CENTRAL RIFLEMEN
IN CHAMPIONSHIPS
Three Teams Competing to Keep
Trophy Which School Has
Held Three Years.
SPRING PLAY SELECTED
French Glasses Begin Publication
of Paper.

The boys rife team Of Central
High School has begun shooting in
the annual national interscholastic
rifle match held under the auspices
of the National Rifle Association. The
match consists in shooting from four
positons-prone, standing, sitting and
kneeling. The match will be shot two
positions a week, extending over a
month. Central has entered three
teams in the match. The trophy has
been won by Central for the past
three years
A new publication has recently
appeared at Central and is thought
by every one to be success La
|Chronique de Central contains edi-
torials, news articles, humor and ath-
Iletic news. The students of one of
the paper, received the patronage of
several members of the faculty and
have made 1t a success. 1t is bought
by students in all the French classes
|of interesting, up-to-date news and
features as the first issue. La Chro-
nique de Central will continue as a
successful publication.
Spring Play Chosen
The fact that "Trelawney of the
w ellS, by Sir Arthur Pinero, was
selected as CentraTs spring play this
lyear excites many questions. Why
was it chosen? How old is it? Was
lit ever presented before? How sue
lcessful was it? These inquiries are
easily cleared up, however, after an
interview with Miss Baker, faculty
advisor and director Of dramatics.
The demand of the public at pres
ent is the presentation of plays by
living playwrights. Sir Arthur Pinero
satisfies the requirement. The stu
dents have studied his works in
Halleck's LITERATURE"
Miss Baker was especially anxious
to present this play on account of it's
costumes, which follow, to the closest
detail, the mode Of the early sixties.
the period in dress of crinoline and
lpeg-top trousers. The many pictures
on magazines and posters of old ash
ioned costumes show that it is the
popular style of the day. To become
accustomed to the crinolines the girls
wear them during rehearsals. for they
make girls behave exactly opposite
from their natural habits. The boys
also have their chance of demon
stra ting few decades. for they have
to let their hair and sideburns grow.
The dramatic association is re-
hearsing daily and conscientiously to
make "Trelawney of the Wells" a
real success.

RUST WARNING ISSUED
APPEARS ON BARBERRY

A warning has ben issued that
black stem rust is now abundant
on common barberry bushes in the
north central area and that the
winds will shortly be carrying this
rust to growing cereal crops. This
information comes from the Con-
ference for the Prevention of
Grain rust, an organization repre-
senting the agricultural interests
of thirteen Middle Western states.
Immediate eradication of all COM
mon barberry bushes was urged as
an effective means of reducing the
rust losses.
After the spread of infection
from the barberry to grain gets un
der way no human power can halt
the progress of the rust, plant dis
ease experts declare. The state
ment adds that black stem rust
causes an average loss of approx
mately 100000 bushels of
grain each year in the north CEN
trail states and insists that this
huge drain can be reduced to neg
igible proportions by destroying
the common barberry, on which
rust gets its start in the spring.

Alfalfa In the Flathead

That there is a larger acreage of
alfalfa on the Flathead reservation

100 per cent plus cut in the irrigated
sections, was reported by James Her
bert, merchant of Poison. Cutting
of the first crop will start in the

bert said ? ?

the driest period in "a years, that
there was less RAINFALL during April
and May of this year than ever before
for that period, but that there was
some precipitation during the last of
May. Late last week the entire re-
servation was bathed in good soak
ing rain.
; "The two dry months caused some
injury to winter wheat, but there is
a good chance for a 100 per cent
yield on spring wheat, the rains of
the past few days having given the
crop good start"
