The result in Dist. 80 is especially
gratifying, in view of the fact that
all except two of the signers met
with total loss of crops last year by
reason of the hailstorm which destroy
ed practically everything in the fields.
When No. 80 can show up so hand
some a result, there is no district in
the county that can escape the feel
ing that it should do something for
this worthy project to do honor to the
pioneers of the county. The commit
tee hopes that it will hear from many
other districts before the annual
meeting of the Old Settlers Associa-
tiOn in June.

than six points separate the teams,
For Madison Garborg at forward
was easily the star. Three times he
shot baskets from way out near the
center, on an over head shot, with his
back to the basket. Smogaard, who
was the big star last year, failed tc
play up to that standard. Woulfe, who
played against Severinson, handled
ball in good shape, and was all over
