sary war transportation, and be-

consul for the road, asking him to
see that all bridges are kept up
on the roadway and that the bed
is maintained in a condition to
permit heavy hauling at any time.

ment's order.
The letter follows:
The United States government
realizes that the Importance of
the Lincoln highway. 1t may be
required for military purposes.
We do not know what is going to
happen. The government urges
me to call to your attention the
Importance of this highway.
please see that all the bridges are
in good condition and that they
are kept so. II anything should
really go wrong with the railroads
or they should be tied up by
strikes, auto trucks would have
to go across the Lincoln highway
on government business.

WINS DECISIVE VICTORY
OVER MAcM0D IA

M. " H. 8. played it's first has
ket ball game on its home floor
and easily defeated Magnolia by a
score OF Al to A. Magnolia put
up game but useless fight
throughout the game. Chalouplsa
started the game Off with rush
by caglng a long basket from one
end of the hall. This was imme-
dlately followed by baskets by
Martin and Bradley. At the end
O1-the first half the score stood
~ to 8 in favor of the Valley. The
valley boys still remember the
defeat they received at the hands
OF Magnolia two weeks ago, and
came back into the second half
with more pep than ever. Bas-
ket followed basket while the
Magnolia guards looked on help
iessly. Emge and Good, the VAL
ley guards, played a good game,
and at no time We're the Magnolia
forwards able to get soft shot
for a basket. Magnolia sent i'm a
string of subs but these were un-
able to stop the scoring. A large
crowd of high school students
were urging on the Valley boys to
victory.
So far this season, M. v. II. S. |
has been beaten by Magnolia and
Little Sioux. Both of these
games were played on very small
floors and it is impossible TO play
good basket ball on small floors.
A fast team is always handi-
capped when going from a large
floor to a small one, because they |
cannot use their speed. This was
the case when the Valley boys |
went to Magnolia and Little Sioux.
On December 9TH Little Sioux
comes to the Valley to play, and
the local boys are sure anxious to
give them the drubbing that is
awaiting them. Lineup:
