LESS WORKF OR
WOMEN
LabOr-Saying Methods Re-
suit in More Rest and
Recreation.

Modern women have many convent
ences and labor-saving devices that
their mothers and grandmothers never
dreamed of. As n result the woman
of the present generation has much
more time for rest and recreation.
One of the greatest conveniences,
which at the same time is an economy
is the privilege housewives now have
of buying standardized brands of
ready-prepared or partially-prepared
foods
\ striking illustration of this is that
famous food product known as H-O
Oatmeal. This widely-used breakfast
food is steam-cooked for moro than
two hours before it leaves the mill
You need to cook it only twenty min
utes and il is ready to serve.
In addition TO its convenience, H-O
Oatmeal is one Of the most valuable
food products that has ever been in
trOduced. Made from carefully selec-
ted white oats, it contains just the
right elements for building and
Strengthening the human body.
H-O is good for old and young, weak
and strong alike. Make it a regular
part of your breakfast for awhile, and
YOU will be most agreeably surprised
at the results.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Much interest is taken i'm the prep
aration for the annual football game
between the Junior and Senior classes
of the High School. This game, which
is staged for Friday afternoon, prom
ises to be a thriller. Being an inter
class game, the regular teams are all
broken up and the best material from
the first team is equally divided be
tween the ? classes. This makes >
teams equally matched and eager to
uphold the class colors.
The Senior line, composed Of Burger,
Christian, Lewis, Tilton. Aynes and
Gavin, is equal in weight and deter
mination to that of the Juniors, who
are Chick, Meadows, Moosau, Morri-
son, Mayfield, Thompson and Outlet.
The hack field positions are well filled,
those of the Senior team being Herr
berger, Williams, Herr, Parsons and
Merriam. Those of the Junior team
are Nuffer, Brown, Hobby and f. Herr.
A good referee completes the list
Many supporters are eager for the
whistle and as many outsiders as can
come will be welcome.
Construction work was started this
morning on a new building which is
to serve as a cafeteria at the High
School.
This building will be situated be
tween the west wing of the main strnc-
ure and the art room. Unlike the art
room, the cafeteria will be finished to
harmOniZe with the main buildings. 1t
will be plastered on the outside and
finished with plaster board on the in
side. A beautiful wainscoting will run
up feet, surmounted by a plate rail.
Inside measurements are 30X70 feet
The work is under the supervision of
Mr. MaskeY. the manual training in
stTuctOr.
Later in the year a larger building
will be constructed to accommodate the
music department aud 10 serve as n
gymnasium.
At a meeting of the Junior class yes
,terday the staff was elected for car
Iryng on the work of La Solana," the
High school annual Those elected to
put out the book were: Editor-in- -chief,
Estellc Needham; business manager,
Truman Thompson; art editor, Ella
simmons; boys athletics, Ralph Brown /;
girls athletics, Mary Conley; joke edi-
tor, Lee Nuffer; literary editor, Helen
Grizzle: dramatics, Merton Gray; so
cietV Emma Noteworthy.
La Solana," being a Junior publica-
ltion, is usually started along the first
OF the year i'm order that all inter
estmg material may be picked up. As
lis the usual custom, the Juniors say
they will yurpass all previous efforts i'm
turning out an artistic piece of work.
Every year the publication is improved
and there is no reason why the pres
cnt class should not make their boast
good.

and located suitable distance beyond
the crown or road-bed proper. The
water enters this cross tile by means
of drain-heads placed in bitches still
nearer the crown and into which all
water from the roadbed eventually
flows. However, single sub-soil
system is sometimes used in which
the drain is situated directly under
the crown of the roadway and con-
sequently any repairs necessitates the
disturbance of a greater or less
amount of the roadway thereby him
dering, if not altogether stopping,
traffic. The above double system can
be installed at intervals of one eighth
of mile or more depending on the
per cent of grade and if properly con-
structed is very satisfactory.
A highway may be otherwise good
and still be of comparatively little
value by reason of steep grades. Such
grades limit not only the loads that
can be hauled over them but also the
speed of the travel, without any COM
pensating advantage. A grade that
is so steep that a descending vehicle
must be held back by brakes or the
holding back of the team causes an
unnecessary expenditure of energy;
there is, of course, a corresponding
amount wasted in ascending the
grade. In almost all cases steep
grades can be avoided by judicial
location of the road. However, since
the roads are already laid out in this
locality, it would be rather difficult
to adjust the grade unless more funds
were made available.
Roads may be dry and solid and
have easy grades and still be quite
unsatisfactory because of their rough
ness. The roughness may be due to
uneven places in the surface or to
stones lying about, but, whatever the
cause, it is an undesirable condition
and is both annoying and detrimental
to public travel.
If this does not find its way into
the waste basket, you will be pestered
with more similar stuff as the weeks
go by.
Next week a continuation of this
topic.

SWINDLER FOOLS FARMERS
New Scheme Worked on Agricultural
lists by Man Who Has a Fake
Seed Proposition.

Minneapolis, Nov. 29.-The scheme
of a get-rich-quick seedman who has
been selling pearl millet seed worth
8 or 10 cents pound to farmers in
the vicinity of Annandale, MINI. at So
a pound, has just been exposed by the
state seed laboratory at the Minnesota
college of agriculture.
According to a letter received from
a banker at French Lake near AMMAN
dale, the man has been going about
the country selling what he has called
the Wonderful Forage Plant" To aid
in getting the attention of farmers
he has distributed a green hand-bill,
showing young man standing in Il
field of these wonderful plants, with
the tops of the plants above his head.
The plant, according to the green
hand-bilPs description, is a marvel
and can be mown down when it
reaches five or six feet for hay, and It
will grow up again so quickly that
from three to five mowings may be
secured in a season.
w. L. Oswald at head of the uni
versity seed laboratory, after making
his analysis, reports that the seed
sample sent him was pearl millet,
sometimes called cat tailed millet, and
really inferior to the ordinary sore
ghuns for the purpose set forth in the
green hand-bill.
