state high school cage teams are
ready for contests they hope will

The Gopher basketball team

The Gophers have twelve lettermen

Money Scarce

In 1875 on FEBRUARY 10th Albert
Bugbie included in his letter to
George Green this news:
BRO Greene, your ever welcome
and long looked for letter came to
hand by last evenings mail. Found
us quite well. Much better than
one could really expect considering
what an enormous long spell of
cold weather we have had. Ever
since Christmas it has been be-
tween twenty five and forty degrees
below zero, and some of the time,
was down to forty FIVE degrees be-
low. Every one says, it has been
the coolest weather they ever
knew. Have not had very many
severe snow storms as yet and I
don't anticipate very great many
more between this and spring. AS
you said, did not intend the first
of the winter to teach, and refused
three good chances Was not out
of my fall term till the twenty first

orally was getting rather dull so I
concluded would teach a few
months. So am now teaching a
three months school, have three
weeks after this week. Business
everywhere through out the west
ern country is dreadful dull this
winter, and large numbers of mer-
camille houses are going by the
board. "A. II. Wilder and Co. Of
st. Paul Is one very heavy whole
sale concern that has gone up this
winter. Also D. M. Russell of st.
Cloud is another. These heavy
failures are affecting the mass Of
people more than one would natur-
ally suppose they would. Making
money matters rather tight. I
never knew money to be quite as
scarce as at present, since I came
to MINI. "A man with a few thou
sands to let could do big thing
this way just now. Could get al
most any interest he was in mind
to ask.
"This has been rather a hard

Hope I shall not lose any more.

State high school teams are play
ing their opening games this week.
1t is still too early to pick favorites
for the district titles, but one thing
is certain-the race will be as hot
as ever, and that is plenty hot.
The Minneapolis hockey situa-
ton is ideal. The last years ASS
ociation champions are located in
the upper strata fifteen days ahead
of last years record, with a three
game road trip on this week.
Coach Joe Simpson would be salts
fled with an even break, that is a
victory, loss and a tie. In fact any
manager in the league considers a
road trip a success if they break
even.
The st. Louis contest, due to be
played during the current road trip
was postponed owing to difficult
ties in obtaining the use of the
Flyers rink. An optional contract
controlling the use Of the rink caus-
ed the postponement.

defensively in the league and boast
Of an offense equal to any other
club. George Patterson, center ace,
created somewhat of stir in the
hockey ranks by totalling seven
points in two games to place him
self among the scoring leaders. The
same Patterson also caused the
Miller management moments of
anxiety with an illness that was
first thought of as appendicitis
but it was only q stomach ailment
and the scoring leader Is back in
the lineup.
Two important developments
developed in the University Of

first was the report that Wiscon-
sin is now considering entering the
hockey conference which at present
consists Of Minnesota and Michi-
gan. The other was the cancellation
of the McMaster series on Decem-

Minneapolis, Dec. New Christ
mas things are arriving daily, and
to select gifts for men folks. Let's
women, rejoice this year, it is easy
to make a list of some OF things
that special person or father or
brother might enjoy receiving.
First, and just arrived here in
Minneapolis, is pair of hazel pig
gloves. They are unusual for sew,
eral reasons. They are the sturd-
lest mems gloves ever made. In
fact, the manufacturer so believes
in them that he says they will wear
ten years. The purchaser of these
gloves is invited to, after five years
wear, return them to the factory for
complete rejuvenating without cost.
The price is about $6.95. For gloves
that will wear ten years, say that
is not bad.
The college boy is all excited over
his first formal" clothes. He will
love it if you give him a William
Powell evening scarf of white silk.
This scarf is over a yard wide and
extra long. 1t is beauty.
For the pipe smoker there is a
new pouch that is a dandy. 1t is
made of soft tan leather and has a
Upper closing. In addition to hold,
ing plenty of tobacco, it has pipe
pocket right in the pouch so to-
bacco and pipe need never be sep
arated.
The man who travels will appre-
ciate a hair brush, the back of
which is fitted with shaving equip
ment. A upper fastener closes the
back compartment. This is compact
and cetainly useful.

this winter that I ever saw them.
Before this winter, money was
about as plenty and wages about as
good as they were formerly in
Massachusetts,.
Living Costs Low
The first twelve months that I
was here earnt $4,000 working by
the month. Out Of that sum I saved
$4,000 and paved it towards getting
me a farm. 1t cost me only forty
dollars for clothes boot and shoes
and spending money during the
year. couldn't have saved near
as much out of that amount in
Massachusetts, for it would have
cost me a great deal more for
spending money there than here.

quite so much as the year before.
although farmed on my own hook.
I should have cleared more II wheat
had kept up at the same price last
fall as 1t was the winter before.
Wheat then was worth 500 per
bush. Now 1t is only worth so per
bush. If could have got one
dollar for my wheat the same as
the farmers did the season before
should have cleared all Of $500
but as 1t was I guess that I shall
clear about SITS. before the first OF
