picked up today, bruised and
drugged, said she had been dragged
into a car while waiting on a cor

SOLDIER BONUS
STARTS STORMY
SENATE DEBATE
McCumber Champions
Bill, While Borah Takes
Up Opposition.

Proposed soldier bonus legislation
provoked a stormy debate In the
Senate Thursday with the McCum-
Der f1ve-fold adjusted compensa-
tion" plan as the issue.
Championing the bill, Senator
McCumber. North Dakota, it's auth
thor, urged its passage as restitu-
tion for injustices and discrimina-
tions to which he said the govern
ment had subjected its soldier in
the war.
While these soldiers were wal
lowing waist-deep in the mud and
filth of trenches, risking all, for a
mere pittance, the government. he
said. was pampering an coddling
the labor man. and permitting prof.
teers to wax rich on war contracts.
Senator Borah. of Idaho, at
tackled the bill as unjust to the
soldier, unjust to the Taxpayer
and discreditable to the Senate"
In my humble opinion" he as
serted. "if the leaders of the Repub-
lican party want to do a patriotic
thing, they will take this bill back
to the committee and make a real
bill instead of a pretext out of It.
They will either present a bona fide
proposition to the soldiers, or they
will say we are not, in a condition
to meet this problem now. and the
latter in my estimation is the wise
andpatriotic course to take"

VIC. TEAMS WIN
ANDL0SE GAMES

Leading the game by score of IL
to ID at the end of the first half, the
Valley City American Legion basket
ball team went down to defeat before
the North Dakota Agricultural team
Saturday evening by the score OF 80
to 10. The Legion team displayed. a
fine brand of basketball during the
first half, but the Aggies opened up
with a broadside in the second half
and scored repeatedly.
The North Dakota Aggies first score
was a free throw. One more free
throw and a field goal and the game
developed into defensive and often
sive, with no scoring until the Valley
City team dropped in two field baskets.
A number of substitutes were sent in
during the first half by the Aggie
coach. .<-
The second half the Legion team
were unable to find the basket, and
during the latter part of the half
resorted to a strong defense which
held the Aggies from running the
score u pstill higher. III
H. S. Beats CasseltOn
Outclassing their opponents in de-
tense and offense work, and display
ing. a considerable better brand of
basketball in all angles of playing:
the Valley City High school basket
ball team defeated the Casselton High
school Saturday evening by score Of
II to IA. Casselton has been playing
a ragged game all season, occasionally
coming to the front and playing a
strong game and again falling down
miserably. The Valley City teams
strong defense was a stone wall to the
Casselton bunch and superior floor
work won the game for Valley City.
Casselton, however, was strong enough
to make the locals play the game ev-
cry minute, and but for the strong
defense of Valley City might have
easily overcome the small lead.
