MAl)pN ,.,, SC00L C0DE Any system of rulw. governing the J action of a school maybe termed a code. A code Is a set of regulations and are regarded by students as a Ku(o A ttvAettVt work AurUxg ,)is school career is that of developing h'msclf Into a moreforceful and winning personality. Since tudents when leaving their school expect to take away with them the bei t the school has to give, they must be willing to tlrlve for not 'only the best for themselves by the school as well. The code as undentnnl by Mau pjn students lexpeVfses willingness to he kind, tolennnt, cnMnictive and not destructive. He understands he must be loyal, must believe In tho dignity and purpose of his nchool, must stand for a good name of hi school and his schoolmates, He must play the game hard and well, whether it be in athlectics or in his studies. He believes without question in clcaness of speech, of mind and person. T0 put into words whnt one already strives for in deeds is the purpose of this codc.- NEWS NOTES Several of the.

All is now serene in school circles at our neighboring town and things are ex pected to go along: peaceabl from now on. Chargvs are said to have been pre ferred against the principal, and hearing- were held at which both . idea were present. It is alleged that Principal Stephens took entire charge of things that should have been delegated to the student body, (hat he prohibited tht students to Indulge in holding dances and en tertainment; also that he had acted hi a manner inimical to the best In terests and advancmeent of the school. Stephen.-, admitted to The Times man that it was by his order that the Tygh schools were not re presented in our colunms, seeming to take a delight in our not geVng items from his school.

CHICKEN WILL BE SERVED Ladies in Charge of St. Dance ao State Patrick The ladies of tho Catholic Altar society, who fponsor the entertain ment), given by the church organiza tion, will again have charge of the St. Tatrirk's dance this yeir. In stead of holding the affair on March 17, as is the usual dnncc this year, the dance will be held on Saturday, March 15. The reason for this is tho fact that the 17th falls on Mon day and in order to give attendants sufficient timo for r full evening'c enjoyment, the earlier date was de cided on. A feature of the coming dance will be the. supper. Usually a gen eral spread of choice edibles filled th tables but this year chicken will be the principal dish. As the ladies of the society are known ns mo't competent cooks, they promise the best meal ever served nt one of their dances, ' , ' SERVICE IS TRUCK LINE MOTTO Splckerman Broi.

FARM OUTLOOK FOR YEAR 1830 Hogt PromUe Raise While Cattle j Prices May Decrease j 1 he bureau of agricultural econo mics, in cooperation with ' agricul tural colleges of 45 states, has is sued a report as to the outlook for 1930, from which the following sug gestins are taken: The domestic market may improve later in the year, but it is unlikely that the de mand for farm products in the sum mer and fall of 1930 will bt as good as during th last summer and fall. Hog prices are expected to average as high and possibly higher than in 1929. Cattle raisers are faced with 1 a downward trend in price? and nn j increase in herds. It is unlikely that the prices of sheep and lambs jenn be maintained at the high levels of the past few years. Thj present outlook for poultry and eggs does not justify any increase in produc tion of chickens over 1929, either for eggs or meat. . Moves Across River Ernest Kramer and wife will move to the-Lester Kelly . residence on the East side tomorrow, they having rented the lower floor and basement. Ernest has been living in the Wm. Beckwith residence, but thc return of those people to Mau pin made it imperative that their tencnts find other quarters, hence the move.
