We must confess we near lost our
head in witnessing our first game of
basket ball, which our boys very
spiritedly played with Hornbeak on
the home ground. For the life, of
us we could hardly keep from help
ing put the ball thru. It is a very
exciting sport, giving as it does so
much exercise for the boys. There
is some objection to the uniforms,
but if such knockers in arctics and
overcoats would try this fierce con
test we believe they would change
their opinion and in the same breath
call for the electric fans to be turned
on. Athletics give the boys a chance

As a member of the Book Club we
have rung the changes on "Main
Street," by Lewi3, and "Her Father's
Daughter," by. Gene S. Porter. The
first we found unique and modern to
a point in a restless circle of events
in organizations of uplift for the
progress of small town3. No doubt
our clubs, circles, societies, lodges
and chapters are overlapping till we
are like a train on a curve, liable to
meet ourselves coming back on va
rious propositions. Be this as it may,
our intentions are measured by our
Christian citizenship. Can we be far
wrong? Yet the plot of "Main
Street," applicable to any small
town, is long drawn out, covering, if
we remember correctly, four hundred
and fifty pages. "Her Father's
Daughter" begins exceedingly well,
and, while interlined thruout with
nature's heartsease, depicts more
tragedy than any of this popular
author's novels. Linda, the heroine,
associate of her father in exploring
the canyons of our western slope, is
a daringly independent and lovable
character. Too candid and truthful,
perhaps, for us people of the East
that bring our daughters up in a
coyness that Linda would deem com
monplace. We, will do well to
think deeply on Japanese aggressive
ness as brought out by Mra. Porter.
