animous. Last week the independent
of Osnabrock aided the project of run.

support. Now's the time to push the
thing to a point where it cannot be
pigeon-holed until another year. Those
who want the Sunday train service on
this branch to become reality must
help by pushing it along and not depend
altogether on the accomplishment of the
project through newspaper talk.

EDITOR MCCARTHY drops marble
hearted hint to some of the slow going
who are not gated up to the pace that
Milton has struck of late. He says that
those who are afraid the town is grow

said to the would-be basketball team
You must hire your own COACH and the
result was that these little girls hired

Speaking Of aale injuries which some
times result from basketball, Miss Hnl
says: Il received a letter recently from
a mother whose daughter has had her
heart so strained in playing basketball
that for a year she has not been able
to do anything. I do not believe that
there should be any game in existence
for girls where accident is expected or
counteuanced. That game should have
no countenance. no support. Where girl
expects that she may hurt herself"
Concerning competitive games for girls.
and basketball I'm particular. Miss Hill
says: I'VE want exercise which refresh
es them and does not drain their vitality.
Therefore competition for girls should be
very moderate indeed. Personally, IDEAL
ly. I believe that exercise for girls should
be practically without comueItiom A
