The Minnesota Cooperative Egg &
Poultry Exchange is another success
full cooperative organization which
has outgrown it's old plant and moved
to larger quarters.
1t is an interesting coincident that
the Exchange has moved into the
former headquarters of the Land O.
Lakes creameries association in the
St. Paul midway. This plant gives
the Exchange ample office and ware
house room for a poultry feeding and
dressing plant, as we'll as for con-
centrating egg shipments. The Twin
City district association has taken
office and warehouse space in the
same building.
Less than two years ago the state
exchange began with only six district
associations. It's 18th district asso-
citation will begin operations on May
1 with headquarters at La Crosse,
Wis. 1t will have 1900 members in
Huston and Fillmore counties in Min
nesota and La Crosse, Vernon and
Trempeleau counties in Wisconsin.

Junior Boys Present Operett;

Friday morning the Junior Boys
Glee Club presented the operetta
+'Double Crossed" in the Junior High
assembly. The operetta was result
of the boys every day class work in
Glee Club. Double Crossed" was one
of the cleverest and most entertain
ing productions ever put on by the
Junior Boys Glee Club. The boys
kept their audience in gales of laugh
ter during the two acts of the operet-
ia. The boys splendid stage presence
and the cleverness with which they
injected impromptu acting was unus-
ual for students of their age.
In the afternoon the bays gave the
operetta for the Senior High. The
operetta met with even greater popu-
larity in the Senior High then it did
in the Junior High.
"Double Crossed" is the story of
a group of boys attending a eastern
summer camp. One of the boys de-
cides to take the part of girl at a
masquerade dance that is to be given
at the camp. He attempts to fool one
of the boys older brothers, a visitor
at camp. Around this incident de-
velops a amazingly intricate comedy.
The cast is as follows:

Senior Class Play
A dark stormy night in mid-winter;
the wind, driving singing snow in
ftful gusts under lowering sky; a man
alone in a deserted summer resort
atop lonely mountain; in his pocket
a key, "the only one in existence"
his sole protection against the lurk-
ing terrors without. Midnight! Slow
ly, noislessly, key turns, the locked
door opens! A figure stealthy enters,
places a packet of money in the safe,
closes the door, and the first act of
a night of robbery, murder, love-at-
first sight, and unfathomable mystery
has been enacted.
Other keys allow the entrance of
a crooked mayor, charming widow,
a blackmailer, an ex-convict, chief
of police-seven keys in all.
Such is the mystery of the Senior
play "Seven Keys to Baldpate" to
be given Friday May seventh. Come
and find the ''key" that unlocks it.
Items for the Week
Garlic Key has returned to school
after undergoing an operation for his
eyes at a st. Cloud hospital.
Friday morning a program will be
given in the Junior High assembly.
The program will consist of two short

 The city dwcller who goes into the country for q vacation or for d holiday over the week end would lo well 10 famiiarizc himself with certain plants as a necessary pre- caution against trouble.

 In thr eastern part Of the United States and also in thc western part poison ivy and poison oak abound and in the middle states the poison aumach is found. Of all Of these the 0oiSon ivy is perhaps the plant most 5rcourntly encountered by the un- suSprctinE city visitor 10 the country and this is true in spite of the fact ,hut poison ivy may be easily recog- nized.
 The poison ivy is shrub which usually climbs by means of rootlets oycr rocks, walls and trees and is oucl confused with the beautiful Virginia crcrprr, l' may be easily distinguished from other Creepers, however. by the three divided leaves. fhc harmless Cr,"p"r having five leaves. This one distinguishing mark, if borne in mind. will serve to warn you against poison ivy. Poi sr oak Is readily distinguished from po,son ivy. II is a shrub or small ire, with broad leaves resembling very much the leaves Of the oak trc".
