Good for Fair Sex.

The Saturday half holiday and the
observance of Sunday as a day of open
air recreation, a writer states, are
working powerfully and benefcially
toward health and longevity. Girls and
women stand peculiarly in need of
exercise, and activities which give
them an entirely new set of mental
and physical impulses. Gardening and
botanizing, motoring parties, eXcur-
sions, bird study, and all the things
that amuse and interest, including all
light athletic sports, especially if
these can be practiced in the open air,
are splendid.

HIGH CUNT AGAIN VICTORIOUS;
CROSBY BY SCORE OF
10 TO 10, AT THAT
PLACE

Crosby's high school basketball team
was administered a decisive defeat on
its own floor Saturday night by the To-
cal high school quint, the score being
10 to 10. The local players were nan.
dicapped somewhat by the size Of the
floor, it being considerable larger than
the gymnasium floor here.
The Crosby quint was in the lead at
the end of the first half, 8 to 7. But
in the second half the local boys got
the distances proportional better and
succeeded in netting the ball more reg
ularly than in the first half, when they
misjudged the distance to the baskets.
Twelve points were made by the locals
in the second half and they held their
opponents to two.
: S. Sims, Wands and Jackson did the
basket-shooting for the Little Falls
quint, but the other players also did ef-
fcient work and held their opponents
down splendidly.
