Enabled Local High School
to Defeat Montpelier
High, AZ to 10
TEAM WORK SHOWED
BIG IMPROVEMENT
A Large Crowd of Rooters
Helped to Encourage
Barre Boys

Spaulding gave an exhibition of first
class basketball last evening when she
won over the Montpelier high sehoo
team at the Spaulding gymnasium by
the score OF As to 10.
The game was the local boys almost
from the blowing of the referees whistle
for the first basket OF the game was
Gagged by Mann and was followed soon
after by two more contributed by Carroll
and Nichols, These three men secured
all the points for their team during the
period with six, three and two baskets,
respectively. Montpelier's only points
were secured by floor basket each from
Clark and Jangraw and a free throw by
Clark. The passing Of the Spaulding five
throughout this half was excellent and
| the teamwork exhibited throughout the
whole game was revelation to the root
ers, who have seen no such exhibition on
the floor this season The throws were
accurate and were received with little
fumbling. Signals at the toss-up seemed
to work out well for the Barre team, but
if the Capital city team had any they,
were ineffective. The score at the end
of the first period stood % to in Spauld
ing's favor.
Coming back on the floor in the face
of such a handicap the Montpelier team
seemed discouraged from the start Of the
last period, though Captain Gross and
his running mate, Clark, both did their
best to revive the spirit of the team.
Each secured a fine shot from the center
Of the floor and Gross Gagged two in add
ton, while Clark did his share with four
fouls successfully Gagged Jangraw also
secured basket from the floor in this |
period, but these represented a total of |
the points gained by the visitors during /
the half, Montpelier had two fouls |
called on her in the final period, these
two being all the penalties inflicted on
her during the game The members OF /
the Spanlding team all scored during
the period, Mann securing three Carroll |
and Nichols four each and the other two
men one each. The score for the half
was Spaulding 26, Montpelier A.
The win last evening, it is safe to say,
was at least in part due to the large and
crowd of Spaulding support
ers present. They began to stream in
at the opening OF the doors aud by s
o'clock seats and standing room alike
were filed, The spaulding rooters gave
the team the support it deserves and the
results of the game should point out to
them the value of such support.
A bonfne in the City square and a
.orchlight procession, with frequent
'heers for the various men in the team
who made such rejoicing possible were |
'fter-results of the game.

SOLDIERS WILLS.
Make Hard Legal Problems to Solve in
Germany.

Berlin, Feb. Questions OF the val
idity of soldiers wills, generally made
in the field and often in the form of
letters home, have given the civil courts
some hard nuts to crack. In more than
one ease the perfectly patent intention
Of the deyisor has had to be ignored be-
cause he did not know how to draw up a
binding document.
Two such cases have just been passed
upon. and the verdiets have been OPP
posed to each other through sheer ac-
cident The first is that of soldier
who wrote from the trenches of France
to his fiancee telling her that if he
should fall he wanted her to have one
half of his property. He sent second
letter TO her parents which he signed
"Your Son Fritz" The first was signed
"Your true Fritz"
BY accident rather than by design he
wrote out in one of the letters his full
name and address TO indicate how let
tiers to him should be made out. The
court held that this accidental insertion
OF the full name legally established the
identity OF the testator, as his signature
did not, and therefore upheld the yalidi-
ty OF the letter-will
A similar case went the other way be-
cause tile letter was signed only by a
Christian name. A mother sued in be-
half Of her daughter for half of a fallen
soldiers estate, ON the basis OF a letter
signed only Heinrich" and not dated
from any definite place. Though there
seemed to be no moral doubt of Helm
rica's intentions, the court ruled against
his fiancee.

British are a race of long sleeves (poor
fighters. We cannot afford TO keep com
panyswith such country"
Prof. Masutaro Niita, another member
of the staff of the Imperial university,
contributes an article in which he de
clares that the development of .Japan's
national power and the increase of the
navy may give feeling of great anxiety
to England and her colonial possessions
in the Orient, especially as to the fate of
Australia. Japan's star indicates that
she must develop her power on land and
sea and if Japan should expand greatly,
England doubtless would not like it. The
writer urges that the responsibility of
Japan arising out of the alliance is great
err than that of England and that at the
present time England is using the treaty
as a club to beat Japan. He thinks that
the alliance has lost its foundation both
for Japan and for England
To solve the problem of what effect the
war viii have upon the alliance one must
decide what the result of the war win be.
He thinks that while Germany is in a
superior position at this time she will
doubtless be Inundated by the entente
powers. But Prof. Niita figures that
since the entente powers are losing their
strength they viii naturally wish to con
clude peace in due time, a peace which,
he thinks, will be made on terms of re-
storing the ante-war status and bound
airy lines as much as possible. The pro
fessor is apprehensive as to the burden
that may be placed upon japan in the
future on account of the alliances and he
IS fearful as to the safe outcome of Jap
ans policy in China, which is that of
seeking economic development. To Sc
cure a market in India is next in inn
oortance to securing a market in China,
n his opinion. He realizes that some In
lians may think of securing the indie
,endence of India but is rather inclined
o think that from the Japanese stand
,oint it is better that India remain un
Ter British rule.

BOMB LIKE A WOMAN"
Because You Can Never Tell What 1t is
Going to Do Next.

London, Feb. "a bomb is like a
woman, you can never tell what it is
going to do next" writes an Irish officer
4 from the British front in Flanders. He
| has been engaged for several weeks in
experimenting with bombs and various
new-fangled bomb throwing devices.
"The more one has to do with bombs,
! the more afraid one becomes of Them"
he continued, "for one cannot play with
explosives all day without going aloft
some time, and the toll of good men who
have been blown to pieces by their own
bombs is both long and sad.
Bomb throwing as an art is still in
its infancy, changing almost from day
to day, and what state of development
or perfection it will have reached be-
fore the end of the war cannot be
guessed At the best it is fiendisii
way of fighting, for its injuries are
ever of the ghastliest.

in the middle, almost touching them

"One morning twenty or more mem
bers of the general staff came around
to our trench to witness test Of a new
arrangement for throwing /
bombs TO the considerable distance of
250 yards. With great interest they |
watched the screwing down Of the great 1
arm, and the placing and securing Of the 4
bomb in position. Then upwards and /
swung the arm, but the mis-
sic, instead Of hurting in the direction
Of the enemy, rose gently a few feet in

HANDLING SUGAR PROBLEM.
Germany Proposes to Increase Price to
Encourage Production.


BERN, Feb, 0--An increase in the
maximum wholesale price of sugar beets
from 35 pfennings per hundred-weight
/ to 1856 or even l.50 is held to be neces.
sary if production is to be encouraged
sufficiently to insure a normal crop in
1916. Representatives of the sugar in
dustry, and of agriculture in general,
gathered recently in the ministry of the
interior to discuss the sugar beet prob
lem According to the best obtainable
estimates, the 1916 sugar production
from the beet crop will total only 80
million hundred-weght, as against a
normal production OF from 80 to SIS
hundred weight
The reason for the decreased produc-
ton lies primarily in the high price of
grain. Farmers find it more profitable
to plant their farms to wheat than to
beets because the wheat brings them
higher prices. Therefore, if beets are
to be grown again, the price for them
must be increased. Many of the sugar
representatives pleaded for maximum
price at 100 marks or even two marks
per hundred weight. 1t was pointed out
that the cost of labor has greatly in
creased and that many other fixed
charges that enter into the production
of sugar from beets have gone up. The
majority of those present at the meet
ing, however, agreed that a maximum
price of l50 was sufficient to induce
increased planting of sugar beets, to a
point whereby about 40 million hundred
weight would be raised in all probabili-
ty. This new price, it is proposed, will
become effective Sept. /, 1916, or before
the crop is harvested. The 40 million
hundred-weight, it is believed. win be
amply sufficient for all of Germany's |
needs.
The proposed increase in the price of
sugar beets will cause a corresponding |
increase in the price of raw sugar 1t /
now is controlled by maximum price

JAPANESE CRITICISE

Some Doubt Expressed About the Con-

anee. So violent has been the campaign
of attack that another part Of the press
has risen to the defense OF the alliance
and the correspondent of the London
Times for the far East in an article made
a detailed answer to the japanese crit
icisms. The tenor of this article caused
as much sensation dis the original Jap
anese outburst,
The Japanese criticisms of the alliance
were largely written by professors in the
Imperial university, headed by Prof
Tongyu Tatebe, who is teacher of lit
erature. These writer's mostly conclude
that the alliance with Great Britain is
harmful to Japan. Prof. Tatebe doubts
whether the alliance can be continued for
long because there are but few points of
identity in the national ideals of Japan
and England He said: Gan such great
honorable national ideals as those held
by Japan be found in England? Intelli-
gent persons will be able to decide at
once as to that As the national ideal of
England is individualism and selfishness,
so the guiding principle of England in
dealings is also individual
ism and selfshness."
And the professor continues: Japan
stands for loyalty and Justice Germany
for loyalty and injustice; England for
selfshness and disloyalty. 1t is because
Of this selfishness and disloyalty that
England, while speaking of ultimate vic
tory is reporting daily advance by an
inch and retreats by another inch. The

IN BOSTON MARKET.
Not Much Snap to Butter Market-Egg
Prices Remain Firm.

Boston, Feb. 9-There is not a great
demand for butter locally, buyers mere
ly covering their immediate needs in the
belief that prices are more likely to
90 down than up in the near future.
Prices, however, hold up under the inau-
ence of fairly strong adviees from the
outside market, which are in turn in
fuenced by weather conditions III the
important producing section. The
cheese market shows little activity and
is not over and above steady; local
wants are restricted by high prices,
while scarcity of steamer space keeps
down the export demand. The egg mar
ket is firm, as supplies are still barely
sufficient for wants and weather reports
suggest that another cold snap is on the
way.
