With 80 men out Of practice includ-
ing several promising candidates. for
the line. football prospects at the
Grand Forks high school took a roster
tinge Tuesday afternoon.
Coach "Hurr yUp" Heinie O'Keefe
took advantage Of the cool weather
yesterday to put his men through a
stiff scrimmage practice, the second
team being given the ball the greater
part of the time.
The scrubs tore great holes in the
line of their opponents, and frequent
ly made long gains which could only
be stopped by h secondary defense.

composed entirely Of veterans, jacob
and Duggan playing the halves, Cap

GRAIN SHIPMENTS
COMING SLOWLY
Many Farmers Holding on
to Wheat Say Local Rail-
way Officials.

Grain movement in this part of the
state is comparatively light at pres
ent, according to the local officials of
the Great Northern railway.
This is largely due, it Is said, to the
desire Of the farmers to hold on to
their wheat at present, in the expec-
tation that higher prices will prevail
later in the year.
The present good weather, too, is
being utilized by many of those who
have finished threshing, to begin the
fall blowing, and they do not wish to
AXE the time at present to market
AS a result of these conditions few
farmers, except those actually forced
by financial pressure to do SO, market
their grain.
The local agents say that there ap-
pears to be no probability of any
shortage of cars, although the grain
movement a little later in the year
will probably be far greater than it is
at present. 800,
In the meantime the grain is COM
ing in steadily from the western part
of the state, and although these ship
ments will also probably increase in
volume later in the year to a consid-
cradle extent, the conditions are on
the whole thoroughly satisfactory.

BUILDING PLANS
NEARLY COMPLETE
Work on NsW' High School
Will Probably Begin
Next Spring.

Plans and specifications for the
new high school which is being plan
ned for this city will probably be
completed duringf the next week or
two, according of. F. Burchard,
secretary of the school board.
If this is the Ease it is possible that
the contract for h new building may
be awarded this fall. 1t is not thought
however, that it will be possible to
begin actual work on the new build
ing before next spring.
The plans are being prepared by
w. v. Edwards, architect, who is
holding frequent consultations with
the building committee of the Grand
Forks school board.
1t is planned to erect the building
or the unit system in such q manner
that additions may be made later, as
the increase in the school attendance
requires. without impairing the arch
itectural lines of the structure.
The necessary appropriation for
the erection of the first unit is includ-
ed in the school board budget for the
present fiscal year.

The Worth of the Upper Peninsula is
Being Recognized All Over

The potato campaign carried on in
the upper peninsula during the past
year has certainly borne fruit. Peo.

upper peninsula as potato growing
section. Witness the latest from the

that the potatoes grown in the
"Cloverland are of such a uniquely
valuable character that they are sent

enough nowadays to nave fine fruits
shipped with this extreme care. but 20
find the humble potato raised to such
a lofty eminence is a convincing proof
that the upper peninsula not only
grows superb quality of the sucoulent

pay the price that such choice products
must demand.
Those who have been thinking of the
upper peninsula as comparable TO
