The high school base ball track
teams will 60 to Lake Benton Saturday
for a dual meet and ball camel with
the high schools teams of that town.
The two track teams appear to be
very evenly matched, Judging from
their performances in last Fridays
meet, and an interesting contest
should result.
There are people who are so mean
and misery that they are unable to
keep competent help, yet they are so
blind to their own shortcomings that
they are always trying to get clean,
capable and trustworthy employees
away from conside-ate employers.
They not only fail, of course, but
become the laughing stock Of all
decent employees and employers.
Most OF the travellers from here to
Minnesota points buy tickets only as
far as Verdi or Lake Benton and from
there buy tickets to their destination,
thus taking advantage OF the 2 cent
fare in Minnesota. The . cent fare in
Minnesota applies only where a ticket
is purchased from one point in the
state to another, and the full three
cents per mile can be collected for a
ticket from Bookings to Minneapolis.
The First Annual Senior Glass
Promenade at the South Dakota State
College, which took place at the

: by those present as being one OF the
pleasantest class functions ever given
in the history of the college. No
pains were spared to make it all that
was desirable in a social way and
: those in charge have every reason to
feel proud OF the manner in which
everything was conducted.
We are in receipt OF a communication
from the manager Of the Cakes, n. d.,
base ball team in which he states that
he would like to hear from good,
reliable, and strictly sober ball players
who are DESTROYS of signing for the
season. North Dakota will be alive
with ball teams this year as every
little town in the state is out after
good players. This state evidently
has not got the fever 30 badly, and
there will be but two or three teams OF
any consequence.
