TEAM IS HANDICAPPED
BY FRANK CoLLEY.

Jim Tormey. Georgetown's crack bas-
ket-ball player and captain, when seen
the other night, with the object of OBJ
tanning his opinion on how the game with
George Washington would come out
, would not come across with the exact
dope. but enlightened the writer this
much:
I'VE have had hard time in getting
a good quint whipped into shape to meet
these strong teams, and as a good many
changes have taken place in the te"
games we have played a good compari-
son of what the players can do cannot
be ascertained, but We are working with
the idea to finish the season with great
Squirt and show these other teams that
got the jump on us at the outset that
we have got a club and one that viii
make things hum when they get going.
'Of course. we lost to Washington and
Lee. and the George Washington five
came out On top. but that is not saying
what they will do when they stack up
against us We shifted our men in that
game so much that the boys who played
throughout the game did not have a very
good chance to show what they could do
in the teamwork line, but they did show
that they are game lot OF players, and
well worth watching. l think that we
will give George Washington the game
Of their lives and let the best team win
Tormey is right when he says that the
Georgetown team has been handicapped
throughout the season thus far. but now
all of the players are rounding into shape
and the Buff and Blue Quint will have
TO look to their laureIs II they want to
come out with a victory in their game
with the Hilltoppers on February 3.
Harry AImon, the best little forward
that has ever sported the COlOrs OF the
George Washington University basket
ball uuint. said in regard to the coming
conflict with the IIlltOppers: You have
seen what We can do when we are hard
pressed-that was in the game against
Catholic University and what We will do
when we get against the HilltOppers Will
he the same Identical thing. Not saying
that we will win. Tor one can never tell
what will happen in a basketball game
hut we will he in that game Tor our liVcs'
and il the Georgetown team wins-well,
let's hope they won't, but, anyway, they
will know that they have been in real
game and not one where they can nave
things all their own way.
This game with Georgetown is consid-
cred ny many Of tho players to be the
best game of the schedule and We want
To win this game as much If not NOR"
than We did want TO win from catholic
University The players are all confident
of putting forth their best efforts and
will do their utmost to win for Schlosser.
As We all know that it was due 10 his
coaching that We we're able to show the
stun we are displaying this year. Here's
hoping for wir over the Riue and

date its schools by a big majority. At
present this township is building a
new $4,000 school house which will
be modern in every respect. It will
contain four class rooms, gymnasium,
rooms for manual training and domes-

Sam Tells About the
Indians

Editor Times-Record:
f, came to Barnes county with my
parents at the age Of IL, on April 10,
1881. Have resided here with the ex.
ception of short time in California
ever since. Ny father located on a
homestead in Sec. "a, in Svea town
ship the same spring. There were
only two houses between our place
and Sanborn and nobody lived farther
south than we in this part of the coun-
ty. Rosebud township, just south of
US, had not seen the pillow and there
was not even a claim shanty in the
whole township One morning saw
many hundred antelope two miles
north of where Litchville is now To-
Gated. We had a hard row to hoe as
father had no money to even purchase
the most necessary supplies for his
family, and the first winter we sub
sisted on bread, black coffee, pOta-
toes and the meat from an old worn
out work OK which we had to kill. Our
only COW went dry so we had no but
ter or milk. Our house was cold and
we could not keep warm with the poor
wood we hauled from the river. My
most cherished place was to embrace
the old sheet iron stove pipe, which at
no time got hot enough to burn me.
Father said, when things looked the
gloomiest, 'That it was best to give
the country back to the Indians" AS
soon as l became of age l homestead
ed in Sec. rs, in Svea township, and
have prospered. l have a $50 acre
farm, well improved, and right here
will say that in my opinion there Is
no better country in the world tor a
poor man, and, better still, for a man
of means to make a home than here in
Svea township and Barnes county.
Yours truly,
S. J. AANDAHL,

The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1915-11-18

Litchville, the metropolis of south
ern Barnes county, has population Of
500 people. 1t is located on the Cassel-
ton branch Of the Northern Pacific, %
miles southwest of Valley City and u
miles southwest of Fargo. This branch
was built in 1900 and Litchville dates
it's history from the fall of that year.
This town is one Of the largest pri-
mary wheat markets in the state. In
1912, 700 carloads of grain were ship
ped from here, beating every town on
this division OF the N. P. This fall we
have averaged better than a hundred
cars month. We have a Farmers
Cooperative elevator with 200 stock
holders which is great success. Last
year after the regular seven per cent
dividend was paid a rebate Of three
cents bushel was paid to those who
had marketed grain there.
We are shipping out hundred cars
of stock this year.
Litchville is the greatest cream ship.
ping station on the Cesselton branch.
We beat every town on the branch
in poultry shipments.
We have more churches than any
town of the size in North Dakota. The
following denominations have church
edifices inside the village limits: Ro-
man Catholic, Congregational, Dutch
Reformed, Swedish lutheran, Hauge
Norwegian Lutheran and Norwegian
Free church.
Litchville has five grain elevators,
a state and national bank, four general
stores, two automobile agencies, three
hardware and implement stores, feed
stores, jewelry store, photographer,
pantorium, moving picture theater,
shoe store, two lumber yards, two
blacksmith shops, hotel and restau-
rant, third class post Office with a sal
airy of $1,400, four rural routes, three
Of them being dailies. 50
The farming population is mixture
of the four best elements to be found
anywhere, namely, German, Scandinav-
ian, Dutch and native American.
The soil is deep black loan with
clay subsoil. Anybody interested in
our soil can get copy of the soil sur
vey made here two years ago by writ
ing to the department of agriculture,
Washington, D. C. This survey shows
the kind of soil on every quarter Sec
ton, ravines, sloughs, prehistoric
river beds, etc. According to this sur
vey our soil ranks with the best in the
state. Farm lands are still dirt cheap
here, running from $40 to $65 per acre,
according to improvements and dis
lance to market. ue
/ Lastly, Litchville- prides itself on be-
ing the home Of A. P. Hanson, speak
er of the last house of representatives,
and one Of the state leaders Of the re-
publican party. Mr.. Hanson has been
in the North Dakota legislature three

Following are some 1915 crop yields,
good, bad and Indifferent, as told to us
