very evenly matched and played a
fine, clean, fast game. The score
at the end of the first quarter was
Plentywood 10, Homestead g. The
score at the end of the half was a
1915 tie. The score remained a
tie at the end of the third quarter.
In the final period the brentwood
team seemingly tired slightly and
the Homestead boys obtained a
very short lead which was held to
a final score of Homestead 25.

very fast, but both teams were
handicapped greatly on account of
the small floor space. Tho both
teams are made up of large men,
the game was remarkably clean
with very little roughness and few
personal fouls. A return game
will be played at Plentywood Fri
day night, January End. It is hop
ed that third game may be ar
ranged soon thereafter upon a
neutral floor, perhaps at Antelope

ing that disastrous consequences
would follow any decrease in the
price of sugar beets for the 1891
season was issued here TODAY bv
the Mountain States Beet Growers
Marketing Association.
The statement was released bv q
special publicity committee of the
association. '-'0
Inc beet growers indicated they
would ask the Great Western Su-
gar Company for a new type of
contract for next years CROP bv
which the cost of production in the
growing of beets and the cost of
manufacturing would be totalled
and profits would be pro-rated be-
tween the growers and the COM
pany on cost basis.
,ClClng that congress had grant
cd the sugar industry a tariff of
TWO cents pound, or $5.26 on the
average ton of beets, the state
ment continued:
=. 1hls was done with the expec-
fancy that the agricultural inter

HOOVER STRIKES
AT SOVIET TRADE
Hyde Orders That Sausage Cas-
Ings No Longer Be Allowed En-
try On Russian InspectiOn-First
Steps Against Russia.

Washington. - FTP - President
Hoover, through Secretary of Ag-
riculture Hyde, has at last struck
openly at Soviet trade with the
United States. This first direct
blow is directed at imports of
sausage castings, which for years
have formed one of the big items
In the total of imports into this
country from the Soviet Union.
An order has been issued that af-
ter Dec. 18th no certificate of
healthful condition, attached to
such shipments by the meat in
spection department of the Soviet
government, shall be accepted by
the American inspection officers.
The Meat Inspection Bureau of
the Department of Agriculture ex-
plains that this means that hence
forth each cask of castings will be
opened, and it's contents will be
chemically fumigated before it is
admitted to the American market.
Denying that this will constitute
an embargo, the Bureau chiefs adj
NIT that it will add to the landed
cost of the Russian product. and
hence will reduce it's competitive
chance in America.
No Kick on Soviet Inspection.
For year and a half, past, the
Bureau discloses, certificates of in
spectiOn from the Russian Soviet
inspection authorities have been
accepted in good faith. No COM
plant as to the condition of anv
Soviet shipment of sausage cas-
ings has been filed with the Bu-
reau. But an order has been re-
celved from Secretary Hyde that
the certificates must not be hon
ored after Dec. ia date far
distant to give importers
warning to make no more ship
ments unless they wish to bear the
cost of Immigration at New York.
The sole explanation of this
antl-Soviet trade move is that the
Hoover administration has decided
that Soviet inspection certificates
are not officially known to be bas-
ed on actual inspection. Such of
flcial ignorance is declared because
The United States has no official T
representatives within the Soviet
borders.
Action May Be Far Reaching
While this blow at the castings
,rade will be serious, in cutting
Town the amount of Soviet sales
n this country and thereby reduc-
ng Soviet orders for American
and farming imple-
nents, the precedent set is more
important still. For if affidavits
IS to the condition of meat pro-
lucts are to be rejected, Soviet af-
ldavits as to the conditions under
which manganese, lumber, coal and
Their exports are produced-affi-
avits as to production by free la
or especially-would probably be |
elected in the same way. t
