FIND SUGAR CANE
FIELD FOR SLAVE
FILM PLANTATION

California is indicated. But by a
very narrow squeak.
The boast that the pictures can find
anything they need in California al
most came a cropper when Director
Michael Cuurtiz needed a sugar cane
field.
One of the important portions of
picture released by First National
showing at the New Theatre, Sand
stone, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, is laid in Jamaica. There are
many scenes in and about a slave
plantation and it's cane fields.
After a search that covered all of
Southern California, a single field
was discovered near the town of Cor
ona.
The First National technical de-
partment constructed the buildings
and entire background to duplicate
a Jamaican plantation, and filmed
this section of the picture right on
the location.
Captain Blood" is Rafael Sabatinis
smashing tale of the sea rovers OF
the seventeenth century, set in mas
sive and colorful background and pro-
duced on tremendous scale. There
is an all star cast which includes Err
rol Flynn, Olivia de Haviland, Lionel
Atwill, Basil Rathbone, Ross Alex
ander, Guy Kibbee, Robert Barrat and
hundreds of others.

North Branch Wins District
Basketball Championship
Continued from Page ~
Willow River Takes Consolation Prize,


The consolation game was played
between Willow River and Moose Lake
as a preliminary to the championship
game Saturday night and this game
was won by Willow River 25 to with
Moose Lake showing a complete re-
versal of the form that almost netted
them a game in the semi-finals when
they lost to Pine City by only one
point. Willow River was given the
tournament ball as third place prize
Pine City received the championship
ball for second place and North
Branch the trophy.
AskOv, the team which was slated
to win the tournament by many daily
sport writer's throughout the district
did not get by the second round, hav-
ing lost to Pine City % to 20. Sand
stone, another favorite, won its first
game "a to II against Rush City.
However, the Quarry City lads lost to
Willow River in their next game 80
to % which eliminated them from
further competition.
Tournament Well Conducted.
The tournament, with Hinckley as
its genial host, was managed by A. F.
Nuetzman, superintendent of the
Hinckley schools, and presented an
excellent climax to the seasons bas-
ketball schedule. A new innovation
in tournament efficiency. inaugurated
by Mr.. Nuetzman with the aid of stu
dents, was the installation and use
of a loud speaker system with an all
time announcer employed during the
contests. This made it possible for
the large crowds to hear in detail
what was going on and also get the
introduction of each team and it's
coach as it appeared upon the floor.
The loud speaker is also a valuable
addition to the school and did not
cost the district anything as the funds
were raised by the students under the
supervision of Superintendent Nuetz-
man. The management at all times
endeavored to be a pleasant host and
Supt. .Nuetzman has received the
thanks and appreciation of hundreds
in his efficient conduct of the tourna-
ment.
Band Music.
Besides entertainment features con-
sisting of local talent as we'll as i'm
ported talent between the halves of
the evening games, the Askov band
played at the Thursday afternoon
games and the North Branch and Pine

urday night in a program of good
music which kept the large crowd en-
tertained and at ease during the in

Annual Township Meeting.

At the annual meeting of Partridge
township Monday afternoon it was de-
cided that in the future the super
visors are to take funds from the
road and bridge fund for snowplowing
purposes instead of as at present go
ing around collecting from individuals
along the road to be plowed. 1t was
also brought out that more attention
should be given to clearing the road
sides and also to weed inspection. A
little prevention along these lines is
worth lot of cure. Only a few more
than 60 were out to vote and they Sc
lected Elmer Jensen as supervisor for
three years, c. Flint for clerk, Walter
Boyer for justice of the peace and
Fred Olesen for constable. The SUI
