The Government Seed Stocks
Committee, Flour Exchange Build
ing, Minneapolis, last week advised
the County Agents office at st.
Cloud that the amount Of feed bar
ley seed available Is limited and
the orders from Stearns county
will not be filled completely. For
this reason the County Agents Of
flee urges all farmers in Stearns
county that have a supply of barley
seed available that they list the
same with theabove office naming
the amount of seed they have and
the variety that it Is. The local sup
ply OF barley seed is much more
plentiful than oats and for that
reason no difficulty Is expected in
helping farmers to secure the nee
essary amount of seed barley.
The Seed Stocks Committee has
an ample supply Of oats, wheat and
flax 50 that all orders from Stearns
county will be filled in full. At this
time the Government seed loans

Sank Centre
Eliminated
from Tourney

Last evening, Wednesday, the To-
cal high school basketball quint
was eliminated dn a hard fought
game by Alexandria in the initial
contest for the locals of the district
tournament at Alexandria. Alex
lead all the way with intervals IL
which the teams were tied UP, and
the final score showed Alex victors
with "a points to 20 for the locals.
Tuesday evening in the opening
OF the district meet Henning won
over Bertha, IS to Is. while Glen
wood trimmed Melrose 80 to %.
Both OF these games were slow and
unbalanced compared with the
evenly matched Sank Centre-Alex-
andria tilt. Tonight, Thursday,
Henndng and Gleniwood will battle
for the award to compete in the
finals, while Long Prairie and
Alexandria will compete for the
same honors. The final match in
which the district winner will be
chosen will be played Friday even

Alexandria came in with the first
goal of the game and followed in
rapid fire succession with another

Play reached fever heat in this
quarter with Scanlon scoring

snatched more points while the
locals scored only for their final

Eliminated from the district meet
in the first contest, it can not be
said that the local lads were not in
there playing ball every minute.
Alex earned every point they took
in that ball game. Weakened by
sickness and necessary re-arrange-
ments the locals were at a slight
handicap, but they made 1t up in
fight. They were not weakened so
much by the loss of a player rs
they were by the necessary shifts
in the lineup made necessary, and
the fact that the boys were not
used to playing those positions. In
the last half Sank Centre lost Du-
Bots and Carpenter on fouls, and
were forced to play with two sub
stitutes who worked hard, but who
were not accustomed to playing
with that combination. The boys
deserve good hand from the local

land Taylor Arranges
Sport Program
9 DISTRICTS COMPETE
Liberal Prizes Offered To
Both District And
County Winners

Garland Taylor, Superintendent
Of Schools of Stearns county, has
arranged for a County track and
field meet to be held at the Stearns
County Fair this year. Owing to
the fact that the Spelling Contest
reaches only small portion of rur-
al school pupils, this attractive
sport program has been added,
with a view of giving more chill
dren an opportunity to interest
themselves in some project at the
fair.
Because of the size OF this coun-
ty and the large number of chill
dren attending the rural schools,
the county has been divided into
nine districts. The winners in each
district will compete at the fair for
the county championship. Ribbons
will be given for first, second and
third places in the district meets
and either money or medals will be
presented to the winners at the
fair. b..
At the present time no amount
has been set aside for prizes, but
boys and girls eligible to enter, may
rest assured that they will be
worthwhile. Congressman Harold
Knutson has already expressed his
desire to give at least $50 toward
prizes, and Mr.. Taylor plans to
give a liberal prize to be known
as the County superintendent
prize.
Mr.. Taylor says, that project Of
this kind has much to recommend
it to the consideration of the
teachers and pupils of the county.
In the first place, the idea of keep
ing fit physically SO as to win will
provide motivation for teaching
good health habits and personal
hygiene to pupils. In the second
place, 1t ought to improve attend
ance because pupils will not want
to miss practices at school. In the
third place, it ought to lead the way
for many pupils to continue in high
school SO that they may enjoy the
benefits of the athletic program Of
fered in those institutions. In the
fourth place, it has a moral value
in teaching good craftsmanship.
The events of this meeting have
been designed so as to not incur
much expense. The district divi-
sions and rules are as follows:

THE OLD PIONEER AND THE MATANUSkANS

The strikers were flabbergasted; said they would gang the next steamer that came into port There were several hundred of them on the dock when the next boat was sighted and no police to stop them; but Doc took a rowboat and went out and met the ship; told the captain was smallpox ashore and if he landed the ship would be quarantined. The boat didn't land. Doc Whiting came near to being lynched that night. When the next boat also didn't land and there did n't seem a chance of any others com ing in, the men had spent all their money and the town of Cordova wouldn't give them any credit; so they had to go back to work, and eventually the railroad was com- pleted.
