that no effort had been spared by
each side to make the flags safe
from opponents. each side lost its
flag in few moments and that
too scarcely without a warning

conflict between capital and labor
is almost a thing of the past, as
the employer and employee are
getting closer together and have a
better understanding of each 9TH
er, as witnessed by the large and
increasing number of great indus
tries and establishments that are
adopting the Golden Rule in bust
ness and are admitting the work
ers to share in the profits. Cases
in point are The Nash Clothing
Co., The Eastman Kodak Co., and
many others. Henry Ford has no
strikes among his employees. Our
great problem seems to be market

BISMARCK BEATS
LlNTOy LIONS, 1912

Bismarck entered the champion
ship frame Of the third district tour
nament by virtue Ut hard-earned
victory over the Linton Lions. The
final score was % to IL.
BY dint Of cool playing, the De-
mons established an early lead that
Linton was never able to overcome.
During the first quarter, Bismarck
rolled in seven points, added five
more in the second quarter, six in
the third and five in the final.
For few minutes in the final
canto, Linton heartened the hopes
OF its rooters by staging a rally.
Field goals by Kremer, Sautter and
Gillespie boosted the Lions within
six points of the Clan Mcleod.
At this point Bismarck's defense
stiffened and, resorting to STALL
and-break game, they kept the Lions
at bay despite the frcnzied efforts
OF Sautter and his star running
mate. Kremer.
Spriggs led in the tallying, the
dusky warrior scoring four times
from the hardwood and three times
from the free throw line. It was
his third successive big day with the
sphere.
Sautter, the deadly shot of the
Lions, was we'll nigh smothered by
the alright defense that the Capt.
tolians offered. The Brown broth
ers and O'Hare were on the heels of
the Linton forwards at all times.

ASHLEY SCARES
MANDAN BRAVES

Ashley brought fear to Brave fans
this morning when they started
playing a stalling game tat had
Mandan ''up in the air" during the
whole fist quarter. Settling down
to business in the final three periods,
the Braves slowly edged away from
the Ashleyites to cop a "a to 10 VIC
tory.
The score is no indication of how
close the battle was. Ashley opened
the counting when Becker heaved q
long toss through the hoop. Steph-
ems gave Mandan a point on freq
throw. Then Morris followed in aft
err : long shot end showed the sphere
over the rim. The score was tied a
few minutes later at 5-all.
At this juncture, Mandan
"cnapred out of it" and began to
play the ball that it is capable Of
and lead Ashley at the quarter, z to
5. From then on the Mandan tally
steadily mounted to the final score.
Seitz, Mcdonald and Morris led in
the basket-walloping for Mandan
while Becker was the bright star in
Ashley's scoring attempts. Bender,
flashy little Ashley guard, played
an all-around game for the losers
and brought many q hand for his
valiant fighting.

General business continued spotty
V h the volume in most lines falling
slightly below the corresponding
period last year. The rise in Gem
eral Motors was accompanied by pre-
dictions Of record breaking first
quarter earnings, and hopes Of q
substantial extra dividend at the
next meeting of the directors. Ex-
cept for some disappointment at the
progress Of spring business recov-
cry. there was nothing definite to
explain the heaviness of U. S. Steel
common.
The success of bear traders in dis
covering vulnerable issues in the
market was generally construed as
indication of the existence of weak
technical position in many special
ties. On the other hand, the short
interest in some issues obviously
was overcrowded, as evident by the
quick runup in International Nickel
and Radio. Many of the larger COM
mission houses advised a cautionary
trading policy, several suggesting a
Tightening Of long commitments on
the rallies.
Oil shares displayed a stronger un-
dertone as a result of extensive ad-
vanees in gasoline prices, although
publication of exceedingly poor 1927
earnings reports inspired some liqui-
dation on the rallies. The continued
falling off in freight car traffic
tended to discourage general buying
Of rails. although special strength
developed in a few issues.

-(U. s. II. A.)-Although the

wheat lost some force during the
week, premiums were fairly well
maintained. II per cent No. l

Oats showed independent strength
for the week, May advancing 3-8
cents. Cash demand was also some

WHEAT AND RYE
HIT NEW HIGHS
Attention of Wheat Trader.
Directed TO Bullish Aspects
of Crop Outlook

Chicago. March 3.-(AP)-Broad.
er activity in wheat today, with big
commission house buying, went hand
IL and with continued adverse wheat
crop reports from the central west.
Export business in wheat from North
America was estimated ut 100000
bushels, chiefly Canadian. July
wheat delivery rose to a new high
price record for the season, and so
likewise did all deliveries Of rye.
Wheat closed strong 7-8c to lac
net higher, corn lac to 5-Sc off, oats
varying from Ia to 3-8c decline to
l-Sc gain, and provisions at 2 cents
decline to a rise of cents.
Supplementing bullish effect of
unfavorable crop reports concerning
United States winter wheat, advices
were also at hand today that sup
plies of native wheat in Germany are
small and that the German stock Of
rye is very small. In this connec-
ton, leading British authority was
quoted today 40 predicting that
German importers will buy freely OF
American grains, rye in particular.
Some Chicago trade experts today
attached special significance to the
fact that Of the 100000 bushels Of
wheat shipped out of here yesterday
the bulk went to millers.> In this
connection, gossip was current that
mills were being forced to draw on
Chicago stocks because of inability
to obtain supplies elsewhere.
