SUUIH HIGH To
START COOKING
CLASSES SOON
win Be Open to Pupils from
is to ri Years of
Age: Idea New
One.

A continuation class in cooking
and sewing is being organized at the
South High school. 1t will be
open to girls between is ad 81 years
~ho are not now attending day
school. These girls may register
any time between now and Febr-
uary H. The class will be held at
ESQ p. M, five days week. and
high school credits will be given in
proportion to the amount OF work
completed.
The idea of continuation cook
ing and sewing class is not new
one. Such classes are now in ex-
istenee in nearly all the industrial
cities Of the northern and eastern
states Through the initiative of
Principal Mars, OF the South High
school the plan is to be tried in
Omaha.
Regular cooking and sewing
classes are available for girl stu
dents of the school, Night cooking
classes are also held at the South
High school on Monday, Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings. 1t is
believed, however, that these after
noon classes will meet demand
for instruction which is not filled by
either the regular or night classes.
The work will be along the same
lines as are taught in the other
classes, according to Principal
Mars. 1T is possible that the work
may be more intensive, as it is
probable that the pupils will be of
a more mature age than those at
tending day school," explained the
principal. "The periods will be Of
As minutes length, the same as the
regular high school periods are. If
work demands, however we
may extend them"
II the registration is sufficient,
demonstration work will begin next
Monday. Regular work will begin
Tuesday unless the registration is
much lower than expected
Cooking instructors at the South
High are Miss Kopietz, the regular
day teacher; and Miss Wehrs and
Miss Brookmeyer, instructors of the
evening classes.

IDEAL REGION
FOR BANDITS
Zapata County Seems Far Removed
from American Customs In
AL Respects.

Austin. Texas. Dec. 22.-Zspata
county, Tex, where the most re-
cent raid Of Mexican bandits was
reported, is wilderness Of low,
sandy hills, overgrown with cactus
and mesquite. No railroad enters
the county; there are four little
towns, Of which the largest IL "a
pata, county seat, which boasts a
two-story court house, and San
Ygnacio. sleepy Mexican village,
where they still haul water from
the Rio Grande in burro carts for
the towns use
To reach these outpost villages
the visitor travels by an incredibly
bad road from Laredo. For Is
miles he passes scattered onion
fields, irrigated to a degree of fer
tility; then for SO miles he winds
among thorn-strewn hills, passing
now and again little isolated
ranches, built like forts. where the
Mexican Inhabitants peer at strang-
ers suspiciously, and try to decide
whether they will return later to
steal their goats.
A military telephone line stray
giles along the road. on poles not
much bigger than rake handles.
The inhabitants. who ranch in a
desultory way, and farm even more
casually, still use OK carts in many
parts of the county. Customs
guards patrol the river front and
watch the fords of the Rio Grande.
It was one Of these. a half-bred
Mexican named Chamberlain. an
excellent rife shot, who helped the
cavalry beat OF the bandits at San
Ygnacio in 1916.
Racially and geographically the
country seems far more like Mex
leo than it does like the United
States. There are small detach-
ments of American soldiers here
and there along the river, whose
principal amusement, when they
are not chasing bandits. is hunting
small deer and quail, which abound
in the country. All along the riv-
err there are innumerable deep
washed arroyos. overgrown with
mesquite. ideal country in which to
hide and almost impossible for
pursuit.

John Barleycorn knocked out!

John Barleycorn knocked out!
The defeat Of the old duffer, i.
he really and truly is dead to
America" staggers the magma
ton.
He bestrode America for centur-
les. like a colossus Even those WHO
hated him most looked forward to
his passing as remote event.
John was with Columbus, the
Genoan, the Amerigo Vespucci, the
Italian, when they landed on the
shores OF the Western Continent in
the 18th century.
II is alleged against him that he
was greater enemy to the Rel
Man than Spaniards, Englishmen
and Frenchmen combined. Under
tho alias of Fire Water" he is ac-
cused Of having swept the American
aborigine from forest and plain.
He came over with the Pilgrims
in the Mayfower. helped Captain
John Smith settle jamestown, and
ii not with Penn on the good ship
Welcome, followed in the very next

John Barleycorn. to give him his
due, was an indefatigable pioneer.
He sat under the hoods Of The
prairie schooners." He loaned a
hand in settling the Great West. He
was with. the Forty-niners when
they made Il concerted rush for the
gold fields
He set up in business on the best
sites in the cities, towns and vii
lagos of America. His rubicand
face greeted the wayfarer at nea--
ly every crossroad.
In time John" waxed so great
that he paid taxes amounting to
nearly a billion dollars yearly to the
federal government and hundreds
of millions in the form of license
to counties and municipalities.
For a long, long time nobody but
few scattered Temperance
cranks" thought that John Barley
corn would or could be dispensed
with. The big majority asserted
the government could not carry on
without the money that he paid into
the national treasury. ,
John Barleycorn was incensed
hut not frightened by the attacks
made upon him by such eloquent
temperance advocates as John B
Cough, Francis Murphy and
Frances Willard. Between his out
breaks Of anger he laughed at then
and scorned them. He boosted that
he would live forever"
His victims were numbered by
the hundreds Of thousands. He was
charged with causing most Of the
crime and poverty. His enemies
declared If he were banished Their,
would be no need for prisons, the
business Of the courts would fall
off. women and children would bt
