GOOD GROUNDS SETTLE
TO BOTTOM OF CUP.
Good coffee grounds settle to the
bottom fast, and that's why we're
at the muddy end of the first d.
vision pond. Team is so far down
II hos to use a periscope to SEQ
whether the Indians are winning or
losing. Stylish position of the Gar
licky Griffs proves that water isn't
the only thing that will find its
level.
No team in the league has had
such a tough time getting s,ttled.
Like a hen crouching over n nest
full Of bad eggs the club can only
sit tight for the next three weeks
and see what happens. The pitch
ers are all o. X. except for their
arms. The batters are good with
everything but their eyes, and ne
base runners don't need a thing only
two legs. With these three excep-
lions the team looks like II will be
able to stagger through the season.
CHILD SEEMS TO

TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES

The third OF a series OF Arithmetic
tests was given in the Training school
last week. Better averages were earn
ed than in either of the preceding tests.
The following standings were earned:
School average S75; Seniors 800; Jun
Tors S5.5; Beginners $50. The pur-
pose of the tests is to make pupils
more accurate in performing the more
simple operations IN everyday Arith-
metic.
Ingeborg Everson, who was taken
to Lacrosse last week to undergo an
operation for appendicitis is reported
to be improving nicely.
AS a part of the regular work of
the Domestic Science course pupils of
the class in Cookery have been pre-
pairing and serving meals to guests
during the past week. The practical
experience is necessary to make them
proficient in such work.
The exhibit, "0n Guard, consisting
of twenty-four posters from the State
Board of Health was on display in the
building last week. 1t presented in
formation of great Importance to the

ais.
Miss Veazey, head of the music de-
partment in the Viroqua high school,

eral well rendered piano selections one

time to come again soon.
Upon the advice of local physicians,
Iona Patterson of Chaseburg, has with
drawn from school for the balance of
the year. She has not been enjoying
good health since the time of her oper
alton for appendicitis last fall.

exchange list for which we are duly
grateful The Censor and Bi-County
Argus have been reaching US regularly

dents who have one or more of these
papers in their homes appreciate the
convenience of being able to read the

the year. This work consists of read
| ing and reporting orally on two pro-
fessional books for teachers, the same
