ment of the Dickinson high school was

Of 20 to 3. Both games were fairly
fast, and the roofing was particularly
enthusia site.
In spite Of the bad weather Satur-
day night, a fair-sized crowd Of root
ers gathered to witness the final clash
Of the Juniors and Seniors. The
teams We're evenly matched and the
game was fast and snappy through
out. Just before the final whistle blew
the Juniors were one point ahead, but
the Seniors piled up enough baskets
in the last two minutes of play to
make the score Is to 9 in their favor.
The victory of the Seniors was
largely due to the work of McCutchan
and Guon, who played together like
clock work. Among the underclass
men Gordon Lillibridge distinguished
himself by his ability to block the ef-
forts Of the mighty Seniors.
The members of the teams were as
follows: & s..M
Freshmen Marcus Bakke, captain;
George Dingman, Francis Swope, Ed.
Roberts (8th grade), Phillip Mulaaney,

GOVERNMENT WILL
NOT CONFISCATE
MONEY IN BANKS

Secretary McAdoo has issued the
following statement:
Among the many absurd and VIC
ious rumors which are being put in
to circulation these days, probably
through pro-German influences, is
one that the Government proposes to
confiscate the money on deposit in
the banks. The absurdity Of the state
ment is obvious on it's face, but
have received letters from several
parts of the country which indicate
that this rumor is being circulated for
an evil purpose. Of course, these
rumors are wholly without founda-
tion. In fact, the government has no
power to confiscate the money of de-
positors in banks.

FIRST DRAFT MEN
LIABLE TO CALL IN
ORDER OF NUMBER

An erroneous impression is held by
many registrants with regard to the
second draft. The new draft does not
excuse those who have been examined
and passed by the boards engaged in
the first draft. They are still liable
to call, in the order of their service
number, providing the. number of men
in class one, on any particular call, is
insufficient to meet the demand.
Thus, should there be a call for 80
men in any particular county, and
should the draft one class offer but
go eligibles, 20 Of the men selected
on the first draft will be summoned in
order of the numbers which fell to
them when their names were drawn
at Washington.
Rules to follow will be found on
page five of this issue and every reg
istrant is cautioned to read them care
fully.

FORMER DICKINSON
man IS BACK FROM
Big BATTLE FRONT

Pat Harrington, veteran of the
Ypres and Somme war fronts, has
been visiting his aged mother, Mrs.
Mary Harrington, and two sisters and
a brother in Dickinson the past week.
This is his first visit to Dickinson, his
old home, since moving TO Prince
Albert, Sask., six years ago.
He joined the 44th Battery, 18th
Brigade, Field Artillery, in Prince
Albert almost three years ago, leav-
ing for England few months later.
After a short training in England his
battery was sent on to France, direct
to the battle front.
"From that time on" Mr.. Harring-
ton says, ''Hell seemed to have broken
loose. There was not moment of
rest: The din of artillery and the
crack of machine guns were incessant.
Soldiers became more like machines
than men, and their faces became pale
and drawn, and their muscles tight
ened." a -f <
Harrington took part in both the
Ypres and Somme battles; in the lat
ter conflict being on the job continu-
ously for nine weeks without rest, ex-
cept for few hours of sleep snatched
now and then. Wet to the skin,
plastered with mud, feet freezing, men
fought until they could fight no more.
A sea of mud was everywhere, every
bursting shell forming another NINA
ture lake of mire. 1t was continual
round Of barrage fire, shell fire, gas
attacks hand bomb attacks and
raids. .-.S /,
But there were also silver Innings to
the war clouds. When the boys were
sent back of the lines for brief rests,
they spent their spare time reading
letters from home, writing to loved
ones and talking over the joyful pos
sibility Of having Uncle Sans boys
come over and swing into line as a
powerful ally. The Red Cross and
Z. NJ. C. A. were everywhere in evi-
dence-in shell proof dugouts near
the trenches, and in comfortable huts
back in the safety zone.
Trench fever and rheumatism fin
ally got the better of Mr.. Harrington
and he was carried to the rear. But
the sudden change from the terrible
din of battle to quiet, racked his
nerves to such an extent that the
following six months had to be spent
in a hospital and home for the con-
valescing in England. He was later
discharged from the service owing to
physical disability, and ordered back
to Canada. His condition has now i'm
proved to such an extent that he ex-
poets to go back to his work on the
Canadian Northern railway upon his
return to Canada next week, being in
line for position as engineer.

TWO TEAMS TIED FOR
FIRST PLACE; THREE
AFTER THIRD PLACE

Baseball continues to excite great
interest among the fans Of the league.
Two hotly-contested games were
played last Friday when Captain
Lish's team cleaned up Capt. Blume's
boys by a score Of 1S to 8 and Capt.
Peterson's gang walloped Capt. Ko-
quette's boys by a score Of 18 to Is.
On Monday night, Capt. w. Koste-
lecky's team galloped in winners over
Capt. Peterson's team by score Of
18 to 5 and Capt. L. Kostelecky, with
his boys, smeafed Capt. Roquette-s
team to the tune Of 10 ito 8. The
games Wednesday night resulted fav-
orably for Capt. A: Kostelecky, whose
support brought in 10 runs to Capt.
Blume's teams and w. Kostelecky's
boys wiped up with Capt. Lish's OUT
fit, running up score Of II to s.
This materially changes the stand
ing Of the teams. Two Of them are
now tied for first place and three are
in the 800 class. The remaining three
have still to climb out of the cipher

WINTER's HERE

Winter has set in at last and Indian
summer is buried for season. The
thermometer showed % below Thurs
day night and though but Is below
was registered Friday morning, only
a thorough confidence in the veraclJy
of the weather man, led us to believe
the reading. "a nasty wind took fee.-
ing from ears and chins and it took
courage to promenade this week. The
stores report a fairly good business
despite the cold. This condition was
probably brought about by the abso-
lutte necessity for holiday shopping.

Wonders never cease. Since the

understood that the ladies have been

Of the drill master who, it appears,
has had some difficulty in getting the

Tuesday in order to obviate this diff

And the wonder of it is that they did
so. Such is the marvellous power of

Of NEWS
FORBIDDEN BY COURT

New York, April 14.-Formal or
der was issued by Judge Hand
in the federal court today putting
into effect an Injunction against
Hearst's International News Service.
forbidding it to pirate Associate Press
dispatches prior to publication.
On the plea OF the Associated Press
to prevent Hearst from lifting" dis
patches after publication. the Judge
said he was not suflciently free from
doubt to issue an Injunction. He
withheld action on the latter point.
upon agreement OF counsel for Hearst
to facilitate appeal to the federal cir
cult court Of appeals.
Thereupon the Associated Press
filed appeal and the Hearst attor-
neys appealed from the first point on
which the Injunction was issued. An
effort will be made to bring the ap-
peal to trial in May.
