OPPONENTS WANT
BONUS POSTPONED
Sec. Mellon Said To Be Against Pres
ent Plans. Opponents Endeavor
TO Win President.

Washington, March 7-Opponents
of the bonus bill in congress were
seeking to have President Harding
oppose the new bonus insurance loan
bill framed after much effort by the
republicans of the house ways and
means committee. They claim the
plan of having the bank loan up to
fifty per cent of the proposed SER
vice mans certificate will interfere
with the nations financial system
and urged the President to stand by
his previous decision that the bonus
must be postponed unless paid by
the sales tax. Secretary of the Treas
ure Mellon, according to reliable in
formation, is opposed to the loan fea-
ture of the plan for the same reason
as those advanced by the opponents
in congress and may present his
views to President Harding at the
cabinet meeting today. Republicans
failed in their efforts to have the SOL
diers bonus bill introduced in the
house today. The republican subcom-
mittee, it is known, took several un-
successful votes on altering the meas
ure. These votes were understood to
have been on the subject Of dropping
options from the measure and leaving
it chiefly confined to the insurance
certificates with loan value there
on and cash payments for those whose
due is not above $50.

HOW LENT SHOULD
Be OBSERVED

Lent should not be morbid OF
negative time. There are those, who
feel that Lent is only time for Civ
ing up this or that habit. or indul-
gence, and who put nothing in its
place. The athlete disciplines him
self down to constructive essentials
A man spiritually in earnest goes in
to spiritual training. He examines
himself. He may not be bad man.
His neighbors may speak well OF him
Yet, he has not an entirely vital splr-
itual constitution. He is none too Wig
orous of conviction. He ought to
have faith of his own. He has
thought little about such a thing as
sin or the significance of Jesus OF
Nazareth in his business problems or
on the possibility of beginning to live
eternal life here and now, and what
it practically means and practice ii
will take to grow in, spiritual way:
Lent iS here. It is time for US to
give religion the right of way. Clear
other things of minor Importance out
of the thoroughfore. Don't trifle.
Be efficient. Eliminate non-essen-
tials and competitive interests from
YOUR central resolution. Find out
your spiritual stock in trade and what
is really your own. We must think
of the gains of Lent; not it's denials.

BARNES COUNTY
TOURNEY ENDS
Several Exciting Games During Tour
nament Which Ends With
Grand Prairie Boys Winner In
The County.

The Barnes County tournament was
finished last night when the Grand
Prairie boys defeated the Valley City
Seconds on the local floor by score
of 22 to IA in the final game of the
tournament T."
1t was hard fought game and at
times the Valley City quint led the
visitors in the scoring, but the farm
ers came back strong and outpointed
the locals with some clever field shots
that registered and put them in the
lead, which they held until the end
of the game.
The Grand Prairie team has been
going strong all season and have
played on the local floor several
times during the winter. The High
School boys were confident of win
ming but spectators who had seen the
two teams in action were not so sure
of the outcome and great deal of
interest was displayed in the final
game. The Grand Prairie boys have
developed a fast team and won last
night on their superior ability as bas
ketball players. The locals have no
alibi other than the fact that they
couldn't play fast enough to keep up
to the farm boys.
The Grand Prairie girls team play
ed the girls team from Nome last
night and lost by wide margin of
IA to 7. This was little too one
sided to be real game. Miss He'll
ner of the local High school offic-
lated in the girls game. Coach Hurst
of the College and E. II. Mcfarland
officated in the boys game.
The Grand Prairie boys were pre-
sented with the cup donated for the
winners by the Peoples Opinion. This
cup is dandy and is we'll worth the
effort required to win it. If the
Grand Prairie boys can retain the
championship of the county for two
consecutive seasons they will acquire
permanent possession of the cup.

THEFAIR MAKES
MANY CHANGES
Carl J. Olson, Progressive Fair Store
Proprietor, Arranges Fair Store
For Convenience OF Patrons.

Carl J. Olson believes in having an
up to date store and having it ar
ranged for the convenience of his
many patrons. It takes considerable
time and experience to get the diff
ferent departments into the best ar
rangement but Mr.. Olson feels that
he now knows what his customers
want in the way of arrangement and
has remodeled his store to conform
to those wants.
Mr.. Olson has placed several new
counters in his basement store and
moved the old ones into more ad-
vantageous arrangement, making it
much easier for his customers to
find the articles which they want and
consequently speeding up the service
in this department.
On the first floor Mr.. Olson has
added a number Of new fixtures Of
the highest quality and has rear
ranged the entire floor in such man
ner as to speed up his already effic-
lent service. The various depart
ments have been arranged to add tt
the convenience of the store and the
goods are displayed much more ad'
vantageously.
The balcony has been changed, the
stairway in the center being remov-
ed and that opening closed. There
are now two stairways leading to the
department, one at each end. The
balcony has been enlarged and ex-
tends about a third the length of the
store on each side, giving a great
deal of additional space to the de-
partment. The extensions are being
stained to conform to the rest of the
store.
Mr.. Olson reports that his business
has been steadily increasing which is

COLLEGE WINS
FROM M00RHEAD
Will Complete Their Schedule With
Trip To South Dakota This Week

The local State Teachers College
played the Moorhead State Teachers
College on the local floor Saturday
evening and took them into camp to
the tune of 26 to II.
In one Of the fastest games of the
season the locals redeemed themselves
by taking the long end Of the score
after beng beaten on the Moorhead
floor the first of the week.. The
game in Moorhead resulted in loss
for the locals by the score of 20 to
II. The locals feel that they have
redeemed themselves by turning the
score around and adding a few count
ers to it in their favor.
The game was fast with the locals
outpointing the visitors, both in bas-
ket shooting and in team and floor
work. Noltimier, Bublitz and Lar
son were the heavy basket shooters
for the locals. Much favorable COM
ment has been heard on the work of
Noltimier for the evening, his floor
work having improved until he is one
of the strong men of the team.
The College five left for Aberdeen
yesterday afternoon where they will
play tonight. From Aberdeen they
go to Eureka for a game on Tuesday
night and to Glendale for a game
Wednesday night. These games will
complete their schedule for the sea-
son.
If the college boys show the class

Chicago, March 6-Louise Kiener
IL years old Evansville, Ind, girl was

Description of Girl
II believe my niece was kidnapped
and sold into slavery by that wo-
man., Kiener said. "Louise was five
feet tall, weight about 120 pounds,
gray eyes, auburn hair, small mouth,
dimpled chin and talked with slight
lisp. I had intended to meet her at
the train but was few minutes late
in arriving at the station and could
not find her. l did not notify the
police for several hours believing
she would show up at our house as
she had our address. Trainmen re-
called talking with the girl as they
entered Chicago"

MARINES ISSUES ~
DIGEST OF LAWS

With the fate of the bonus upper
most in the minds of eX-service men
the Marine Corps recruiting service
has prepared an attractive folder
that contains a digest of the bonus
situation in each state as it applies
solely to the acts of the state legis-
latures. Through the cooperation of
recruiting officers with state offic-
ials the status of each state in re-
CARDS to any bonus plan adopted, the
methods and amounts Of compensa-
tion provisions for disabled soldiers
land grants, educational provisions
and any other measures that have be
come effective or may be pending
was compiled to the beginning of
February.
The cooperation of the state offic
ials of both the American Legion and
the Veterans of Foreign Wars has
also been enlisted by the recruiting
service for liberal distribution of
the folder to the posts of those or
ganizations. The title of the folder:
What the States are Doing for the
Ex-Service Man, is self explanatory
and study of what the states have
done will show a surprising attention
to the welfare of their sons who serv
ed with the colors.

on their farm five miles northwes
of the city. AS guests they had Mes
DANES Chas. Peterson, L. S. B. Ritch
lie, Burl Carr, VIM. Moore, E. R. Rob
erts, Roy Kernkamp, and Knutt
Froysaa. A dandy dinner was serv.
ed and most enjoyable time had by
all present. E~.
Jack Aldrich was called to bring
the ladies back to the city and came
out with three seated sleigh. This
sleigh looked rather light for the size
of the party but the ladies decided tc
take chance and started back with
him. ..,, ...
Eight people in three scatter make
it little crowded but they got along
alright until Mrs. Chas. Peterson lost
her grip and left the party, without
notice. She was found in quiet re-
pose in several inches of snow and
slush and the combined efforts of the
ladies and Jack returned her to the
vacant place in the sleigh, without
the aid of any mechanical hoist. This
in itself was some feat. .
The party continued on their way
without any untoward incident until
they reached the Heimes hill. Here
the sleigh evidently felt that it had
done it's duty and decided to 60 on
strike. In order to make the strike
effective it collapsed, leaving the lad
les afoot about a mile from home.
Mrs. Will Moore, evidently having
been in the country before, wore rub
Der boots. The others did not. And
the walking was not the best as there
was several inches of snow, slush and
mud on the road to town. However,
they arrived at their homes in due
time, little the worse for wear but
feeling that they had filled the day
nicely, although not comfortably:
The ladies are unanimous in their
assertions that light three seated
sleigh is not the proper conveyance
for such party,-they favor heavy
farm sled when the roads will not
permit the use Of automobiles.
We might add that Jack Aldrich
enjoyed the afternoon, stating that
it was the most enjoyable ride he has
had for some time. It took him about
five hours to make the trip and see
ing that he was the cause of having
the ladies walk part way we do not
believe he will have the gall to pre-
sent any bill for that alleged sleigh

Candidates For Park Board
Circulating Petitions

A year or more ago great big
mass meeting was held in the city
hall in this city to voice disapproval
Of the attempted purchase by the
park board of another park at a cost
of several thousand dollars as the
first expense in securing this land
which had been deemed unnecessary
at this time. The park board did
not take kindly to the wishes Of the
tax payers and the tax payers are
not taking kindly to the park board
as consequence. They feel at this
time that we do not need any more
parks and that if we provide enough
revenue to properly take care of
those we have and provide the neces-
sary improvements, that is all that is
required at this time. The time has
come when we must conserve in our
expenditures instead of expand and
the big idea is to cut down taxation
instead of putting more on the peo-
pie of the city. In order to do this
we must have a park board that will
bear these things in mind and pay
some attention to what the people
want-for the people are after all
the sovereign rulers Of our city and
a majority should and will rule. We
have an election coming next month
