According to Mr.. Jones, a large bit

4" Who Will Win
This Battle ?"

Your kidneys are the filters Of the bedy.
II they become inactive and fail to elm
mate the waste matter, they are apt to
throw the whole mechanism Of the body
out OF order, thus toxic poisons can ac-
cumulate in the system and be as deadly
as snake venom.
Besides causing the minor ailments Of
rheumatism, sciatlca, lumbago and back
ache. neglect Of the kidneys IS apt to
develop into more serious diseases, such
as diabetes or stone in the bladder.
Rid the body Of toxic poisons clean
the bladder and kidneys and cure the
twinges OF rheumatism with An-u-ric
and you win the battle of life.
Anurlc was first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and has benefited thousands OF sufferers
as well as appeased and eliminated the

Treat Seed Tor Smut
Smut causes considerable loss IN
grain crops. BY treating the seed
grain with formaldehyde most smuts
are killed. Use one pound of 40 per
cent formaldehyde to 40 gallons OF
water and leave the seed in it 10
minutes. The seed can be dipped in
to it in sacks or baskets, or smut
machine can be used. The formal
dehyde solution can also be sprinkled
on the grain while it is being shoveled,
but great care must be used to make
sure that all the seed is treated. Prof.
Bolley found in his trials at the N.
D. Exp. Station tn at the treatment
for smut increased the yield of wheat
2 bushels per acre even when no smut
was present. This smut treatment
kills the smut on wheat, oats and bar
ley that cause the most damage. The
loose smut on wheat and barley can
be killed by soaking the seed 7 to 10
hours in cold water and after drain
ing for an hour immerse 10 minutes
in water 1872 to 1873 degrees Farnheit,

BASKETBALL
TOURNAMENT
Seventy Athletes to Compete for
State HOnOrs I'm MinOt March 8
and 9-DifficuIt to Predict the
Winner.

The fourth annual state basketball
tournament for the northwest district
will be held under the auspices of the
Minot State Normal scvhool for two
days, Friday and Saturday, March 9th
and 9th, at the Normal school GYM
nasium.
Seventy athletes will participate in
this tournament. The tournament is
being held under the direction of H.
w. Corzine, of the Normal school, who
! has announced that the entries closed
last Monday evening and that there
were ten teams entered for the con-
test. This is the highest number of
teams ever represented in the North
west tournament, seven being the
largest number heretofore entered,
which were entered last year. The
following high school teams are to
compete: Towner, Bottineau, Willis
ton, Granville, Velva, Donnybrook, Mi
not. Kenmare, Bowbells and Crosby.
The games will begin at 9 o'clock
Friday morning and continue until 10
o'clock Saturday night. In all probab-
ility seven of the games will be play
ed on Friday and only two on Satur-
day. The winning team in the tour
nament will represent the Northwest
| district in the state tournament. which
will be held at Fargo later on in the
month.
It is rather difficult to predict the
winner in the tournament, as some Of
the teams in the extreme northwest
corner of the state have not put in an
appearance in this section during the
| basket ball season. Williston is MAX
| ing it's initial bow in the annual tour
nament and is expected to show con-
! siderable strength Rowbells and
Crosby are also dark horses in the
race. Coach Cesander, who led the
Kenmare team to victory in this dis
trict last year. now has charge Of the
Towner team and it is expected that
| he will spring = surprise with his
Youngsters on the opening dav. DON
nvbrook is shown favoritism by few
! close followers of the game. as they
have put I'D a verv consistent article
of basketball in this part of the dis.
| trict this year. SO far they have
broken even with Minot and Kenmare.
However, the Minot team is not in the
shape it was when it met Donnybrook
for the first time and will have to be
considerably strengthened to compete
with this team for final honors. Ken
mare has been winning consistently
and in all probability will qualify for
the semi-fnals and probably the final
honors. Bottineau has broken even in
two games with Minot and has lost
but one game this season. This record
places Coach Ho1comh's team high
, among the championship contenders.
Not much is known of the Granville
and Velva teams, as they have not
played here this year. but it is safe to
say that they have designs upon the
pennant and will put up hard scrap
for it.
Guy M. Ogle. Of Leonard, North Da-
kota. will referee the tournament and
Coach Shaw, of the Normal school,
will do the umpiring.

in such communities the farming
would depend entirely upon women,
many of them that knew nothing
whatever about handling horse,
much less tractor. If you care to
you might show this letter to Mr.. Hol-
