pictures representing characters or
symbols of the-poem. This is fine
for the freshmen to show their
ability.
The seniors have also had inter-
esting work this week in the way
OF pantomimes. Each member of
the class silently goes thru some
action as playing the violin, sail
ing boat and various other ac-
lions. The idea is to see if the
members without talking can con-
vey to others what they are doing.
Miss Gooch has lust received
the certificates for the five stud
ents who earned them by passing
their elghty-word Transcription

dying the rest of the state consti-
tuition. This work is especially in
teresting since legislature is in
session at present.

the states control of the land sur
rounding the "dry falls" with the
exception of an S0-acre tract of
grazing land below the former cat
aract.
When Land Commissioner C. v.
Savidge made his deal with fed
eral authorities for a general land
exchange that would permit this
state to recover lands lost in for
set reserves, it was specified the
trade should be s'like lands for
like as nearly as possible. Noun
tain scenery is not a cashable as
set to the state and the federal
government could not use the dry
falls so the deal balances well.

SWAPPING WITH UNCLE SAM

Uncle Sam and the state of
Washington have just completed
a real estate trade that is a mar
vel of it's kind.
The state has turned over some
mountain tops and some unused
lakes that it took in as school land
when sections 16 and 35 We're
surveyed and has gotten in return
some east side lands that will not
grow much but are interesting to
look at.
By the deal the forestry service
is confirmed in it's control over
several mountainous areas that
were inaccessible to tourists and
of no sale value to the state. The
state gets an additional GOT acres
of land adjoining the famous "dry
falls" in the old Columbia river
bed, located about two miles from
Coulee City. This deal completes

A SHOCK TO SHAKESPEARE

lie ldIHOuS dlQ u1OSC celeDrdCeQ
author, Shakespeare, would have
turned over in his grave had his
spirit witnessed an Interpretation
of a scene from the "Taming of
the Shrew,' which was staged by
a few members of the fifth period
junior English class. The scene
was the homecoming of Petruchio
with his bride. Everything went
smoothly as could be expected of
amateurs. until the servant at
tempted to remove his masters
boot. That's where the trouble
came in! Whether the long travel
and the cold weather caused the
boot to adhere too closely to the
Lords foot or whether some devil
ish spirit entered the heart of the
servant we do not know; but what
we do know is that with one
mighty heave the dutiful one jerk
ed the protesting Petruchio from
his chair, and as a result produced
a more comical scene than was
expected. The play was written to
be comedy but we doubt if
Shakespeare ever intended it to
be as ridiculous as was staged.

THE TREASURE HUNT

The monthly social meeting of
the French club, Wednesday, Feb.
2. was a most interesting. myster-
ious and exciting treasure hunt,
supervised by Miss Pecar, who
scattered the clues thruout the
town. This was something unusual
to most of us.
At the beginning each car was
given two envelopes. the first was
our first clue and the second, we
We're to open at nine o'clock if we
had lost our. clue. ALI this was
written in French and it must be
added to the credit of the French
students, that not one of the sec
ond envelopes was opened.
The different cars had to go
out in all directions. One down to
the bridge. one out to the S. P. &
S. depot, another to the end of
the new pavement, etc. Karl Reese
and his carload came in first.
Those who were in the car and
helped him win, were Esther Moul-
ton, Mary Addison, Joe Brown,
Joe Siegfried and George Brough-
man. The last clue led us all to
the home of Miss Airline Mitchell,
where refreshments were served.

How to read Percentages

=
Were Dodge Brothers to sell 100 motor cars one
year and 200 motor cars the next, they could
truthfully announce that their sales had increased
1909 in a single year. Yet they would only have
sold 800 motor cars in all.
In other words, PERCENTAGE of annual gain
is not conclusive. The NUMBER of cars sold
is the true test.
That Dodge Brothers sales in 1926 showed an
increase Of 27.69o over 1925 is not the MAJOR
fact to consider-striking as it is. b
But that Dodge Brothers sold 25o,o67 cars in
1925, and then in 1926 sold 33I, 764-a gain
of 71,7o7 sales in twelve months-tells story
of growth that stands out like tower on the
skyline of the industry.
Three hundred and thirty -one thousand buyers
LAST year! Many more vital improvements
added THIS year! No increase in price! Three
powerful arguments for earnestly investigating
this smart and sturdy product before deciding
what to buy!
