Why MspInster7n

The term "spinster" applied to an
unmarried woman Is an actual refer
ence to the spinning wheel. In olden
times women were prohibited from
marrying until they had spun a full
set Of bed furnishings; thus, before
their marriage they spent much time
at the spinning wheel, and were,
therefore, known as "spinsters."

Chairman Jones's attitude has caused

Chairman Jones said that in his judg-

any fiiibuster against the bill. He also
agreed to lay aside the subsidy bill
without protest while the Senate con-
siders the rural credits bill now IN the
making by the Banking and Currency
Committee.
While that committee had expected
to agree on a bin within the next few
days, according to Chairman Mclean,

Washington, ID. g., Dee. 90
The Senate to-day passed the joint
resolution permitting aliens entering the
United States previous TO March Z. 1922,
in excess Of quotas fixed by the immi-
grafton act to remain. These aliens
were admitted temporarily under bond.
The immunity does not apply In case
the alien is subject to deportation for
other causes
immigration officials told Congress
several hundred aliens had been brought
to this country last spring In excess of
quotas largely through honest mistakes
of the immigration officials at the port
OF embarkation. They eNonerated the
steamship companies from the charge
that they had purposely ignored the inn

public what high school work they ex-
pcct to do in Wood next year. Those
students who are taking tenth grade
work this year should know before
the close of this term whether add
tional high school work will be offered
next year, in order that they may
make their plans for the coming
school year. We believe that the only
way any school can accomplish the
greatest good in a community is
through efficient execution of a care
fully planned course of study. Fail
ure of board to carefully plan a
course is as inexcusable as the in
ability of the teaching force to exc
cute it. We hope to see this school
,Alsper in the future and we believe
taat if the patrons of the school will
meet with the board at the annual
school election with some really pro-
gressive ideas for the welfare of the
school, much can be accomplished.
Now is the time to begin thinking
how the school may be bettered for
the coming year.

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922

Old Marcus Aurelius Antonius may
have been wonderful old boy in his
day, and sure he has been press agent
cd as the greatest Of the great when
it comes to philosophy, but it S doubt
ful if he'd ft in these times. The
splcndors Of throne had no fascina-
tion for him, the indulgence in luxury
he set aside. He found his greatest
JOY in looking around him and seeing
the things he could do without. When
others wanted this, that or the other,
worked and fought for it, old Marcus
smiled and said to himself, "Am |
not blessed that | do not need these
things ?" Sounds kind of good on the
surface, but suppose we all did it
We'd be back in caves in five years.
What would become of the business
structure? We might get along with
out the packers trust, but how about
the fellow who makes lollipops? Why
old Marcus's plan would even put
Santa Claus out of business!

OPERA CALLED OFF

It is with some regret that we an
nounce that the Wood public school
has finally been compelled to give up
the idea Of presenting the comic op-
eretta, "Pocahontas, next month for
the reason that enough capable talent
could not be secured to take the lead
ing parts. The chorus work, which
was to have been taken by the school
pupils, was progressing nicely, but
those who had undertakenn this en-
terprise, which certainly was a her
culcan task In a community the size OF
Wood, were finally compelled to
forego their ambition for the reason
that not enough talent for the leading
roles was procurabIe here to make
the enterprise a success. This is in
deed rcgrcttable fact, for this opera,
presented in the manner that it was
contemplated to present it, would not
only have been bic advertisement
for the Wood schools and the sur
rounding community, but it might
have proved to be the nucleus around
which this community could have
builded an annual Nav musical event
that would have become famous over
the state. To get up and present
a big entertainment in a small COM
munity spells lot Of hard work for
some one, a lot of sacrifices for all
who take part, and much grief and
difficulties for those who manage the
affair, but we believe that such events
pay big dividends in the end, and we
are indeed sorry that the promoters
Of "Pocahontas could not see their
way clear to go ahead with the work
end present the entertainment as orig
inally planned, Our people have not
yet learned the full lesson of coopera-
ton in affairs of this kind.

SCHOOL NOTES

We have only three weeks Of school
after this.
The boys received their track suits
the first of the week. They are work
ing pretty hard for the track meet.
We have been expecting our trees
for the school yard, but understand
they have been delayed by cold wealth

The final seventh and eighth grade
examinations will be given Thursday
and Friday. Several pupils from the
surrounding rural schools will take
the examinations here.
We believe it is up to our honor
able school board to announce to the
