SPORTING GOODS COST
AS MUCH AS LAST YEAR

New York, Feb. 26.-If you're a
"water-dog" you can have fun next
summer at bargain prices.
Otherwise it will cost you just as
much to play as it did at last years
high prices. Leading sporting goods
manufacturers here say that SWIM
ming suits and paraphernalia will he
from Is to 40 per cent cheaper, but
no cuts will be made in the price of
tennis, golf Or baseball equipment.
Very few Increases in prices will be
made, however.
Tennis equipment remains about
the same price. Balls will still be sold
for 60 cents and good racquet can
be bought for SIS. Nets, posts, reels
tapes, ETC., remain at the same prices.
The difficulty in securing seasoped
ash and the high cost of material for
strings is keeping the price OF
racquets up, they say. Ash has jump
ed thirty per cent in price and the
price of gut" has not only mounted
in the same proportion, but the pack
ers are unwilling to handle it.
In pointing out the difficulties en-
countered in manufacturing racquets,
one big dealer called attention to
something not generally known to the
lay player, that only gut" from grass
fed lamb could be used. The prod
uct from alkaline fed animals is too
rough, he said.
Golf equipment remains about the
same price also. Some Of the finest
clubs made from hickory have jump
ed one dollar, but the ordinary
"sticks" remain the same as last year
as also do balls, at one dollar each.
Baseball equipment has not in
creased in price. The best balls will
sell for $3.50, good glove can be
purchased for Sc, and bats run from
SO cents up-mostly up.
Despite the pronounced drop in the
wool market. uniforms will be no
cheaper as the manufacturers were
forced to buy their materials late last
summer and during the fall.
Sweaters, wooden caps, jerseys and
however, arc down 40 per
cent. Sweaters that sold last season
for $25 are now available for SIS
and cheaper in some cases.
Swimming suits alone on the list
will be cheaper. Materials were

L0CALSDEFEAT
BRAINERDHICH
Visitors Begin Scoring but
Bemidji Soon Takes Safe
Lead Until End

Brainerd high~school went down
for it's second defeat at the hands of
the Bemidji high school basketball
team this season when it was down.
ed last night at the armOry by a
score of 80 to 16. Although the
start of the game looked as If Be-
midi would get trimming on its
own floor, the locals came back after
a few minutes Of play and set up a
pace which was hard for the visitors
to beat of.
Brainerd began the/scoring with
two field baskets and it was not I'M
til after another point had been
added the visitors score on a free
throw that Bemidji melted its first
point on a free throw. Stechman
then scored two baskets in rapid sue
'cession, tying the score. Engelbret-
son, for the visitors, netted again,
and then Stechman tied the score for
the second time. A field basket by
Simons put the Belnidji team in the
lead and from then on the lead con-
tinued to increase gradually, Stech-
man coming in for nine field baskets,
and playing whale of game all
the way through. The lengthy Gen.
ter showed his real ability last night
and proved the fact that he is valu-
able asset to the team.
The first half ended with the score
13 to in favor of the home quint
and after the start of the second
period, the OUTCOME of the game
seemed to be matter of points, Be-
midji easily being the favorite.
Prior to- the Brainerd-Bemidji
game, the Bagley girls defeated the
local high school girls II to 7, the
score at the end of the first half
being to s. The local girls failed
to keep up their scoring in the last
half anu netted only one field basket
in that period That the Bagley girls
have a first class team was clearly
shown by their teamwork and basket
shooting.
The work of Referee caldwell was
highly commendable and both teams
were satisfied with the fairness of the
calling. A fast game resulted from
the style of play officialled by Cauld-
we'll.
The lineup for the Bemidji-Brain-
erd game was as follows:

AMERICA, GREAT BRITAIN
AND JAPAN SHOULD CONFE

London, July 9.-The London
Times gave prominence today to a
long dispatch from its Washington
correspondent in which he asserts
that concern of the American people
over a renewal of the Anglo-Japa-
nese treaty has developed and that
the British's desire for a policy
parallel to that of America cannot
be attained If the alliance is renewed
whatever notifications might be
made in it.
Inquiries by the correspondent.
however led him to assert that there
is a middle course whereby salts
factory outcome can be achieved
without Great Britain throwing over
Japan or abandoning the policy of
ed States. This course if followed,
the correspondent believes, would
end a situation which he says seems
dangerously near an impasse. The
plan suggested by the correspondent
briefly is this: Conversations be-
tween the United States, Great
Britain and Japan leading eventual
ly to extending of notes which might
have broad effects.

profession is assisted.
Mr.. Tcmlinson explained that IL a
farmer signed his tobacco and cotton
contracts the two together would
cost only $500. The farmers
, of California paid ten dollars and
the peanut growers of Virginia and
the Carolinas paid ten dollars when
they organized.
Mr.. Tomlinson said they wanted
to put Wilson county over in good
shape within a week. and that he
wanted to do the job quicker than
had been done in other counties,
some of which had taken six months
to organize.
At the conclusion of his remarks,
Mr.. H. D.. Brown stated that the
thanks of the farmers and those pres
ent are due Mr. Tomlinson for the
energy, time and thought he has
put on the work. as indicated by the
very clear and explicit way in which
he had demonstrated the matter. Mr..
Brown was followed by Mr.. B. T..
Ferguson who said that he wanted
Wilson county to show up better
than the others for Mr.. Tomlinson's s
sake. He paid high tribute to the ef-
forts of Mr.. Tomlinson, whom he
said had spent his money and given
his time to the work, and that he
could do nothing of greater value to
the farmers of the country. Mr.. Tom
linson said in rejoinder that he
ldeeply appreciated all that had been
said regarding him, but that he real
ly felt that If this movement succeeds
in securing the cooperation of the
farmers of the country it will be the
most important and valuable work
that has ever been done for the
south.
The committees will begin work
on Tuesday and visit the various
townships as published in the Times.
The meeting will be held at the
various precincts and the meeting
will be followed by a canvas of the
county. In each township the COM
mittees will be assisted by leading
local farmers. The enthusiasm of
the meeting last night indicated great
interest and earnestness on the
part of every one present. Those who
Iare going on Tuesday will be at the
Chamber of Commerce at eight o.
jclock Tuesday morning.
