W. A. Boerger, County Superin-

The st. Cloud Journal-Press of Feb.
- prints the following:
THAT the patato contest in Stearns
county to be renewed this fall will be
bigger than ever before is the opinion
of superintendent Boerger, who is al
ready laying plans for the work. In
stead of limiting the entries, everyone
between the ayes of 10 and Is may
compete. Seventeen local stations
will be established for receiving the
potatoes. The Stearns Cotnty Fair
association will enlist the cooperation
of the Commercial clubs and it's ex-
pected that there will be many more
entries than ever before. In 1914 an
effort will be made to commemorative
the contest and thu contestants will
be shown where they can sell their
potatoes to good advantage"

Play a Tie Game in a Struggle
Worth witnessing

The Sank Centre basket ball team
is considering the adoption of the
motto '.Biest Be the Tie"-the
Milaca game OF last Friday being the
third lost this season. with the score
at the end of the second half a tie in
each instance.
A wildly Enthusiastic audience play
ed the game just little harder than
those llo handled the ball, and with
good:reason, fer never was contest
staged on the Sank Centre floor so
packed with thrills. from Lyman's
circus shot into the south basket to
the final playoff.
The home team entered the game
confident of victory, considering that
they had been defeated at Milaca not
by the superior playing of the Milaca
team but by the cramped floor space
and low ceiling. But the visitors
showed remarkable improvement
over their former style and won the
game strictly by surprising exhibit
ton OF speed. This unexpected re-
yersal of form resulted in a case of
stage fright on the part of the Sank
Centre boys. who hurried their shots
and came out of the contest with a
long string of missed goals to their
credit.
At the end of the forty minutes the
score stood Is ALL In playing off the
tie, Milaca picked up one from a free
throw. made one goal which was dis
allowed .by the referee. and finally
Gagged the deciding shot. Score,

battles, that one would be hard to

The ancient rivals-teachers versus
pupils--clashed in struggle sanguin-
airy but indecisive. Such was the
proves of both teams that neither
was able to score a field goal on the
other, but through the meanness OF
the referee each side succeeded in
gaining one point by free throw.
Both teams then rested on their
laurels. The grand total of points
