BASKET BALL AT LUTHER.
Next to Last Game on Luther Floor.
And Promises to be Fast One.

On Tuesday February 1st you will
have another good chance to see a
fast game at Luther. This time she
has chosen as her worthy opponent
the North Dakota Aggies. These fell
lows have not only learned to plant
potatoes and SOW wheat, but they
have also learned to play basket
ball. Fargo is the centre of many
athletic contests. They come here
with a good basket ball record, and
| it is up to Luther to make it just a
| little bit poorer. With two of her
last years players, Sampson and Art
Natvig, in the lineup she stands a
good show in doing so. Captain
his knee will be we'll enough so that
he can play in this game, and so in
order to be safe he has worked in
Ben Sampson again on forward, and
we all know what he did last year.
This game will be played next
Tuesday evening, February LIST. Ev-
Ierybody ought to come out and sup
port the home team you will surely
not be disappointed. it is no second
Keewatin game. 1t will be a we'll
matched game. The game after this
, enc will be played on Feb. Sth. Since
the expense in getting the Aggies
down here is so large, the admission
will be 80 cents.

MAIL CARRIERS GO ON STRIKE.
Jefferson Rural Route Men BaIk
During Blizzard. Country PeO-
pie go Without Deliveries
for Five Days.

Jefferson, Ia, Jan. 24.-Patrons
of rural routes out of Jefferson got
no mail for five days because the
three rural route carriers struck"
when the blizzard, with its snow and
20 below temperature, hit Iowa last
Wednesday. The carriers said they
could not and would not make the
trips over their long routes in such
weather. Overtures made by Post
master Mugan had no effect on the
carriers decision.
Not until Monday was the post
master able to reach a solution of
the difficulty. Then he hired three.
teams and drivers to make trips over
the routes every other day.
The mail has hitherto been deliv-
cred in automobiles. Changes made
by the postoffice department last fall
heightened the routes appreciably
and made the task of delivering mail
in such temperatures as prevailed
last week formidable one.

William and Reuben Seegmiller, of
Locust, shipped four cars of fat
stock, two of cattle and two of hogs,
to the Chicago markets Sunday. The
shipment consisted of 131 hogs and
40 cattle. They commanded fancy
