They Weren't Superior

That's a wretched pun, but in that
fact it matches we'll with the enter
tainment afforded by the Superior
basketball quint on their visit here
last Friday evening.
At $40 the opening whistle found
the large crowd of spectators in
tense and breathless expectancy. A
moment of terrific battle ensued,
and out of the melee an orange and
black warrior shot out from the
mass and scored the first points. It
looked dubious. A moment later the
tally was tied; then free throw put
the locals in the lead. Some bold
prophet whispered out that River
Falls wouldn't score more than two
to one. An eager friend silently but
quickly accommodated" the prophet
on that proposition. And the game
went merrily along. The solemn
quiet was rudely shattered between
halves when a gang Of students gro
tesquely CARRIED, staged a farce that
was truly funny. Then peace and
quiet were restored and for Is
or 20 minutes the hall revibrated to
the canny clicking of the cards in
the local score rack. The end came
in due time, and the crowd arose
solemnly and retired peacefully to
it's respective homes.
The participants in this sad affair
were Messrs. Bethel, Eccles, Thorpe,
Eggebrecht, Rice and Peterson from
River Falls, and Masters Mcnamara,
Pryar, Donald, Defer and Moore of
Superior.
The official Reporter announces
the following facts, which may throw
some light upon the nature OF the
ceremonies. Mr.. Bethel and Mr.. Eg-
gebrecht made Ii field baskets each;
Mr.. Eccles made 2; Mr.. Thorpe 3;
Mr.. Rice 1. Bethel added A points
on free shots, The Mcnamara boy
scored 2 field baskets and Masters
Pryar and Defer l each. They con-
fined said offense to the first half,
maintaining a dignifed restraint
during the final period. Credits Tor

Haven't you confused the Easter
lilly with the Chinese Sacred lilly?
The Easter or Bermuda lilly is not
brought to bloom in water. but is
planted. Mr.. Vlieland informs us,
at least four months previous to the
date desired. He planted his Easter
lilies about the middle of last Octo-
Der. The Chinese Sacred lilly bulb
is brought to bloom in water of 60
degrees temperature and a period Of
six weeks is allowed. If you have
this variety, put the bulbs in water
about the 25th of February, as
Easter Sunday is April 8.

REWARD IF s50
 MADE BY NATION
 FUR OBSERVERS
Blanket Offer Is Made to Officers and People by Provost Marshal General
 in Latest Announcement

Fifty dollars is now the price for slackers or deserters.
 This amount has been set on the head of those who for any cause what ever have failed to register for the selective draft, who have registered and failed to answer the call to appear for examination, or who have regis tered, appeared for examination, been certified to the national army and then have disappeared.
 This notice from the provost mar shal general was received yesterday at the office of the governor and of Col onel Fred S. Breen and was immedi- ately relayed to every local board in the state and to all federal, city, county and state officials. It means that the last day of grace for the stacker has expired and that now he is a plain de- serter from the United States army with the severe penalty attached to such an offenSe hanging over his head.
 The reward offered by the govern ment applies to every man of military age who is a delinquent, whether he is able to furnish an excuse for his de- linquency or is a plain deserter. It will serve to place on the trail of these slackers and deserterS a great police force of officials of all grades and of civilians attracted by the sure reward offered with no strings to it. It will be paid for any stacker or deserter turned over to the nearest army camp.
 Following is the offer as made by the office of the provost marshal gen. eral:
 "A reward of $50 is payable for the delivery at the nearest army camp or post of a deserter This reward is in full satisfaction of all expenses in- cured in said delivery.
 "A person who fails to report to his local board for military service at the time specified in his order to report is a deserter.
 "A person who fails to report for military service to the adjutant gen eral of the state by the date specified in the order of the adjutant general to said persons is a deserter.
 "It is highly desirable from every standpoint that an effort now be made to round up all persons who are de- linquent in reporting for military ser vice.
 Tt is thought that if the fact of re- ward is given the widest publicity, we shall have great force of police off cers and even of individuals interested in bringing such delinquents under military control.
 If after such persons are brought to military authority it appears to the military authority that their de- linquency is not willful they will be forwarded to mobilization camps and their local board will be given credit
 If it appears that the delinquency was willful they will be prosecuted be- fore court martial as deserters. In either case the reward is payable.

tioning the young woman admitted that some three weeks ago, while Tharpe was still prisoner in the county jail. she had carried magazine to him and that concealed within the pages of this magazine were dozen steel saws. The officers say that the girl said these saws were given her by Cliff Tillman, employed at a local garage. The arrest of Tillman was made a few minutes after this alleged confession was made by the Dean girl. It was also stated by the police yesterday that they had eidence that Tharpe had passed steel drills into the jail through the windows These are the drills the deputy sheriffs found under the floor of the cell occu- pied by Collins.
 A bride of but three weeks, Mrs. Kennedy took her confinement in the city jail unusually hard. She reiterated that her connection with the affair was not criminal and expressed confidence that her release would be brought about within d few hours. Iva Dean, on the other hand, after being held d few hours seemed to appreciate the seriousness of her predicament hut at tributed her plight to an uncomfortable desire to experience the sensation of being on the inside of a big crooked Qeal's
 United States Marshal Joe P. Dillon was concerned in the attempted jail de- livery because of the fact that it was believed yesterday that Kennedy, the alleged slacker was in on the plans of the others and that in the event of a jail break he would have been one of those making a getaway.
 Tillman was questioned closely after being arrested yesterday but it is un- derstood that beyond a complete denial of the charges of the Dean girl the of- ficers secured little in addition to what information they already had. Miguel Osuna, Buckeye bank bandit, was also questioned but beyond admitting volve himself.
 Today Sheriff Wilky expects to have the plumbing leading from the jail into
 the sewer opened in order to find the
 broken bits of steel saws which were passed into the sewer with a pot of cof- | fee. It is said these saws were dis | posed of in this mariner at the same time the search of the jail was being | made.
 ! County Attorney L. M. Laney started a full investigation of the affair yes
 terday and it is expected that forma
 charges will be lodged against the five now held, and that perhaps these
 charges will be extended to include 1 three or four prisoners who planned tt | make their escape.

WAR BRIDES" TO BE
SHOWN AT THE STRAND

In keeping with his policy to give
Marietta the finest pictures obtain
able, Mr. Marchman has booked the
great Brenon production of War
Brides" to be shown at the Strand
on Thursday, March 1st.
This picture was produced by Mr..
Herbert Brenon, sole author and
director of "A Daughter of the
Gods, and other great pictures
and in it ne features the great Rus
sian actress Nazimova The story
is taken from her greatest stage
success by the same name. The play
is by Marion Wentworth and is said
to be a story of greater tragedies
than those of the trenches.
The photodrama begins with a
series of pictures of the lives of
peasants, and their hard struggle
for existence. Joan, the central
figure, played by Nazimova, is loved
by a young man of the village, and
they are betrothed. Then comes the
shadow of approaching war, and
they are married. In a few weeks
the young husband goes to the
front, soon followed by his three
brothers. Word is received that
the husband has been killed in bat
tie, and Joan's impulse is to end
her own life, but prospective moth
erhood recalls a new responsibility.
The military authorities begin
a movement to get the young wo-
men of the neighborhood to marry
departing soldiers, that the empire
may have another generation of
fighting men. Joan is aroused,
and goes among the women urging
them not to submit. For this she
is imprisoned. Word is received
that the King is to pass through
the village, and Joan escapes from
her cell to organize the women in a
general protest against the war.
She leads them, all clad in black,
in a long procession to meet the
monarch. The soldiers threaten to
shoot her unless she turns the wo-
men back, but Joan comes face to
face with the ruler, and kills her
self, as her message from the wo-
men, their refusal to make another
generation victims of a ruthless mi
| litarism.
The admission price for this pic
ture will be % cents to all.
