Great Interest Sholun in
Red Cross Athletic Contests

If Chairman McCulley and his COM
mittee keep on as they have started
out it will take the open air to accom-
modate the crowd.
The old hall was packed to the doors
last night at Exhibition No. 2 put on
by the athletic committee of the local
Red Cross. Every chair in the house
was filled as we'll as the gallery when
8 o'clock came, and the crowd kept
coming until away past o'clock. And
it was an interested lot of people too.
1t shows that Oalxes enjoys athletic
feats little better than anything
else.
The Camp Fire Girls opened pro-
ceedings by singing the Star Spang]ed
Banner" which was followed by a
three-round fistic encounter between
Harry Bartlett and Skeeter Loepp.
This is always interesting.
Alvin Wilcox and Ralph Potter put
up good fistic encounter for two
rounds and r. j. Wilson and Ted Bart
lett made things lively in two-round
bout.
The Camp Fire Girls were loudly
encored when they sang KNITTING y
; and neatly responded.
1t is always funny to watch two
youngsters handle their dukes especi-
ally if evenly matched, and Tommy
jenkins and Kenneth Espeland, cer-
tainly did entertain the crowd. They
were introduced by Chairman Guy as
Fred Fulton and Jess Willard.
Miss Matte Mitchell put on an ex-
hibition of club swinging that was
much appreciated.
The gang bout between Marion Free
man, Clark Smith, Grant Wegner.
George Hunter and Don Fuller was a
free-for-all that elected much merri-
ment. The two-round contest between
Levi Harris of Oakes and Carl Bower
man of Fullerton was spirited.
The real interest was in the wrest.
ling matches. Martin Youngdahl of
Route 1 went against Art Leonard of
Monango. best two out of three falls
Art. asked that the toe hold and ham
merlock be barred and as this is one OF
strong points of his opponent it. pu,
the latter at a disadvantage. Young
dahl won the first fall in 9:32 minutes
the second and third falls were in
favor of the Monango man in 6:..5 and
9:45.
Clarence Enger gave a good ACCOUNT
of himself in his wrestling with Wren
ME Williams. 1t was thought CUR ball
tosser would be no match for our bald
headed athlete. but ".1Nig" showed
right from the start he was there with
the goods. With body hold he threw
Williams in 4:21; the second was wor
by Williams in four minutes by head
scissors and the third by Enger ir
about the same time by main strength
and heft. Clarence showed grea1
strength all the way through, picking
up his opponent bodily with apparent
ease.
The program ended by all singing
"kmerica"
The receipts of the evening were

LETTER FROM CORPORAL scHILL


pondence with "our boys" across the
water, and is real proud of a letter re-
ceived Tuesday from Corporal Charley
Schill. Charley thought there was
whole lot of water in one spot when
he crossed the ocean and that he will
have lots to tell when he gets back
that can't pass the censor just now.
His letter follows:
Somewhere in France,
Jan. 8, 1918.
Dear Friend:
Received your letter jus.
few days ago and will endeavor to
answer. Our letters will not be of
much account only to let you folks
know that we are over mere and feel
ing fine. Had very enjoyable trip.
Saw lots of water. Did not have an
idea there was so much water in one
place-but it's so.
And tickled guys we were when we
sighted dirt, but more so when we
stepped back onto it again.. We had
a very enjoyable Christmas and New
Years. Did not realize they were
so close, but hope we may be able to
spend the next ones home. Some
were sea-sick for day or SO, but soon
got over the effects. Afterwards we
did not mind it. OF course was
somewhat myself. Had fine weather on
the sea, nice and calm.
We are certainly seeing some coun-
try and are surely taking the benefit
of it. When we return we will be able
to tell enough of it. All we can do
now is, as you say, play the game fair
and all aim to do the best, as we are
the leaders of it today, and glad you
are all for US. We have very nice
quarters now, like it fairly we'll and
anxious to get to it. We have some
snow here and it surely is a swell
country for scenery, just like old man
Quincer's movie show only this is real.
The country is far behind, but then
when they get the ideas from us Sam
mics it will help somewhat. Have
picked up a few words and hope to
have real lingo for you folks on our
return.
Things are very COSTLY Tobacco
real scarce and also getting scarcer as
we keep using it up. Why not send
cigarettes to us poor lonesome smok'
ers in the far away land? Would like
to write more but the censor gets our
letters; and won't do any good but, can
tell so much more on our return.
| So will close hoping to hear from
Won soon again with the news from
the old town as letters are scarce ano
far between. We always look 1oi
them. Goodbye! Good luck!
Your Friend.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT

Grand Forks, Feb. 2.-The year 1917
has been one of the most remarkable
years in history of the live stock in
dustry. Never before has this indus'
occupied such a position of recs'"
Importance the world over. Prodnr-
tion costs have scared to new high
records and with the exception of
horse and mule values which have
slightly declined, the value per head
of all classes of farm stock noticeaI
exceeds all former records.
The plans of the North Dakota far,
mers last spring were to continue the
practice of the last few years of in
creasing the number of live stock on
the farms. especially of cattle and
sheep. The obligation placed on far
mers as result of the present war
needs further stimulated their plar'
for increased meat production.
The 1917 feed crop which followed
>was very disappointing. Due to scare
ity and high priced feed farmers in
large areas in the state were obliged
to curtail their earlier plans. Live
stock marketing has been unusually
heavy. Excepting hogs which have
decreased % per cent from a year ago
shipping receipts indicate that the
statement so commonly heard about
the state of the tremendous decrease
in live stock numbers from last year
is unwarranted with the possible ex-
ception of certain localities chiefly
a.
the state.
The increased shipments of cattle
represent more nearly the entire nat
ural increase for the past year than
inroads into the supply of a year ago.
The January report shows a notice
able decrease in steers of all ages but
this loss is about offset by the gain in
breeding cattle of all ages. Milch
COWS for the state as whole even
show slight increase. Owing to the
attractive price of mutton and the tre-
mendous increase in the price of wool,
the sheep industry is rapidly gainine
favor in the state. Sheep numbers
show slight increase over a year
ago. However the increased number
of horses is due more to the fact that
the market has offered very poor
outlet rather than desire on the part
of the farmers to retain their present
large supply. The demand for horses
for military purposes has been ex-
tremely light and on the other hand
the use of autoes, auto trucks and
tractors is gradually displacing the
usual demand for horses. The most
encouraging feature of this seasons
live stock report is the unusual effort
apparent on the part of the stockmen
and farmers to retain their supply Of
breeding stock wherever possible. In
fact numerous farmers are patriotic
ally undergoing temporary loss nv
buying high priced feed to retain their
foundation herds in order to comply
with the nations call for increased
meat production next season. Cow
sidering the high prices and scarcity
of grain feed it is. a matter Of congrat-
ulation that the decrease in hogs is
no greater than it is. Reports indi-
cate that pork production will greatly
respond following the production of
even fair crop of grain feed ncXt

RETURN
BOUTS At L0T0S
Tiplitz and Wilson; Gardner
and MichaeIs; Brown and
De Rofe, Are Features

After a lay-off of a week the Lotos
Club has arranged a how that will
satisfy the most exacting of fight
fans. In the main exhibition of the
evening our old friends. o TipItz
and frankie Wilson, will clash over
the ei~ght-round course. Both Of these
men have fought in the local ring
and are great favorites with the fans.
These boys fought at Morgan a few
times and in the Lotos ring once,
with Tiplitz winning by a slight shade
in every case. Wilson has been train
ing hard for this return match with
the tough Tiplitz lad and expects to
administer to that fighter the drub-
bling Of his life. The winner of this
Bedell, of Braddock, Pa, at the next
show. Both boys have put up for
feits to appear in he ring at 1s1
pounds and at hat weight ought to
fight real well.
In one of the six-round semi-1nal
bouts Bobby Michaels and Willie
Gardner will occupy the limelight.
Gardner is the boy who knocked out
Jack Dotty's sparring partner at the
Lotos three weeks ago. Michaels has
been fighting in and around Newark
during the last few weeks and is in
especially good condition.
The fans will be treated to a spe-
cial six-round scrap between Johnny
Demish of Carteret and Dummy Sui
Ivan of the island. Demish Is a new
boy in the ring and has been given a
chance by Joe McNulty to see what
he can do. The Carteret boy is pretty
clever with his fists n packs a
heavy punch. The Dummy begged
McNulty for another chance as he
claims he hurt his hand in the bout
last week when he quit.
In the opening exhibition of the
evening Mickey Brown, the clever
little bruiser from New York, will
take on AL DeRose for four rounds.
These lads met before in the local
ring and fought a slashing bout.
Joe Humphreys as usual will sing
out who's who and the reasons there

Yanks Get Shore and Lewis

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-New York fans
need not be surprised IL Pitcher Ernie
Shore and Outfelder Duffy Lewis, the
former world series heroes. are seen
in Yankee uniforms next season.
Manager Higgins Is attempting to put
through a trade In which he will swap
his great young catcher, AL Walters,
and either Hughey High, Elmer Miller
or Frank Gilhooley for the two Boston
stars. A money consideration Is said
to be involved. If Harry Hooper do
cides to ~re-enter baseball Manager
Barrow of the Red Sox, may agree to
the trade.
When Hooper left for California af-
ter the last worlds series he declared
he was through with baseball for
good. Barro wthinks the great out
fielder will change his mind. Without
Hooper In the outield Ed will have to
hank on to Lewis.
Johnny Jones, a shortstop, and
George Halas. out1eIder, signed con-
tracts with Higgins today. 1t is the
opinion here that Comiskey Is pre-
pairing to put the skids under Manager
Clarence Rowland. Pat Moran Ia
considered the most likely candidate
for the berth. Frank Navin Is after
Dutch Leonard, and the chances are
he may procure the great Red Sox
pitcher.
