WHEAT CROP RAISED
AT LITTLE EXPENSE

A. ]. Rodes marketed his wheat
the latter part of last week from his
farm just northwest of town. Mr..
Rodes' field made about 18 bushels
per acre. This is not as good a yield
as some have made but Mr.. ROdes
says he was at little expense in rais-
ing the crop, The grain was planted
in the field after a row crop had been
harvested last fall without breaking
the land. .

H. G. Springfield this week sold the
wheat on 500 acres Of ground in two
or three tracts north Of Clovis to A.
G. Lewis Of Topeka, Kansas, the con-

remarkable price when it is consid-
cred the wheat was sold in the field,
still those who know say the yield will
be sufficient that Mn Lewis will make
a nice bit Of money out Of the deal
after he has paid all harvesting and

 "The lessons are to be based on the meal plan.

SCHOOL NOTES
(By School Reporter.)


 The pupils of the Junior 1 spell ing class have organized for a spell ing contest. Frances Harland is the leader of the Busy Bee and Dorothy Lang of the good workers. A prize is offered to the division having the highest percentage at the end of the six weeks term. A good deal of friendly rivalry is being shown by the leaders and their respective teams.
 The Douglas boys were over here on Thursday evening to try out our baskets and get some practice for the basketball game which was played on Friday evening. A more extensive account of the game will be given ,n next weeks paper.
 Miss Ethel Nixon has been severe ly i'll for several days and is con- fined to her apartment in the Bishop house.
 Some new climbing ropes have been installed in the gymnasium and they are in much demand. The normal training girls have been coaching those pupils of the grades who are behind in their work, especially arithmetic, reading and language. The day Mrs. Lang was absent the girls went on with their work as usual and held all their classes. All the students who are not behind in their work are trying their best to become enough behind to join the after school classes. The fact that these classes are held after school does not damp en the spirits of the little folks who l rnjoy their work immensely. A shipment of manual training articles has arrived and they are very much needed. The shipment included several planes and a good many parts which were needed to fill out the sets that are all ready in the room. The new tools have made the work in the department much more interesting and profit able.
 The second grade received the pennant for 100 per cent attendance for the last six weeks. The first grade has improved wonderfully.
 The Girls Glee Club met Friday morning for the first time since Miss Kelso's illness.
 The ninth grade girls made a de- licious cake last week and presented it to the senior class as a reward for being the first to get 100 per cent Red Cross membership The seniors are now willing to subscribe to almost anything if by doing sc they can realize another prize like the one they received. Bud Smith, the president, said that the cake was even better than the ones he makes and they certainly are good.
