Student Body Play

Work is going on rapidly on the

Summer Nights Dream" well known
Shakespearean comedy, which will be
produced at the high school some time
in February.
Preliminary practice on pirates of
Penzeance," one of the famous Gil
bert-Sulivan successes to be produced
some time in March or April by the
Music Society of the high school, has
been in progress for some time. Both
the boys and girls glee clubs are
working on the catchy and fascinating
choruses, but solo work has not begun
as yet. They have an international rep
utation of being the standard of mod
ern light comedy. Although written
many years ago, the Gilbert-Sullivan
successes still hold their place high
in popular demand.

Seniors Come Back
Revenge is sweet!

Revenge is sweet.
The Juniors attained a political vic
tory over the Seniors a few days ago,
but the Seniors came back in quick re-
taliation by placing .heir FLAG high IN
the air over the nigh school building.
Early arriving underclassmen at the
high school were greeted from afar by
the Senior insignia. 1t proved to be of
heavy tin, and was strung out to the
center of long crosswire. On one side
was Seniors" on the other, 1918"
All forenoon, and much of the after
noon the flag remained. untarnished.
Rocks and strings refused 10 bulge
the old banner. Early in the afternoon
scouting party of Juniors scaled the
heights and took observations.
About $3.50 the Juniors, after hav-
ing spent the entire day in attempting
todown the flag, severed the wire, and
the colors clattered to the ground. A
group of about fifty underclassmen
tore and smashed the flag to pieces, to
the discomforture of the small Senior
class, which was unable to defend its
rights. Vengeance taken out on the
flat, the mob then proceeded to chas-
tise various individualsd of the Senior
class, several via the hose route, one
poor victim in much more embassas-
sing manner.
1t took one Senior, however, to scar
out the entire mob. Johnny Bakers ag-
gressive attitude, upon being rushed
was more than enough to keep his op-
ponents at bay.

SAY
EAT MORE MEAT
They Take the View That Unless the
Demand for Meats Increases, The
Herds Will Be Fewer Next Year
and Cattlemen Will not Take The
Risk of Raising Them

Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 9.-How
to eat more now IN order that there
may be more to eat next year will be
one of the topics brought before the
annual meeting of the American Nat
ional Live Stock association which
opens here January IA, according 20
stockmen who plan to attend the
meeting. The plan, which touches the
consumer in that it would substitute
a "porkless" day for the present
"meatless" Tuesday is based on the
declaration that unless the demand
for beef and mutton for domestic con-
sumption is increased soon, there will
be shortage of these meats the
spring and summer of next year.
The stockmen assert that while a
normal or enlarged number of steers
and sheep are being fattened for
market this winter, if there should be
no increase in prices, or if the present
prices should not be maintained, few
er would be fattened next winter,
with corresponding decrease in the
number sold for slaughter. Continu-
ance of the present decreased con-
sumption, due to 'meatless" days,
they declare, will mean a giut of the
market and lowering of prices.
Another subject which the stock
men expect to consider is the possi-
bility of changes in the transporta-
ton system due to the taking over
of the railroads by the government.
Reports from the market committee,
touching on the investigation of the
meat industry being made by the fed
eral trade commission; discussion Of
national forest use for grazing pur-
poses, the $40 acre homestead bill" /"
the livestock indusry and he war, and
other subjects, many of them techni-
cal, also are to be presented at the
meeting.
l. T. Pryor, of San Antonio, Texas,
president of the association, has not
announced the title of his address.
Governor Simon Bamberger of Utah
is to discuss the subject Of wartime
loans to meat producers. Among fed
eral officers on the program are John
R. Mohler, chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry; Will c. Barnes, assis-
tant forester; c. d. March, Physiolo-
gist in the bureau of animal industry
and several men connected with the
extension Departments Of state col
leges. Clifford Pinchot, former fores-
ter, is to discuss "The Federal Board
of Farm Organizations"
James Callan, president of the Cat
tie Raisers' association of Texas. and
L. L. Harmon, president of the Ari-
zona Cattle Growers association, also
are on the program. F. J. Hagenbarth
president of the National Woo
Growers association, which meets
here at about the same time as the
livestock association, is to deliver an
address at the latter meeting on Gre
lation of the Federal Government to
the Producer in the present emergen-
cy."

Geneva, Monday, June 26.-The
Austrian retreat across the Piave
continues in the greatest disorder
under the immediate fire of the ar
tilliery according to news received
here this morning British gunners
especially are doing heavy execution
in this sector.
Hundreds OF the enemy, the re-
port states, were drowned in the
swollen river, into which the Aus
trians were throwing their Maxims
and light cannon.
In the meantime the Austrians are
rushing up new reserves to fill the
breach between the Montello plateau
and the Adriatic in order to avert a
disaster. in spite Of the official an.
nouncement from Vienna that the re-
treat was due entirely to the flood in
the Piave River. the report states
that the italian armies caused the
breaking Of the offensive by their
continuous pressure against the
enemy.

Numerous reports have reached the

The fact that no effort has been
