WINS FAST GAME

The best game of basket ball
seen on the local floor was pulled
off Saturday afternoon between
Casselton and Hope. Both teams
were in the pink condition and
played in their best form from
start to finish. In the first half
Hope had a little the best of the
argument and when the whistle
blew the score was Hope 16,
Casselton 9. In the second half
both teams kept working and
each side scored about the same
number of points. In the last
five minutes the visitors took 3
brace and Edwards, their star
man, shot three baskets which
made the score IS and 26 in favor
Of Hope, and in the last minute
the ball was held near Casselton's
goal and Edwards put another
through the ring winning the
game for the visitors q to 26.
The Casselton team is com
posed of a fine, clean bunch of
young men and are a credit to
their school.

"0bseuer' Offers Advice To Boys
By observer"

Because the boy of twelve to
eighteen years is inexperienced,
he does not welcome advice, and
if he knew who l am, he probab-
ly would form his opinion Of me
at once-that 1 am an old fossil
putting into other peoples
business. However, I am going
to give him some good advice in
this article, If he accepts it,
sometime, perhaps, he will rem.
ember the Pioneer and thank me
for it. If he doesn't accept it,
the loss is his.
The boy who is noisy and i'm
polite on the streets is making q
mistake in being so. He may
work himself up to a position of
high standing among his com.
panions-he may become the
bully of the BUNCH" but that
position is not worth striving for.
In fact, it is one to be avoided.
The business men of the town
are watching you, young man,
and it is to your interest, more by
far, to court their esteem than
that of your pals. You are grow
ing into manhood rapidly. Soon
you will be wanting employment.
Your conduct today determines
your chance of the future.
If we could read their minds,
there are, no doubt, several bust.
ness men in town this very day
who are needing a boy and who
are wondering what boy in town
is worthy to trust. You may be
too young for the position, now,
but such opportunities always
will be open. 1t remains only for
you to guard your chacter and
reputation that men may have
confidence in you when your time
comes. Men like a gentlemanly
boy. You don't need to be a
sissy" but you must not be
rude. Have all the fun you want,
but make sure that your ideas of
fun are not offensive to someone
else. Try to keep always in
mind that you are a boy and that
older people really do know what
is best. Respect their desires
acquire all the education you
can get, and your opportunity
will come.
