gine. They are asking for the sin
cere cooperation of the people. The
plan is to organize in Milton a fire
company of young men and to make
it second to none in the State. The

cessful business men who are en-
thused over the plan and are deter
mined to make the project a success.

H. l.. Stavig informs us that he

present that was something out of
the ordinary, and one which he ap-
preciated very much 1t may seem
strange for one to be telling of
Christmas presents at this time, but
we are INCLINED to believe that 1t
will have an element of news not
withstanding. 1t was rather in this
way. Mr.. Stavig has very indus
trious old hen among his flock, it
seems, and not content to wait in
idleness until warm weather to hatch
eggs. proceeded to get together the
desired number and start business
with the result that on Christmas
day Mrs. Hen found herself the
proud mother Of a dozen new born
chicks. This is also another good
argument in favor OF the exception
ally open winter we are enjoying
in these parts.

OLD MAN WINTER IN
NEW ROLE; NOW DOING
THE JAZZ AND SKINNY

Verify, the ways of winter are
past understanding. He hath indeed
entered on a new age. For instead
of shaking his hoary head, and by
his austere presence compelling us
in by our firesides, he flingeth aside
all decorum and doeth the shimmy
i'm front Of our windows. He hurl-
eth December and January into the
scrap heap, and calleth forth March
with her breezes and April with her
tears to come and Jazz with him.
He mixeth up the calendar until
Father Time shaketh his scythe at
him and threateneth him with chas-
tisement. But for answer he heap
eth the sand and gravel in windrows
on the pavement, and tosseth the
little boys into the slippery cutters.
He maketh the men to chase their
Stetsons down the avenue where
the little streamlets gambol as after
summer rain. and he acteth in all
manner like unto an uNtrammeled
youth. For verify, this is a giddy
age, and old winter hath proven
himself young enough to lay hold
Of some Of its giddiness.

Saturday night and took both on
posing teams into camp. The girls
game ended in score of four TO
three in our favor, and was one of
the best games ever seen in that hall
The game was feateured by fast
passing and good guarding and very
few shots were allowed on either
side, but due to the superior work
on free throws, the home team put
in two points to Effington's one and
thereby won by one point.
The boys game was wrestling
match from start to finish and at
times the crowd became rather iI-
ritated due to the way they thought
their men were fouled, but as a
whole was a fine crowd to play
against.

team in baskets, chalking up four
field goals and three free throws to
his credit, and Reggie did the heavy
work for Sisseton, throwing them
around in remarkable manner and
