Basketball Work
 Begins at Alabama
ny JACK TnEllMAN

University. october 4--( Special )-- Every night now the university gymnasium is enliVened by the l5 or 20 lads who report nightly to Coach Crisp for basketball practice only the new men are taking part in these practices. Some material of excep- tIonal merit is already coming to light. Among these are Stabler, all- state high school star from Green vile; Carter. from Hazel Green, who played at Middle Tennessee Normal last year, and Dent from Southern Military academy. All three are cen- ters. but can be shifted to other po sitions. Two promising guards are Mcdonald, from Newark. N. J., and McCllntoek from Lake Forest, Ill. McClintoclS has played under the fa- nous Coach Ralph Jones of the uni- Hersity of Illinois, Two forwards who are showing up among the best are Corbtt from AbbeVlle and Cum mings from Washington, D. C,
 Group of Tall Guys
 All expect two of the above men are above six feet in height. This is a marked contrast from the squad of last year, which was considered the lightest and smallest group of men composing q basketball quintet In the l Bernier wants height as we'll as speed.
 There are other new men who are doing excellent work and are going to push mighty hard for a berth on the squad
 The men of last years squad who are not playing football report every afternoon for practice. With cool weather now, they will be able to get down to work in earnest.
 The two squads will be brought to- gether for joint practice about the first week in November. There is much speculation on the campus as to which of the old men Coach Bernier will retain on the varsity squad, as some of the new men are showing up in such splendid form that even the letter men are not secure in their places.
 Last Hear's stars
 The midget McGauley, star forward of last year; Captain Hudson and Arnistead Leake, guards; Speedy Keith and Ben Dorroh are the letter men on the campus, They will all have their work cut out for them to get on this years five.
 Last year interest in basketball at the university was heightened re- markaly. but it will be even sur passed this year. it is thought. Bleacher seats will be erected on both sides of the court in the big gym nasium, giving the court the same appearance as the gridiron on Denny Field. It is expected that 1,S00 peo- ple can be seated and there will be standing room at both ends to accom- modate 200 more.

CHOLERA SPREADS. AS HUNGER GROWS. AMONG ARMEN|ANS
25 Persons Die Daily in City of AIexandropoI, Wagons Gathering Up Bodies
 From Streets
By Assoeiated Press


 era is spreading throughout that part of Armenia which was the scene of the war between the Turks and Armenians last winter, according to a dispatch received here from Tiflis land forwarded by Paxton Hibben, oi Indianapolis. Ind. MT Hibben is 8 member of the group of representa- tives of the Near Eas Relief and re- gently visited Armenia before start Ing northward through Russia to Mos COW. He writes that the cholera is due to lack of foodstuffs and the consequent reduced resistance of the population to the lnroads of dis ease. He adds
 An average of 25 aged persons and young children are dying daily in the streets of Alexandropol from cholera and hunger. The bod ies are being loaded in the wagons which are continually making the rounds of the streets In search for corpses.
 The American Near East Relief is taking additional hundreds of vir- tually naked children into its al- ready overcrowded orphanages and houses them under open sheds until buildings can be obtained. There are 6s registered cases of cholera in Erivan and Al at Alex anddropol and the deaths are aver aging 20 per cent of the cases. An Armenian physician of the Near East Relief In Alexandropol has Just died of the disease Two buildings of the American orphanages there are Quarantined on account of chol- era cases. This results in confining in the buildings 1900 children and several American relief workers.
 At Karaklis there are four chol- era cases among 5S5 orphans under American care but the edidemic among thee hildren is being at least held in check.

 "The homeless inhabitants of l40 towns, razed by the Turks, who are now camping in the fields and swarming In the city streets. are without the slightest hope of as- sistance from the impoverished gov ernment in whose paper money 5000 rubles is equivalent to one cent.
 "The Armenian foreign minister, Ascanas Mooravian, and the minister of supplies, Sarkis Srabeonian, re- gently waited on a delegation of 20 Americans headed by Charles V. Vickrey, general secretary of the Near East Relief, to appeal for American aid to see Armenia through the winter They stated that the government was trying desperately to obtain grain from Persia but that the Persian government was becom- ing alarmed at the exportation of foodstuffA and was putting an em- hargo on it's exports. thus cutting off the only nearby source supply.
 "The present crops in Armenia were sown in May after the depart ure of the Turks and in consequence of this late planting the grain Is stunted The government estimates that 1t cannot possibly. even with a minimum consumption, supply the population with food beyond June next.
 "The housing conditions also are appalling, owing to the destruction of many of the villages. Last winter the roofs of houses throughout Ar menia were burned for fuel. This leaves many occupied houses with gaping roofs which will be open to the winters snows while the govern ment estimates that 500,o0o people are homeless"

every GOOD IN SPOTS

Do YOU recall the story of the very
polite guest who was asked by his
hostess if the egg he was trying to
eat was not good.
1T is very good in spots" was his
answer.
The Bank of North Dakota, follow
ing the recent payment OF taxes,
triumphantly announces that mo valid
checks are now being refused" and it
is threatening libel suit against any
one who says they are.
But bank is like an egg, 1t cant
be part "good" and part bad. It
can't discriminate between valid"
checks, except on the basis OF whether
or not the person drawing the check
has sufficient funds to meet 1T.
The Bank of North Dakota IN an.
nouncing that it is again paying a.!
"valid" checks, except as invalid"
of course, certain classes OF checks
drawn by counties. school districts and
other political subdivisions, which
have ample funds to their credit to
meet any checks they draw. 1t also
excerpts such items as hail warrants,
with the excuse that "most OF them
are now due to warrant-shavers. "
What difference does that, make!
When you draw check on your bank,
YOUR banker has no right to refuse
payment because he doesn't like the
person to whom you gave the check.
Apparently the spectacle Of bank
| making list of checks which it will
pay and checks which it will not pay,
does not strike the administration as
either amusing or unusual. The bank
officials. in fact: seem to think it is an
accomplishment to pay even part OF
the checks drawn on their institution.
Of course. if the directors OF priv
ately owned bank, attempted to pub,
lish list of the checks they would
pay and the checks they wouldn't,
they would find receivers sign post
ed on the front door within "a hours.

co FORWARD!

Forgetting the things that are be-
hind US in the war and peace and
business and losses, let US press for
ward that we may regain business, re-
coup losses, that we may recreate
prosperity and employment, that we
may bring happiness where there is
now poverty and sorrow, and profit
able employment for the millions now
seeking work.
The task before us is big enough to
stir the heroic in American manhood
but the prizes to be won are great
enough to stimulate all the latent am
billions of every man and woman.
Here are 105 100000 people, taken
as a whole the most virile, energetic
and resourceful in the world, living
under one flag, unvexed by the arbi-
trary dividing lines of European ma
tionalities, occupying as trustees the
most richly endowed and superbly 10.
Gated country known to man. T.
Our resources are beyond the pow
err Of our minds to grasp or of words
to portray.
Here in almost endless abundance
are the resources on which to build ar
industrial and agricultural wealth
greater than that Of all the w,orlo
today.
With per cent Of the worlds popu
lation and per cent of the worlds
land area, we already produce from
40 to 60 per cent or over Of nearly al
the greatest products of the world
have nearly half the worlds railroad
mileage and a third of the world:
accumulated wealth, and this wealth
is more evenly distributed than in an!
other country on earth through all tn
ages of the past or present. 9
And yet we have scarcely begun t
develop our natural resources as meas
ured by their vast extent.
Let US, therefore, go forward. :.
There is enough work which need
to be. done, and the doing of whicl
would enrich our country, to keep full!
employed every laborer in the coun
try.
Down, then, with pessimisnl and in
activity, and up with optimism an
progress! Forward! 5s.

a sentiment against recall. The gem
