HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Were you there? Where? Why,
at the bazaar. We were all there.
and saw the beautiful, artistic booths
that the classes erected and had some
of the good things to eat that the
Domestic Science Department served.
Miss Todd certainly must have been
giving the girls some training In
domestic art, for the articles showed
much skill and originality of design.
After the supper, everyone attended
the dance at the Armory hall, The
designs for the booths were as fol-
lows:
The freshman class had simple,
but attractively designed booth, rep
resenting the prov of United States
battleship, with all the allied flags
around it.
Sophomore
The sophs didn't have any military
aspect to their booth. The Christmas
spirit was present, however. and the
idea was well carried out.
Juniors
The junior class lived up to its
ideals of simplicity and erected a
booth to represent Y. M. c. A.
hut, similar in design to the ones
erected for the soldiers.
Seniors
The senior booth represented the
allied nations, a subject in conform
ity with the times The plan was
we'll formulated and the booth was
very pretty. The senior girls in their
pretty uniforms attracted much at
! tention from the visitors who patron
| ICED their stand.
| Much credit is to be given to the
| faculty advisers for their interest
and work in this campaign for money.
They are as follows: Senior, Misses
Suter and Carter; junior, Miss Loftin;
sophomore, Misses ellis and
Schoenherst; freshmen, Misses Crout
Day and Galloway. Miss Carter and

WANTS FOOD and COAL GARDEN CULTIVATION
Former French Premier Says Mission
Came to U. S. Solely to Get Sup
plies and Partnership of America.

Gen. Jofrre, M. Viviani and their
compatriots did not come to the
United States to get American sold
iers to help them fight. They have
got brave men to protect France
themselves; but they must have food
for these men and coal for their mu-
milton factories. Then, too, it helps
great deal to have the enthusiastic
partnership of the great American
nation.
Now, if the United States wants to
send an army into France, whether a
small one for sentimental reasons or
great one for driving the "boches'
back to Berlin and defeat-well, that
must be decided upon later.
Such was the attitude of M. Vivi-
ami, former premier of France, when
he gave to the American people late
yesterday his first public greeting.
"The statement that the French
mission came to this country to urge
that American troops be sent to the
French front is unauthorized" H." M =.
Viviani stated.

How to Prepare the Soil and How and
When to Plant Seeds-Series Of
Articles to be Published to Ala
Young Gardeners.

The various citizens and commit
tees in charge of the back yard
garden movement have had so many
inouiries from boys and girls as to
how to prepare the. soil and plant
their gardens that it has been deemed
well to publish in the Gazette SER
les of brief articles on how to pre-
pare the soil, how and when to plant
different varieties of vegetables, and
also the most suitable vegetables to
be planted in small yards.
Naturally, there will be numerous
matters that may not be covered by
these articles, and in order that all
the information possible may be
given, we will be glad to answer in
this column any questions that may
be puzzling the young folks in their
garden problems. If they will write
their questions and leave them at
the Gazette office. they will be an
swered on the following day in this
column.
How and When to Prepare the Soil
The first great question to be con-
sidered is how and when to prepare
the soil for different vegetables. First
of all, never. break up the ground
when it is wet. If this be done, ii
makes it impossible to get the lane
in proper condition for planting seed
Break up the ground with q spade OIL
hoe, or better still, five -pronget
fork which is made for that purpose
being very careful to break up ever!
particle of ground which is to bt
planted in seed. After getting th'
ground we'll spaded up. it is yer!
important to work it over very care
fully with small hoe. breaking VI
all of the large clods, and making a:
fine a plant bed as possible, using
garden rake to get the top two O.
three inches extra fine, to plant th'
seed in, but that does not mean tha
it is necessary to use sieve to ge
TIE ground in proper condition.
