various stores are so attractive and
inviting that shoppers are irresisti-
bly, drawn within to purchase that

progressive young people who are
bound to make a success of their lit
erary effort.
The bi-weekly meeting of the Lit
erary society was held in the assem-
bly, room of the high school Friday
afternoon, Dec. 8. A pleasing pro-
gram was rendered and an interest
ing debate furnished a subject for
controversy. 1t was Resolved, That
Free Trade Would Be Beneficial to
the United States" Those who took
the affirmative side were Abraham
Harris, Edward Dapper and Mar
garet Kahleis. The negative side
was upheld by Robert Schultz, Har-
riet McAndrew and Norman Swingle.
The latter or junior side won over
their opponents, the Seniors. The
judges report was reserved until
the next meeting.
The operetta entitled "a Merry
Company was presented by the
grade pupils in the auditorium Tues
day evening. $50 youngsters took
part and in the closing act were all
on the stage, making a very pretty
picture indeed. There were the airy
fairies dressed in pink over white,
sparkling with glittering stars, the
cute little brownies with their frolic-
some antics, three little policemen,
little but oh my! how powerful to
keep order. The drill by the COM
pany of cadets coached by Prof. Mark
Greasy was special feature which
ELECTED no end of praise. Should
these boys be called to arms in the
future to protect their nation their
early training will be of much value
to them. The performance was con-
sidered a great success which was
very gratifying to the teachers and
pupils who worked so arduously for
many weeks to bring this merry
company before the public. Receipts
were $40.
