ISLAND POND
School Notes.

One might almost believe that
Saturdays game with North STRAIT
ford was an episode of a tercenten-
airy Shakespeare Pageant, so cleverly
did the locals stage "The Comedy of
Errors" But this was not the only
feature in which Island Pond eX-
celled; their hitting far surpassed
their opponents, and their persis-
tence and fight proved very efficient.
Suffering from a slight attack OF
stage fright in the first two innings,
our high school saw five big credit
marks chalked up against them be-
fore they broke the spell of somno-
lence. Special mention should be
made of the stella work of Clifford
Stevens on the mound; holding a
term to three hits is considered good
in any league.

That man never knows when he will be made the defendant in a divorce suit is evidenced by the fact that a perfect" hus- band has just been sued in such action by his wife in Brooklyn, New York According to his own testimony he worked every day, stayed home every night, saved his money, bought home, gave his wife SlOO every Christmas, never took vacation, never saw a ball game, never went to the theater, never attended clambake or picnic of any kind, never drank or smoked or chewed, never failed in faithfulness and affection to his wife The chances are that if he had not been so saintly, but had gone home a few times and sat his wife on the cookstove, smashed the clock and paraded around with chips on both shoulders, he might have re- tained both the respect and affections of his wife. Still, we would not recommend the stove act except in extreme cases and even then We would not care to have it known that the advice came from Us,
Douglas Island news., 1916-09-01

It is a fact that the majority of war news published these days is as wholly unreliable as it was in the early stages of the conflict. Then it was hand-plcked and it has been hand-picked ever since It all depends on where the news originates which side is get ting the best of it. Thus far there is nothing authentic to indicate that either side has weakened one iota or to indicate that either side is anxious for cessation of hostilities. We do not believe the rigid press censorship established in the early stages of the war gained anything for anybody.
