Shall We Have A New Well9

On Tuesday November fourteenth.
the qualified voters Of the town of Au-
dubon will be called upon to vote on a
proposition of securing a new well for
the town. At the present time the city
water supply is inadequate to the de-
mands. A good share Of the time last
summer, the wells were so low that the
creek had to be resorted to, and we all
know how unhealthy creek water is.
There are two things to be taken into
consideration. First of all, is the fire
protection. Do we want to run the risk
of fire breaking out and not have
enough water to fight the fire within Sec
ond. Do we want to run the risk of an
epidemic spreading over the town as
the result of impure creek water? When
these matters have been thoroughly
considered, we do not believe that tho
voters and taxpayers will allow the
matter of a new well to be voted down.
The town council has acted very wisely
in the matter in that they are submit
ting the matter to vote instead of put
ting in the well without the consent of
the people, which right they had under
the law. We consider the town council
good conservative lot of business fell

it fun to have near neighbor with
whom the qualities of the efforts put
forth may be compared and discussed
and one stove has plenty of cooking
room for two people, so perhaps this is
just as well.
Against the wall in the south end of
room is a high grey painted cupboard
which, like most other cupboards, has
the glass doors above and wooden ones
below. Here are kept the sugar, lard,
and other foods which, when they are
needed, are taken down and placed on
the instructors table, small one just
in front of the cupboard, where the
students go to get them. When the
cooking is done, the dishpans hanging
on the wall behind the long table are
taken down and the dishes washed.
Then the dish-towels are finished out
and the girls are through.
In this kitchen we have already spent
many pleasant hours cooking and
studying the physiological effects OF
foods and here we aim to spend many
more such hours before the school-yea
closes. ALICE KRAUs.

In The English Department.
Lost In The Woods.

Jane, about five years old and Harry,
about three, lived with their father and
mother in a rather lonely place. Their
nearest neighbors were about two miles
away and as they very seldom had a
chance to play with other children they
had to amuse themselves as best they
could. 1t was never cold there as it is
here and it was one day, after little
April shower, that Jane and Harry
were out wading in the mud. As they
were going up the road Jane noticed
the rainbow stretched over the sky with
its many beautiful colors.
20, Harry, lookp' cried she excitedly
Isn't that a pretty rainbow? and its
right on that hill over there; let's try to
catch it,"
Albright, answered Harry willingly
They then started off in the direction
of the rainbow, not once thinking but
what they would get it and have great
fun, but when they reached the hill
they were disappointed.
90" cried they at once, "the rainbow
is gone" :.
TITS way over there now, maybe if
we run faster we can catch it, said
Jane.
On they went while their mother was
at home busy with her work contentedly
thinking that Jane and Harry were out
playing: but il she had looked she could
have seen them scampering over the
hill.
They had reached the top of the next
hill and below them was stretched an
enormous woods.
well, cried Harry with disappoint-
ment, Its gone again.

A Tip over In A BobsIed.

On long hill near town fifteen or
twenty persons were engaged in sliding
ON an old sled which was equipped with
fat runners and was in a condition
which might promote a tip over at any
time.
The track being on the left hand side of
the road was slanting and for this reason
we were forced to keep the front sled,
which determined the steering, pulled
toward the right in order to save the
load from shooting into the ditch. We
had loaded her extra heavy and while
travelling at speed near thirty miles
per hour, something happened. 1t was
no doubt due to striking little dry
place with the front sled which shifted
the fore end toward the right where
the road was entirely dry. This
brought the fore end to a sudden stand
still while in second the rear end
swung around like whip till it struck
the fatal dry spot. 1t was then the
riders were thrown off with such jar
that they reached the ground about six
feet from the sled and rolled into the
ditch. The sled now resembled a pile of
kindling wood and as several were hurt
we picked up the remains and went
home. LEON JOHNSON.

We girls of the Audubon High School
are certainly proud of our Domestic
Science kitchen. and think it one of the
pleasantest places to be found anywhere.
1t is situated in the northeast corner
of the basement of the High School
building and is entered by two swinging
doors which open out into one of the
main halls of the basement.
Let us suppose for moment that we
are some of those little gray mice which
now and then happen into the kitchen
to see if they, with their sharp eyes and
keen sense of smell, cannot detect
something good to eat. We find our
selves in a large room, its actual size
being about twenty eight by thirty
feet. 1t can readily be seen that a
kitchen of these dimensions would af-
ford plenty of moving space, and more
too, for the nine or ten girls who work
in each class. The floor of the kitchen
is in large squares of cement and the
white steel ceiling makes the place
bright in almost all kinds of weather,
a thing most DESTROYS for cooking as all
housekeepers know.
When the girls arrive, they step at
once to the corner sink and wash their
hands at the faucet Now, this reminds
us that the kitchen lacks one thing at
least, for although it is supplied with
plenty of cold water, a condition fully
appreciated after the dry summer, it
wants one of the conveniences most
modern kitchens have-hot water. 1t
must be remembered, however, that
this work is something new to our
school, that time has been short, and
things have to be crowded and pushed
to get even the kitchen, let alone its
equipments; and in the course of few
years we hope to have more of these
up-to- date arrangements added.
Next to the doors, on the side wall,
is black board where experiments and
recipes are written for the girls to take
down and follow AS soon as this ID
done they take their places at the tables
and proceed with their work. There
are two tables fitted up for this purpose
one long table placed along the side
of the room opposite the doors, with
room to stand and work between the
table and the wall; the other short
one placed in the north end of the
kitchen These tables are covered with
zinc and are fitted up In some such way
as the ordinary kitchen cabinet, there
being drawers in the table opening OF
the back side; and below them, about {
foot or so from the floor, is long shell
on which to keep some of the dishes.
On shelf at the front of the tables
are situated the oil stoves. Each CIR
in the class has drawer of her owr
and it is supplied with the utensils sh,
needs, such as the rolling pin, strainer
mixing bowl knives. and so on. Blu
as there is only one stove to two places
at the table two girls must use tn,
same stove. However, they all thinl

Tine conyicts Daughter.

The present day craze for plays of
doubtful moral tone makes it an expert
ment of very hazardous nature to at
tend many of the much heralded and
advertised Broadway productions. The
Convict's Daughter" drama that has
stood the test of many seasons, is one
absolutely clean in every line and ac-
tion--a play you are not afraid to take
your sister to see. and being such no
doubt counts for its wonderful success.
The action of the piece is most intense;
the interest being held throughout. The
humor with which the play abounds Is
of the truly infectious kind and the
management has spared no expense in
the equipment both senic and an ade-
quate cast. To be seen at the Opera

Jane, Maybe IL wants TO play Hide

Down they ran into the woods running
in and out among the trees trying TO
find the rainbow.
I'm tired" said Harry after they
had gone some distance.
80 am /" replied his companion,
Lets sit down here by the tree and
rest.
'No. / want to go home, sobbed
Harry, the tears beginning to roll down
his cheeks.
Jane finally persuaded him to rest
awhile first and they did not sit there
long till they were both sound asleep.
In the meantime their mother was
very uneasy. 1t was beginning to get
dark and she hadn't seen them since
noon. When the father came home
she told him about it and they both
went out to look for the children. After
about an hours search they found them
here by the tree huddled up close
together. They carried them home and
put Thorn into their little beds and
imagine their joy when they woke up
again. OLGA CHRISTENSEN.
