Legionaires Trim Morris

The Sank Centre Legionaire basket
ball team added another scalp to their
belt Tuesday evening when they took
the fast independent team from Nor
ris into camp by score of 20 to IA.
At the proceeding game the locals
began to hit their stride and in Tues
day evenings contest they put up as
finished an exhibition of basketball as
one would wish for. While every
man on the team is playing a stellar
game-the kind that has made the
Legionaire team of this city famous
no man in the organization has
shown the improvement of Frank
O'Gara, and the work of his brother
Dewey is not far behind. In other
years if Dewey made one basket in a
season that was all that was expected
of him, but in the last two games
both Frank and Dewey O'Gara have
scored their full share of baskets.
Frank is out playing his man at
center all the time and Dewey is COM
pletely smothering his opponent. Be-
cause of their regulations forwards
Donald Hanson and DIR. Gales are
very heavily guarded and they are
in luck to get a reasonable shot at
the basket. Any man that is pitted
against Lawrence Dolson is out OF
luck. He guards close and hard; his
floor work completely bewilders the
opposition. DIR. j. A. Dubois ref
cred Tuesdays game and worked off
about "a pounds of superfous aver
dupois in an attempt to follow the
fast work of both teams. He was
master of the situation at all times
and gave general satisfaction.
The Morris team play a hard and
fast game. Their man Hetherington,
at center, plays a whale of a game
on the floor. He shot three of the
six baskets made by Morris, all OF
them from the center of the field and
at least two of them from a difficult
angle. The score at the end of the
first quarter was Sank Centre 2,
Morris o., The half ended with Sank
Centre II, Morris s.; the final scose
being, 20 to ID.
The following is summary Of the
game:

OBITUARY

Word was received recently by
Gunther Hillerud of the death of his
cousin Warren Hillerud, which oc.
Cured at Oakville, Canada, Tuesday
Dec. IL, 1923, at the age of "a
years.
Warren Hillerud was born at Fer
gus Falls, Mimi, and was the son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. M. Hillerud. Mr.. M /.
Hillerud was a Norwegian Methodist
Episcopal minister at Fergus Falls at
the time Warren was born. When
Gunther Hillerud entered into the
hardware business in Sank Centre his
Uncle M. Hillerud was associated
with him for the first two years and
the family lived in this city during
that time, later removing to Canada,
where they have since resided.
The deceasd was vocalist of con-
sidrable ability, singing in churches,
at other public gatherings and for
records for the Red Seal Record Com
pany.
The immediate relatives left to
mour in this community were Mrs. S.
C. Bjone, now deceased, and Gunthe,
Hillerud, cousins Of the deceased
gentleman, and their families.
An obituary notice, taken from the
Oakville Record, follows:
Much sorrow is felt among the
many friends of Warren Hillerud,
former choir leader of Knox church
on account of his death which took
place in the Toronto General Hospital
Tuesday noon. An attempt had been
made to save his life by the transfus-
ion of blood from his friend Clarence
Brush, who is also well known in
Oakville, having often assisted in the
service Of praise in Knox church.
Mr.. Hillerud's last appearance in
public was on a recent Sunday when
he sang duet with Clarence Brush
in Wesley church, Toronto. Previous
to that time he had made arrange
ments to enter the hospitl for a SER
ious operation, and the duet chosen
seemed Appropriate to the occasion.
Mr.. Hillerud sang:
"But Waterman what Of the night
When sorrow and pain are mine,
And the pleasures Of life, so sweet
and bright
No longer around me shine"
And Mr.. Brush made reply:
"That night of sorrow thy soul
May surely prepare to meet,
But away shall the clouds of thy
heaviness roll.
And the morning of joy be sweet. +"
Mr.. Hillerud's home was at Clares-
holm, Alberta. He is survived by
his parents and one brother. His
mother and brother were at his bed
side during his last illness, and took
the remains home for interment in
the old home town.
The heartfelt sympathy of the
many friends in Toronto and Oakville
is extended to the bereaved in their
hour of sorrow.

The Wheat Export Plan Has
Backing Of Farm Bureau
Suggestion for Handling Surplus
Held Most Prastical Yet
Presented

Proposals to create government
machinery for handling the export
able surplus of wheat and other crops
have the unanimous support of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation.
After having given two days to con-
sideration of plans for the relief of
farmers, particularly grain growers,
the resolutions committee brought be-
fore the recent convention, held in
st. Paul, an endorsement of what is
commonly called the Wallace plan.
This came before the convention
without recommendation and was un-
animously adopted.
The plan includes the organization
of an export corporation to take the
surplus Of wheat, cotton and live
stock off the domestic market, sell it
abroad and charge against the whole
crop, any loss that may be sustained
in the effort to maintain fair price
level in this country.
1t is proposed by this method and
an effective protective tariff to raise
the~price of these commodities so they
will have a purchasing power COM
parable with that which obtained dur
ing the years 19O5-14 inclusive.
Two bodies are created under the
plan, the Agricultural Export Com
mission and the Agricultural Export
Corporation. The commission is a
supervisory body representative the
public-both producers and consum-
ers. It will determine policies. It con-
sists Of seven members, the Secretar-
les of Agriculture and Commerce,
chairman of the Tariff Commission,
and four persons to be known as COM
nissioners, one of which will be the
administrative commissioner and the
other three will be directors in the
Export Corporation. Appointment of
the Commissioners will be by the
President upon the consent of the
Senate.
The Agricultural Export Corpora
ton will be the business agency COM
posed of five members, the Secretar-
les of Agriculture and Commerce,
and three directors, managing direct
or and one other to be appointed by
the Secretary of Agriculture and one
by Commerce. It is capitalized at
5000, 100000, to be drawn from the
treasury as needed. It is given ample
authority to buy and sell here and
abroad and to enter into all necessary
business relations, but it is not the
thought back of those drafting the
bill to destroy or injure existing

OUT WHERE THE WHEAT
BEGINS
g. 1928. by Laura Miller

The secretary-treasurer Of farm
loan association in st. Paul, KAN,
doesn't properly belong in any cate
CORY Of Main Street women. For her
back yard contains 318 acres. The
work for the farm loan association,
and other work for the Big Island
school board are casual tasks while
the farm is literally the big job.
But Susie Gibbons, an orphan, who
has certainly found success by either
mans or woman's measuring tape,
has accumulated opinions that Miss
Town-Bred or Miss City-Born may
well ponder.
AS to where a girl should seek sue
cess-"depends on what kind of back
bone the girl has," Miss Gibbons says
laconically. "The real question is
whether the girl intends to make good,
not the size Of the town that hap
pens to be her home"
And as to the qualities that have
made for her own success-"keeping
perpetually busy" is one part of the
prescription. Getting along well with
people is another essential ingredient
even for a farmer, though Miss Susie
Gibbons isn't conceited enough to
claim the credit due her. Instead she
explains: II have had my housekeep-
er fifteen years. She is an angel. My
farm manager has been here seven
years. My friends are veritable Gil
braltars. 1t seems to me the chief
tribute they've paid my father-who
was the best dad on earth-has taken
the form Of watching my welfare"
But it's when she explains why she
couldn't be hauled or coaxed or driven
to life in the big city that Susie Glib
bons truly wakes eloquent. ''WellI I
don't have to wake up in the morning
and hear the pattering feet Of the
family above. No elevated trains
where humanity is packed in like
stock in Western cattle cars. No IRON
clad hour for lunch. No dictaphones
(thank the good Lord. No coming
out of an office at $50 to join IN q
mad homeward rush, with all the love-
ly day gone. No prisonlike existence
within granite walls"

D OBERT w. FRAZER obtained his
first engagement on the stage by
committing harmless forgery.
At the time he began his career in
1907, he was working in a grocery
store, but cherished a strong desire
TO be an actor. Several travellers
told him the only way to get on the
stage was to convince stock COM
pany that he already had experience.
With this in mind, Frazer had several
programs printed which included his
name, and in the same list he used
the names of Maude Adams, f. II.
Sothern and several other famous
stage players. He sent the programs
to a travelling stock company with
letter stating that he was an al

One day, while he was covered with
flour and molasses. the head of the
stock company walked in and en-
gagged him at SIS a week. However
just nine days from the time he left
the grocery shop he was back again
in charge of the -four and molasses
The following four years were filled
with repetitionS of this experience
but finally persistence won, and
Frazer found himself in New York
