LEGION TEAM
WORKING HARD
Strenuous Practice Every Evening to
Prepare for Hard Games
Scheduled

It is seldom that an Independent
basketball team goes to any great ef
fort in getting in good physical con-
dition for their games, preferring to
take things little easier and trust
ing to luck in getting the breaks Of
the game to get the long end of the
score. Our local Legion team do not
believe in this principle however, and
are working hard every night to get
in trim for the coming season. Our
local boys plan on capturing the in
dependent basketball championship
this season, but they prefer to earn
it even though it does mean lot of
hard work, Consequently the boys
may be found any night practicing,
either at the High School of State
Teachers College gymnasiums, and
going through some strenuous work.
outs. The result Of this work is be-
ing noticed by the fans in their games
it being noted that this intensive
training and signal practice tends to
make their team work move like
clockwork-it runs so smoothly that
it is bewildering to their opponents
and obtains for them some seemingly
easy field goals.
The Legion management announces
that the final arrangements have
been made for the appearance Of the
Minot Legion quint here on January
80 and 81. A game has been ar
ranged with the fast K. C. quint of
Fargo for the 18th of January. This
should be one of the fastest games of
the season as the Fargo five are all
good men who have had a great deal
of basketball experience. In any
games which they have played this
year they, have shown themselves to
be among the fastest of teams in the
state and are of sufficient calibre to
give the locals a good game.
Valley City is lucky in having an
organization capable Of turning out
a team better than any team in the
state and the fans should show their
appreciation Of their efforts by CIV
ing them the most liberal support Of
in all their games.

enjoyment. Following the program

A lot of people cuss the North Da-
kota winters, and then there are a
few who bless them. There is one
crop that we are always sure of and
that is the ice crop. There are sew
eral ice companies putting up ice here
now and furnishing employment for
35 to 40 men who would otherwise be
idle. Sivert Halvorsen is putting up
ice at the east end of fourth street
and has a crew of several men busy.
The scene of their activities is de-
cidedly busy one. Omund Jacobson
has his years supply Of ice to put up
and Ed. Wyttenbach always ships sew
eral carloads of ice to outside points.
In a year such as this, when winter
work is scarce and there are lots Of
idle men, this industry is quite re-
lief to the unemployment situation.

The swamp through which the search is being made is about eight miles from the spot where the young woman was at tackled.
 The negro's attack was beaten off by the woman, who used a knife with which she had been cutting broom grass. It was at this stage of the fight that the negro produced a bot tie of gasoline and poured it over her clothing. She wrenched loose from his grip and jumped into a slough. The negro fled at the ap- proach of a negro farm hand who appeared suddenly. Five hundred men and boys joined the posse hasti- ly formed last night, and their number was steadily swelled through this morning Save for a temporary col lapse after she had been rescued, the young woman was none the worse for the experience.

Washington, March 15,-Further attempts to amend the four-power Pacific treaty so that nations non signatory to the agreement would be called into consultation in the event of controversy, were renewed by sen ate Democrats today despite the de- feat of two amendments along the same line yesterday.
 Senator Robinson of Arkansas was author of the first Pacific treaty amendment defeated in the senate, the vote being mainly along party lines. His amendment provided that should controversy arise over Pa citic matters, signatory nations should call into conference all other nations affected by the dispute, regardless of whether they signed or did not sign the treaty. Later the amendment was slightly revised and introduced by Senator Walsh of Montana and was rejected by approximately the same vote.
