divided into five squads, each un
der a captain who was one of the
five receiving the highest mark
in the examination. The duties
of the captains are to assist the

in blackboard work. The stu
dents have taken a lively interest
in the scheme from the start and
competition was keen for the po

The TimeB-Herald learns that
the electric lights are to be shut
down today indefinitely. It
seems tho Mill Company has
raised the price for power to a
figure that the light people can
not run them with any profit,
hence they suspend. It is very
inconvenient for the people of
the town not to have electric
lights in the business houses,
homes, churches, the streets
dark and altogether present
gloom. There should be an off ort
made to get iermancnt lights
and at rates that will be equitable.
