fully ask the support of all the peo-
pie in this vicinity who are in the
habit of attending dances.
In Regard to the Dances
We have gone to great deal of
trouble and expense in staging the
Company dances and with TO profit
to ourselves. We have made every
effort to obtain tie best possible mu-
sic and have spared no expense.
This is the first time that it has ever
been possible to hold dances on a
large scale in this city. People who
have wanted to attend dances of this
character have been compelled to go
to surrounding towns. The expense
of putting on our dances is not gen
orally appreciated. For instance, the
music alone for the Thanksgiving
dance cost us $4,000. Whether or
not the dances are to be continued
rests with the dancing public. If
they can be made to pay their way we
will continue to hold them. If, or the
other hand, they continue to be IL
ability instead of an asset, they must
as matter of course be discontin-
ued. In connection with the dances
we wish to state that the manage
ment is open to any honest criticism
at any time. If you have any sug-
gestion as to improvements or bet
temnents we want them. 1t is our
desire to have the dances run in as
clearly way as possible. What APP
peals to one does not to another, and
we want to do the thing which will
please the greatest number of our
patrons.
The Most Popular Lady Contest"
There will be a dance held on Fri
day, the 21st of January. At this
dance the prize will be awarded to
the winner in "The Most Popular
Lady Contest" Remember the date
and lay your plans so that you will
be able to attend.
Basket Ball Team Starts Season
On Tuesday evening the Basketball
team of Co. ga" played the fast Ar
my & Navy Club team of Saltwater
in that city. Although our team
came away with the small end of the
score, there was no disgrace attached
to the defeat. The final score was
20 to rs. 1t was one of the fastest
games of basketball seen in this neck
of the woods for some time. The
Saltwater aggregation is a fast one,
made up of stars. Co. "a" has no
excuse to offer for its defeat. The
team feels, however, that when they
get the A & Ms on the Armory floor
that the outcome will be different.
The return game will be played here
on Saturday evening, Jan. 9th. Spec
tators will be assured game full of
action from the ring of the gong to
the final pistol shot. The game will
be called at nine o'clock.
A game is scheduled with the team
of the 18th Separate Co. N. of Me-
nomonie for early in January. The
exact date will be announced next
week. There is some probability of
it's being pulled off on New Years
night, Jan. 1.
