the methods employed by amusement
houses for accounting their war
taxes, and of explaining doubtful or

Tomorrow on the gridiron at Sioux
Falls the boys of the Madison high
school will meet the high school team
of that city in a spirited football de-
bate. The team of the Sioux Falls
institution is bending every effort to
make themselves letter perfect in
their tactics and physical condition,
according to reports emanating from
that city. They expect a hard grind,
and shall not be disappointed. They
have a wholesome respect for the
Madison bunch, partly through the
record recently made by our team
with the Bookings braves, which is
recognized as being a most excellent
fighting bunch, and is also recognized
as being evenly matched with our
boys. This t~urkey-day game is antic-
ipated with pleasure by the sport
boys of the Sioux Falls school.
