High School Notes.

The teachers reception last night
was a great success. The parents
were we'll represented and every one
reported a very pleasant evening.
Miss Sabin in talk Tuesday morn
ing, discussed why and why not
certain persons should study Latin.
The Freshman class met and
organized this week. Carl Walker
was elected president of the class.
Miss Berna Knoble vice president,
Mary Webb, secretary and Lee
Wright treasurer. The class adapted
orange and black as their colors.
Bessie Hall was painfully injured
by a sharp pencil during the last
fire drill. She accidentally ran
against the side of door way, and
as she did so, the pencil which she
held in her hand was driven deep
into he flesh above the knee, where it
broke off.
As yet no reason has been given
for the non appearance of the Platte
vile foot ball team last Saturday
afternoon. It is probable that they
preferred to stay in Platteville and
witness the game between the Normal
and Beloit Academy. They didn t
inform the Lancaster team of their
intention to cancel the game, and
this fact placed us in bad position,
as the game had been we'll advertised.
Their action was the punkest piece of
business ever connected with foot ball
in this part of the state; but-con
sidering the source, what can you
expect3
The fact that there is carnival in
town probably doesn't account for
the tired looks of some of the students
lately-but then too, it might.
The Boscobel H. S. foot ball
team will play the local eleven a
good game of foot ball at two
thirty today at the fair grounds.
Everyone should turn out and root
for the high school team.

Duron lslanu by capt. thompson IS
1t variance with the traditional re-
turns made by explorers and leaders
Of expeditions seeking gold or adven-
ture. In the past the Serbs have al
ways been pictured as cannibals, ruled
by a race of Amazons.
Tiburon has been classed as one of
he worlds greatest geographical mys-
teries: and the race inhabiting this
unknown island has been unclassified
oy scientists. Some authorities haze
regarded the Indians there as irene
gade Apaches;" other equally high AIT
thorities have regarded them as the
last of the Aztecs." This name is
commonly ascribed to-day to the Seri
Indians of Tiburop.

Dredge Completes Work at CassviIle.

The government dredge Vulcan,
which has been work improving the
levee at Cassville by pumping out q.
large amount of sediment collected'
there during recent years, has
moved down to Savanna to dredgep
the harbor at that place. Considerable
difficulty has been experienced of late
by craft of any size in effecting q
landing at the Cassville levee and
immense amount of good will be
realized by steamboat men and launch
owners from the deepening of the
landing. Futher dredging needs to-
be done, it is reported, but owing to,
the fact that only $1,000 was APP
propriated for the purpose the work
for the present must remain I'M
finished. The work at Savanna will
be more extensive, $4,000 having been
appropriated TO be used for harbor i'm
provement at that place.-Guttenberg.

The Corn Fodder Problem.

We have always contended that the
acreage of corn fodder put in shock
should be greatly increased. 1t is
simply a mathematical problem
which may be computed almost to
the exact cent. Cutting and shock
ing the corn crop when it is in the
proper condition means the saving Of
40 per cent more feed than il it
husked out and the stalks left stand
ing in the fall. Of course, it is true
that stalks may be pastured during
winter and some feed obtained in that
way, but when it is considered that
stalk fields often rent out for fifty
cents per acre, it must be conceded
that they are not considered of very
much value.
However, our desire at this time
is to speak to those who have exercis-
ed sufficient foresight to cut at least a
part of the corn crop. There are
thousands and tens of thousands Of
acres standing in the shock in the
central West and this has to be fed
out during the coming months. 1t is
by no means an unimportant matter
to decide which is the best way to
handle this fodder so as to obtain the
most value from it, utilizing the
smallest possible amount of labor in
handling it.
Under certain conditions fodder
may be fed directly to cattle and
hogs. In that case husking out is
not necessary, and therefore the labor
item is reduced to a minimum. There
will be practically no waste by feed
ing the crop In this way if judg-
ment is used in the amount fed each
day.
Under average conditions. how
ever, it is necessary to husk out the
grain so that the fodder may be fed
alone. Only in this way is one able
to ascertain just exactly how much
grain he is using at feed, hut it
entails an enormous amount of tedious
labor.
The third plan is to shred the
fodder and crib the corn. This will
cost practically So an acre, but it
puts the fodder in such excellent shape
and gives us the grain ready for the
crib that we are inclined to strongly
endorse this plan. Of course, it
means strenuous labor for day OF
two, but this is Offset, we believe, by
the splendid condition in which the
fodder will be afterwards kept and
also by the fact that the labor in
volved in feeding it will be reduced
to the minimum.
AS it will be some weeks yet before
fodder will be ready to shred, we
would like very much to hear from

Red and yellow are the dream celors
II DR.. Havelock Ellis is right. No 9th
er hues come to the dreamer Of dreams.
Simroth has declared that red is the
most primitive of colors, and long ago
protoplasm from which human beings
derived their origin on the new earth
probably responded to or was affected
by red color waves.
In the depth of the sea the algae, o,
seaweed, are red. With the savage red
is the favorite color. and for bright

Red strikes the note of intense emo

jubilation Savages paint themselves
red and rejoice at seeing each other in
burning hues. German women of the
early ages daubed their bodies with
brilliant red and yellow and considered
themselves most beauteously adorned.
On sacred festivals In Rome and
Greece, Pliny records, red was smeared
over the statues Of Jupiter and was the
color of religious rejoicing. The hui

Last night had nothing to do with

entire ignorance Of your presence on

He raised his hat and stalked for
ward in the direction Of the cafe car,
leaving Nancy with her feelings sadly /,
ruffied. Only the night before Graham
had proposed to her and had been re-
fused. She was certain that her aunt,
Mrs. Merrivale, had managed to get
word to Philip that Nancy had been
telegraphed for. His presence here
was part of Mrs. Merrivale's match
making plans.
Had she been left to herself Nancy
would have accepted Graham; but, be-
ing a young person of spirit, she de- /
clined to be forced upon Graham or
to have him forced upon her From
the beginning Aunt Merrivale's plans
had been too obvious.
They were flying through the yard
now. She could not leave the train

or course Philip would be back later
to explain that he was unable to effect
an exchange into another car. Prob
ably he would spend the evening
across the section from her, and, un-
like the men, there was no place to
which Nancy could retreat.
She was genuinely surprised when
presently a strange porter came for
the suit case, placing another In the
seat in its place. She smiled to her
self with satisfaction. 1t was plain to
be seen that she had shown Graham
how she had penetrated his plan, and
he had acknowledged his defeat Idly
she wondered If he would leave the
train at Philadelphia; then mentally
she scolded herself for taking any In
terest In Philip Graham's movements.
They were well past Philadelphia
when Graham passed her on his way
to the dining car. and Nancy rather
admired him for his persistence In re-
naming away from her At least he
was too clever to betray his disap-
pointment that his ruse had failed.
The night had settled down. Lights
were dull, and reading was impossible.
Nancy had answered the first call for
dinner, and she resigned herself to
idling the long hour until the berths
were made up. The message calling
her home had been vague In the ex-
treme, and in its very vagueness 1t
was the more alarming. Her father
might be dying for all she knew, and
the thought bore down upon her.
She was peculiarly sensitive to
moods. and the atmosphere of the half
deserted car was depressing. Through
the closed door of the stateroom at
her back came the wailing cry of q
baby, to which was occasionally added
the more lusty note Of a growing child
Across the aisle a man played innu-
merable games Of solitaire, the sharp

steady rattle Of the train, and here and
there some man leaned Idly back In
his seat and turned his newspaper
