Choice to Capture

GARDEN CITY, n. Y. June
20. -Roland Mackenzie, of
Washington, representing Brown

as play began here today on
the second 35 holes of the 72-

That spectacle OF co-ordiuated
effort by men, stripped to the
waist and trained down TO their
arteries in order that they might
make the supreme bid Of their
fine, young lives, is always Lew
even to old eyes that have seen it
enacted again and again with the
passing years. The man who
hasn't seen the finish of the boat
race at Poughkeepsie simply has
neglected his education.
Named in the order of their
pre-race Importance, the field in
the varsity race will be made up
OF the following:
1. The Navy; 2. California: g.
Washington; 4. Columbia; 5. Cor
nell: 6. Syracuse; z. Pennsylvania.
Experts, gibbering over their
charts. seem to have arrived at
the almost unanimous decision that
the Middies are due. If it so de.

The Navy, unbeaten this year IN
the East, is carrying most of the
bets because 1t seems to have a
fool-proof eight and a great stroke
in Tom Eddy. AS far as that
goes, the Middies nowadays never
nave a poor crew or a poor stroke
and, although Callow has been
quietly weeping on his vest over
the outlook, the same observation
applies to Washington.
The Huskies. beaten by California
on the Coast, naturally are ranked
below the latter here. but no one is
taking them for granted. even

Proposed Postal Reduction

That law not only reduced material

Sheridan Farmer Says Soil
Better For Coming Crops

Great Falls, Jan. 24.-Belief that
soil conditions in the northeast por-
ton OF the state are better than at
the same time year ago was ex-
pressed here Sunday by William
Hass OF Outlook. one of the Hass
brothers who operate approximately
$500 acres of land in that area,
Mr.. Hass stated that in the win
ter of 1925 there Was little snow
which permitted much of the soil
on farm lands to be blown away.
Snow covers virtually all of the
county at the present time, he said,
and should keep the soil in good
condition for the spring crops.
The Hass brothers have what is
believed to be the largest farming
activities 10 the northeast area and
one OF the largest In the entire state.
They put in only about one third of
their land in crop each year and
make a practice of blowing in the
summer, leaving the land idle to
collect moisture until the following
spring. Spring wheat and oats are
the principal crops. Summer fall
lowing is an absolute necessity on
much of the non-irrieated land of
the state in Mr.. Hass' opinion.
The Hass brothers came tc the
United States from Germany in
1902. The original homestead near
Outlook hass been aeded to until it
now contains 1000 acres and other
land nearby is ownen by thsm.
They thresh their own grain and
ship it direct to Minneapolis.

Not little contention is abroad
in the land over the two head-liners
billed to appear and exchange wal
lops at the Farmer-Labor Tempe

diately after the Scobey -Plentywood

contention seems to be as to who is
the better man with the mittens-
Alkali Pete of Raymond or Bennie
Moe of Archer.
The argument is booked for ten
.ounds or thereabouts, or until such
inc as one of the cOmbatants is
dis qualified for his incapacity to
procede further. Technical knock
outs will be barred and Queensberry
rules will govern most Of the time
Both battlers have q whole slough

are also scheduled for this fistic
carnival. The local Legion Post is

Just Around The Corner

Development and wealth do not
come unassisted. 1t may be just
around the corner, but some other
place will entice it away unless it is
gone after. Ii is going somewhere
and should come to Plentywood.
A city must be made attractive
to both people and capital before it
can be successfully developed. Parks
and Fairgrounds. entertainments for
diversion of mind. and the best in
churches and schools. Opportuni-
ties presented such as exceptional
musical attractions should not be
overlooked. Natural attractions
must be augmented and as long as
q city is content to remain idle
while far less advantageous places
work. development and prosperity
will ever be just around the corner
or little further away.
A better understanding and ap-
preciatiOn Of the worth to the indi-
vidual is necessary. With the re-
alization that the city's growth and
development means individuaI
growth and development, and more
and better opportunities for their
children, then will there be greater
cooperation. II is difficult to i'm
press too strongly lhe importance
of the work that is necessary to be
done.

Antelope High School
Wins Return Game

Tuesday evening Antelope played
their return game with Plentywood
at the Farmer-Labor Temple.
The Antelope and Plentywood
second teams played the prelimi-
nary game. The Antelope boys
showed much improvement in their
team work. The teams were very
evenly matched and the first half
ended without score tor either
side. The second half ended in q
tie score OF 6 to 6, meking it neces-
sars to play an extra quarter. In
This quarter Plentywood obtained
one score On free throw while
Antelope made a basket winning
the game s tot.
Following the preliminary game
the first teams took the floor. After
a brief warming up practice the
game was called by Froid's coach
why acted as referee. Antelope
obtained lead in the early part of
OF the game which they were able
TO retain throughout. In the last
quarter Plentywood staged brilliant
rally and Tor time things looked
bad for Antelope's chance of win
ing. Had the game lasted a few
more seconds it is probable that
Plentywo0d would have won. An
telope has "a excellant five star
team. we agree. but Plentyw0Od
has q team that is unbeatable in
spirit and clean playing and is
never defeated until the last whistle
blows. The final score was 16 to
IS in Antolope's favor.
1t is hoped by all basket ball fans
that they will be given another op-
to witness game be-
tween Pentywood and Antelope.
