The three fields of defamation, hui
morous, dramatic, and oratorical have
opened again. At present there are
twelve entries, among these the fresh
men being most numerous. Oppor-
tunity for entering, however, is still
open to any student wishing to par
ticipate in any division. The local
contest will be held some time after
Christmas and before February first.
The victors of this contest will 60 to
the sub-district contest. II a student
still is victorious he goes to the dis
trict contest and then to the state
contest. Indeed, it is a goal we'll
worth striving for. The work is of as
great value to the individual who does
not represent his school as to the one
who does. for the value does not lie
in honor alone.
The children's operetta, The Magic
Beanstalk, was attended by a large
and appreciative audience. The re-
ceipts were $500. which will he
used for something of value for the
school after expenses are deducted
The teachers are very much pleased
over the splendid attendance and the
absolutely perfect attention given the
performance.
Orchestra, Folk, and Tap Dancing.
The orchestra met for the first
time Monday, Nov. 26, at p. M,
in the music room. Next Monday
at p. m. the high school girls
who are interested, will meet in
the gymnasium for instruction in
tap and folk dancing. The grades one
to four will meet at 2:10 p. m. The
grades five to eight will meet at 1890
p. m. Miss Webb of Sandstone, is the
instructor. All instruction is paid for
by provision of the Federal Recreation
Act.
Assemblies.
Last Fridays program opened with
the singing of Thanksgiving song.
Ethel Hansen read poem suggesting
way to spend Thanksgiving day.
1.-The Story of Little Red" a play,
showed us the origin of the design on
the 1884 Christmas Seal. Harold Ser
ritslev played few selections on his
accordion. Elva Andersen read hui
morous selection entitled, "The Diary
of Stomach" We were sure the
stomach felt like the last rose of
summer" after the experience related
so we sang 1.-The Last Rose of Sum-
mer" to sympathize with it. The last
part of the hour we listened to station
KCHM, featuring the tournament from
Walter SCOTS "Ivanhoe." We all
realize how impossible it would have
been for the disinherited knight to
win if he had not eaten a large dish
of Wheaties for breakfast. This radio
program was sponsored by Kenneth
Cool and Harold Madsen.

New Belgian Cabinet.
After a week of hesitation and
futile attempts King Leopold of Bel
GUM has appointed former Premier
Georges Theunis head Of new gov
eminent succeeding that Of Count de
BrCcqueville which resigned a fort
night ago. Theunis has included in
his cabinet the two outstanding bust
ness men and financiers of Belgium,
namely, Camille Gut. as minister Of
finance, and Emile Francqui as min
lister of the treasury. Since the tasks
confronting the new government are
very largely economic. the fate of the
ministry, seems to hinge upon the
ability of, especially. these two men.
70 ar policy has not been revealed,
exceE that an official statement has
been issued to the effect that Belgium
does not contemplate abandoning the
gold standard.
President Cardenas.
Tomorrow General Lazaro Cardenas,
80 years old, will be inaugurated as
president of Mexico-a post to which
he was elected five months ago; he
succeeds President Abelardo R. Rod
riquez and will inherit from him the
knOtty problem of regulating the re-
lations between state and church.
Recently the Mexican government has
been once more conspicuously active
in its efforts to prevent clerical in
fluence upon politics, and Cardenas
is known to share the views of his
predecessor, viz, that the state must
remain immune from the influence
of the church-here, quite especially.
the Roman Catholic church.

The TRANSPORTATION
RATE CHAOS

T h 9 Federal government
through the Interstate G o ID
merce Commission. regulates the
rates charged by the railroads.
1t does this in the public interest
to prevent discrimination, aud tc
assure reasonable charges for
transportation OF goods and per
sons.
According to the Transporta
ton Conference of 1888. 81. whict
was attended by representatives
OF Is national organizations in
terested in one form or another oil
transport, the governments rate
jurisdiction should be extended
10 include common, contract and
anywbere-for hire interstate car
riers on highways and inland
waterways.
1t is the belief of the Conference
that all transport rates should
be fair and pondiscriminatory
should be pu blished, should be
adhered to with penalties for
violation, and should not be
changed without adequate notice
to the public.
That recommendation repre-
sents the view of not only the
railroads, but of responsible
highway and water carriers who
are as ANXIOUS "a anyone else to
eliminate the flv by nights in
their business. In certain parts
of the country, rate making BY
bus and truck companies has
been little short Of scandalous-
operators bave charged whatever
they wished to, and changed
schedules and charges daily if
they pleased.
Elimination of the rate chaos
now prevailing would go long
way toward solving the entire
transport problem.

ISABELLA GREeNWAY CONTlN.
UES FIGHT TO AID COPPER

Washington, May %. "A
group of congressman, including
Isabella Greenway. of Arizona
and other western represen-
tatives, have held meeting to
plan aid for the western mining
industry. According to arrange.
ments made with Secretary of
the Interior Ickes, these con.
gressmen explained their pro.
gram to r. A. Walters, first as.
sistant secretary of the Interior.
The plans of this congressional
group include government pur.
chase of surplus non.ferrous
metal stocks, establishment of q
central bureau of mines station
at Salt Lake City. and the com.
plete reorganization of t b g
bureau Of mines.
Cooperation with the War De.
partment is provided in this plan
such that the department would
purchase copper, lead, IN n
ganese and other metals used for
war and ammunition purposes.
The reorganized bureau o f
mi1es would render to the min.
ing Industry services similar to
those given agriculture by the
agriculture department.
This group will support the bill
introduced by Senator Kiog of
Utah tor the establishment of q
central sta tion of the bureau of
mines at Salt Lake City. It ia
expected that this bill will be-
given an early hearing in the
house. It has already passed
the senate
