annual The book is credit to
those who put the material together
and they are pleased with the me-
chanical construction of it.
A high school annual is always
representative of the four classes OF
the school and each class this year
is given due credit. This may be
the last annual published for some
time as an agitation is now prevalent
that 1t be discontinued until after the
war
The comic section of the book is
also good. Miss Lorna Troup is the
editor OF this department Many
pictures and cartoons, the accom-
panying one by Joe Tufts, add life
to the feature section. Various pic
lures of members of the faculty,
show them in unidentified poses. Two
hundred and sixty-five copies of the
"Orange and Brown" have been sold.

playing golf or some other game but
Abilene has one man who knits
every chance he gets and can knit as
fast as any woman. He is III. l..
Peterson, assistant county treasurer.

of the many articles he has knitted
for the Red Cross. His latest is a
pair of socks, one inch and quar-
ter long. Mr. Peterson used hat
pins for knitting needles and tho
socks are as perfect in shape as IL
they were large ones. However. Mr..

NO WAITS FOR HAY
HAULERS AT ALFALFA MILL

The day of waiting to unload hay
has passed, so far as the Denver
Alfalfa Milling Co., plant at Abilene
is concerned. Manager Fortney an
nounces that a car load of wagons
has arrived, and twenty hay racks
are under construction for the new
wagons, to be used in hurrying the
handling of hay. This innovation
will greatly delight the farmer as
he will not have to unload his hay.
He spots his loaded wagon in the
mill yard. takes his team of and
bitches to a new mill wagon, and is
gone.
The scheme is a great time saving
enterprise both for the farmer and
the mill, as it is much easier for the

 When it became known that the blind were able to do the work and to earn good vngs in competitor with sight ed workers the French government invited Dr. Wheeler to come to France and teach the blinded soldiers SubSe quenty through Sir Arthur Pearson, the British author ities invited Dr. Wheeler to come to England.
 In France two large electrical wOrkrOOmS have been started for the blinded soldiers The French branch of large American electrical manufacturing company has founded one at their works in Neuiysur Marne where more than 800 will be installed Rene Valery Rado Pres ident of the Council of the PaSteur Institute, Vice Pres ednt of the Society of the Friends of Blind Soldiers and Sonaw of the great Paseu has founded the other at Versailles where several hundred soldiers are receiving instructions -.ss,s $ h&sisg

 The Marquis, accordin to. ahese ac- counts returned to France St the out set ot the war, got himself ns ,turaliz- ed within "A hours and was inc orporat- ed into the army, where he obtained two promotions.

 " want to feel independent" she said expect to be married shortly, and should feel such fool if my huS- band came home suddenly leave and couldn't cook him decent dinner We can't count servants these days
 War work, the writer concludes whether it is work in office in hospital or in factory is teaching womentobebusness like and orderly It is teaching them that thing has to be done at a it more pleasant and nfny easier to do it well than do it badly And above M it is teaching women to be selfdependent giving them the desire to make of whatever they undertake
 One of the hardest worked of the new order of women employees is the conductoree of the motor bus Her job particularly wearing and physically hard She is exposed to all kinds of weather and she must be constant ly climbing the narrow winding stairs to collect fares from the passengers on Op She must make change in the dark and punch ticket for every fare and the fare k that collected in the usual American city street car varies according to distance the passengers desire to ride
 In the rush hours she must handle Surging crowds All these onerous duties she performs wonderfully we'll and the marvel of 1t is that the strain of the work doesn't spoil her temper But 1t is sight to see conductor ette show irritation As rule she is cherry friendly little who gains the goodwill and admiration of all who ride with her, especially the Americans Londoners seem to have recovered long since from their asonsbmen over her achievements.
