No PlCniClnq at Tourist Park

Complaints have been coming in this
week of Milbank people using the
tourist camping park for family
gatherings and picnics, thus occupy
ing the tables and benches intended
for the use OF travellers, and countrv
folks who may wish to bring along
their dinner or lunch and partake o;
the same in the park. The park or
the old court house grounds can be
used by Milbank people for picn;cs
or gatherings, and if necessary and
advisable tables and benches will be
provided there, but I kindly request
that tourists be not interfered with
or crowded out of the tourist park.

asts have started movement to Sc
cure skating rink during the past
week and we understand that they
have secured the two lets east of the
Ford garage which are owned by Mar
tens Brothers as site for the rink.
The city has agreed to furnish the
water as it has done III the past for
Kinks, end it looks as tho their efforts
are to be successful.
Plans are underway to have a warm
ing house, where the skaters can put
on their skates or take them off with
some degree of comfort. The rink
will be great thing for the children
of the city, whose parents will not let
them go. to the pond 10 skate. Two
years ago the High school property
was flooded for the use of the chill
dren. Last year, the open fall and
winter made fine skating on the pond,
and i large crowd of young people
took advantage .aof It every night.
This year the early SHOWS have made
skatinr. there impossible.

Young Beck evidently started to

when crossing the river channel he
broke thru the thin ice. Margaret
Douthitt happened to see him go down

he had only fallen. When he did not

EXIT FOOT. BALL
Enter BASKET. BALL

The unfavcrable weather condi-
tions we're responsible for the calling
cti, of the fotball game scheduled be-
rvocn Webster and Milhank last Fri
aav. so the season for the locals end
cd them ayfes
\ review OF the season shows cha.
tr,e M,,bank team did wonderfully well
tar first year team. Under the
a,le coaching Of DR.. Geo. kirchner
snd Paul Calfee, high school students
lie majority of whom had never wit
r7osse.! q game of football, were
rounded into shape SO that they gave
good account Of themselves against
:. seasoned team of championship
class.
The first game was played with
Crtony lie, in which the locals play
"a the lake city team all over the
cridiorn in the first half ard los-
-ae game only thru the fact that the
lack a. experience was too much for
.lem. Had the locals lad one game
f.efore meeting the Oltonville team,
We make post game prediction that
ne score would have been in Mil
:,ank'e favor The second game was
ylayed with Wheaton OF their field,
Tvhich was lost by score of 1870.
Inasnncl as Wheaton wen from Or
.onville by 5l-O score, our conclu-
sons are right.
The first two home games, with
Webster and Groton were victories
-or the locals, by good scores. In
ne final game with Mobridge, Mil
rank was out -classed and out-played
and had no chance whatsoever Of
Ginning.
4 great deal Of experience was
gained by the players and by the
,oys in high school who will be out for
football next year. Three OF this
ears stars will graduate next spring
--Schneck, Manders and Heidner.
Schneck was the ma;nstay of the
cackfeld and captain of the team.
early in the season he sustained in
iuries TO his back that cave him con-
siderable trouble and he was taken
cut OF several games before the end
If injuries. The loss ci Schneck in
-ne backfield will make hole that
will be hard to plug, but DR.. kirch-
ner already has plans and tentative
lineup of next Years team.
Considering everything all of the
men who were on the team played
GOOD football Schneck, with his line
plunging, passing and generalship
vas fine; Johnny Schell, the fastest
runner on the team, was a hard man
70 catch IN a broken field; Jack Lock
hart and Bobby Ware made good in
reference and followed the inter
-erence we'll for good gains when car
wing the ball. Heidnel and Grams,
IN the ends, played good games; and
Manders, Lewis and Wendt on the
inc were the stars. Hokland was
shifted from end to center and back
again and was handicapped Iy it.
With the eight experienced men and
a good bunch OF material to work on,
we have no doubt but that Milbank
will give the champions Of the state
g good game next year.
With the close of the football sea-
son. basketball is ushered in. Prac-
rice will start next week. According
20 the coaches there will be a large
number out to make the first team.
All of the players have had good eS-
perience and the Milbank high school
should stand we'll toward the top this
season. The schedule has not been
completed yet but will be announced
soon.

the old fashioned religion that caused
men Ia fear Col and love their fellow
man. He has recently been having a
theological discussion with Rev.

the following rhyme:
THE "MODERNIST"
The subject of this rhyme,
The Rev. "Half-a-Dimt.
Essa. ed to preach gospel,
He did not himself believe;
A1l SO, from time to time,
This Rev. "Half-a- -Dime,'
Would preach his pseudo
Holding something ''up his sleeve"
He loved the praise OF men,
This Rev. Hall Ten"
And hence despised the doctrines
Which both Pau! and Peter preached:
Then came the morning, vixen
This Rev. Half OF Ten"
Awoke to find his teachings
Had their hurtfui limits reached.
To Keen his church alive,
Thi, Rev "Mr. Five
Began to tell his people
The great excellence OF 'love;'
He hoped to see it thrive
This Rev. "Mr. Five,-'
But there was something lacking
That was needed from above.
Ant; Their his work all done,
This Rev. "Five-Times-One,''
"Vanosed." and left contention
As his movement to Doubt"
The DEVILS ribs to tickle,
This Rer. MIR. Nicke.,'
Talks right along on loving
Wit, both faith" and .lhope" left oas.
Yoa cannot raise the sfuits,
Without the healthy shoots:
Nor can YOU grow the ..ethie''
And neglect the living roots;
