EVERGREEN A. C. LOSE TO MILL RIVER TEAM The Single Men To Oppose Married Men Next Satur-
 day Night, March 1S fa'

| Local basketball fans were treated to an exhibition of first-class brand of basketball when the Evergreen A. c. lost to the fast Mill River five in a game that took two overtime periods to decide. The final score was 2S-24, Stannard scoring the win ming baskets for his team.
 The game was hot encounter from whistle to whistle and the fans were on edge all during the session. So much noise arose that the timers whistle could not be heard at the end of the regular playing time.
 Mill River jumped away to 6-1 lead in the early moments of the game but the Evergreens quickly evened matters up, witha a miraculous shot by Proper and baskets by Shook and O'Neil. The visitors scored two more points in the first half, while Canaan went ahead by five points. Score at end of first half: 13-s, in favor of the Evergreens.
 The second session was packed with furious playing, with Canaan maintaining the lead. With about three minutes to play, the Evergreens called time out. Here Baldwin re- placed Mcclure and Beaujon relieved Keenan. The score was now 21-16. Jurgenson came through with two points, and baskets by Stannard and Forrest tied the score, amid a per feet bedlam of noise. Just as the whistle blew, foul was committed by Mill River. Canaan's hopes ran high as O'Neil prepared to shoot the basket. A moment of suspense, while the ball rolled about the rim of the hoop and dropped outside.
 Anovertime period at once began. Baldwin sent the locals to the fore with hurried basket, and Mccarthy evened matters by doing likewise. Again foul was called as the whistle shrieked and again all was still as Shook toed the foul line. A heartbreaking miss and another over- time session was necessary,
 Tommy o'Neil sank a foul shct and the tie was broken, but not for long Two successive baskets hy Stannard and foul by Jurgenson set the visiting rooters mad with cheers, With eYhortatiors from the crowd urging them on, the LYerx greens fought valiantly to pull out victory. Time and agaii the ball was thrown towards the locals bas4 ket, only to ring the hoop and go for nothing. Finally, the timers whistle blew and all heaved sigh of relief. The final score was 2S-24.
 Shook and O'Neil stared for the locals, securing ten and eigh5 points respectively. J. Mcclure played like a veteran in center, but he finally lost his wind and was replaced by Baldwin, who also worked hard. Eeeaan held Stannard to two baskets snd Beaujon did the same Proper played fine brand of ba5Setbal and contributed pretty basket to the scoring. -s ..
 Stannard, Forrest and Jurgcnson were the stellar performers for Mill River, Kair and McCarth also made their presence in the lineup known, bs contributing baskets.

BARGAIN DAY WAS A
 SURPRISE TO MERCHANTS
A Large Number of Out of
 Town People Attract ed by Prices

The Canaan Merchants Bargain day, held last Saturday, was more than the word Success" conveys to the mind of the average person. It was a day of business activity in every store in this town such as has never before been seen at this time of the year which, of itself speaks volumes. X
 Not only was it a good day for local merchants, but it was good day for the buying public, who ap- parently realized from the advertis- ing that genuine bargains were being offered by merchants in some, parti- cular line and real values in every other line. This was the attraction and inasmuch as all bargain offerings were real bargains, the people realize that their confidence in the business men of this town has not been mis- placed.
 We would like to print each mer- chants opinion of what bargain day meant to him in the volume of'busi- ness transacted, but as practically all of them mean the same thing 1t can be summed up in the words: exceeded their expectations. In several stores goods were brought out in convenient places that would ordinarily consti- tute good days business, but noon found stocks depleted and still the demand was for more. One store, so we are informed, seriously con- sidered locking the doors at noon to replace goods. Other stores we are told transacted more business on Saturday than in any one day before in their history.
 Reports from all sources reveal the fact that genuine bargains must have been offered and that the honest advertising of our merchants still has pulling power not to be under estimated! When a merchant can move goods at dull season, even at cost or smaller profit than usual, it shows that the buying power of dollar is little better locally than elsewhere and that people realize the fact.

Voters who participated in

thing and that is Minnesota is
undeniably Republican and that
it is regular. too, when fit ma

hotly contested ones and also

Brook Park defeated Askov by

went down at the hands Of Gro
ningen by the same score.
Undoubtedly : little more care
in the selection Of umpir1s who
ct least mean to and want 10 b
fair and then moro abiding by the
decisions Of the arbite1 by the
players, would be : good thing
for the league. The spirit of 20
ing into . game TO win It any
cost and doing : lot Of wranglins
may be interesting to those few
players who enjoy II but il geta

the biggest "bcefers" are the

inferred that it should BE- some

Political Column

Did the recent primaries sound
the death of the state wide pri-
mary act! Advocates of the con-
vention system for the selection
of party candidates for state and
congressional offices are Of that
opinion and in substantiation of
their viewpoint call attention to
the fact that in the recent pri-
maries party voters in every i'm
stance but one gave overwhelm-
ing support to those candidates
having opposite their names the
designation Endorsed by party
convention. The one failure
was in the case of the Third

the convention candidate, by the
narrow margin of $50 votes. This
