HER HOLIDAY MENU SPELLS GOOD CHEER AT YULETIDE. AND TEMPTING THINGS TO EAT.
BY SISTER MARY

Christmas more than any other day in the whole year is the day of days for children If big people must be grown up and dIgnified Christmas day has very little meaning to them. Perhaps the test way to bring out the little boy who lives in every big man and the little girl playing at being lady is to serve a Jack Horner Pie at the Christ mas dinner A surprise of any sort at the end of a red ribbon is fascinating. but when the surprise turns out to be a perfectly good joke for each person every body must wax somewhat hilar- ious.
 A fireplace with Santa standing at one side as master of ceremonies makes a novel pie. The mantel is built of brown cardboard on a box covered with red -bricked paper. Tiny candles and a clock decorate the mantelpiece. The fire is made of tongues of red crepe paper and tiny strips of black paper are pasted across to make the coal basket
 Each joke" is tied to one end of the red ribbon which runs to each place decorated with a cunning Christmasy favor full of tiny candies. The favors and presents inside the 'pie" can be picked up at five and ten-cent store. The cost of the pie, inside and out IS |
 very small.
 1 As this type of pie is pretty only from the front 1t should be placed at one end of the table before the hostess. There is a distinct advantage in this for the 'plums" at the end of the red ribbons sometimes need bit of assist ance and guidance which the hostess is able to give.

 Nope! But if they argue now they won't get any particular attention, bcuz everybody in town is tired of their c1ack.

AT THE TOP AGAIN

At the Chippewa Valley Guernsey
sale held at Eau Claire recently the
two top priced animals were bred

four-year old COW, "Mirian's Pride"
of City View, No. 634O9, sold for
$1,000, and limp Arbutis," of St.
Croix, No. 54123, sold for $1,000. The
former had been bred and raised by
o. R. Schwalen of Roberts, and the
latter was bred and raised by Lloyd
Rundell of the same place.
But st. Croix county Guernseymen
did more than sell pure bred Guern-
seys at this sale. A carload of sew
enteen animals from this sale was
unloaded at Baldwin May 29th. Ole
Garlid purchased two heifers, Lloyd
Pudesil purchased seven, and the re-
mainder went into Pierce county.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY
"Alice- BY The Fire.
A Great Success

Miss Schlosser scored her usual tri-
umph Monday evening when her Sen
Tor Class Play, "Alice-Sit-By- The
Fire." was successfully given before
a full house. The play is clever bit
of farce-comedy by j. M. Barrie, the
English dramatist and novelist, in
which he conceives the situation OF
an English Colonel and his wife after
several years of absence in India,
trying to get acquainted with their
family, who have been brought up in
England and who have absorbed the
romantic theatre-type idea of life.
The part OF Amy, Tire romantic sew
enteen-year old daughter, was well
played by Agnes Anderson. This was
quite the most difficult part to play.
A course in assiduous theatre going
has led Amy to believe that what ma
ture people call life consists of an
endless series of deductions and as
signations. Amy with her equally
romantic friend, Genevra, played by
Emily Mackin, undertakes to save
Amy's parents from the eternal tri-
angle, which their imaginations alone
create.
Irwin Kuno, as Cosmo, the fourteen
year old son of Colonel Gray, kept
the audience highly entertained by
his ideas of how fourteen-year old
son, and cadet, ought to be greeted,
and treated by a father long absent.
Earl Olson, as Colonel Gray, had no
difficulty in winning his family, and
was not disturbed by the intimate
friendship of his wife for Steve Rollo,
the other man in the eternal triangle
of Amy and Genevra.
Alice, the gay young wife of Col
onel Gray, was cleverly played by
Evelyn Roloff. To win her children
she assumed the roll of the one who
needs protection and, from the gay
young wife of ar older English Col
onel, she becomes Alice, sit by the
fire, while her daughter Amy looks
forward to the eventful years.
The minor parts of Steve Rollo, the
nurse, the maid, and Richardson were
taken by Lon Best, Helen Lampson,
Mildred Roatch and Audrey Arm
strong. Their parts were exception
ally we'll taken, giving to the play a
finish which is always characteristic
of Miss Schlosser's productions. The
young people are to be congratulated
upon the success of this piece of clean,
modern comedy, which could not help

STOCK SHOW BANQUET

The cost of the Stock Show now in
session here will amount to between
six and seven hundred dollars. At
meeting of business men at the City
Hall last Friday evening arrange
ments were made for the raising of
about $500 which is still needed.
E. Carisch and c. n. Wiger were
reelected on the Finance Committee,
and j. w. Allard was chosen to serve
with them in place of G. M. Stewart,
who is out of town.
1t was decided to hold banquet at
the NJ. E. church dining hall this eve
ming for the business men and farm
ers of the community and for all who
have exhibits or are taking an active
part in the Stock Show.

by the country, calling attention tc
Hoover, Lowden, and Wood as exam
pies of men whose boyhood days were
spent on farms. He quoted Mckinley
as saying that public school educa-
| tion is the safest defense that ma
ton can have. Roosevelt, too, said,
Il believe that il the American pub
lie school system should fail for one
generation, democracy in the United
States would be doomed" Illiterate
Mexico and Russia furnished ample
illustration Of the truth of that state
ment, for there ''there are too many
hands and not enough head"
And yet, though the farm is "the
best home of the family, the chief
source of national wealth, and the
foundation of civilized society,"" the
boys and girls in the country are not
being afforded that equal opportunity
which in America has always been
considered a fundamental right. The
reason for the failure is economic. 1t
was well stated at a mass meeting
in Philadelphia by that keen business
man, John Wanamaker, who explain
ed the situation in that city in a
sentence: "For the last six or seven
years." said he, 1--WE business men
have been outbidding the school
boards. If we want the best, the
most capable teachers we must see
to it that the school boards outbid
u.s." This terse statement tells the
whole story. The country must pay
better salaries for better teachers to
maintain the better schools before
there can be any 'back to the farm"
movement. The farms must be worth
going back to.
Professor Campbell then explained
how the problem is being solved in
Iowa by the use of what he called a
state laboratory. A careful study has
been made of conditions, consolidation
is being extended as rapidly as pos
sible, specially trained teachers are
proving the value of their training,
and receiving proper pay for it, and
the results are that Iowa has made
a good beginning.
The address was closed by final
appeal to the class to consecrate
themselves to an effort to assisting
in providing equal educational OPP
rortunity for all.
The program was enlivened by nu-
sic furnished by the Normal Octet.
From two o'clock to five in the So
eiety room of South Hall, the guests
of the day and the members OF the
rural department were entertained at
an informal reception.

RURAL HOMECOMING
A New Feature of Commencement
Week-Some Prominent Speakers.

Ionday was dictinguishedby a new
feature III the Commencement pro-

occasion of Rural Homecoming and
Reunion.
A program beginning at ten-thirty
was given in the auditorium in the
forenoon. Mr.. Malott, director of the
rural department in the Normal, pre-
sided at the meeting. He pointed out
that the idea of a Homecoming for
graduates of this department was an
innovation in the school and briefly
reviewed the history of the depart
ment from its inception in 1910, when
thirteen students were registered and
nine were graduated, to the present;
time, when with the members of this
years class two hundred fifteen young
men and women will have been sent
cat into the rural communities of this
state. He then introduced DIR. Car
ter Alexander of the state department
who was formerly a fellow student
OF his at the university of Missouri
DR.. Alexander gave a most clear
and sane analysis of the present sit
uation in rural education in bis talk
on the subject, "The Rural Gu Hook

er states. There has been much talk

The class prophecy was given by
Margaret Sakrison and Hazel Mar
tins determination to visit fortune
teller to inquire about their future
prospects. Miss Hammond, as the
fortune teller, to fortell the future of
the class, had to call forth by her
magic two spirits from the other
world in the guise of Austin Dunbar
and Agnes Liijequist. These, togeth-
er with the Book of Life which they
unlocked, proceeded to dispose of all
the future fortunes of the class of
1920.
Irving Curtiss, as Uncle Eb before
the Hopkinsville Literary Society,
gave the account of the auction TO
dispose of the worldly goods of the
deceased Senior Class. The audience
were we'll entertained by these unique
dispositions of the class prophesy and
the class will.

"Morn-Rise," very creditable and
enjoyable part of the program.

Scott, president of the Senior Class,
to John Williams, president of the
Junior Class The program closed
with music, "The Mill in the Forest"
by the orchestra, to which the class
marched out.

His address dealt especially with
leadership in education. Every young
woman and every young man is ex-
pected to a be leader in the COM
munity to which he goes. The teach
ers are the ones who should expect to
lead. He pointed out the strong lead
ership of the people who have strong
mentality such as we find in the
Mayo Brothers, William James, Pas
teur, and others. He made very en-
phatic the wdnderful age in which we
live, by citing the marvellous extent
TO which our nation has developed.
