Worked the Ladies.

Some of the Lordburg la dies who are members of the Eastern Star, and some who are not, are mourn ing the loss of their supply of hair combings, an occasional dollar, and their belief that any one who claims to be a member of that order is all right. A woman who gave her name as Mrs. Futile, accompanied by youth, called on several prominent ladies of the order, and represented that she was in the hair business, telling the Stars that if they had saved their hair combing she would make them into switches at very reason able rate, because she too was a Star. Before the local Star could give the grand hailing sign and test the visitor she would explain that the youth with her was not a Star, and they must be careful to not give away any of the secrets of the order or the youth might absorb them. She never would get far enough away from the youth to be tested. She would also sell the Star bottle of splendid hair restorative, at the nominal price of one dollar. She visited most of the members of the lodge, and skip ped out on the night train, taking all the hair combings with her. It is said she worked the members of the Eastern Star in Deming, after she left here. She also worked the order in Albuquerque, Gallup and other places. At the next meeting of the grand lodge there will be given a side degree, that ol the sacred hair. Only New Mex leo members who are short their saving of combings will be allowed to take this degree. Some of the members of the local lodge of Pythian Sisters tell the Liberal they are glad they are not Stars Lordsburg Liberal.

The success Of this school has been
due. I believe, to the fact that wo
have held closely to the old Virginia
traditions and to the thorough clas-
steal standard. AS a small college we
have offered few electives. but 1t has
been our effort to maintain an honest
and thorough curriculum and to offer
the very best advantages in the special

cordance with Virginia ideals we have
also striven to maintain as high a

and development OF manners as In

steadfastly at this ideal.

synonym among the best business
men Of the South for the thoroughness
in Its preparation OF young men and

The basis OF the origin OF this

nish the best to be had in the way

that extent that they demand OF us
