PARIS, Jan. 15.-By maiD-Al-
ready seats are being reserved for
the greatest show the world has
ever seen.
Just when this show will take
place no one knows. 1t may be
within six months and it may not
be for a year, but Paris is filled
with people who are putting up 100
francs now just to be sure of seat
whenever the times comes.
The show is one of which every
French soldier and civilian has
dreamed for four and half years.
1t will take place the day when,
with the treaty of peace actually
signed and the war really ended, the
French regiments will come to Paris
from the front and, marching under
the Arch of Triumph, will sweep
down the Champs Elysees to the
Place de la Concorde.
The French government has ap-
pointed a commission to study the
plans and details for this great day.
The French people know enough
of vast military pageants to know
that they cannot take place in an
hour. And one must eat while he
waits

War Time Prices Continue.

By United Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 29.-Sixty
public warehouses in the state are
overflowing with accumulated food
stuffs today while retail prices cling
generally to wartime levels.
If these stores were placed on the
market the cost of living would hit
the toboggan. The comparison
with the quantity of food in storage
on January 10 this and last year,
shows a tremendous increase as
was demonstrated by figures given
in reports by warehouse managers
to the state department and
checked by inspectors.

audiences with her exceptional
talent.
She has even won a good medal
with her music and no battle-scarred
warrior ever wore his croix de

She plays the ukelele and the guitar,
but we pause for breath!
Miss Nickel has literary talent
too, for she was a member Of the
Register staff. This little sheet is
source of great joy to the students
of the school and its issue is eagerly
anticipated especially by the budding
authors who have contributed to its
pages. Who knows but that many
an O. Henry in the making have
seen their first signed" story in
this high school bulletin?
A little group of human bluebirds
look to this young woman for guild
ande and instruction for she is a
campfire instructor and she finds
time to train younger minds in all
the lore of woodcraft and nature.
She was once a campfire girl, her
self, and was so enamoured OF the
work that she volunteered to teach
Others in the art of bringing glad
ness into the world.
We have not yet discussed the
most important point in this nara
tive of things accomplished. Just
why did Miss Mickeps classmates
adjudge her the most original grad
uate? Wait until we tell you and
you will be more than willing to
abide by their decision. She has the
gift of rhyme and rhythm and she
wrote a number of original parodies
which were used at the road show
given early in the spring at the
school. This is one of the events
of the school year, and how eagerly
the girls and boys cast their books
aside and try their skill behind the
footlights! Miss Mickel's clever lit
tie rhymes were really sensation
when illustrated by the actors and
quite brought down the house"
In lieu of the many and varied
accomplishments of this unusually
clever girl, do you not agree that

THE four years race is won!
Flushed and eager. the young
athletes reach out to grasp the
goal, while fond parents and friends
cheer from the sidelines. There are
no loving cups or blue ribbons pre-
scented, but each receives trophy of
sheepskin. Thus fortified, they pause
for breath before beginning the
great race with Life, each anticipat-
ing that the laurel wreath of sue
cess will be laid on their brows ere
they traverse the last mile which
shall lead to the sunset and the
hereafter.
Casting backward glances over
the course just run, there are many
of the contestants who left evidence
of their peculiar talents AND indi-
viduality that will not soon be for
gotten. The great high school on
the hill will hear the echoes of their
songs and laughter no more, but
the memories of their achievements
$ willgrow brighter as the years pass.
The members of the senior class
held a most interesting debate
shortly before commencement. The
weighty question was to decide just
who was the wittiest, the prettiest,
the cutest, etc. Feminine hearts
were all a-hutter, feminine minds
all a maze, for who would be
chosen? The honors were bestowed
after much indecision by the youth
full judges, and probably Miss
Gladys Nickel received the one of
the most enviable applications, for
she was judged the most original
girl in the class.
IA little peep into the life of this
pretty school girl with her merry
smile would prove inspiring for she
is indeed an object lesson Of indus
try. Weary housewives, whose cares
seem multitudinous, blase society
buds who feel that life is such a
weary round, business women who
find each day far. too short, pause
and retrospect on the accomplish
ments and obligations of this twen-
tieth century high, school graduate.

route through various cities from
Detroit to New York, via Washing

land from which port he sailed after
spending thirty exciting days in the
United States. He was later, King
Edward VII, and in August of this
year his young grandson, who has
lust passed his oath birthday, will
come to Canada, and thence to
the United States and to Wash

Mrs. Wichfeld was the widow Of

field and her own mother. Mr.. and.
Mrs. Wichfeld are going to Den
mark next month and will make a
prolonged visit in Paris with this
daughter, who is the wife of Lieut..

here, at the Shoreham. He is about
q years old, slender and unassum-

not by this prince of the royal blood,
but by the visit OF the president
