Schafer, aided by the team work of Tully, scored three goals In this half of the game, one pretty one being loudly applaud ed. After Alliance had scored 24 points there was a long period In which neither team soared, and the first, half closed with a basket, each from Schafer and Spacht. In the second half Beach was giv en Tully s place In the forward posi tion. Lodgepole's first point was made when Keegon fouled and Heng 8ton scored his throw. Only two fouls were called by Referee Clem ents in the game, both offenders be ing Alliance men. Hengston took Bruner's position as forward In the second half, but the latter wa re placed when Barlow suffered nn In jury to tils nose, which was broken in a previous game. The first and only field goal for the visitors was made by Heiig,ston. who shot from the enter of the field. The game closed shortly after Darnell scored and brought 'the score up. to 60 for Alliance. The local team this year is one of the strongest, and lias some of the best material, that has ever been in the A. H. S. Under the direction of Mr. Clements the team Is winning by large margins, and although beaten at Sidney this year, expect to turn the tables on that team a week from Saturday, at the Hiigh School gymnasium.

Dear Kditor: As per request, I am glad to Rive my reason for Imv oriiin the election of postmasters. No officii.! m nearer ihe people in pie offlciftl duties, yr further from them in lbs metlifxl of his selection. The only law w have on, the sub Ject says ihe pftMWMil with the ton sent of the senate shall appoint. He turns this over to his assistant in the post office department who according to the old way upoo. the recommend of the con 'fe'l'essman or senator of his party. These men rely upon the precinct county and state chairmen of their party. The pre in t chairmen favors .b friend and opposes his enemies, the same thing prevailing all along the line. Political expedW lic and selfishness are the first considera tions, the publics Interest Is second ary. One resident and a few non resident politicians pacticnlly name this official, with more regard for self than the public. It is so un n pres ntatlve as to make one won der why it has Bo long been tolerat ed. Since w have arranged f r an election at Merna, some complain, and others who never took the pains to learn how ikkM masters get their appointments, wonder and inquire where the law for such an eiec lion. My answer is. there is no law for It or aieainst It. Neither is there anv for the old method.
