LINCOLN SCHOOL

In our room there are eight
health charts. Some of the charts
show food, some cleanliness, some
exercise and rest.
There is a posture chart, too. 1t
tells us not to slump down like the
Patchwork Girl or like the Scare
crowd Boy, but to sit up like Uni
versal boy or girl-Lup Jung, 5B.
In our room we are drawing big
pictures of Indians. When we are
through with them we are going tc
choose the best ones for a great big
picture. Costello, 5B.
We have been studying about the
colonial schools the past few days.
We should be thankful for our good
school houses nowadays. Anyhow,
Mrs. Griffin hasn' a birch rod
ready for use and doesn t look as
if she would like to eat us as the
colonial school master did.-Lucille
Tuckfarber, 5B
We are studying corn in our
room and it is very interesting. A
few children have brought Indian
corn. The teacher told us a ia
BILE about corn. There are at least
70 uses of corn as well as many
varieties.-Patty Thompson.
In school we have been studying
about Egypt but are now studying
about Greece. Another boy and I
are making the Acropolis out of
clay. The Greeks were more inter-
ested in their public buildings and
temples than they were in their
homes.-Oliver Trentham, 6B.
We have a spelling chart which
shows the grade status of every pu-
pill. Those of us who are below
grade are doing remedial work SO
that we can be up TO grade next
time the test is given.-HoWard
Rhodes, 6B.
Yesterday we started a new frieze
on Greece. Some of the children
are making warriors, some the
Trojan war horse, and others the
Greek galley.-John Oliver, 6B.
The Greeks believed that they
could communicate with the gods
through oracles. An oracle was a
holy place where a priest or priest
esS on being asked a question would
go off in a trance and give an an
swer that was supposed to come
from the gods. The most important
oracle was at Delphi. - Rosalind
Thompson, 6B.
Everyone who gets 100 in the
weekly spelling test gets to put his
paper on the bulletin board. We

1t seems to me that the teach
ers have found the key to teaching
this year. Instead of going over
the same work that we had in the
fourth, fifth, or sixth grade-only
putting in a little more difficult
work-the teachers are preparing
us for high school. They are find
ing out what subjects we are weak
in and are giving us extra work in
those. If we all cooperate it
seems as though there ought to be
some good results.-Robert McCas-
lin, 8B-3.
In Miss Raab's literature class
we are studying famous men. Each
person chooses a famous man or
woman and gives a book report
about his or her life. This is very
interesting because you really learn
something about someone who has
been success in life.-Ruby Nor
ris, 8B-3.
The nature study classes have
been very busy collecting insects
and making their gardens The

HARDING SCHOOL

Our supply of balls and bats
came last week. 1t was almost like
a visit from Santa Claus. Every
child should be grateful to the
man who invented balls. So many
fine games are played with the bas-
ket, volley, and soccer balls and
the ever-popular indoor ball is
always working overtime. They
have played an invaluable part in
teaching fair play and square
shooting in all games.
Harding chose little Shirley
Kinne for their queen to represent
her school in the fall opening par
ade Saturday. She is one of our
smallest girls from the "a class. A
beautifully decorated cart drawn
by two boys bore our queen in
state. These boys from the fourth
grade were dressed in white and
escorted her: Jack Duff, Stanley
Conkey, Gene Oswalt, Leroy Pat
ton, w. j. Thornburg, Paul Haun,
Joe Philley, George Moloof, Eugene
Conley, Glenn Hill, Clark Norris,
Jay Burritt, Oscar Solomon, Joe

A report made by Jay Burritt:
The Albatross
This bird belongs to the gull fam
lily. It's wings are from IL to II feet
from tip to tip. Their eggs are
about four inches long and make
good food The natives, who are
cannibals blow up the entrails OF
the birds for floats and use them
for fish nets and other things. The
bones are used for pipes and il,
other ways. The birds follow ships
for six or seven days. They sit

CARNIVAL ON
EAST SIDE TO
HELP TAMPICO

Under the auspices of the Mex
ican Association, Benito Juarez, q
we'll appointed and conducted car
nival was held in the East Side
park yesterday.
The proceeds from the enter
tainment will go to aid in relieving
the victims of the recent Tampico
disaster.
The entertainment began in the
early morning and continued until
midnight. The attendance was large
and the many concessions were
largely patronized. During the af-
ternoon the BraWley girls and the
Ell Centro girls played a very inter-
eSting game, the final score being
1914 in favor of Brawley Music
during the afternoon and evening
was furnished by the Mexicali
Concert Band sent here by the
Mexican officials to assist in the
celebration, and by the Bill Payne
Orchestra local organization
that is becoming a real factor in
the citys musical organizations.
The colorful and unique decora-
tions of the park and participants
together with the varied amuse-
ments and entertainment gave the
setting the appearance of a we'll
planned Kermess.
The promoters are appreciative of
the assistance rendered by their
colored neighborS. The colored
population of the county gave the
affair its unstinted support, not
only patronizing it in large num-
bers but many participating in
conducting the entertainment.

plans to achieve the desired result.
In simple language, the President
traced what already had been ac-
complished during the seven months
of his national stewardship ard
what he hopes to do. His progr2m
calls for the following:
l. Restored commodity price lev
els.
2. Control of the gold value of
The domestic dollar.
3. Establish of a government
market for gold in the United
States.
To the proponents of immediate
Tevaluation Of the dollar, he said:
Some people are putting the cart
before the horse. They want a
permanent revaluation of the dol
lar first. 1t is the government
policy TO restore the price level
first. I would not know, and no
one else could tell, Just what the
permanent valuation of the dollar
will be. To guess at permanent
valuation now would certainly re-
quire later changes caused by later
facts"
Must Restore Price Level
When we have restored the price
level, we shall seek to establish
and maintain a dollar which will
not change its purchasing and debt
paying power during the succeed
ing generation.
Because of conditions in this
country and because of events be-
yond our control in other parts OF
the world, it becomes increasingly
important to develop and apply the
further measures which may be
necessary from time to time to
control the gold value of our own
dollar at home.
Our dollar is now altogether too
greatly influenced by the accidents
of international trade, by the in
ternal policies of other nations and
by the political disturbances in
other continents. The United States
must take control of the gold value
of our dollar. This is necessary in
order to prevent dollar disturban-
ces from switching us away from
out ultimate goal, namely, the con-
tinued recovery of our commodity
prices"

Moral Support There

Mr.. Cook informs us the
Legion understands the position
of the majors in view of the
economic stress and declares
that from the momentum given
the junior baseball activities
during the fatter years which
professional baseball enjoyed,
the kids sponsored by the various
posts in the land will be able
to carry on-at least tenn
porarily.
Thus it is planned during
the summer of 1888 to hold
eliminations as usual, pointing
for the jurior world series in
New orleans next August. The
winners of the junior title will
attend the world series in
October, when major league
baseball will be their hosts at
the games.
Russell Cook declares de-
spite the fact that the financial
support of the big leagues is
lacking this year to run the
junior eliminations, the moral
support of the majors is with
the juniors and that everywhere
parks and spare equipment will
be available to keep the boys
going.

Handy Target
He has a handy target in the

cast him off like an old wrapper
much to Johns silent chagrin.
John may also give his version Of
W as the matter with baseball,
which is simple enough. The
matter with baseball over recent
years is that there's too many in
it going around saying that there's
nothing the matter with base
ball.
1t also is suffering from a de-
gree of official SmugneSs and
piety, an objectionable thing be-
cause they strike at the funda-
mental principle of any amuse'
ment. Baseball officials are COM
mitted to pleasant, insipid rou-
tine on the ball field, but, above
all else, they insist upon peace,
quiet and orderliness.

They might do a whole lot
