SCHOOL NOTES
Breezy Items of Our School by
the Normal Instructor

The Normal Literary Society
of the West Liberty High School
will give on next Friday night
one of the best programs they
have ever given given in the col
lege auditorium. This program
will be'made up of songs, plays,
recitations, medleys, music, ora
tions, etc.
This society is one week late
with their program on account of
the High Schoolers being due to
give a program last'Friday night,
but for some reason best known
to themselves they failed to show
up. We hope this explanation is
sufficient to explain the cause Of
our delay. Everybody in town
and the neighborhood who wish
to enjoy a pleasant evening is
cordially invited to be present at
this our last entertainment for
the year, free of any charge
whatever.
Our deDartmeut is still holding
up we'll in numbers and the in

that they would not give one day
Of the review for three of the or

to keep the interest up as long
as there is a day to teach.
Our department has accepted
the invitation Of our Principal to
give the Commencement play
this year, and it is our intention
to make it a real feature" of
the Commencement week. While
we do not intend for it to inter-
fere with our school work, yet
we mean to give it enough atten-
tion to make it one of the lisast
febJ 5yabIe affairs Of the school
closing, Notwithstanding some
have said our department could
not produce a play worth seeing.
We only ask you to wait and
watch the comparative produc-
tions of the different depart
ments and then make your esti-

by each
We do not deena it necessary
to remind our friends that we
had a ball game in town last Sat
urday, and that our boys acquit-
ted themselves with their usual
good work and sent our visitors
home with a determination to
play better ball later on when
we go to visit them.

Pinklets Will Clear
the Complexion

Pinklets, the new laxative pills, do not
wear out their effect before accomplish
ing their work of correcting constipation.
You have heard it said so often Of other
laxatives that they were fine at the start
but that they have no effect now. Pink
lets do not lose their effect because they
do not stimulate the bowels to over-exer-
ton. They assist nature so gently that
the action is regular and thorough, yet
without gripping. Pinlslets put the liver,
stomach and bowels in harmonious, per-
feet working order. They are the laxa-
tive YOU should use to clear the COM
plexion, arouse the sluggish liver and
correct biliousness
A short trial OF Pinklets will convince
you that they are the ideal laxative.
Every druggist can now supply you with
Pinklets at rs cents per bottle.

"EFFiclENcY ON THE FARM.
Dept. of Agriculture Sends Out II
terestins Lecture or Above.

The department of agriculture has
given out for publication a most in :
teresting article on Efficiency on the
sistant dairy instructor Mr.. Leland
says in part the following:
Why should not, the farmer, who
must feed the world, and must supply
the raw products To the manufacture
ers, study his business We must
study our cropping systems, our dairy
methods, the transportation and dis
tribution and the markets where our
products are sold TO the consumer.
We must become more efficient in
our farm work. Efficiency and sue
cess are synonymous in the business
world. and success means greater
production at a less expense and n
more economical disposal of the
product. The greatest amount of
work accomplished with the least ef-
fort is efficiency. The more efficient
we become in our work the greater
will be our production and the lower
our cost of operation.
The same methods of business
management employed by the great
business enterprises of the world are
applicable to our farm operations: and
when applied will lower the cost of
production, and enable us to distribute
our product at less expense and to
market at better advantage. 1t will
bring greater efficiency to our work,
and will mean greater success in our
life. better citizenship for our state
and nation. and larger profits for our
pocket books"
