The closed door program of the
literary society was postponed until

Collyer was well represented at the
Sunday School convention held in the
Banner church Sunday. Several cars
conveyed those present to and from
their destination. The program was
perhaps one of the best we ever had
occasion to attend in a community
church. Mr.. Niesley's talk on
"Things Worth While'' contained
many valuable thoughts. Mr.. Court
ney is certainly deserving of mention
in this connection. We are glad his
Methodist class has such a good
product to crown as teacher.
The Pathfinder commenting on the
election says: The elections this
hcan landslide, but certainly most
significant and potentious realign-
ment of public sentiment in this
country. The results carry a number
of lessons. In the first place it has
made clear that the people are taking
the reformers at their word and are
thinking and acting for themselves.
They are not blindly obeying Neither
''bosses'' or leaders. This is thus
not a victory for any persons or par
ties but rather a victory of the peo-
pie and of principles. AMI this is
we'll.
- Collyer makes another splash" in
the basket ball arena. Quinter was
relegated to defeat In the game of
Friday night. This is the second game
of the season between the towns. The
boys played good clean game all the
way through. Allison developed a
Charley horse in the first half and
was unable to control the ball in the
latter. Burnham's playing proved
disastrous TO the Tigers" giving
Collyer some sixteen points. Ma
chine work was present during the
entire game. Enthusiasm was not
lacking. The High school rooters
occupied their places on the benches
straining their vocal chords with
applause. Even the fair damsels
from Quinter began to absorb some
of the melodious strains. The fina
score was thirty-three TO eighteen in
favor of Collyer.
