The frost has penetrated to such an
unusual depth that the water mains
are frozen in some places. Especially
is this the case where pipes terminate.

Quite crowd from here, including
the ST. Edwards basket ball team,
went to Thompsonville Monday even
ing to see the basket ball game be-
tween the fast 23d street New York
team and the st. Joes. 1t proved an
interesting game, with the score of
121 to Al, in favor of the New York
team. Of those who went from here
quite few went in single teams, and
a party started in Gary's wagonette.
The icy condition of the highway
made travel unsafe, and the wagonette
was continually Slowing into the gut
ter. About one mile this side of Som
the wagonette swung around
to the gutter and broke the rear axle
tree. Dana Gary was in charge, and
at the next house he borrowed an OK
sled of farmer with which to con-
tinue the trip. No accidents to the
other teams are reported.
The basket ball game last Thursday
evening was fast and clean game,
but rather one-sided. The st. Jo-
seph's of Thompsonville were all old
players and were too heavy for the st.
team and won by score of
25 to 9. This was the first defeat met
by the st. Edwards team, with the
exception of the half played with the
Helyokes ON Thanksgiving day. This
is the first year for st. Edwards, but
they have played an unusually strong
game. The line-up:-
