Ny own Sweetheart:

My own Sweetheart:
Our wedding day is almost here. By
this time next week I will be your
wife. I am caunting the days and
hours until we will be together in our
little home. 1t has been such fun to
buy all the furniture and l can think
of only one thing more which is re-
ally necessary and have found a bar
gain in that.
Let me tell you, Dear, what good
luck I have had this afternoon. While
l was rummaging around in the gar
ret l found an old sewing machine of
mothers. I flew down stairs to tell
her about it. She said l could have it
and I know she will be surprised and
delighted when she hears how much l
will be allowed for it on a new ma
chine. l had been reading the adver-
tisements of The FREE sewing ma
chine, saying they would trade in old
machines and allow a full legitimate
value for them.
I hurried down to the store imme-
diately. The lovliest machine I ever
saw stood on the floor. l was sure
was looking at piece of parlor fur
niture and would not believe
it was a sewing machine
till the salesman opened it and
said, Gust sit down and try it and see
how you like it." Surprised-well

STUDENTS TO STUDY
LESSONS AT SCHOOL

A new system in the division OF
time at high school will be used next
term. School will begin at S25 O'Clock
and close at 11:55 o'clock running
three periods, each of 65 minutes du-
ration. An hour and twenty minutes
will be given for noon, school starting
at 1:15 o'clock and running two
periods each of 65 minutes duration.
Each period will be divided. Twenty
five minutes will be given for recita-
ton and the remaining forty minutes
will be given for the preparation of
the next days lesson.
This plan is being used in Newark
and Kansas City schools and has been
found satisfactory Failures have been

large per cent of the students do not
prepare their work at home and con-
