the weakness OF the American arms

to establish a better military system

These efforts. however. came to ship

MALICIOUS CAMPAIGN STORIES

In every political campaign stories
are started about one or more of the
candidates, for the sole purpose of
injuring their chances of election.
The recent campaign was no excep-
tion to- the rule. Some one started
the story on the west side of the
valley to the effect that Jim Dunford
had stated that If he was elected
county commissioner he would use
his influence toward getting the
county seat removed to Montpelier
This story once started quickly spread
from Fish Haven to Sharon, and no
doubt cost Jim a large number Of
votes on the west side, by those who
did not stop to think how unreason-
able the statement was. AS a matter
Of fact, James Dunford, as commits
sioner, would have no more influence
in the matter of removing the county
seat than he would as a private citi-
zen. Before an election is held on
the question of changing a county
seat. a petition, signed by a certain
number of voters, must be presented
to the commissioners. II these off,
Gals find that the petition Is In prop
er form and contains the required
number of signatures, they must then
fix day for the people to vote on
the question. II the three commits
sioners of a county should be in favor
OF removing county seat, they could
do nothing-not even call an cleo
ton, unless they were petitioned to
do SO by the people.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Seventh Grade


The Seventh grade held their sec
ond class meeting Nov. 9. It was
called for the purpose of selecting
class colors and debating managers.
The colors chosen were burnt
orange and black, and the debating
managers were Delbert Jones and
Merle Barkdull. The refreshment
committee and class motto have not
yet been selected.
The debaters selected from Section
II are Junior Beckwith, Clyde Whit
man, Gift Phelps, Verno O'Connor.
From Section I-Leona Staley
Donald Lyon, Leroy Dewey, Bell
Stephens.
The following students were pro-
noted Friday in arithmetic from the
Seventh to the Eighth grade: Del
bert Jones, Ellen Strong and Clyde
Whitman.
Section / has been studying pune
tuation in language Mr.. Richards ia

Section / has also been studying

class has been making rapid progress

time we finish this work each stu
dent will be able to figure how much
lumber will be needed to build a
house as well as to tell the cost.

united efforts Of students and undi-
vided backing Of the people in the
city.
We are eager to have the people
appreciate our efforts in activities,
other than dramatics. Support us in
our interscholastic athletics and de-
bates and boost for a greater M. II.
s. We are crowded and Lack the ia
cilities needed to compete in school
work and activities with other
schools.
Debating Is one of the main acti-
1ties Of the school now. Every class
desires to become the champion of
the school and all are DESTROYS of the
school being the victor of our schol-
astic rivals. Never before in the his
tory of the school has such a wealth
Of debating material been in the
Montpelier high school. Every class
has one or more teams equal to many
school teams. The interclass debates
will commence Immediately and the
people who appreciate good debating
will be able to hear the different
sides of the most important ques-
tions defended by the most able de-
baters in the various classes.
Athletics are in bad way in the
school, chiefly thru the misfortune
of having no athletic field or gym
nasium. Football has been abandon
ed thru lack of interest by those
needed to build up the team and en-
courage them. Little more can be
said of basketball. In the past we
have played in the pavilion but now
it is doubtful IL this building can be
secured. II we fail to obtain the pa
vilion 1t will mean that athletics will
decline and that the Montpelier high
school will have no place to carry
on the physical education Of the stu
dents. 1t will moreover mean that
Montpelier will be deprived of the
only winter sport 1t has had for years.
To the student body of the school ii
will mean the waste of a wealth of
basketball material and the loss of
our most important activity.
We see no reason for closing the
pavilion to the school. We have not
interfered with the dance dates and
all damage ever done to the building
has been paid for. So why not help
us in our effort to obtain this build
ing? 1t means an advertisement to
the town If we have a team and a
place to spend many pleasant eve
nings.
We extend our appreciation to all
who helped to make our first play
OF the year a success and we hope
all were well enough satisfied to have
us hope for patronage in the future
Our gain is the city's gain and IL we
fail financially it will be blot on
the city's record but with the support
given us Nov. we have no thoughts
of failure financially or otherwise.
