The first day of March vas ushered
in like a lion. Tuesday night was,
doubtless. the worst night of the win
ter weather. About three inches Of
snow was added and the mercury has
been lowering around the zero point
again. A cold wind switched around
from the north to the east during the
night and day.

SCHOOL NOTES

DR.. Stewart gave a most interesting
address to the high school students in

them concerning the necessity of hav-
ing a purpose in life and playing the
game with an enthusiasm that makes
for success.
Earl MINER, president of the senior
class, has been appointed by Congress
man Johnson to a cadetship at Anna
polls.
Marjorie Cole has received the prize
awarded her by the Minneapolis Jour
nal for the best story. The picture is
a beautiful landscape painting entitled
the "Oak Walk" The picture has a
copper plate with the winners name
inscribed. The pupils of the room are
very proud of the picture because of
the fact that a member of their class
has the honor of winning this capitol
prize.
Wallace Mast won a place of Next
Best Story" in the Journal contest last
week and as the pupils are making
this a part of their work in English it
is giving them the practical side of
such work and are doing the work so
well that the Bookings school gets a
place in the list of contestants almost
every week.
The basketball team will go to Red
field Saturday where they will meet

Tomorrow (Friday) evening the
high school glee clubs will present the
Captain of Plymouth a comic opera

serves the charming love story of
John Alden and Priscilla it adds much
to the humor by delightfully."- burlesqu-
ing the invincible, Boosting captain,
Miles Standish. The music is spon-
taneous and tuneful, the scenery and
costumes are strikingly beautiful and
everything indicates that this will be
one of the most delightful entertain
ments ever given by the high school.

The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1908-current, 1916-12-15

may have killed a few weevils owned
by farmers who are so unfortunate
and benighted as not to subscribe
for the Log Cabin Democrat, and for
their benefit (the farmers, not the
weevils) the Log Cabin Democrat
will explain that in its campaign for
zero weather it was actuated by none
but the most generous motives and
we had no desire selfshly to discrim-
mate against any of the people in our
patriotic and progressive midst.
Since, however, the Log Cabin
Democrats fight has been crowned
with such signal victory, many fair
lady subscribers have been tele-
phoning US, congratulating US, but
politely requesting US to desist. for
the present, at least. They say that
their water pipes are frozen up and
that fuel is scarce and difficult to Sc
ure, and they wanted to know if we
would not now inaugurate cam
paign for warmer weather. To their
opportunities we have smilingly and
gracefully assented. Now that we
have accomplished our high and
noble purpose, now that we have
seen the boil weevils exterminated,
we shall open an unrelenting strug-
gle for a higher temperature. The
weighty influence of this great organ
of publicity shall henceforth be dl-
rected upward instead of downward,
on the scale of the thermometers
tube. With the same courage with
which we so earnestly advocated a
spell of zero weather. we shall enter
upon a fight for moderation of the
elements, so that our ladies may
thaw out their pipes and again heat
up their houses. The battle may be
a long and fierce one and in it we
shall expect all our readers, both
ladies and gentlemen, to hold up our
hands, but we shall not become dis
Outraged, and we confidently assure
our people that the weather will be-
come warmer-much warmer-by
next July, if not earlier.
