DIXIE MINISTRIES
VIII be First Company to Grace
Boards at City Hall

A keen interest is being felt in local
circles over the coming of the Dixie
Ministrels which will appear at the City
Hall Thursday January 2lst. This at
traction is an all-colored group of per-
formers having some remarkable sing
ers and dancers with them, featuring
the Invincible Four, which is the high
est salaried colored act in the country
being wonderful singers apd instrument
alists.
In addition to this there are several
acts of merit, such as the Dixie Sere-
naders who are engaged at the Panama
Exposition starting March 1st, and are
contracted with this attraction uutil
then. The chorus of pretty creole girls
with their many changes of costumes
make most striking appearance. This
attraction carries the only band an or
chestra Of its kind in the world, having
a blind learer and director, but he is a
wonderful musician.

WOMAN'S CLUB
Delayed Report on the Regular
Club Meeting


The Woman's Club met December 1S
at the home of Mrs. R. ]. Lennon.
On account of the absence from town
of Mrs. Schwaner, the Club reporter,
the interesting meeting was not written
up at the proper time. The subject of
the afternoon was Books. Mrs. Crosby
gave review of the book, THE Inside
OF the Cup" The author, Winston
Churchill, tries to show that many
churches do not display true Christian
spirit. He pictures men who are strong
supporters of the church, who oppress
their fellow men by paying low wages,
and by permitting failures in enterprises
which will ruin the weaker stockholders.
The story has timely message and
should be widely read. A very human
story runs through the book, keeping
the interest to the end.
After the program some business
matters were considered. Two new
were voted into the club.
No meeting was held on New Years
day, the regular time for a meeting.
The next meeting will be on January
18th with Mrs. Gorrow and Mrs. Taper
as hostessess The meeting will prob
ably be At the home of.Mrs Gorrow.

BASKET BALL GAME
Two Local Teams Meet In First
Game of Season

The All-Stars and the Richfield basket
ball teams met in q most sensational
game at the city hall on Wednesday
evening that has been seen in Richfield
for months. Owing to the difference in
size, and the foot ball facts, the Richs
field team won by scors of 80 to 33,
although there il some doubt as to the
correct count Had it not been for the
All-Stars weakness in team work they
would have been able to hold the Rich
field team down to an even score or
probably heat them. 'Slim" was the
favorite of the All-Stars and showed =
lot of his old time form in the short
time they played. Barnes and Gwin
were strong fsvorites on the other team
by their clean playing and knowledge
of the game. Verne Williams acted ~
referee and his decisions were good,
although some thought he did not call
all the fouls. Richfield teams next
game will probably be with HALEY.
They also expect return game with
Shoshone in the near future.
