AMBROSE DEFEATS
. VALLEY CITY
Dickerson Stars For Winners-Cook
And Tracy For Legionaires.

Ambrose, N. D., Feb. 22-In a close
an thrilling basketball game played
on the local floor yesterday afternoon
the Valley City Legion quint went
down to defeat at the hands of the
Ambrose city team. The visitors were
not shooting accurately in the first
half and secured only four field goals
while the home men were dropping in
seven, besides counting free throw.
This left the score for the half Is to
8.
Valley City made a remarkable
squirt beginning the second period,
with Cook leading the attack. Four
field counters were hung up in quick
succession and the visitors were on
the long end of 16 to Is tally. At
this point Dickerson and Fenton for
the locals began to find the basket
and with four additional field goals
and free throw brot the count up to
"a. Tracy also counted twice from
the field for the visitors in this period
and they reached the 20 mark.

AN APPEAL
FOR CLOTHING

We appeal to the generous people
of Barnes County, whether members
of the Red Cross or not, to donate
clothing to be sent to men, women
and children in western North Dako
ia counties where much destitution
exists. Few know or realize how bad
ly clothes are needed, among the suf-
fererso being little children, many of
whom for this reason are unable to
attend school.
Reports reach us that food is not
lacking so much as clothes, though
some are undernourished from lack of
foods necessary for balanced ration
But many people are suffering for
lack of clothing, and they will need
spring and summer clothing as badly,
possibly worse, than they now need
winter clothing, for they are without
money and credit cannot be obtained.
The sufferers have made a heroic
struggle and those of their neighbors
in towns and country in more pros
porous circumstances have distributed
generously in food, fuel and clothing,
to those in distress; but NOW THE
APPEAL COMES TO US for aid in
the matter of clothes and we are con-
fident that this appeal will not be
made in vain. The people of Barnes
County NEVER FAIL when called to
aid worthy purpose.
Whoever gives promptly in such
an emergency gives twice, so be very
prompt as we'll as generous. The
clothes should be delivered or shipped
to Barnes County Chapter, American
Red Cross, Valley City, under the
First National Bank, where Assistant
Secretary J. J. Dalton is in charge.
His phone number is 568. The rail-
roads will carry the shipments free
of charge and the distribution to the
needy ones will be made without cost
through the Red Cross organization.
Barnes County Chapter, A. r. G.
las T Farley. Chairman.

GREEN DEFEATS
S. 7. E. RESERVES
One Team Composed OF Two Sets OF
Brothers. S. T. G. Loses 20 To
Is.

We omitted to mention yesterday
that the fast Green Township crew
defeated the college reserves in the
preliminary game Monday evening.
The visitors started the scoring
early in the game with three free
throws. The reserves came back
with number Of field baskets in
quick succession which gave them
nice lead. Due to the fact that sew
eral substitutes were put in for the
reserves the visitors began scoring
with field baskets and in short time
had tied the score. The game was
anybody's from this on until the last
few minutes of play when the visitors
registered two field goals and one
field basket which gave them lead
of five points. There was no more
scoring from this point on and the
final score ended 20 to Is with the
Green township boys on the long end
of the score.
The game was fast one from whis
tie to whistle. The teachers seemed
to be unable to find the basket in this
game. Try as they would the ball
would roll around the hoop and then
off without going through. One main
feature Of the game was the fact that
the reserve, team was composed of two
sets of br bthers during the greater
part of the game-two Davidsons and
three Mofi;itts.
The Grten boys are determined to
bring hor'e the bacon from the coun-
ty tournament and should they play
ball as they did Monday evening they
ought not have much trouble getting
it.

FAST LOCAL QUlNT
WINS FROM MANDAN
Mandan Crew Easily Defeated BY Lo.
Gals In Last Game OF The Season

In a fast game on the local floor
Saturday night the local high school
ouint had little trouble in taking the
long end of, % to IS score from the
fast Mandan five. Although the game
was fast throughout, the locals out
played their opponents in every stage
of the game. The locals played the
short pass game, while the visitors
seemed to be playing the long shot
game, taking many shots from diff
cult angles. The end of the first half
ended 10 to 16 with the locals on the
long end of the score.
Although the second half was much
slower, the locals kept up their shoot
ing ability and not once during the
whole game did the visitors come with
in four or five points of tieing the
score. Wertin and Ford seemed to
be the main point getters for the To-
calls. The game Saturday night mark
ed the close of the season for the To-
Gals. They are now preparing TOR
the district tournament which will be
held at jamestown March 10 and IL.
The state tournament will be held in
Fargo March "a and 25.
Second Team Wins
" A preliminary game was staged
between the fast second team of the
high school and the Green township
five. The Green boys seemed to be
out of form due to the fact that one
of their regular guards was out Of

final score of this game was 80 to 16'

FINANCES FOR
CLUB ASSURED
Baseball Meeting In Sioux Falls Post
p0ned Until March First On Ac-
count of Bad Weather.

We are assured by J. H. Sampson
that Valley City will have Dakota
League baseball club for the 1922
season. He says that, while there are
many business men in the city whom
he has not yet seen, he has collected
about $4,000 in cash and about the
same amount in postdated checks. He
is confident that the citizens will
give him sufficient support to enable
him to raise the necessary $500
which has to be placed with the league
head as guarantee of good faith.
There was to have been a meeting
at Sioux Falls on the 25th for the
final formation of the league but,
owing to the bad weather, this has
been postponed and will likely be held
on March First or Second.
The following clipping from the
Wahpeton Globe tells how the guar
antee money is raised for the Wah
peton-B club:
1t was decided to start the sale of
season tickets and the raising of the
guarantee at once. A new plan will
be used this season which it is thought
will prove much more satisfactory
than that used last year. Business
men will be asked for $1O0, $50 of
which will be put up as guarantee.
The remaining $40 will be for the
purchase of tickets, which will entl-
tie the holder to so admission tickets
and so grandstand tickets, including
war tax. The guarantee will be used
merely as such and may be returned
in full or in part at the close of the
season, depending entirely upon the
success or failure of the season from
a financial standpoint. The payments
will be, $25 down and $25 month
until paid in full.
Another meeting of the directors
will be held at noon on Monday, Feb
iuoly SIi.
Manager y, Roy Patterson has sent
out contracts to more than 20 play
ers. All men who played here last
season with the exception of Lind
berg, Handler and Mason will receive
contracts. Handler is now the prop
erty of the St. Joe club in the west
ern league. Lindberg of the Minneap-
oils American association and Mason
will be given a tryout with St. Joe.
1t is possible that Lindberg and Ma
son may again be in the W.-B. uni
form, providing they do not make the
teams they are trying out with. No
players who played here last season
can play in any other club of organ
lied baseball without.first receiving a
release from the local club.

Some Already Paid

Some of the banks Of the state have
already paid in their 1920 assess
ments. Others refused to pay, await
ing the decision of the supreme court
on the test case. Those banks which
have paid have rebate coming, for
their proportionate share of the tax
es which the supreme court now holds
was illegally assessed.
In deciding the case, the tax legis-
lation of North Dakota, as far as it
applies to moneys and credits is pre-
sented and this historical statement
shows where the state legislature has
desired to tax bank stocks and bonds
at diferefnt rate than other stocks
and bonds, it has specifically named
the bank paper.
"This impels us to the conclusion"
declares the opinion, "that the legis-
lature has in fact exempted all stock,
including bank stock, from all taxa
