st. Francis Plays Snappy Game But
Home Team is Victor by Score
Of 81 to IT,.
A good, snappy basketball game was
played last Friday night at the high
school gymnasium between the St.
Francis and Princeton teams. Both
squads were good sports in the fight
and made fine throws. In our team
the following men played: Captain
Penhallegon and P. Sampson, for
wards; C. Sanford, center; A. Nc
Cool and R. Sanford, guards; subs,
w. Jump, L. Pearson, F. Hedin, A..
johnson.
Captain Penhallegon starred by his
successful long shots into the basket.
Archie McCool made up for his fouls
by a good distance shot that went to
Princeton's credit. Fouls were evenly
made on both sides. C. Sanford. P,
Sampson and R. Sanford played a
fast and good defensive game. No
substitutes were put in because the
boys were in good trim and neither
squad played a rough game. AS a
whole the game was lively, clean one
winch no one could regret having
seen. A good, poppy crowd Of Prince
ton people showed that they were
backing their team. Also goodly
number came from St. Francis to
cheer their boys. The high school
orchestra, under the supervision of
Miss Snyder, played several selec-
tons as an interlude for the atten-
dants.
Before the boys game was pulled
OFT the senior girls played the fresh
men girls. The freshies won the
game by a score of IL to 3. Three of
the freshmen girls who played are on
the high school team while only one
of the senior girls who played is on
the first team. The senior girls, how
ever, have won over the sophomore
and junior girls in preceding games.
The freshmen will next play the
Juniors and sophomores.
All the teams and the visitors were
given a feed after the games to en-
liven the contestants and give St.
Francis a good send off.
Our teams played the Elk River
quints Wednesday night. The result
OF these games will be in the next
Union. The boys team will play the
boys of st. Cloud normal Friday night
at St. Cloud. They expect to have a
hard battle but will put up. good
fight.

Christmas Cheer

"This is the day, which the Lord has
made: Let US rejoice and be glad in
it," Thus sang the inspired singer of
! old, and who has not been touched by
his beautiful song? In times of sor
row and in times of joy, he tuned his
harp and sang new song to his God.
David had indeed many reasons for
rejoicing. God had wonderfully
blessed him. Therefore his heart was
filled with songs of praise and glad
ness. We have still greater reasons
for rejoicing. For God so loved the
world that He sent His only Son to be
our Savior And in Him we have in
deed been blessed with joy and glad
ness.
Christmas, We greet thee! Welcome
again to our hearts and our homes!
This is indeed the day, which the Lord
has made. Let US rejoice and be glad
in it. "No better news ever came out
from heaven and fell upon the ears of
the family of man than when the angel
came with that wonderful message:
"Bchold, l bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all the peo-
pie; for to you is born this day, in the
city of David, a Savior"
Christmas is the day of the grea:
| gift from our Fathers home on high.
Let us therefore open wide our portals
| that the King of Glory may enter
therein. God gave this day to make
US happy and blessed We should
therefore bring the spirit of Christmas
| cheer and happiness to one another.
Jesus is the great gift from our
Fathers home. He came as a messen-
ger of the Heavenly King to save US
from sin and death. For this reason
he dwelt among US. He became a
human being and was born a little
child just as we are. He grew up and
became man like U.S. He became a
member of the great human family.
But at the same time He was our
Heavenly Fathers Son, who came to
seek and save that which was lost.
But as He dwelt among US then, so
He now wishes to dwell in the heart of
each and every one of US. This is the
message of Christmas to US. Let us
all open the doors of our hearts and
our homes to Him, so that He may be
permitted to give unto US the joy of
His salvation. For it is this joy of
salvation, which makes the Christmas
festival so dear to our hearts and so
wonderfully beautiful.
May this Christmas time bring this
message of cheer and happiness to US
all. N. A. Almer.

STATE CONVENTION.
Railroads Offer Reduction in Fares to
Members Attending State Farm

tions are complied with, members will
be able to buy return tickets at one
half fare, the federation said in it's
report to the county bureau.

families to attend both the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation annual con-
vention and the sessions of Farmers
and Home Makers week this winter,
without extra expense, the convention

farm.

officials have set aside the opening
day of the convention as Farm Blu
reau Federation Day." The first ses-
sion of the convention will be held in

pended all day to enable everyone to

Holmes. who was q physician.
undoubtedly wished in this poem
to give us a medical allegory which
would express the truth that the
wear and tear on the human body
should be SO evenly distributed
that death should result only from
extreme old age, and that there
should be no weak points in the
structure.
Now people have lived one hun
dred years and more. and these
centenarians have not been notable
for special development or strength
Of any kind. Their longevity has
been due to harmonious func-
tioning of good bodily mechanisms.
What apears to be necessary to
bring about this desirable result Is
that fairly intelligent people must
acquire a better understanding of
our physical machinery. and be able
to improve them, or at least inter
pref the warnings that they give of
undue pressure. This they can do

MILLINERY FOR
AUTUMN
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

r oVELY as the foliage Of Au-
tumn f. the newest millinery
with its vivid colorings and its
Irresistible smartness portrayed in
every line. Charming hats OF vel
vet. soft duvetyn and sport models
Of felt are in vogue. and very inter-
esting they are. too.
Everywhere one finds the smart
est shops catering to the needs OF
the bobbed heads, and consequently
the hats are designed accordingly.
Small shapes that roll back off the
face to show the cut hair are well
liked, and Of course there Is the
Spanish influence that Is so rapidly
felt I'm the lace veil effects that
adorn the larger hats.
Black satin or dull silk crepe Is
favored for fall wear, and these hats
require little or no trimming, for
they rely solely on their becoming
lines and superior quality for sue
cess. Sometimes a bit Of black gros-
grain ribbon futtering off the side
answers for decoration. or It may be
two big bone loops suspended from
either side to form the effect OF
earrings.
The duvetyn hats come In tho
softest Of tones, and dust color holds
preference. One model shows q soft
crown and shirred brim rolled back
abruptly off the face, with a jade
hatpin thrust through the material
at q rakish angle. Henna. too, is
responsible for interesting millinery,
and today found q very attrac-
tive model in henna duvetyn beau
tifully embroidered In silver thread.
Felt sport hats are smart. Hats
that pattern themselves after the
mannish shapes so much in evidence
last winter are again in vogue. No
trimming is necessary on this tailor
ed millinery except q gros-grain
band.
To be smart, the velour hat must
have a beautiful lustre. The shades
are silver, beaver, aluminium, dust,
myrtle. bottle green. side nutria and
black.
