DOUBLE HEADER.

Saturday night there will be 40
games in this city, and one may see
both games for the price Of one
The Malad City high school will
tangle with American Falls schoIas-
tics. and the Aberdeen team will
play with the Athletics of this city
Considerable interest attaches to
both these games. On the part of
the Athletics there Is a burning
desire to remove the stigma of de-
feat administered by the Aberdeen
boys on Monday, and the high schooi
is most earnestly desirous of re-
trieving its lost reputation as
winner of baske- ball games. The
games will be played in the Audi
torium, and so cents will admit one
to a point of vantage on the lower
floor. and for 25 cents one may
view the carnage from aloft.

RIGBY BEATS OUR BOYS,

On Saturday evening the Rigby
high school team defeated the Am
erlcan Falls high school five 43 to
25 on the Auditorium floor in this
city. The first half was fairly close
the score standing 13 to 10 when
the intermission came, but in the
last half, although the locals show
ed brief flash of form and went
in the lead 4 to 13 once, the visi-
tors put on a burst of speed that
had the home boys guessing, and
ran the score up almost at will
Many of the spectators will long re-
member, as particularly horrid
nightmare, the spectacle of a weaz-
ened youth from Rigby, standing
unguarded in the very shadow of
the basket and laying the ball in tha
ring almost uninterrup ptedly. 1t was
a sad sight, and We hope it will
not soon be repeated. Because of
a hunk of mince pie, injudiciously
eaten just before the game, Law
renee Watts, one of the local play
ers, was attacked with cramps dur
ing the game, and had to quit. His
place was taken by "Meeny' Evans
who, while very small, is veritable
speed marvel. A large crowd saw
the game.

Crayton l.. Hawkins died in the

death. but other ailments, attendant
upon his advanced age, IS years,
were a4sO contributing causes His

POSTPONENfENT.

We will bet a mess of greens
against setting of duck eggs that
more basket ball games are post
poned in American Falls than in
any town of similar size in the
world. Three times this year have
games been scheduled for this
town, advertising matter circulated,
hall rented. and everything gotten
ready, when suddenly We learn the
other team has failed to keep its
agreement. Twice the Blackfoot high
school has offended, once when it
could not be helped, and once when
the school board got a businesslike
and virtuous streak and refused to
let the bovs leave the tender care
and protection of the teachers and
the foresaid school board in mid
week. This last disappointment
came yesterday, and called off the
game scheduled for last night. To
say that Professor Wallis and the
boys were disappointed would be
expressing it mildly. They had in
tended giving Blackfoot the thump-
ing that Rigby was entitled to. but
which was lost in transit or some
thing.

ON RAISING DAUGHTERS.

The mother who allows a sixteen
year old daughter to float around
the township in top buggy with a
counterfeit sport, with a weak jaw
and weaker morals. merely opens
the door to grief and disgrace. II
you don't know what company your
girl keeps or what time OF the
night she turns in. your roar, when
the gossips get busy will sound
about as pathetic as the wheeze of
a jewsharp. The girl who insists
upon spooning with everybody in
the corporate limits ought TO be
backed into a woodshed and re-
lieved of her overflow of affection
with No. II slipper laid careless
ly across the hfplets. We would
rather see q girl kiss blind shoat
through a barbed wire fence than
have her change partners six nights
week in the front parlor with
the lights turned low. 1t IS much
harder TO marry off girl who has
been paved over by every yap in
the community than it is TO fatten
q sheep on pine apple ice cream.
You can't gold brick q sharp eyed
suitor with second hand goods any
more than You can fit bath robe
on a goat. There are lots of weak
minded parents who are going TO
against the judgment day with
about as much show as crosseyed
girl at beauty show, and their
children will rise up and call them
blessed with the enthusiasm of
one legged man at a club dance Elk.
