NOTES FROM THE
PIONEER school

The fourth and sixth grades in
the Pioneer school have planned a
very interesting Christmas program
for Friday afternoon, Dec. %. The
children are bubbling over with the
Joy of the season an dthey express
their feeling in songs, in verse and

exercise in which our tree is trim

The Real Spirit.

Ire heaI spirit.
Has the real Christmas spirit been
laid upon its bier by a lot Of old
fogies who have lived too long to
sense the thrill of the holly and mis-
tletoe; whose spectacles and whiskers
have debarred them from entering the
kingdom OF pure delight where the
children wander; and whose dyspeptic
spirits have been warped with acid
bitterness until they can no longer
now with the sweet JOY of Christmas
cheer? No! The real happiness
and the cheer that 60 with red-rib-
boned wreaths aud twinkling candles
reeping'And winking from between the
green o. fairy Christmas trees; the
ti,yiil of myriad toys stacked in chaotic
heaps; the mystery OF tissue paper
bundles; the secrets that fly back and
forth under the grave cover Of seren-
ity; the smell Of spicy fruitcake and
the mellow aroma OF holiday baking
are here. They are here as they are
always here when the holidays are
lust before us.--Eyansville Courier.

OIL IN THE INDIAN COUNTRY

The report of the Commissioner of
Indian affairs says that operations
in oil have been stimulated through
out the productive areas Of Indian
country, due largely to the advance
in market price from 81 to 81 per
barrel Promising development has
been made in the Shoshone Reserva-
ton, Wyoming, the Crow and Black
feet Reservation, Montana and on
Navajo treaty land in Aroizona and
New Mexico, but the large output
continues to be in Oklahoma and
particularly in the Usage reserva-
ton where the Burbank field is
great attraction. Three sales of
Usage oil leases during the year ex-
ceeded $22,00O,00O. The gross all
production was nearly 100000
barrels and the royalties on oil
and gas to the Indians for the year
were $9,235,70

CANADIAN NORTHLANDS
GRAPHICALLY PICTURED

Janas o.. er Curwood has taken
H. o. @uian Northwest for his back
SiiSSahd, and the reason he writes so
well IS because he knows what he is
writing about. He has G sura con.
vincing touch and with it a splendid
style Every year he goes into the
Northlands and remains for several
months getting new ideas and atmos-
phere. He is one of the foremost
authorities on the Canadian North
lands and the only American ever
employed by the Canadian govern
ment as an exploratory and descrip-
tive writer. He is a prolific writer
and has turned out seventeen novels,
one of the best of which is Flower
of the North," which will be shown
at the Liberty theatre on Thursday
and Friday.
This story deals with the North
country in the summer time and is
filled with romance, adventure and
the spirit of the north. 1t is written
in the true Curwood style, and Cur
wood is a real good story teller, as
good as America has produced.

American heroes. In many hearts
his memory is enshrined, and G. A.

the heroism and virtues of this
strong, stern, silent man.
Grant is a shining example of a
''missft" who found himself. Until
the opening of the Civil war he had
tried many occupations and had been
successful at none. But early in
1862 Grant had proved that he lad

war slowly unwound sits length over
those long four years we see Grant
changing from the energetic buov-
ant leader who fought at Shiloh to
the grim determined man of iron who
led the way from Vicksburg to Ap-
pomattox.
Grant was great commander and
few commanders of any country are
his peer. But we find this great
man remembering when the soldiers,

that they might use them in plowing
on their farms.

its president in 1869, and served |
two terms. After the close of his /

WONDERFUL PROGRESS MADE
BY STUDENT MUSICIANS
THREE TO FROlD

On Wednesday night, May 8, Mr.
Scott Leavitt will lecture in the To-
cal high school. His subject will be
"Our National Parks" In addition
to his lecture he shows many pictures
of our national parks. Most of these
pictures have been taken in our own
Glacier and Yellowstone parks.
Mr.. Leavitt is we'll known through

his expenses of $12. Any over the
amount of $12 goes to the local

Don't forget the date. Come out
and get acquainted with our great

Three Go To Froid
Our declamatory contest last Fri
day evening was given poor support.
Sylvester Smith won the oratorical
division. Helen Seminars was easily
the best in the dramatic. The humor-
Gus division was closely contested.
The judges had hard time to decide
between Prudence GIFTS and Myrtle
Neiman. After figuring in fractions
Myrtle Neiman was declared winner.
Because of finances it looked for
time as though our contestants
could not go to Froid as enough was
not taken in at the door to pay the
expenses. However, the Camp Fire
Girls donated about $780,. This
will enable us to send the three con
testants and Miss Keckler. s
Entertained Seniors
Last Saturday evening the seniors
were entertained by the Camp Fire
gils. This was one of the most de-
lightful affairs ever held in our
school.
The banquet was held at seven
o'clock. Plates were set for IL. A
delicious three-course repast was
served by the Camp Fire girls. The
decorations were in the senior class
colors, green and white. A canopy
of green and white streamers hung
over the table. The brick ice cream
was decorated with green candy fig
ures, %.
After the banquet Miss McAleer
acted as toastmistress. She sue
ceeded in securing some interesting
toasts on the following subjects:

ingston.
The Humorous Side of My Senior

longing to other guests. Many poets
were discovered. The guests then
went to the assembly room and sang
songs for the remainder of the even
ing. The senior class would make
good glee club.
