New Ten Cent
Piece Is Here

The new ten-cent piece is abroad
in Ashland. 1t is shiny and it is diff
ferent, so don't blame the man to
whom you offer the dime if he looks
at 1t several times before slipping it
into the till.
The ten cent piece of the new coin
age is the same size as the old. The
liberty head is stamped on one side,
facing in the opposite direction from
the old coin, and the words "Liber-
ty," In God We Trust" on the
other side are the mace and the
words United States of America, &"
e Pluribus Unum."

recent arrival from Montana. was
elected president; Gertrude Barber
wa voted into the secretary's chair
along with Rita Gard. who was elect
ed vice-president, and Aida Heer,

ing, scrapping. etc, Roy Clary was
elected chief infant, with Burton
Whine coming close second, and
later he was rocked to sleep with

knowledge of baby talk, while Don
aid Dickerson's mammoth frame and
serious face crowded him into the

drinkers are planning on giving their
fellow sufferers, the freshmen, a

understood that they are planning
on a series of debates on the ques-

Class in Poetry.
The business English class had a
grand fest Friday afternoon when,
as a change in study, the class wrote
original poems. Some of the poems
rivaled those of Shakespeare; others
branded their authors as coming men
of the land, but most of them stamp
ed their originators as squirrel food
proper" The personal poems of the
Misses Cnappell. Divet, Skeen and
Farmer were each a gem in them
selves. The political satires of the
Misses Anderson and Bell were fitted
for publication along with jeff
Tayerner argument for socialism,
while the great political triumyerate,
namely task one who knows), pre-
sented a little book of gems" which
could be rightfully called "sinkers."
This political meeting rivaled the
old-time meeting held years ago
when "Chau" Freeman's witty liner
icks caused that young gentleman to
remain in hiding for several days.
Rally Planned.
On account of the coming Medford
game, the student body is beginning
to take on look of activity. Every
member knows what strong root
ers' combination Medford has, and
therefore they are planning for sew
eral enormous rallies which will put
them in condition to meet the on
slaught of the Medford ''yappers. A
big street rally after school is being
planned for Tuesday, with various
song and yell rallies spread through
out the week. The final burst of en-
thusiasm comes Friday night, when

being planned. The rooters' section
is going to be moved to a more de-
sirable location on the field and a
big stunt is being put in line for be-
tween the halves in the Ashland
Medford game.
Ticket-Selling Contest.
A novel plan has been accepted for
ticket-selihg contest for the Ash
land Medford game next Saturday.
To the girl or boy who sells the most
tickets will be given free admission
to the Ashland game and expenses
paid and admission free to the Ash
-Medford game at Medford. This

army of ticket sellers and the keen
est competition will take place.

The First American Novelist

The first American novelist to take up
literature as profession and a means
Of livelihood-the pioneer-was Charles
Prookden Brown, who died 1O6 years
ago today, at the age OF thirty-nine.
Brown was a native of Philadelphia, and
his ancestors were Quakers. who came
over with William Penn. He studied
law, but abandoned that profession for
literature. "Wieland." his first novel,
was published In 179S, and was followed
the next year by "Ormond." Both nov
els were successful. and. although they
now seem rather crude, they stood as
the hest American fiction up to Cooper
Edgar Huntley: The Adventures or
a Sieepwalker," was his next move, and
1t war followed by Clara Howard"
Jane Talbot" and other tales. Brown
died of consumption. and, although his
literary career covered only thirteen
years. he produced twenty-four volumes.
Brown Is Justly to be regarded as the
father Of American fiction. as he was
the first to take UP woodworking seri-
ously and not as a mere diversion.
