Exercises at Whittier School.

The usual Thanksgiving exercises
we're given at the Whittier school on
wednesday afternoon, the two lower
rooms uniting in the presentation of
their programs, and the third and
fourth rooms combining for the same
purpose. Many visitors-parents and
friends Of the children-were present
and special permission was granted,
also, to the fourth, fifth, and the
two eighth grades of the high school
building to attend with their
teachers, there being no programs in
their respective rooms.
T Among the especially good mum.
bers were Thanksgiving dialogue,
"Grandmother's Pie,'' and "a Feast
OF the Nations by the pupils OF
Miss Hayden's room, a popcorn
Song" and a ''Wishbone' recitation
by some of Miss Davis pupils, anG
a dramatization of ''Hiawatha' &
Childhood by Miss Huse's little
folks. This last, it was explained
was in keeping with the celebration
the Indians having formed so i'm
portant a part of that first Thanks
giving inaugurated by our Pilgrim
Fathers so long ago.
The tots from Miss Tompkins
room were vociferously applauded
and one of the very best numbers
given by these little people was "A1
Alphabetical Feast" composed fo1
the occasion by their teacher.
Thanksgiving offerings were
brought, as has been the custom fo]
many years among the pupils of the
Whittier school, and these were dis
tributed among several familie!
where, on account of illness or fo]
other reasons, they were thought tt
be most greatly needed.
In*connection with these exercise.
it is only fair and proper to give the
teachers and all---of the Whit
tier school that praise which is thei,
due for formulating programs 81
pretty and appropriate and training
their pupils to present them in 81
excellent manner.s

Hard Surfaced Roads the Cheapest.

& EE ) =
Il Everywhere at the present time in
this vicinity country roads are in an
almost impossible condition, owing
in q great measure to the phenome-
nal weather we have been having
There are @oases in the Sahara of
mud, however, the few stretches Of
gravel and rock-surfaced roads are iii
excellent condition. What relief it
must be to a farmer driving a
heavily-loaded team to get off the
slush and mud onto a; piece Of good
hard roadway. The country roads of
the future must be hard surfaced.
It will require time and money to
get such roads, but in the end they
are the cheapest roads. a well
graveled or rock-surfaced road, at a
small maintenance expense, can be
kept in good condition all the time
and is.even better in wet than in
dry weather. .s

High School Exercises.

Thanksgiving was appropriately
observed at the high school assembly
rooms on Wednesday of last week.
There were about $50 pupils crowded
into the room and an excellent pro-
gram was rendered. 1t was evident
to all who heard the program that
we have a great deal of musical
ability in our high school this year.
The instrumental solos by Anna
Paulson, Ross Foltz, George Small,
Allan, Ross, Gerald McDougal and
Donald Marshall were all exceed
Fingly we'll given and each was
heartily encored. Hazel Scalberg
gave vocal solo which was also en-
cored. The following gave 1ecita-
tions which showed careful pre- para
ton: .~Myra Dickey, Gertrude
Bishop, Irene Umbehocker and
Florence Rawn. Compositions we're
read by Florence Holman, Glennie
Cakes and Mildred James. These
were well given. :.
Two numbers that deserve special
mention were by the high school
chorus and the high school orchestra.
The chorus, consisting of about 20
boys and girls, had been trained by
Mrs. Stroeter and gave some very
fine selections. With a little more
practice we shall have chorus that
would do credit to village much
larger than Princeton.
The high school orchestra, consist
ing of about II high school and grade
pupils, was organized at the COM
mencement of the tall term of school
and, for the amount of practice, has
made =: very rapid progress. The
leader of this orchestra is Donald
Marshall, and he expects to have a
first class orchestra by commence
ment time. It may not be improper
to state, in passing, that he gives
his time to this work each week and
that his charges are absolutely
nothing. ~.2. 49,

we'll chosen words, called on Presi-
dent Bryson for speech. The
president happily responded and
promised, with the hearty co-opera-
uion of his associates, that he would
do his utmost to make the 1914 fair
bigger and better than ever before,
a sentiment which was heartily ap-
p]auded. Short speeches were also
made by J. A. Allen, Peter Jensen,
J. J. Skahen, Nels Robideau, George
Schmidt, Frank Goulding Chas.
Keith, Dan Sundberg and R. G..
Dunn. Mr.. Mcmillan proved an
apt and witty POSTMASTER and con-
tributed not little to the hilarity
of the occasion.
For the free use of the hall A. E..
Allen was given a vote of thanks,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Larsen were
also thanked for the admirable
manner in which the bountiful re-
past had been served The ladies
also thanked the men folks for in
viting them to the feast. The en-
joyable proceedings concluded with
the singing of Aud Lang Syne.
Next December the village mem.
bers will again entertain their
country cousins, and it is hoped that
every member Of the society will be
accompanied by his better half. In
the meantime let all work in unison
to make the 1914 fair excel all its
predecessors. The Mile Laos County
fair is now one of the best county
fairs of the state. Let us aim tc

In the spirited struggle between
the young ladies for the, first prize
the tours to Europe-we are afraid
that, in the past week or two, the
beauty and desirability of the second
prize-the trips to the Yellowstone
National park-have been overlooked.
We want to repeat the declaration
we made a number of weeks ago, that
these splendid American tours will
form an enviable vacation outing for
the young ladies who may win them
and will be ample compensation for
the efforts and the work put forth
by any young lady in campaign to
win even the first prizes. In other
words, no matter who wins the first
prize or who wins the second prize,
both young ladies will be amply re-
paid for all of the work they have
done in the campaign.
The Yellowstone tours are to be
provided by the famous Wylie Way
Company, and this company will take
n special interest in the two young
ladies who will visit the park as the
guests of The Sentinel.

Schrader to put all the present in

statute which makes it obligatory on
the sheriff to put the county prison
ers to work on the roads in case the
county commissioners make such a
request. This Sheriff Schrader is per-
fectly willing to do for he is n good

see the road completed as early as

Switzerland and France. In every
way the tours will prove among .the
most delightful that could possibly be
arranged.
The homeward journey across the
Atlantic will occupy about eight
days. The Cymric has been described

vessel of modern and delightful APP
pointments, and every day the young
