MR If SCHOOL NOTES
The Juniors and Soph mores had a
Joint party Friday evening. Every
one present represented some char
acter. Popular songs were sung,
ui.es played and refreshments
served. The party broke up about
1 1 o'clock and everyone reported
having had a tine time. ,
Ted Young started to school last
Tuesday as a member of the soph-
mor class.
The student body met last week to
vote on the question of having an
innual this year. It was voted to
have one. so everjbody will begin
working now to see that this is the
he-1 Hellish ever put out.
Last Wednesday evening the peo
ple of the Alpine and Strawberry
communities held a meeting and de
clared war on rabbits. The feeling
against these soft-footed pests was
pretty high and all that prevented a
lynching was the fact that none of
tho defendants had the nerve to ap
pear at their trial. Many of those
present favored law in deallg with
the bunch of wheat thieves but the
law abiding element prevailed, so a
systematic poisoning campaign was
i'll that was planned. Mr. C. D.
Morey was elected chairman of the
campaign and appointed Chas. Mell
ville. Ralph Finlay, J. W. Sibley and
Ralph corrigall as his assistants.
Pens will be built in carefully chsen
places and when a favorable time ar
rives poisoned alfalfa will be kept
out for the rabbits.
County Agricultural Agent Brown
was present and after utlinlng 1 lie
plans for the work of poisoning the
rabbits suggested that It was the
purpose of the Farm Bureau to trke
other problems In the same way.
There Is no question as to the re
sults where the farmers themselves
join forces and work together. An
Informal discission brought out the
fact that several were Interested In
better seed wheat and more and bet
ter stock on the farm.

DECLARE "XMAS" IS PROPER
Milwaukee (Wit.) Clergymen Say Ab
breviation Hat Origin In Greek
Spelling of "Christ."
Use of the word Xmns In nbbrevln
tlon of Christmas Is not Irreverent or
sacrilegious, but Is of undent and
classical origin.
"This was the consensus of opinion
expressed by representative clergy of
a number of denominations throughout
the city, says tho Milwaukee Sentl
rel. The letter "X" as used In connection
v lth the word Xmns to express Christ
ians Is the first letter In the (ireek
name for Christ, which In English let
ters Is spelled "Xrlstos," explained
Rev. Herbert C. Xoonan. S. J., presi
dent of Marquette university. "Be
cause of this, the letter "X" long hag
been a symbol for Christ, and bus
been used as such for generations
since the Christian era.
"An Illustration of the. common use
of the term Is the custom, still preva
lent among some men, of signing let
ters 'Yours In Xtn in this case the
'to' following the letter being the
Latin ending of the nnmo of Christ "
A similar opinion was expressed by
Iter. IL 8. Donaldson, pastor of Terse
verance Presbyterian church.
"I know many ministers who use
the letter 'X' to expres Christ In
writing their sermons," be said. "The
custom la of ancient and honorable
origin."
"It I a quite common practice among
theological students to ne the let
tor tn preference to the full name."
declared Hey. E. Reginald Williams,
rector of SL Murk's Episcopal church.
".' always write It that way myself."
Ite. W. T. iKirward. pastor of the
Haptlst Tabernacle, declared that be
did not consider the term Irreverent,
bot personally preferred tba dm of
the full word.
