THE Oath" the photoplay which
opens today at the Washington The
ater. Is a revelation in the art of the
motion picture. In It r. A. Walsh, who
produced and directed It for the May
flower Photoplay Corporation for dis
tribution by Associated First National
Pictures. Inc. has obtained two in
tensely dramatic effects which have
been marked by critics as being i'm
portant advances in the art OF mo-
ton picture direction.
The first is giving the audience a
distinct effect Of having witnessed
tragedy without ever showing the
actual event itself. The second scene
which Is regarded as notable is the
entire lack OF confusion in putting
over the most dramatic incident ever
shown in a motion picture. Rather
than attempt to show the effect OF the
action on the crowd that witnesses It.
Mr.. Walsh has chosen close views OF
the emotions OF the various characters

terry had narrowed down TODAY to four
men and "Miss X" mysterious and

Forces Of law tracking the murder
er OF the director have been combined
under a single head to concentrate on

today into a single mass of eeyidence
Ihomas Lee Woolwine, district at

the various agencies searching for
Taylor's slayer. All new evidence un-
earthed will be placed at his disposal
In this way the authorities hope to
forge ahead through conflicting masses
or evidence and to penetrate the maze
or mystery thrown around the killing
Of the director until they emerge on
the clear trail of the guilty person.
From today according to Woolwine,
the district attorneys Office will con-
duct a comprehensive survey of the
entire case.

reighborhood who saw a muffled man

I'll will be subpenaed by grand jury,

more completely everything they
know which may have the slightest
bearing on the mystery.
The district attorney planned to be-

names have been mentioned most
prominently in the case, not because
hey are suspects, but because of their
friendship with Taylor.

According to Otto A., Kohn, Of ST..
Peter, manager Of the Nicollet County
Telephone Company, the recent sleet
storm did more than a thousand dol
lars worth Of damage to the company S
lines. Communications were cut off
for nearly a week and real hardships
were undergone by the extra crew Of
repairmen who worked their way thru
deep snow to make temporary connec-
tions. The greater part of the damage
to the lines was done within a radius
Of twenty miles west Of st. Peter.
In the vicinity Of St. Peter the ice on
the poles and wires was an inch thick.
The sleet however, was heaviest in
Belgrade township where the {Mankato
lines were seriously crippled. Nicollet
suffered the worst. More than one and
a half miles Of poles in one stretch
were completely down and as. many as
from six to ten on the line north Of

NEW ULM GIRLS CLAIM
DISTRICT TITLE:
Undefeated 1921 = 1922.-1
Straight Vict or les.

In the last and hardest fought
basket ball game Of the year, the crack
high school girls team trimmed the
Lamberton girls 21-8 on the Lamber-
ton floor. The game was hotly con-
tested throughout. New Ulm scored
first on free throw. This was fol
lowed by field goal and a free throw
for Lamberton. The local girls sue
ceeded in pulling our score up to 8.
The quarter ended 8-8.
The last half started with rush,
but soon Lamberton was again leading.
The New Ulm girls were determined d
to win their tenth game so they played
with even more than their usual pep,
and scored two field goals and three
free throws in this period and when the
whistle blew, which ended the 3rd
quarter our team was leading 16---8.
The last quarter, Lamberton tried
desperately to score but were unable
to because ''Ochsie" and "Simm' dis
played the best fighting pep ever.
The game ended Fl --8.
Our Captain, Florence Schneider,
played consistent game and enabled
the team to place the score where it
was. Lorna Schleuder, played the
best game we have ever seen and she
seemed to be wherever the bali was.

FARM, MACHINERY PRICES
LOWER,

Prices on farm machinery 1nanufac-
tured at the State penitentiary at
Saltwater have been reduced Is to
rs per erycent to meet demands made by
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
tion.
The reduction amounts to more
than 100000 on machinery ready for
the market.
One Of the first acts Of the new Far m
Bureau Federation leaders was to con-
fer with the State Board of Control,
and insist that prices of farm machin-
cry must be reduced.
As a result Of the price reduction
made by the State prison machinery
plant, the Executive Board Of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau Federation passed
the following resolution on Feb.1:
'In view Of the price reductions
made on machinery manufactured by
the State prison, the Executive Board

farmers to buy State prison farm

WINNERS AGAIN
over LAMBERT0N
BOTH LOCAL BASKET BALL
TEAMS ANNEX ANOTHER
VICTORY. ~
CLOSE THE SEASON WITH AN
UNDEFEATED GIRLS TEAM
BOYS LOSE ONE. ~.

Friday, the third Of March both the
boys and girls basket ball teams of the
local high school defeated the basket
ball teams of the Lamberton High
school by the respective scores 1927
and 21-11. Both games were hard
fought contests and the Lamberton
boys team showed considerable inn
provement over the game they played
earlier in the season. ~-
The New Ulm boys started the game
off with rush during the first three
minutes, succeeding in running the
score up to II to 4. Due to the
changed lineup this score did not last
and the half ended with a score of
lilo.
During the second half the score al
ternated, first one side being ahead
and then the other. Schueller and
Amann were put out on personal
fouls. Franta and Lamecker were
put in their places. The defense of
the Lamberton team weakened during
the third quarter and the final score
was 1927. -u.
The lineup that was used differed
considerably from the ordinary lineup,
Schueller and Schleuder being used as
guards, Nelson as center, Amann and
Julius as forwards. The new combina-
tion worked rather we'll and it may be
expected that this is the. combination
that will be used in the district tour
nament game. Nelson as center
showed up exceedingly we'll in his first
game making six baskets. Schueller
and Schleuder played an exceedingly
good game as guards and julius sur
prised the crowd by his good basket
shooting at forward. Nelson took the
place Of Carl Fritsche who could
not go with the team on account Of
illness.

BASKET SHOOTERS
/ IN FINAL CONTEST +, 5
MUST DEFEAT TWO TEAMS AT
REDWOOD FALLS NEXT
SATURDAY.
WILL THEN BE ELIGIBLE TO
COMPETE FOR STATE
TROPHY.

Saturday of this week the district
basket ball tournament will be held
at Redwood Falls with New Ulm and
Sleepy Eye competing in the first game
which will be played at two o'clock in
the afternoon and Redwood Falls and
Marshall in the second game. The
winners in these two games will COM
pete for the district championship in
the evening game at eight o'clock.
Final District Contest.
Arrangements were made for this
final district contest in meeting held
at Sleepy Eye last Wednesday which
was attended by Supt. Gloor of New
Ulm. It was expected that Ivanhoe
would be one of the teams in the dis
trict contest but on Thursday word
was received that they would not
take part, owing to lack Of practice
and the Redwood Falls team was de-
cided upon in their place. Supt.
Gloor is making arrangements for a
special train from Mankato to Red
wood and back. He has received con-
siderable encouragement and, no doubt
will be able to work up enough enthu-
siasm to be able to provide for the
requirements. In case a special is
secured it will leave New Ulm about
ten o'clock, reaching Redwood Falls
about twelve. The greater number Of
people will, of course, come from New
Ulm and Sleepy Eye. Last year when
a basket ball special was made up they
had more than enough going to pay
for the special and hope to be able
to send as many this year. 81
Winners to Northfeld. s
The winners of the district tourna-
ment will represent the district in the
state tournament which will be held at
Mortified some time before Easter.
Because of the excellent showing made
by the New Ulm team, hopes of send
ing the boys to Mortified are high.
Only once has the New Ulm five been
defeated and that was the initial game
between New Ulm and Nicollet when
the season first opened. The Friday
night games at, Lamberton ended as
usual in victories for both girls anc
boys teams. An account Of the games
will be found elsewhere in this issue.
