legion Will Stage
Big Minstrel Show
During Next Month

The coming annual membership
drive and plans to hold minstrel
show for the purpose Of raising mucl1
needed funds, occupied the evening
Friday at the regular meeting OF
Fred Hilburn post Of the American
legion.
The legion won first prize in the
competitive vaudeville show put on
some time ago by the Business and
Professional Women's club and there
is a feeling within the post that
such show properly planned will
be worth while.
1t is necessary with the great
amount of relief work that the
Douglas post, is called on to do ow-
ing to the large number of needy
service men who pass through here,
that large sum of money be raised
annually This was brought out at
the meeting and the members voted
that a drive for funds through so
licitation of the community would
not be a good policy as so many
other organizations resort to this
method and the public grows tired
of it.
The legion voted that the public
would be very willing to aid in the
big job of caring for the disabled
men if they may be given something
really good in entertainment for
their money
The matter of a state publication
for the legion was discussed at
length and several propositions that
had been suggested by the depart
ment heads We're tabled The men
at she meeting urged that some ac-
tion be taken to secure a state wide
circulated legionN publication Of some
sort, and it is probable that def
mite action on the matter will be
taken at the next meeting.

Local Quintet ProUes
Too Fast for Northern
Cagers in Hard Battle

With a final score of Is to IL, the
Douglas high school topped the st
David cagers last night in a whirlwind
game played on the great court at Ben
son. The game was one of the fastest
and most closely contested at times OF
any game of the season, and the local
squad won their win by hard work.
Causey, Denno and Seeley rolled up
points for the Bulldogs, but the entire
, team worked together and every man
with the exception of Cummings scored
at some time during the furious melee.
Post and Robinet, of the st. David
team, took honors for that squad. Post
scored eight of the twelve points that
they secured.
The Bulldogs scored as follows:
Betty, 8; Pratt, 4; Causey, Q; Demo, Z,
and Seeley, 2. Causey, with his long
reach and great speed coupled with a
generalship worthy of veteran, took
the heavy end of the play The team
put on a real show from beginning to
end. All played together and at no
time showed any great weakness, al
though hard pressed by the st. David
squad, whose work was great sur
prise to the local boys.
The final outcome of the second
game of the evening, which featured
the Douglas "Y" team against the Benz
son city team, could not be secured, as
the messenger carrying news of the
Bulldogs victory left Benson as the
other game was at the half way mark
with the "Y' team leading by a short
margin.
large number of Douglas fans mo-
tored over to the game. Principal j.
E. Carlson, of the high school, who
accompanied the team, was detained in
Benson with motor troubles and at
last reports did not expect to get home
beforesome time today.
This evening the Bulldogs play Will
cox on the home court. The game will
be interesting, although it is not ex
pected to call for the extreme effort
required in the ST. David clash. The
Wilcox team may spring a surprise,
however, as the St. David cagers did,
and the locals will be prepared to do
their stuff.
