The Morgan high school bas-
ket ball team went to Morton
Friday evening where they de-
feated the Morton high school
team by the score of II to g..
This is Morton's first defeat this
season, having won seven
straight games and it is their
first defeat on their home floor
for several seasons. The first
half ended 5 to 3 in Morton's
favor, with only on field goal
made, which was made by Nor
ton. In the start of the second
half Morton stalked up a free
throw and field goal making the
score 8 to 3, but Morgan soon
came back and when the. final
whistle sounded Morgan had
made four field goals, making
the score Of II to 8, in their fav-
or. The winning Of this game
was a surprise to the Morgan
boys themselves since they were
rather frightened at the pace
the Morton boys had been 60
ing. In two seasons out of thir-
ty-one games played Morton has
only lost two games, one last
year to Willmar on the Cotton
wood floor and this game with
Morgan. The Morgan boys sure
ly deserve credit for being able
to defeat Morton and especially
for defeating them on their
home floor.

CONDITIONS IMPROVING

Conditions as they are develop ing ill the general situation are gradually making for optimism rath CT than pessimism. Thus the fla vordbIr turn in Mexican affairs and the continued success of the Allies in EuroRe are most promising fea- lures.
 General trade Is holding it's own. This Is shown by the better com mercIal demand for money. If we are losinz some of our foreign trade we are gaining in domestic busi- ness. Our enormous prosperity is beginning to tell. Our consumptive power is larger and people show more confidence { expand. It is believed that the current period of imitation will expand rather than contract before any reaction due to peace In Europe becomes operative.

REAL PREPAREDNESS

Military preparedness wins the EauIe, but industrial preparedness wins the war; says 3 Teo7nt issue Ut bulletin issued by the com mittee 3f industrial preparedness 0T the naval consulting board Of the united states.
 This statement Is made in the belief hat the United states, in- dustrially, is the worlds most powerful nation Thirty thous- and engineers and chemists of the United States, members of scien- titic bodies, have for months been making a minute and sweep ing survey of the industrial re- sources of America. They have formed as q patriotic move, a great flexible organization unlike any in me world, establishing the basis for creating a true line of de- fense in time of war. It is shown that in this country We are pre- pared to make in abundance every thing required to carry on sus- taiued and successful warfare.
 While the United States would unquestIonably enter into war woe fully urprepared from strict mili- tary standpoint, her industrial pre- paredness is without equal on the face of the earth. This. coupled with the nations unbounded wealth makes a combination before which the most powerful military fore must sooner or later fall.
