State Auditor Reeves.
The state auditor. in explaining the
plan, estimates that great saving
would be made through the proposed
new state department.; over the pres

tion through state budget, Mr..
Reeves suggests that this work be
carried on by proper officials through
the year and not be left to be worked
out in the few days preceding a leg

ing system, would be much more ef-
ficient. he believes.
Suggesting that county agents

ent plan which provides for c0mpen-
sating the agents from three different
funds. @&H

Peg tried to persuade them that

fused to listen. Finally Peg con-
sented.-
During the next two weeks there
were many times when the boys
wondered what the girls were up to.
They tried to quiz several OF them
on the subject but they usually got
some such an answer as,
ooh nothing. just planning lit
tie fudge party"
In the meantime the girls were
practising day and night. Peg. es-
pecially, worked hard, for she was
determined that the play should
help the team.
Four days before the night of the
play, big posters appeared. Senior

CARNIVAL Is FAILURE
GIRLS NOW TAKE HOLD

Shock and Tub were peeking
through a window of the dressing
room at the main floor of the old
skating rink. 1t was the night OF
the carnival and they were anxious,
ly watching every time the door
opened.
"Shock, where are all the fell
lows? 1t doesn't look as il there's
going to be very many" said Tub.
Just take it easy. the fellows
will be here all right. Say Tub,
you know there are lot more
girls than fellows out there.
Wouldn't that be fierce? The girls'll
sure think we're bunch of pikers."
ut doesn't make any difference
who's here just so We can rake in
the money"
Each person who came into the
room meant just so much toward
the future of the team.
All too soon 8 o'clock came and
the stunts began. The boys had
expected to see the room crowded,
but they had to begin with hardly
half of the seats taken.
To Tub, Shock, Buck and the rest
of the fellows their stunts meant
nothing. Their minds were back
in the office, helping Pete Weeds
count the receipts.
As soon as the last fight was
over, Shock fairly lepaed into the
hall on his way to find Pete.
