SHEEP.

Yes, I like to talk sheep and I
would like it still better to see fifty
or more on every farm in Kandiyohi
county. They will help you to keep
the foul weeds down, pick up the
scattered grain in the field or if you
have a piece of lodged grain, just
turn your sheep on it and they will
make it into wool and mutton and
that means money now days.
I have farmed for thirty years and
have tried little Of everything, but
I have never, at any time, had any,
thing that would pay me better for
my work than my sheep. At the
present price Of Csc or more for wool
and 16-l7c for lambs, there is bound
to be a profit and the profit is bound
to stay because the homesteaders
have driven the sheep ranchers out
Of the west and if we want any wool
or mutton, it has to be raised on the
farm. Today, the whole world is de-
pending on the farmers for support
and by using everything in every
branch, we are helping our country
and at the same time beneitting our
selves; so let us all raise few sheep
and have them pick up everything
that otherwise would go to waste.
M. j. RUSTEN.
[NOTE-Mr. Rusten is making 1t
possible for anyone to start in with
sheep, at his first sale of breeding
stock next Monday. See his ad. on
page Fourteen.-Ed.

Played on Local Floor
Friday EVENING.

To local basket ball fans it will be
Of interest to know that the first
game Of the season will be played
here on Friday evening Of this week
at the high school gymnasium.
Paynesyille will furnish the oppose
ton in the high schools first game
of the season and tho it will not be
as fast as the later games are ex-
pected to be, there will be action
enough to suit tho most critical.
Willmar has another team which
looks capable of bringing the district
championship again to this city tho
Litchfeld will come in a close second,
furnishing about the strongest quin-
tet with which the local team will
have to do battle. OF last years
team Capt. Lundquist as forward, Is
the only first team man who play I'd
all thru the season, altho Kleve at
forward and Erickson at guard, took
part in a number of games. Beese
will occupy the pivotical position at
center and altho only a second team
man Of last year he is showing up fine
and will undoubtedly prove to be one
Of the mainstays Of the team. Carl
son is the only available man for the
other guard position and will stat
out in the fray Friday evening. The
way the men are lined up for the
coming game is as follows: Kleve and
Lundquist, forwards; Beese, center;
Erickson and Carlson, guards. These
players, tho not having a world of ex-
perience, will bear watching and give
some fine exhibitions of basket ball
during the coming season.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
grades have been granted the use Of
the gymnasium on Friday evenings,
which is first team practice night,
Capt. Lundquist states that they will
do their best to continue with only

FANS SURPRISED THAT.
RICHARD LOST GARDEN

New York, Feb. 10-Tex Rickard is the
sort of q man who can see his way over
obstacles.
He has proven to the satisfaction of
the hstic public that he has business
ability. and that when It comes to the
promoting game he bats around 800 all
the while.
90 1t was not surprising when Rickar6
lost Madison Square Garden, which he
had hoped for months to lease, that he
cooked up a new plan to uphold his
place in the spotlight as a promoter of
things flstic.
Tex announced recently that he may
build a large stadium and sporting club
in New York. He has his eye on a site
along Riverside Drive which is now oc-
cupied by buildings belonging to a gas
company, and he says that il his plans
work out as he hopes, a syndicate, of
which he will be the head, will erecs
the largest sporting club in the world.
With the warmer months coming soon,
Rickard is not making haste with his
plans for the building Of big sporting
club. He has his eye on the calendar.
and along in May and June he has hopes
Of staging several boxing shows in the
open air. He will rent one Of the major
league ball parks for his shows, and he
says that he will offer only the best at
fractions to the public.

MICK KING, AUSTRALIAN,
LOOKS LIKE A FIGHTER

New York, Feb. 1o.-Mick King, the
latest arrival from Australia, looks and
acts like a fighter. Mick has the same
pleasing personality that won so many
friends for Leslie Darcy when he landed
here. and they say that Mick can fight
like a wildcat when wants to.
King was the middle-weight champion
of Australia until he met Darcy Then
the title passed into the hands of the
Maitland boy. for the police stopped the
bout before the tenth round. when Darcy
had Kings eyes CLOSED and was giving
him an unmerciful beating in his own
corner
But. despite this fact, King and Darcy
are very friendly and they are planning
TO do much Of their training together.
King Is not the least bit puffed up about
himself, or inclined to brag about what
he can do.
He says that he will be more than will
ing to start at the bottom Of the ladder
and work up to a bout for the title. If
Darcy defeats all American entrants for
the middle or light-heavy-weight crowns,
King viii look forward to match with
him.
The newcomer Is said to be one of the
cleverest boys In the middle weight d.
vision and willing scrapper from gong
to gong.
New York promoters are waiting until
King gets ready for a battle, and when
he rounds into shape he will have no
trouble landing matches here.

TO TEACH RECRUITS
TRACK ATHLETICS

New York, Feb. 10.-If the United States
enters the great war there is one sport
which will not be hurt by 1t, and that is
track athletics. 1t is freely predicted
that track events will thrive in the event
of Uncle Sans raising a huge army of
his sons for the defense of this continent.
Following the lead of England and
France, sports will be made a large fac
tor in the training of the American volun-
teer. Reports coming from England tell
US of some wonderful athletes developed
since the war started through the medium
Of outdoor life and military athletic COM
petition.
Right now the American Athletic Union
should insure the prosperity of track ath-
Ietics in the event of war by inducing its
affiliated members to set aside a certain
percentage of the receipts of every set of
games held in the United States to be
given to the American Red Cross. or
some similar war charity. Such a move
would popularize the sport with the peo-
pie, and quickly silence all opposition to
the holding of athletic events during the
possible war period.

CARPENTER MAY
NEVER FIGHT AGAIN

New York, Feb. lO-Georges Carpenter,
the French star. has been serving his
country as an aviator almost continuous
ly since the outbreak of the war, and
during that time he has covered himself
with glory fighting for France.
But Georges has not been fghti in
the ring. and in the nervous busine-, Of
taking part in aerial battles he has be-
come addicted to the cigarette. 1t is said
that Carpenter smokes so many clgs-
rettes that his wind has been impaired,
and that only recently, in q short bout
against Jean Bicot, a boxer of the build
OF Al Palzer, he became so winded that
he was blowing like a bellows at the end
of four rounds. The pair boxed for the
nard, the French middle-weight CHAM
pion. who was killed in action.
II this report regarding Carpenter is
true, he has probably gone back con-
siderably since he abandoned the ring
for an armored aeroplane. and even
though he might be given plenty of time
TO train, be might still find himself un-
able to get into the same condition he
enjoyed when he took up his place with
the brave sons OF France at the front
Talk Of matching Carpenter with Jess
Willard has not received much favorable
comment on this side of the pond. Such
q match looks like a freak. to begin with,
for the difference in height aid weight in
the two men is altogether out OF proper
ton, and il appears to the fair-minded
boxing critic that it would be a crime
against the boxing game to bring them
together.

HENRY RESENTS THE
BULLDOzING Of BAN
Anxiously Awaits Showdown of Gar
and Fraternity at New York
Meeting Wednesday.

Amherst. Mass, Feb. 10-John Henry,
the Washington backstop who winters at
his home in this city, last night declared
that neither Ban johnson or any other
official of the American League could
take away his personal rights. Henry is
bitter against Johnson for this second
attack against him personally, and de-
clares that he is anxiously waiting for
the showdown to come in New York on
Wednesday next, SO that he can show up
the Car of the American League in some
Of his rulings.
johnson has no power to ride me out
Of the American League, and if he at
tempts 1t he will be violating an agree
ment made in 1914 in which it was de-
clared that there would be no disqoimi-
nation shown against any members of
the Baseball Players Fraternity.
Everything that l have done has been
above the board, and / will not hesitate
to place my case before any tribunal.
johnson is trying to get my goat. If
do make a statement the baseball world
Will be sure to take notice, as / know
some things connected with the efforts
on the part of the fraternity to secure
justice for the players that will go far
toward proving that the club owners in
baseball are by no means the good fell
lows they set themselves up 10 be.
II am certain that this feeling against
me is due to the fact that I sent my 1916
contract to the National Commission to
show that it contained a clause providing
for suspension of pay or release fifteen
days after disability incurred in the serv-
ices of the club. l am not soaring a mite.
I am only doing what I think is justice
TO the cause and being true to myself
and If Mr.. Johnson wants to make out
that I am not telling the truth. I will
face him with facts. l am anxiously
waiting for the showdown on this
matter
