GRADE SCHOOL T

When the Easter rabbit visited the
second grade room Thursday after
noon he found the enrolment had in
creased to thirty-four and every seat
filled. The attendance this month has
been very good in spite of storms and
bad weather. "a
Upper grade pupils have been adj
vised to look to the second grade for
example of good penmanship. The
average penmanship in the second
grade surpasses that in most Of the
upper grades and many of the High
School pupils might we'll hesitate to
compare their writing with second
grade work.
There are thirty-fve pupils enroll
ed in the fourth grade, fourteen girls
{ nd twenty-one boys.
Verne Nootnagel, Harry Corrin and
Fredrica Richardson have been neither
absent o tardy this year. Ralph
Neil has had perfect attendance with
the exception of being tardy once.
The Fifth Grade class is losing quite
a few of its members. They had thin
;y-two enrolled but at present there
are only twenty-eight. They have or
ganized a Literary Society and call
themselves "The Fighting Fifth"
They give programs every two weeks.
The Sixth Grade have just ipisbed
illustrated notebooks on South Dako-
Ia History. In this grade, State His
tory usually taken up only as supple
mentary reading material. This yeal
they illustrated note books by maya
zine clippings and pen and ink draw
ings. The cover is artisticaily decor
ated with an India ink sketch OF the
state seal. They represent a great
deal of work and are a credit to this
grade.
Gladys Nootnagel has the honor OF
being the only pupil in the sixth grade
who has had perfect attendance.

The Eighth Grade have found this
year II be a very busy but pleasant
period in their school life. Although
the room is very crowded, the enroll
ment now being thirty-four, ample
room is found for study and work.
The departmental work and the
Junior High School work in several
studies has been much enjoyed by the
majority Of the class. The change of
teachers and Of class ooms is as good
as a period Of calisthenics.
The Junior High School work in
Mathematics has proved to be of much
interest. They have taken up cle-
mentary geometry. along with their
eighth grade arithmetic and found the
compass and ~protractor to be a source
of much amusement. These studies
have been very interesting and they
believe that the knowledge will be OF
great value in their future High School
work.
The Eighth Grade this year with q
few exceptions, are very diiisent work

One Dollar Save. a Child

Up until last August the allied gov
ernments looked after the wants of
the destitute in eastern Europe. When
they quit, the work had to be taken
up by private individuals More than
100000 had to be helped, at first.
This list has been reduced to $780,
900, mostly children. If these can
be tided over till their next harvest,
relief work can be suspended. But
they will all starve this winter unless
given aid. Seven big charitable or
CARNATIONS, with Herbert Hoover at
the head ARE undertaking the task of
saving their lives. Won't you help?
Ten dollars will save a human life
until harvest time. One dollar will
save a child's life for a month. All
money sent to this paper or to A. NJ.
Catlin, Topeka, Kansas, treasurer of
National Collection" fund, will be
forwarded direct to Mr.. Hoover.

The Children of Sorrow! There

There are 1868 under American

Fatherless and motherless these are

1t is to help these children that the
Near East Relief is making a Christ
mas appeal in Kansas, and every
other state, for funds that can be
used for immediate relief work among
these unfortunates.
The appeal has gone out to every
town and city in Kansas and from
every locality the good hearted people
are responding with their contribu-
tions. There is no conflict between
the Near East Relief and Herbert
Hoover's work under the European
Relief Council. The first operates
in Asia Minor and the latter will work
in Central Europe.

Schools, Public Schools and other or

an for Kansas with the United States

. The growing condition is placed at

with 80 per cent a year ago and a
ten-year average of IS per cent.
The acreage last year was 1854
900 acres.
SIN the face of the present unfav-

that such a large acreage of wheat
has been maintained" the report con-
tinues.

Mt. Union. This will be Miami's last
home game and next to the last of
the season. The closing game will
be with the University of Cincinnati
in that city on Thanksgiving morning
Miami and Mt. Union have each
lost one game this season. and in
point of weight they are almost a tie
There is a feeling of strong conf
dence at Miami that Mt. Union can be
satisfa ctorily disposed of this year.
but at the same time there is a feel
ing that to accomplish this end Miami
will have to play bang-up game of
ball.
In this game Miami will be without
big Mike Essig. who has played fine
game this season at left end and left
halfback. Essig was injured in the
Ohio Wesleyan game last week and
will not be in condition before Thanks
giving. Dick Wolf, fast halfba ok,
played in three frames of the Yves
leyan game with an injury which
would not have stood much of a
knock. but he was so fortunate as to
come through in fine shape. Captain
Red Hale will not be able to play
against Mt. Union at center. Arm
strong will take his place.
Miami is expecting a record break

INTERFERENCE, SPEED
ARE SOUGHT BY NULL

Richmond high schools football
team is burning up the turf at the
Fairgrounds in preparation for the
game with Decatur at Decatur next
Saturday afternoon. Coach Null is
working his men to the limit in an
effort to get more speed and a better
interference for his backfield.
Every man on the team seems to be
in good condition and is showing lots
of fight in getting ready for the game.
Daily workouts with the idea of de.
veloping a new combination in the
backfield that will give a varied and
speedy attack seems to be working
out successfully. Although all the de.
tails have not been perfected the Red
and White mentor expects his men
to be working smoothly when they
run up against Decatur.
Work Out New Plays.
The game on foreign soil next week
will give the team a chance to work
out some plays in preparation for the
closing contest of the season with
Greenfield at Reid field on Nov. 20.
Richmond's forward pass attack is
one of the things which is good for
Sa;ns consistently. The locals have a
good passer and two good ends. This
will probably be worked out and used
in their next two games. Sideliners
who have been following the high
school agree that they have been in
tough luck in several of their con
tests and that the team has the neces-
sary speed and scrap to annex some
victories before the close of the season.

BACkFIELD SPEED
SOUGHT BY MOVE
FOR final CLASH

Efforts to work up more speed in the
Earlham backfield is occupying the
attention of Coach Move in his prepa
ration for the clash with Franklin
college in the last game of the season
on the Baptists field. Nov. 20. Sew
eral shifts have been made and several
more probably will be made before the
contest two weeks away.
The Quakers held their first prac
tice since the Kalamazoo game on
Reid field Tuesday evening. Nearly
all the regulars were in suit and went
through a short signal practice and
scrimmage. The Quakers know they
are going up against fast aggrega
| ton when they meet Honest" John
Thurbers proteges for the grand finale
of the season.
Franklin Veterans.
The Franklin team has several vet
Grams in its lineup. Kingsoliver, quar-
terback and captain. is considered one
of the best men at his position in the
state and will probably rank high for
state honors. With this man to watch
the Quakers will have their hands full
The one thing that keeps down the
worry of the local college is the fact
that kingSoliver is noted for his end
runs, but with two ends such as Mich
olson and lookout his assaults will be
we'll taken care of. Campbell and
Pike, two other Baptist backfield men,
are we'll known as experienced grid
men and will have to be watched with
the eagle eye All Of the men men
toned are to make their last appear

test and they will without doubt try
to put their name down in history by

has shifted Beck to full back and put
Girton in the line. Gordon is working

back jobs for the coming fray is a
