st. Thomas football team came to Penn
bina last Saturday and met the ST. Vim.
cent team and found themselves COM
pletely outclassed. The st. Thomas
team are mostly high school boys while
the ST. Vincentites have five or six men
who have played in the teams Of colleg-
es. In fact st. Vincent though small
village happens to have foot ball az.
gregation that would be hard to get to
gether in small city, and they are all
actual residents Of St. Vincent township,
and we would like to see them with a
little more training tackle ''some one OF
their size" like the Cup or Grafton. St.
Thomas did not hold the St. Vincent
team down nearly as we'll as did the
scrub team Of Pembina on the Tuesday
previous. In the Tuesdays game the ST.
Vincent team had to work hard to get
one goal with score of six. while
in Saturdays game they had but little
difficulty in making score Of 81 to 0.
st. Thomas has good team but they
are too light for such a heavy lot as ST.
Vincent has this season.
We suggest, that we in common with
many other parents do not believe it is
proper thing to allow any person, how
ever worthy, to go to the school room
and take the time and attention Of the
Of the children for the purpose Of adver-
Using that persons business and that it
is especially aggravating to the parents
and nuisance to the public when the
person is allowed to induce the children
to sell tickets for him. If Mr. Short or
Mr.. Full or any OF our business men
should attempt to do business on the
same lines in they would be stopped at
once. If the children are to have show
OF their own connected with the school
1t would be perfectly proper for them to
sell tickets, but outsiders should be
barred. We are not blaming the gentle
who availed himself of the opportunity
this week; if he can induce the people
to allow him to USE the children, that is
his business, but we think it would be a
good idea for the school board to pass
resolution on the subject.
We have on our subscription list sew
eral kinds OF peop'e. There. is one kind
that we expect to either call in pers N or
write at just certain date in each year.
and who will not vary this custom more
than one or two weeks. There is anoth.
er class that will call on us or write us
sometime during the year. There is an
other class that calls or writes every once
in while. Then there is another class

have good crop and the paper bill has
got so large that they think the printer
must need it. Then there is still another
class-that pass by on the other side
always. These remarks are engendered
by the pleasant visit of one of the first
kind-who has yearly called at the Office
within week of the time when his SUBJ
scription was due, for 10, these r1auy
years, and whose visit is always thought
of as sort Of red letter day in our year,
not because of the money paid, but be-
cause Of his promptness and regularity,
with all that the act implies for us and
for him. This old subscriber IS Mr..
Louis LaDoux, of Neche, who is now
81 years of age and whom we hope to
welcome many more times on or about
the 18th month and 10th day of each
year.
