School Annual
Will Be Fine Book

The high school annual which the
students of the school are planning
to issue this year is we'll under way
and promises to be by far the most ar
tistic and original yet produced here.
The book will have greater number
of pages than any yet Issued and will
be free from advertising. The Com
mercial Club has appropriated $12 to
be used in the purchase of enough
photographs of local scenic point to
supply the edition. The cover will
be artistically embossed, with an oval
opening through which the pictures
may be seen.
The cost of producing the ANIMALS
is much greater than the price of so
cents for which they will be sold, and
1t is necessary to figure very closely
on the size of the edition. Hence
everyone who desires an annual is
required to sign up for one at either
Buffers or Rose Brcs.'

Survival of the F!ttsst.

Modern scientists do not entirely hold with the Darwinian theory of evo- lution; still there is no doubt that the Survival of the Attest" has . large modicum of truth, for we can all sec that those who are incapable of adapt. ing themselves to the universal prog. ress must become more or less fossil. ized. Every big business gives uB striking examples: men who. having reached certain position, sit down and get rooted in their own little way. Then there comes new spirit into authority, modern methods arc intro duced, all things are put In motion, tho change has come and the fossil sits still, an obstacle in the necessary prok- ress until he is either thrown out O4 the way completely, or moved to . side where he can do no damage.

With these itics to oblivion went long line or lllustrious kings, mighty warriors wno left inscriptions of t.ibal wars, which they fondly fancied had shaken the dome of heaven. But the only Baby innian king whose fame grows brighter With the lapse of centuries is Nebuchad- nezzar, whose claim to glory rests not mon prewess in international brawis, but upon marshaling and directing the greatest, most. pract1cal building force that his time knew.

MinnoWs Are Good to Eat.

A correspondent asks-Are the little fishes called minnows good to eat?- We do not know of any reason why they should not be edible. They are of cleanly habits, free from impuri. ties. and though small, quite meaty. Old Izaak Walton in hls Angler de. scribes the minnows and says: "In the spring they make of them excellent minnow tansies. for being washed well In salt, and their heads and tails cut of, and their guts taken out, and not washed after, they prove excellent for that use, that is being fried with yolks of eggs. The flowers of cowslips and of primroses and a little tansy thus used, they make a dainty bit of meat" The popular English dish of whitebait Is much like minnows, but it's edibility all depends on its preparation and man. ner of cooking. The minnow should not be despised as an article of food merely because it is so small. What 1zaak Walton called tansy was an old-fashioned name of a little stew. or neat pie.-Exchayge.
