predicted that an indirect result of

improvement in Montana breeds, re-

to clean up their old stock and en-

HAVRE BASKETBALL TEAM PRO
TESTED BY CHOTEAU HIGH

Principal C. NJ. Luce of the Chou
teau county high school has entered
formal protest to the state athletic
association against the Havre high
school, says the River Press. Mr.. Luce
claims the Havre high school is ineli-
gible to play in any more basket ball
games this year, because its team
played a game against the Great
Falls Y. NJ. C. A. team. In this game
Havre played their coach, Mr.. Chit
tick, and another outsider, which
makes the school ineligible because its
team included an ineligible player.
He has also entered individual pro-
tests against Kay, Golf, Brader, Ling
and Ling, of the Havre high team, fol
playing on a team where ineligible
players played. For this offense
Great Falls took off their three bes'
players for playing against Havr'
with the Y. NJ. C. A. team.
Mr.. Luce says he must wait unit
he receives the decision of the Stat'
athletic board before he can definitel!
decide whether all games with Havr'
will be called off or not. If the stat
board decides there has been no vic
lation of the rules, then the schedul
will be played as advertised.

BUSINESS IN JANUARY
VERY GOOD IN DISTRICT
Reserve Board Report Shows
Conditions Are Excellent.
Spring Outlook Fine

Optimism is the key note of the
January report of crop and business
conditions in the ninth federal re-
serve district. The report has been
issued by John H. Rich, federal re-
serve agent, and follows in part:
"In some respects January was a
month of surprises. The usual lull
in business after the holidays was
less pronounced than in former years,
and January retail trade was salts
factory, both in the cities and at coun-
try points. The usual falling off Of
bank deposits and loans and dis
counts was less marked than usual,
and the demand, although rates con-
tinued low and showed but little
change, was satisfactory. Over the
district as a whole there is evidence
of substantial prosperity.
"The poor crops have evidently had
little effect in impairing the pur-
chasing power of the farmers, and
there has beer a continued and no.
ticeable disposition to make invest
ments in the kind of permanent farm
improvements that contribute to pro
duction of better farm methods
From all parts of the district reports
show that since the last crop was out
of the way farmers have been putting
up dairy barns, silos and hog houses
and have been buying freely of gooe
stock.
"This was especially noticeable ii
