Winthrop School News.

Winthrop, Dec. 1.-(SpeciaD- -The pupils of Miss Knights room (the 9th and 7th grades) entertained the par ent-teachers association Friday after- noon, November 18th, with the follow ing program:
 Song, Thanksgiving Hymn, by grad es; Reading, Proclamation, Nichols Van Emon; "The first Thanksgiving day." Edith Jackson; Recitation, Thanksgiving Turkey" Joe Cox; song Cheer, all cheer our Pilgrim Fathers" !" sung by the grades; Recitation, Best Way" Alma Henderson; song, "The Little Puritans' Piece-Meal," by Mary Stephens, Bernice Sessions, Imogene Brazil, Ruth Mitchell, Verbal Davis, and Edith Jackson; Recitation, Thanksgiving" Adelbert Ingram; "The Coon Song," by the grades.
 The numbers of the program were all well rendered and we'll received, the pupils individually and collectively acquitting themselves in a very credi- table manner, thereby justly earning for themselves and their teacher this word of honest praise.
 Following the program, the commit tee on refreshments, consisting of Mrs. Dildy and Mrs. Hooks, served those present with SO many things that look good, smell better, and taste the best. that those present are agreed that all who stayed at home on account of the rain missed a splendid opportunity of being inwardly comforted. However, we are sorry to have to record that two persons iu attendance came away looking hungry, namely. A. A. Morgan and G. H. Gray, but we hasten to say that this was by no means the fault of the serving committe; for we are re- liably informed that those gentlemen cannot be fed to the point of absolute docility.
 After the serving committee had thus prepared our meals, County Sppt. L. F. Wheelis. who was present by re- quest of the association, made . splen- did educational talk on the subject o(

CALIFORNIA WINE MEN
 LOSE THEIR FIGHT IN
 STATE OF WASHINGTON

OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan., 26-Ca'- ifornia wine men apparently have lost their fight to have Washington's leg islative ratification of the national prohibition amendment submitted to the voters for final approval or IT, jection.
 As a result, it is thought, the rat ification will stand and Washington will be counted among the sta.es whose approval of the amendment Is necessary to make it effective.
 The fight of the California men was ended, it is thought, when a re. cent count showed that the California Grape Growers Protective Association failed by 1,66S to get enough signatur es on referendum petitions asking that the measure be passed on to the peo- pie. The petitions carried 20.9s9 nam es. To secure referendum action 22,- 657 names were necessary.
 The final contended fight which began immediately after the close of the last Washington legislature when ratified the amendment. At that time attorneys for the association filed ar fidavits to invoke referendum action. Secretary of State I. M. Howell re- fused to file the affidavit until direct ed by the state supreme court.

the general condition of the roads.

But one fact seems to be making

in official circles.
Public discussion OF high-cost prob

into the country road Mt two points
recently. The first point touched was
that the public highway is a potential
short-haul freight and express line,
and that with a national system OF
improved roads intersecting each state
north. SOUTH east and west there will
thus be constructed the basis OF com
prehensive nationwide system of traf-

system provided the development of

assert that the motortruck as II APP
