The announeement of Wednesday that the Greencastle school board is making arrangements to open a night school here for the benefit of local ladies who desire instruction in domestic science is meeting with great favor, according to a statement of one of the school officials this morning. The opportunities that will be offered by such a school has been recognized and calls have been coming in all day from women who desire to enroll in the school. No tuition fee of any kind will be charged for the instruction as the greater part of t' c expense will be borne by the state under I he vocational education law passed last year. The school will he conducted in the domestic science rooms of the local high school and instruction in cooking will he given by Miss Mary ('amniack of the domestic science department of the high school, and in sewing by a lady competent in the work to be chosen later. Classes in each branch of work will be held twice each week and as only twenty members can be accommodated at once the limit of the enrollment will be eighty. The interest that has been taken :>y ladies in the beginning causes those in charge to believe that this numlter will be
reached.
Final arrangements for the Hallowe’en celebration which will be held in Greencastle were made by the committees in charge of the attraction at a meeting in the council chamber Wednesday evening. The minute details of the entertainment were thoroughly discussed and the arrangements will benefit the merchants of the town and yet be one of the most entertaining celebrations ever held in
this city.
A fall festival in which all the farmers may compete was one feature added to the big attraction. The merchants, who wish, will offer prizes for the best exhibition of some particular kind of farm product, displayed in the windows of the stores. Prizes in trade will be given, and farmers will take a great interest in this feature of the attraction. The fall festival several years ago was one of the bigI gest successes ever given by the busi- | ness men of Greencastle. Big dis- | plays of farm products adorned the I windows of practically every business room in town and the attraction was a
big success.
The farmers will be expected to bring their displays to the stores Friday and not later than 10 o’clock Sat-

The DePauw football team, barely recovered from ils bard struggle with Franklin on Mondyv, will leave Friday noon for Lake Forest, to do battle with the Illinois collegians. The game, coming as it does soon after Ihe Baptist game, has given the Methodist machine little opportunity to strengthen its weaknesses and the outcome of the struggle with the members of the Little Five is extremely problematical. Lake Forest has been defeated by Northwestern, 7 to 0, and it is only by Ihe Northwestern-Chi-engo-lndiana route that Coach Bogle has any line on the strength of Saturday’s opponents. The DePauw mentor said today that if his men displayed the tight that they did against Indiana they would win, but that a repetition of the form showed | in the Franklin game would spell
sure defeat.
A short, snappy signal drill and I practice in blocking, tackling, running | on punts and the kickoff constituted | the workout today in preparation for j Saturday’s fray. The DePauw squad j has three or four men on the hospital list with minor injuries and Bogle did not care to increase the number on the eve of the important contest. McKean field will be the scene Friday afternoon of a signal drill by the Northwestern university eleven. The Illinois Methodists will stop at Greencastle on their way to Bloomington for the annual setto with Coach Child’s aggregation.

Merchants are endorsing the movement as a strong one and are contributing liberally. An aeroplane Hight here in the afternoon was suggested by a number of the committeemen, hut as yet no definite arrangements have been made to promote this attraction.

ments will be completed.
