LOSES

The Little Falls high school basket
ball team added an important victory
to it's list Friday evening, when it de-
feated the Brainerd quint on the local
floor by the very one.sided score of
SO to 8. Fans here had expected close
game but it proved to be anything
but close, the local quint having things
almost their own way. The Brain
erd second team defeated the local
seconds by score of IL to 8. These
quints were more evenly matched.
Stewart Sims and Richard did most
of the backet shooting for the locals,
each. The Brainerd players were una.
half. Wands made two baskets and
Warren Sims and Sprandel got one
each. The Brainerd playeds were una
BILE to net the ball more than three
times, once in the first half and twice
in the last.
The game between the second teams
was quite battle, and although the
Brainerd players were all taller and
heavier than the locals, making pass
ing quite difficult, the local boys
fought hard to the finish and the out
come was in doubt until the last mo.
ment Of play. Eleven local boys were
given a chance on the second team.
They were Metcalf, Larson, Roy and

MOTHER OF 6 AYERS
Mrs. Martha T. Jones Files Suit for
Limited Divorce.

According to- q complaint filed
yesterday in the District Equity
Court, this marriage is a decided
failure. because. after living to-
gether for thirty years. and rearing
family of six children. the wife
has come to the conclusion that.
unlike old wine, her husbands love
has not improved with age. but on
the contrary. has been transferred
to another woman.

pair was married in Philadelphia
thirty years ago. and that six chill
dren were the result OF this union
all of whom. with the exception OF
Beatrice Virginia, aged 12, and Ray
mond G., aged II. are married.
The plaintiff AYERS that though
she had been q helpmate to her
nuSD IN every sense OF Jne WOro
all through their early struggles to-
gether, his affections wened. until
last June he deserted her alto
gether. and went to live in the
same house with the other woman
in the case. where. according to g
letter alleged to have been received
from her husband January % OF
this year, he still is residing.
Mrs. Jones declares in her COM
plant that she has appealed to Mr.
Jones to mend his ways. but with
out effect. An agreement of sep
aration was signed list August by
both parties, wherein il was stipu-
lated she was to receive $50 pei
month from his salary of $50. fol
the support OF herself and two
minor children. For q while hi

WOODEN SHIP
PROGRAM Is
TURNED DOWN
Board Decides to Build
Only Of Steel in the
Future.

mo more wooden ships is the new
policy OF the United States Shipping
Board, according to an official an
nouncement last night. Ih'1e
The wooden ship program Will be
continued only to the extent Of the
present wooden ship engine and ma
chinery program. The effort will be
TO utilize the engines and machinery
already designed and building for
wooden ships and unavailable for steel
or concrete ships. - -
The new policy will be to concen-
trate on these larger steel vessels
that will give to the United States q
merchant narine power after the war.
Following closely on the announce
ment, a few days ago, that the Ship
ping Board had reverted to the origi-
nhlly advocated program of the
boards former regime by its decision
to build ships OF 1900 tons and larger.
instead of the present 3.5O0-ton ones
that constitute more than 25 per cent
Of the shipbuilding program, last
nights statement indicates the board
purposes to build systematically for
after the war as well as for the war
itself.
1t was announced also by the board
that ships had been made available
for the nitrate trade sufficient to
bring to America 45.657 tons of the
chemical for fertilizer and munitions.
Meantime, in anticipation Of the new
supply, II is understood that the farm
ers will get some of the present stores
OF nitrates here for munitions.

CARSOF FLOUR
TURNED OYER
TO OFFICIALS
Four Surplus Loads Given
Up to Food Board by
D. c. Merchants.

-Four carloads Of flour have been
turned over to Clarence r. Wilson,
District food administrator, by
three local business concerns. The
Old Dutch Market turned over two
carloads; s. A. Reeves turned over
one carload. and John G. Weinberg.
one carload. -
This surplus flour. they told the
Dstrict food administration, was ae-
eumulated In excess of their thirty
days normal supply. The flour will
be held in Washington to be dis
tributed as the need arises, and 1t
means that an equivalent amount
will be released for expectation
from the stores of the United States
Food Administrator.
Z In announcing the action Of the
three firms, Mr.. Wilson said that
the saving had been accomplished
by the voluntary cooperation, Of
the people of Washington in follow
ing food regulations. and also by
the merchants of the city following
the fitty-fifty rule. compelling Gus
toners to buy an equal amount of
the substitute flours with the wheat
flour. The four carloads amount
to 1880 pounds.
TT Is hoped that this Is only the
first appreeiable and tangible re-
suit, and that the people OF WASH
ington will be urged to further saw
ing" Mr.. Wilson says. AT all
events il is q complete refutation
Of those who. in ignorance or 9TH
erNEise. have denied the wisdom and
effectiveness of the new rule"
