BASKETBALL TEAM
AGAIN VICTORIOUS
Win Another Game on the
Home Floor Last Friday
Evening

Ball team defeated Adair on the
home floor last Friday evening. We
were sorry to disappoint the local
supporters by not having a girls
.am from out of town but all our
reedingly earnest efforts were in
in. The disappointment was rath
~ softened when the spectators
were treated to the scenes of real
lively contest between the north
side and south side boys of twelve
years or under.
The boys from the north side Of
main street played the boys from
the south side here last Friday
night between halves OF the Adair
game.
1t was very exciting contest as
all the boys are inexperienced and
worked very hard for the victory
for their side The game finally re-
suited in favor of the north side a.

Freddie Nelson starred for the
north side, making all four points.
frankie Wells and Earl Fredericks
played the best game for the south
side and succeeded in breaking up
many of the plays.
The lineup:
North Side South Side
F. Nelson F. Van Kline
Ben Hensley F. frankie Wells
Evald Jensen G. Earl Fredericks
@. Rasmussen 6. Matt. Bintner
Frank Herrick G. Roy Powers
Substitutions: John Hensley for
Ben Hensley. Hicks for Hensley.
Field throws: Nielsen 2.
The Adair game opened with
some "real pep" on the part of
our opponents who were large and
fast enough to keep our boys going
pretty lively. But then i'll luck at
basket shooting and our boys ex-
tremely accurate caging Of the bas-
kets soon gave the locals decided
lead with a score Of 6 to l6, at the
end of the first half.
At the opening OF the second
half a slight change was made in
the lineup. John Bintner was put
in at center and VIM. Laursen
shifted to forward. Bintner soon
got into his old time motion and
outplayed his opponent at every
turn of the game, ,Gault starred as

field goals and one free throw, nine.

freak play OF rolling the ball up his
back, over his shoulder and into
the basket. VIM. Laursen was

field goals, or l6 points. Henry

gerous guard, scoring three field
baskets and one free throw. The
second half resulted in score of

PRICES ADVANCE
ARGENTINE CORN
Cause Attributed To Fact News Leak
ed Out Germany Had Contracted
For Million Tons.
Associated Press

BUENOS, June 30-Recent sharp
advances in the price of Argentine
corn are attributed to the fact that
news leaked out that the League of
Agriculturists of Germany had con-
tracted with a Dutch firm for the
purchase in Argentine of 100000
tons Of the cereal. The contract is
said to be guaranteed by the German
government and is to be paid for
month by month as the corn arrives
out of the proceeds of the German
monopoly of potash and
caustic soda. The corn is to be used
chiefly for raising pigs in order to
remedy the dearth of fatty foodstuffs
in Germany.
Since the beginning of the year the
price of corn has risen to the equiv
alent of Slip per bushel. A million
tons at this price would amount to
about $44,O00,000. Hardly more than
a year ago corn was being burned in !
Argentine for fuel.

ACUTE SHORTAGE
TRAINED NURSES
Experienced In Many Hospitals Thro-
ughout The Country Will Com
pell Curtailment of Operations.

BUFFALO, June 30-Unless some
remedy is found for the acute short
age of nurses, many hospitals of the
country will be compelled to curtail
their operations, asserts Mrs. Annie
L. Hansen, superintendent of the Buff
falo District Nursing Association, in
her annual report. A recent cam
paign to induce more young women
to take up the profession of nursing
was failure, Mrs. Hansen said, and
as result one Buffalo institution
was compelled to close one of its de-
partments.
Hospital training schools Of the
United States have reached a high
state of efficiency and new hospitals
and new systems for nursing the sick
in their homes are arising every
where" Mrs. Hansen said, ''but the
necessary pupils fail to appear. The
country needs another Florence
Nightingale"

FIRST AMERICAN

AND IT'S EXISTENCE BY THAT
NAME TERMINATED iMsTHE

LEGION"

CAMP PIKE, Ark, June 30-The
first american Legion" was founded
IN 1892, and its existence, by that
name, terminated in 1896. War De-
partment records show that when the
Regular army was reorganized in
1892, following the Revolutionary
War, it was first officially designated
the Legion" and was divided into
four "sublegions,' of which the 4th
United States Infantry was a part.
The idea of designating the United
States Army as the legion originated
with General Knox, secretary of war
under George Washington. The army
was patterned after the Roman legion,
the old military organization under
which Julius Caesar and his success
ors conquered as much of the world
as was then known,
The American Legion" was COM
manded by General Anthony Wayne
("Mad Anthony'') and was organized
under his direction at Pittsburg, Pa,
in May, 1892. President Washington
General Wayne "do not
spare powder and lead, so that the
men be made marksmen." The Le-
zion fought its only battle as a le-
tion at Miami Rapids in the Kentucky
)hio-Indiana country August 20, 1794,
a force of hostile Indians.
n 1896, it having been decided that !.
he Roman formation was not suit
Bile for fighting Indians, the Legion
-as disbanded an dreorganized into
our regiments of infantry.

cations of robber bands along trade
routes in Szechuen province become
so flagrant and widespread that ur.
gent appeals for the use of troons
to combat the menace have been sent
to the Chinese provincial authorities
by foreign firms operating in Szecb-
uen. The bands of robbers are said
10 be made up to large extent of
groups of deserters from troops that
have been stationed in Szechuen, The
outlaws have become so bold that
mail consignments, hitherto immune
from them, have been seized
One recent report that was brought
to Chengtu was of the robbery of a
pack train on the "big road" which
is the main highway between Chung
king and Chengtu. In this 40 bags
of mail were opened and rifled by the
outlaws and 'the whole hillside was
covered with stolen mail"
In another case a caravan had been
held up and robbed by band of band |
its when second stronger band of
brgands appeared and compelled the
return of the stolen goods. The lead
er of the smaller band was then shot.
The chieftian who did this declared
that he had guaranteed the safe pas
sage of this particular caravan, hav-
ing received a substantial considera-
tion.
The activities are felt as much by
.he individual as by the large com
mercial interests in the opinion of one
