NOdaks Start Drills
Preparing For Bison
and Maroon Quintets

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 3O.-tR
With examinations out Of the
way, North Dakota's basketball ex-
ponents have resumed practice, al
sails set for . spanking champion.
ship gale which will blow in here
from Morninsside college, Feb. 8.
Coach C. w. Letich is not overly
pleased with what has transpired
thus far In the local bailiwick. Two
conference games won, and two
lost, he thinks, is not such q hot
showing for veteran club.
He ID in hopes Of giving Morn
insside = most interesting areu-
ment next week. Morningside's
zone defense, ably abetted by the
size and strength Of its players,
gave the Nodaks no end Of worry
ct Sioux City.
Letich Stresses Scoring
With this in mind Letich has
worked out some definite scoring
mansuvers which he believes will
enable the Flickers to cash In for
some baskets. North Dakota has
had q weeks rest now without 4
game, and next week will stretch
this to two. The lull i expected
to put . little more color into North
Dakota's teamplay, which was quite
sadly run down 1t the heels in the
last tiff with South Dakota State.
Too much emphasis ID being laid
on making baskets by not = few Of
the players, and this to the detri.
ment Of teamwork. This kind Of
tactics, Of course, will fet Nortt
Dakota nowhere. IN the State game
players in several instances wert
passed up wide open" under thu
net, while other players, intention
ally or not, heaved long, fruitles'
attempts ct the blackboard.
One Of Letich's tasks is t.
straighten out the teamwork, ant
then the Flickers can BE- dependes
upon for Z better brand Of ball. ]
is about time, too, with tho first Sc
Of the important tits with tn
Bison being scheduled at Fargo
just two weeks from this week
end.

missioner.

ing firms and others who may be

Der Of returns will be larger and

cause of improved business condi-
tions ard good crops, officials Of
the tax department said.

tional penalty of one per cent for

ried persons with an additional $500
exemption for each dependent per-
son. All unmarried persons with Z
net income Of $1,000 or more and
oil married persons with a net in.
come Of $4,000 or more are re.
quired to make q return whether Of
not they are liable for 4 tax, It wal
pointed out.
The six tax supervisors attachet
to the department have been in
structed to give every possible ait
to persons making out income e,
returns. Each supervisor will visit
all the towns and cities in his dis
trict to aid all who seek help il
making their returns. There will
be no charge for this assistance
and notices will appear In loca
newspapers as to the time the ta,
supervisor will be available to hell
taxpayers in each community.
The tax department has taken III
cue from the federal postoffice ant
is asking that taxpayers mail thei'
returns as early a. possible to re
lieve the department Of the last
minute rush which has swamped
at The close Of the income tax pay
ing period in former years.

$73,000,000 REPORTED
u. S. TRADE BALANCE

BY the Associated Press.
January exports from the United
States were SAIL 100000 and imports
we're $338,0O0,000. leaving a favorable
trade balance for the month for the
Nation of $73,000,000.
The figures, as announced today by
the Commerce Department. indicated
slight decline in the foreign trade total
for the new year, as compared with last
year. when January exports were $4l9,-
400. 900 and imports were $356.841 900.
Gold exports from the United States
for January we're $52.086,00O. offset
partially by imports of $38, 1920, 900, with
the result of decreasing the country's
gold stock by s13.766.000. While the
January outflow Of gold was much
larger than that for corresponding
months in recent years, it was consider
ably below the exports Of December and
November, indicating at least a slow
ing up in the world demand for Amer
lean monetary stocks.
January silver exports were S6,692 900,
and imports we're S6.305.000. For jan
uary last year silver exports were ST.

there were prospects Of further IN
