1t is understood that rat traps are

and will soon be left on the shelf with
the copper-toed boots. This is becaus :
rat parties are becoming the craze.
1t is said that small parties meet in

The Athletic Spirit
BY e. X. HURST.

tween the High Schools of Humboldt,
Pawnee, Auburn and Falls City.
1t Is the sincere desire of our
High School this year to heal the
sores SO long kept raw by improper
spirit in the contest.
We believe athletic contests should
breed friendship rather than emnities;
and further, we are of the conviction
that unless these contests are friend
ly they are a detriment to the school
life, and should not be tolerated.
| am strongly in favor of athletics,
and If space permitted should like to
tell of the many manly and womanly
qualities | have seen brought forth in
this High School. ! should like to
compare average grades of our ath7
letes with the rest of the school. ]
should like TO tell you how our girls
and boys have sacrificed personal
pleasures for the good Of their High
School. and thus trained themselves
in that greatest of all lessons. the
submerging of self for the good of
society"
But this is not my purpose here.
We intend to be ladies and gentle
men. win or lose, in every contest
this year. We want TO win, but we'd
rather lose all the games honestly
and in a genlemanly manner, than to
win a single one in any other way.
To The end then that W may lend
our influence to furthering the prop
er spirit in athletic contest, and that
lasting friendship may grow II of
them as did last year in II contests
with Nebraska City and recumseh;
and this year with Humboldt and Eia
watlla. we have, by unanimous vote
of the students, discarded all yells
that are intended to roast opposing
teams, and what we say of other
teams shall. in the future, be COM
plimentary. Then all will be happier
as We cheer our teams on to victory.
| might we'll add, that no student is
allowed to take part in any athletic
contest who is not up in his work;
neither is he allowed TO be a member
of the team if. to the knowledge of
the coach, he uses tobacco in any
form-December Orange and Black,

The True School Spirit

Most students like 10 hear other
school yells as well as their own but
that false school spirit makes them
drown out the yells of the rival
school. Thus we lose the pleasure
of hearing the yells rs well as the
satisfaction of being fair.
Falls City is coming TO the front
as an advocate of the true school
spirit. Owing to the efforts of Prof
essor Hurst, among the students, our
students do not publicly roast or
drown out other school yells. Some
towns are adopting a similar policy,
due In a measure 10 the work of
the Southeastern Nebraska State
Teachers associations. We want the
good work To go IN. Push it and
soon more schools will be in line
with the true school spirit. Just
think how nice it would be, to go to
a neighboring town and not have a
roast hurled at you. Think of that;
then work all the harder TO instil in
our school the true school spirit.
Just one word more. Take a pride
in your school. BE proud of your
paper, your athletics. your music your
debating society, and of the ladylike
and gentlemanly conduct of our stu
dents, at home or away. Then with
all this in mind work for the real
good of our school. Should your
conduct be thus commendable, you
will have within you the real spirit
of the refined lady of gentleman

School spirit. what is it? The
question is often asked but seldom
correctly answered. Most people say
school spirit is true pride in our
SCHOOL. True, but is this enough?
The true school spirit is not merely
pride I'm your own school but In
others. Ii is absent when you RUN
DOWN another school. When you
u down another school you con.
vey the impression to a stranger that
all of your fellow students are like
yourself. Who desires to go to a
school where all the students de
ride other schools? All students
should love to be fair, but when they
run down n rival school they are
unfair.
At basket ball game or field meet,
do not roast the other teams. Be
fair. Roasting cause hard feelings
and injuries your W school more
than its rival. As You do not like

real heart of the golden rule. What
soever ye would that men should do
to you, do we even unto them Build
up your own school but in so doing
do not run down another, as such
conduct is destructive of your own.
Another form of roasting Is drown
Ing out the other school yells. Such
conduct makes the other school
think that you believe they cannot
give a yell, worthy of your attention.

Christmas Candies

Homemade sweets for both chill
dren and grown-ups are the most sat
i%sfactory, for then one can know eX-
actly the ingredients that are used in
their manufacture.
The foundations for most candies
is fondant. Take for making it, five
cups II graduated sugar and add two
cupftls of cold water and set it on the
back of the stove until the sugar is
melted. Add n teaspoonful of cream
of tartar dissolved in a little water.
This does away with the sickly sweet
taste. Put the pan over the front Of
the FIRE, where it will boil. Do not
stir it after it is hot ana do not shake
the pan. When it has boiled a few
minutes, try it by dropping a tiny bit
in a cup of cold water. Do this fire.
quently, moving the pan where it will
keep hot but rot boil, for it changes
so rapidly from one degree to another.
When the sugar dropped in cold wa.
ter is firm enough to make a rather
hard ball when rolled between the
fingers, but is not crisp, pour it into a
shallow pan and leave to cool till il
will wrinkle when the pan is tipped.
Stir il with a large spoon until it is
quite cool. If ii does not harden
enough TO use, put it into the pan at
the back of the stove again until it is
melted, then let it boil again, trying
often. If, on the other hand, the fond.
asst be found grainy, add a cupful of
cold water and boil again until the
right consistency is attained. 1t may
take a little practice to make perfect.
This fondant will keep good for weeks
in a jar covered with waxed paper.
With the fondant as a basis all sorts
of delightful sweets can be made.

A Land for New Homes

Do you realize the excellent chances of future benefit bound to
accrue to you, if you make your new bone in the Big Horn Basin
of Wyoming:
You can homestead a Government Irrigated farm or buy one
outright from private corporations, in either case on very easy
terms, and your farm will be located in a scenic country of splendid
climate, protected by grand mountain ranges with coal, high grade
oil, natural gas, timber, stone and cement material, all around you.
Add to this the fact that the Burlingtons new Wyoming main line
will traverse the heart of that country and you have not only a de-
srable place 10 live, an excellent market for your products, but an
absolute certainty of greatly increased value to your lands. Does
not the history of land values that has gone on under your own oh
servation make this plain to you?
M0NDElL $40 ACRE LANDS in Northwestern Wyoming are
going fast. The government land Offices in that locality are having
an unprecedented rush of work receiving filings from homesteaders
coming from all parts of the country, who realize the value of these
lands and the excellent character of that country for a home.

II shall not be my purpose in this
article to justify athletic sports. nor
To criticize them. | want, merely, to
state briefly the spirit with which the
students of the Falls City High school
hope to carry on their contests.
A time was when hazing the lower
classmen was considered showing
class spirit" In athletic contests the
school who could root the loudest
and roast" the hardest seemed to
think they had won half the battle.
In fact We confess that we are guilty
of harboring yells, the purpose of
which was to roast the visiting team,
and II possible rattle" them so as
to make their playing below what 1t
normally would have been. And this,
too. in recent years.
But we've got another idea now,
and it shall be the purpose of this
High School to live up to it,
My object. here. is to set forth
briefly that idea and then invite the
critical world TO watch us live up to
our convictions.
We have class organizations, and
class spirit is high, but class fights
are not to be heard of.
The Freshman. Sophomore. Junior
and Senior classes, each believe they
have the best class in the world and
each is striving to prove it, but they
are MOI carrying the notion that be-
cause they are the best, no one else
is any good,
Glass fights, flag fights, etc, are
things OF the past and the energy
that has been spent to prove the
other classes inferior. is going to be
spent by the pupils of each class in
proving their class superior. And
there is a great difference.
In the same way, we expect to car.
~ on athletics.
Athletic contests have too often in
the past meant bitter feeling between
the schools competing. In fact it has
ended thus SO often that a feeling
of almost hatred has grown up be.

Home Made Christmas Gifts

Christmas is nearly upon us again.
and gifts that are to be made at home
should now be well under way.
A few suggestions for pretty and
seryiceable articles are given on this
page. The materials required are in
expensive and the work can be quick
ly executed.
Applique is one of the most artistic
forms of needlework decoration. A
pillow design is shown with butterflies
of green linen applied with a heavy
black COUGHING cord to brown crash.

\ fiat wallet. or a leather case for
holding bills is a needful article when
travelling. A strip of ooze leather is
faced in white silk, the two are ma
chine-stitched together. Little pockets
are turned up at each end, and into
these the bills are slipped. The leather
is folded through the middle and fas-
tened with a strap, made of the
leather lined with silk, and closed with

chopped pineapple, candied cherries,
chopped figs. dates, etc. Cover the
top with fondant. Let it harden a lit
tie, then cut in small squares.
Chocolate Creams. - Use confec-
toners chocolate for these. Melt it.
Take good stiff %fondant, flavor it as
desired, form it into balls. and drop
them into the melted chocolate. If
liked, chopped nuts. dates, etc, can
be mixed with the fondant, and makes
a pleasant change.
Chocolate AImd1ds.-Blanch the
almond meats by pouring boiling water
over them and letting them stand a
few moments. Turn the hot water off
and cover with cold, when the skin
may easily be rubbed off between the
thumb and forefinger. Break some
sweet chocolate into small pieces, put
into a dish and set in a larger pan of
hot water. When the chocolate is
melted put a blanched nut meat ON
the point of a skewer or darning
needle, or use a candy dipper and dip
into the melted chocolate. Then lay
on oiled paper to cool. When the
chocolate coating becomes set dip a
second time. Flavor the melted choc-
olate with vanilla if desired.
