W. STUDENTS
WILL TRAVEL
TRIO or COMMERCE STUDENTS
WILL SPEND FORTNIGHT in
EASTERN CITIES.

Through the efforts of S. ID. Van
~Benthuysen, dean of the university
school OF commerce., arrangements
have been made whereby the three
senior members of this department of
the university will make an extended
"Trip among the eastern states of the
country, for the purpose OF practical
study of their chosen field of work.
The young men are Herbert Stout,
Harry WhitloW and Clarence Coke.
Clarence Coke and Herbert Stout re-

Harry WhitloW lives at B~eresford, S.

which probably Will commence the
oath OF January and extend over a
period of two weeks or more.
The trip will be one OF observat-
ional study for the trio of students
in the very heart of several of the
great industrial centers of the east,
and vas brought about by a recip-
rocal arrangement with one of the
largest industries of the United Stat
es. The entire expenses of the group
will be paid upon Il mutual basis OF
advertisement.
A complete itinerary is being made
in preparation for the journey. The
young men probably will travel first
to Washington, ID. c., by way of Chi
cago and will view the workings OF
the governmental machinery at close
range. Later they will go to New
York City and there viii study the
great harbor of the American metroI
oils, the vast systems of transporta-
ton and commerce in general. The
big stock exchange, grim Wall street
many OF the mammoth printing es-
Establishments, and a number OF the
leading Industries of the huge mum,

and studied. In fact it will be the
trip of their lives for the students in
question. Every opportunity possible
will be given them to increase theiI
fund OF knowledge that will be bene-

chosen profession in commercial
work.

SANTA CLAUS
CATCHES FIRE
l.. S. ROSE HAD NARROW ESCAPE
AT THE MCCORMICK SCHOOL
HOUSE WHEN HE GOT TOO
CLOSE TO CANDLES.

l.. S. Rose acting as Santa Claus
at the Mccormick school house on
rural route No. 4 out of Mt. YER
non had a lively experience Christ
mas eve, when his gay overcoat, trim
med in cotton batting, caught on
fire. Mr.. Rose, after making a sensa-
tional appearance. amid much hand
.clapping and the jingling of sleigh
bells. stepped over by the Christmas
tree to pass III his gifts. The candles
on the tree were lighted and Mr..
Santa Claus being almost b~lindfolded
by whiskers, and other facial decora-
tions accidentally backed up against
a candle with his flimsy decorations.
Instantly the cotton caught on fire
and intense excitement prevailed.
Amidst the smoke and flames, Santa
tore off his flaming whiskers and
with the aid of some of those present
the fire was beaten out. Mr.. Rose
suffered some bad burns around the
neck and face, however, and his
hands were sufficiently blistered to
confine him to his home for several
days.

survey of the tract be made and its
feasibility determined.
