The hall was very appropriately de- eorated in orange and black and the stage was entirely given over to an illuminated moon, back fences, black cats, owls. and all the other things that % to make Halloween pietur- esque.
 Mir. Frink's orchestra played for the opening number. Laura and Vera Cross sang Beautiful Star of the Twilight" and two other selections One member of the quartet could not be present so their numbers had to be omitted. and two members of the class in public speaking were called upon at the last minute. Ernest peckham recited Flanders Field" and Arnold Johnston gave a portion of President Harding's speech be- fore the Disarmament Conference. The fine work of the pupils is to be commended.
 The last number on the program was a reading of Poe's Thou Art the Man" and Mir. Childs' interpreta- tion made the story very realistic. Dancing followed for the remainder of the evening. and many spoke en- thusiastiely of the music furnished by Nelson Frink and his orchestra.

LET'S SETTLE DOWN

The big political parties have held
their conventions; they have placed
their tickets in the field, the stump
speakers and the courthouse spell
binders have started out to work
and it's time for the balance OF fine
country to do the same thing. We
lost some valuable time specializing
on who would be chosen, and on the
chance of this or that man coming
in at the last monument as dark
horse" But, its all over now, and
it's up to every one Of us to get back
to work and DO all in our power to
make the nation prosperous.
These big political blowouts every
four years are fine for the American
people They enable us to get rid
of lot evcess steam and pent-up en-
thusiasm, and they serve to show
that, no matter out station in life we
know our one vote counts and that
we still have hand in the making
of a president. We are just as much
interested here in Belington as are
the citizens of any other community
in any of the other AZ states in the
union, and we ought also to be just
as willing to settle down now that it
is over and talk business and trans
sact business and boost for still more
business. Most of US know that our
vote at the polls will count far more
than all the. street argument we can
indulge in-and it will leave us with
lot more friends than the man I'M
ually possesses who resorts to argu-
ment. So here's hoping that the bal
ance of the country is as well sati-
fled with the nominations as we are
and as ready to get back into the
harness and pull for greater prosper
ity and happier times than we are
even now enjoying.
