About thirty ladies and gentlemen
of this place accepted an invitation to
participate in dance at Sahara last
Saturday night. Unfortunately one
or two persons present showed no
more regard for public decency and
their own reputation than to become
inebriated, and as a result the floor
manager closed the dance at IL o.
clock, and for o time it looked as if
the assembled guests would not be
permitted to partakc of the lunch
which had been prepared. However,
the social waters gradually Gained
and the repast was served. We trust
that this will prove a good lesson to
the offending parties and that the in
cident will not be repeated.

The Habit of Taking Cold

With many people taking cold Is q
habit, but fortunately one that is cas-
lily broken. Take cold sponge bath
every morning when you first get out
of bed--not ice cold, but a tempera-
ture of about 30 deg. r. Also sleep
with your window up. Do this and
you will seldom take cold When you
do take cold take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and get rid of it as
quickly as possible. Obtainable ev-

BRANCH A. c. NOTES.

The best organized bunch of "root-
ers" to be found was at the basket
ball game played in the B. A. C. gym
nasium between Murdoch and B. A. c.
teams last Friday night. The game
was interesting, in the first place, be-
cause it was an extremely easy vic
tory for the B. A. C. five, and second
ly, because we, as State champions,
have never been beaten. This is only
a beginning, howevr, as the real fun
comes with league games soon to be
played.
The business managers Of the Gag
ricula" have signed a contract with
Mr.. R. d. Adams for all Photographic
work for our year book. The classes
are now busy getting the separate
pictures taken. We are beginning
early this year in the hope that we
may be able to publish even better
"Agricula" than that Of last year, al
though the Arrow Press named ours
as the best out of ten high school and
four college year books they printed
last year.
The B. A. G. quartets are going to
give sacred concert some time dur
ing the Roundup. They have been
practicing for some time and the af-
fair promises to be very pleasing.
Anyone should have been glad to
have been at chapel last Tuesday.
The chorus work was beautiful and
showed marked improvement. The
talk given by DR., Macfarlane came
direct from the heart of an old alum
us, interested in the reputation of his
Alma Mater, to every student now at
tending the B. A. c. He urged the
students to take notice Of the marks
they make in high school, for almost
positively by such would their future
work in college, the professional
school and the business world be gov
erned. He also showed how much de-
pended on the present B. A. c. stu
dents in keeping up and making bet
ter and brighter the reputation Of the
school. Every student who heard
him could not help being benefited by
it.
The examinations for the semester
Just ended will be held next Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday.
Although it is not very long before
the Roundup it is the intention OF
the Dramatic club to stage a play
some evening during that busy time
Come to chapel next Tuesday. II
will be given by the students. There
will be musical numbers and dia'
logue. You will be heartily wei
coined at eleven o'clock
The night school is we'll performing
its function. The ladies meet Tuesday
and Saturday nights for long sessions
The men are enjoying both the nigh
school and farm management course
The enrolment is increasing daily.

The state maintained that Miss
Narney killed Mrs. Keyes because of
jealousy. In the closing arguments
for both sides there were criticisms
o. Keyes who, according 10 his own
admission as the states chief wit

with the nurse as man and wife for
a long period.
In his charge TO the jury Judge
O'Connell dwelt at length on "rea-
sonable doubt" IF the defendant

that time there was on hand a cash
total of $4,000 in paid up pledges.
These three 1000 deposits were
TO draw four percent in four months,
or three percent on the even month,
but on account of the immediate
need of the Y. NJ. c. A for its funds
for war purposes no interest was
realized. An alphabetically ar
ranged list of all subscribers has
been made, and a copy is now on
