Last Thursday night th»' High
School Gym was the scene of three
fast basketball games. The first
game began promptly at seven o’
clock and was between the two
feminine teams composed of the
teachers and co-eds, the "Flames”
tr.d the “Sparks.” Doth teams sure
y more th;m lived up i<* their names
| for sliced and spark. The two teams
were very evenly matched and the
| guarding was so close during the
j lirst period of the play that it was
I almost impossible for the forwards

ing forward for the Flames evaded
her sparking 'spark guard, Emily

field baskets and which, with Agnes
, Otterson’s foul basket, brought the
; Flames’ score to five at the half
•'time. Mrs. Rynning playing a bril
Mia-nt all-floor game, scored twice for
'the Sparks and the score was 5—-4
* in favor of the Flames at the ending
i of the half. During the last h®lf
the Flames showed signs of weaken
ing and duo to the fast playing of
I Mrs. Rynning the center for the
Sparks, her team was able to run
jthe score to IV* while the Flames
scored on two baskets by Kunice
their final score to W. giving the
game to the Sparks. Eva Nicoli, for

game, ably assisting Mrs. Rynning. j

n. xt time, with a little more experi
ence. will succeed in altering the
|score to a very large extent*
The second game of the light
weight series opened immediately
following the girls’ game, and prov
ed right from the first an interesting
contest on both sides. In the first
half it seemed that the Cubs were to
have it very much their own way
again, by running up a large score
to start with. The team pla> of
Sather and Maynard, the two stellar
forwards of the Cubs, was unbeat
able. their guards seemed to be un
able to reach them once they had
Their hands on the ball. Swanberg
completed the scoring trio for the
Cubs and the three were able to run
up a score of 12 against the Pirates'
lu, the latter gaining most of their
points on foul baskets.
in the second half the tide of vic
tory seemed to slip from the Cubs,
and pass into the hands of the Pir
ates. Cavey and Lyle guarding for
the red shirts, played a game which
would be a credit to any team, in
that they completely smothered their
.men, aad the pass work and shoot
ing of the Cubs ru ruined by this'
form of defense. The two Pirate
forwards, now free from competi
tion on the floor proceeded to ring
:uj. a few for their aide. Thornes
and Gerhart were the actors in this
scene and seemed able to score from
any place on the floor. The Pirates
completely outplayed the Cubs in
every stage of the game, and the
final score ended 18 —26. The Cuba
were perhaps a little overconfident
and for this reason let the game slip,
but they will be on their toes next
week to regain their lead if they can,
which will be decided in the return
match for next week.
The a 1st game of the evening was
between the town team and the
heavy High School team. The game
was a much poorer contest tha<n tba
one put on the week before, for
there seemed- to be a general inclin
ation on the part of all the players
to play roughly, which made the
game a poor one to watch. The pass
work of both teams was fairly good
but the shooting ability seemed to
have dropped considerably which re
sulted in a great deal of rough-and
tumble on the floor. At the end of
the first half the game stood at 7-11.
in favor of the town team, the prin
ciple scoring being made by Fromm
of the School team and Ackley of the

Many of the men on the High
School team started the second half
with two or three personal fouls at
tached to their names and it was not
long until Hamlyn, playing center
for the school was barred from the
game, for rough play, by Umpire
Barnett. Bah Ike substituted for
Hamlyn, at center and Btehr went in
as guard. The poor play continued,
and one of the town team, Ackley,
was put out In the last quarter on

him at center. The. game ended a.

of 17-21. Lyle and BaWke both
played a good game In the last Qnav

guard and the latter as center. The
town loam outplayed the school in
almost every aspect of the game

I best team winning. The game gave

The work in the Library has been
progressing slowly but surely. Mr.
Rynning and students of the High
School have been working during
their spare time so that now over
two thirds of the books have been
marked and are in use again.
The books that are left are some
old text books which were discarded
from use a few years ago. These
books have been kept in the attic
out of the way. The text books that
have been adopted for use in the
school will be kept In the library
where they are easily accessible.
One copy of every hook, in * .'ding
the discarded textbooks, will be kept
in the library for reference and the
rest will be put in the attic again,
after they have been marked.
The Nome Public School is put
ting on a drive for books that can
be used in the library for reading
purposes. The drive will be open un
til Friday. March 28. During this
time we will greatly appreciate any
donations of books made by stud
ents. The purpose of the school in
doing this is to increase the circula
tion «of books, and to make the lib
the students among themselves a
chance to read more books by ex
changing them in thp library.
Margaret and Arthur Eide are
both absent from school owing to

LEVY ON PRIVATE BOOZE
STOCKS OF RICH PROPOSED
BY VOIJSTKAIVS VICTOR
Solon rharscH Wealthy Guzzle
Liquor While Man in Overalls
Cun’! Miike (inipe Wiiu*.
Washington. Jan. U---ltfy Uni
versal Service.)—The prohibition
its "father.” former Representative
Volstead, and its chief supporter, the •
Anti-Salo«>n League, came in for a
severe drubbing by Representative
O. J. Kvale, Independent, of Minne-I
sola. m the House today. j
Representative Kvale who defeat-1
ed Volstead, is a Lutheran minister'
and claims to be "drier” than his
predecessor. His complaint against
the prohibition law is that it is a j
law for the poor and a privilege for j
the rich, with consequent disastrous
effect upon the public regard for law
and the constitution.
Kvale’s speech today was in sup
port of his bill to turn the spotlight
of publicity on cellar stocks and to
levy a tax on such supplies at $10
for the first gallon and progressively
increasing at a rate of $1 additional
for each additional gallon.
Disavowing any support for the
measure .from .the .Anti-Saloon
League, the minister Congressman
"The bill is too ‘dry’ and too pro
gressive for that organisation, or
perhaps 1 should say for the leaders
of that organization.”
Attack* Volstead
Then turning bis attack to Vol
stead without mentioning him by
name. Kvale went on:
The national prohibition act.
sometimes erroneously and ridicu
lously named after a man who
never in all his life had given the
saloon or the liqtior traffic any
cause for worry that act, framed by
lawyers of the Anti-Saloon League,
was so framed and has so operated
since its enactment into a law as to
be a law for the poor and a privi
lege for the rich.
A person may have all the liquor
he wunts and may invite all his
friends and give them all they can
hold, and all the perfectly respect
able law abiding citizens., provided
only that he had money enough to
fill his cellar, all his cellars, with
high-priced liquors prior to the en
actment of this law.
And so we are witnessing . the
spectacle of many of our so-called
“better class” of people wallowing
in liquor because they had money
enough to provide the wherewithal
for the wallowing, and the poorer
class denied what many of them
consider a highly priced privilege
for the rich alone. Money provide*
the whiskey bath, the law provides
the immunity bath.
Low Standard
I protest that it is a mighty low
standard of ethics that makes it
perfectly legitimate and lawful for
the millionaire and his children to
guzzle down all the liquor demand-’
ed by the animal in them, and at
the same time makes it a crime for,
the man In overalls to make a gal
lon of grape wine. Any law that
makes a coveted privilege for the
rich man a crime for the poor man
Is a travesty on justice and a farce.
And this is one of the main reas
ons for the utter disregard for tbe
Eighteenth Amendment and the
national prohibition act.
We have endeavored to enact
Into law a double standard of mor
ality, one for the rich and another
for the poor. To mo lt is a, God's
wonder that there are still so wmvj
panyte In th« Ub!M4 SteMe wto
ha.p respect tor tbe J*w, tor any
