SCHOOL NOTES.

Last Friday was book inspection day.
All teachers inspected the books of
their pupils and levied fines for excess
i've wear and mutilation. The object
of the fine system is not to collect few
extra dollars for the book fund but to
teach pupils to respect property that
is not theirs and to make them feel that
they are responsible for the books In
their charge. 1t is hoped that parents
will cooperate with the school in put
ting into actual effect the payment of
book fines.
The Grammer room boys wearing
the Pink" were the victors in the fast
game played with the circular pig-skin
week ago and consequently seven
broad smiles posed for picture. For
yesterday games were planned for both
the boys and girls teams of the High
School. The four teams have been
practicing as hard as the weather would
allow and will put up snappy, closely
contested games. Parents and friends
have standing and urgent invitation
to attend the games every Friday at $3.50.
The boys and girls are planning on
getting the opera house during the
winter for indoor playing If possible,
the boys will schedule number of games
with outside teames.

The Physical Geography class has
been doing some field work this week.
In their tour they studied the relative
durability of rocks and made collec-
ton of quartz, mica, feldspar and
tourmaline specimens. Before the close
of the term it has been planned to make
a number of field excursions for the
study of both Physical Geography and
Geology. An effort is being made to
bring the subjects as near the actual
life of the pupils as possible

Word from New Jersey is that Gov.

However, the Speaker is trying to be

cations are, on the other hand, that

said to be very probable that the
Speaker and the new President Will

All efforts to get President elect Viii
son to Washington in advance of the
beginning of his administration are
coming to naught. He has had nall
dozen invitations to come here, since
the country designated him as the next
occupant Of the White House for the
four years term. One of these recent
invitations was from President Taft
to come to the White House for a
visit any time in January that suited
his pleasure.

pers have been harping upon the fact

Prevent Hair Loss By
Using herpicide in Time

Did you ever try TO discover a rea-
son for the dying of a valuable plant?
You perhaps found that life was
destroyed by some insect or parasite
working about the roots and sapping
away the elements which go to sup
port plant life.
The dandruff germ exercises the
same destructive influence upon the
life of the hair. 1t forces it's way
down the follicle around the hair
bulb and thus prevents the hair from
getting proper nourishment The
hair dies and drops out.
Newbro's Herpicide prevents this
by killing the germ. 1t also frees the
scalp from the accommodations of dirt

these obstacles to clean, healthy
scalp, the hair will grow naturally
and luxuriantly.
Herpicide is known as the Original
Dandruff Germ Destroyer.
Applications may be obtained at the
