INVENTORY"

Copyright, 1921. BY The Wheeler Syn
dicatc, Inc.
At the present time. when, for the
purpose of computing an income tax
or recovering damages from AN in
surance company. we take an "inven-
tory" we go around making n list of
our possessions. entering these in such
a way that their individual value is
at once apparent. a merchant takes
his inventory once. twice. or even
twelve times "A year: librarian in
Ncntories" his books every time. he
makes a catalogue; and practically
everyone takes mental inventory of
his abilities at one time or another.
Whenever any of these courses arc
followed. however, there is sure to he
hunt a search for something which
may have been overlooked. and in this
search lies the key to the word as used
in Its original sense. for Inventory
is from the Latin -fnvenire. to find.
Basically, an Inventory is n list of
articles, real or personal. which was
made by n property owner and usually
attached to his will. and which. after
his death. led to the finding of the
various parts of his estate. BY en-
largemcnt. this term was finally
altered in Significance to include any
list by which we are enabled to find
or locate various articles. thru the
idea of the value of each of these is
usually understood.

ADOPT UNIFORM DRESS.
Action Is Taken by Students of
FAssaria Rural High school.

Assaria, Kan, Oct. 18.-Uniform
dress has been adopted for both boys
and girls in the Assaria rural high
school, Saline county.
Two years ago the boys adopted the
blue shirt and overalls as their school
uniform. Altho the question was agi-
tated considerable no definate steps
were taken to standardize girls dress
until last spring. A committee of rep
resentative parents and students de-
cided after investigation that the most
practical dress for the girls was the
white MILDLY, blue serge skirt and
dark brown shoes with the military
heel. The cost of the uniform does
not exceed $40.
In order to arouse class spirit, the
girls Of the various classes are al
lowed to choose their own ties. The
students seem to take kindly to these
suggestions and it is believed that in
a few months the adjustments will
have been made so that everyone will
be able to conform to these rules.
