HIGH SCHOOL REVIEW

The second semester's work is pro-
crossing nicely now.
Some of the members of the ad-
vanced arithmetic class find they are
rather rusty on simple problems Of
addition and subtraction. What will
they do when they reach decimals and
fractions? Or do they think the
mental hinges will work smoother
then?
The English w class are studying
Chaucer, the father of English liter
ature, and Canterbury Tales"

thing of Lincoln's life this week.

ance Monday

And if do get hit.

We climb around evsry place;
And pretty soon, I expect we be

more than delay, even at the cost Of
loss of membership in our organiza-
fiOns, we would urge the same to the
fullest of our ability. notwithstanding

d;ate strike. But delay here means
the surrender of all. hope.
Officials in various localities have
denied the men free assembly and free

too numerous where meetings have
been suppressed. men arrested. tried

Attorney General Suggests That

Production Necessary to Bring
Better Times and Idleness
Won't Lower Living Costs

Freeport, Penn, Sept 2o.-An in
dustrial armistice of six months to
permitting working out of plans for
the solution of the economic prob
lens arising from the war was
urged by Attorney General Palmer
in a. speech at the reunion of war
veterans here. He deplored strikes
as blows at production, which, he
said, was necessary on a large scale
in order to bring about better times
for all. He admitted the justice OF
labor's increased wages, but declared
that idleness will not reduce living
costs.
