Next Friday evening there is to be
a Boys Basket Ball game in the High

The Boys Basket Ball game which
was played in the High School Gym
last Saturday was certainly full of
life and the Scotland boys ave the
Yankton aggregation all they wanted
and a little more as the score of &c

game of basket ball, but the close

easily won the game for the local
boys. The following bows represent.

and grunting quite hard, said:

Miss Ham.

in the pen."
"Thank you," said Pinky.
"Well," said. Miss Ham, II will go
right off and see Mrs. Pinky and will
ask her how she enjoyed her little
meal"
sit is too horrible to think that
mother pigs will become nervous and
will feel ill and that they will not
think of their little ones as comfort,
but will eat them up" said Pinky Pig.
And all the other pigs agreed, ex-
cept Miss Ham, who said she could I'M
derstand, and went off to tell Mrs.
Pinky so.
But all the pigs in the pen said they
were thankful that their mothers
hadn't felt that way about them when
they were born.

One insistent demand of Germany,
that she be admitted at once to mem
bership In the league of nations, it was
said would not be granted, for the
French were unalterably opposed to
this, and Mr.. Wilson, according to re-
ports, had gradually come around to
their view Of keeping Germany out OF
the league until she has become regen-
Grated and proved her sincerity. There
are not wanting influential persons and
journals that argue for the immediate
admission Of Germany, basing the plea
mainly on the allegation that the good
will and early restoration to prosperity
of that country are necessary to the
safety and economic progress Of the
rest of the world. They call attention,
with shivers of apprehension, to the
imminent danger of Germany's form
ing an alliance with Japan and Rus
STA, and this was backed up last week
by more or less precise statements
that the Japanese and German ennis
saries already had been holding con-
ferences in various neutral places. A
good deal Of this sort of stuff may be
put down to pro-German propaganda,
more active just now than for some
time past, as witness the recent doings
of the "Germanamerican Citizens
league" with headquarters in Chicago.
