Unexpected candor.

My most embarrassing moment &C.
Cured one day last winter. I was at.
tending a church bazaar with friend
Of whom I was very fond. All went
we'll until We came to the pillow booth,
where I made my horrible break. Quite
confldentially I told her: Nov. some
Of those pillows aren't 20 bad looking.
and some Of them are really quite good
looking, but did you ever in your life
see one in as POOR taste as that?"
Ny friend looked at me queerly for
q moment and then said: "rll admit 1t
IL in poor taste, but. then, you see, I
am rather noted for my lack Of taste.
and I made that"
made a hasty exit, and have not
since had the courage to face her,
though she insists on considering 1t q
joke-Chicago Tribune.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Reported by Louise Spaldin,

Reported by Louise Spalding
B. H. s. Student Body held its first
Chapel of this year on Friday. This
most entertaining program was ar
by the Misses Gertrude Owen

Our New System OF Grading
A new and decidedly scientific
system of grading is being instituted
in the High School and Junior High
School this year. 1t is based on the
new found Curve of Frequency. From
this curve it has been estimated that
Z percent receive A; "a percent B; 3S
percent c; "a percent D; 7 percent F.
There are five factors which the
teacher must take into consideration
when grading; Scholarship, Initiative
Attitude, Cooperation and Individual
Improvement.
It has long been realized that the
teachers needed some definite code
to base their impartial grading. With
such a code a teacher can defend
every grade given.
Fair Week
The teachers hope that early to bed
and early-very early to rise will
make us healthy, wealthy, and-may-
be wise. Students Of the High School
will receive Tuesday holiday and
come to school at o'clock for the
rest of the week, being dismissed
at twelve each day. This will enable
them to attend the Fair without be-
ing absent.
Junior Picnic
The Juniors set the social ball
rolling when they gave the first
picnic of the school season last Fri
day
About forty members Of the Junior
class assembled at the High School
at $3.50 and were conveyed in hay
racks and cars to the picnic grounds
f, half a mile south Of the Moreland
bridge.
| Many games were played and 1t Is
rumored that several chickens unin-
tentionally turned ducks and took to
the water having to spend the rest
Of the evening by the fire. After a
late luncheon was served. Miss Bohn-
sack appropriately ended the even
ing with a selection on the Ukelele.
Inter- Class Football.
The Seniors and Juniors were pit
ted against the Sophs and Frosh at
the Inter Glass football match, and
won by a score of to 6. The game
was swift and exciting proving that
Blackfoot has an excellent crop OF
men for this years team.

tant class meeting to select the COW
ers for the annual and determine the
other details Of the forthcoming
Bronco for 1923.

Effect Of War Against Disease.

The effect of successful war against
disease and death Is to make life bet
ter worth living. There Is no doubt
that whole cities and even countries
have lived at low physical level OF
well-being. Settlers in malarial dis.
tricts Of the United States are peril
nent examples. For them life was a
sad affair. Low death and sickness
rates signify more exuberant vitality,
and more general enjoyment of life.

really enjoys life are limitless.-Pitts

Anniversary Big
Forest Fire in
Northern Maine

Bangor, Nc, Oct. 9-SmOke from
the forest fires in Northern Maine
made a bitter atmosphere in Bangor
and vicinity, and people arriving on
the Aroostook trains reported dense
smoke all the way from Houlton.
Thc smoky air recalled to an old
resident the greatest fire that ever
swept the eastern forests. and in his
scrap book he found an article past
CT concerning the great Miramichi
fire and the simultaneous one in this
state which swept through Piscata-
quis county and a part of Penobscot.
He found that Saturday marked the
31th anniversary Of that great con-
flagration which burned over 1900
square miles in Piscataquis and Pen
ohscot counties, while in New Bruins
wick there was even greater de-
struction.
The Miramichi fire started Oct. Z,
1925, at Newcastle on the Miramichi
river and in nine hours had destroy
ed the forests in an area about so
miles long and twenty-five miles
wide, or more than 100000
acres. About 100 people persisted
and hundreds Of buildings We're burn
cd. Newcastle. Chatham and Doug
lastoWn We're destroyed.
At the same time big fire started
in this State and this has often been
referred to as the Miramichi fire, but
it was separated by some miles from
the New Brunswick blaze. It started
in the heavily wooded Piscataquis
valley and went across Shirley and
Illotsville and took in the Katahdin
Iron Works and township Long A.,
then to the eastward to cross the west
branch Of the Penobscot below Twin
Lakes.
1t then swept to the main Penob-
scot in Chester, going through the
towns on the west side of the river to
the line Of Old Town. On the west
il took in the towns Of kingsbury,
Mayfield and Wellington, touching
Harmony on tho northeast corner and
included all Of Cambridge and Ripley.
