"Under the system of consolidation We
can keep in touch with every school in
the district" said Mr.. Jones. There are
six schools in our consolidated district
in the country and two in town and We
are able to help each other in meth
DDS Of teaching because of the close
touch we must keep with each other"
In little carts drawn by ponies, on
horseback or on foot, the students Of the
Hallsville High School come every week
morning at O'Clock. And those that live
the fatherest in the country reach school
the earliest, according 10 Mr.. Jones.

Japanese Religious observanees That
Take Place In Coolest Season
Of the Year.

A japanese religious observance pc
cullar to the coolest season Of the
year Is that of bathing IN cold water
and wearing to and from the bath a
single kimOnO of pure white, with a
white band about the head The cere-
mOny. says the japan Advertiser in
a recent Issue. is out Of respect TO
FudO-san. the god of Gre, primarily.
Those observing the custom carry a
lantern and jingle a small bell as they
go along the street. The season con.
tinues for thirty days.
The first fifteen days OF the season
is called the daiken. or great cold,
and the second fifteen days the shO-
kon. or small cold. Most of those who
90 through the ceremony are young
men. apprentices in some trade, who
run to and from the bath. repeating
the words. "RokkOn ShOjo." as they
go. The principal temple and bath is
the one in Fukawaga-ku. The cold
water bath there was recently re-
built at a cost Of 100000 yen In an.
tleipatiOn of the cold season. II Is
open for women only until 6 O'Clock
In the evening. but at all hours in
the day for men. Among the women
are many young actresses. who pray
earnestly for success In their profess
sion. Another Fudo shrine is near
Meguro station.

lists. says a writer In the New York
Sun, call him the most wary. the most
amusing, the cleverest of birds. He is
also described as grave, dignified and
sedate. The bill Of the raven is a
formidable WEAPON, strong. stout,
sharp at the edges and curved to-
ward the tip, 1t is his one weapon Of
Offense, but 1t answers the purpose Of
two or three. Like the dirk of the
Old-time plainsman. It is available as
dagger or as a carving knife; and
II can also be used as a pair Of
pinchers. With one blow 1t can kill
rat, and the raven can easily drive
It through the splnes OF a hedgehog.
If II is true that the raven will never
attack a man, probably 1t is not so
much from lack Of courage as from
the birds keen intellectual perception
Of what is unwise.

The Love Of Color.

Vegetable dyes were used by the
aborigines Of all parts of America for
Ornamenting their utensils. staining
their baskets and fabrics. Many Of
the textiles found in the prehistoric
graves Of Peru are remarkable for
their beautiful and permanent colOrs.
Few of these. unfortunately, can be
traced to the plants from which they
were derived. The introduction Of
foreign dyes has been disastrous.
Their cheapness and the facility with
which they can be transported has
caused them TO be widely adopted
In place of native dyes. the prepara-
ton of which is fast becoming obso-
lete. The ancient Mexicans made use

be one of the biggest entertainment events attempted locally.
 Everything they have arranged be- speaks the unusual and the extreme in entertainment value. Take the balloon shower for instance Monday night. The list of presents secured looks like an inventory of a big de- partment store. Everything imagin able is on the list, merchandise of all kinds, surprise packages, novelties, innovations; one can hardly think of a single thing that is not covered in the balloon shower. And the balloon shower is but one of a hundred stants that will happen on that night alone.
 And on Tuesday night a 49 dance. Here they have surely spread them selves. Lots of things passed as amusement in the days of '49 that have been re1egated long since to the discard, but the Elks drill team has appointed the official historical in vestigator to get on the job, and his findings will be. brought to light in the appointments that will be on hand at the ballroom during the frontier dance on that night.
 The drill team has announced a cash prize will be awarded the best costumed woman and the best cos tuned man during this evening.
 That also is the night of the award of the Ford automobile, another item that gives one an idea of the scale the boys have reached in this enter tainment par excellence. Everywhere tickets are being sold. and everyone is buying them.
 They will have Carol Reeds jazz band on hand for both evenings. The admission at the gate and the charge for dancing will be the same as has prevailed all during the regular sum- mer season at the park. RBhards and Mace have turned the park over | to the Elks drill team and they're going to win, hands down.
 Reservations for either night may be made in person or over the tele- phone at the Elks club. any time during the day or evening.

 Elliott Dexter's role is that of a student of phychology, a close ac- quaintance of famous judge who is likewise deeply interested in the same study. The story breaks at a time when the young son of a prominent family has caused death of a com panion, is being tried for the crime. His sentence is pronounced, and the situation looks black indeed. It hap pens that the boy has an inherent fear of the jewel known a the cat s eye, and it is when he has been taunted by the companion, who
 brandishes the hated jewel before him. that the fatal blow is struck.
 ton of the judge who is to hear the motion for a new trial and the course of the friends forms the basis for one of the most compelling plays Thomas ever wrote. A delightful vein of romance and love underlies the stirring adventure phase of the
 story.
 Dexter's support includes Winter

derworld for local color for a forth coming story, she meets the man who first won her love. He is a broken derelict, an absinthe fiend, only a shadow of the man who held the world at his feet during the height of his fame. Her chance for atone ment had come. She would restore the man to health and fame, she would work ceaselessly in the refor- nation, and her task is started. Through the long struggle her love for the unfortunate is made even more profound, and their struggle back to the path of right is the cen tral theme of the drama.
 Associated with Elsie Ferguson are Conrad Nagel, Winifred Greenwood, Helen Dunbar, Clarissa Selwyn and others of note.
 A comedy and the news are the added features.
 Sunday starts the engagement of Ralph Gonnor's stirring tale of the Canadian wilds, The Sky Pilot" produced by Catherine Curtis, a former Phoenix woman.
