There Amt No Such Thing

"needs an old-fashioned country

for the wages usually paid III a

fine could such a person be foundY
Twenty years ago the tramp
lprinter" was as common as an old
nair of shoes He might be Grip
pled from riding the break-beams,
or footsore from his perambula-
tions; but he was a fund OF infor-
nation, a fountain of inspiration,
and subject for contemplation
and what he didn't know about
things in general from all portions
of the United States had merely
been wiped from history and blot
ted from the statute books. He
never wanted a steady job; just
desired a little "take" and some
dead stuff to "throw in" so as to
furnish bit Of money for his few
wants. And he always received
more than he requested-for he
filled a long-felt want. There's
nothing like that now. That was
in the days when the only laun-
dering the towel had was to soak
all day Christmas in a pail of I've.
the towel must be spot
less; then it was described as

New Kind of Music.

Miss Frances Blair, one of the
greatest musicians OF the world, mr.
rived Mt Abilene. Thursday, Deccm-
Der 10, and on the following day en-
tcrtained the high school students
with a concert on the instrument oil
which she excels all other artists of
the world, the HumanophOne. This
Is Miss Blair's second appearance In
high school, as she also appeared
once before Mt the party given at the
first of the year by the senior girls.
The Humanophone greatly resem-
bles the pipe organ in appearance.
but far surpasses 1t In sweetness of
tone and capability OF expression. 1t
was formerly composed of thirteen
tones, but on account OF the flu and
other obstacles only nine tones were
able to play Mt the concert. However
this number can play any piece what
soever.
Miss Blair calls her instrument
the Humanophone because OF its
human associations with various
things. This feeling OF natural un-
Outstanding is so strong that she
gives names to all parts of her in
strument. She speaks of them as
old friends, calling them by their
names, some of which are: Helen,
Dorothy. Lois, Della and Gladys As
matter of patriotism the Humano-
phone has always appeared recently
decorated with flags and bunting.
The program given was short, con
sisting of only two selections. "A ner-
lea" and yankee Doodle" How
ever, as Humanophone concerts are
rare, the students considered them
selves highly privileged to be able to
hear even one number. The playing
was perfect on the part of Miss
Blair, but few Of the notes had a
slight tendency to stick, thereby pro
longing their tone. This was ex-
planned by their player as having
been caused by a weakness in the
wind chest and also few rusted
valves. On seeing the keen appre-
citation Of the students of good music,
Mr.. Wheeler has promised to try to
secure other great artists as future
entertainers In chapel.

MAKING UP TIME.

The following plan has been work
ed out for the making up OF the time
lost by the closings due to Mr.. "Flu. "
The regular school year consists OF
$50 days, minus days for Thanks
giving, 2 days for State Teachers
meeting and days for Washington's
and Lincoln's birthdays which makes
TIA days as the average length Of
the year.
When school was closed the last
time there had been 3S days Of
school. The average number ia less
3S, the days taught, leaves 1876 days
to be taught. Beginning Dec. 9th,
when school opened this last time till
May Both, when it was originally
planned to close school, there are %
weeks, to be taught. Teaching
5 days per week that equals 125 days
and only leaves IL days to be made
up on Saturdays.
These II days will be made up by
teaching Saturday mornings at the
rate of about one every two weeks so
that all the days will be made up by
the first week in May and all stud
ents will have put in full time and
will be entitled to fun credit for the
years work.

HERE'S ANOTHER WEATHER
SHARP-SEE HIS GUESS

A Kansas City weather forester
puts up this prediction for this year
The earth being forced outward a
little from the sun on the following
dates will result In increased rainfall
or snow In places, followed by colder
changes of weather In most localities
by December IS or 10, %, 20 and q (;
but in some places beginning day
before or day after some Of these
dates named.
This will be short winter and a
drought in the spring, followed by a
good long summer and plenty of rain
in most localities for agricultural
growth. Planting should be done in
the middle of March to be in time for
the general rain for sprouting be-
tween March Goth and April Sth,
1919; and replanting should be done
by the middle of May, as there viii b.
plenty OF rain from May 22nd to
September 10th. On account of the
spring drought, the Southern terri
tory of the great grain belt of the
Northern Hemisphere should raise
corn as the principal cereal in 1919:
and the Northern territory of the
grain belt should raise wheat, as the
cool spell of the latter part of the
season win cause much immature
corn there.
