The sixth grade pupils com pleted their review of the United States and it's de- pendencies Wednesday of this week and are now studying the Geography of the foreign countries, which they say is not nearly so intersting. In the words of John Howard Payne. There's no place like home. "

 At a regular business meeting Arthello Bates was elected busi- ness manager of athletics for the schools. The first thing Arthello did in his new capacity was to cancel all dates for athletic con- tests. This was done because our pupils are now unable to con- tinue practice on account of cold weather.
 School will dismiss next Thurs day for a weeks vacation, on ac- count of the holidays.
 For the next two months the and eighth grade mathematics will be taught as one class. This is because both classes will be doing work in de- cimals and percentage. It will be advantageous. as forty min utes will be given to recitation. instead of twenty.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING

And as that glorious season ap-
 breaches, when the minds of men are suppoed to be occupied with thoughts of the Prince of
 Peace" and his lowly birth in
 the stable at Bethlehem, we of
 America have especial reason to
 be grateful. While nearly all the civilized CD world is engaged in deadly strife, we are pursuing the even tenor of our way and making preparations, as Tn pre- vious years. to enjoy to the full est extent the seasons festivi- ties. While this is quite natural and proper, we must not forget that just across the water are starving millions, made so through no fault of their own, and while we may not be able to assist them materially, we may do so spiritually, and if we really believe in the efficacy of prayer, let us not forget, in the midst of our festivities, to breathe petition to him whose birth we celebrate, that thls ter rible war may soon end.
 And let us remember, too. that nearer home are to be found want and suffering, this year as formerly, for the poor you have always with you

LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS Out TUo Days and Nights in
 Zero Weather.

MT. A. G. McCloskey. a clerk in the Forest Service at Snow flake. went deer hunting near Heber. last week, with a num- Der of others. Leaving camp four miles west of Heber, early Friday morning. he soon found traces of deer and trailed them into Black Canyon. He had not gone far when he became lost. He wandered through the moun- tains for two days and nights without finding any habitation. Early Sunday morning he reached Will Richards sheep camp, on Black Canyon. When he did not return to camp Friday eve- ming, the other members of his party started a search for him. in which they were joined by most of the inhabitants of that district. as we'll as by a party from Holbrook. The searchers did not, however. succeed in him until he had reached MT. Richards camp.
 There was a general expres- slon of relief and satisfaction when the news reached here that the lost was found, for though we may be moved to sorrow at the news of an ordi- nary death, the bond of human sympathy experiences a peculiar thrill at the cry of ''man over board" at sea or 'man lost" in the depths of the forest.
