TO THE HEAT CONSUMERS OF
THE IOWA SERVICE co.

We wish to assure our heat patrons
that we are making every effort pos
sible to keep our plant supplied with
coal and will furnish heat as long as
we have anything to burn at the plant.
But it is only proper that users of
heat should safeguard their interests
by making sure that they have some
other means of heating to fall. back
on in case we are unable. to procure
coal.
While we have several cars of coal
consigned to US in transit and some
Of these released, we are unable to
have these delivered. At present we
are relying on the railroad company
to assist us in thiss.emergency with
their own stock, but this help from,
them cannot continue indefinitely.

A FEW DON'TS

Don't tell what you know-that is
the privilege of the teachers.
Don't study during music period
sleep.
Don't bring candy to school; it
makes the teachers hungry.
Don't stand up to recite. People
n,ight think you are conspicuous.
Don't study your texts. What are
the teachers engaged for?
Don't recite in class. 1t takes less
time to say 81 don't know"
Don't pay any attention to Mr..
Cassels when he says to be quiet; he's
only fooling.
Don't smile at the freshies; it gives
them the big head.
Don't praise your teachers; you'll
be sorry when you've lost your credit.
Don't chew gum so loud that those
about you cannot hear the bell and
therefore be late to class.

flowers must in evidence, and march
ed around the assembly hall to the
stirring music furnished by Miss
Porter at the piano and the class in
chorus. After taking their places at
the front, the members of the class
sang several class songs and gave
some good. stirring yells. But the
class lost its nerve when requested to
report to the Office and it took several
members of the faculty to entice them
in. Mr.. Cassels made a great show
CT severity and finally said he was
going to turn the question of punish
ment over to the juniors. Whereupon
the president of the junior class step
ped out of hiding and presented the
class with invitations to the junior
banquet. The invitations were made
in the form of diplomas, in the class
colors, with the ribbons of the junior
class under the seal. This part of it
was no April fool for the invitations
said April Goth.
