Somehow she had lost little
of her interest in the tub.
When she returned to the bed
room she spied, lying across
the velvet coverings of the bed,
a pair of heavy silk pajamaS,
undisputably male. She glanced
queStioningly at Annie.
Mr.. Haverholt said you
were to wear them till your
own things came. I guess they'll
be a little big for you."
They were. Patricia was quite
lost in them. But the silk felt
good against her skin and as
she hoped into bed and turned
off the lights she was thinking
that the young lady who had
let the tub run over anyhow
had not worn these pajamas.

thing 1 bought at-"Au Bon Rire

as a "platelifter" and can be
bought in this country in any

a little rubber bulb attached to
a long tube, the bulb to be
placed under the tablecloth and
under the plate of the victim,
with the tube exS<nded so that
the joker could sit at his own
place and, by pressing a bulb
on his end, tip the plate of his
quarry at will. I had no end of
fun watching the worried ex.

of those who saw their plates
rising and falling for no other
reason that they could think Of
than that they themselves were
going insane.
And that "dribble-glass" that
I once had! Boy, was that fun!
Just as the one to whom it had

would flow down his chin or
into his cuff, and he would look
cagily around to see if anyone
had noticed his clumsiness. It

CANNOT HIGHWAY WORK BE
HURRIED.

II is gratifying news that came out
during the past week to the effect that
bids ON the Yak hill highway project
will be opened on November IT It has
been understood that work on this
project would be started as soon IS
possible and this news confirms that
expectation 1t is to be hoped now that
there will be no delay in awarding the
contract and in the contractor getting
onto the job.
Back of this hope is realization of a
need Conditions in Lincoln county are
such that there is crying need for labor.
This project ought to provide work for
quite number of local men and just
that far it will relieve the need.
In this connection, we should like to
suggest speed in bringing the Kootenai
Falls project to the point where work
can be started on it. To the boards and
commissions that have the determining
of those things, We should like to en-
phasize the urgency of speed We are
pleading now not because we desire
early completion of an important link
in our highways, but for an entirely
different reason.
Those whose business it is to know,
are unanimous in stating that the need
for relief is going to be greater this
winter than it was last winter. MIR. ].

the Eureka district and member IF the

unreasonable to ask that every posi-

tape cut where it can be dore, and the
Kootenai Falls project hurried to the
point where men can be put to work
on it. 1t has been transferred to the
federal public works program and the
purpose of that program is to provide
work for those badly needing It.
The Kootenai Falls project will con-
sist largely of rock work, an ideal con-
dition for winter work. Is it not pcs
sible to hurry it along SO that it will

play Stevensville for the district title.
After considerable jockeying for adj
vantage, a give or take offer OF 500
plus two lodgings and two meals for 20
men was made to the Ravalli county
school and they accepted lie terms,
asking the Libby team to come there.
1t will be a great disappointment for
the Terrier supporters not to see their
favorites in another game this season
after the decisive fashion in which they
disposed of Poison last week but they
are reminded that the boys deserve a
trip and that most of them arc anxious
to see what the country LOOKS like in
the famous Bitter Root valley. The
Arlee and Poison games were a strain
on school activity finances. The trip has
some advantages and several drawbacks
from the locals point of view. The rif,-
takes some of the resistance out of a
team; the home crowd is a great help
in a tight game and new officials are
often hard to understand.
The Libby boys have taken ell this
into consideration and are preparing
for the trip as pleasing adventure,
They are in fine shape physically, &C
cording to Coach Hazen, and are ready
to give a good account of themselves
Several of the team are seniors and are
playing their last game; add to that
the fact that this is crucial game
carrying with it the district title and
it is not hard to see why there are SO
many earnest little groups of football
gathered on the campus, The team has
developed slowly this season and should
be at the peak of condition for the
Stevensville game. The fans will be all
keyed up to get the reports Saturday
afternoon.
