SPORTS


winning both their games last
week. After meeting Long Prairie
here last Tuesday and beating them
in both the first and second team
games, they traversed the gravel
over to Swanville to beat them by
a ten point margin.
There seemed to be a little I'M
certainty Tuesday eve as to wheth-
er Kringen would play or not, but
as the game become quite hot in
the last quarter loft put Kringen
and Pang in to give the team pep
enough to win that game. Donnie
Ethun, "the Viking" played splen-
did game and was the lucky boy
to sink the winning bucket in the
last 80 seconds Of the conflict. Con-
key seems to have a six foot reach
out there on the court, for the balls
never seem to be too high or wide
for him. He has q fast break and
dribble that seemed plenty hard to
break besides being fairly good
shot.
THIS N THAT ABOUT SIR. HIGH
The "Schoolmaster" received a
very nice letter from Father Elan
agan thanking them for the fifteen
dollars that they sent to Boys
Town. This money was raised by
the "Schoolmaster." They put on
a campaign just before Christmas
and all the children that felt they
wanted to bring money to help his
home brought as much as they
could.
"We're going to beat Long Prai-
rie," were the words that were on
everyone's tongue at pep fest Tues
day. Long Prairie is one of Sank
Centres old rivals, and one Of the
most interesting to combat. This is
especially SO because of the excur-
sions that several parties of the
first part go on to see parties OF
the second part in said cities.
As usual the cheerleaders were
the masters Of ceremonies, and they
introduced Mr.. Harvey and Gail
Okerson, who in turn gave short
speeches about the oncoming game.
The program was concluded by
several school songs and yells.

Dearest Cousin,
How are you my dear cousin?
I suppose that you are not having
as much trouble up there in the
North as we are having here over
the slavery question.
My, but it is q tremendous task
to decide this question. Our black
slaves are very useful to us, but it
is a great deal Of expense caring
for them.
Our cotton crop is not as thriving
this year as it was last year. The
last Of December the boil weavil
destroyed about 1-16th Of my crop.
But I have sowed an extra large
crop this year.

them, but they were nearing 80
years of age so do not miss them
as much as / would If they had

you could lend me $1,000 until my
cotton crop is harvested. need

slaves. AS you know there Is very

Very affectionately yours,
Grace Chandler.
SOutherner's Opinion Of Slavery
My name is Henry Parker. I
have been asked by several men,
from the North and from the South
about my opinion Of slavery. Nat

condition. To the contrary, how
ever, I vehemently disagree. The
