High School Times.
b. the High SenOOi Editor.

The games played at the High
school gym last Friday evening
proved to be a success in every re.
spect, both financially and as an ex.
hibition Of basketball. The first
game was played by the Juniors and
the freshmen, and the second by the
junior VS.. the freshmen and soph-
more girls. The junior boys won
the game by an overwhelming score
of Abb, and the Junior girls carri-
ed off the honors in their game.
The sophmore and 8th grade boys
played the third game, in which
the sophs outmatched the grade
team and won by large score.
The sophmore team is credited to
be the strongest in high school.
These games wound up the series
of inter-class games and a high
schoo! team will be picked for
games with other high school teams.
The first is scheduled for December
IL, but the opposing team has not
been decided upon.

Wrong IMPRESSION Says States
Attorney, Thomas Mani.

People Of Milbank have the wrong
impression if they think that the
investigation which was held last
week amounts to q charge agains,
the merchants. s. said Mr.. Mani
yesterday morning.
1t is nothing more than an in.
qulry as to whether or not the com.
plants which | have received are
true and just.
II have been instructed by the
attorney general and by the Federal
authorities to cooperate with them
in the state wide campaign against
the H. c. L., and | am going to do
1t. not only because it is my orders
but also because it is my duty.
am going to push it to the limit,
and every merchant in the city will
DO we'll to look to his prices.
AS to the investigation or the
result CT it, it is secret and can
not say anything of it, beyond the
fact that am going to make re-
port to the e. S. district attorney
for further action. While no ac-
ton may come, it is highly prob
able that at least one case will be
carried out. for the evidence ]
gathered in at the Investigation
LOOKS very bad
The news tf the investigation of
four Of the Miloank merchants was
Immediately followed by the re-
port that they We're charged with
protiteer'ng or an attempt to form
a combine for the restriction of
trade. Every Mi!bank citizen
would be glad to see the prices Of
the necessities Of life fall to a low
er level and demands the prosecu-
tlons OF merchants who attempts to
violate the law. But in fairness to
the merchants and the citizens Of
Milbank. should the investigation
fail to cause action upon the part
of the Federal authorities in whose
hands the matter is now placed
Attorney Man's statement that
the investigation is not charge
should be remembered and the sus-
plcion which is due to hang over
the business houses be cleared away.

Road Program Outlined.
County Auditor gives Statistics Of
Plans for Building Of Roads for
Season Of 1920.

With the road building program
which is laid out by the State and
Federal government highway AS
sociation, Grant county will get
wonderful start for system of
good roads throughout the county.
Approximately S239. 2O6.45 has
been appropriated by the county
and state, of which amount the
county has made levy Of S83,97O.
The state levy for the county is
i mill. said by the state auditor
to be Sl55, 236 As. Of this amount,
about 100000 will be available
for this coming season and used
for building the 90 miles of state
trunk highway system in the
county. Both the Yellowstone trail
and the King of Trails has been des-
ignated by the state as part of the
trunk system in the county and thus
received this state and Federal aid.
The county must have a project
laid out for road building, which is
approved by the government. The
roads are then surveyed, charts and
blue prints made Of them and all
preliminaries taken care Of by the
state engineer who is also on the
scene while the work is in progress
and has full charge of the road
building, surveying and checking Of
all the grades and fills.
The highway commission has
granted the county commissIo one, $
petition that the Yellowstone trail
between Milbank and Big Stone be
graveled and the work was started
this past fall 1t will be resumed
and completed as soon as possible
in the spring. The road is being
graded. high and wide with dirt
shoulder to hold and bind the
crown of gravel. Work will also
be started on the trail from the
west end, and be completed twelve
miles from the line towards Mil
bank. This will make good
stretch Of road from the line to 2
miles this side Of Marvin, and will
leave the part of the trail between
here and Marvin, distance possibly
Is miles, to be worked the coming
year.
Work on the King Of Trails will
be started from the south line and
be carried a distance of 6 miles this
year. The county has petitioned
for distance of twelve miles and
it is under consideration by the
state commission.
Six miles of good road from the
south line will mean one mile east
of Labolt on the road to Milbank.
and distance of Is miles which
will be worked upon the year of
1921. The Yellowstone trail and
King of Trails combine here and go
east thru Big Stone and Ortonville
where they seperate,, the former 60
ing east to Minneapolis and the
latter north to Fargo, N. D.
A large amount of the sum ap-
propriated by the county will be
used in building bridges and the
state and federal funds used for the
road building. The appropriation
for the good roads projects for 1921
will probably be considerably larger
so that the two roads may be COM
pleted thru the county.

Reception to New Pastor.

The people Of the Congregational
church last Friday evening at the
church rendered their pastor re-
ception at which he could meet
and get acquainted with the people
of Milbank. and large turn. out OF
,ciizens were present to welcome
the new pastor. Rev. Carl P. Bast,
late Of Clark. A program of music
and short talks helped to make the
occasion an interesting one. Mayor
Fuller, as a member of the church
formally introduced the new pas
tor to the congregation and apollo
gized for the fact that all the law
yers in the town were Congrega-
tionaiists, while in the town from
which the new pastor came the most
Of them were Methodists, but the
Methodists weren't really to blame
for that as they were brought up
to believe that while the lamp
holds out to burn the viIest sim
ners may return and it wouldn' t
do to make an exception of even
the lawyers. On behalf of the
church and the citizens generally
the mayor welcomed the new pastor
and pledged him support in every
good work.
Rev. Bast in response thanked the
mayor for his words of welcome and
stated that he had already com.
menced to like Mibank. and from
the many pleasant people he had
met during the short time he had
been here, he felt confident that he
would continue to like it as he be-
came more intimately acquainted
with our citizens.
Rev. Menges. representing the
Evangelical church. said he was
glad to see the spirit Of cooper
alton among the churches Of the
city. and thought that there was a
good field for united work in i'm
proving the moral and religious
condition Of the community.
Rev. Calfee Of the Method ;st
church on behalf Of his people also
extended a hearty welcome to the
new pastor and his wife and also a
big happy welcome greeting to Miss
Bast, the junior member of the
firm, who has not yet celebrated
her first birthday. Hin se child
OF the parsonage his heart went out
in congratulations to the young
lady who was here to preside in the
Bast parsonage. Like Rev. Menges
he was rel DICED to see the spirit of
good fellowship between the
churches and looked forward to a
year of good work in which all
could unite for Improvement in
our own lives and in the commun-
ity life.
A number fine instrumental p;ec-
es were rendered. Mrs. r. 7. Jones
sang two pleasing numbers, and a
mems quartette. with Messrs. Held
ner, Liggett, Bowe and DR.. Hen
bricks, also added to the enjoyment
of the occasion.

culosis among returned soldiers ia

county. If they sell 100000 seals
they get the nurse for four months.

The Minneapolis Tribune in an
editorial calls attention to the fact
that the increase in savings bank

four months of July, August, Sep
tember and October was seven
times as large as the increase dur
ing the same period in 1918, an
increase of 3,O27, ,4S5. The Tri-
bune says:
If there had been no other bene-
fit to this community than this saw
ing of money prohibition would
have justified itself as a wise and
sound public policy. There have
been, of course, many other good
effects # four months of 'dryness.
One of these effects is shown in
records and conditions at the Min
neapolis workhouse. This insti-
tuition has been a dependable bar
ometer for years of the mischief
that flowed from the wide-open
saloon 1t is far from being now
what it was. It cannot be said
that there has been any stinting
of themselve by those who patronize
the saving institutions. Money has
been spent literally for necessities
and luxuries in the last four
months, and yet bank accounts have
grown steadily. 1t surely would
not serve any good purpose in this
community to have a period Of wet
