DELHI and MORTON
SURPRISE CUNTS
OF SUB-DISTRICT
BELVIEW WINS FROM
GlRBON TO REACH
TOURNEY FINALS

l. was tournament of upsets,
yet the favored two teams, Nor
gan and Gaylord, came through.
ParadoXical as the statement
sounds, it was enc of the quirks of
the Sub-district tournament here
last weekend that the "best guess"
team never won excepting the
two winners who now move into
the district meet at New Ulm, and
they never won as easily as SEEM
ed likely at gametime.
Only first round game that
wen in accord with general pre-
diction was the Wabasso-Sanborn
encounter. Franklin had been
given a slight edge Of Walnut
Grove and Winthrop and Echo
decided margins over Morton and
Gibbon-yet Franklin, Winthrop
and Echo each tasted defeat at
the hands of quints which simply
refused to accept the inevitable.
That round over, Delhi started
another of the same sort by
dumping the Walnut Grove quint
IN a fourth surprise win and Bel
view tied into Gibbon and Whisk-
ed through to two point upset.
Then Morton, the team that
hadn't won a game all season I'M
til the night before, forced Gay
lord into an overtime period and
the fans really went wild. Gay
lord won it however and Morgan
came through over Wabasso, al
though the Rabbits had the boys
from down the tracks behind the
eight ball until they got up steam
along in the second quarter.
Even the finals packed a sur
prise in the ScrappineSS of the
Delhi quint which refused to be
aWed by the fine record of the
Morgan quint and chung to the
thin chance of pulling another up
set until the pace began to tell in
the final quarter. Gaylord was an
easier winner over the Belview
quint.
Morgan SO, Delhi 81
Morgan won the right to meet
Fairfax at the district tourney
with its 38 to 81 win over a VAL
liant Delhi five in the final game
here Saturday night.
Morgan managed to stay in the
lead but for three quarters was
closely pursued by the Delhites.
The Green and Gold team led at
the quarter II to II, was ahead
10 to II at half-time and 20 to 81
a: the start of the final frame.
Bsn Gruendeman of the winners
led the scoring with II points
while Mattson of Delhi paced the
losers with IL.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Sammy Jay was having no trouble
in keeping awake now. Not a bit!
He couldn't have gone to sleep If
he wanted to-not since Hooty the
Owl had frightened him almost out
Of his skin with his fierce, hungry,
hunting call. He was too frightened
and shivery and creepy to sleep. But
he didn't want to anyway, because,
you know, he meant to sit up wide
awake all night and then see If any
of the little meadow and forest peo-
pie would say that he had screamed
| in the night. If they did he would
know then that they were just try
ing to tease him by saying such
things, because he meant to keep
his mouth closed as tight as tight
and not make single sound.
So he sat in the thickest part of
the big pine tree, shivering and
creepy and miserable. He heard
Bobby Coon go down the Lone Little
Path on his way to Farmer Browns
cornfield, where the corn was just
beginning to get milky and sweet.
Out in a patch of bright moonlight
he saw Peter Rabbit jumping and
dancing and having the greatest
kind of a time all by himself. Pretty
soon Peter was joined by his cousin,
Jumper the Hare. Such antics as
they did cut up! Sammy Jay al
most laughed aloud as he watched.
1t was less lonely with them there
and he did want to call to them
dreadfully. But that would never,
never do, for no one must know that
he was sitting up awake all night.
BY and by, along came Jimmy
Skunk, walking out into the patch
Of bright moonlight. He touched
noses with Peter Rabbit and Jumper
the Hare, which Is one way Of say
ing Good evening" in the Green
Forest.
isn't it most time for Sammy Jay
to scream in his sleep?" asked Peter
Rabbit. Sammy pricked up his ears.
Scream in his sleep! Nonsense!
Sammy Jay isn't any more asleep
than I am. He just screams out of
pure meanness to wake up and
frighten good, honest folks who want
to sleep. For my part, don't see
what any one wants to sleep on such
fine night as this for. anyway. 1t
serves 'em right If they do get
walked up," replied Jimmy Skunk.
But Sammy Jay says that he
doesn't know ANYTHING about H."
said Peter Rabbit. Have you ever
seen him scream in the night. Jim
my Skunk?"
mo, I don't have to-" replied jim
my Skunk. II guess I know his
voice when hear it, and I've heard
it enough times the last few nights,
goodness knows! Tell me this, Peter
Rabbit, who else is there that cries
Thief! Thief! Thief and screams
like Sammy Jay?"
Peter shook his head. II guess
you're right" he said.
"Of course I'm right. There now!"
Jimmy held up one hand to warn
Peter to keep still. Sure enough,
there was Sammy jays voice way
over in the alders, beside the Laugh
ing Brook, and it was screaming
Thief! Thief! Thief"
They all heard it. Sammy Jay
heard 1t, too, and scratched himself
to be sure that he was awake and
sitting there in the big pine tree.
Its my voice and it isn't my
voice, for I haven't made a sound,
and it's over in the alders while I'm
here in my own big pine tree" NUT
tered Sammy Jay to himself. I'm
glad kept awake, but but
Maybe I'm going crazy:
My wits are all so haZy.
That's surely me
Yet here ! bel
oh. dear. sure am crazy!

U. 5. Quinine Supply
Is Now Held Adequate

AS a result OF recent record i'm
ports of cinchona bark and Gin
chona derivatives, the United States
now has an adequate store of
quinine. an important wat material,
according to an article, "Quinine in
National Defense" in the current
issue Of Domestic Commerce
Weekly published today.
During the nine-month period
ending in May, imports of cinchona
derivatives amounted to approx
mately 100000 ounces, an 80 per
cent gain over imports for the cor
responding months of 1889.
Quinine has been especially i'm
portant in military campaigns con-
Quoted in the tropics and other
areas infested with malaria bear
ing mosquitoes. The United States
Army uses large quantities and the
accumulation of large reserve stores
is part of the preparedness program.
The Netherlands East Indies con-
trolls more than 80 per cent of the
worlds supply of cinchona bark.
The jungles of Central and South
America produce considerable guam
titles Of low-grade wild bark. Agents
Of the Dutch syndicate that con-
trolls most of the world supply have
been bidders for cinchona bark
offered for sale in Latin America.

u. 5. Stocking Up
On Strategic Minerals
For 2-Year Emergency
Defense Commission Aide
Tells Mining Engineers
Reserves Grow Slowly

The Government is building up
stock piles in strategic minerals in
dependent Of private industrial
stock and sufficient to supply all
krown plants using such minerals
at maximum capacity for a two
year emergency, DR.. c. K. Leith.
mineral consultant of the National
Defense Commission, disclosed last
night.
Addressing members of the Dis
trict section of the American Insti-
tute Of Mining and Metallurgical
Engineers at the Harrington Hotel,
DR.. Leith outlined the problems Of
marshalling the mineral resources
needed by the Nation as a war re-
serve. Strategic minerals is clas-
sif1cation established by the Army
and Navy Munitions Board and in
cludes tin, chromite, manganese ore,
tungsten and others. They are
minerals which this country lacks
either in whole or in greater part.
At the same time, DR.. Leith,
touching on the present conflict,
indicated England still might have
the whip hand over Germany as
long as she can maintain control of
the sea and hence control of min
eral raw materials which he said
are "the ultimate source of power
Stocks Increase Slowly.
In building up United States Gov
eminent reserve stock, DR.. Leith
emphasized that as far as possible
the Government would not COM
pete with private industry for the
materials. He added, however. that
the procedure of taking what is left
over has meant that building up
the Government reserves has been
proceeding slowly.
I'VE are still long way from the
goal" he said.
Among the problems to be con-
sidered in the building up of ade-
quate reserves, he said, are possi-
bilities Of chronological improve
ments which demand less of min
erals; substitution of minerals and
the effect of rising prices. He also
added that every effort is being
made while the seas are yet some
what open to get in minerals lacked.
I'VE have got to prepare for the
worst he said The emergency
might come at time when indus
trial supplies are low"
Warfare for Minerals.
DR.. Leith reduced the present
conflict to a battle for strategic
minerals, pointing out that the
English-speaking peoples control the
bulk of the mineral resources of the
world. The struggle for these min
erals. he said, developed with the
growth of heavy industry. which
could not exist without them. Ger
many has acquired some needed re-
sources by conquest thus far. but
still lacks oil, some Of the ingredi-
ents needed for steel and other
minerals.
The national defense consultant
pointed out that if the British won
the war the bulk of the minerals
still would be with the English
speaking peoples and that in the
interests of law and order some ad-
justment might have to be made
to give .have-not nations some of
the minerals they need for exist
ence.

Hoisingfon
Wins Court
Decision
-
Commissioner Residence Is
Okeyed by Supreme
Court Ruling.
CONTROVERSY LASTED
OVER ONE YEAR

A case that has been pending for
nearly year was brought to final
conclusion last Wednesday, the Oath,
when the Montana state supreme
court ruled that Chef Q. Hoisington
is legally entitled to the office of
county commissioner from the Troy
district. The decision of the SUI
preme court was unanimous one.
It will be remembered that ]. P.
Wilson of Troy contested Hoising-
toms right to the office on the
grounds that Hoisington had estab-
lished residence in Libby when he
served as deputy sheriff, and there
fore he was prohibited by law from
running for the office of county
commissioner of the Troy district
inasmuch as his residence was in
the Libby district, according to Will
sons contention.
Hoisington denied that he had
ever established legal residence in
Libby, that he still retained his home
and property near Leonia, and that
his actual residence was, as it had
been for a number of years, on his
farm in the Troy commissioner dis
trict. Hoisington was elected to the
office by large majority in the
fall of 1888.
Hoisington won the case in the
Lincoln county court Thereupon
Wilson appealed to the supreme
court.
in a review of the facts the SUI
preme court opinion, written by
Justice A. H. Angstman, stated:
4Hoisington settled upon a home
stead near Troy in Lincoln county
(. j. remaining until 1895, at which
time he accepted appointment as 2
deputy sheriff at Libby !. where
he maintained his home until the
time Of trial OF this action.

as electors in the Libby precinct
Later, upon learning they coulC
maintain their voting residence II
the Troy district, they cancelled
their registration in the Libby dis.
trict and reregistered in the Troy
district.
Under the facts here the court
was justified in finding the com.
/ testee resided within the Troy dis.
trict during the two years preceding
the time he became candidate
There is nothing to indicate the
word resided was intended to have
any different meaning than Wher
