business men who are loyal to Clay
county and Moorhead, will be the annu-
al meeting, Wednesday next, Feb. rs, at
the Lyceum theatre, Moorhead, of the
Clay County Farm bureau, the local
auxiliary to the better farming move
ment.
Today Pres. A. H. Costain Of the
bureau stated that the outlook for a
large and representative gathering in
Moorhead next Wednesday was decid-
eddy encouraging, also that letters OF
enquiry and expressions heard from
different communities indicated a
measure Of interest and enthusiasm
which augured well for the success Of
the very important agricultural gath
ering in Moorhead next Wednesday.
Mr.. Costain calls attention to an ad-
dition to the program, made since the
announcement of the tentative pro-
gram a few days ago. Farmers, gen.
orally, appreciate all the information
available on the subject of concrete
construction on the farm and he says
that for the ~edification and particular
instruction of the farmers and their
sons the subject will be discussed by
one who knows the value of concrete
in the business Of the farm, e. S. Fow-
Ter of Minneapolis. Proceedings next

TWO EXCELLENT SERMONS
Rev. w. n. kearns Gave Two Master.
iy Addresses at First Presby-
terrain Church,

Those who attended services at the
First Presbyterian church yesterday
were favored with two excellent SER
mons by Rev. w. II. Kearns Of Min
neapoIis, field secretary of the Pres
byterian board Of home missions, with
North and South Dakota, Minnesota
and Nebraska as his territory.
Mr.. kearnS Is an unusually gifted
speaker n his eXpositions Of Bible
questions were remarkably telling. In
his morning sermon he took for his
subject Principles That Conquer and
in a mastery sermon depicted the ele-
mentS that are necessary in successful
christianity. His presentation Of the
subject was thoughtful, eloquent and
made a deep impression on his hearers.
In his evening address Mr.. Kearns
took as his subject The Greatest Man
in History and in announcing his sub
ject said that throughout the country
ministers were preaching to their con
gregations on Americas greatest char
acter, George Washington. AS he had
prepared nc special sermon on Wash
ington, he wished to present a charac-
ter from the Bible ft to compare with
the father Of his country. In one Of
the best yer preached in this
city, Mr.. Kearns told Of the life of
Abraham and few who heard him will
ever forget the splendid manner in
which he discussed the life and acts Of
the great founder Of the house of
Isreal.
Mr.. Kearns is doing a great work
among the scattered communities of
the west for the Presbyterian church
and those who heard him yesterday
can we'll understand why he has been
SO successful in building up the out
posts among the home mission
churches.

La INQUIRE BESTS
ITS OLD RIVALS

LaMoure. N. D., Feb. 2s.--In a game
featured by brilliant playing, and by
rough tactics on the part Of the visit
ing team, the LaMoure five won from
Edgeley by a score Of 10 to II. The
game was a close and interesting one,
being a tie at the end Of the second
half. In playing overtime, Diesem Of
LaMoure shot the winning basket. 4
The score at the end Of the first half
was Is to Z with Edgeley at the long
end Of the score. But by close guard
ing, and sensational shooting of bas-
kets by Patterson and Diesem, La
Moure managed to, win the game, hold
ing their opponents to no baskets in
the last half. Grant McGinnis, Edge
ley's star forward, played his usual
heady game, annexing three baskets
and shooting five fouls.
In a previous game on Edgeley's
floor, LaMoure was beaten, and as a
result Edgeley came to LaMoure con
fdent Of winning an easy victory. But
the lightning team work of the home
boys, and the evident superior knowl-
edge of the game which they showed,
completely baffled and bewildered the
Edgeley outfit.
LaMoure has now won the right to
compete in the state tournament at
Valley City, and will undoubtedly
make a strong run for the state cham-
pionship.

Many of the late improvements have

MIDGETS AGAIN
DEFEAT FORKS

The Midgets demonstrated that they
out n ifs last Saturday night. The
| game was a go from start to finish
and was rough and fast. The teams
were fighting all the time and there
were not many chances for close
shots at the basket. The Midgets
were better able to find the ring than
their upriver rivals and made their
shots count. ..r. - e.
The score Of the first half ought to
give a good idea Of how evenly match
ed the teams were, the score at the
end of this period being Z to 4 In
favor of Fargo. and it remained for
the team that could make a strong
finish to take the game. 49,
Both teams came back strong, but
the Midgets kept the supremacy gain
ed in the first half, and the final score
was Is to 8, with the locals still in
possession of the bacon. Comparing
the scores for both halves 1t will be
seen that the teams played constantly
throughout the whole game. In the
second, half Kenufer, Of the visiting
team, was taken out on account OF
an injury to. his side. ~
The locals played an even game
throughout but were not up to their
usual standard, and did not seem to
be able to get into their right form.
The scoring on the local team seemed
to- be evenly distributed and it would
be hard to pick the star Of the bunch.
The Grand Forks team played a
hard game but were unable to get past
the Fargo guards. Their. team work
was fine until a certain point in the
floor was reached and then it was
broken up by the Midgets. The work
Of jackson and Ferguson was good
and their passing was fine. The team
from the north was somewhat weak
on their basket work however.
The Midgets have a clean record
50 far this season. having defeated
every team they have met. .

AGGIES WIN FROM
THE UNIVERSITY

In a rather peculiar game at the
university gym. Saturday afternoon the
Aggies defeated the. III" team by Il
score Of 80 to 25. The Aggies had the
q quint beaten at the end of the
hrst half, by a score of % to s. but for
some reason or other they laid down
in the second half, and the 'U"' team
waded into them in a fashion that bid
fair to- defeat the 'Aggies in spite of
their big lead. .,.>.ar
But the Aggies woke up In time to
realize that the game was slipping
away from them and the "U' boys were
unable to get the six points more need
ed for a victory.
Probably the reason for this con1-
plete reversal of form is found in the
fact that the "U' boys were too con-
hdent of victory after their defeat OF
the university of Minnesota, SO that the
deroe onslaught of the, Aggies, who,
went into the game with a mad deter
mination, took them w In the
second half, the Aggies believed them
selves to be SO far in the lead that1theY
were safe, and they took things easy,
which nearly proved their undofng.-

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded. streaked
or gray; also ends dandrufI, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make. it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays We simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui

large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that you
darkened your hair, as 1t does it SO
naturally and evenly. You danlpen a
sponge or soft brush with8it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. your hair be-
comes beautifully dark. thick. and

Harry Ackerland, one Of the stock
holders in the Chicago club. and John
Conway Toole, attorney FOR the Ma
tional league, participated in the con-
ference which resulted in the above ar
rangements and which was held at Mr..
Taft's office"
Murphy Is Rich.
Murphy, a former Cincinnati news
paperman, has made a fortune as pre-
sident OF the Chicago club. He reaped
a harvest when the team went through
several worlds series. Efforts to oust
| Murphy, who has been disliked by 9TH
er club owners, came to a climax i n
| New York a short time ago at the meet
ing Of National owners, when Murphy
announced Johnny Eyers, manager, had
been deposed. At the same time the
Cub president declared Hank O'Day,
veteran umpire Of the league, would
succeed Evers.
The magnates, whose tranquility had
already been upset by raids of the Fed
eral league on organized ball., were
further aroused when EVers wa de-
clared to be in conference with Fedora,
insiders. e
Evers a a contract to manage the
Cubs this year and. he insisted that his
rights be preserved, at the same time
maintaining he would not again play
for Murphy: The Cub president engf-
neered a trade, Of his star second base
man for Bill Sweeney, infielder., and
Hub" Perdue, pitcher of the Boston
NatlonalS. With EVerS' u~ltinlaturl,
Murphy was stumped. Boston insisted
and got Evers. 49, ~-. .--ss- ...er
TIA Tener's Hands.
The National owners decided Murphy
should be eliminated for the peace OF
their organization. The matter was
placed in the hands of President Tener.
Tener came to Cincinnati Saturday,
where other owners were gathered.
While the latter cooled their heels at
the Sinton hotel and watched the hours
glide, Tener was at the office of Taft.
Taft had backed Murphy when the lat
ter got the chance to get the Chicago
club.
Tener arrived shortly after noon from
New York. His party included William
s; Baker, president of the Philadelphia
club; James Gaffney, president of the
Boston club, and John c. Toole, direc-
tor of the Boston club. Immediately
upon his arrival Tener went in to con
ference with league magnates. On the
same train with the baseball party
were Charles P. Taft and his family.
Magnates who arrived early included
Barney Dreyfuss Of the Pirates, Schuy-
Ter Britton of the Cardinals and Harry
Hampstead Of the Giants.

Manufacturers Liable.

The, Minnesota supreme court handed
down a decision Friday holding that
the manufacturers Of a defective ma
chine are liable for any damage that
may result from it's defects. The case
was brought by Herman Krahn against
the j: L. Owens company of Minneapo-
lis. The defendant company manufac-
one of these machines to a Wisconsin
hrm which was employed by Krahn to
thresh his crop. Because of a defect IN
the machine Krahn was injured and IL
right leg. He sued the m-anufacturers
and a jury in Hennepin county awarded
him $4,000. The supreme court holds
that the company is liable, but that the
Verdtct is excessive and cuts the award
