Track Meet

The Fowler Academy easily took
the county track meet at Fowler.
The score was: Fowler Friends
Academy 60; Meade High Schoola7,
Fowler High School II. No re-
cords wer. broken and on the whole
the meetwas slow. Hantla, Meade's
star track man and point winner,
was tripped by weeds and kids on
the track and had his collar bone
broken, in the first race. If he
had been in the meet the SCOPE
would undoubtedly have been very
close, but perhaps not enough to
change the decision.
A literary contest was held in the
evening at the Baptist church, which
resulted in tie, each school secur.
Ing 9 points. Meade easily won
the coveted event of the evening,
the chorus contest.

MOVIES FOR THE FAMILY
Time Not Far of When Provision
viii Be Made in Home for
Picture Shows.

A prediction may safely be made
that in the very near future provision
will be made for moving pictures in
the home. When a man decides to
build a house to cost, say, $4,000 OF
more, the architect will plan the pic
ture room in which the family and
their guests can enjoy q select pro-
gram of latest productions. 1t may
be in connection with dancing room
or II can be accommodated in much
less space. A projecting machine suit
able for the home will not be very
costly, and the films will doubtless be
delivered each week by companies Or
ganized for that special purpose. Trav-
elers returning from abroad will find
pictures Of cities and scenes they have
visited a wonderful relp In reciting to
friends and relatives incidents of the
places they have visited.
Another new industry which will
soon come into existence In all the
larger cities. will be film photography.
Children's birthdays. garden parties,
weddings and other functions which
will in later days or years recall pleas
ant memories will be thus perpetu-
ated by the film photographer. He
will eventually be considered as much
a necessity as the orchestra. I'm
doubtedly one of the most acceptable
wedding presents in days to come from
parents to bride and bridegroom will
be set of progressive films showing
the children as they advanced from
infancy to high school days. AS a
feature of the wedding festivities these
pictures would afford both amusement
and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Mechan-
les.

GROWTH OF THE LANGUAGE
Names Of Prominent Persons Are
Now Commonly Used as Verbs
and Nouns.

The growth and change which are in
separable from all living languages
cannot fail to interest the student,
and a special interest attaches to the
incorporation of the names of famous
men, the New York Sun observes.
Thus Wellington has come to mean
a sort Of book; Brougham, carriage,
and Gladstone. appropriately enough,
a travellers bag, as that great man ad-
vocated the bag and baggage" policy
which seems likely at length to be
adopted.
Other names have been turned into
verbs as well as nouns. For instance,
the murderer Burke's name Is per-
petuated in the verb burke, burked,
burking and burkism, while in quite
recent times Captain Boycott's expert
ences resulted In the language being
enriched by the phrases boycott, boy.
cotter, boycotting, etc.
The most notable case was probably
that OF the great and good man Rev
T. Bowdler, D. D., who, by publishing
family" edition of Shakespeare in
1881. added the words 'bowdlerize
and "bowdlerism" to our language.

Pittsfield, in the Berkshire hills

Brown. a man unfortunately addicted

Readers of Poetry.

A public librarian recently gave me
evidence that mans regard for poetry
is greater than woman's. Many pupil
teachers and other students frequent
his library and come in quest of books
to help them in the study of litera-
ture.
He finds that when set to study a
poet the male student generally Dor
rows that poets works to read for
himself, but the female says; ooh, l
don't want to wade through all that;
give me book that will summarize
his ideas and tell me what ought to
think about him." And the usual way
is to give the girl book that tells her
what man thinks she ought to think
about poetry.-London Chronicle.

CHARACTER SHOWS IN FACE
Good Thoughts Look Out Through
Kindly Eyes and Fair Pleas
ant Features.

Our faces are open diaries, in
which any one may read the record
OF how we speed our days, what we
think, the sort of people we are.
When we say of man that ''he has
fine face" or of woman that she
has beautiful face" we speak Of the
life back of the face. What Is a
surer Indication Of this than when
we see a child draw away from a first
glimpse of a person? What is often
so truly condemnatory as the in
stinctive remark Of child: II don't
like her face. mammal
Not always true, perhaps, not in
every instance Is the child right, but
how often is 1t uneering!
II we waste the precious passing
years In chasing butterflies and fit
ting pleasure; If we grow hard and
narrow because OF disappointments.
or through Self'indulgence. 1t is reg
istered where even the child who
draws away from US reads it.
The mind that generally thinks
good thoughts, true thoughts,
thoughts At to treasure up" looks out
upon the world through kindly eyes
and fair and pleasant features. The
face Of an evil man or woman wears
malignant saturnine aspect. that
gives the world warning Of the
inner nature.
The eyes are more eloquent than
the tongue in telling others what we
are.
We never hide from discerning
eyes as much as we sometimes think
we do. Our faces invariably tell our
stories

Those who are thinking of teaching

Oscar Perkins. Dee Sumner, and
Helen Boehler expect to go to Kan
