L'ANSE GIRLS PLAY
HOUGHTON AND RIPLEY

Last Friday night the girls bas-
ketball team played game with Rip
ley on the Ripley floor. Owing 20 poor
train connections, the girls did not ar
rive in Ripley until 8 o'clock in the
evening. They Immediately took their
places on the floor and fast game
followed. L'Anse made the first score
which was free throw. At the end
cf the first half the score stood to
in favor of Ripley. The second half
was equally fast but luck was against
L'Anse and the final score stood 13
to 6.
The lineup was as follows: Center,
Viola Liberty; side center, Leona Nc
Grath; forwards, Fhebe Campbell.
Lola Menge; guards, Hermann Sea-
vcy, Gertrude Cosgrove and Mae Cos
grove.
After the game, the Houghton girls
took the visiting team to their homes
where they were entertained until
Saturday evening when L'Anse met
Houghton on the floor of the hall ov-
er the Citizens National Bank.
Again bad luck followed the girls
for several of them became i'll and
were unable to play as well as they
could. The girls however made up
their minds to stay on the floor as
long as they could so the game went
on. In the first quarter the score
was 2 to with Houghton ahead.
L'Anse was unable to make any
scores until the third quarter when
one field throw wes made. In the last
quarter, the girls became desperate
enough to run the score up to 6. When
the final whistle blew, the score was
1S to in favor Of Hoaghton. The
lineup for this game was: Viola
Liberty, center; side center, M. Hol-
liday; forwards, Phebe Campbell
Lola Menge and Helen McEwen;
guards, Hermann Seavoy, Mae Co.'S
grove and Gertrude Cosgrove.

SOLDIERS ARE BOOSTING
JAMES FOR u. s. SENATOR

The Legion Air." official publica-
ton of the American Legion Post at
Menominee, is out with photo on
the first page of Congressman W..
Frank James and an article suggest
ing that he be a candidate for United
States Senator from Michigan at the
next election.
The article follows:
Hon. w. Frank James is the rep
resentative in congress from the
twelfth district of Michigan.
"Mr. James is heart and soul a
friend of the American Legion and
of all ex-service men. He himself
is veteran of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war and now is chairman of the
committee on military affairs.
"His ability and resources stood
out so prominently in congress that
he has been appointed to this COM
mittee, by far the most important of
any of the committees.
"Mr James, though not the con-
gresham from the district in which
this post is established, has unset
fishly spent his valuable time in
granting any favor ever asked Of him
from ex-service men here.
"He has been an ardent and vigor-
Gus supporter Of the adjusted COM
pensation bill and has fought most
strenuously in the house for it. II
has been greatly through his efforts
that the bill passed by such an over
whelming majority there, only to be
vetoed by the president.
"But Mr.. James assures his ex-
service friends that he will continue
his fight, and these friends feel con-
| fident that with such friends as is
Mr.. James, sooner or. later, the ad
justed compensation will be fact
and not empty promises.
"Mr. James was reelected las
fall to the house of representatives
We want to see him after the mex
election, Senator w. Frank James, o.
Michigan"

WHAT THEY SAW AND
HEARD AT STAMBAUGH

Very interesting were the talks
given by the boys last Wednesday on
what they saw and heard when they
were at the conference at Stembaugh.
Though their speeches We're detailed
and long enough to absorb ore and n
half class periods Of time (much to
everyone's delight, with the probable
exception of the teachers) still the
rest of the students feel quite sure
they have returned wiser than they
were On their departure and this be-
lief was confirmed by the apparent
air of mystery surrounding them on
the day of their return.
Clyde Campbell, the first speaker
on the program, spoke on the opening
session and the banquet, held in the
assembly hall of the Stambaugh
High. He assured that the banquet
was great and the speeches by DR..
Artman and others very interesting.
Morgan Edwardsen's oration on the
Saturday morning session brought
home to us all the worth while know
ledge that success is not gained by
chance, only by hard labor. We doubt
| if the speakers who addressed the
great throng of boys there at the con-
ference could have been more elo-
quent, expressive or more in earnest
about the subject than was Morgan.
Then followed Lewis Simmonich's
report on the High School group ses-
sion, all of which was full of valua.
BILE information but the only state.
ment. we are likely to remember Is
that the boys first think of good
times, then of girls, they being rela.
tive subjects.
Gabriel Gamache's animated dis.
course on picture-taking, how il
turned out and the recreation per
iod was heartily applauded. Wei
never forget his account Of how the,
went to the iron mine "in back" o.
the Stambaugh High.

one had felt ravenously hungry ans

SENIOR CLASS ANNUAL

The idea Of class annual is living
and growing fast.
Work on different parts of the
planned annual has been assigned to
comittees consisting Of two members
of the Senior class. Quotations on
the cost of photos have been received
from several copper country studios
and prices have also been written for
on the cost of plates or engravings,
SO the approximate cost of publishing
the annual can be figrued-but no
matter what the obstacles we will
push it thru and make it grand sue
cess.

cattle. especially dairy herds for the
purpose of stopping so far as possible
tuberculosis contracted in this way by
babies and young children.
(e) Predatory Animal Bill, which
appropriates money to cooperate with
the U. S. Biological Survey in the ex-
termination of predatory animals, not
only for the benefit of the stock in
dustry but to better preserve our wild
game.
(D A bill to allow Trust Compan-
les to buy Farm Loan Bank bonds,
thereby creating greater demand and
making them easier to sell.
4. The Lambert Bill or the Repub-
lican Consolidation Bill which in my
opinion, goes as far as possible in the
consolidation and elimination of
boards and bureaus under the cleo
tive offices without a Constitutional
Convention. This bill was vetoed by
the Governor as stated above.
5.,Blue Sky Law, which is for the
purpose of protecting in practical
way people Of Colorado from Bunco
men and wildcat schemes without ad-
dftional expense to the state
Besides these measures might be
mentioned the various Child Welfare
Bills recommended by the Committee
appointed by Governor Shoup two
years ago to investigate and frame
legislation to try as far as legislation
is concerned to stop delinquency
among children. Also the acceptance
of the provisions of the Shepherd
Towner or Mothers Compensation act.
Change in the law concerning legal
publications to correct error made two
years ago. Then, too, there were sew
eral school bills including the certi-
fication of teachers, and the estab-
lishment of high schools in 3rd class
districts. Changes in our drainage
laws. number of changes in the
Industrial Relations Act and the in
creasing of compensation in case of
accident from ten to twelve dollars a
week. etc. A few minor changes in
our election laws. Changing of the
Gunnison Normal School to Western
State College, and probably a bill pro-
viding for a separate Board of Trus-
tees for this institution. A few chan
| ges in the game laws, including the
establishing of a number of State
Game Refugees for protection of game
therein The abolishing of the Board
of Pardons, also Board of Charities
and Corrections, etc, and other bills
of more or less local interest.
! In conclusion may l make this
statement that our government has
been tried during the past $50 years
and has been satisfactory. l do not
believe that the legislature is called
together every two years to revolu-
tionize the system of government
under which we are working Con-
structive laws must from time to
time be made to take care of the
changes in our civilization which
occur, but there is, in my opinion,
more danger Of trying to change too
quickly than too slowly. For these
reasons l believe that the oath Gen
eral Assembly will go down in his
tory as one of the most conservative
bodies Colorado has ever had and will
receive commentator for having
passed constructive legislation and not
having passed useless, experimental
or radical legislation

BACK YARDS

Our house front may be shining with
varnish and with paint,
Our windows all may glisten in the
sun;
We may sweep and dust and clean
till ready most to faint,
And hang our brand new curtains one
by one;
But If our back yards cluttered with
rubbish and with dirt,
Soiled milk bottles and old tomato
cans,
Our neighbors. when they look from
their windows. may be hurt
BY view OF broken glass and rusty
pans.
A beautiful green lawn is charming
sight to see.
With robin red breast tripping here
and there,
But II the weeds are carried back and
thrown down carelessly
In great untidy heaps, our neighbors
stare
And make unkind remarks about the
nice effect and grunt
At the way things in our back yard
appear;
They care little how we beautify our
property in front,
II it's full Of piles of rubbish in the
rear.
always put your best foot foremost"
grandmother used to say,
And maybe to a great extent that's
true;
But we ought to move the other foot
as fast along the way,
With no worn spots or run down
heels to view.
Love your neighbor as yourself is
better rule today,
For you'd like him to assist you in
your plans:
But your neighbor will not love you,
and will look the other way,
II your back yards full OF dirt and
old tin cans.
