Chapter 10 Three Trolls

.NHERE was not a friendly l fairy or bird or fox in all that big forest to help Leezen, the doll, where she stood. And she, poor dool, couldn't help herself because she could neither talk nor move until the midnight hour struck again.
 She stood quite alone until just before dusk when there were shouts and rumbling through the trees. If only Leezen could have heard them she might have hid den. But she stood silent, and there she was found by three very old trolls who were going home. They had been out all day look ing for pieces of gold. They had looked for gold so long that they walked hunched over, and their big hands hung down to their knees.
 "Sh, look" whispered one troll as he spied Leezen. "A Princess. We'll take her home and make the King give us gold for her return" !"
 "Oh, gold, gold" mumbled the other two.
 They crept up to the doll on their hands and knees. Their little squint eyes never left her face. Then one strengthened up and said, very astonished, "Why she's asleep or blind"
 Are you blind?" shouted an- other. Leezen neither moved nor answered. So the trolls lost their fear of her and scampered up. One felt her pretty dress between his boney fingers. Another ran his finger over her pretty blue slip pers. The third stood still and grinned.

Hardly before the shoulder pads
are carefully put away and your
columnist has drained the last
ounce of cold from his shivering
frame from those frigid football
games, basketball bounces right in
to your laps. Good old bas-
ketball, where the going's always
tough and anything may happen.
Where fellows sits nicely indoors
and rests while the boys out on the
courts work their heads off.
And this year double portion
with the high school and the Jun
ior College pooling something over
a 30-game schedule. Besides
that there'll be the district tourna-
ment here so we won't have done
with the old game until the SHOWS
are well on their way-out. >.
Each year just when we all get
used to the game, you can figure
that someone will sneak up when
you aren't looking and change a
bunch of the rules. :. Remember
a few years ago when they aban-
doned the center jump after the
field goal and the free throw? That
was revolutionary. Each year
the changes go on, but not so wide
in scope as that season. But as
explained in a bulletin from the
national federation of state high
school athletic associations, a high
sounding title that denotes a now
highly organized system, rule
changes are carefully coddled for 4
season before nationally announc-

try are organized under the var

loosely with the national collegiate

A permanent scheduling COM
mittee for the West Central
Conference is in the making. A
preliminary report of the COM
mittee was made last. week at
the fall meeting. Schedules,
mapped until 1943, have not
been accepted. There may be
plenty changes in the plot but
briefly the plan PROCEEDS along
these angles: Each team will
have three constants, or rivals
which they play every year;
each team plays two or three
schools In addition to these
constants; each team does not
play one particular opponent.
Now that system may be en-
tirely revamped. But in the
proposed setUp, to come again
before the council next spring,

Distance IS Your Problem

Almost everything the Northwest
produces must be hauled long distances:
Wheat, to flour mills and, as flour, to
far-hung cities everywhere;
Cattle, from western ranges to pack
ing plants, and eventually to the tables
of consumers throughout the nation;
Seed potatoes, from the Red River VAL
ley to the Southern States,-1,500 miles;
Apples, from the State of Washington
to Chicago and New York,-from 1000
to 5000 miles.
Most of our products, in fact, must
find their way to populous, distant mar
kets where they are consumed or put
to use.
But after they are hauled these long
distances, and unavoidably at consider
able cost, they generally cannot be sold
for any more than similar products which
are shipped to the same markets from
producing areas that are closer.
These great distances are inescap-
able facts. All that any of us can do
about it is to try to minimize this
handicap so far as possible.
And that has been the policy of the
Great Northern Railway from its earliest
days,-to provide highly efficient trans
portation; to help you find profitable

and players and spectators alike
and fairness of the rule change.
/. s. Proceeding on this they find
which rules are most workable,
which seem in practice not to be
going so hot, and then after the
season the changes are made.
But changes are made only after
hundreds of games, statements of
coaches, athletic associations and
fans are studied. 1t Is not un-
usual for statistics that guide the
rules committees to cover as many
as 1000 games in single state.
So you fans won't be too con-
fused the first time you see a
game, there are a few changes,
not far-reaching, but indicative
of what is going on. Any
player may now request a time
out when the ball is dead or in
control of the players team.
The change is that formerly
only the captain could call time
out. F. Advantage Is that Of
ten officials were lax in TAX
ing time to find the captain,
and it aids in the case of an
injured player where the cap
tain may be far down the court.
In the event Of a tie game, adj
ditional overtime periods will be
allowed. The change calls that an
additional time out may be grant
ed each team for each overtime
period. But any time outs over
that one allotted each overtime per-
iod will be taken at the expense
of a technical foul. :.
Here's one a little more i'm
pOrtant. After a free throw
for technical foul, the play will
be resumed by a throw in from
out of bounds at mid-court by
the free thrower's team. It
formerly called for a center
In the case of free throw, the
ball must either enter the basket
or touch the ring. If the ball
touches the blackboard, it cannot
be batted in for a field goal by a
player on the team of the foul
shooter. If the ball neither
touches the ring nor enters the
basket, it will be put into play by
the opponent out of bounds on the
end near the basket for which
the player was shooting. =. The
change eliminates deliberate at
tempts to miss free throws with
the intention of conversion of a
higher-scoring field goal. -.
Also pertinent to free throws,
a player may have the choice
of the throw or possession of
the ball. In the event he
chooses possession of the ball,
the team will take it out of
bounds at mid-court. In case
of a multiple throw the rule
applies only to the last free
throw. 1t does not apply to
double foul. Alternative is
that if a player elects to take
the free throw, and misses, or
makes the toss, his team loses
possession of the ball.
Clarity on fouling was made this
year. If a player is fouled in the
act of shooting from behind or is
roughed in the act of shooting, he
is awarded two free throws. j..
Whether the basket is made or not.
Formerly the contingency of max
ing the basket tempered the Of
ficial's ruling on single or multi
pie free throws. Those are the
important changes to clear things
up. Now go out and see how
they work. -.

markets for what you grow; and to try
to make rates that will enable you to sell
your products profitably in those
markets.
But the extent to which the Great
Northern can be helpful depends
upon two things:
I.-How cheaply we can produce
the transportation you require; and,
2.-How closely ve can come to
using our transportation facilities to
their full capacity, because VOLUME
is the only thing that wiU spread
and thin out the expense of main
tanning our railroad plant and its
overhead costs.
The handicap of distance is only made
more burdenson1e by public policies,
laws and regulations which add unneces-
sarily to the cost of furnishing your rail-
road transportation; or which artifcially
divert traffic from the railroad to other
forms Transportation through subsidies,
unequal regulation and unequal taxation.
When the bulk of phat you pro-
duce must be moved hundreds and
euen thousands of miles by railroad,
the effect of public policies on the cost
becomes matter of grave concern.

CHAIRMAN OF CHINESE RE.
LIEF WRITES THANKS TO
MRS. BERKOWITZ

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.,
chairman of the United Council
for Civilian Relief in China, has
forwarded a letter to Mrs. M. E.
Berkowitz, local chairman of the
council, in which he personally
expressed graft t u de for the
amount of time and effort she
and members of the local council
are giving to the aid of the Chi
neSe relief work.
In closing, he states: "You have
joined hands in a good cause and
the thanks of millions of helpless
Chinese refugees will be yours
fol all time.
The local council has devoted
much time toward making this
years campaign as great a sue
cess as that of last year, and it is
hoped that when the report of the
Key West council is forwarded
to headquarters it will compare
favorably with those of larger
cities.
The campaign will come to a
close Monday night, October 30,
when the beautiful reproduction
of painting by Wing, a we'll
known California artist, will be
awarded to the holder of the
lucky ticket. The presentation
will be made by Mrs. Berkowitz,
local chairman, at 8 o'clock that
night at the library. Those who
have tickets are asked to be pres
ent at that time.

Mr.. LasSiter continued: 'The

Commissioners, by resolution on
October 4, requested that they be
purchased which the Board of Ad-
ministration refused to do until
yesterday when they authorized

is no assurance, however, that
the offerer of the bonds will sell
them at 721z as the bids are only
firm for 10 days. If the offerer
insists that he be paid IS instead
of 1914 the Board of Administra

price at this time. The purchase
of $150,000 bonds means the re-
