An approximate ccut ot Uie sets, minus accessories was about nl.50 each. .. Cue. to the fact that'.iNorman. had,, access, to an old battery .set. his cost was about half tliakof Qene's. . The greatest task In making these sets, according to Gene. Is securing the. materials; . It takes a considerable length, .of time to assemble, ones rnni terlat- because -of -the small number of companies! tin the .United States that handle the necessary equipment for making such sets, that is, ma terial at comparatively-;low .price.

MISS WILLIAMS WRITES LETTER FROM ALASKA Miss Sartaln received a letter from Miss Florence Williams, who Is now teaching In Fairbanks. Alaska.- She tells ol many Interesting things. She sayatv "The trip- on. the 'train.- from Seward to Fairbanks was quite Inter esting. The most of. the country ,was flat with lota of birch trees and .marshland, however, it was frozen land there had been a light snow fall, We could eee Jtft, McKinley -most .of the way.-.

A tub of ;vaer" Is almost a brick red. The apartments all have running water but.lt Is not used for- cooking or drlnjUhfe. ;;The citizens- all say that this water. Isn't good because It contains . too much Iron,- but I heard since, f romf a re liable source that the water is im pure because it Is the Juice oi mas todons (an extinct quadripU resemb ling the elephant, tout larger I be lieve the latter story. It sounds more plausible than the iron - theory. We buy water for looking It. comes. In five gallon glass bottles, at . the rate of laV oenta. apiece- The .water we buy . comes from deep wells. ' During the cold weather It is interesting to see the water- wagon going; around with a smoking chimney. , - We get water just like you get ice at. home, put out a card -when the Jug Is empty. - It doesn't eem . que)f any more to have some one- knock on your, door and. a ik if they can borrow some water,.. . , "It has -been quite cold Jtere .most of -Xirne..ainc.Thariksg4Tl 85 end 40 below most, of the. time and 54 below -for about tliree daya running.- During .Christmas holidays It was very race. , only about eero and that give a spring-like feeling to the air here. Since I have been here the wind blew only one day and for about two hours.. If you erent out very long, at .one time you don't notice the cold, except when it . Is -40 or more below, you have a feeling that it wouldn't be well to take too deep a breath. It fe quite foggy when the temperature la low and and is dark all day. On December 31 the sun was out for 3 hours and 40 minutes but of course it wasn't light that long. The sun rise shortly after ten." It will be Interesting to not that Miss Williams teaches In the fartaest north high school In North America. Bob Helm: "What a beautiful view that isi" Farmer: "Maybe.. But If you had to plow that view, harrow lt.,cultU vaSe it, hoe It. mow it. feuce it, and pay taxes on It, It would look darned ornery." ;; Robert Lockwood: "Does the water always come through the roof like that?'

As many of the Class had not seen any court proceed ure before, it was highly Instructive and inter esting from a listener's standpoint. Mr Huffman teaches commercial law during the fourth period for the first semester. - ..;-...- ENGLISH CLASSES DRAW STAGE SETS Students in the English V classes under- Miss Palmer's instruction have had an. opportunity during the . last week to display their artistic ability.
