State Historical Soc. Exchange The Hanover Democrat Official City Paper. AND ENTERPRISE 8 Pages--All Home Print VOLUME XLVI HANOVER, WASHINGTON COUNTY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1922 NUMBER 2 FINE HOLIDAY TRADE Is What Hanover Business Men Say This Year Hanover business men are well pleased with Holiday All last week the stores were crowded with Christmas Shoppers, some starting week before last. In many of the stores it was found necessary to put on extra help. It is the general opinion that the holiday season just closed will rank among the best ever experienced by the Hanover Merchants.

This same report seems to come from other towns and cities which is a good sign that business is still on the upgrade all over the country. Christmas in 1922 was a happy one for the people of this community, generally. All of the churches held special services and at each service there was a good attendance. Santa Claus was good to the people here too. In almost every home the Christmas spirit prevailed with the giving and receiving of gifts.

The Day seems to have been spent quietly. There were a great many family reunions, a lot of our former residents were here to see the "home folks' and everybody seemed to have spent a Merry Christmas. Wolf Hunt Sunday The first wolf hunt of the season will be held Sunday, Dec. 31st. southeast of Hanover, The lines will form in the following places: the west line will be the Little Blue river; the north line will be the Hanover and Independence township line; the east line will be two miles east of the Marshall county line, and the south line will be the Bell telephone line, All of the lines are to start promptly at 1:30 and the roundup will be in the northwest corner of the Linkugel pasture.

No cars will be allowed in the ring, and no one participating will be allowed to use a rifle. The management has made this rule so that if anyone gets into the ring ahead of the lines and gets hurt they are taking their own risk. If any wolves are shot the party shooting the wolf is permitted to keep it. It is expected that there will (be a large crowd present as this is the first hunt of the Farmers living in the territory to be covered by this hunt report having seen wolves this season so everything is favorable for a successful hunt.

Rowland, the local iceman, had a force of men busy the latter part of last week putting up ice for his use this season The ice was taken from the Little Blue and is of a good quality, Mr Rowtr land succeeded in getting a rood quantity put up before warm weather of the last les days of last week began often it on top making it for storage. Christmas Program's In School The schools here ali had Christmas programs on Friday of last week, their last day of school for 1921. The pupils of the St. John's Catholic school put on a very pretty program consisting of music and various other recitations and dialouges which were all well presented.

They were favored with a visit from Santa Claus who presented each little boy and girl with a sack of candy and talked with them about Christmas. Many of the children's parents were present and all thoroughly enjoyed the program. The grade children of the Hanover public school also had a program consisting of Christmas songs, recitations, and dialogues which was very good. They were also favored with a visit from Santa Claus. As Friday was the regular meeting of the literary society of Hanover high school this organization also put on a program which was in charge of the Sophomore class.

The program was very good and consisted of various kinds of entertainment. One of the features was a reproduction of one of the miracle plays. As these plays were always of a more or less religious nature, the one reproduced by the Sophomores was the story of the birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas day. This play was of special interest to the English students who have studied or who are studying the development of the drama from the days of the miracle plays to the drama of to-day. The Sophomores should be commended on the success they made in putting on this program.

Everything consider ed, the programs were good and showed some hard work on the part of those taking part. It is these little grams put on at various times by the students at various times that makes school interesting, Moreover, they are always instructive. Lutheran Church. Friday at 2:00 p. m.

Win One -Lose One The Hanover high school basket ball teams divided honors with the Washington teams Thursday evening of last week.

The Washington girls won by one point, the score being 19 to 20, This was the best and fastest girl's game that has been played on the Hanover court for some time. At no time during the game was either team far in the lead and the score was doubtful until the blowing of the final whistle. This is only the third or fourth defeat the Hanover girls have suffered in the past two years. This little "retouching" has put more pep in them and they intend to finish the season undefeated The boy's game started off with a rush and was a fight for the full forty minutes of play. Being greatly outweighed by Washington and playing the greatest odds they have played against this year, the Hanover boys showed themselves to be real baskettossers.

It was the hardest fought and no doubt the rough! est game they have played this year. Hanover won this game by a score of 20 to 13, The proceeds of this game go for the school's fund for Near East relief. Some forty dollars were taken in at the door and after the expenses have been paid the remainder will be forwarded to the near east relief committe. Washington took half cf the proceeds which they added to their relief fund. About $15 was taken in by the Domestic science girls by selling 'lunch' and drinks and this money will also be used for Near East Relief.
