Eagles Keep Record Unblemished
Last week end the Sidney Ea-
giles again upset the applicant of
the pre-game Projectors, this
time stopping Great Falls Central
52-39 and Havre 59-46 for their
eighth and ninth Glass A victor
les. Both games were played away
from home and in both in spite
OF their record Sidney had been
picked by many to lose.
Actually, in support of the
sports announcers and writers
Sidney is the big surprise of
Montana's 1888 basketball.
Having graduated four of the
starting five which won the State
Glass A title last year, Sidney
wasn't expected to be as strong.
They haven't shown the total
scoring punch as some other Sid
ney teams, but on the other hand
points allowed the opposition is
probably the lowest of any Kan
gas coached team. Sidney, in con-
ference play has averaged 56.8
points per contest while limiting
their opponents to just 44.8 per
game. The highest score against
the Eagles was 81 by Glendive.
Sidney's total was rs against the
same club in the same game.
Sidney continued their jinx ov-
er Great Falls Central last Fri
day night. The Mustangs haven't
beaten the Eagles since early in
1856.
The locals took a 1873 first
quarter lead but saw this soon
vanish. For the next two quar-
tiers 1t was anyone's game altho
the Eagles continued to hold a
slight margin. At halftime it was
29-25 and 1888 going into the
final canto.
Sidney went into their control
type ball In an effort to draw
out the Mustangs defense and the
move paid off. OF the winners,
IA points in the last eight min
utes Ron Quilting contributed IL.

Dun & Bradstreet
Report County
Business Concerns

Each January business concerns
In all parts of the United States
receive from Dun & Bradstreet
requests for their annual finan-
cial statements. This year the
number of requests going out
nationwide will approximate
three million, with over 100 60
ing to Richland county business
men.
The growth and the industrial
development of Richland county
is reflected in statistics just re-
leased by the credit reporting
firm. r. F. Rollins, manager, at
Billings which covers this area,
says that this lear there win be
more requests for financial state
ments made of business concerns
in Richland county than ever be-
fore.
The January 1858 section of the
current issue of the Dun & Brad
street Reference Book contains
hstings. of 100 local names COM
prising manufacturers, wholesal-
ers, and retailers. II does not in
clude some of the service and
professional businesses, such as
barber and beauty shops, real es-
tate and stock brokers. Thus the
figure for businesses in Richland
county would actually be higher
than the 100 quoted above.
Better than 95 per cent of all
commercial transactions in the
United States II made on credit
terms and the buyer and the SELL
er are brought together by means
of credit information.
When the owner of a business
or his accountant returns his fl
nancial statement to Dun 4 Brad
street, the owner has taken the
first step in establishing his re-,
sponsibiliy as a seeker of credit.
AS one phase in revising credit
ratings and keeping them up to
date, each year the credit re-
porting agency writes to all BUSH
neSses who are listed in the ref
erence book to request their year
end balance sheets. Rollins says
that this letter speeds up the flow
and processing of some of the
facts on which credit ratings are
based.
The credit rating is one of the
key factors in approving orders
to ship or sell. The ratings con-
sist of two symbols the first, a
d the alphabet, indicates
the financial strength or tangible
net worth of the business. The
second symbol Is a number. 1t
reflects a composite appraisal Of
the background, operations, fl
nancial stability and payment
record.
While credit reports are pri-
marily used by businessmen who
want to evaluate the credit risk
before shipping or selling, in
surance underwriters also use
credit reports to review risks,
and coverage for fire insur-
ance.

Pea Association
Buys Stock In
Fed. Credit Bank

The Glendive Production Credit
Association and 20 similar associ-
atoms in the four northwest
states have just purchased another
100000 block of stock in the
Federal intermediate Credit Bank
of Spokane.
This stock purchase program,
Cecil Lafond, secretary-treasurer
of the local association, explain
ed, was instituted a year ago un-
der the Farm Credit Act of 1856
and will, when completed, give
the Production Credit Associa-
tons their own bank of discount
through which they obtain the
| funds they loan to their farmea
and rancher members.
The 80 peas in Idaho, Mon
tana, Oregon and Washington, on
January l., 1857, paid the first
of three equal installments on an
initial investment of $1,204,47O in
Credit Bank stock, Mr.. Lafond
said. The second payment was
made the first of this month and
the third payment will be made
January l, 1859. After complet-
ing this initial cash investment,
the peas will, over a period of
years acquire complete ownership
through patronage refunds out of
bank earnings.
AS the investment of peas ac-
cumulates, government stock will
be retired. The credit bank was
fully capitalized by the govern
ment from its organization in
1928 until the peas started their
purchase program a year ago.

Grain Support
Deadline Is
January 31st

january 81 VIII be the last
day farmers can secure price sup
port loans and purchase agree
ments on 1957-crop commodities,
Leo S. Kolstad, State ASC Ad-
ministrative officer, said this
week.
AL necessary inspections must
be made and papers signed by
that date, he emphasized. Be-
cause of this requirement coun-
ties have established a deadline
two weeks ahead Of January 81
for accepting applications for
loans on farm-stored grains. APP
plications made after this pre-
liminary deadline could not be
accepted because data on sam
pies would not have time to be
returned from the State Labora-
tory by January 81.
Loans are made on both farm
and warehouse-stored wheat, bar
ley, oats, rye and flaxseed and on
dry, edible beans stored in ware
houses. Purchase agreements are
available on all these commodi-
ties.
Testing and inspection of ware
house-stored commodities and
commodities covered by purchase
agreements is not required.
Therefore, applications for support
on commodities in these categOr-
les can be accepted almost until
the final day but producers r
urged to apply as early as pos
sible TO avoid any last minute
rush and consequent financial
loss that might be incurred II an
application cannot be processed
by January 81.

gram, including support prices,

at WiIiston Fri;
Whip Mustangs, Ponies

Sidney takes a well deserved
rest from conference play this
week end but will journey to
Williston for a montague con-
test. The Eagles rest will give
the other nine teams in Glass A
a chance to catch up, however,
in total games played, only.
The two victories last week
over Great Falls Central and
Havre stretched the locals con-
ference winning streak to nine
for the season and more solidly
entrenched them in first place.
In second place are the Billings
Central Rams with a 6-1 record.
Their only loss was to the lead
ers. Tied for third are Havre and
Miles City at Az followed by
Great Falls Central (3-3), Laur-
ell (3-4), Glasgow 800, Hardin
(2-5), Glendive (1-5) and Lewis
town (0-7).
The game February 7 between
the Rams and Sidney Eagles
looms more important with each
weeks action. Not that Billings
is the only five capable of stop
ping the locals but at the present
they r in a very challenging
runnerup spot. The Rams were
the preseason pick to take top
honors and certainly are point
ing for their game with the Ea-
giles on the Billings floor.
Sidney, on the other hand,
would be wise to keep in mind
their game February l with Laur-
ell. 1t was this team that came to
Sidney just a year ago and caught
the also then 'shigh flying eagles
on an off night and dumped them.
That loss was followed by two
more to give Sidney its longest
losing string in many years.
Coach Tob Kangas' squad pres
emily holds the enviable position
of first place. With just half their
Is game schedule completed each
and every game remaining will
be tough. All teams down to the
last will point for the leader. AS
has been said many times, usually
it is harder to remain the leaders
than it was to get there in the
first place.
The game this week end should
be a thriller. Both Williston and
Sidney have won one in tw<
previous meetings. The Eagle.
took the opening game of the sea-
son 47-41 and the Coyotes won
the Holiday Tourney 1886. Both
games were played on the Sidney
floor.
Sidney must devise a defense to
stop the Coyotes big center, Lar
ry Hanson. This 6'3 junior made
II field goals and three free
throws in the last game.
The Eagles of curse want to
win this one if only to avenge
the tourney loss. However, much
may depend on the ability of Bob
Jensen to recuperate from an
ankle injury suffered in the Great
L ais game. ne Is expected 10 see
some action.
Regarding the Coyote game,
Coach aKngas said earlier in
the week: "Of course we will be
out to win this one, but because
it is non-conference we won't
stress it as much as if it was
within our own league"
Williston, in their conference
has won six and lost three. Last
week they lost to the highly re-
garded Minot team and won over
The two B squads will play the
preliminary and the freshmen
teams will play an afternoon
game. Coach Don Standings team
