BASKETBALL PRACTICE
ON FULL SCHEDULE

The Junior and Senior girls
started Basketball practice Monday
under Miss Kollmyer. The Fresh
and Sophomore girls started
practice two weeks ago, and the
new material found among the girls
in these lower classes was especially
encouraging. In all. there will be
about thirty-five girls out for
practice.
The girls are preparing for a
class tournament which will occur
some time the first of December.
1t is thought that the Sophomore
and Senior classes will have the
best chance for the tournament,
as they have more girls who are
eligible for playing. However, there
is fine material in the other two
classes. and there will be some keen
competition.
There is regular practice on Mon
days and Wednesdays, and much
spirit is being shown in this ac-
tivity of the school.

VICTORIOUS
OVER POWELL TEAM

The most exciting game of the
season was played at Powell on
Armistice Day and resulted in a
score of 10 to Z in favor of Cody.
The only time Powell outplayed
Cody was in the third quarter when
they made their only touchdown
as a result of an end run.
Earl Cogswell, Orlando Major,
Loren Todd, Joe Kurtz, and Paul
Starr played an exceptionally good
game. Basil Morrison who was
substituted for Earl Cogswell also
made a good showing.
The team expects to meet Powell
again Thanksgiving Day at Cody.
Both teams will be on the alert
for any possible gain and it will
be a harder contested game than
ever before.

departments of the school were
discusses. A student i nterpreta-
ton of what factors constitute a
good school and what part a stu

the subject for some splendid talks
and papers. Altogether, faculty.
and students feel that this has been
a very interesting as well as profit
able week.

Armistice Day, Thursday, was
celebrated by the school with a
vacation. However the day was
profitably spent by most of the
student body by their attendance
at the Powell-Cody football game.
Few absences were reported in
school Friday, school work being
resumed for the remaining day of
the week with all normally.
A splendid program was given
in the assembly Wednesday morn
ing bringing out the most import
ant phases of American Education
Week and Armistice Day. MINI
eograph copies of the program were
distributed. The stage was very
beautifully and appropriately dec
grated in flags and flowers. We

TESTIMONY
FAILS TO CONVICT
In LIQUOR CASE

The testimony OF Judge James H.
Burgess of the fourth judicial dis
trfct failed to convict a man arrest
ed in a raid conducted personally
by the judge.
A jury was discharged after de-
hberating II hours on the guilt of
Dick Bittick. employee of a pool hall
at Sheridan.
q Burgess testified that he
had followed a sheep herder who
worked for him into the pool hall
and. finding Bittick behind a bar.
asked, "Bittick. why did you get
my sheepherder drupk?"
Bittick. according to the jurist.
replied that. II didn't know it was
your sheepherder, judge"
Judge Burgess then said he asked
the man where he kept his liquor.
The liquor was shown to him, he
said, and he then ordered Deputy
Sheriff Braucht, who had followed
him, to seize it.
The jury heard the Judge, looked
at the alleged evidence, went into
the jury room and stayed there IL
hours without reaching an agree
ment.
Hayden M. White, county attorn-
ey-elect of Johnson county, de-
Tended Bittick. The case was heard
by Judge c. o. Brown of the sixth
judicial district.

know how to study. The follow
ing rules would perhaps help stu
dents to study: Prepare correct as
signments. Have a study program.
Have a good study condition. Work
hard while you work. Practice
two kinds of reading. Avoid half
measure study. Search for key
words and phrases. Work ~independ-
emily. Test preparations. Excel in
work. Be honest.
Mr.. William Pfrangle next talked
on the importance of a school to
a community. The establishment
of schools is the first thing that
is thought of when making a new
town. a
The progress of the community
depends to a great extent on the
schools.
Science was the next subject
which was discussed by Mr.. Wilbur
Scholes. Three years of science
are required for engineering, also
three "a of mathematics. Science
as taught in the high schools is
divided into four groups: General
science. a brief review of the other
phases Of science. Biology, the
study Of plant and insect life.
Chemistry. the study of liquids.
Physics. taking up physical prin-
cipals.
The interesting subject Of Man
ual Training vas discussed by Miss
Freda Worst A few years ago one
might pass a teachers examination,
and be allowed to teach. Now a
year of normal training is required
to teach a country school. Two
years of training and one of teach
ing are required to receive a life
certificate. There are four phases
of teaching for which one may
study. They are: Primary, Inter-
mediate, Junior high school and
general. In Normal Training study
of methods taught, different cases
of school management, and psychol-
ogy are studied while observation
in grades and practice teaching are
also taken up,
Department, the sometimes alb
sent quality in schools, was dis
cussed by Mr.. Worrell. Deport-
ment is a serious problem although
some do not consider it as such.
The reputation of a school depends
on the department. The habits of
department formed in school fol-
low one all through his life.
Miss Eva Jernberg spoke on art.
1t expresses the finer emotions of
life and is present in all phases of
life. The representatives of art are,
the artist, poet, and musician.
Student-body government was the
next subject, talked on by Mr.. Alan
Langworthy. Student-body govern
ment are Students are too radical
in their government. They wont
take advice from another student.
They've had no experience along
the line of government and are
therefore not capable of this .
The critics were Miss Margaret
Hancock and Mr.. Dwight HOLSTER
Some of their criticisms were: var
iety of activities are really neces-
the students. Observation of spec
ial occasions, entertainment, as
semblies, parties and sports provide
numerous activities and keep the
enthusiasm from tagging.
Lack of formalities, atmosphere,
dignity we're emphasized while poor
English, bas%hfulness, nervousness,
posture, and preparation came in
for their share of criticism. How

PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS
HOLDS NAT. CONFERENCE

The Public Speaking class, for
Fridays lesson, held a National
Teachers Conference, and the fol-
lowing is the News Reporters &C
count of the said Conference, by
Miss Florence James.
A meeting of teachers from all
over the county was held Friday
the 18th of November. Represen-
tatives from every department of
the high schools were present.
Many interesting talks were given
lation to the community.
Miss Margaret Hancock acted as
chairman. and was also one of the
critics. Miss Linnea Nelson, an
authority on English, as taught to-
day. was the first speaker. She
spoke of the Importance of English.
Three years of English are required
for entrance into any college. Poor
English j~eopradizes ones success.
Teople are always judged by the
good OF bad English they use.
Good English and success walk
hand in hand.
Mr.. Jimmie Wylie spoke next
on the value Of athletics in rela-
ton to school life. Three different
phases of athletics are participated
in in most of the high schools:
the players, basketball and track
teaching endurance. Athletics are
the life of school for many boys
and some girls. They require good
attendance and good average
grades.
Following Mr.. Wylies' talk, Mr..
Paul Hanson spoke on the new sub
ject of public speaking. Many
people have asked why public
speaking has been established in
most of the high schools. For the
past five years all sorts of clubs
and classes have been organized to
teach one to think and speak while
standing on his feet. Often one
is called upon to speak and If they
cannot put their thoughts in words
N2d influence anybody they are a
fafSre. On the other hand the
man who can express himself ac-
CuraIely Will De a success IN lie.
Mr.. Ben Newcomer was next on
the program and talked on the sub
ject of Mathematics. The first re-
cords of mathematics come from the
Greeks and Egyptians. Much pro-
gress has been made in this sub
ject. Arabic numbers have replac-
ell Roman Numerals to a great ex-
tent, and are much more conven-
lent. Since most of the formulas
were worked out centuries ago,
we have not progressed as much
as may be thought. However.
mathematics is always valuable, one
uses it at all times.
Miss Elizabeth Thurston then
spoke on Spanish, the most beauti-
full of languages. Since Spanish
is spoken in over half of the west
ern hemisphere 1T is very conven-
lent to know. Judge Matson, with
five/other men will go to Spain in
1913, to the Exposition "a wide
knowledge of Spanish is required.
Spanish is wonderful for mental
training and memory work.
The subject How to Study"
was well handled by Miss Margaret
Greenwald. Webster defines study
as IN attempt of the mind to solve
a problem. Many students do not

Suffered Injury.

B. V. Ezell, proprietor of Ezell =
Sheet Metal Works in this city, is
in the Brawley hospital in an un-
Il mysterious automobile accident
on the Los Angeles highway 12
miles north of FL Centre some time
last night.
The in jured man was found lying
on the desert over two miles from
his ear, but deputy sheriffs who
were sent out to search for him at.
ter the car, badly wrecked and Gov.
cred with blood, had been found ear
lv this morning.
The registration certificate in thu
ear identified it as EZell' s and in
quiry was made at all hospitals be
tween San Bernardino and FL Cen
tro, to ascertain if the missing mar
had been brought in to any of them,
without result.
Ezell 3 family resides at San Ber.
nardino. When the sheriff's of.
flee communicated with them this
morning, they reported that Ezell
had left there last night at CLOCK
bound for Ell Centre. He was travel
ing alone.
Trailed Into Desert

was received at the county Jail
shortly after neon that EZeli had
been located when the officers track
ed trail of blood from the. place
where the ear was found. The trail
led out into the desert and it is
presumed that Ezell wandered about
in a daze until he fell exhausted.
The extent of his injuries was not
known in the report received at the
Jail.
The ear was badly wrecked, one
front wheel being smashed. Two
posts in fence along the highway
were snapped off and it was evi-
dent that Ezcll had collidcd with
them. Whether he was forced off
the road by another ear or had lost
control of his own machine, cannot
be determined until the injured man

EZcll is we'll known in this city.
In addition to conducting the bust
