The six months' sub 1 seription raised last May run until Nov. 1st which will keep the gym nasium running until Dec. 1st. More young men should join as it gets cool er but it will be necessary for the town to help or at least encourage the association if the membership alone is to support it during the winter. Now it can be run at very little expense and book fines pay freight on new books shipped every three months from Lincoln. Basket ball games or other sports can draw crowds to town on any occasion and all this takes is a a little enthusiasm on the part of everyone. The interest has been kept up so far but could just as well be twice what it is. All persons using the basket ball are asked not to kick it. That is not j the way to play and will soon ruin the ball. We will tell you just once and doing it the second time means you will be expelled and will not get your membership fee back either. For Sale One Piano.
