PROBE OF SUGAR
SHORTAGE ASKED
IN RESOLUTION
Senator Brookhart Demands
Congress Investigate
Prices,

~ CNttcU russ
WASHINGTON. March 2.-Imme-
date congressional investigation Of
The alleged sugar Shortage" and the
recent sudden rise in sugar prices vAs
demanded in a resolution introduced
today by Senator Brookhart, Iowa.
The investigation would proceed
while Congress is not in session, under
the terms of Brookhart's resolution.
Sugar gamblers are now out to drive
the price of sugar to fifteen cents, nc
cording to a report current in we'll in
formed Government quarters here.
On Feb. 81, manipulators started
a new rumor in Wall ST., that the
Department OF Commerce was about
to issue another sugar statement
estimating the coming Cuban crop at
5000, 900 tons. The immediate effect
Of this was to drive raw sugar from
41-3 cents per pound to 51a cents.
Reputable sugar dealers who have
refralned from purchasing during the
present frenzy of speculation notified
Government officials that If this re-
port were true sugar would go 10
Is cents. The report was denied, but
sugar jumped just the same.
A new runor was ahoat to the
effect that the Cuban secretary Of
agriculture is about to issue state
ment placing the Cuban crop at about
$500, 900 tons. The lowest previous
estimate was 100000 tons and the
Department Of Commerce estimate
was 1000 900 tons.
Government officials declare that
these reports originate with manipula-
tors and that the actual sugar
situation in no way justiheg them.

That he settled any obligations he
may have been under to Miss Jennie
e. Hollenbeck. who sued him in dis
trict court April 16 for SIS, 900 dam
ages for alleged breach of promise,
when he gave her q Ford automobile,
was the answer filed Thursday in the
office of Clerk of Court Alex Rem
meas by DR.. E. v. Cabbage, also
known as DIR. E. V. Bethel DIR. Cab
bage is a dentist and oil operator at
Saco.
In his answer, the defendant states
that he never promised to marry the
plaintiff. A copy of receipt for the
car alleged to have been given the de-
fendant by the plaintiff at Saco on
November 1, 1922, is filed with the
answer. The receipt is alleged to
read:
Received of Edward v. Bethel,
formerly Edward v. Cabbage, one
Ford car, which is accepted in full
payment of any and all obligations OF
any nature whatsoever now or here
tofore existing between u.s."
The receipt bears the name of Jen-

marry her several times in 1922, and
each time he postponed the wedding.
Later, she stated, she learned that he
married another woman. AS heart
balm, Miss Hollenbek asked $4,000.

BELT WINS FIRST TWO GAMES
BEAT POWER TEAM SUNDAY
AND STOCkETT ON WEDNESDAY


The game Wednesday night, in
which the Belt team defeated the
Stockett-Sand Coulee team by score
of 2 to 0. was distinctly pitchers
battle. Only three singles had been
registered up to the last half of the
seventh when, after Culver famed,
Weir got first on an error, then Fluhr
went out on long fly to right field.
Donovan cracked out hot one which
the visitors failed to handle. Weir 60
ing to second. With two men out and
two men on, Proper came to bat. One
strike, two strikes, and then pande-
monium broke loose when Proper
caught the next one just right and
drove neat double into deep left.
When the smoke had cleared away
two runs were in and Proper was rest
ing on second.
The chief feature of the game was
the beefing of the visitors. They ap-
pear to have all been students of fam
GUS .sickers. Scarcely ball was
thrown that the umpire's decision was
not disputed. Nor was there a single
instance where any decision Of the
umpire robbed Stockett of run or
gave a run To Belt.
1t was a tight game. Stockett-
Sand Coulee hit but one ball outside
the infield. This was a drive over
second. Their other hit was little
scratch to third.
Wade was in trouble in the first
inning when Wooliscroft got to third
on series of errors. He tightened
up. however, and struck out the next
two men who whitfield six times at six
pitched balls.
The break came in Belts favor in
the seventh inning and the home team
won, there is no question about that
fact. We expect that the game win
be protested. We shall expect moth
ing else from the Sand Coulee-S Stock
EFT team all summer whenever they
lose, but in this game they were licked
and they played good ball, too.

MONTANA POWER /; BELT 4

The baseball season opened Sunday
in Cascade, Stockett and Great Falls
before good-sized crowds in spite OF
rather cold day.
The games were all good samples
of baseball skill and promise a season
of pleasure to all lovers of the ma
tional game. The grounds in the sew
eral places are not yet in first-class
condition and many of the new uni
forms which adorned the various
teams received baptism of mud
At Cascade the West Side team
took the mosquito dodgers into camp
by 13 to 6 score.
Sand Coulee-Stockett, with Fischer
in the box, beat the Court of Honor
by an to score.
In Great Falls Frank Scotten of the
Montana Power pitched the first ball
while Sheriff Bob Gordon was the
catcher.
The Great Falls grounds were short
and Zimmer of Belt and Grady of the
A. C. M. both drove the ball over the
fence for home runs.
The first game was between the A.
c. M. and w. o. w. teams and the
result was A. C. M. 8, w. o. w. 2.
The second game was the one in
which most of us are vitally interested
and brought out an aggregation of
stars such as may be expected to hold
up our end during the season provid-
ed we can secure battery as good as
the one lent us yesterday.
Westrum convinced the crowd that
he can stop anything within 10 feet
of the bag and still keep one foot on
first base. Donovan has had very
little opportunity for practice and al
though the error column credits him
with one, yet this was excusable and
his other plays prove him an invalu-
able man to he team. thinner was
there both with the stick and glove
and stole two bases. Proper played
q faultless game and showed no loss
of old time pep. Vaskey had no OPP
portunity to show what he can do in
the field but helped along with a sac
rifice. Fluhr and Culver made a cred
liable showing though not lucky with
the stick. Wade struck out eight
men and allowed only two hits which
shows that he was ably supported.
Houck as catcher held his man with
but made no errors and
will doubtless improve with practice.
A large number of rooters accom-
panied the team, most Of whom talked
with difficulty on Monday.

Belt did noble duty, but Belt played
at top speed and didn't depend alto
gether on borrowed material to win.
Zimmer's homer opened the Belt
counting and there was no more until
the fourth, when poor fielding and
two-bagger by Proper, added a pair of
runs. Pete Bross got pretty three
base clout in the last of this frame
to score the only Power run.

BE A GOOD CITIZEN


Every person. whether boy or girl
or man or woman, likes to be called /
good citizen of his or her community
And if you or l don't bear that titls

Many diseases can be prevented
One of the chief causes of scarlet and
typhoid fever is by the person drink
ing water from well improperly sit
uated too near drainage system. A
we'll should always be placed above
and not below any drainage system.
Scarlet and typhoid fever are also
caused by a person playing or living
near dirty alley lined with garbage
and rubbish cans. One of the best in
cubating places for germs and flies
is in q dirty alley or yard where gar
bage cans are left uncovered. All
garbage and rubbish cans should al
ways be covered and emptied fire.
quently. Think of the many diseases
that can be prevented tuberculosis
is often communicated by the person
splitting on the road or street. When
these germs become dry they are
blown about by the wind and spread
rapidly. There are two ways Of pre-
venting this; one Ia by the city hav-
ing a street sprinkler and having the
streets sprinkled night and morning,
housekeeping down the dust and germs.
Another is by the city having street
cuspidors to prevent people from spit
ting on the streets. These cuspidors
have constant stream Of water run
ming through them which flows on in
to the saver. Every city, however
small, should have at least one of
these and both would do no harm.
A lady lived in very shabby part
of the city and finally she decided to
move to different community. She
said she couldn't stand the shabbiness
and uncleanliness of the place any
longer.
Her neighbor, to whom she was
talking. said, IL think shall be living
in a different community very soon."
"How is that said the lady, "Are
you going to move too?"
mo" replied her neighbor, II shall
stay right where | am, but it's going
to be cleaner and better commun-
ity."
And we, like she, must feel that
Belt is going to be cleaner and bet
ter community, and not think or let
other people think like the woman
who said that she was going to move
to another place, because Of the un-
of that town.
There are many places in town that
could be made prettier. The park
could be much improved IL the weeds.
papers and all rubbish were destroyed.
How much prettier the church would
look If it had well-kept little flower
