Polio Drive
Now Under WAY
Annual Drive for Funds
Includes Dances. Coin
Cards. Other Donations

The annual campaign for
funds by the Big Horn county
chapter of the National Foun-
dalton for Infantile Paralysis
is progressing rapidly, Robert
A. Vickers, chapter chairman,
announced this week.
Dates and places for two ben
eft dances have been an
nounced. The dance here will
be Saturday, January Is, at
the primary school gymnasium.
Music will be furnished by a
local orchestra under the direc-
ton of John l.. Swindle. At st.
Xavier the dance will be on
Saturday, February /, at the
school gymnasium. Ticket sales
in Hardin are under the aus
pices of the local Business and
Professional Women's club.
Mrs. Lura P. Strand, chair
man of the women's division OF
the campaign committee, is
sending coin cards over the
county. The ones distributed tc
school children have spaces fol
five dimes. Larger cards, with
slots for 20 dimes are also be-
ing distributed. The coin cards
and all other donations should
be mailed to R. P. Ross, secre-
tary, at Hardin.
Half of all contributions re-
main in the treasury of the
Big Horn county chapter. The
other half will be sent to the
National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis at New York City.
Last year the National Foun-
dalton was faced with the
greatest epidemic of polio since
its creation several years ago.
There were more than $4,000
cases of the Gripping disease.
Minnesota alone had more than
$500 cases and other states
also suffered epidemics. Mon
tana was hard hit, especially in
relation to the population, and
the funds in this state that had
been accumulated over recent
years were soon exhausted.
Funds of the Big Horn coun-
ty chapter were all used to
care for local cases. The Nation
al Foundation Immediately re-
sponded to a call for assist
ance, and the local chapter has
received $6,574 to date Every &C
days additional money is forth
coming in an amount sufficient
to pay for the care of Big Horn
county patients in St. Vfncent's
hospital in Billings.

Good Seasons
Record for BIS
High School B Tenn
Loses Only One Tilt.
Outclusses MdnY Foes

The Hardin high school "B''
basketball squad, coached by
Ray Rimel, has a record almost
as good as the first string Bull
dogs. The B basketeers have
lost only one game, their first,
to the Lodge Grass B team.
The local lads have since had
their revenge for that one spill,
however. In a game here re-
emily they showed Lodge Grass
under to. the tune of 40 to II.
Spectators who get to local
games in time to see the pre-
liminary contests are agreed
that the B team is much i'm
proved from the first of the
sea:on and offers much good
material for regular Bulldog
teams in the seasons to come.
Team members are as fol-
lows:
Center and forward - Glen
Kunau, Bert Kronmiller, Leroy
Fatorous.
Forward -, Gerry Ragland,
Eugene Croghan, Werner Fried,
John Dorm, Eugene McLaugh-
lin.
Center - Doug Pauley, Cor
don DeVore.
Guard - Cecil Holland, st.
Clair Ottun, James Haug, Vern-
on Collier, Sam Ragland.
Forward = guard - Robert
Armstrong, Charles May.
Coach Rimel says all the
boys have seen action during
the season. High scorers in re-
cent games have been Kunau
who racked up 10 each against
Custer B and Columbus B;
Kronmiller, who had IA against
Custer B and against Lodge
Grass B; Ragland and Haug.
The record for recent games
(all B squad unless otherwise
specified):
Custer IT, Hardin IS; Custe,
10, Hardin 81; Lodge Grass II,
Hardin 40; Columbus %, Hardin
80 (overtime); DeMolay 16

TWO TUSSLES

The Hardin Boosters won two
basketball games this week, de-
feating the Red Lodge Eagles
by a score of 46 to IS here
Sunday and taking the measure
of the Billings Sporting Goods
five. 43 to 38, on Tuesday eve
ming.
The battle with the Eagles
was a real thriller, with an
overtime period necessary to
reach a final decision.
The Boosters led until the
final quarter when the efforts
of Rae and Breuer brought the
Red Lodge quintet up to tie the
score when the final whistle
sounded, at Al each. Scores at
the ends of the other three
frames we're 10 to 7, 10 to 16
at the half and 81 to 80 at the
end of the third quarter, with
the Boosters always on the long
end of the score.
During the five minutes of
extra play, Krone and Jones
scored field goals and Krone
dropped a gift toss while the
Eagles could make only four
counters
High point man for the game
was Rae of the Eagles with IS,
closely followed by Krone of
Hardin with IA.

The Boosters, even without
the services of Ray Krone, had
a little difficulty defeating the
Billings Sporting Goods team,
43 to 38.
THE first half was a neck
and-neck affair, with the Boost
ers in the lead, 10 to 8, at the
end of the first quarter and the
score tied, II to II, at the half.
The local independents began
to pull away in the third peri
cd, however, taking the lead,
20 to 26.
Accuracy from the free-throw
line won the contest for the
Boosters, who made II out of
81 gift losses while the Billings
quint was able to connect for
only four out of 10. Jones, Har-
din forward, made six out of
eight free throws. Ward made
IS counters to earn the distinc-
ton of being high point man.

.S.IsSued for S3,926,025
In Loss Of Salmon CARGO
BY the Assoeioted Press

SEATTLE, Aug. 16.-Suit for
So 1926, ,025 was filed in Federal Court
today for the big canned salmon
cargo lost when the motorship Dia-
mond, Knot sank after a collision
with the steamship Fem Victory
in the Strait of Juan de Fuca three
days ago.
The action was brought by six
companies, owners of the cargo,
against the United States Govern

Hawaiian Steamship Co.. is owned
by the Maritime Commission. The
Diamond Knot had 108, ,946 cases of
salmon aboard.
