sional Players at Junior High
School Gym

With a record behind them
that pleased their fans the
Sank Centre Independents now
turn to professional cOmpeti-
ton to give q real show to
basketball fans. On Friday
evening, March Is, they will
tangle with the House of Da-
vid in the local school gym.
The game is under the spon-
sOrship of the Athletic club.
The Independents finding it
impossible to book any more
outfits in the category of Cold
Spring and Alexandria, both of
whom they defeated at least
once, they have turned to the
House of David, q barn-storm-
ing group of ex-college stars un-
der the managership of George
johnson. The transforming
troupe has in its assembly
stars from all parts of the
country, and In five seasons
has won 80 per cent of its
games travelling In the Middle

Coast.
This game should promise a
real treat as final sendoff to
the Independents. Coming as it
does following the close of the
regular basketball season 1t
should leave pleasant thoughts
in the minds of the fans.

Third Place
In Contest
Sank Centre Awarded Two
Firsts In Sub-District
Defamation Event
A VERY GOOD SHOWING
Excellent Endeavor Against
Veteran Competition In
Two Declams

Fighting their way through two
previous contests, the local elimin-
alton and the sub-district, William
Kaufman, oratorical, taking sec
ond place, and Dorothea Obs, dram
attic, adjudged third, were finally
bested in the district meet at
Alexandria on Monday evening.
The two cleared the field before
them on last Thursday evening in
the local school in the postponed
sub-district meet. In field of
nine representing five schools,
Kaufman and Miss Obs were de-
clared first in their division, while
Dorothy Kohl, in the humorous,
was defeated.
In the district competition the
two Sank Centre representatives
faced some of the stiffest compe-
tition that has been in the district
for some time. Kaufman, an
eighth grader, who has to the de-
light of Miss Wilder, coach, shown
great promise for one so young,
was bested only by Joseph Hoehl,
Melrose, last years district winner.
Kaufman with the selection, 1.-THE
Big Parade" was rated second
place behind winner that had
held that position for two seasons.
Dorothea Obs reading the dramat-
ic selection, "The Wheels of Time"
faced a similar situation, and in
receiving third place was defeated
by two veterans. The first was
Dona DuBeau, Alexandria, who,
with the difficult selection MARY,
Queen of Scots" was rated for her
second consecutive year as district
winner in the dramatic division.
The second was Maxine Dixon, of
Osakis. Although Sank Centre had
no representative in the humorous
division, Erwin frisco, of Melrose,
was first place winner for his Sec
ond time with the selection, For
the Love of Mike"
Last Thursday evening William
Kaufman lead the oratorical field
with 'The Big Parade" winning
over James Hammarsten, of Grey
Eagle, and Gus Bartz, of Burtrum.
Dorothea Obs swept over the dram
attic field and defeated jeanette
Gleeser, of Swanville, and Adeline
Golden, of Burtrum, to place first.
Dorothy Kohl was the first of the
Sank Centre candidates to fall
from the ranks of first place when
she rated third last Thursday even
ing in the humorous division with
Lucille Auslander, Swanville, and
Eldon Larson, Upsala, placing first
and second respectively.
All three of the Sank Centre
candidates are to be congratulated
on their fine efforts. For both Miss
Kohl and Miss Obs this season re-
presented their first major attempt
in defamation, and to 60 as far as
they did against such veteran COM
petition as is in the district this
year is indeed an achievement.
With William Kaufman 1t is under
stood this is not his first attempt
but he only an eighth grader and
against such veteran material, too.
must be complimented. Miss Wilder
is to be commended on her work
with the squad and the material
that she has developed.

Advise Black Amber
Cane as Natural Food
Pheasants In Large Numbers
Perish From Starvation Ac-
c0rding to Reports

Paintings of greater acreages of
black amber cane for providing ma
tural food during the winter for
game birds are advised by the
State Game and Fish Department.
Several thousand acres of the cane
were planted during the past year
by the division of game and fish
with the cooperation of the farm
ers, but the amount proved insult
ficient to carry through the ex-
treme cold winter. Farmers in this
community interested are asked to
consult their local game warden,
Jos. Vornbrock, at Melrose.
Starving of pheasants during the
intense cold weather emphasizes
the need for providing more natur-
al food, and the black amber cane
is considered the best method to
provide that food.
Limited funds of the department
for feeding birds have been gener-
ously supplemented by voluntary
contributions from sportsmen's
groups and individuals. In Sank
Centre the matter of raising funds
to purchase feeds is being done
through individual effort, and con-
tributions for this purpose are be-
ing taken at the Waldorf Cafe.
Some game wardens estimate
that as many as two-thirds of the
game birds in their districts have
starved to death. One warden pick
ed up 20 dead pheasants in sim
gle day.
A warning of the danger of set
ting out grain for game birds on
the shoulders of trunk highways
was issued by Gustav Swanson,
game and fish biologist. A large
number of the birds have been
killed by trucks and cars at these
feeding places,

FARMERS FILL
OUT DATA FOR
SOIL PROGRAM

Imperial county farmers are low
compiling information IN order that
they may fill out work sheets and
qualify under the Agricultural Con-
servation program. They are being
assisted by committeeman, and
Dan Pubols. secretary of the Agri-
cultural Conservation association
for Imperial county.
The work sheets. being prepared
in connection with the establish
ment of soil-depleting bases for
farms in Imperial county, require
the following information: Cd the
legal description of the farm; ~
the net acreage OF each crop har
vested in 1885 on The ranch that is
being farmed in 1886; CD distribu
tion of farm acreage according to
the crops grown in 1885; (4) the
yield of the major crops On the
land.
"a farms base acreage for any
crop or crops" says Mr.. Pubols, sis
the amount of land ordinarily plant
ed on the farm to that CROP or
crops.
Under the Agricultural Conser-
vation program, soil -depleting bases
are to be established, first, to pro-
vide a definite standard to measure
the extent of soil conservation and
soil improvement on individual
farms in 1896; and second, this
standard will be used to determine
the amount to be paid to The indi-
vidual farmer who co-operates.
