KlngwOOd High School Easy Winner

Last Friday night in the armory the
hingwood high school basketball team
In its first home game defeated Tun-
Melton high, 81 to 0, in fifteen minutes
OF play. II was not until ten o'clock
that the electric lights were on long
enough TO start the game. Just at the
close of the first half the lights went
of for all night.
The most notable feature about the
game was the score. TunneIton. the
few times that II had the ball, threw
wildly TO any part OF the armory. The
local team did not even get warm yet
displayed fast team work. The won
derful passing by the down the boor
men" to the forwards and the rapid
caging of the ball by Deacon" and
pie" White was exceptionally bril-
liant.
This game was not test for our
fast high school team, which has won
three and lost one game. With the
natural Improvement as the season
progresses they will not fall short of
the state championship, to which end
the boys are working diligently.
Although having lost money, due to
the lack of lights, the management was
highly pleased with it's patrons who
remained until ten o'clock for the
game to be played. Such interest and
loyalty is seldom displayed
For the future far better attractions
are offered and will come in the nature
of high school reward to the high
school supporters

Col. LarelIe for Good Ronds

Function, Jan. IL, 1916.
Editor Argus:
The reasons are 80 obvious why we
should have good roads that I simply
write to say that personally believe
that the people OF Kingwood district
would make fatal mistake in de-
feating the bond issue l take Il that
no citizen is adverse to contributing
toward worthy cause. Looking at Il
from my viewpoint / am firmly OF the
belief that every dollar contributed TO
build good roads will return three
fold to the taxpayer.
In voting the Sl64,OOO to build good
roads we are voting for that which is
to be expended within Kingwood dis
trict for the beneft OF It's citizens and
for which they will get value received
will add that personally have not
80 much as a wheelbarrow to run over
the county roads. and IL was govern
cd by mercenary motives that would
naturally vote against the bond issue
But am free to say that If my citizen
ship In a community consisted I'm sell
hshnoss and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT that the
citizens of that community would be
justified in waiting upon me and ask
ing that emigrate within a specified
time.
am enthusiastically for the bond
issue because know that II will re-
dound to the benefit and glory OF the
entire community, and that once the
good roads are constructed that even
the man who may vote against the
bond issue would join those who would
warn the man to fee for his life who
would want to deprive the people of
the good roads.

Impending dedication Of new 100000 labora-

culture. devoted to the science Of dairy farming
lis reminder OF the progress this state has made
in this important branch Of food producing. Corn
and hogs, wheat and cattle, and few satellites,
such as alfalfa, potatoes and sugar beets usually
monopolize the spotlight, and only now and
then does the behodcr get glimpse Of the COW,
patiently producing milk But the long milk
trains, unloading their millions Of gallons daily
at the great butter factories Of the state, afford
proof that the COW is an important factor in the
prosperity Of the people, and just as we improve
in our knowledge Of how to make and market
dairy products we will increase the profit The
University Of Nebraska is now better than ever
able to serve It's supporters with exact informa-
ton on all matters relating to milk supply, its
production and uses and Nebraska should greatly
benefit through this latest addition to its scen-
tihc equipment

No Enlightenment in Lloyd Georges Speech

In his speech to the House of Commons re-
ferring to the note from Germany, Premier Lloyd
George does not give promise of early peace His
of Won Bethman- Hollweg on the day the note
was dispatched. France and Russia have already
similarly referred to the proposals, that the
Allies willing to fight on but await with inter-
est to see what Germany offers II it is, as the
emperor is reported to have said, the peace Of
conqueror he offers, the war will continue for
some time to come. Russia still wants its open
way through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles;
France is not ready to forego Alsace and Lor-
rainc after the sacrifices Of the last two years.
and England must protect the passage to India
and Egypt Germany wants its path to the east
cleared, its place in the sun, and there you have
the main items. The restoration Of Belgium, the
re establishment of Poland and Lithuania, the
rehabilitation Of Serbia and the recovery of ltalys
lost provinces now are thrust into secondary
position in the possible peace bargain.
What is really Of more interest than the pub
lie addresses Of the several prime ministers Of
Europe is the proceedings in the cabinets. The
counsellors Of Europe alone know what the war
has cost, Is costing and will cost and with them
at present rests the determination OF whether
the price will be paid. Lloyd George sheds no
more light on this point than any Of the others,
and thus leaves the entire matter in the realm
of speculation. Each Of us may hold his own
opinion as to the probable duration Of the war,
and the opinion OF one is just as good and no
better than the opinion of the rest.

Bryan's Attitude Toward 1920.

Mr.. Bryan's Commoner is always as interest
ing and often more suggestive, because OF the
articles specially selected for reprint as for the
original contributions Of its editor. II anyone
had deluded himself into believing Mr.. Bryan's
presidential ambition to be wholly abandoned,
his mind will be disabused at perusal Of the con-
tents Of the current number from this point Of
view.
From a California paper an article is repro
duced. for the benefit Of Commoner readers, cap
toned 1.-THE Campaign OF 1920" which, among
other things says:
President Wilson will not be available in
1920 and the democratic party will have to
select another candidate--one who has an ur-
bemished record on the question of prohibition.
That man will likely be Bryan, W. J. Bryan,
William Jennings Bryan OF Nebraska and
Florida, the man who has thrice fallen in such
contests, but who arose stronger and more
optimistic after the ballots had been counted.
Lest there may be any misunderstanding an
other article with the heading, Bryan and 1926"
is credited to the Jamestown tPa) Democrat,
from which this extract is taken;
The Bryan shadow looms portentously on
the horizon Of 1920. Mr.. Bryan has repeatedly
stated that he never again expects to be can
didate for Office but he has also stated that he ex
poets to devote his remaining years to the serv-
ice Of the people In all ways open to him and
without reserve. As the foremost champion Of
prohibition he may find himself, in 1920, in
position where he cannot escape the call of
those who believe with him, that the power OF
liquor in politics must be overthrown.
Pointing in the same direction is reprint
OF the election comment Of New Jersey paper
volunteering this information:
The two leaders now visible for 1920 are
Bryan and Roosevelt for the nominations for
president.
In politics. as elsewhere, actions speak louder
than words Especially is this true in this case
when it is remembered that every time Mr.. Bryan
has denied being a candidate for president he
has coupled the denial with the declaration that
he will not give bond never to become a candi-
date again. No one who follows Mr. Bryan and
his political methods can escape the conclusion
that not only will he not run away from nomi-
nation in 1920, but that he might be persuaded
to run halfway to meet it.
