw.
ing of this moisture is better for
the crop than good rain in the
growing season. 1t also warns
up the soil, which is important
in the spring. N. D. A. C.
