The Junior Glass will present
stop Thief" December 9Th at the
Strand Theatre. The class Is very
enthusiastic over the play, and feel
sure that it can and will be made
a great success. Practices will be-
gin soon. and no effort will be spared
to make the play worth while.
Glass plays are Of great benefit
because not only do they create class
and school spirit, but they give the
pupils training in appearing before
the public and help to give them the
great asset of "poise," which is need
ed SO greatly in every walk of life,
from politics to shoeing horses.

Senior High
School Notes

The grades Of some of our stu
dents have raised considerably in
the last week. The 8 would
be obvious If by chance you happen
ed to see several apples on a certain
teachers desk. 1t seems as though
the students we're not satisfied with
their grades and so they hit upon a
scheme of bringing apples to the
teacher. This may have proved a
success as there are several apples
to be found on the desk. but whether
grades will correspond to the num-
Der Of apples, yet remains to be
seen.
Two years a Radio Club was
organized and all those that were in
terested in radios were members of
this club. But on account of the
schools moi having a radio, nothing
could be accomplished. However.
the school has purchased a Radiola
Super-Heterodyne radio set. This is
one OF the best sets on the market
and is about the best type. An in
side, loop aerial is used saving the
trouble of an outside and making it
possible to use the set in any room
of the building. Mr.. johnson,
brother-in-law to Mr.. Craig of the
Luxus Cafe was the representative
fer this radio set. 1t will enable the
school to hear good music, lectures
and programmes that otherwise
would not be possible.
On last Monday the High School
was favored by two song sung by
Miss Mckay. The first entitled
Mountain Lovers" and the second
angus Mcdonald" Miss Mckay is
a neice of Mr.. Scotty Mckay of this
city. She, with her sister have been
visiting her uncle for some time but
departed for Scotland on Monday
evening. The High School was very
fortunate in having the opportunity
to hear Miss Mckay sing and apprec-
lated it very much. One could al
most hear the pibrochs and the bag
pipes, and her slight Scotch accent
was especially pleasing in the Scotch
song she sang.
With the close of the football sea-
son quickly approaching all students
are eagerly looking forward to the
inter-class basketball tournament.
1t has been a custom for the past
several seasons to- hold these inter-
class games to arouse the school
spirit and class rivalry. 1t also gives
the coach an opportunity to select
the material for the high school
team.
A silver loving cup is presented by
the student body to the winners Of
the girls and boys basketball teams.
The owners must win 1t three sue
cessive years in order for it to be
in their permanent possession. Last
year the Senior girls won n cup
and the Sophomore boys the other.
These games are held on Friday
Of each week until the winners r
selected and an admission of twenty
five and fifteen cents is charged for
the use of the gymnasium. These
games are we'll supported by the town
people and ii is the general feeling
among the students II you can't
play IN the team come out and root
for it,"

THE MUCH MALIGNED
CROW HAS FRIENDS
THE UNITED STATES BIOLOG-
ICAL SURVEY ENTERS A DE-
TENSE FOR HIM.

In communication to the New
York Herald Tribune defense of
the crow is made by Donald NJ Muir,
who says;
May | say word for the crow3
1t would seem at first blush that the
testimony OF so many game wardens
and numberless farmers as set forth
in the interesting letter of your cor
respondent in the Sunday Herald
Tribune would prove the crow to be
a rogue of the deepest die. Without
wishing to belittleN such valuable tes-
timony, | feel that the facts cleaned
from a more disinterested and perhaps
better informed source will show that
the stigma he carries is not at all in
proportion to the crimes he commits
The source referred to is that OF the
United States Biological Survey
AS a result of Investigations con-
contents of some 1900 crows from
thirty-nine of our states, the District
of Columbia and some Canadian prov
inces some very interesting facts are
established. A just presentation of the
case cannot be given because OF lack
OF room, but suffice it to say that the
facts favored the crow OF course, his
marauding propensities were proved
beyond doubt However, in proving
vice that few doubted the investi-
CATION revealed virtues that few appre
ciated
A hint as to his diet might cast light
on his somewhat shadowy life. Wild
birds and eggs make up only about
one-third of l per cent of the crows
yearly diet, and this during three
months OF the year Grasshoppers, on
the other hand, furnish as high as AZ
per cent of his annual menu. 1t has
been computed that a family Of six
crows VIII consume in the nesting pc
rod OF about three weeks $4,000 of
these insects When it is remembered
that grasshoppers damage crops to the
extent of $50,000,000 every year it
will be seen that this bird is not with
out economic value These suggestions,
together with the fact that the crow
can be very easily disposed of when
he gives reign to his baser nature, will
make ludicrous indeed the high-sound-
ing call for his determination.

MILLIONS ARE SPENT
BY WOMEN FOR CURLS
Figures Gathered by National Mag
azine Are Amazing.

The original cost of hobbed hair is
not the principal concern-it's the up
keep.
Figures compiled by national cleo
trical magazine bear out this conten-
ton. The book reports that over one
million dollars were spent by women
in the United States last year for cleo
trio curing irons-to be exact, ST.
100000
However. defenders of the shorn-
lock couture, can refute the claim that
all of this expense was due to bobbed
hair. bu citing figures to show the
sales of other electrical appliances
reached $2,003.745,000.
Residential fixtures show the largest
expenditure in the analysis of the sales
sac. 100000 having been spent for
home lighting fixtures exclusive. OF
