At The Dltmas

THE Empty Cradle" the latest
release of the Truart Film Corpor-
alton, starring the famous emotional
actress, Mary Alden, and Harry 7.
Morey, will play at the Ditmas
theatre Monday.
This picture is described as a pow
erful drama dealing with men and
women.
This ~photoplay was made by Bur
ton King, the distinguished director
as an answer to the many people
who are crying that the movies are
both inane and aeinine. 1.-THE
Empty Cradle" is a faithful dramatic
study of true human thought and
action. That life is often stranger
and more romantic than the highly
colored fiction which is constantly
being offered to the public, was the
purpose OF Burton King in creating
AThe Empty Cradle"

Belt Team Is Off
To Tournament

The tournament to decide whai
teams shall represent the North Cen.
tral distict at the state basketball
tournament is on as this paper goes
to press.
Thirteen teams are competing and
while some teams stand out IN the
limelight as the result of pre-tourna-
ment performance, yet the dope may
be upset and dark horse may win.
Fort Benton appears to have the
edge with Choteau, Great Falls, Har-
lem and Big Sandy being grouped for
second place with apparently an even
breaek.
Cascade Centervilie, Shelby, Havre,
Belt, Chinook and Waller appear to
be evenly matched in the third divi-
sion.
On Thursday afternoon Belt is
slated to try conclusions with the fast
Big Sandy team and hard game may
be expected. Our boys give Big Sandy
credit for playing a fast clean game
but hope that on a neutral floor the
odds will be even.
The railroads have been asked for
reduced rates of fare and half for
tournament visitors of which there
will necessarily be more than the re-
quisite 150.
The Teton County and Chouteau
County high schools will close for the
tournament.
There will be 13 teams entered and
twenty games played to decide the
placing of teams. Great Falls as us
ual has been lucky in the drawing and
viii go straight through to the finals
unless the Teton County high school
quint upset the dope and stop them.
Jorgenson and Romney, players on
the agricultural college team, will
probably be the official referees.
The Waller and Shelby teams ar
rived in Great Falls Wednesday night,
Big Sandy, Chinook and Harlem early
this morning. The other teams will
drift in during the day.

G. N. MAY AGAIN use
CASCADE co. COAL

Resumption of use Of Cascade coun-
ty coal on the Montana division of
the Great Northern railway, is ex-
pected to be ordered within a short
time by the st. Paul offices of the
road, according to Great Falls Off
cials. No coal from this county has
been sent into the north country since
the use of local coal was suspended
about two months ago.
Five thousand tons are being used
weekly on the Butte division, and is
all taken, with the exception Of a
small tonnage at Bolton, from the
company's mine at Stockett. The Mon
tana division will require an equal
amount and will to that extent in
crease production at the Cascade
county mines.

Coulee and stockett districts have

On Saturday night the basketball
fans of Belt had real treat wher
they saw the fast yChouteau County
high school team in action against
the local high.
This team has played together for
four years and are all well-developed
men whose average weight we would
guess to be in the neighborhood Of 160
pounds, fast and well-drilled. They
are exceptional shots at the basiet
and play together like machine.
They were sufficient alibi for the
beating our boys received in football
and fans are wondering why they did
not make better showing in the
state,
Merger, the right forward, is truly
a remarkable shot at the basket and
registered many long ones which
made the audience ssisk, Harrisssss
tall son of Jack Harris, the noted cat
tleman of Highwood, was also dam
gerous at all times to the locals.
Ralph Uhl, the left forward, was a
successful feeder to the too just mem
toned. Schoonover and Ray Uhl,
guards, were there at all times and
the five-man defense of the Fort
Benton men was impervious to the To-
Gals.
The crowd were out to give the To-
calls what help they could and rode
the referee when he failed to catch
some slight infrsction Of technical
rules. The visitors played clean fast
game and few personal fouls we're
called.
The local boys were up against q.
superior team but played with grim
determination to make the best show
ing possible. Vaskey, Fish and Shir-
ley on the offensive and Spogen and
Remington as guards played above
their usual form but the long associa-
ton of the visitors had given them
technique which the. locals lacked and
their efforts were of no avail The
final score. 36 to is. shows that the
locals were in the game, as in the
previous encounter CUR boys lost Al
to 2.
Attorney Leo C. Graybill was the
and, besides refereeing an ex-
cellent game, kept his temper con- !
sistently when over-anxious home
fans sought to refegee the game for
him.
The line up follows:

We wish to extend our regards u
the Belt Valley Times and its readers
We have been in California almost 9
year now and we like it alright
The weather has been very disa-
greeable this winter as it has been
raining almost all the time. We had
snow on the ninth of February which
many of the raisin growers in the San
Joaquin valley had not seen for 16
years and for many Of the school chill
dren, it was the first now they had
ever seen. Last summer il was terri
bly, hot here, registering as high as
113 above in the shade and no wind at
ALL 1t certainly made an old Belt coal
miner look for swimming hole. How
ever, we live only short distance
from Kings river and we had lots of
fun in it in the hot weather.
We will close now and if this does
not find its way into the editorial
waste-basket, we will try it again
later.
Yours truly,

After the game the high school
girls entertained both teams and their
coaches at banquet in the domestic
science rooms, after which the school
people and the visitors danced to mu-
sic furnished by II. d. Harmon Of
Monarch until IL o'clock. The victors
were very chivalrous and assisted the
girls by drying the dishes, which act
gave our girls very high opinion of
the visiting team.
The preliminary game between the
senior and freshman girls teams was
very interesting. Usually the teams
were scrabbiing for the ball In real
girl fashion but occasionally there
were bits of team work particularly
on the part Of the seniors which
brought forth shouts of approval. ev-
en- from those who were hoping that
the freshmen would win.
Each girl played to win and if any
girl failed to do her best and then
some it escaped our notice. Mabel
Wood and Mary Hauskama were in
nearly every mixup and proved them
selves fast and unafraid while Myrtle
Skadsen, Gunhilde Skadsen and Lau-
rena Schoonover occasionally got
away from a scrimmage long enough
to puts across a nice sample of pass
ing and floor work which spelled de-
feat for the freshmen.
In the scrimmages the freshmen
seemed to have the best Of it and sew
eral times Anatosia Klimas emerged
from cluster of eager players, shook
her head to clear her eyes of mist and
shot a basket. Bernice and Billie
Stuffel were never far from the ball
or the scrimmage line while Eva 81
monis and Irma Wilson at all times
were ready to lend a helping hand.
The final score was 4 to in favor
Of the seniors.
Coach spogen refereed the game.
