tn to be presented by the high school
on Dec. Z and s, entertained the as
sembly with a sample of what they
intend to give on Friday and Satur-
day evenings. The various members
of the cast were introduced by Miss
Barnes and Mr.. Hanson. The chorus
of policemen led by Roland Haines,
was much enjoyed as was also the pi-
rate king, Paul Renyold, festooned
with a blue beard. Willard Regain, as
the major general of the British army,
promises to get a great many laughs
from his clever representations and
humorous songs. This operetta. like
all others, has in its chorus, a bevy of
pretty girls. These did their share on
the program Wednesday. The pirate
chorus, one of the unique bits of the
operetta, was unable to appear Mr..
Hanson spoke a few words in appre-
citation of the splendid cooperation
he has received from the cast during
the rehearsals and the support that
has been manifested by the student
body.

If They Could Keep It Up.

There have been big men in Wall
street who did all the work themselves,
who attended to every minute item;
who were from Missouri in regard to
each point in any proposition put up
to them. One of these marvels was
among the very greatest financiers the
country ever had; but he didn't last
long, and there haye been few others
like him. If a man with the first or
der of brains and ability could only
keep it up, there is nothing to pre-
vent his owning the United States. If
E. H. Hartman could have kept on
10 or 20 years longer at the pace he
was going he would have gObbled up
all the railroads in sight, and he was
just getting a strangle hold on the big
banks. He conquered every square
foot of territory as he went along,

COTTON GOODS OUTPUT LARGE
Value of Product of Textile Mills in
United States in 1914 Reaches
Total of $701 ,300,933.

The value of cotton goods manu-
factured in the United States in 1914
reached the great total Of $T0l300,933,
according to Uncle Sans figures. just
compiled. This represented an in
crease of 11.6 per cent, as compared
with 1909. when the value of the out
put was $62S.391 .S13. The Industry
gave employment to 4O3,422 persons
in 1914. an increase Of 17.7 per cent
in salared employees and 3.S per cent
in wage earners during the tive-year
period. These employees received a
total of $169,S22,599 in wages and
salaries in 1914, an average of approx
imately S420 for each employee.
The figures show that the cotton
manufacturing business of the country
is concentrated in the hands of a

TarantuIa Hawk Mans Friend

Tarantulas prefer loose, stony
ground for their habitat. The foolish
creatures come out for a stroll just
before the sunset hours, at the very
time when the tarantula hawk, or
killer, is out looking for them. The
vicious wasp is quite sure to find them
and, although the fight may be long
and the tarantula may make tena-
cious defense, the wasp's lance will
finally pierce and stupefy the taran-
tula, whose body will retain warmth
during the required number Of days
required for the incubation of the
eggs which the wasp will deposit in
her victim. When the grubs of the
baby tarantula hawks appear, the un-
gracious little things will Immediate
ly proceed to devour the warm husk
that gives them protection and life
thus fulfilling their destiny and Incl
dentaIly protecting the dwellers or
the border.

TT Is no wonder that mothers become

things to keep in mind in order to do
the right thing by your children. There
are all the rules about bathing and
clothing and feeding the dears; there
are all the rules about toys and eXer-

rules about punishment and manners
and keeping your temper. 1t is all
very diStracting.
The trouble with many of us is that
we try so desperately to get the rules
And the danger is that we often get
no more than the rules. With all the

cases we remember the formulas and
repeat them as we think aloud about
