A speedy basketball game held at
Willow River Monday night ended
disastrously for the Kerrick squad
when Popek of Willow River dropped
a short shot in the last few seconds
to bring the score out of a % to %
tie, and set the final count at % to
"a in favor of the Willow River
aggregation. Willow started off by
dropping three baskets early in the
game, but Kerrick came up quickly
and outplayed its opponents from
the west, to carry the leading end
of the score throughout nearly the
entire game In the final period,
however, Willow countered basket
for basket, and Popek's goal in the
final seconds of play gave the western
lads the two-point lead which won
the game for them. A return game
will be played at the Kerrick gym
nasium March l, at which time the
Kerrick juniors will also try to avenge
10 to IL defeat handed them by
the Willow juniors Monday night.
A good program will be given by
the Parent-Teachers Association the
evening of March l, at its regular
meeting. 1t is regretted that the
two entertainments conflict, each hav-
ing been planned by its sponsors
without knowledge of the other,
but the two groups are eager to CO.
operate in trying to successfully hold
both events the same evening. If it
is convenient, the PIT. A. will begin
at approximately seven o'clock, with
the basketball games held immedi-
ately afterward. After the games,
the PIT. A. will serve lunch at the
prevailing prices.
On Thursday evening, Feb. II, the
Sandstone town team met the Ker-
rick boys on the local floor and went
home with the short end of a As to
SO score. The Kerrick quint started
off quickly, rolling up the count to
20 to at the end of the first quar-
ter, but the Sandstone lads countered
just as quickly in the second period,
the half ending % to 81. Marked
by zigzag tally and program of
fast action, the last half was either
teams game until the last few min
utes when Kerrick ran up its total
to take the lead and win the game

Beef Prices Rise;
gValueSlump
Hogs Regain Some of Mon
days Loss, Top $8.65;
Lambs Advance.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Feb. %,
1888: For the second consecutive
week, beef prices advanced and this
in turn began to be reflected in the
live cattle trade. Some of the i'm
provement in fresh meat quarters
was believed traceable to the rather
vigorous commercial campaigns to
boost meat eating. Cattle prices at
South st. Paul, while not subStan-
TALLY higher than last week, still
showed a tendency to firm, accord
ing to the Federal-State Market News
Service. Odd head of steers made
$500, with good lots frequently up
to $500 and bulk sales $500 to $7.25.
Slaughter she stock showed little
or no change, but the undertone sug-
gested a better feeling. Load lots OF
heifers sold upwarc to $7.35, with
bulk sales S5.75 to $500. Beef cows
had a spread of $4.75 to $3.50, while
low cutters and cutters brought 1918
to $3.50. Vealers held steady, linn
tied numbers strictly choice grade
again commanding $11.00. Strong
to 15c higher prices for bulls found
sausage offerings at $5.25 to $6.25.
Trade in dairy cows moved along
at steady levels, shippers paying
$1,000 to $4,000, while bulk turned
at $500 to S65.00. Stockers and
feeders held steady, also.
Hog values slumped on Monday,
influenced by fairly liberal receipts
in the aggregate at leading markets.
Supplies have been light locally for
quite some time, and sellers generally
have dictated price terms. A recov-
cry on the current session found pres
ent levels only sc to 10c below the
close of last week. This brought
the top downward to S8.65 compared
with the years peak of $8.75 paid
late last week Sows strengthened
to sell upward to $8.05. Slaughter
pigs are strong to Csc higher, demand
being brisk.
Top on lambs scared to $3.50 when
advances appeared on both Monday
and Tuesday of this week. This fig
ure was Csc above last weeks clos
ing peak Slaughter eve prices i'm
proved to place current levels at $500
to $3.50 on plain and medium grades,
while upward to S4.25 was paid for
choice ewes Monday. Feeding lambs
sold upward to $7.10.

KAUNAS. ithuania, March 21.-
Foreign Minister Stasys Lozoraitis and
Minister Of Justice Stasys silingas have
rendered their designations to Presi-
dent Antanas Smetona, but it could
not be learned today whether they
were accepted.
There were reports that Lozoraitis
offered his resignation five days ago
before a show of Polish arms forced
Iithuania to bow to demands for
decentralization" of Polish-Lithuanian
commercial and diplomatic relations,
but that the President would not ac-
cept it.
Favored Reconciliation.
Throughout last weeks tension
Lozoraitis favored reconciliation with
Poland.
Saturdays compliance with Poland's
army-backed ultimatum, however, af-
fected the foreign minister's political
position and caused country wide Bit
terness.

day declared a Today period of
mourning to protest the nations capit-
ulation to Poland.

The association members decided to
wear black Grape on their caps until
March 81, the date when Lithuania
agreed to exchange diplomatic ENJOYS
with Poland, as demanded in the
Polish note of last week.
There was a brief furry last night
