In the Economic class Virgil
Schurman gave an interesting re-
port on cattle, telling different types
of cattle and whether they are rails
ed for beef or dairy products. He
also told the class which countries
raise these two kinds. He ended
his talk with a trip through the
Swift and Company plant in South
st. Paul. He found that on the
average 80 gallons of milk were con-
sumed by each person In the Unit
ed States. In Canada, Uruguay,
Argentina, New Zealand and Aus
tralia the average amount Of meat
consumed by one person was 140
pounds. England, Germany and

amount per person. The United
States exports no meat, but has to
import some to meet the needs of
the people. India is the first in
the production of cattle and the
United States ranks second.
The tipping speed is beginning to
raise in Stenography I. The fol-
lowing have been able to type for
ten minutes with less than five en-
rors: Cleone Holler, Frances Ar
Wig, Mabel Gail Benson, Lucille
Botz, Jane Hall and Paul Kuefler.
Cleone Holler holds the speed rec
ord with so words and two errors.
The class has been reading short
hand and have been timed on their
daily lessons when reading for one
minute to check the speed in read
ing. Among those holding good
records are: Mabel Gail Benson,
Frances Arvig, Marcella Scanlon
and Leora Wilcox.
HEALTH
Miss Bone as usual, hasn't much
news to offer, but I'll try to make
the best of what there is.
Miss Bone has lined the wall of
her office with posters showing and
telling what not to do while Christ
mas shopping. Speaking of Christ
mas shopping the season will soon
be here.
The students of the school have
been weighed, at least they should
have, as it is the end of the second
six weeks. Starting the twenty.
ninth of November we will have
two days vacation for Thanksgiv-
ing. What a relief for our tired
minds.
Miss Bone also wants to warn
the students not to eat too much
on Thanksgiving, cause she doesn't
want them to spend their Thanks
giving vacation in bed with COM
mon "tummy ache"

HOME ECONOMICS
Dropped in the Home &c depart
ment and really for the last thing
in time saving and efficient equip.
ment just "mosey" around the new
addition up two flights and peep in
one of the first doors and if you
see a dark-haired pretty teacher at
a desk up front-there's the Home
&c. Department. New stoves, new
refrigerators, new tables, shining
chairs, a handsome fitting room,
lockers, and there is just every
thing you could think of wanting
for that division. 1t makes us all
wish we could take Home Ec. again.
But there's something new for all
of you who'd like to know more
about sewing. Miss Cary has start
ed evening classes for those inter
ested in sewing. For the time be-
ing there's an age limit, sixteen to
twenty-one. They had their first
meeting Tuesday in the Home &c.
rooms. So come on all of you gals,
just call the office or see Miss Cary
and they'll have you sewing in no
time. Remember, it's all for moth
ing.
