the schools here on account of several
cases of scarlet fever having broken
out here the first of the week among
some of the children. The DR.. also

WOOD WINS One
WHITE RIVER wins One

The Wood basket ball teams opened
the season by playing the White River
teams on Wednesday night, November
3. The Wood boys team defeated
the White River team 90, and the
Wood girls team was defeated l8-4.
The games were marIed by quite Il
good deal of roughncss, especially 50
in the boys team. With more prac.
tee, and more knowledge Of the game,
there is no reason why Mellette coun-
" can not have two unusually good
teams. If Wednesdays game be any
criterion.
There was world of pep and en-,
thusiasm displayed by both teams
and the fighting spirit at no time
Stacked. The games were well attend
ed and the American Legion hall was
filled to capacity If the Wood people
support our future games as well as
they did this one there is no reason
Why Wood cannot have a real boys
team, and girls team as well. The
teams need encouragement for what
they are doing and trying to do ana
there is no better way to do THIS than
- talk for them and attend their
raines.

There you can learn to read, write.
and speak.
If you know English. possibly there
is some person next door who has just
come from Russia, and is longing for
the chance to learn English, but doesn't
know where to go. Won't you help
him by sending him to night school!
America is begging you to take ad-
vantage Of her opportunities. II you
learn to read not only do you become
better citizen but you also discover
new world Of pleasure within the
pages of books.
The evenings that now seem to go
without anything being accomplished.
can become n time not only of profit
but of pleasure US well.
For at night school you not only learn
to read but TO speak English correct
iy. to talk before people without en-
rassment, and to express what you
think.
How many friends OF yours are al
most forgotten now because you did
not know how to write to them! You
have always had some excuse to offer
too lazy, too tired, too busy.
But when person really knows how
to write corresponding becomes a
pleasure. There is as much fun in tell
ing about a thing as in doing it.
wouldn't you like to be able to tell
sister Becky In New York about what
is happening In Denver?
Not the things that YOU read of in
the newspapers, but things about your
friends that you know she will laugh
about when she reads them?
