REPUBLICAN RALLY

A large crowd greeted Royal c,
johnson, republican candidate for con
gress in this district, at the G. a. r.
hall Saturday evening. Mr.. NJ. G, Car
Isle called the meeting to order and
introduced A. B. Dalthorp, who in turn
introduced the speaker.
Mr.. Johnson is a good speaker and
in his speech covered the work of con
gress during the past two years. He
took the democratic platform OF foul
years ago as his text, and showed
how the administration changed front
on many Of the questions before the
country.
His talk was we'll received by the
audience and he no doubt made many
friends for himself in his campaign
for reelection to congress.

HOSPITAL NOTES

Little Mildred Smith who suffered a
S we're accident a few days ago is do
ing nicely. Her left foot was badly
crushed but from present indications
she will probably make a good recov.
cry in time. She has the advantage OF
age on her side.
Nathaniel Wyeth Kendall is the
name OF the heir to the l.. J. Kendall
family born at the hospital October Is,
1916.
Mrs. Lottie Fisher, of Canton, came
to the hospital Monday night for ex-
animation and temporary treatment.
Baby Mark is making a short So
journ to speed up in adding flesh. Pa
and Ma Mark were not exactly salts
fed with the way the little Miss was
doing at home.
The Nurses Home last Saturday
was the scene of ghostly revelry. We
are not in a position to give further
particulars as all outsiders and mere
men, were excluded.
Miss Josephine Frandsen entered
upon her last years curse at the
college in home economics Monday. 1t
has been the rare good fortune of the
hospital to have had her services be-
tween sessions of the college, and the
best wishes Of the entire hospital fam
lily go with her.
Next Tuesday, (November 7th) the
Deaconess Aid meets at the Nurses
Home and the ladies determined to
have this meeting in the nature of a
shower of linen for the home. The fol-

THE HIGH SCHOOL
MAKING PROGRESS
REPORTS FROM THE DIFFERENT
CLASSES SHOW THAT GOOD
WORK Is BEING DONE
ABSENT AND TARDY PUPILS ARE VERY FEW
School Notes of Interest From the Sew
eral Grades-Future Events
Noted

The report for the second month Of
school ending Friday, October 9th,
shows that the high school has a total
enrolment of 244 and the present
membership at the close of school Fri
day, 239. OF the total enrolment III
are boys and 127 are girls. The aver
age daily attendance in the high srhool
for the month was 1885. There were
144 neither tardy nor absent.
The report of the junior high school
shows a total enrolment of 147. The
number belonging at the close of
school Friday was 143. There were
100 in this department hat were Meth
er tardy nor absent.
One hundred and twenty-five boys
are enrolled in the manual train
ing department and a number who
wanted to do the work in this depart
ment could not do so on account of
the classes being already overcrowded.
This department was instituted in 1911
when there were II boys enrolled for
the work. Additional equipment has
been added and the board of education
has made appropriation for additional
equipment, but with all this the work
of the department has become so popu-
lar that additional room is necessary
before all who want to take the work
can be accommodated.
The domestic science department
has 102 girls enrolled which indicates
that the work for the girls in this de-
partment is as attractive as manual
training is for the boys. In r~eadjusting
the school curriculum, industrial and
vocational training for both boys and
girls hold an important place in the
selection Of courses.
The report for the month just end
ing shows that 315 in the grades were
neither tardy nor absent during the
month. Room 5, taught by Miss Vahle,
holds the record for attendance. There
were one in this Don who were
tardy and the attendance for the
month was $3.50 IF the enrolment.
Mabel Swenson's room reports no tar
diness. The average daily attendance
for the entire school was $50 which is
$3.50 of the enrolment for the month.
Coach Guetzloe and Mr.. Smith drove
via auto Saturday to Watertown where

ment, and Miss BloomQuist, supervisor
of music, will appear on the program
at the state teachers meeting which is

the students were put through a num-
Der of mysterious and difficult tests,
ending with an unique Halloween
spelling match in which Miss Miller
won the prize of a box Of bon-bons.
The occasion was a most informal
and enjoyable one, and the teachers
we're delighted with the favor as well
as greatly appreciated the opportunity
of becoming better acquainted with the
members of the board and their wives,
and of spending with them a most de-
lightful evening.

corted to the dining room Of the NJ. E.

Excellent orchestra music was furnish
ed during the dinner hour. Following

Miller, president of the board of edn-
cation, who spoke in behalf of the
board in extending greetings to the
teachers. superintendent Browning
responded in behalf of the teachers
and expressed their thanks and appre'
citation of the many things the board of
education are doing to make the work
of the school a pleasure rather than a
task. Prof. Dunbar then announced
that further entertainment would be
in the hands of MI. Erie, who directed
the happy party to return to the high
school building, where the mathe-
mates room and hall had been trans
formed and beautifed by Halloween
decoration. Here Mr.. Erie assumed

about 8 o'clock apparently a few min

A Story Of tho BastiIe.

In the year 17s5 a naughty noble Of
the ancient regime OF France fell in
love with Il beautiful girl, the daugh-
ter of wealthy tradesman of Paris.
The latter, refusing to encourage the
noblemnns passion, was soon after
thrown into the Bastile. The sweet
heart of the girl, who was TO have
married her in n few days, dreading Il
like fate, made his escape 10 Constan-
tinople 10 serve as a volunteer under
the grand scigneur, leaving his intend
cd bride secreted with woman friend.
On the outbreak OF the revolution the
young man returned to Paris and was
the very grenadier who first mounted
the breach made In the Bastile. from
the dungeons OF which he had the hap
plness OF rcscuing the father OF his
future bride.

It 10 Radically Wrong, and All on Ae-
count Of the Last.
In the American Magazine DIR. Ar
thur r. Reynolds, former health COM
missioner OF Chicago. tells OF the many
troubles that can make life miserable
and that come from feet that were
neglected In childhood. Among other
things he says:
Children should go barefooted at nil
times while indoors and through the
summer They should never wear any
foot covering at any time that Ia any
way distorts the toes or any part OF
the foot or that interferes I'm any way
with It's normal growth aud develop
ment. The same may be said Of adults.
ANY reform in the shape OF shoes
must begin with the shoemaker's last.
Shoemakers do not seem TO be able to
get away from form and beauty In
shaping II. IL is shaped largely by
guess and Is pointed and turned up at
the toe. No normal foot is so shaped.
'-The only rational last Is made from
q plaster cast OF the foot while bearing
weight, and the mold can be made only
OF Some semi-sotid material that hard
ems when cool or dry. There is little
hope OF getting n nationally shaped
shoe until the wooden last Is totally
discarded. IL is safe to assert that
good looking and nondeforming shoes
can be made without It."

ORIGIN OF "BuNcomBE.v
How . coIonsrs Name Came to BE q
Term OF Reproach-

Whenever l pick up n copy or the
Congressional Record and numerous
other publications and read the irrele-

for the memory OF Colonel Edward
Buncombe, "Girard" writes In the Phil
adelphia Ledger
Through no fault OF the gallant gen
tleman himself, there clings 10 his name
an unpleasant significance which many
OF our brave public men do naught TO
mitigate. Indeed. II there be such a
thing as one shades taking vengeance
upon another In the future world Colo
mel Buncombe will at least pull out
Felix Walkers tongue.
Ii was all Walkers fault that bun
combe" became a term OF reproach,
and the incident which made IL so hap
pened century ago.
Walker represented in congress n dis
trict of North Carolina OF which Bun.
combe county was part. The county
had been named away back In 1901 IN
honor OF Colonel Buncombe.
Walker was one OF those long dis
lance orators who without half trying
could empty the halls OF congress and
put them in a condition beside which
the dead streets OF Pompeii appear
great white ways. When upbraided one
day for talking about everything ex-
cept the question at Issue Walker used
this immortal phrase:
A. 81 am only talking for Buncombe."

And so "buncombe" became new
word in our language, which has been
conveniently shortened into the colo
