the districts into which the country
has been divided for purposes of en-
forcement of the law.
| With the coming into force Of the

BOYS AND GRLSFACT0R
OF RED LAKE AGENCY

Superintendent Cross, Of the Chip
pewa Red Lake agency said recently
in one of his talks to the school:
THE most important thing we have
at the Red Lake agency is the boys
and girls, that the most important
activities on the reservation are the
schools, that the training of boys anu
girls is of vastly more Importance
than the raising of fine stock, and
that the way to get the most out Of
life is to find out what one is best
fitted to do and then to try to be
contented and do that thing we'll. y
He also pointed out that great
ideal of the unrest and discomfort
s1nent in life is caused by too many
people wanting to do the other fel-
lows job, too many people wanting
to do the thing for which they have
no talent or ability.

DUNDEE BOXES LEONARD
TONIGHT: TITLE BOUT
(By United Press

New Haven, Conn., Jan. 16.-The
lightweight championship crown OF
the world was to be the stake at
tonight's battle here.
Benny Leonard, present holder Of
the title, and Johnny Dundee, chief
ontender for the honors, were to
mix it in a 20 round bout which ring
followers declare will be gruelling
fight from start to finish.
With general opinion favoring
Leonard to win many are watching
Dundee with more than usual inter-
est as the fight will be the first one
over the long route the challenger
has had~with the Bronx boy. And he
has often claimed that the short
round limit seriously handicapped
him in his previous engagements
with the champ. He confidently ex-
poets to waltz home the victor if he
is able to stand up under the first
half of the bout.
There are many who feel that
Benny must give the Scotch Wop a
finishing blow in the first half or pay
the penalty by putting his. crown
seriously in jeopardy.
Others point to Leonard's latest
line of battle in which he has been
ushering out the fun with knock
out in the earl stanZas such as on two
recent ocasions in the second round.
They are of the opinion that Benny
has foregone the old trick Of merely
protecting himself and letting his
opponent last the full fight.
This occasion marks the second
time the champion has risked his
title since he copped it from Freddie
Welsh in the spring of 1917.

NORTH DAKOTA CROPS =.
rs
NOT SOLD ECONOMICALLY

Fargo, N. D., Jan. 16.-That the
present method of marketing North
Dakota's agricultural products is un-
economic was the contention of Pres.
E. F. Ladd in an address before the
North Dakota Agricultural college
extension workers here recently. DR..
Ladd said:
ITO ship wheat out of the state
means we are selling the raw product
and allowing others to reap the har-
vest from converting it into the fin
ished product. North Dakota in the
past has poured its natural wealth
lavishly into the lap Of Minnesota
and other states"
In brief, DR.. Ladd advocated man
ufacturing and marketing of state
grown products within the state.

ton Referees Game

Both tear1s fighting for supremacy
every second, the clash between the
~Cass Lake city team and the local
dictionaries, staged at the Armory last
evening, was a battle from beginning
to end, Cass Lake winning, Il to IL.
The return game to be played at Cass
Lake tonight will undoubtedly be just
AS much battle.
The first half started with Cass
Lake soon in the lead by a narrow
margin, when a fistic encounter oc-
cured and each team lost a good
:player. For the remainder Of the half
the score remained nearly even,
neither side showing any great gain
over the other. At the end OF the
-: first half the score stood II to 10 IN
favor of the locals and it was with
great impatience that the crowd watt
ed for the start of the secnod.
Another Occurs.
In the second half, Bemidji met
with several instances of hard luck
in: scoring and lost the half by four
points, likewise losing the game by
three points. Another fistic encoun-
4er was staged in this half and caused
the fine of a double foul.
The entire game included large
number Of personal fouls, the ma
-jority by far being judged against
the visitors. The locals secured six
points on free throws. The contest
was we'll played by both teams and
outside Of few instances showed
remarkably even teamwork.
