Dealers and Farmers Heavy Losers

Dealers and Farmers Heavy Losers.
A letter received by Ira G. Stanley
from the marketing department of the
State Public Safety commission is to
the effect that everything possible is
being done to expedite the securing Of
cars for the handling of potatoes here.
II cars are not speedily forthcoming
dealers as well as farmers are bound
to sustain heavy losses. With proper
shipping facilities potatoes would
bring from 20 to 80 cents more per
bushel at this point at the present
time.

Treat Ministers Fairly.

Reading Rev. DR.. Peatfeld's an
nouncement of his resigning his pas
torate of the Congregational church to
accept a call to larger church, in
Minneapolis, it occurs to us that min
listers Of the gospel in the rural dis
tricts of the state are grossly under
paid for their services. Yet it is
probably true that in most instances
the congregations pay all they can
afford to. But it does seem to us that
.noinisters are often called upon to per-
,orm services gratuitously for which
they should be recompensed. For in
stance, why should minister be ex-
pected to go out in the country, some,

Princeton and Mora Highs Clash, tIlss..
Home Team Winning in

A rafting good game Of basketbaiM
was played at the armory on Friday
night between the champion Excelsior
team and the Princeton Home Guard
1t was contest which demonstrated;
skillful manipulation Of the sphere om
both sides, but the Excelsiorites provedss
too fast for the Princetonians, who's.
were defeated in a final score Of 2G, to-
20.
In the first half the visitors were
so exceedingly swift that Princete4a
was almost unable to keep tally Of thes:
points, although couple of good shcts@:
were made by the home warriors, nn
which Umbehocker was the star artist,
as he also was in the second half: Ex--
celsior, II; Princeton, 4.
The second half started with a: ruslrs
the Princeton players, gathering ex-
perience from watching the Excelsior
ties tactics, accumulated more mo-
mentum and smashed into the game
right and left. The visitors doubtless
imagined that the guards had merely
been fooling them in the first half

heavy and, the Excelsiorites, taken by
surprise, weakened before the heavy
drive, which resulted in a score Of 16

This, however, did not give the honse'
boys sufficient points to win and the
visitorsscarried off the palm in a nlaE
score of .26 to 20, as above stated.

Why not select a practical Mile Lacs

not make him county agent? It's not
a theorist but a practical man that

all were assembled back of the flag
they gave, with hearty zest, the oath

This, with the appropriate singing

finale for an excellent entertainment,
which, given as it was with such a
spirit Of loyalty, inspires us adults to
more earnestness in our endeavors to
help win the war.
Such an entertainment stands for
far more than the mere pleasure it
affords the audience or participants, or
for it's capacity for money raising, or
even for it's apparent educational ad-
vantages, for it helps to build up the
right material in our little future citi-

The pupils attending the Whittier
building make up the first and second
grades of our public schools. To the
teachers-the Misses Whiting, Klatt,
Peterson and Eaton-is due more
praise than can here be expressed.
The very substantial sum of $47.6O
was netted for the Red Cross.

SLIGHTED WITH
ITS ANTHRACITE
..G .
State Receives Smaller Portion
of Quota Than Any Other '
In Northwest

North Dakota has received a small
Ter proportion OF its 1918 allotment
of anthracite coal than any other
northwestern state, and District Re-
preventative w. H. Groverman, at
the instance OF Federal Fuel Admin
istrator Baker, has instructed the
principal dock companies handling
coal, that they must make shipments
In proportion and to bring North
Dakota's tonnage up tofthe proper
quota.
W to October IS, North Dakota
had received :, hut 1894 tons of an
thracite, or only 41.65 per cent Of its
winter supply of 224,000 tons. South
Dakota had received lat tons, or
1882 per cent Of its years allotment
of 1S5. .92O tons, while Wisconsin, with
an allotment Of 1,146,SSO tons had
received 831 ,045. or $500 per cent Of
its quota, and Minnesota had received
604. 4.189 tons, or 54.49 per cent OF Its
1,19S.SOn ton allotment.
OF all the anthracite shipped from
the head Of the lakes, Wisconsin has
received 44.75 per cent; Minnesota,
42.84 per cent: North Dakota, 6.6l
per cent and South Dakota, 5.T per
cent. No reason has been given Tor
this apparent discrimination against
the two Dakotas, hut orders have
gone forth that steps be taken I'm
mediately to equalize anthracite al
