P'WOOD CITY TEAM
WINS ROYAL BATTLE
Take Tough Game from Homestead
Players In Fast ExhibitiOn-Small
Crowd In Attendance.

The Plentywood City Basketball
team added another trophy to it's
long list of victories Wednesday ev-
ening when they won from the fast
Homestead team in an exciting ex-
hibition.
The game was nobody's victory
until the whistle ended the struggle.
Homestead put up grand battle and
played in hard luck in shooting, while
the Plentywood boys made several
spectacular baskets and seemed to
be in good favor with dame Luck.
The first quarter was very fast,
but the Plentywood team got the
jump on the Homestead boys, and be-
fore the Homestead team could stop
the rush, the score was Z to 2.
In the second quarter, Homestead
stepped out and as the whistle blew
was on the long end of the score by
points of to 6.
After a rest during the half inter
mission, Plentywood again seemed to
overwhelm the Homestead men anC
shot 4 baskets while the boys from
the south drew a goose egg.
But In the last quarter Homestead
came back with a rush and after
some fast playing the quarter ended
with Homestead leading by 7 points
to 2.
The final score was 23 to II, anc
was one Of the best exhibitions seer
on the floor in clean play and gooC
craftsmanship.
The City Teams games have no
been patronized as we'll as the,
should be, in accordance with tn
brand of basketball which they ar
showing. Some of this is due to tn
fact that lack of time does not Civ
ample provision for letting the pub
lie know about the games, but tn
Plentywood public is losing a chanc
to see some mighty good exhibition
when they are not present. The Cit
team this season is putting up som
great battles and are upholding tn
Plentywood standard of putting OF
champions in all lines of sport. TIL
public should not forget that prope
backing is half the game and attent
ance is the surest way of provin
that you are giving your support
your home aggregation.

Biologists who have looked over

Among those who have been Sc

new BRIDGE TO Be
BUILT AT WOLF POINT

Wolf Point.-The people of Wolf
Point and the country south of the
river are elated over the fact that
there will in the near future be a
large drive bridge across the Mis-

interest that the farmers as well as
the business men look forward to its
completion which will take about a

nCTOBER was the eighth month

name from the Latin word Octo, eight.
and contraction of Imber, meaning a.
shower of rain. In the Alban calendar
of early Roman times the month con.
tanned 80 days. but after several alter.
ations Augustus Caesar fixed the num-
ber at 81, which remained unchanged.
Allegorical paintings on ancient
Saxon calendars depict October as a
husbandman planting corn in allusion
to the practice of sowing the Winter
grain in October. In more modern
paintings October Is represented by a
man clothed in a garment the color
OF Autumn leaves, crowned with a
garland of oak branches and acorns
and holding a scorpion in his right
hand. The presence of the scorpion

sun on the % of the month) in these
paintings is in keeping with the old
belief that this reptile is expressive
OF the growing power of cold over
heat.
The story Of October would not be
complete without mention of the
festivals held at this season of the
year in honor OF Ceres, the Roman
goddess Of agriculture. Ceres was
known as Earth Mother and the fields
and their crops were thought to be
under her special care. 1t was be-
cause of her close association with
the grain that the word cereals" a
modification of her name, came to be
general term for wheat, barley, rye

times, the soil was prepared by means
