NEW PLANS FOR HI. s.
 CLASS BOOK WORK
Hereafter All Copy Must Be Given to tho Printers Immediately Upon
 the Close of School Year.

An erroneous impression has been permitted to go out from the High school in reference to the late appear ance of the 1918 Beehive, the class book published each year. Members of the class caused it to be understood that the book. which came off the press only last week, was late because the trade department of the school baked at undertaking such large job.
 E. D. Packard, in charge of the vo- cational work, explained that the fault is entirely that of the High school pupils. The trade departm ent directed that all copy for the class book be prepared by a certain date last spring and failing to receive the copy on time the department declined to do the work. As a matter of fact the last copy for the 1918 class book was not in the hands of the printer until four weeks ago, according to MT. Packard.
 Hereafterfa a new plan is to be fol- lowed at the school and those in charge of compiling the class book data will be required to have their material ready immediately upon the close of the school year in order that the book may be printed a few weeks after the close of school

VAULT BEING ENLARGED.
When Completed 100 Bodies Can Be Kept at St. Mary's Cemetery,

The construction of an addition to the vault at St. Mary's new Catholic cemetery has been started, and when finished will be large enough to con- tain 52 more bodies. The vault will be of concrete. The addition will ad- join the original structure, and will have a side entrance so that the chapel will not be changed The work will be completed in a few weeks.
 The need for larger vault was clearly demonstrated during the epidemic which recently visited the city. In. four weeks there were more than 200 burials in the ceme- tery. If the epidemic had come in the winter, there would have been no place to store the bodies, but with the addition to the vault there will be room for 100 bodies.

STATION AGENTS TO
 GET WAGE BOOST
Director General McAdoo Orders Min imuin of S95 Per Month for Railroad Workers.


 Washington, Nov. 25. - Railroad station agents have been granted by Director General McAdoo, d general wage increase of s25 per month above the rate prevailing last Jan. l, with a minimum of $95 per month. Eight hours is to be considered a day S work with pro rata pay for two hours overtime, and time and a half for service above 1 0 hours.
 The order affects about 2500 station agents, who are not telegraphers, and who consequently were not covered by the recent wage increase for tele- graphers.
 The wage advance does not apply to men paid $50 or less a month for spe- cial services requiring only a por- tion of their time. Exceptions also are made for a few agents who re- ceived $50 or less a month for whom straight advance of $25 is granted, without application of the $95 mini mum.

are now holding what used to be con-
sidered exclusively masculine jobs on
the railroads. Secretary T. E. Prout
advocates the necessary = changes in

the women railroad employees may en-
joy some of the benefits now only
availa BILE by the railroad men. Sec

preparation annually for the mainee-
