Two selections by the Male Quartet

1t is impossible to go into detail
concerning the program but the least
that can be said is that if the par
ents can be promised entertainments
Of this sort along with the splendid
lunch which was served by the re-
freshment committee, throughout the
winter there is certain to be Boost
err meetings. Let us see the rest
of the schools have the same spirit
as that of the Lincoln and then we
can rest assured that Washburn will
take place besides much larger cities
in the line of educational advantages.
A Boys Chorus sounds out of the
ordinary to the w. H. S. people, but
why should it? There is enough
talent to make remarkable organi-
cation for the boys if they will only
attend to the matter in the right
way. There are six H. S. boys who
sing in the Jr. Choir Of the Norw.
church and personally we know that
each of these fellows has splendid
ability. There surely are more boys
attending H. S. who can sing and we
are going to hunt you up and have
Boys Glee Club that any city or
school can be proud of. 1t is not
foolish to think of Boys Chorus.
Many schools have them, ard just
because a few OF the fellows who
cannot sing, laugh at the idea, let's
see some of you boys, who can have
enough backbone to push this new
thing ahead. AS "Al" said last
year-Let's Go!

very fortunate in securing SO able
and efficienct a teacher for our
school. Miss Gonman is unques-
tionably very popular with the stu
dents, and finds ready response to
all her efforts. She is our CONNER
cial teacher and fills this capacity so
we'll that her classes are the pride
of the school. She is kind and con-
siderate to everyone, and we do not
hesitate to say that she has captur-
ed the interest of all the people in the
school.
Her hair is of golden hue,
Her eyes are bright and blue,
That joyous laugh and winning smile
Will take her many and many a
mile.
The fourth mid-week program was
conducted by Mrs. Fletcher. She
was accompanied on the piano by Mrs.
Fahrig. Mrs. Fletcher sany three
beautiful selections. The assembly
applauded loudly and were unani-
NOUS in proclaiming the program
very interesting and inspiring. We
take this opportunity to thank Mrs.
Fletcher and Mrs. Fahrig for their
entertainment and their interest in
US.
The Girl Scouts gave farewell
party at the home of Frances Stouffer
in honor of Violet aSkurha, who is
soon to leave Washburn for Milwau-
kee where she will make her future
home. The girls reported splendid
time despite the fact that perhaps it
would be the last time that Violet
would be one of them. The follow
ing Scouts were there: Frances
Stou, Lillian Scantland, Loretta
Joanis, Edith Welton, Fay Hensley,
Olivia Anderson, Alyce Anderson,
Helen Johnson and Alyce Kinney.
Miss Norton and Miss German acted
as very capable chaperones.
Violet Skurha has spent her entire
ten years of schooling in Washburn
and has made hosts of friends who
will all miss her greatly. May
heaps Of the best go with you, Violet,
and remember us all occasionally.

team dsbanded last week. All the
squad were told to hand in their
suits. The season has been some

first game by a score of 26 to 6 to
the Park Folls team. They also
lost the second game to. Northland
College by score of FL to 0. The
two other scheduled games, one
with Iron River and the other with
Park Falls were cancelled. The

EDITORIAL STAFF

It is the aim Of the High School
Editorial Staff to render the best SER
vice possible. We want to give to
the public a clear idea Of the school
financial statistics especially, be-
cause we think it is only right
that the people be informed what is
being done with the finances toward
which they contribute. In the past
three years, the liabilities have ex-
ceeded the resources, and we intend
that this shall not happen again. The
best asset the people of America have
is the man who represents them un.
selfishly and ably in their public af.
fairs, and as far as we are concern.
ed, this asset shall not be impaired

PEDDLING BLUE SKY

Peddlers of shares in oil wells, gold
mines, FEARLESS and gearless automo-
biles, rubber stock, and such like mar
vels, have been meeting with remark
able success in talking dollars out of
Government clerks. The failure ola
large number of brokerage houses in
New York and other cities is thought
to have accelerated the boom in the
'free-lacing of stock. The big stock
exchanges aside from the fact that
they have experienced wide fuctua-
tions, have usually protected those
who bought stocks through them.
But the exchanges for unlisted stocks
have been less successful, and lbrok-
ers plying through them have
brought woe to widows, orphans and
morons. In Washington there have
been a good many indictments of
blue-sky statesmen; and the -authori-
ties have sounded frequent warnings
70 the public to refrain from buying
stocks about, which the pur-,
chasers knew nothing. One pro-
secutor in the National Capital cri-
ticises the man who said that "a
sucker is born every minute" be-
cause he didn't count them all.

FARM CREDIT

A good deal of fault is being found
with the policy by which the Govern
ment started during the war-and
which it has since continued, of or
ganizing methods of credit for farm
ers. Opponents of farm credits that
are fostered by the Government nave
a good deal to say about "too much
money! an Inflated currency"
'greenbacks," and that line of talk.
Credit, they assume, should be left
wholly to the discretion of the bank
ers. The evils of Government inter-
ference through the operations of the
War Finance Corporation are point
ed out as having lei to "oger,oa ming
in the agricultural regions of the
country. Now, all this sort of OBJ
lection might be worth considering
except for the undisguised fact that
it comes from large financial centers
where quick credits are vital to the
continued prosperity of large COM
mercial and financial interests. In
Reorganization of this very neces-
sity Congress gave to the country
the Federal Reserve Act, through
the operation of which it is possible
to move few carloads of money.

WASHINGTON LETTER :
By j. e. Jones.
WOMEN's WAGE

Regardless of the differences that
may exist concerning the rights OF
men and women in the political
world on election day, the judges OF
the District of Columbia Court OF
Appeals have sought to level the
ground through their decision COW
ering the minimum wage for wo-
men. Congress periodically resolves
itself into a sort of common council
Tor the city of Washington, and on
certain ssDistrict Day" the good
solons thought it time to put stop
to starvation wages paid to ribbon
counter clerks, the girls in five and
ten cent stores, and the employees In
many office and business places IN
the District. They argued that the
war workers who came to Washing
ton swim the war" received from $500
to $3.50 a month; and their logic told
them that it was burning shame for
Uncle Sam to provide these girls
and women with plenty OF money
for furs in die summertime and
sheer silk hosiery for the winter
months while at the same time the
"poor girls" and women of the city
struggled along on meagre wages
paid by stingy employers. Investi-
cations interviewed and in accordance
with the official reports a minimum
wage law was put through Congress.
This law fixed the Lowest weekly
wage at $3.50. The people of
Washington apparently felt we'll sat
isfied with the measure. But, as
usual, there were dissenters, and the.
constitutionality of the act was at
tackled. The highest court of the
District wrestled with the problem,
and finally issued a somewhat lengthy
opinion, in which it was decreed that
"the constitutional limitations upon
Congress involve fundamental
principles of human rights reserved
to the people, and not any favored
class of citizenship" This "joker"
in the court decision assumes that
the sexes are now entirely equal, be-
cause of the other quirp in the con-
stitution through which women were
given the vote. Women, we are
told, have been accorded full equality
with men in the commercial and pol
itical world, and therefore it lis
deemed "class legislation when
Congress interiors to differentiate be-
tween the sexes. One of the judges
admits that ''a number of states
have enacted similar laws and they
have generally been upheld by the
state courts, but that by no means
forecloses the District court makes
an argument that would grace the
debates heard in industrial confer
ences, an dthis decision taken in con-
nection with those of the state
courts which have viewed the matter
in a different light, constitute
vertiable fund Of information and
misinformation upon the subject of
the minimum wage.
The lower courts having had their
say the United States Supreme Coura
will likely soon be called upon to
tell the country which of the judges
guessed right. For judges are not
like doctors that disagree, because
the courts have final tribunal 10
pronounce the last word.

ers associations, a farm bloc" in
Congress-, and other effective politi-
cal machinery, designed to make
money and credits available in their
communities. The political candi
date who wanted to make New Jersey
as wet as the ocean" has nothing on
the organized farming interests of
the country who propose to make
credits and money as "elastic" in
their own communities as it is in
Wall Street. Now it may be, as
some have claimed, that there is too
much money in circulation, but even
so, the class of people remain UNI
discovered who do not want all they
can get of it for their particular
uses. 1t is all the same, no matter
whether it is in the corn belt, the
land of cotton the orchard country,
manufacturing New England, or in
the grain production sections.
WHEN CONGRESS MEETS AGAIN
Most of the time between now and
Christmas will be devoted by the
politicians in Congress in explain
ing show it happened The sands
of life and the tenure of Congress
men run swiftly. An hour glass
empties its bulk in an hour. Con-
gress empties the POLITICAL bulb every
two years. In the intervals between
explanations of the recent political
mystery the Administration pro-
poses to push the ship subsidy bill
and number of other matters of
unfinished business. Sentiment con-
corning the subside bill is greatly di-
vided land there is little probability
of bill going through Congress un-
til weeks, and perhaps months of
time, is spent upon it. Just now
shere is the usual talk about freeing
the country of the burden of Con-
gress next spring and summer. But
nobody need take that kind of pro-
phesy seriously; since it has unques-
tionably become a necessity for the
Legislative bodies Of the Nation to
remain in session eight or ten months
every year in order to keep up with
the growth of the public business.
REDUCING THEIR RATES
The Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company has asked permission
20 re6duce telephone rates to 49,
600 Washington subscribers, each of
whom will receive benefits amounting
to about six dollars year. The
company says that the return on its
capital stock has increased and it
wishes to give the public the benefit
of improved business by the lower
rates. Naturally the public is not
going to object.
Anothere instance of big reduc-
tons in rates to electric current users
has been made by the Alabama Pow
er Company. This company is a
competitor before the Government for
the acquisition of Muscle Shoals, and
a facetious individual wants to knew
whether the rate cut is intended to
keep up with Henry Ford who re-
Gently made reduction in the prices
of his rough-riders.
