Valley High Played
Moorhead to a Tie

Saturday the majority of the people

on the local gridiron this season. VAL

the season, tied the far-famed Moor
head team by a score of to 7. Out.
weighed by ten to Is pounds to the
man, the local boys, somewhat intim.
idated by Moorhead's appearance and
record, allowed the visitors to score
in the first few minutes of play. But
after getting their stride the boys
buckled to the task and played them
to standstill for the remainder of the
game. The forward passing of Valley
high was classy, to say the least. At
least 100 yards of their gain was made
over this route, our lone touchdown
being made by pass from Anfinson
to Weston. The thrill of the game was
the 80 yard pass from Atkinson to
Stenshoel.
Special mention and much credit
must be given to Arthur Bowen for his
generalship and snappy playing at
quarter. His playing at safety was
much in evidence, for several times
did the heavy backs plow through the
line only to be stopped by our diminu-
tive quarter. In fact, the playing of
the whole team was that of machine
and mention of one means mention
CT all.

TWO WAYS OF STORING STORAGE
BATTERIES

To the car owner who COntemplateS
storing his car during the winter, the
problem of caring for his storage bat
terry presents itself. 1t is not enough
to merely take the battery off the car
and put it in place where it cannot
freeze, for even when it is not in use
the battery is slowly discharging it.
self. If, therefore, the owner does not
give his battery definite attention dur
ing the winter, he is likely to find it
spring.
Storing the storage battery at the
battery service station is by far the
best solution to the storage problem.
In the Willard Service Stations, two
kinds of storage are offered to the
car owner, namely, wet storage and
dry storage.
Leaving the battery in wet storage
means simply that the car owner is
leaving his battery in charge of the
battery experts, who see that it is
filed with distilled water at regular
periods and that the best OF care is
, taken of it during the winter.
Wet storage, however, is not entire
ly satisfactory. The Willard Storage
Battery Company does not at all rec
ommend it for batteries that are over
year old or that have seen hard SER
vice. The reason for this is that
when the battery is in wet storage,
natural deterioration is all the time
going on, just as it is when the bat
terry is on the car. In the ordinary
course of events the insulation in a
battery is going to break down sooner
or later and this might happen during
the period that the battery is in wet
storage. The insulation then would
have to be entirely renewed to make
the battery serviceable and even were
this done there would be some ques-
ton as to whether the plates would
be in good condition for another sea-
sons service.
Dry storage is by far the more sat
isfactory means Of storing. The bat
terry is completely dissembled and the
elements removed from the cells, cur
ed and put in dry place, to be re-as-
sembled in the spring. Obviously this
is the one form of storage in which the
wear on the battery is absolutely stop
ped. If for no other reason, this
should recommend it to the automo-
bile owner.
In tearing down the battery the ex
pert will be able to tell its condition
without a doubt; he can determine
whether it is fit for service without
further attention or whether repairs,
if any, are necessary.
If the battery is stored dry it is
fitted with new insulation in the
spring and this method insures the
owner satisfactory service when the
battery is again put into commission.

money orders representing the annual

Not only are current payments being

and the treasurer's office has been
able to do little more than take care of
this golden flood and see that it is
properly accredited to the state aud
