Briefs from Polytechnic


Pupils of the high school are embark
ing on a venture novel in the extreme
in undertaking to stock and conduct a
complete book store at the high school
The enterprise will include the expen-
dture of $4,000 to stock the new store
The board of control expects to pur-
chase a stock of all the books and
magazines needed by the pupils in their
school work. These will be sold to the
students at the regular market price,
the chief advantage being that the pu-
pills will be able to get item without
having to go to the city to purchase
them. Secondhand books will be
bought from those who have completed
their labors and sold to others who
need them at price lower than the
book stores.
The profits Of the new venture will
be devoted to beautifying the school
and will also be used in defraying
school expenses.
The board of control does not intend
to meet with such obstacles toward
getting flowers for fiesta float as
they encountered last year. In very
short time flower seeds will be given
free to all pupils who will promise to
plant them and give the flowers pro-
duced to the fiesta committee for the
float which the school expects to enter
in the coming fiesta parade. 1t is
thought that in case more money is
needed for flowers this will be Sc
cured from the profits of the new book
store.

Alabama Politics Cheap.

Alabama is represented in the upper
house of congress by two of the old
est members of that body, Senator
Morgan is 50, Senator Pettus So, but
both are still wide-awake and active
men.
Not long ago Mr.. Morgan was
chosen by the Democratic primary con
ventions Of his state to the senate for
another term. In compliance with the
mw the senator made an affidavit, de-
claring that this reelection had cost
him only $50, which sum he had paid
to the Democratic state committee.
When asked if that was the regular
expense of an election as senator from
Alabama, Mr.. Morgan replied: 'Not
always so cheap. Ny colleague Fet-
tuss election cost him $40. The old
fox! I wish it had cost him S1OO."
This is almost convincing evidence
that Alabama is just the state for the
poor man who has taste for politics.

There is q weird melancholy about
Canadian forests, with their hundreds
of small lakes and rivers scattered here
and there, and although the scenery
never rises to the magnificent, there is
something haunting, aside from the
sport in it, that draws the hunter back
season after season. Canada is filled
with legends mostly Of Indian origin,
and all of them interesting to de-
gree, especially when related by one
of the Indian guides who can be in
