BANQUET DROPPED;
MAY BE LUNCHEON

The banquet which was to have been
given by the forest school students
Wednesday night has been indefinitely
postponed. The rush of work which
is made necessary by the call for
short-course rangers to resume their
regular work in the employ Of the
forest service made 1t impossible to
hold the affair Wednesday evening and
all other evenings Of the week are out
of the question. 1t Is probable that
the foresters will give a luncheon
Wednesday noon instead Of the ban
quet.

On the
Spur Of the
Moment

Ten Months Old.
His words are few, yet many speed
To serve his slightest whim;
If he would rule he'd only need
To nod the head of him.
His words are few and yet his hands
Least wave, Il glance or two,
Are quickly understood commands
To all his retinue.
His words are few, in very truth
You'd scarcely even call
Them words, for. owing to his youth,
lie cannot talk at all.
Though "goob" and ma ma CUB" may
Mean very much to you,
He seems to make them mean a lot,
Although his words are few.

The Little Wupfz.

How sad the little Wupfz appears
1t seems upon the verge of tears
Observe, it wipes it's little eye,
With plantive moan and anguished
sigh.
And now it turns, as who should say,
I'm rather out of sorts today"
Yet Why it Wceps and Whimpers so
Alas, it's sure we do not know.
We scarcely can imagine why
A little Wupfz should moan and sigh.
In fact, till now we never knew
There was a little Wupfz, did you?
