STUDENTS FAVOR DIET
ING ON SATURDAY
SCHOOL HELD ON FEB. 16. MEET
ING OF STUDENTS SHOWS
SPORTSMANSHIP.

Words FLASHED and opinions galore
echoed and re-echoed from wall to
wall in the high school auditorium
Thursday after school when a meet
ing of the student body was called.
Mr.. Schmidt announced that the pur-
pose of the meeting was to let the
students decide whether or not they
wish to attend school on Saturday,
Feb. 16. This gives those who are
planning to take in the district tour
nament at Billings the opportunity
of going there Wednesday.
Following the announcement of Mr..
Schmidt, Phil Pollard delivered an
eloquent speech on sportsmanship.
Though only small number of the
members of Carbon High are going
to the tournament, the rest of the
students showed their gameness by
voting that we attend school on Sat
urday. Next motion was made that
school commence at s o'clock on this
day. This raised a protest, and be-
fore a vote was taken, one of our
courageous junior girls, Ingrie Jarvi,
arose and made motion that school
commence at 8 o'clock and run
straight through, without the Gus
tomary hour off for luncheon. Bed
lam resulted. John Davis, the we'll
known Smith advocate and an ardent
admirer of Mr.. Volstead, gained the
floor and made an urgent plea, stat
ing that the majority of the students
were not on a diet and could not sur
vive the day if they missed their
lunch. James Baxter also managed
to get in a few words edge-wise. He
suggested bringing ham sandwiches
to school, and thus save the students
from starvation. However,, by this
time the majority of the pupils were
in mob state and the pleas Of the
two senior spokesman went unheed-
ed. A vote was taken and resulted
in favor of attending school Satur-
day at o'clock and no lunch hour
this vote was large majority. A
few of the young men in the fresh
men class voted in favor Of going
home for lunch; the most notable of
these were Alvin and Daniel. Mr..
Schmidt then gave the customary and
dismissal of the assem-
bly,, "You may go home now.'

LARGE AUDIENCE AT
SENIOR CLASS PLAY
"STOP THIEF" DECLARED A
SUCCESS; FINE ACTING
EXECUTED BY CAST.

"Stop Thief" which was presented
by the seniors as their annual play
at the Workers hall, Feb. Is, was a
tremendous success. A large crowd
attended, and each and every one
agreed that the play was one of the
best plays ever produced. Miss Myr-
tie Fisher again proved her ability
as a capable play director. 1t was
through her efforts that the play was
successful.
All of the fourteen members who
composed the cast acted their parts
admirably Elizabeth Larkin, Helen
McCabe, and Irene Sinko filled the
parts of the three Carr girls to per-
lection. Rae Love, as Nell the lady's
maid, and John Davis, as Jack Doc
gan, were two clever thieves and fur
nished much of the action of the
play. Helen Logan and James Bax-
ter enacted the roles of Mrs. Carr
and Mr.. Carr. They gave the audi
ence many a laugh, as Mrs. Carr was
afflicted with deafness, and Mr..
Carr's memory was always causing
him to forget things. 1t can be said
that their acting was truly brilliant.
The character of James Quincy was
portrayed by John Romersa, and as
the nervous groom who feared he had
inherited kleptomania, ] o hn did
splenlidly. The audience gasped and
their hearts throbbed when Harold Ell
lis, the quick-tempered Mr.. Jamison,
threatened to have everybody in the
Carr residence executed on the cleo
tric chair. Weikko Aho, as the hand
some DR.. Willoughby, acted his role
in an excellent manner. Guido Mar
chello, the brutal Sergeant of Police,
and Ludwig Champa, the alert Off
Ger O'Malley, were determined to en-
force the law. The two boys are to
be highly commended for their act
ing. Joe Thompson, the best detect
i've in Rhode Island, was played by
Rudolph Warila, and Frank Makela
took the part of the pious Rev. Spe-
lain. Frank and Rudolph portrayed
these characters perfectly.
The Montana Melodians furnished
the music between acts. When the
curtain fell for the last time, the en-
tire audience seemed very pleased.

Poultry Notes

1t pays to rid hens of worms.
One water fountain is needed to
each 20 chicks.
A hot, stuffy brooder house is as
undesirable for chicks as 1t Is for the
attendant.
Cod liver oil isn't just fad. 1t
helps to remedy the lack Of sunshine
and green feed at this time OF year.
II there were losses from bacillary
white diarrhea last year 1t is not safe
to use infertile eggs for the young
poultry this spring unless the eggs are
so we'll cooked or baked that all bacilli
are destroyed.
Warm water is fine for hens in cold
weather. A safely heated water foun-
tain VIII return several times it's cost
In eggs.
If the litter gets damp in short
time it means poor ventiatlon-and
then there's danger of roup. A straw
loft overhead viii help.
1t pays to study your flock and
make the birds like you. Doubters
may laugh, but hens will lay better
for q caretaker that they know we'll
and are glad to see.
1t is not considered good practice
to take breeding cockerels from the
same brood from which you get your
pulets.
It is said that if alfalfa hay Is used
for hens nests and scattered around
the chicken coops the chicken mites
will beat hasty retreat.
Protein derived from animal sources,
such as meat products and milk, Is OF
greater value to the hen than protein
from vegetable feeds, such as cotton
seed and linseed.

EARLY BIRD GETS
RICH EGG RATION
February Chicks Should
Make Rapid Growth.

Leghorn chicks Matched in Febru-
airy should be fed rations that make
for continual rapid growth, is the adj
vice offered by the poultry department
OF the New Jersey Agricultural col
lege.
Pullets from early hatched chicks
cannot be expected to produce prof
table number Of eggs during the sum-
mer and fall, If their growth is stunt
ed in any manner. Any good baby
chick ration will prove satisfactory
until the birds are eight or ten weeks
old. After that date, the specialists
advise that they be placed upon RAJ
ton similar to good laying ration,
but containing larger amount of
minerals. To have the bird come into
production as soon as possible and at
the same time have her continue her
body growth Is the poultryman's aim.
No matter how they are fed, Feb
ruary Matched birds can always be
expected to go through moult In the
late fall. They can use this period
for any increase In weight or growth
that has not been accomplished pre-
viously.
One must remember that an early
Matched bird is an entirely different
individual from a late Matched bird.
The later matches should have much
slower development In order to pre-
vent an early winter moult, but with
the early Matched stock the aim Is to
get all Of the eggs possible before the
early winter mout.

EDITORIAL
A LIFE PURPOSE.

A life purpose chosen with consld-
Grafton of the needs Of the present
and the possibilities of the future in
mind is great thing. 1t provides a
main reason for living and organizes
life into single great adventure.
Life purposes are numerous and var
led, but once it is chosen, it colors
and influences all the other elements
of life. A worthy life purpose,
whether it be attained or not, glori-
flies the humblest life.
A good life purpose will take one
farther than the best motor car.
There are no tires to puneture, no
batteries to give out, nor spark plugs
to foul. Ambition and will power
are the only things needed to accom-
plish life purpose. With these one
can travel far and reach the goal,
which is success.

HIGH LOCALS

Miss Fisher called a meeting of
the Senior Peppers Monday. The girls
were divided into groups, and each
group was assigned a section of the
city in which to sell tickets for the
senior play.
Olga Karhu, Rae Love, and Hera
Luhtala of the senior class, and Grace
Daggett and Pearl Kaatari of the
sophomore class were selected as par

"Thimbleful," one of our rising
young freshmen, had an exciting ex-
perience the early part of the week.
When school let out, at 500, he
strolled nonchalantly toward the livi-
Hest thoroughfare of our little city.
Along came Mr.. Truanb Officer who
accosted the young man and pro-
ceeded to bring him to the Roosevelt
school. After explanations Mr.. Tru-
ant Officer was finally convinced that
"Thimbleful" was really high
school boy an not first-grader play
ing "hookey."
Several illustrations of starvation
were exhibited in Carbon. High on
Saturday, Feb. 16. This was the day
the student body had agreed to go
without their midday meal. Judging
from the numerous countenances de-
picting hunger, we can truthfully say
the students regretted their hasty and
unwise decision no to go home for
lunch. 1t was feared that more than
one would faint from lack of suffi-
cient nutrition; it looked like case
of the survival of the fittest. How
ever, when the last bell rang all was
well and never before have the stu
dents rushed home as fast as they did
on that day.

Feed Turkey Breeders
for Vigorous Poults

Too much corn in the turkeys win
ter ration may make the birds too tat
for the production OF eggs Of high
hatchabiity. Some breeders feed 8
parts Of oats to l Of corn and find
that the stock come through the win
ter in condition to produce vigorous
poults. Equal parts of corn, wheat
and oats make good grain ration
for turkey breeding stock. The adj
dition Of Gull vegetables, and alfalfa
or clover Is necessary until the turk
eyS can forage In the spring.
Before the turkey hens begin to lay,
1t often pays to give them hopper
of the same balanced laying mash
which Is used for the chickens. Where
they have had nothing but grain they
may be reluctant to eat the mash but
il 1t Is kept before them, some Of the
mash will probably be eaten and 1t
will help to improve egg production
and keep up the vigor of the turkey
hens while they are laying. Keep a
hopper OF oyster shells before the
turkey hens to help In producing firm
shells on the eggs and reduce break
age in the nests.
Feeding the turkey breeding stock
on soil away from the chickens is a
help in preventing blackhead and 9th
er turkey diseases. Diseases are often
spread through the medium Of the
droppings which have contaminated
the feed. Some losses may be pre-
vented by feeding both the grain and
the mash in hoppers so that none of
the feed will touch soil which might
be contaminated with disease.

SEQUEL TO CARBON'S

the desk in the assembly, pessimis-

some tribal dancing. Then she calm
ed down slightly and stared at the
ceiling above the spot. A droplet of
SO 9-l0 per cent pure Red Lodge
water plinked merrily into her right
eye. Sure enough! the C. C. H. S.

discharge was leaking dangerously
through the floor into the assembly.
