DOUGLAS NOTES

Considerable activity has been man, ifested this week by the various teams turning out for basket ball practice at the Natatorium. Both the High School boys and girls have been playing hard to make places on the teams which will represent their schools in games which may be arranged with other Channel teams next month.
 On account of New Years falling on the first Monday of the next month, the Douglas Parent-Teachers' Association will meet in the school house one week later, January 8. An interesting program is assured.
 The passing of the old year will be more generally observed through out the Island than New Years eve since that event falls on Sunday. All arrangements are completed for the New Years Ball at Treadwell tomorrow night.

WAR IS BLAMED BY
 REloI FOR HIS TROUBLE

DOUGLAS, Dec. 29.-That the Eur -cpeen war is working hardships else where than in Europe is evidenced by a statement made this morning by Joe Reidi who was yesterday named as defendant in a suit brought in the Territorial court at Juneau by Victoria Reidi who claims the sum of $6O per months since the first of the year, 1914 Mr. Reidi explains that the monthly allowances have been paid by him but that, ow- ing Go the fact that the money has gone to Germany. it has not reached there on account of the embargo placed on all mail destined for Germany not only from the States, but from all other countries. which mail must pass through the ports of her enemies. Mr. Reidi says he has receipts for the monthly allow ances sent by hiIn through the banks and he feels that the state ments made to the effect that he has not attempted to pay such allow ances. the same being for his aged mother in Germany, is an injustice b him as her son and as business man. MT. Reidi is a man of some means end he wishes 1t understood that he is perfectly able to pay, not only these monthly bills. but all oth- CT just accounts owed bg him.

The Sauk Centre high school foot
ball team opened its playing season
last Saturday at the fair grounds by
trouncing Long Prairie high school
team to the tune of 67 to 0. The
locals completely outclassed the Todd

fense in the short time the squad had
been out and the aggregation gives
promise of making all teams in this
section hustle to beat them. Lee,
Pangburn, Farr and Allen were pow
erful and fast in carrying the ball
and backed up the line strongly in
secondary defense. The locals lined
up as follows: Lee, lie; Brophy, 1t;
Bentfield, lg; Dewey, c; Gamradt, rg;
Fish, rt; Barry, re; Pangburn (Capt.)
