Ou of 1 00,000 words used in personal and business letters the word “the’’ heads the list infrequency being used 6,93 3 times, according to a recent investigation. “And*’ comes next. “Mother” was used almost twice as frequently as "father” in these letters, and ‘‘good’’ was used eight times as often as "pretty.” Times are getting so bad in this country that the local car inspectors for th'e New York Central lines have received an increase in wages of $3 per month without their knowledge or solicitation. This raise, we understand, is general along the entire system. It does beat all how the country is going to the dogs under a Democratic administration.—Ex. Rev.

It is predicted that Wyoming will yet be one of the greatest oil -producing states in the union.—Fowler Tribune.

High School Notes.

The Domestic Science club of the city has donated for the use of' the domestic science department of the high school four dozen knives, forks, spoons, soup bowls, tumblers and plates. The high school carnival, which was held in the high school Saturday evening, was splendidly given. Considering the weather and the attendance it ’, was a successful one; Especially good were the Ford factory conducted . by Dahlel Guild and “The Wonders of the Sea,’’ conducted by Miss Leopold. The door re-, ceipts were over S6O and between $35 and s4o' was cleared. This money goes to the aid o. the Chaos. The Chaos frtaft have Kegun work on their book. The taking of pictures of the classes will begin in a wyekdr so. The staff hopes to have the book out at an early date. The sophomore German, class is now reading Baumbach's, “Der Schwiegersohn.” This week is the first week of the second six weeks -of the second semester., Thismeans that there are only twelve more weeks of school. The report cards for the first six weeks are to be given out Wednesday, ; The local basketball team will meet the Reynolds team here Thursday night. This in all probability will be the last game of the season. Come out and help the .team win'their last game; ■*’■■■ There will be a literary meeting at the high school Thursday afternoon. It is a joint society program and is on the music of Scandinavia. The program consists of the following: Interesting Phases of Scandinavian Music—-Robert Reeve. Scandinavian Musicians- Doris Morland. Gado (Sibelius). Binding. Ole Bull. Sibelius. Essay, “Jennie Lind” -Vera Healey. Piano solo, “Rustle of Sprihg"— Cornelia Leonard. "Angels Ever Bright and Fair,” Handel—Alice Thomas. Essay, “Edward Grieg’’—Paul Healy. Flower Song,” Noils Gade—Girls’ quartet. This program is a musical one and ' the public is most cordially invited. The senior themes are now being handed in. Last Friday a spelling match was held between the two agricultural botany classes. The words consisted of words that had been mlspelled by the two classes during the first semester. After having spelled these they took the spelling words which had been mlspelled in the grades. They were mainly from the fourth and fifth grades and a few of the words which were mlspelled are avaricious, cauliflower and oesophagus. A good deal of excitement, amusement and benefit w’as obtained by the match. Mr. Coe’s poultry department, which consists of a dozen hens, receives on an average eight to nine eggs daily. This department has made a splendid record all through the winter. The senior class held a meeting Monday evening and they are going to try and get Mr. Chic Jackson, the Indianapolis Star cartoonist, to come here and give an entertainment. I! he can be secured at not too great a cost the money which is derived from the entertainment will go to the aid of the Chaos. 1 .A:

Shrinking Skirt Popular

Heavy snowfalls this winter have made the shrinking skirt seem the only sensible thing, but when the

ordinary walking skirt shortens otp past the limit for bathing suit skirts, the authorities may be constrained to order the hanging of clothes on other limbs besides the hickory one. Other cities have taken up the agitation against th® display of feminine ankles, and It is likely to hit this town sooner or later. Some of the styles seen on Broadway are bad enough to cause domestic complications. The newest skirt is shorter by inches, all of which indicates that the wearera must have been left a leg-l-seo to purchase them, because the shorter , the dress the higher the cost. Jumbo squabs are beating the prodigal I sons to it. For the first time fatted 'calves are much in evidence.—New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.
