STILL SEEKING LOANS
League Agents Scurrying Around in
Effort to Market Sc, 100000
Worth of Bonds.
Representative of Bank of North Da-
keta Goes to Washington, APP
peals to Labor Unions.

The Bank of North Dakota will
open branches in each of the So coun-
ties of the state and private accounts
will be solicited. An appeal is made
to the league members to remain loyal
to the cause and come across with
their deposits now when they are so
much needed. The league agents are
appealing to the labor unions also, and
it is reported that several unions in
this section of the country have re-
sponded. It is also reported that the
special representative of the Bank Of
North Dakota, Sturgeon Odell, has
gone to Washington, D. c., to make
a personal appeal to labor chiefs as
sembled there. He did not meet with
success in Chicago, Detroit, Indianap-
oils, Cleveland or New York and now
he will try his luck in Washington.
Funds are needed to meet the $1,O00,-
600 loan of bank in Chicago, which
comes due in about two weeks.
Some interesting facts have been
stated in regard to the state own
ership enterprises. The mill at Drake,
it is reported, has made total loss Of
between $4,000 and 100000, having
operated at an average loss of 1000
month. AS the Long Prairie Leader
points out-we would have most
happy ca condition of affairs in Min
nesota if we had few mills, packing
houses, elevators and cold storage
plants as state-owned industries op-
Grated under nonpartisan regime as
was the mill at Drake. Those Of US
who feel the taxes are now sufficient
ly high would not be strongly in favor
of entering upon such costly expert
ments.
The state bank has not exactly an
enviable record either. 1t is reported
to have deposits and loans in some of
the smaller banks amounting to two
and three times the entire capital of
such banks. Thirty-two Of these
banks are now closed.
Undoubtedly no other state in the
union is in such a precarious financial
condition as is North Dakota. Mime
sofa should profit by the example Of
North Dakota and give thanks that
her finances are in the control of hon.
est, capable men who know how to
administer affairs of state.

Woman on Board of Control.

The board of control is one of our
most important administrative bodies.
It was established in 1901 and no man
in the state did more effective work in
securing the enactment of the legisla-
ton that created this. body than did
R. c. Dunn. 1t is said that Minnesota
was one of the first states of the
union to adopt the system of central
lied control Of the state institutions
as the insane hospitals, the train
ing schools and the penitentiary. The
board of control is largely response
BILE for the excellent record Minnesota
has made in conducting such state
institutions.
There are three members of this
board and the term of one of these
members expires this year. Governor
Preus has promised to appoint a
woman to fill the position. This is a
big compliment to the women of this
state and one which they we'll merit.
It is concrete evidence of the fact that
the men who are leaders in our state
men with breadth of vision and
sound judgment-realize that the
woman of today is perfectly capable
of filling a responsible public posi-
ton. tits reported that the following
women are being considered for this
position: Mrs. William T. Coe of
Kensington, Mrs. Caroline Crosby Of
Minneapolis and Mrs. Fannie French,
Morse of Sank Center.

BASKET BALL GAMES
Princeton High School Trims St.
Francis to Tune of Is to 8
Mora Wins, 26 to II.
In an Interesting Game Princeton
Second Team is Defeated by
Milaca Second, Is to II.

In a rather slow and uninteresting
game the local high school basketball
team defeated. the ST.. Francis quint
in the high school auditorium to the
tune of Is to 8.
The game was Princeton's from the
beginning. The visitors found it i'm
possible to advance the ball and were
compelled to resort to extremely long
shots in an attempt to score. Only
one of these attempts, however, was
successful, netting st. Francis her
only goal from the field during the
entire game. The local quint seemed
able to get open shots from nearly any
position on the floor, and had they
been able to locate the ring with any
consistency the score would have been
much greater.
Neither lineup presented any stars,
but the Princeton team won on SUI
perior training. The play was at, no
time close and consequently the locals
did not work up to their full capacity,
since the heavy schedule this week
was ahead of them.
In a much more interesting game,
because it was closely contested
throughout, the Princeton second
team was DEBATED by the Milaca Sec
onds, Is to II.

Twill Be a Battle Royal.

There is every indication of get
ting the fats and leans to engage in
a deadly basketball battle after all.
We say deadly" upon the advice of
some Of those concerned, who say it
will be a fight to the finish-that
knee jabs and bare knuckle thrusts
will be resorted to if found necessary.
A good deal Of animosity exists be-
tween the fellows lined up on the
fat and lean sides. But this is mere
jealousy arising from the fact that
most men who carry around super
fluous adiposity and cannot reduce it
by nostrumic application envy the
skinny ones, and the latter arc cnvi-
Gus of the rotund personages be-
cause all attempts to put fat, on their
bones by gorging themselves with
oleaginous substances have failed. 1t
is human nature-nothing more.
So far as We can ascertain, the
composition of the two quints, as mu-
tually agreed upon by the gyastacu-
tises of the two organizations, is as
follows:
Fatties-Mossman, Kunkel, Vande-
vanter, Ross and Plaas.
Skinnies-Odegard, Milbrath, Keith,
Hartman and Thomas.
There will be no substitutes. A
player will be expected to continue in
the game even if he sustains frac-
ture of the ribs, broken arm or leg,
black eye or appendix rupture.
The fats say they expect to use Joe
Mossman as steam roller and Fritz
Kunkel as sort Of buttress, and we
fancy they will make good, for both

NORTH STAR WINS CASE.
The North Star of Cambridge Wins
County Printing Suit in
Isanti Countx

The commissioners of Isanti county
last January awarded the county
printing to the nonpartisan paper, the
1santi and Chisago County News, at
Al cents per folio although the North
Star had submitted a bid of Is cents.
All the commissioners are nonpar-
tisans and four Of them. just previous
to the awarding Of the printing, owned
stock in the News. There is a law
on the statutes which prohibits stock
holders from voting to appropriate
state or county funds to business cor
porations in which they are interested
financially. These four commission
ers evidently thought this law would
not apply to them if they sold their
stock in the News. However they
overlooked one:yer important point
if business corporation has liabilities
the stockholders cannot escape from
thoce liabilities by disposing Of their
stock.
At the time the commissioners sold
their stock the News had an indebted
ness of about $1,000. The attorney
general, in considering similar case
in Wadena county ruled that the
county commissioners in such case
could not vote to award the printing
to the paper in which they had for
merly held stock without violating the
laws Of the state.
In preliminary hearing held be-
fore Judge Giddings at Anoka about
-four weeks ago the facts of the situa-
ton in 1santi county were brought to
light and the Judge served a temper
ary injunction on the News. Tuesday
the case again came before Judge Gid
dings in Cambridge, but was not tried
because the four commissioners ad-
mitted the, charges of the plaintiff.
Judge Giddings then served a perma-
nent injunction on the News, and SO
there is at present no legal paper in
1santi county.
1t is reported that the four commits
sloners may be removed from office.

OGILVIE VICTORIOUS.
In Close, Well Played Game, Scor
10 to %, LegiOnaires Come Out

10 to %, Legionaires Come Out
of Fray Second Best.
In very close and exciting game
the Ogilvie basketball team slipped it
it over on the American legion team
Of Princeton on the Ogilvie floor last
Friday evening. The final count was
10 to % in favor of the Kanabec
county outfit.
The game was hard played but clean
throughout and, while defeated, the
Princeton team gave very good ~ac-
count of itself, and it was only in the
last few minutes of play that the con-
test was definitely decided. Even then
the score was so close that couple of
field baskets or free throws would
have spilled the beans for the seven
Johnnies of Ogilvie; but fortune IA
vored them end they held their three
point lead to the end.
Ogilvie has a good floor and the
treatment of the visiting players was
of the best. The crowd was fair and
impartial with their applause for the
Woodworking cthletes Of both sides,
and when the Ogilvie bunch was final
ly returned victors in the contest the
enthusiasm of the home crowd knew
no bounds.
The score at the end of the first
half was even up, 9 to 9, and in the
second half the field baskets on both
sides were even, but where Princeton
lost the game was in it's inability to
make it's free throws count. Each
team scored Is points on field bas-
kcts. Ogilvie scored points out of
9 free throws, whereas the best
Princeton could do out of the same
number of free throws was three good
ones, and the rest went hay wire.

DICTIONARIES ENTERTAIN.
Series of Boxing Bouts, Music ant
Refreshments Furnished Free
by Boys at Armory.

A real entertainment was given hv
the legionaires at the armory last
Thursday night. It was advertised
for ex-service men only, but the boys
threw open the doors to the general
public. The principal feature Of the
entertainment was a series of boxing
bouts by local athletes which afforded
a good deal of amusement. Here is
the sporting program which was
pulled off:
Three rounds each between Warren
Taylor and Al Satterstrom, Denzil
Cakes and John Anderson, Otto Schlee
and John Godfrey; four rounds be-
tween VIM. Peterson and John Schlec,
and one round between Jack Schmidt
and "Chicky" Hamann.
Bert Mark refereed the contests and
introduced each set Of boxers with a
four-line poctical effusion describing
the combatants. Some were mean
enough to say Bert's poetry didn't
rhyme and others that it was dog
gerel, but the applause which he re-
ceived showed thateit wastpretty good
stuff. The referee declared each
round a draw, which seemed to be
satisfactory to both the boxers and the
300 spectators.
-
Joe Mossman's quartet of virtuosos
rendered several choice selections and
first-class luncheon was partaken Of
in the basement dining room. Besides
there was an abundance of cigars and
cigarettes. Everything was free. The
Elegionaires surely know how to put on
ian entertainment that gives satisfac-
ton.

EDITORS MEET.
Minnesota Editorial Association Holds
Fifty-fifth Annual Con-

met in St. Paul last week for it's fifty
fifth annual convention. The associa-
ton now has more than 600 members
and they are good live bunch of men
and women. No member can attend
such a meeting without feeling Nigh
ty proud of his profession.
Laurence Hodgson delivered the ad-
dress of welcome on Friday morning
and Philip Liesch of the New Ulm
Journal responded on behalf of the
editors. The Minnesota country press
was undoubtedly largely responsible
for placing Jake Preus in the cover
nor's chair, but neither Prcus nor any
other man in Minnesota has more
warm friends in the editorial associa-
ton than has Larry Ho. Friendship
comes before politics and no man can
fill Larry Hos place.
DR.. C. A. Prosser Of the Dunwoody
Institute briefly addressed the meet
ing. At Dunwoody Institute they have
the best equipped print shop in any
industrial school in the world. The
publishers should make use of the op-
portunities there offered to their en-
ployes. ....
The ladies Of the editorial associa-
ton were entertained at most de-
lightful luncheon at the St. Paul Ath-
letic club Thursday. Later in the af-
ternoon they were guests at the Capt.
tol theater.
The principal addresses Thursday
afternoon were delivered by Emma
HARDWOOD of Roosevelt, L. E. Potter,
president of the Farm Bureau fedora
ton, and L. J. Boughner of the Chica-
60 Daily News.
Friday evening the members of the
association and their families attended
banquet in the palm room of the
Hotel St. Paul. The hosts were the
St. Paul association, officials of the
city of St. Paul, Supply Mems associa-
ton Of st. Paul, st. Paul Dispatch and
St. Paul Daily. News. The one adj
dress Of she evening was delivered by
Dan Wigcl, secretary Of the st. Paul
association Of wholesalers and job
bers. The dominant note of his ad-
dress was optimism and he urged the
editors to preach the gospel of ser
vice, boost for the home community
the state and the nation.
The members of the Minnesota Edi-
torial association are opposed to all
radical movements which are founded
on class prejudices. Such movements
never get anything for the people and
should not be sponsored by sane, level
headed men and women.
Philip Liesch of the New Ulm Jour-
nal was elected president of the asso-
citation for the coming year. Mr..
Liesch did heroic work in New Ulm
during the war and this honor is GER
tainly fitting recognition of his SER
vices to the state.
