his uncle, A. C. Baker, who picked
them himself from the tree at Lake

cold weather is over.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Items of Interest From the DEBORAH
High School, Reported by Our
Special Correspondent.

The inter-sch elastic debate be-
tween the Forest City and DEBORAH
high schools will be held in the as
sembly room Feb. I'd at 1880 o'clock
Two of the members of the Forest
City team are of last years team
that won nine times before being de-
feated.
The Declamatory Contest will be
held in the assembly room on Feb
10th at 7:30 o'clock. This contest
will be interesting, as all of the 1t
contestants are doing their best to
win.
The base ball team, through the
kindness of the business men, are as
sured of good suits for base ball in
the spring. We are very thankful
to the business men for their gener-
osity and for their interest in the
school. Although it is yet early for
base ball, several games have been
scheduled for this season.
A new oak wall case, made by the
students of the manual training de-
partment, has been installed in the
laboratory, to contain the physical
apparatus.
An operetta, 1.-THE Captain of Ply
mouth" will be given by the high
school the latter part of March.
Mr.. and Mrs. N. l.. Bailey are
leaving, at the end of this week, for
three months tour of Europe and
northern Africa. The high school is
eagerly looking forward to the talk
which Mr.. Bailey has promised to
give upon his return to DEBORAH. We
join in wishing them a very pleasant
voyage.
Lawler-D DEBORAH Basket Ball Game
When the Lawler team appeared
on the floor Saturday night, every
one predicted a hard struggle. The
visitors surpassed the home team
both in weight and reach, but fol
lowers of the DEBORAH quintet de-
pended upon the we'll known speed
of the home players.
The hope of DEBORAH was moi
shattered, for no sooner had the bal
gone up in the center than Nicolas
key rolled in basket, which proved
to be only one of long series. From
the start the game was clearly De.
corah's.
The first half closed with a very
uneven score, and the visitors gained
but little in the second half. The
game was Decorah's Al to IL.
The visitors lost chiefly through
lack of team work, and failure of in
dividuals to stick to their own op
ponent Speed and good individual
work won the game for Decoral
though the team work was not at al
times of the best.

Couldn't Fool the Boy.

The other day in one of the coun-
try schools not hundred miles from
DEBORAH, they were having a recita-
ton in geography. The teacher was
asking about different countries of
the world, and what different coun-
tries produced. She then asked the
question: Where do we get our
coffee?" Several hands went up and
the answer came in a chorus From
Sears, Roebuck e Co."
