BASKET BALL
TWO GAMES PLAYED LAST NIGHT
MUCH NOISE AND GAME
WAS FAST.

The high school rather did it to the
Normal basketball teams in a double
header game at the high school audi
forum last night. The games were
snappy, but lack of team work is
debited with the defeat of the teams
from the state institution.
The first game, between girls
teams, started out in good shape, with
no advantage except that the ball was
kept pretty much in high school ter
ritory. The high school got the first
ball, and the Normal finally tied the
score, but the high school came back
with another score The half ended
with a score of 4 to 2 in favor of the
high school. The second half was
f~eatureless except for some snappy
playing. The game stood at 5 to 10
in favor of the Normal. Garges ref
cree.
Garges refereed the first half of
the boys game, and Wagner the Sec
ond half. The game is described as
a fast one, again the lack of team
work throwing the game against the
state institution. The first half end
ed with a score in favor of the high
school of 16 to IL. The result of
both halves were in favor of the
high school to the extent of 80 to 10.

for this success, always having tried

make those who visit the basement

treated right, and that they are in a
reputable place, where profanity or
uncleanness either of person or Ian

the year logically ends with Deem

QUARTERLY SESSION
BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLES RAIL
LY AT GERMAN CHURCH
LAST EVENING.

The b. Y. p. U. of the German
Baptist church met last evening for
its quarterly business session. After
several items of business had been
transacted the young people gathered
in the basement of the Baraca
class and were grouped at six or eight
tables. An interesting program con
sisting of guessing the number of ker-
nels of corr on an ear of corn, the
number of beans in a jar, identifying
a number of shadowgraphs and pho
tos of the youth of yesterday, eating
popcorn on a string withiut touching
it with the hands and other games
were greatly enjoyed. After refresh
ments had been served to about lao
they reassembled in the auditorium
for a farewell to the soldier boys who
left on the 4:30 train this afternoon
The Baraca class of which the boys
are members, presented them with q
beautiful New Testament on Sunday
Herman Kruger, a Spanish war vet
eran, made a short address. The
pastor, Rev. Willibald S. Argow, fol
lowed with a short talk and CLOSING
prayer. The evening will be long re
membered by all participating. God
speed to the boys and all others who
are being summoned to the camps.

war BREAD
IMPROVEMENT is NOTED IN THE
BAKERS PRODUCTION.

Experiments toward the end that
war bread be made both palatable
and nutritious are gradually ap-
preaching a perfection, said Mr.. Run
chey of the local bakery this MORN
ing. With the mixtures of various
substitutes, learning their proportions
and treatments, a bread is gradually
evolved which is really a good bread.
Mr.. Runchey treated several OF the
skeptical bystanders to generous
tastes OF the stock bread, and they.
too, thought it good. OF course the
bread has not the taste or appear
ance of white bread, but is more OF
the order of rye, only a trifle more
yellow. There are all kinds Of flour
in it, l guess-rye. barley, oatmeal,
corn flour, and some wheat flour.
But the taste and nourishing quail
ties of the article are beyond criti-
cism, being neither too sweet for con-
slant use, nor of other outlandish or
weird tastes. Even with the restric-
lions on white flour the people can
learn in time both to like the bread
they make, and to make a bread that
they like.

BACK To The SOIL
MARRIED MEN GOING OUT TO
WORK-SEE MORE OPPOR-
TUNITY THERE.

William Rowland, manager of the
local labor exchange, said this morn
ing that he had several applications
for farm l%aborers, and one or two APP
plications for work. Several married
men who have been working in town
havecometo the conclusion that there
is as much profit and real living in it
for them to take their families out
and work on a farm as it is for them
to work by the day. Many are doing
this, in view of the wage now paid
for farm labor.
The advantages many of them o n
slider are those of milk, eggs, poultry,
garden produce and a wage of SOS a
month. In many instances the fami-
ly may occupy a tenant house on the
premises, and the woman will have
very little more work than she would
have in a town home, with all the
other advantages r%ecounted above. it
is said. In other cases, where the
family must occupy the farm home
the extra work is provided for, and
remuneration is made for the board
of extra help. There are few or no
single men available now for farm
work, and the improved conditions
for farm help of the last few years
together with the larger wage paid
are making this kind of employment
attractive to men with families, oul
informant says.

governor SPEAKS
RECOUNTS PAST PERFORMANCES
AND THE HOPES OF FUTURE
POLITICAL SUCCESSES.

A long list of the things the legis-
latures of this state, as compared
with the benighted conditions obtain
ing in u sister state of the north
are being told by Governor Peter
Norbeck at the Lyric theater to a
good audience this afternoon. He is
confirming himself to accomplish
ments to the benefit of the farmer of
the state, but providing that all this
success is also contributory to that of
the town people. There is nothing of
national politics apparent in the ad-
dress.
Out on his campaign for renomina-
ton for Republican election, Govern
or Norbeck was driven over from
Wentworth late this afternoon after
delivering an address in that city.
The speech was scheduled for 2
o'clock, but it was more than an hour
later when he made his initial bow.
He recounted a long list of consti-
t~utional amendments which he hoped
to see the people adopt at the next
election. Many of them had been
submitted before, and from one cause
or another had not been ratified.
Among them are the state provision
of water power-to furnish electrici.
ty at one cent or less-state hail in.
surance, state cement factory, sale
of state lands on easier terms, and
revision of the tax laws. He regards
all these as almost necessary.
He compared the laws of this state
with those of North Dakota, and
showed where all the boosted advan,
tageous ones had been passed in this
state while yet the other state was
yet a bowling wilderness, compare,
lively.
Reading from a Manuscript in order
that he might not be misunderstood
nor m~isquoted, he asserted that nc
political organization would be de,
MED the right of assembly and free
speech-not while he is governor, il
he is notified of it in advance. Tt
protect threatened interference, OF
request of farmers who control these
meetings, he declared that the state
sheriff or his deputies would be SEN
to see that no untoward violence o
interference was offered. His en-
dorsement of the Nonpartisan League
was not positive, though he stated
that it might be a good thing. HI
used some humor in some of his ref
ences to it, tending toward sarcasm
Following the speech here the gov
ernor will go to Nunda, where h
will make an address tonight.

CITY Commission
THEY AGAIN GROAN UNDER THE
WEIGHT OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS
AUTO PARKING.

Mayor Robertson and Commission
er T. A. Johnson met again last night
as the city commission, without the
third member of the body. They were
constrained to consider the matter
Of passing an ordinance for the park
ing of automobiles in the center of
the street. There were reports to the
effect that there was opposition to
that method of parking. and mention
was made of the length of fish poles
extending from the e of many
cars in summer. Two matters were
hastily decided in about an hour. One
was that fish poles were going TO be
shorter this year, and that the city
attorney, c. j. Porter, draw up an Or
dinance that will be compelling, and
making the center of the street the
parking place.
There are several cases within the
city where the water service pipes
have frozen either just at the edge of
the new paving or beneath the paving
itself, and that the pipes have burst.
The question of upon whom the ex-
pense of digging down to the plug for
shutting off the water and the other
the service was a party line, called by
the commission last night a private
line, the work of digging down to the
junction with the main was consid-
cred by the city attorney as accruing
against the property owners. Phil
Sheridan was another complainant in
a matter similar, except that the
| freezing occurred under the edge of
the paving. No decision was made
upon the matter, though the commits
sioners' whole intellectual force for a
tiresome length of time was devoted
wholly to this question.
There is $1,000 in the savings
fund, according to the treasurer's
monthly report read last night. The
paving fund is overdrawn, according
to that report, and the commissioners
wondered how that could be possible,
when the payments for the paving
should be made from the money col
lected only. The matter was not con-
| sidered to be vital, however, nor OF
such gravity as to make 1t necessary
to shoot the treasurer, and they ac-
cepted the report.
The water meters are being rapidly
installed, said Ed Rafferty,, of that
department. And, while the users
were not exactly overjoyed at going
to the extra expense. they seemed
willing to comply with the city's more
or less insistent request. A question
arose Of whether there was really a
city ordinance ordering the meters
into old and already established
places. After some discussion the
color Of this faded, and soon the

whole attention was turned to some
thing else.
Engineer Trimmer submitted plans
for the stub of sanitary sewer to be
put in on Center street this spring. /
They looked at them wisely for a
while, and ordered the auditor to
submit the proposition for bids.
The city will buy some large wood
poles, and contemplates buying a part
car, If possible, with the Dakota Cen
trial Telephone company.
1t took another long time to fail to
decide on where to keep a barrel of
gasoline for use in the street flusher
not so long of where to buy 1t.
The bills had been checked v
and the stamp of approval or disap-
prevail had been placed upon each
one. They were given the attention
of passage late in the evening. There
was a mess of them.
In these times of food conservation
there is a disposition to allow
a greater latitude in keeping animals
within the prescribed areas of city
limits. There are many who want to
keep hogs. They want to use up their
garbage, and help out with the prob
lem" The commissioners say that
this scheme is all right, but that
those "hawgs must be sanitary"
1t was arranged that another meet
ing of the commissioners should take
place today to discuss some mysteri-
Gus question. 1t is to be supposed
that in due time after the passage of
the motion to adjourn, that they real
ly did adjourn. But there were ques-
tons which seemed to make them
pewerless to nov from their posi-
tions long after the city auditor had
gone to his higher and higher taxed
home. Verify, it was a moved meet
ing. The fire truck received but pass
ing notice. The dog tax was not
mentioned. The city assessor bust
ness has been sunk fathoms deep in
failing memory. The only matter
which has been agitating their minds,
and which was given attention last
night, was that of affixing house
numbers, which is said to be pro
crossing finely.
