Student Editors
Issue Splendid
Number COny "Cue"

The Christmas number of the Cony
Cue, which will be distributed to the
students at the school today and which
will also go on sale at the news
stands, is very attractive magazine
and one which reflects much credit
upon the entire Cony Cue staff, of
which William Weeks Is editor-in-
chief and Norman bennett business
manager.
1t Is especially snappy and several
of the departments are handled in
new breezy way that makes sections,
which are many times very dry, inter-
esting and we'll worth reading. The
first number of the Cue is dedicated
to Miss Dorothy Edwina Mossler. who
is teaching for her second year at
Cony High school and who is a men,
Der of the English department. She
is the faculty advisor of the Cue.
Although this number of the Cony
Cue has not as many photographs as
others have had, there are several very
fine drawings for department headings
which are the work of Kenwood Dixon,
the art editor, and which are really
worthy of note.
There is also a memorial page to
Harold Sewall Packard. the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Harold Packard and a men,
Der of the sophomore class, who lost
his life recently through an unfortu.
nate accident.
The alumni notes and the Joke de-
partment are full Of information and

reader, and there are several articles
of fiction which, too, are very interest
ing.

Jap Emperor
Still Alive But
Heart Is Very Weak

Tokyo, Dec. 17-(F-An official
bulletin issued at 8 o'clock this
morning gave the information that
the condition of Emperor Yoshihito
is practically unchanged except that
his heart Is somewhat weaker.
Japan's 123rd emperor was barely
alive early today. Oxygen and slim
ulants were being used as final means
to keep life within his body.
Since Saturday the monarch, en-
feebled by long illness and more re-
cent bronchitis, had fought pneu-
monia. Six physicians could do lit
tie for him.
The royal family was gathered at
Hayama, fishing and bathing place
on Sagami Bay. where the emperor
lay in his villa.
Sentries paced before the palace
walls.

with pine and fir trees. japanese alike

Heavy Holiday
Mails Handled
Through Post Office

The people OF Augusta, evidently
needing the request for early mailing,
not only in this city but In other
towns, have begun to rush the post
office with Christmas packages. The
local force has been gradually increas-
ed and is able to keep the mail NOV
ing. Extra cars, attached to trains
Nos. 16 and 4S, are leaving the city
every afternoon and Augusta people
have sent at least their share of the
packages to help fill the car. There
are also two additional cars on train
No. 102 in the afternoon.
Not only is plenty of mail going out
Of Augusta, but there is plenty more
coming into the Capital City. Prompt
delivery is being made on the large
number of packages arriving and If the
present condition continues It Is pos
sible that the most of the work will
be done before the holiday, thus en-
abling the carriers to have Christmas
dinner with their families. Owing to
the fact that Christmas comes on a
Saturday this year, the usual holiday
will be necessarily abrogated.

Bakers Hold Large
Meeting at Hotel
North Thursday

A group of bakers and their fami-
lies from Augusta and vicinity num-
bering about 80. attended the show
ing of the Fleischmann Company's
moving picture. What Shall We Eat
Today?" at Hotel North Last eve
ming.
This film among other things, Wv
idly portrays the sort Of bakery and
the sort of baked foods that women
want. There was also shown a film
demonstrating a recently perfected
formula by which baker can more
easily make up quality products,
such as coffee cake, cinnamon buns,
form cake, etc.
Charles Cassie and w. H. Clish of
the Fleischmann Company gave
talks pointing out how simple a
matter it. is for the baker to provide
the housewife with a wide variety
of baked foods by the use of this
formula. They also brought out the
fact that women are rapidly giving
up home making and are becoming
more and more dependent upon the
baker for breads and sweet foods.
They said the bakers future lies in
giving the housewife both quality
and variety which they said. any
baker can easily do and which all
progressive bakers are doing.
At the conclusion of the program
number of bakery products which
had been on display during the per-
Torrance, were served to those pres
ent. These products had been made
by N. S. Moulton, Of the Fleisch-
mann Company's bakery service de-
partment, at Weber & Hewitt's
bakery.
The meeting was opened by c. J..
Drew, local representative of the
Fleischmann Company. and Mr..
Drew is to be complimented for be-
ing able to bring this entertainment
to Augusta for the bakers and their
families.
