The Great Game

Most of the residents of Mountain
Home were agreeably surprised las
Friday, when they attended the ball
game played by Mountain Home and
Nampa Some didn't seem to have a
very good opinion of our team; and
they came prepared to console and
feel sorry for the Mountain Hme
boys. But after they had seen about
three minutes of the game, they be-
gan to wonder if they weren't just a
bit mistaken.
The Nampa boys were trifle
shocked. They made an invasion in
to the field of their enemy, expect
ing an easy victory. When they saw
our team, one of them even had the
nerve to say, els this the high school
or grade team?" Maybe when the
game was finished they wondered if
it wasn't college team.
The enthusiasm and excitement
ran high as our boys made one bas-
ket after another; and as such SPLEEN
did team work was shown.
We are certainly proud of our
team, and justly so. Three of the
boys are playing their first year on
the team, and another played only
a few games last year. Only one of
our team was a regular player before
this year.
The school appreciates the coop
peration of it's patrons and friends
in helping out by their presence and
hearty cheering. A larger crowd at
tended this game than has attend
ed any games here for several years.
The gate receipts were $65.4O.
We feel everyone present received
MS moneys worth this time, and we
nope they'll come again.

On Behalf of the Student Council

On Behalf of the Student Council
We noticed in the School Sage of
last weeks Republican that Alden
Norell suggests that the Student
Council should take over the adVer-
Using of our athletic activities since
this is within our power. He says
that if this is done the team could
have better backing from the crowd
and from the athletic association.
We would suggest that Alden, as
one of the trainers of the Student
Body Constitution, heed how we OF
the Student Council see the matter
before making such decidedly de-
structive criticism OF our actions
or lack of actions. The constitution
presented by this committed was so
ridiculously inadequate that most OF
it was treated as q huge joke by Mr..
Simpson and not even fit for vote
ratifying or rejecting it and this did
not come before the Student Body at
all.
Up To- the present time the Student
Council has never seen complete
copy of this aforesaid Constitution"
and the parts read to us do not, SO
far as we can remember, contain any

New Styles

Monday morning some high schoo
boys appeared on the scene sporting
vari-colored trousers-trousers that
resembled a eros between a Spanish
Cavaliers dancing costume and a
sailor suit.
Alden's were the most daring and
gay. Lambert's were a more con-
sentative style, resembling the coun-
try gentleman type: eve know
Lambert's middle name is quietness
and conservatism
Tuesday several more boys had
succumbed to the new style.
Now boys, you may think that you
are starting something new, but you
aren't. The bell-bottom pants are
older than bobbed-hair or King Tut.
Why, that style even hit Montana a
year ago, and you know when a style
reaches Montana, its pretty aged.

Vanity Gases

Some are square, some are round,
Ablong ones are also found,
Ivory ones equipped with combs,
Are found in some young ladies
homes
Some hold rouge and powder two,
And some will hold coin or two.
Some are gold, let's call 'em brass,
And all of them contain a glass
Some are black and silvery.
All are used quite frequently.
Every girl has one or two,
Without one she could not do.
They are all the rage you see,
And also a necessity.
Her nose is very apt to shine,
But she can fix it up just fine;
If she takes her little case,
And puts some powder on her face.
Girls will fix their faces,
But what is worse by far,
Our girls have vanity cases,
But most of our boys are.

High School Athletics

The Mountain Home High School
basketball team fought it's way tc
victory in the first conference game
of the season by defeating the Nam
pa High School team 80 to %.
The game was very close, but
Mountain Home was never in dan
ger of defeat. The main feature of
the game was marked by the scrappy
and consistent playing of our flash
forward, Norell. Gray was the star
of the Nampa team, scoring five field
goals.
A large crowd attended the game
and the building was filled with
snappy high school yells urging the
team on to victory.

"Step as light as fairies on the new

In colors though many, in beauty

Where the hush of the forest, the

Holds the beauty of earth in thrall,
And where comes the birds clear

FOR THE FARMERS
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
SAYS CONDITIONS SHOULD
SHOW IMPROVEMENT
BY HENRY c. WALLACE
Secretary of Agriculture

The industry, courage and faith evil
denced by the farmers of the nation
during the past three years are slow
ly bringing their reward. Improve
ment in agricultural conditions con-
tinues-nOt as rapidly as desired or
needed, nor as rapidly as deserved,
but nevertheless it continues. The
promise of the year has been full
filled.
So we come to the end of the third
year of postwar depression with a
feeling of greater confidence born of
better times already realized and with
justified hope of still further improve
ment in 1924.
In general, the crops of 1923 were
good. Some sections in the cotton belt
and in the wheat belt suffered from
the ravages of weather and insect
pests, but the aggregate crop produc-
ton was equal to the average of the
five preceding years.
C~OHSiuSIluS HOIISy ISLuIH We 1lnu
that the values of most crops are
greater than in 1922. The total value
of all crops is II per cent greater
The values of the wheat, rye, rice
clover seed, cranberry, peach and peal
crops are below 1922; in the case Of
wheat II per cent below. The value:
of all other important crops are great
er.
1t is difficult to measure the pro
ductive value of livestock during tn,
year, dependent as it is upon crop
marketed in that form. In general, i
has been a prosperous year for sheeI
growers, fairly good for dairymer
less satisfactory for producers of hog
and discouraging for growers of rang
cattle. Cattle feeders, however, hav
done very we'll on the whole.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1924-01-09

There are discouraging conditions
still to be overcome. There is the
burden of debt. There are heavy taxes
to be met. The cost of production
and of what the farmers buy remain
high. Farmers in the spring wheat
territory especially are in sore straits
from conditions largely beyond their
control.
Experience gained during these
years of depression, however, togeth-
er with progress already made, war
rant a hopeful attitude for the COM
ing year. Gradually crop acreag is
being better adjusted. The domestic
market continues strong. The children
keep coming, and that means a stead
lily increasing number of mouths to
be fed. Those who stay by the farm
and do good farming can look for
ward to better times as a reward for
their years of toll and hardship. Those
whose businesses depend directly up
on farm purchases can find decided en-
couragement in the growing gross in
come of the farmer, for he will buy
as his income expands.
The year 1924 comes with the prom
Use of continued Improvement in the
material prosperity of the farmer, and
the farmer continues to be the ma
terial and spiritual backbone of the
nation.

FORMER BARTENDER
CAUGHT IN CANADA
DADDY" MARSHALL OF HAVRE
TO STAND TRIAL HERE
ON BANK CHARGE

Edward Marshall, of Havre, known
to his friends of pre-Volstead days
as Daddy" is in the Gallatin county
Jail in this city, in custody of Sheriff
Jim Smith, awaiting arrangement and
trial on a charge of having had in his
possession bonds stolen from the
Salesville bank last fall.
The bonds were confiscated by the
officers, among whom were W. s.
Gordon, Of the Burns Detective
agency, Sheriff Jim Smith of this
county, and others, in the arrest, sew
eral weeks ago at Havre, of eight
persons alleged to be connected in
one way or another with the bank
bandit gang having headquarters in
Havre, and against whom a total of
more than Is bank robberies in the
past two and one-half years are
charged.
According to the Burns detective
and the Bozeman sheriff, the stories
published in Montana newspapers to
the effect that Marshall had volun.
tarily surrendered, or given himself
up, are entirely without foundation
in fact, and were evidently published
at the instigation of interested part
les for the purpose Of creating {
favorable public opinion for Marshal
in the hope that he will be ~lenientl,
dealt with in case he consents to max,
a public confession of his connection
with the bank robberies and the mem
bers Of the gang.
The facts about Marshalrs aIlege,
surrender" are that upon his promis4
to remain in Havre until he wa
wanted to testify in the trials agains
the men who are alleged TO have ac
tually committed the burglary, he wa
released upon his W re~cognizance
Instead of staying in Havre where tn
officers could reach him and get hir
TO help piece together the variou
links of evidence which were beini
collected against the members of tn
gang, he beat it for parts unknown.
After several weeks of intensiv
Investigation and clever detectiv
work on the part of Detective Gordon
Marshall was finally located severs
weeks ago in an almost inaceessibl
hiding place in the Csnadiea Rock
nouHtsins- He vas left alone, how
ever, snsl waxtsa, but the Csnadia
