PRACTICAL SUGGESTION
FOR LINCOLN BOWL

Editor, The Times: Some years
ago. Tacoma decided to build
public stadium. BY taking ad-
vantage OF natural ravine lead
ing to the water. the city built
a stadium recognized as an ex-
cellent investment. Tuesday, the
voters went TO the polls and
voted for a proposal which is
not so excellent.
The authors Of this plan. who
have in the past publicized
themselves as being the only
people having ability in this
city, have fallen somewhat short

bowl, by proposing 10 bury the

has been totally discarded, along
with the public money expended

posed to construct the new bowl

tanned from the common herd"
Why not, for instance, select
a number of commodities, raw
materials, things of which things
are made, including gold and
silver: have a board of financiers
and economists fix value on
them from time to time, accord
ing to supply and demand, and
have these commodities as a
basis for a sound redeemable
currency? Would not this plan
be better than the present in
definite and ill-ordered system
Let gold and silver go for
what they are worth relative to
other commodities and stand on
their own legs, taking no value
as a mere circulating medium of
exchange.
Sooner or later this surplus of
gold is going to get us into trou-
BILE, and we think it has already
done so. F. L. DENMAN,

THE MAYORALTY RACE
Editor, The Times: The la
mentations of the defeated cam
didate, NJ. G. Tennent, become
utterly disgusting to the sane
thinking public. Should it not
be sufficient to Tennent to know
that our government is made
and carried through on a ma
jority rule basis? / think Ten
nent should show the real Amer
lean spirit by accepting the
verdict of the ballot and wish
the winner success and offer
his cooperation to help him all
he can in carrying out the city
business in harmonious and
successful manner so that it
will be a benefit TO all OF the
people.
The m jority vote at the
polls, at the primary for DR..
Kerstetter, and at the general
election for Harry Cain, should
be enough TO convince Tennent
that the people did not want
him in office as mayor.

dirt utilized to fill the Lincoln
gulch, and II the east bank Of
the park were used for seating
and the creek taken care of by
a culvert, far below the floor
OF the bowl, the south side
would have a long, deep arena
with adequate light and air.
The present bowl thus would
not be wasted and the public
would have access at the sides
and both ends of the arena.
From an architectural view
point, a long oval with its main
axis centered on beautiful
park and thanked by an impos-
ing school, would be one OF the
finest sports arenas in the
Northwest.
The present solution is waste

plan to have two stadiums in
our expanding city. let us have
them both good.

Essentials OF q Date

The question, What is a
good date" has long been de-
bated among girls and boys.
Naturally everyone has a few
ideas and tastes" of his own.
But the average girls idea of
the six essentials of a good
date, after the boy has politely
asked for the engagement, are:
l. A date that is on time.
2. A date that has some man.
ners and uses them.
8. A date with a personality.
4. A date that wears approp-
rate clothing.
5. A date that doesn't expect
the girl to have planned the
evening, unless it is a leap year
date.
6. A date that doesn't act as
though the girl is being pri-
vileged.
So if you want to be a good
date boys, follow out these few
essentials.

SUCCESSFUL SEASON ENDS

The basketball season is end
ed-and a fine season it was
too. Our team, under the most
able coaching of Gene Garner,
copied the district title. This
was the first time Hardin could
claim that honor.
The future for next years
squad is by no means black.
The Bulldogs will lose two first
squad men through graduation.
One is Jim Williams, who
showed his spunk throughout
the season by being a first rate
substitute.
The other loss will be in the
person of Captain James Louk.
Besides being the spark for
this years team, James set the
pace for sportsmanShip-a real
ly great captain.
But we are sure that Coach
Garner already has his eye set
on the title again next year:
And he has the support and
backing to do that very thing.
The season is over, but the
memory will always linger.

HARDIN COPS
FOURTH PLACE
Big Timber Wins Title
Hurdin Is Topped BY
Beoverheud Quintet

A smoother working and
steadier playing Dillon team of
Beaverhead county weathered
the fast fourth quarter rally of
the Bulldogs to win by a score
of 80 to 80 in the curtain-rais-
ing game of the championship
night at the Southern Divis-
ional basketball tournament
staged in Billings last week. Big
Timber captured the title when
they downed an injured Klein
team by a score of 80 to %.
The Bulldogs fourth quarter
squirt was led by Wesley Falls
Down and Bill Three Irons who
tailed eight and four points
respectively. Up until the final
period Hardin just couldn't
seem to get going or stop the
accurate eyed Dillon bunch.
Burgess of Beaverhead hung up
IA points to lead all scores,
while Falls Down led the Har-
din quintet with II.
Big Timber's height showed
against the Klein aggregation
who were minus the services of
Belinak, star center, after the
first quarter, when he received
an ankle injury.
The score was tied sail at
the end of the first period. Big
Timber led IL to 8 at the half
and "a to IA at the end of the
third stanza. Captain Bud Dea-
gen of the Big Timber quin-
tet scored IL points to lead his
team to victory.
Trophies were presented to
Hardin and Dillon between the
two games and to Big Timber
and Klein after the champion
ship game. With the champion
ship goes the right for Big
Timber to compete in the state
tournament to be held in Liv-
ingston next week. They will
play against Anaconda and
Havre, the two class A schools,
and Shelby, the other B school.
