LOCAL LEGION MEETS

Contests Scheduled for Mon
day, Tuesday and Wed

Three more basketball games have
been arranged for the local Amert-
can Legion team to be staged in this
city on Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday of next week when the strong
aggregation from the State Forestry
Normal school at Bottineau, N. D.,
travels/here. =,
The ban has been lifted from the
Armory, it is reported, and the public
will again have an opportunity to see
some good basketball playing. The
visiting team has not been; defeated
so far this year but the local boys are
hoping to spoil it's reputation by cop
ping of at least two Of the games.
From here the same team goes to
Cass Lake for two games.
Not many games are left for this
season. It is probable that the AS
tensions tof Minneapolis and the
Anoka quint will be brought here for
a series but those two battles will be
about the extent of the playing left
for this season, and it is hoped that
the local team will be given hearty
support for the remaining games.
The Ralph Oracle post aggregation
has been putting in good hard prac-'
tive every night in preparation for
these gamesia and is in splendid form.
So far this season the team has just
about broke even financially but with
the right support for the remaining
games, it should be able to have
little change in it's golfers. Three
fast games are promised for next
week and every loyal basketball fan
is urged to back the team to the
limit. r5|r'

mill for each 500 of property valua-
ton, required by the constitution for
the maintenance of roads and
bridges. ~
The auditor assigns the following
reasons for the surplus which makes
1t unnecessary to levy an advalorem
tax this year. Collection Of large
sums as delinquent income and in
heritance tax, collections by various
state departments in excess Of their
estimated income and the lapsing of
appropriations.
Every rear since 1907. when Okla
homa became a state, an ad valorem
tax ranging from one and a half mills
to the maximum of three and a half
mills has been levied. state records
show. Last year the levy was three
and a half mills.

ing The fiscal year ending June 80
