Miss Peters Mr. Lobdell Mrs. Lobdell - - Mr. Mason Mrs. Mason - - Miss Judd Mr. D. S. Turner - - LOCAL Brave and honest men do not work for gold. work for love, for honor, for character. They The men who sell themselves are slaves; their buy ers are dishonest and unprincipled. Freedom has its humbugs! His integrity was proof against danger and corrup tion. Against threats and bribes, pride is the ally of principle. The ignorant and careless are at the mercy of the unprincipled; and the ignorant are as yet greatly in the majority. The best benefactors of the race have been poor men, among the Israelites, among the Greeks, and among the Romans. There are men who can be bought. There are rogues innumerable, who are ready to sell their bodies and souls for money and drink. Among the North American Indians a wish for wealth is considered unworthy of a brave man—so that the chief is often the poorest of his tribe. Sense has ever centered in the few. Votes should be weighed, not counted. That state must sooner or later go to ruin where numbers sway and ignorance decides. Labor shuts up the first avenues to dishonesty; it opens a broader field for the display of every talent; and inspires with a new vigor the performance of every sociaLandxreligious duty. The police courts too often reveal the stealing and swindling of men in whom confidence has been placed; and the result is that they are dragged down from confidence to ruin. It is the trustworthy character that is mostjwanted.il> Character is reliableness; con vincing other [men by your acts that you can be trusted. Floyd Miller and Herman Goudy have been recom mended for “merits” for their good work and relia bility on the farm; Louis Parazoo and Florence M. Wells for excellence in library work. At a recent meeting of the seventh grade class the following officers were elected: President, Donald Brown; vice-pre>ident, Pearl Cultee; secretary, Maurice Alexander; treasurer, Wilbur Pepion; sergeant-at- arms, Louise Adams. The ninth grade girls enjoyed a dinner last Thurs day evening with Theresa McLeod and Mattie Ricker as hostesses. The guests were Miss Durkes, Miss Semanski, Mrs. Peacher, Mrs. Herlitsand Miss Went zel. It was in every way a delightful affair. At a recent meeting of the senior class steps were taken with a view to the publication of the next “annual.” The following students were elected as the publishing staff: Editor-in-chief, Pat Kelly; asso ciate editor, Harold Masten; business manager, Fred Sandberg; assistant business manager, Armenia Plouffe; assistant editor, Warren Wilder; class proph ecy, Frank Johnson and Edith Doore; class will, Chas. Motshman and Serena Twiggs; historian, Herman Goudy. During chapel last Sunday evening Supt. Lipps in troduced Dr. E. Blanche Sterling of the U. S. Public Health Service, who made a most interesting talk on her mission here and of the government’s undertak ings for the betterment of the health of our people. It was an enlightening talk and the speaker was given splendid attention. Supt. Lipps followed the Doctor and took for his main theme the franchise of Indian people, its value to them, and their places in the affairs of our country. During the evening Victor Smith sang a number, there was a selection by the choir in which the solo part was carried by Mabel Halsey, and the orchestra played an overture. Mr. Teter, who is in charge of our Holstein dairy herd, gives some interesting figures on our milch cows. An up-to-date Babcock tester was recently installed at the dairy and a careful record is kept of the butter fat produced by each individual cow. The average for Holsteins is 3.3, and our herd is making 3.7, which fact speaks volumes. We have one cow whose average is 5.4, which record will make many of the Jersey cows keep busy to beat. One of our cows is giving practically six gallons of milk a day. The av erage for the herd of 24 milch cows is 95 gallons of milk per day, which is an average of almost 4 gallons per cow per day. The above is certainly a most grat ifying report.
