County Conuer,-
fion Resolutions
The Sumter County Democrats Endorse
Wilson Administration and De-
1nand Ratification of
Treaty

the convention had given this matter
| Of bonus to soldiers much thought
and it would be wise to go slow in
taking a stand-it would be better tc
| hands off at this time and leave the
question to the State Conventions or
tho National Convention.
Mr. E. w. Dabbs, Jr., said he was
not in close touch with the Legion.
but he could see no real objection TO
the resolution as it was simply an en-
dorsement Of the action OF the State
organization; but if it was in conflict
with the policy Of the Legion, there
would be no sacrifice Of principle Il
no action was taken. Mr.. w. l.. Nc
Cutchen, when called on expressed
similar views.
Mr.. Manning read the resolut1eas
adopted by the executive committee
of the South Carolina American Leg
ion in reference to the soldiers bon
us, which were endorsed by the reso-
luton he had offered. He briefly re-
viewed tho record Of patriotic and di:s-
tinguished service that Southern men
had rendered in the World War ard
said shat the stand they had taaea
in respect to the bonus was in keeping
with this record OF 1lnselfish service.
He said in conclusion that the rec
ord spoke for itself and that if the
ule7nbers OF the organization objected
to the adoption of the resolution, he
would withdraw it as ne had no pEr-
pose to go counter to their wishes.
The section of the resolution refer
ring to the American Legion was &C
cordingly withdrawn. The remainder
rof the resolution offered by AR. Man
ming was then adopted by acclama-
ton
The following resolution offered b.
Mr.. Manning and amended by Mr.. l..
D. Jennings was adopted by acclama-
ton:
In county and State we stand for
bc11ef salaries for teachers in pub
lie schools and in State institutions,

STORM LEAVES ROADS
IN BAD CONDITION

The recent storm left the roads
north of here in bad condition, and
homesteaders state that they have
had great difficulty in getting to
town, especially when they found it
necessary to break the trail.
Ernest Sjoquist, who lives 25 miles
north of town, was in the first of the
week and reports that the roads out
his way are very bad. Coming to
town he had to break nineteen miles
of road through the snow. Mr.. Sjo-
quist reports the birth of a daughter,
Mabel, on December 80.
Hans Siljenberg was three days
coming in from his home 81 miles
north, in Pershing community. He
found the roads in terrible condi-
ton, and one night got lost in the
hills and wandered around for hours
in danger Of freezing, before he
could find shelter. He finally found
the house of a man named Woods
and spent the remainder of the
night there.

The Wolves, the city basketball
team, have issued a challenge thru
the Great Falls Tribune and Mon
tana Record-Herald to any team in
the state. The boys are anxious to
date up some good games and stand
ready to take on any team that is
willing to meet them. So far they
have had no replies.
The Record Herald in publishing
the challenge says:
Manager Berlin of the Wolf
Point Wolves has issued a challenge
to any basketball team in the state
for games. He doesn't qualify his
statement in any way and is willing
to arrange contests if a letter is
written to him. His address is Dick
Berlin, Wolf Point.
"Wolf Point is admitted to be one
Of the hvest sport towns in the
state, supporting fast baseball team
while the big cities of the state
could not even make expenses with
amateur teams. One big factor in
this success of the Wolf Point sport
mas been the hearty support accord |

the snappiest organizations in the

BOYS AND GIRLS TEAMS
ARE BEATEN BY POPLAR

The Wolf Point high school girls
and boys basketball teams played
at Poplar last Saturday night. A
number of rooters went along. The
girls game was slow. Neither side
could get started. The Wolf Point
girls had the ball in Poplar's terrific
ry most of the time but could not
score. Shot after shot went wild.
The lack of suction soles bothered
and resulted in the girls slipping to
the floor whenever they did shoot.
The Poplar girls played clean game
and made two pretty loop shots.
The final score was to in favor
of our opponents.
The boys game was an eye-opener.
The Poplar boys started in with a
rush and played our fellows off their
feet for few seconds. The Wolf
Point boys soon settled to work and
began to do little scoring. Mar
lyn Young began to find himself and
SOllSlSISnIly OubJu1hpCu HIS IdilSI. up
ponents. The Wolf Point signals be-
gan to work and our score looked
better. The half ended in Poplar's
favor. In the second half Wolf Point
carried Poplar off her feet. Five
baskets were Gagged to three by Pop
lar. We had a chance to tie the score
Several fouls were called on Wolf
Point players. Poplar Gagged one or
two more and the game was over.
The Wolf Point players were a sur
prise to the Poplar team and fans.
The Poplar team has been together
for four years and is one of the best
in this country. We expect to give
them faster game when they come |
up here. The final score was 81 to
II. After the game the teams were
invited to dance. Clean sportsman
ship was shown in both games. On
Friday night Of this week our boys
meet the fast Glasgow team on the
ocal floor. The girls season has
