HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The four classes have held meetings
fand elected their officers for the year.
Class mottos and colors also have
| been selected.
The Sophomores held the annual
SOPHOMORE Freshmen party, in honor
of the Freshmen class, October 20. The
decorations were pretty and refresh
ments very good 1t is customary to
J initiate the green class" at this party,
Friday night Every one reported a
good time, and it is hoped that more
such social functions will be held
during the year.
The six weeks examinations were
held week ago and the results
showed that good work has been done.
A good start is a great help and it is
hoped that the present standard of
work is kept up throughout the school
year.
The junior class is selecting class
pin at present and are finding it a
rather hard task
RumOr has it that the class of 1917
has decided to give the junior recep-
ton in February, instead of June.
The reading of periodicals has been
correlated with the work of the soph-
more English and history classes. The
former have very decided interest in
the Literary Digest, for which each
member of the class has subscribed.
The American History class, through
the use of the Current Events, expect
to add interest to their class room
workd uring the remainder of the
term.
Mr.. Roseman, head of the university
extension division in La Crosse, adj
dressed the school recently.
Athletics in the high school this
year are the best they have been for
many years. The football team is do
ing wonderful work. Coaches Royal
and Gay deserve much credit for de-
veloping such a good team out of
green material.
Prospects for a championship bas-
ketball team are very bright. Four of
last years regulars are back and
with Orion in school, one cannot help
but see a successful season ahead.
There is a wealth of good material,
and every man will have to work hard
to hold position. Mr.. Gay has begun
making a schedule and the team will
start playing soon after the football
season. Then too, fans may look for
ward to a good baseball team.
Lancaster should be represented at
the track meet at Platteville next
spring. There is material and coach
for such team, and no reason for
not trying to do something along this
line of athletics.
Interest, due to football in high
school athletics has been revived. Bet
ter crowds have attended the games
played on the local grounds than any
where Lancaster has played. 1t is
hoped that the people will continue
to come out, because games have been
scheduled with the best teams in
Southern Wisconsin.

THE BACK BONE
 HAS COME BACK
Very Fashionable Now for Women to Stand Erect, for
 War Influences Fashions

The militariSm of 1915 and the guady frills of 1880 are going to vie for supremacy with the girl of the. coming spring. The woman of this year is not going to mince and shrink
 and shuffle her way through the
 world.a o, no! ,Far be she from such. On tsc other hand she is going to walk erect and with good swinging step and a perfectly normal backbone. This is the year of the. military spihe.s The backbone has "come back"
 The 1915 girl will have a wide,
 flaring short skirta little wider and little shorter than now-with the tight, well-defined waist line and
 the snug shoulders of 1S3O But she
 will carry her flouncy skirts with all the martial hauteur of this day Of
 warfare. The weekly style bulletin of the Fashion Art league issued through it's president, Mwe. Ala
 Ripley, today, says:
 Now that the 1915 silhouette is 1 finally established, emphasis should
 be placed on the moderation O.
 modes, rather than the accentuation of the extreme points of style tend
 ency The trend is so unmistakably toward the gaudy. wide-skirted period of 1870: that it can be assum- ed with safety that the girl of 1915
 will be modified reincarnation of i the girl of the early period which
 later developed the hoop-skirt and the crinoline. But the military in- fluence from which it is impossible for fashion to escape will be shown in quite commendable way. Tue girl of 1915 will not mince and shuffle her way shrinkingly along the street. She will walk erect with a good swinging stride and perfect iy normal spine. Tn this way the re- flection of the European war will be seen in woman's dress rather than in the cut. fabric or color. The gowns of the spring and summer will there fore require a severe and simple handling of a really very fancy style. 'There will also be some very sem sible innovations in the neck dress.

 Every seat was taken in the vast chamber whom the house was called to order an hour before the regular time.

Mrs. Antoinette Funk of the congressional committee, and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, presi' dent of the international Council for Woman Suffrage, were the guests of Mrs. Champ Clark and her charming daughter Miss Genevieve, who are both ardent workers in the women's cause, of which the speaker himself IS friend and advocate. Many prom inent members of the house after the vote expressed themselves as be- lieving that the enormous interest taken in the debate by the wom-n of the country proved that the right ot ennai suffrage has become one of national impoS -ancs, and that wom- < ans enfranchisement is only mat ter of tsme

acquired great fame as an X-ray ex-' pert.
 In the French hospital service are employed five feminine English sur
 geonS alone, besides many ordinary practitioners. Women doctors have
 proven invaluable to the hospital authorities, whose firmly intrenched opposition to sthe employment of
 women on mems works and sex-basis
 has at last been forced to capitulate,
 owing to the magnificent service and
 wonderful efficiency demonstrated by
 the heroic women of all nationalities.
 While it is admitted in the Lon
 don press that the women have
 proved their efficiency and that
 more fortunate than their sisters in
 other professions and trades--they
 receive substantially the same salary
 as are paid the men, still it is care
 fully explained that ''the British war
 office does not recognize the exist
 ence of these women doctors.'
 One lesson of the war has been
 the demonstration of the Cnlarged
 sphere of feminine usefulness. With women leading the van as Red Cross workers and actively participating in all lines Of Humanitarian work and patriotic endeavor it becomes the height of folly to still contend that the whole sex has been relegated by their Maker to the kaiser's restricted
 sphere of the three ks-kinder,
 kirche. and kuche, (children, church and kitchen.)

 The wives of members of the presidents official family. as well as
 senator's and representatives, and the helpmates of the official set gener- 1 ally, have all signified their earnest cooperation in the new organization to be known as "The Woman's National Made in the U. s. X. League" The object of the league is to urge the women of the country to buy only tAmerican-made goods to the exclusion of foreign-made arr ticles. There are no dues and the only requisite for membership is to sign a pledge which reads: 'sI pledge myself for the welfare of our coun- ltry. while the war lasts. to demand and buy, whenever possible. only things made in the U. s. A. and urge my friends to do likewise" It is be 1 lieved that the women of the country l will rally periodically to the pro- posed plan to "buy American goods ifirst," Mrs. Marshall wife of the vice president.

The new rule requiring baggage
checked on railroads for an inter-
state trip to be valued in advance is
causing much friction. A change in
the law is predicted. The occasion
seems opportune for a general effort
for better methods in baggage hand
ling.
The worst feature of the handling
of baggage by American roads is
failure to get trunks on time. If it
has to be transferred at some june
ton point, the general rule is that
it is delayed. 1t is great incon-
venience to find that one must wait
for his trunks until the next day.
Loud are the lamentations among
the women, who must show up at
the hotel dining table or at the home
of friend in dusty travelling suit.
In business life the consequences
of not getting trunks promptly must
be serious. The salesman may have
to wait day to present samples to
customers.
The railroads complain that they
are not popular. Probably annoy
.ances like these have quite as much
to do with public hostility as more
serious breaches of faith. Any rail-
road that wants the friendship of the
people can make long stride to
getting il, by systematizing its
trunk deliveries, and making it the
usual thing for the baggage to go
on the same train with the passeng-
Ter.

THE LIkEABLE MAN.

There are many things that go to
make up a likeable man, says the
Woman Shield. There's honor and
courage and generosity-no need 10
enlarge on these. Without either Of
these man can not be very big or
have many admirers. If man has
honor and courage and generosity
you do not have to write him let
ter or to see him to ascertain how
he stands on material questions. Of
ten we have heard the query, How
will Jones stand on this question:"
answered by a score of voices, "Well
vouch for Jones'" Then there is
modesty, which, while it greatly con-
ceals other virtues, does in the end
enhance their value and increase the
charm which they possess. Chastity
is by no means rare among men, pub
lie opinion to the contrary notwith-
standing. The world is full of men
who have lived as chaste lives as the
most virtuous mother. Many men
are given, however, to violating the
rules of chastity by telling dirty
stories. How often you have seen
the dirty story teller stretch his
neck and look around with the
query, Are there ladies present."
The fellow who answered, mo, but
there are gentlemen present" gave
singing rebuke. Dignity is an inn
portant element in the character of
the man whom other men most like.
we do not mean stiffness or POM
poslty, but Just that touch OF self
respect and poise which exist in ev-
cry fine character and which is new
er consciously assertive. but which
even the most careless spirit can feel
and recognize. Men respect dignity
and like it. Every man has the
right to raise a barrier to the sanctu-
airy of his soul which none can pass.
Reserve and dignity. modest yet posi-
tive, are necessary to a we'll poised
man.
