The District Tourney Returns

Not only the pupils of the Richmond high
schools, but the patrons we'll, are glad to know
that district basketball tourney will be held
here in March. Basketball has become one of the
favorite winter sports of the community, and in
former years the presence of dozens of teams
from surrounding cities the occasion for
general turnout of the city to watch the con-
tests.
Alleged unfair treatment of teams two
years ago resulted in the removal OF the tourney
from Richmond last year. Every one felt the loss
keenly. And it is gratifying to learn that the
charges were found to be untrue upon investiga-
tion and that the authorities have again selected
the city as one of the district meeting places.
The high school and the public generally rejoices
in the decision, and if there the slightest
semblence of truth in the accusation, the city will
take every precaution to prevent repetition of
the offenses.
craftsmanship is always respected and ap
preciated. Richmond has never had to feel
ashamed over the conduct of it's boys and girls
when their teams were clashing with visitors.
Spectators who saw the games played here were
delighted to see that true craftsmanship FREEDOM
mated so overwhelmingly that the home rooters
did not refrain from appauding long and hard
brilliant piec of team work the individual
proves of member of visiting team.
This is the spirit which the city applauds in
it's boys and girls. We all feel sure that when the
visitors leave this year they will go home with
the knowledge that Richmond entertained them
royalty and gave them full credit for their ability
to play the game.
The district tournaments develop school spirit
and heghten the love and affection of the boys
and girls for their own school, Richmond has
been honored in being selected one of the
places where the preliminaries for the state tour
nament will be conducted. "To have the best
tournament in the state is the slogan of the
pupils and teachers. The whole city subscribes
to that sentiment and will help the high school
fulfill it,

ImvBcnent Meeting Was Greatest In

Its History
II. ]. Hodge was reelected TOT
the 33d year as secretary and treas
urer OF the Western Retail Imple-
ment 4 Hardware Dealers associa'
ton which has closed Its annual ses'
sion in Kansas City. NJ. A. Wen
CERT of Kansas City is the new presi'
dent.
H. L. Covert, assistant secretary
said that the convention was the
best the association has ever held.
"Dealers and manufacturers reached
n common ground Of understanding" )"
Mr.. Covert said, "that will be Dig
benefit to all the implement and
hardware trade" The feeling Of both
manufacturers and merchants Is
that spring business will be good.
The address of Secretary Hodge
was one of the outstanding features.
1t was given rising vote Of approx
al and ordered printed for wide dis
tribution. In It he discussed the po-
sitions Of manufactures and dealers.
"The time is ripe" he said, "for
the manufacturers to begin taking
their losses and charge them against
the profits of years past. The
farmer has taken his losses. He
stands pat on the proposition that
Others must do the same. Until they
do he has resolved to refrain from
buying more than the actual necessi'
ties.
"If manufacturers desire to help
bridge over the readjustment period
they should-and feel sure they
will-take some of the burden OF
present conditions, remembering that
they have had four years of excep-
tional business. They should make
the dealer feel that they are willing
to cooperate with him. The dealei
meets the customer face to face and
must be able to satisfy the trade.
With the manufacturers co-opera-
tion the dealer will be able to feel
his way, day by day. until his fee'
are on solid ground"
To the dealer Mr.. Hodge recon-
mended caution in ordering and urg-
cd merchants to increase selling ef'
forts. "It is not as though we were
confronted with crop failure and
famine. There is wheat In the pins
