Omitted Press Correspondent
| Washington, Jan. 31.-Formal
notice was given in the senate today.
that on Tuesday. February 10, Sena-
tor Hitchcock will move to take up
the Versailles treaty in open session.
This action was announced today
by Senator Walsh of Montana, toll
lowing the collapse of the bi-parti-
san conferences efforts at the treaty
compromise yesterday.
Hitchcock will move on February
10 that "the senate will now proceed
with consideration Of the treaty with
Germany"
motion trail OF events which must
result in decision of several ques-
tions before that date. They include:
Will the democrats support Hitch
cock practically as unit when he
makes his motion, or will they desert
his leadership in. sufficient numbers
to prevent resumption OF the treaty
debate.
WIN the mild republican reserva-
tionists combine with the democrats
in sufficient numbers to make Hitch
cocks motion successful.
How Will the irrecOncilable repub-
licans vote. Will Senator Lodge
maintain his opposition to calling up
the treaty or will he surrender on
this point in the face Of the coun-
try's demand for immediate ratitlca-
tiOn.
Answers to some OF these questions
depend on conferences to be held be-
tween now and February 10.
AS things now stand Senator
Hitchcock believes, he said that

motion. S0me, however, privately
expressed themselves as strongly op-
posed to it. II Hitchcock gets 43
democratic votes he must have six
republican votes to get a majority OF
the senate.
If Lodge and his followers stand
pat, Hitchcock must look to the re-
publican reservationists or irrecon-
cilables. Senators McNary, McCum-
ber and Colt, mild reservasionists,
favor this movement and that makes
three votes.
Senators Kellogg and Lenroot.
counted with this group, are believed
to be against it.
McNary predicted today that the
republicans would furnish all votes
necessary to put the Hitchcock mo-
tiOn over.

utes," was the subject chosen by MIR.
Harnwell. He said: AA
1T matters not whether one be a
millionaire or student, each has
the same amount of time, sixty min
utes for every hour, twenty-four
hours for every day and every minute
of that time is precious.
"A student entering the business
world should not mistake activity for
productivity. The person who does
his work most quickly is not always
the one who is most efficient. He
likened the desk Of the workman's
bench. systematic your desk. Have
place for everything and everything
in it's place. There are but four
things that are essential to a well
arranged desk. Unfinished business,
work which has been considered but
not completed, papers which have

ing, and the working tools"
"Mr. Harnwell punctuated his re-
marks with many valuable dont's.
Don't jump into your work as you
would go into the dark, but under
stand what is to be done before
starting; don't use the telephone for
social talks; don't entertain your
friends at the office; don't do fancy
work; don't lose time between jobs,
for time is capital. ihe first half
hour in the morning should be the
one in which more is accomplished
than at any other. allotted period of
the day.
His closing remarks were: "Sys-
tematize your work = put in your time
to the full and you will succeed.
There are less employers who want
to take all and give nothing, than
there are employees who give all and
take nothing"

LARGE ATTENDANCE OF
THOSE INTERESTED AT
FLOOD CONTROL HEARING
Seven Counties, Including Bel
trami, Are Affected by
River Overflows

Several hundred, interested in the
drainage and food relief hearing,
held at Thief River Falls on Thurs
day, were practically unanimous in
their opinion that a flood control dis
trict be organized of the waters trib-
utary to Red Lake and to the Red
Lake river. This district comprises
large areas in seven counties, Polk,
Marshall, Pennington, Red Lake,
Clearwater, Koochiching and BEL
trami.
One of the main objects of the
establishment of such q district is
to put in dam at the mouth of Red
Lake river to control the waters of
Red Lake and to lower the normal
height of the water in. that lake by
about three feet. This project would
reclaim many thousands of acres in
Beltrami county along the Tamarack
river which is at present frequently
flooded.
Another object of the creation of
the district is to afford legal means
to provide adequate outlet so that
large areas in western Beltrami coun-
ty, Pennington, Marshall and Red
Lake counties can be properly drained
without damage to other land.
1t is expected that great bene-
fetal result of the project will be to
create several good water powers on
Red Lake river.
Judges Grindeland and Stanton
will soon file an order establishing
the flood control district and will ap-
point board Of five directors to
have the management of the district.

ing our highways"

material 1Or DullQlng ana maintain
ing our highways"
Paving the 247 miles of road
scheduled for hard surfacing this
year, he estimated, will require 35,-
900 carloads Of material, while work
to be done by larger cities and towns,
and graveling of thousands of miles
Of other roads will bring the de-
mands for crushed rock, sand and
gravel up to hundreds of thousands
Of tons. The state highway engin-
eers have figured that to pave one
mile Of road requires 2,70O tons of
crushed rock, or coarse gravel, GAO
tons of cement and nearly 1,500 tons
of sand. The demand for crushed
rock or washed gravel alone will
amount to 10000 carloads this sum-
mer, Mr.. Babcock believes.
Car Shortage NAV Hinder Work.
Lack of transportation, which was
one of the most serious problems con-
fronting the states road builders last
year, is likely to be the principal diff
ficulty again this season, according
to the highway engineers They are
confident that if the railroads can
furnish cars to handle a constant
stream Of material, they can COM
plete the states biggest road project
this year. The material must be
hauled from gravel beds wherever
available, and from rock crushing
plants scattered through the state.
New plants are being built at New
Ulm, Jasper, Pipestone, Ortonville,
Faribault and Granite Falls, while
plans have been made TO rthe erec-
tion of others at St. Cloud, Sartell,
and other advantageous points. ne
established plants, from which crush
ed rock was furnished for last years

The first half ended IA to 8, in
Bemidji's favor. When the Trainers
started off the second half with a
rush and scored six points before
the home men had registered, Be-

prehension, yet they never lost heart
and continually cheered their men
until final victory sent them into
paroxysms of JOY.

Stapleton made the first two
baskets of the game in the first five
minutes of play on two long shots

first half. Brooks and Higbe also
found the net for basket apiece in
the first half.
Captain Copeland Stars.
Captain Copeland at right forward
was the big star for the Trainers,

The five-man defense Of the visitors

feature Of the game was that the
majority of the field goals were made
on comparatively long shots. The
local basketeers missed innumerable

of Captain Stechman and Brooks
who were off form in their shooting.
