SCHOOL COLUMN

There will be no school Thursday or
Friday on account of Thanksgiving
day.
The school children are planning on
giving a Christmas entertainment and
will soon begin practicing.
Mr.. Mccormick, one Of the High
School teachers, was greatly surprised
by party given by the teachers last
Tuesday evening.
Two very interesting basket ball
games were played at the Geuld hall
last Monday evening. The first game
was played by the high school girls
which were divided into two teams,
the Reds and Blues. The former be-
ing the winners. The second game
was played by the high school boys
and town boys, the latter being the
winners. They were both very inter
esting games and large crowd was
present.

Figure 1t Yourself

He's teaching her arithmetic,
He said that was his mission,
He kissed her once, he kissed her
twice,
And said: "Now that's addition"
And as he added smack by smack
In silent satisfaction,
She sweetly gave his kisses back,
And said: 'Now, that's subtractio !"
Then he kissed her and she kissed him,
Without any exclamation,
Then both together smiled and said.
"Now, that is multiplication"
But dad appeared upon the scene
And made quick decision;
He kicked the lad three blocks away,
And said, That's long division"

FOOLISH WIVES OF HISTORY
"Katherine the Shrew-

Katherine the Shrew, who, one day
called her secretary and dictated her
complaints on husbandly treatment
for Bill Shakespeare, young play
wright, was the forerunner Of pres
.ent day wild women-except't that she
was never actually tanned.
Katherine caused her folks all man.
ner of trouble. From stealing jam
to setting fire to her fathers whisk-
ers, were all in days work. The
folks were trying to marry her off
and offered all kinds of inducements.
No one would have Katherine. She
was offered to the local butcher who
feared her, the local baker who de-
spised her, the local plumber who said
life with her would be no pipe and
passed her up. Finally along came a
stranger. A manufacturer Of jardin-
ieres who fancied Katherine and ap-
preached her father on the subject
He was greeted like long lost bank
note-and after various consulta-
tions, won Katherine. After which
Katherine's troubles started.
Once home Katherine's new found
beast of burden began asserting his
authority. Backing her under bal
cony, he playfully dropped a flower
pot fully occupied on her bare head.
Later in spirit of jest he broke a
bamboo rod over her bare back, then
followed an hours tongue lashing
and Katherine went to bed sort OF
weary. A restless morning was broken
by her being suddenly and playfully
jerked out of the hay, her face dipped
into a pail of plaster Of Paris, after
which hubby kicked her up and dowr
a narrow alley that led to the Local
baseball ground
Later Katherine sat down on soft
cushion and wrote home.
"Dear folks: My hour of triumph
is complete, am happy, I know ht
loves me and can prove it by the
bruises"
Katherine was docile but untamet
and waited many years till her hus
band grew too weak to treat hel
rough-when she pined away ant
died of neglect.

Danger Note Sounded in Proposed
Transfer Of Forest Service

Danger Note Sounded In Proposed
Transfer Of Forest Service
Perhaps popular support for ma
tional forest policy and for the Forest
Service as at present organized and
conducted may be vital necessity in
the near future There are indica-
tions that the give away-tonists, the
gentlemen who believe that Uncle
Sam like st. Francis, should divest
himself of all his worldly possessions
for the benefit of deserving citizens
at the earliest possible moment, have
hand on the saddle horn, foot in
the stirrup and are about to leap into
the saddle. Ever since the historic
Ballinger-Pinchot row over the con-
servation of Alaska's resources, con-
troversy that was of material help in
establishing Taft's slow-speed record
when he ran for reelection, the "gi'
me boys" have been suffering from
undernourishment. When Albert Fall
of New Mexico, was appointed secre-
tary of the interior the give-away-
tionists took heart. They knew that
by training, habit and conviction the
incoming secretary would favor the
speediest possible transfer of the re-
manning public domain into private
hands
Now it is reported that in the
needed reorganization of the various
overlapping departments of the gov
ernment the Forest Service is to be
taken from the non-political. con-
structive Department of Agriculture
and is to be placed under the juris-
diction of the proposed Department
of Public Works, successor to the In
terror Department. From its very
beginning the Interior Department
has been honeycombed with politics
and guided from the political view
point. To transfer the Forest Service
into such an atmosphere would kill
its usefulness and provide fat pick
ings for the faithful.
Perhaps we are unduly alarmed.
Let us hope So Anyway, we shall
keep our hand on the bell rope and be
ready to sound the tocsin should de-
velopment in Washington make gen
eral alarum necessary.-December

THEY'RE COMING HOME

By JOHN E. DOLSEN
The years are so long now and dreary
and lonely
Since the children have gone into
homes of their own.
The house seems deserted, for John
and 1 only
Are left in it now, and we live all
alone
1t often seems strange, even yet, to
be sitting
With no one but John through the
evening long,
And I listen at times for the quick,
eager fitting
OF footsteps o'erhead or for
snatches of song.
While the children were little our
work was much harder.
Twas often an almost impossible
task
To pay all the bills and keep food in
the larder,
To watch them and answer what
e'er they might ask.
Still I oftentimes think, though I've
grown SO much older
And more nearly disabled than ever
before.
That all Of the cares I would willingly
shoulder
If they were all with us and children
once more.
And every year as it draws toward
Thanksgiving
We make them all promise to visit
us here,
And 1 sometimes tell John there'd be
more joy in living,
For me, if Thanksgiving came foul
times a year.
I'll begin preparations next week tc
receive them,
And, though they've all grown to be
women and men
And have homes of their own, too, III
almost believe them

am going to have the best dinner
we ever
Yet had in the family Thanksgiving
day,
And know it is well, too, for maybe
we never
Will all get together again in this
way
John says am foolish and that
'twould be better
To have just plain dinner, with
out frills or pies,
But tell you last night when he read
Etheps letter
1 noticed that he, too, had tears in
his eyes.

Says if Lawyer Wins Fifty thousand Dollar
Lawsuit He Takes Hall, but if You Get Ten
Years in Jail You Keep 1t All.
BY John p Medbury.

In most professions you have to
practice before you can be good. but
a lawyer has to be good before he
can practice.
Still, when your life is at stake.
you hate to have him practice on
you.
II ne wins $4,000 law suit he
takes half, but II you get ten years
in jail you keep II all.
II you're arrested and thrown into
a cell, the lawyer comes right down
and tells you they can't put you
there.
He says he'll have you out in five
minutes, and then his watch stops.
The book on the shelf in his office
says they can't put you there, but
the book on the police sergeant's
desk says you are there.
Then he asks you which book you
are going to believe.

yer he was innocent. The lawyer
asked him how much money he had.
and the man said, None. All I've
got Is a diamond ring"
The next day the attorney asked
the Judge II he would give his client
time to make up his mind whether
he was guilty or not, and the Judge
gave him five years.
Then the lawyer went back and
said to the prisoner, You're going
to leave here today" The prisoner
said, Really" and the attorney said
"Yes, you're going to Sing Sing this
afternoon"
The prisoner got sore, because he
figured he could have got five years
himself without the help OF O law
yer.
Then the lawyer went to appeal on
q writ, and the crook went to the
penitentiary on a train.
One guy was sentenced to be
hanged, 50 you can imagine what
he would have got II he hadn't had
