With the football careers of the three city high schools put to an end for '24, the athletes are turning their atten- tions towards the next conner, basket ball. Even though class football is still in the limelight, basketball will soon be getting under way for the sea son of PA. Another obstacle of the athlete is the approaching Christmas holidays, and even though practice will have to be suspended for some time, Woodlawn and Phillips intend to get going before the mid-term.
 The Junior Colonels of Woodlawn, who put out the wining cagers last sea son, are up against Old Man Time this year. Old Man Time confiscated their winning combination of the 23 sea son, leaving only the captain, Burns, star center, as a nucleus to build their team around, meaning that two for wards and two guards must be found from rough material.
 With class football occupying Coach "Robin" Hoods and Assistant Coach Kelly's minds, they have not had the opportunity to fish around for possible material, but with their athletes, Pots Levvy, Dave Griffin, Chandler, Chap pie, Nunnally, Knight, James, John AL len and many others, the vacant posi- tions should be easily fillsd.
 Ensley Starts Later
 The Yellow Jackets, after their vic torious season on the grid, have an nounced their intentions not to start basketball practice until after the holi. days. Just what Coach Whites plan is in not starting practice on equal footing with the other schools is not known, but it is known that he in tends to get busy right after Christmas and get his cagers into form.
 While the Ensleyites did not make such good showing last season, they are expected to blossom forth this year as they did in football, and naturally give the other two schools run for their money. Out at Ensley, as at Woolawn, they are counting great

EASTERN CLAN
 IS VICTORIOUS
All-Star Western Eleven Barely
 Misses Tie Game

CLEVELAND, Dec. 6-An all-star eastern college football team defeated an all-star western eleven today by a score of 13 to 12, in a game staged by the Big Ten club to provide funds for the hoped for Cleveland stadium. The crowd was disappointingly small.
 IL was real football game-a con- test that ended with fourth period packed full of thrills. Though the east seemed to have the edge all the way, the west nearly won the game by bril- liant spurt in the last period.
 Nardacci. the little West Virginia halfback, made both touchdowns for the east. Aubrey Devine, the former Iowa quarterback. made both for the west. Provost, of Pennsylvania State, place kicked once for the point that de cided the victory The other three at ,empts at point after touchdown were blocked.

ENSLEY BEATS PRATT

X driving finish failed to score for Pratt City and Ensley emerged winner at the end of great contest Saturday, two goals to one. Had Pratt City had an even break in luck, spectators de- clared, the score might have been tied in the closing minutes of the game.
 Three players were star performers for Ensley, namely: Center Half Miller, Inside Right Bishop and Outside Right Finlay. These three carried the brunt of the offensive for Ensley.
 For Pratt City the performance of Toots Brandon, former Baron baseball player, was said to be one of the best exhibitions of goal keeping seen in the league this year. In addition to Bran don, Outside Left Elmore played a great game for Pratt City.

cular period. One of the outstanding
features was the interest taken by
farmers, who made individual dis
plays of horticultural products, vege-
tables, grains and seeds, and in many
instances rural communities dubbed
together in making displays.
AS result of the exposition a
greatly increased demand for local
products is claimed by exhibitors,
and there is now in course of promo
ton, canning factory and a pack
ing plant, while a cereal manufac-
turer cannot supply his increased
orders and will be under the neces-
sity of adding to the capacity of
his plant.
Keeps Money at Home
Flathead county is sold to the
"home products" idea. as it was
found that it helps to keep the money
circulating among the people at home
instead of sending it to the large
manufacturing centers, which pay no
taxes in Montana, and do nothing
for the upbuilding of the state.
The home products exposition has
come to stay in Flathead county, and
the promoters of the idea believe that
every section of the state could profit
by holding similar exhibition, with
the necessary changes to fit the needs
of each local community. 1t is be-
lieved that the carrying out of the
idea in a statewide program would
do much to help solve the problems
of the state. Manufacturers from all
over the state will find a welcome
for their exhibits at future shows in
Flathead county, where next year it
is believed that exhibit space will
have to be arranged in the streets
during the summer months. as there
is no hall in the city adequate to
house the exhibits and the crowds.

"HOMAS D. CAMPBELL, Hardin:
bonanza farmer, who has passed
- the big farmers of Canada anc
other places where large areas are
farmed by machinery and farms
larger area than any other agricul
turist in the world, expects by 1925
to be farming $4,000 acres.
Mr.. Campbell was born in Grand
Forks, North Dakota, forty-two years
ago and ever since his childhood has
been engaged in the business of farm
| ing-principally the production OF
wheat. He, while a boy on his ia
theirs farm, conceived the idea OF
applying advanced engineering to the
production of wheat, and followed
this purpose through the time spent
on his fathers farm at Grand Forks,
during his course in college and
afterwards in California.
1t was this knowledge of power
farming that undoubtedly caused Sec
rotary Lane to ask Campbell to go to
Washington during war times and
report to him in conjunction with a
representative of the interior depart
rent, the areas of land available for
the production of wheat in the United
States as a war measure. After a
thorough investigation they reported
such areas to be in Montana Prior
to this Campbell had arranged his
affairs in order to give his time to
the government and it was first
thought best to have him go to AL
geria and raise wheat on the dry
farm method in North Africa for the
Allies, In fact, this plan was practi-
cally decided upon by Andre Tardieu,
French high commissioner in Wash
ington, and Secretary Lane, but after
some discussion in Washington, it
was thought best to raise this wheat
in the United States, where men and
gasoline were available. AS a result
of many conferences and the ap-
proval of President Wilson, Secretary
Lane asked Campbell to undertake
the development of wheat on a large
scale on Indian lands as a war meas
ure, but while there were funds
available for every other purpose,
there were no funds available for

MISSION HISTORY
OF FLATHEADS
FIRST CATHOLIC FATHERS To-
GATED WHERE RAVALLI
TOWN STANDS
Indians Helped to Build First Church
in Which There Was Not Single
Nail; the Missionaries Built the
First Flour Mill.

BY j. II. Squiers, of ST. Ignatius
In the summer of 1858 Fathers
Hockens and Menetre, missionar-
les, came to the Rocky mountains
to establish mission in the north
west. They were led through a
narrow defile of the mountains
near where the Northern Pacific
depot, RavalH, is now located. This
pass was known only to the angels
and Indians.
This led them to a beautiful spot
fringed with trees and flowers; q
mountain stream rippled through
this little oasis, which was sheltered
on all sides. Here the good fathers
built little cabin and paid their
first devotion in the great valley OF
the Flathead. From this has grown
the finest institution of its kind in
Montana and one of the best in the
northwest.
1t is bounded on the north by low
rolling hills, which flatten out and
merge into the level plain; on the
east by the great Mission range, ris-
ing 5000 feet from the valley, the
upper part nearly perpendicular
rocky, craggy range. Along the base
of this range is some partially Level
ground where are number of small
lakes. Elizabeth lake and Elizabeth
falls, so named by General Thomas
Francis Meagher, are located east OF
the Mission These falls are 1900
feet high. They are known to tour
lists over the whole country. The
waters of them leap nearly a mile
over the mountain side. On the
southwest are somewhat large, roll
ing hills. Here the government has
a buffalo park where
ranges one of the largest herds in the
United States of these noble animals.
They can be seen grazing from the
Mission.
These missionaries built church
