The sentiment is expressed by
those higher up that the Italian
losses will prolong the war probably
a year. Of course this is rather
indefinite as the estimates that the
war might end within the year or
be continued for number of years,
have been given out by the leaders
of the allied countries. There are
so many things to be taken into
consideration that prediction at
this time as to when the end of the
war will come would be merely
guess. The end of the war and
the principles which are involved in
the war are what we are fighting
for and whether it is to be long
fight or short one is not the ques-
ton at this time. We must pre-
pare for the worst SO that if it
comes we will be ready to meet the
issue.

putting his country or his state to

his successor, because a special cleo

School Notes

Last Wednesday evening, Oct. 80,
after the Halloween parade, the
teachers and high school students
enjoyed an informal party in the
school auditorium. The evening
was spent in playing games, and
listening to songs, instrumental Sc
lections and stories. Following
light refreshments, the party dis
banded about ten-thirty.
Tuesday morning of this week
Congressman Burton l.. French adj
dressed the high school on the sub.
ject of Congress" In an inter est
ing manner he told how Congress
does its work, how the two houses
are organized, how committees are
selected and what their duties are,
how bills are introduced and dis
posed of, how members of House
and Senate select seats and offices.
He cited personal instances to illus
trate. His talk was thoroughly
enjoyed and was very instructive.
Last Friday afternoon pupils and
teachers gave the school building a
general cleaning, in imitation of
Campus Day" Many worked I'M
til dark. Windows were washed,
woodwork cleaned, blackboards
cleaned, chalk troughs and erasers
cleaned, furniture washed and pol
ished, floors swept. Although
some walked until late, parts of
the building had to go untouched.

YEARLY waiting for a belated train
to have to stand by as it comes to a
grinding halt and witness Marjorie
step gaily from the car and directly
in front of the steps, Historically
fall into the arms of her dear girl
friend, totally oblivious of the fact
that her rapturous kisses are caus-
ing congestion of traffic. The
passengers in the car who desire to
get off and the impatient throng
on the platform who wish to get on,
feel rather peeved at the delay, but
the 'brakey stands patiently by,
hardened to it for it happens all
along the line. Think of the hours
of time that might be saved by an
electric sign hanging above the car
steps with the following inscribed
thereon: Move on-quit your kiss,
in.

him and it will help to strengthen
him in the face of temptation.
