LOSES
 ID OLD TIMERS C. ]. H. s. Teachers Make Sorry Showing on Court

The c. J. H. 8. faculty basketball team explained by s. M. Brewster has been clamoring for game with team composed of the managers of tho Industrial league teams, for the past two or three weeks and a game was to have been played on the Y gym last night at 6.SO.
 The Industrial league managers however, held conference on the matter yesterday noon and all de- cided that the snow was too deep to attempt to get to the Y. M. c. A. last night. The only manager who was on deck at the appointed time for the game, was Doc. Murdock of the Stanley Rule and Level Co. Hats off to Doc,
 Brewster's team arrived promptly. Rather than disappopt the teachers, Joe Hergstrom, physical direetor brushed around through the Y and managed to pick up team of "old timers to go against the Teachers team. His team was composed of the following old timers: Billy Greenstein. Stevie Dudack, Doc Murdock, M. Michaeis and J. Herg- strom.
 Brewster's team had the following players: Brewster, Zeigler, Nixon. Gritzmacher aDd Cleary.
 Tho game started off with a bang and the "old timers" were only able to get 25 points, when suddenly there was a mighty roar from the spectators. Brewster had made a | basket!
 After the excitement and noise had calmed down, the game got go- ing again and things were running along nicely until Nixon asked for a | short rest to find his wind which he had lost durig the first five minutes of play. He lost his wind four times during the remainder of the game and the last time he couldn't find it again. &
 At one stage of this exciting game, Brewster got bawled up and took five shots at the "old timers basket but he missed them all.
 Cleary, playing center for the teachers, was the shining light foi his team. He took 43 shots at the basket and made everyone of then excepting the 42 which he missed Zeigler and Gritzmatcher also played in this game and they appreciated every rest that Nixon had to take. All in all it was a good game ant everybody had a good time.

Another appropriation of 81 1000 for

"Inasmuch as the state was led into
the operation and maintenance Of
this suhstation in order to serve the
reclamation service in the way OF
experimental information, etc, it
would seem to me not unreasonable
to point out to the federal govern
ment the further fact that during
this period, up to July l, 1925, the
state government had appropriated
sol .666 for the support Of this sub

year for maintenance Of substa-
tion, of which, however, over S40,-
600 came from the sale of products
from the experiment station.
Average Of 5000 a Year
"Inasmuch as the $9l,666 covered
state appropriations for maintenance
of the station for period of lS
years. this means that the state put
in just $4,000 a year on an average
in this work. This was done for the
United States government. Now it
happens that the U. S. government
has millions and millions of dollars
in it's reclamation and irrigation
work. The mere fact that it made
a mistake in undertaking the con-
struction of this enterprise and then
decided to abandon it should not be
held against this state or the cxpcri-
ment station. 1t seems to me that
since the state had contributed this
S91 ,666 that it would be a perfectly
reasonable proposal that the federal

you want to transfer funds, send your
check as county treasurer from your
local bank to the Bank of North Da-
k"ta for deposit. The Bank of North
Dakota is in the same position as
local banks. 1t only accepts checks
or other items for collection. If your
local bank should fail to pay the
check your county would be held re-
sponsible and the Bank Of North Da-
kota would not as the latter only
took your check for collection.
"In turn, if you want to pay any
thing to the state treasurer. you can
draw cheek on the Bank Of North
Dakota and the state treasurer will
accept this check for any amount you
make it, provided you have the money
in the Bank of North Dakota to cover.
But by all means use your local bank
as clearing house for your items
instead Of sending them here to Bis
marck and having them filter out
through the different avenues before
it is known whether or not they arc
good.
Bonds Cover Deposits
"Of course you have bond up and
the local bank you do business with
has a bond covering your average de-
posit. In order to play safe with the
bonding company never exceed this
amount but transfer your funds by
giving your check as treasurer. have
it deposited with the Bank of North

clear before you increase your de-
posit with the local bank

to buy drafts if you will handle the
situation as outlined. and this method
Of doing business will get your local
