The Bottineau high school football
team played the final game Of the
season at the fair grounds Friday at
ternoon, when they met their old riv-
al, The Rugby High, from which team
they won IA to 0. The score does not
just exactly indicate the kind Of game
it was and it was not until the last
half that score was made.
Rolla Eastgate, captain and quart
er back Of the Bottineau team made q
real mark for himself in this game,
making both touchdowns scored by
Bottineau and kicking two goals out
Of two attempts. Rolla made the first
score on an end run and carried the
ball 40 yards for a touchdown. The
second touchdown was also made by
Rolla ard this on a punted ball BY
Rugby, which our little quarter back
received and raced 10 yards for the
final score. s 5z sS &
Two weeks ago the local high team
went to Rugby and played q 9 TO %
game.
The Bottineau High School team
has played four games thisseas and
not an opponent team has scored 9,
point on them.

BAGS IL POUND GOOSE

Dr.. r. II. Mccullough is about the
happiest man in town since yesterday
morning no, he didn't get married
he bagged a 12 pound goose, while
hunting ducks In company with Fay
aAmsbaugh in the Mountains. The bird
weighs trifle over II pounds and
from tip to tip Of wings measures 8
feet, 10 inches. Had it not been Tor
gun trouble, the Doctor might have
succeeded IN getting several more out
Iof the same flock.
l The above Is the story as told BY
glEessrs. Mel Cullpugh and Amsbangh,
but Chas. Beeyers tells = Courant re-
porter that hes was ii the hills yester-
day buying cattle and that q young
farmer lad told him he sold big goose
to Dr. McC Cullough of Bottinean for
7.5O. Howeyer, we figure the Doctor
honestly shot the goose sor Nh. Beev-
,ers would have i larger one hanging
up III his meat market, that cost him
around $40 700. .lst

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Last Friday Bottineau High School
downed their old rivals by score Of

the ball journeyed back and forth be-
tween the goals during the first halt
neither team seemingly had the push
to put it over the line. The first halt
ended o to % altho Bottineau had an
excellent opportunity 70 score as they
had hrst down on Rugby's Z yard line.
However after two incomplete forward
passes and q costly tumble Bottineau
lost the ball and also lost their chance
to score. The second half was the
more interesting period Of the game.
Captain Eastgate Of the Bottineau
eleven ran thru 4 broken field after
catching . punt for the first touch
down. The interference given him .o1
this run was III good form. The second

WORKMEN HAVE BIG PARTY

Tuesday evening Of this week at the
/. o. O. F. hall the Workmen and De-
gree Of Honor members held q party
which consisted Of dancing, card and
game playing and vocal solos by Mrs.
Geo. B. McMillen and Johnston Walk
er and from every one present we
learn the affair will long be remem-
bered. The party was one Of the old
time kind, in which every person pres
.ent took part in something or other
and enjoyed the whole evening, a
light lunch was served at midnight.
& We all hope the entertainment COM
mittee will decide to put on several OF
these old time parties during the
winter.

about fifteen boys reported. We lost
four from our first string players last
year so our team will be new at the
game for a while. The training gained
in football will stand US in good stead
and work should go forward in good
shape.
The first six weeks are over. The
grades have been very carefully stud
led and many pupils have been advised
to drop some Of their work; in this
manner they will be enabled to put
more time on their remaining studies.
The high school has purchased 100
new song books. These were very bad
ly needed and our Assembly singing
is much improved as consequence.
We are going to have program on
Armistice Day consisting Of songs,
readings and speeches. At this pro-
gram we will take up a collection for
the new Childrens' Home to be built
at Fargo. We invite all the friends of
the school to come and celebrate No
vember 18th with us.
This is. Flag Oath month and the
Assembly is giving the flag oath ev-
cry morning at nine o'clock. Here it
is "I pledge allegiance to my flag
and to the country for which it stands
one nation indivisible with Liberty and
Justice for ALL" ....-.....
The library books which were pur-
chased by last years graduating
class have arrived. This is a fine col
lection of books and they will mater
tally aid the outside readings in the
English courses. This custom of using
the surplus class money for books is
an excellent one and in a few years
we will have our Library as large as
it was before the old school building
was destroyed by fire.

SECTIONAL MEETING OF
INTEREST TO ALL

A number of men and women from
this section of the state attended the
recent regional meeting held in Minot
on Oct. "a, when representatives Of
Red Cross chapters conferred with
leaders from Central Division Head
quarters in Chicago.
Mr.. M. L. Helgerson, Chairman Of
Bottineau County Chapter was pres
ent and brings back word that re-
newed enthusiasm for carrying on Red
Cross work in this part of the coun-
try and financing it by the annual
Roll Call, will doubtless result from
the meeting. 4H
Work of the Red Cross chapters for
ex-service men, along health lines and
in other local work was discussed at
the morning meeting Reports from
chapters showed an increase in the
kinds of services carried on in con-
nection with the Red Cross organiza-

subjects presented and the closing
pageant in which more than $500
people took part.
During the remainder Of the meet
ing, plans for financing the local
chapter budgets by the annual Roll
Call were taken up in detail. An ef-
fort will be made to let people know
Of the sustaining and contributing
membership since practically the en-
tire amount Of these subscriptions is
used for local work in addition to
funds for dollar memberships.
Opening on Armistice Day, the Roll
Call is designed to give everyone an
opportunity to re-enroll as a member
in the Red Cross! This opening date
is especially appropriate since work
for the ex-service men and their fam
tiles, which has assumed vast proper
tions since the close Of the war Is one
Of the first obligations Of the Red
Cross. Solicitation Of memberships
will continue until Thanksgiving.

.cARDF|lA BANK IS
ENTERED SATURDAY

The Gardena State Bank, Gardena,
IN. d. was burglarized early on Sat
urday morning at about 1856. The
yeggs forced the front door Of the bank
with a croWbar, broke the lock and
wrecked the entire door frame. They
tried to get into the vault by picking
the combination, but broke the knob
off, 50 they cut a hole about A by A
into the side Of tht south walllof the
vault. They blew money chest all to
pieces and got $36.71 in silver that
had been left in this chest. They tried,
the time safe but did not get in, how
ever, they wrecked it and it will be
necessary to send it in for repairs be-
fore it can be used. Two ont Of the
three clocks in it were badly dam
aged by the jar. The explosion was q
heavy one. The door Of the chest was
driven through a twelve inch board
cutting same like it would with saw,
through a bunch Of books and nearly
through two layers Of brick. The
vault is practically q total wreck as
is the west end of the building.
So far no trace of the burglars has
been found. They came in from the
east and went west. They drove q
large car, having five inch tires. The
two front wheels had nobby treads,
and also the left hind wheel, and the
right hind wheel had a ribbed tread.
They broke into the Northland Eleva-4
tor and got about ten gallons Of gas
and broke into the section house
where they got a pick which was used
to 60 through the brick wall Of the
vault. They cut all wires leading out
Of town. According to the safe ex-.
pert it was the work of amateurs.
They left a complese line Of tools,
crow bar, sledge hammer, pincers,
blacksmith tongs, chisel, punch, pick,
flashlight batteries, fuse, caps, soap,
etc, and if anyone should happen to
miss any of the above articles, are re-
quested to get in touch with the bank.
4 The damage is estimated at over
$2,O00.00. This IS the second time this
bank has been burglarized, within
two years. +

. Judge Seth w. Richardson, special
attorney general in the grade grading
case now before the United States
supreme court, was notified yesterday
that the court had refused to head mo-
tion for setting aside the stay granted
in the injunction issued by the lower
court restraining the state from en-
forcing the law. The supreme court
also set November IA as the day on
which it will hear arguments on the
validity Of this law.
AS result Of yesterdays decision
of the court the state grain grading
law will be in full force and effect till
the supreme court has had an oppor-
tunity to pass on the constitutionality
of the act.
Nonpartisan League Law
The North Dakota grain grading
law was passed by the 1919 session Of
the North Dakota Legislature. It is
Nonpartisan League platform meas
ure and provides that the elevators
must pay the market value of all dock
age in the grain purchased by them
and that the grading and weighing Of
grain be under the supervision of the
state grain grading department. Un-
der this law all elevators and grain
buyers must take out state license.
These license fees pay all the expens-
es of this department, including
corps Of inspectors for keeping check
of the grain buyers transactions.
AS soon as this law went into oper-
alton it was attacked by the elevator
companies. Sveinbjom Johnson, re-
Gently elected attorney general, had
charge of the case for the grain firms,
aided by an attorney from the Mime.
apolis chamber of commerce It is
Johnson's contention the law is uncon-
stitutional.
State Won in First Round =
The case was originally brought in
the name Of the Embden Farmers Ele-
vator company at Embden, N. D., in
the United States district court in
Fargo. Judge Chas. F. Amidon sat in
the case and decided the law is valid.
johnson took an appeal to the United
States district court Of appeals and
this court held it unconstitutional.
Attorney General Lemke then applied
to that court for stay until an ap-
peal to the United States supreme
court could be taken. This was refused
and Mr.. Lemke went right before the
supreme court and was granted a stay.
It was this stay that the supreme
court yesterday refused to vacate and
tho law remains in f''l force and ef-

MILLION DOLLARS
.t TAKEN BY FARMERS

Mort than one million DuShelS OF
grain have already been pledged by
the farmers Of four states and about
one million dollars Of the War Finance
Corporation loan to the Equity Coop
erative Exchange is already taken up.
As the farmers learn that they do not
have to sell their grain on the pres
ent disastrcusly low market, the de-
mand for information and for share
in the loan il steadily increasing.
Thirty-seven field men are at work in
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da-
kota and Montana and can hardly
keep up with the requests for litera-
ture and cqilEracts.
A representative of the Pool work
ing at Veblen, s. D., pledged over
5000 bushels la two days from indi-
vidual farmers. Work has just started
in Cavalier comfy, where the first
farmer to pool his grain was E. L.
Haven, who pledged $500 bushels.
From Raymond, Mont, field man
secured pledges from seven farmers
totalling $500 bushels on Oct. goth.
Charles Sheels, Of LaMoure county
has pledged his entire 1920 crop Of
10000 bushels.sIn Yellow Medicine Co.
u pledged their total wheat crop of
1850 bushels. The small Minnesota
farmers have produced a large amount
Of wheat and il is expected that most
Of it will 60 into the pool to help the
Northwestern farmer, who must have
immediate action or sell their grain at
a loss. ss r.
Bankers and businessmen of the
Northwest are fully alive to the mar
keting crisis that faces the farmers
who must have money to pay their OBJ
legations and are helping the farmers
to meet this crisis by cooperating
with them in pooling their grain. The
sentiment is expressed in letter
from G. F. Peterson, cashier Of the
Farmers Bank-at Ray, who wrote:
s'The farmers here are holding their
grain and would welcome an oppor-
tunity to join the pool"
This is one Of the score of such let
ters received by the organization Of
flee Of the Equity Of Fargo, according
to B. H. Critchfiead; Field Manage,
Of the Pool. Business men have awak-
ened to the fact that the Pool will
bring big amount Of government
money into the territory, and at the
same time protect the farmer from be-
ing forced to sell at present prices
With the. farmer, they have learned
says Mr.. Critchfield, that the Equity
Grain Growers Pool affords a genuine
storage, prevents dumping the wheat
on the market and keeps within the
state aid in the farmers hands the
money his crop should bring.
Surveys are now being made by
many Of the county agents in the -four
states to ascertain the amount OF
grain in the hands of the farmers and
information is being sent to every
farmer SO that he may take advantage
Of this orderly method Of marketing
made possible through the govern.
ment loan.

state, appeals to the public for more
