in town and a growing desire on the
part Of many. to have city basket ball
team, there is every reason to believe
that Warren will soon be represented
on Northern Minnesota basket ball
floors in the near fture E. A. johnson,
high school basket ball coach, received
a letter this week from Donaldson in
regard to the possibilities of staging a
game with town quintet from here.
According to the letter, there are
some fast quintets being gro0med il
various nearby towns who will be itch
ing for an opportunity to clash with q
team from Warren. Some Of the teams
are being organized under the auspicies
Of local American Legion posts and
some under the auspices Of the town.
It Is probable that the local quintet,
should one be formed, will play under
the American Legion post here.

Sane and Sensible
Buying Is Urged

keep on buying - carefully - but
now, is the slogan that has been taken
up by various merchants and trades
men throughout the country in order to
prevent undue depression in every line
According to information on the sub
ject. everyone is In sense, buyer,
and by the same logic, seller.
In order to keep the ball rolling those
who have to sell must sell. That they
may sell what they have for sale, some
one must buy. On the other hand the
buyer must also sell what he has Tor
sale so that the two working together
furnish, each for the other, buyer and
seller.
Judicious buying is to be encouraged
and extravaganza and waste to be
guarded against at this time. There
are those essentials which everyone
will of q necessity have to buy, ana
there are those things which 1t Will De
necessary for each to sell that he may
buy. A hearty cooperation, sane
course of expenditures with each doing
his or her share, will soon put business
conditions on prosperous footing, Il

1T WAS COLD-BUT
NOW-SLIPPERY, AYE?

Way down below the Mason and
Dixon line and In tropical cllmes
there is little opposition by old man
weather to the folks washing their
windows in January. In Northern
minnesota. however, things are us
ually different and the washing of
windows is more often confined to
the good old summer tine.
Negligence on the part of the
weather man. however, allowed a
very cOnsenial south wind to come
slipping around the corners early
this morning with n resultant jan
uary thavv, drizzle of rain, slippery
footing. But sit's an ill wind that
blows nobody good, so that while
acrObatic stunts were being per-
formed on the sidewalks by pedes-
TRANS, a number of local business
men were washing the cold side of
their windows.

SCHOOL BOARD
URGES STATE AID
ACCESSIBILITY of Making Junior-Senior
High School Also Taken Up
At Session.

Letters to the local representatives in
the state law-ma King bodies urging that
the present state aid for schools be
maintained viii be addressed to these
men by the officers Of the local school
board. as a result of decision made
at the regular meeting of the school
board last Monday night. The adyisa-
bflity Of making a junior-senior high
school at the high school building was
also taken up and fully discussed by
the members Of the school board but
no definite action taken at that time.
As the result of the appearance Of
several bills before various committees
in the state capitol, which, if put
through both houses, would probably
lower the present state aid, it was
deemed advisable by members Of the
school board to take the matter up with
the local representatives Then ten
dency in the legislature at this time,
according to reports from there, is to
lower the state aid funds.
Considerable time was devoted by the
members Of the board, to the discussion
Of the ACCESSIBILITY of taking the seventh
grade to the high school building for
its work and sending the third grade
pupils, who now attend school at the
high school building, to the Washington
school, The seventh grade pupils now
attend the Washington school. The
chief objection to the proposed plan,
which appeared at the meeting, was
that the third grade pupils living on
east side of town would have to cross
the tracks to attend school in the Wash
ington building.
Several other matters were taken up
at the meeting and bills allowed. The
meeting was the regular monthly meet
ing which had been postponed from the
regular date.
