Basket Ball i he Basket Ball girls played their ' second game last Friday night at Boelus. They came out victorious with the score 20 to 15. It was a hard game and some of our best players mot ' their match there.

I which was played with two courts and . six players, the score was 3 to 11 in > our favor. The second half was played open . field and it got the girls mixed up quite a bit but they won at the end.

Now that the election is over and Mr. Wilson has been entrusted with the reins of government for another four years, there is one piece of work that will forcibly demand his atten tion. and that is the pacification of Mexico. We are well aware that the Mexican problem presents great difficuJties, view it from whatever angle we may. But they are difficulties that may and can be overcome, and as time goes on it becomes more and more apparent that it is up to the United States to overcome them. The truth of the whole matter is that Mexico is suffering from the same misrule from which we freed Cuba— the decadent Spanish rule. Mexico is a republic only in name. Not the first principle of popular rule has ever prevailed in that country. The forces that have always controlled her destiny have been those be queathed by Spain. With misrule and oppression on the one hand, and sul len hatred and resentment on the other, it is small wonder that she has been in a perpetual state of unrest and turbulance. President Diaz was the only ruler in her history who ever maintained a semblance of order, and he did so solely by the use of the mailed hand. Since his day poor Mexico has seen naught but anarchy. Anarchy pre vails there today—anarchy and wholesale brigandage. Argue as we may against the idea of intervention, the fact is daily be coming more apparent that it is the only solution. That enlightened Amer ica should sit idly by and make no ef fort to remedy the intolerable state of affairs prevailing there, is inconceiv able. Mexico is a blot on the Western civilization, and only Western civiliza tion can erase that blot. Of course every American wishes that the redemption of Mexico may be accomplished by peaceable means if possible. But the progress being made in that direction appears to the average mind as negligible. The mat ter seems no nearer a solution today man u urn nity years ago. From the days of President Buchan an until today, every president has had the same difficulties to contend with there. Each has had his vexing “Mexi can question," and it is remarkable how similar have been the circum stances that each has had to face. Not only the present generation, but the unborn generations of the fu ture of that unhappy land demand of tis inat we-confer trpau them some of the blessings that our forbears be queathed to us. Twenty years ago Cuba was in as pitable condition as Mexico is today. We have remade and rehabilitated her, and today she is enjoying that peace and prosperity which her natural ad vantages merit. We can do the same for unhappy Mexico. We should do the same for her. But will we do it? , RESULTS TELL There Can Be No Doubt About the Results in Loup City Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed. The testimony of a Loup City citizen \ Can be easily investigated. What better proof can be had? Nelson Smith, Loup City, says: “1 have found Doan’s Kidney Pill3 give very good satisfaction and rec ommend them to anyone suffering from their kidneys. I used them for backache ad they relieved me at once. I know Doan’s Kidney Pills can be de pended upon for such ailments or otherwise I would’t give m name as a reference. Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Smith had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props.. Buffalo, N. Y. A bunch of Merry Christmases to you.

STIMSON.Jean Hathaway VELMA VROOMAN.Grechen Lederer HENRY FOX.Gilmore Hammond HOOK HOOVER.Lon Chaney MRS. HOOVER.Lule Warrenton Stage life, with its unfailing appeal to the public, is intimately disclosed in the BlueBird Photoplay, “Bobbie of the Ballet,” with Louise Lovely, the girl whose appearance lives up to her name, impersonating a ballet girl who resists temptation under strong pres sure and triumphs over those who, would wreck her life. There is a pa thetic appeal to the hearts of humani tarians in this girl’s struggles against heavy odds and an example of up rightness for girls who may be weak ening under the stress of their sur roundings. In working out an inten sely interesting story the producers have adopted several sensational methods to intensify the appeal of a great moral lesson embellishing the visualization of the narrative in beau tiful photography.
