HARD AT
WORK ON CLASS PLAY

After weeks of hard work on the
play, Nothing But The Truth" the
seniors are able to look forward to
the night of April 4th as the culmin-
alton of their hours of effort.
The idea involved in the comedy
Nothing But The Truth" though a
simple one, is often puzzling. Can a
person tell the absolute truth fol
twenty-four hours and live?
The hero of this story agrees to tell
the truth for stated period. So sure
is he of the fact that he can do this
that he bets ten thousand dollars and
boldly tackles truth to win the money
For very short time, the task is
easy, then "truth' routs out. Trouble
and things begin to happen. Com
pclled to tell the truth, our hero, Bob
Bennett, offends his best friends, dis

very good musician, is big addition
to the orchestra in his superior in
depreciation of drum and trap play
ing.
Fruit punch was served by the camp
fire girls from an artistically decor
ated booth, in one cornor of the hall.
This proved to be an attractive place,
between dances, and a neat sum was
realized by the girls from the sale Of
the cool drink.
About midnight the masked dancers
were requested to circle the hall in
couples, and then to march around
again in single file, for the inspection
of the judges.
Miss Mary Teresa Barnhardt who
represented Spanish dancing girl
was given a two and a half dollar
gold piece for best single costume. Miss
Marguerite Gritz and O. A. Hallett
both wearing the Scotch Highland
costume were given prizes for the
couple wearing the most original cos
tunes. Miss Gritz received an cleo
trio dressing table lamp and Mr.. Hal
lett was given box containing six
pairs of silk hose. A box of candy
was given Miss HELEN Zyllo, and a
carton of cigarettes given to George
Rafferty, as prizes for the best dane
ing couple.
A five dollar gold piece was given
Miss Helen Halbert and Oliver Kent
as Arkansas farmers. This prize wa.
given to the couple wearing the mos1
comicaf costumes.
| j. X. Mitchell who had entire charge
of the arrangements, deserves credit
for the success of the affair.

In State.

Helena, Montana, March 17-Every
railroad in Montana was today named
as defendant in an action filed with
the state railroad commission by At
torney General Wellington D. Rankin
asking for a reduction of existing
freight rates. The complaint urged
that hearings be held as soon as pos
sible that the level of freight rates
within the state be reduced "horizon-
tally to just, fair, equitable and rea-
sonable basis
The complaint charges that existing
rates produce many undue prefer
ences and unjust determinations be-
tween localities and between persons
with said state and that such increase
in freight rates resulted and now re-
suits in the imposition of unjust, un-
fair and unreasonable rates and charg-
es for the services rendered by such
carriers, and works a manifest injus-
tice upon the producers of raw ma
terials, and upon consumers and upon
shippers of freight and the people of
the state of Montana as a whole and

was more than the usual hubbub on
the floor and those in the crowded
galleries, strangers and others not
used to these customs, looked down in
surprise as the members milled about,
talking and laughing while the clerk
read the 435 names on the list. Those
voting were forced to shout at the top
of their voices in order to have their
vote heard at the clerks desk.
There was breaking of party lines
on the vote for the suspension resolu-
ton. Many of the democrats who vot-
ed in the negative on the motion were
counted upon to support the bonus bill
on the final vote and leaders were
confiden.s that more than the two
thirds majority required under the
rules would be obtained.
The house met an hour earlier but
when Speaker Gillett's gavel fell there
was large attendance and the CALLER
les were filled, the spectators includ-
ing many service men.

DEBATE ON COURT LAW
Kansas High Schools to Start on Word
War in January.


Lawrence, Kan, Dec. 14.-Organ-
ization of the Kansas High School De-
batting league for 1929, sponsored
by the OU1vsrsity of Kansas, has been
fully effected, and district debates to
decide the championship of each of
the nine districts are scheduled to
start about the middle of January.
The question to be debated, chosen
by canvass vote of all the high
schools in the state on ten contem-
porary problems, is: Resolved, that the
United States government should eS-
tablish a permanent industrial court
or commission similar to the Kansas
plan
Because many schools found it i'm
to the nature of the question itself,
the league this year is not as large as
it was expected to be, one hundred
and fifty high schools having signed
up for the debates. This number ex-
ceeds that of last year by six. How
ever, the extension division of the uni
.versity is looking for the same high
standard of work which has character
lied the activities of the league since
its inception twelve years ago.
From March to April Is, the inter
district debates will take place def
initely deciding by a process of elm
nation the winners who will debate al
the university in the spring. The four
winning teamS-two from each of two
clasSes-wil compete at the university
for a loving cup which is awarded an
nually to the champion In addition.
the winner of each district will be
awarded a loving cup.
