NORMAL STUDENTS
 WHO WEAR LETTERS
They Are Those Who Did Thinqs in Track Athletics.

It is the custom In the large univer- sities and schools where athletics hold prominent place, to confer upon their best athletes the honor of wearing the school letter. says. the Student" These men are known as letter men. Thus a letter man of Harvard would have the sole privilege of wearing an H on his jersey. sweater or any place he chose; Yale man would wear Y or the initial letter of the school.
 Two years ago Prof Aver began the custom of conferring letters; this at first included only baseball, and after ward track work. To wear an N (our letter) in baseball. a man must have played consistently with the team one season. In track work a letter Is ob- tained by the winning of five points in meet with an outside school or being in the winning relay team. Some of the men have won letters in both track work and baseball. To designate the difference a white bar is placed be- heath the N won in baseball, and an old gold bar beneath the letter in track work. The number of bars will also indicate the number of letters won.
 The letter men in track work for 1908 were read last week by Mir Aver and are the following:

Deputy Sheriff Peterson yesterday morning arrested a stranger here who is thought to be demented. He was noticed by several people on the streets and from his peculiar actions impressed them that he should be talk en into custody and the sheriff was notified. The man gave his name as G. A. Phelps and stated that he had made the entire distance from Wash ington to Mesa on foot. At times he appears to be rational and at others he seems mentally afflicted.

ATTENDANCE STILL LIGHT

The attendance at the public school yesterday was a little better than it was the day before. but even yet it is not up to the standard. The auperin- ltendent takes this means of urging par ents to send their children to school. An automatic fumigator is at work day and night in every room and there is really less danger from diphtheria in the school room, due to the extra pre- cautions that are taken, than there is anywhere else in town. The light at tendance means a loss of funds to the district.

have been about the yard constantly
together and seem to be the very best
Of friends. In front Of the window

great deal Of their time In dead
horse chestnut tree. Near the top OF
one Of the trunks Is q very large hole.
While Mr.. Woodpscker goes In to find
some delicacy, Lady Sparrow hies
about the top chirping merrily. BY
their actions when Mr.. Woodpecker
comes out he must drop . "goodie"
down Lady Sparrow's throat have
never seen his mate around or any
other sparrow when they are together.
Just these two, who are SO different In
every way and still seem to be such
good friends. Wherever he goes she
follows, always flying about the tree
where he is working.-Exchange.
