Perfect order then reigné and close attention is given to whatever ‘progarm has:been provided. The pro- gram is always interesting and profit- able. It falls naturally into two parts, Music and Addresses. The music is very often furnished by the students themselves tho oftimes we are fayored by local and out of town musical talent, The addresses come from many sources. Sometimes it is an old alumni with @ tale of the olden times, or again some business man with a practical lesson to bring, or again 1t may be ministers, visiting evangelists, lecturers, teachers, or out of town visitors. Anyone with a message is welcome and at our. last chapel, Miss Mabel Clark, one of the Freshmen girls, rendered a very de- lightful piano solo; which was followed by a very interesting talk on ‘‘Who is Man’”’ by Mr. Adams, the Leader of the Wichita Gospel team. Directly after this Jimmy Williams, Capt. of the But- ler High School Basket-ball team, made one of his famous ‘‘Maiden Speeches’’ in which he exhorted all students to come and see ‘‘Missouri beat Kansas’’ Friday night. Vergie McConnel, Hazel Ludwick, Mr. Jackson and Kev. Hanby were chapel visitors last week. We are glad the towspeople are taking interest in our chapels. We are always glad to have visitors. A rally meeting was held Friday morn- ing for the purpose of arousing enthu- siasm for the game against Pleasanton Friday night. Miss Smith had charge of the meeting and with the assistance of the yell leaders soon had the stud- ents enthusiastically singing Rah for the Butler teams, Butler teams, Butler teams, Rah for the Butler teams, Butler teams, Butler teams, Rah for the Butler teams, Butler teams, teams.

The English History test papers of last week were very good. A short business meeting of the Jun- ior class was held on Monday afternoon, Nov. 17. The Geometry students feel that they will soon be able to master any propo- sition in plane Geometry. They finish the book Christmas. After that they will take up a course in Advanced Al- gebra. ' The English classes have finished Lancelot and Elaine. cussing ‘‘Valence.’’ The girls still keep the lead by two per cent in the spelling class. The week’s average was 98 to 96 which is an increase of two per cent over any previous week. Those making 100 per cent each day were Florence Kelso, Martha Henry, Minnie Wiser and Earl Atcheson. = SOPHMORE NOTES. The Sophmores held a class meeting last Thursday evening and decided to go on an opossum hunt sometime in the near future. | Annabelle Thompson, Paul Snow, Paul Shelton and Josephine Simpson were put on a committee whose sole duty is to originate new Sopmore yells. FRESHMEN NOTES. Mrs. Hill gave the Freshmen the sur- prise of their life Wednesday in the form of a test. A test at the very be- ginning of the term! Now, who would have dreamed of such a thing? Alas! Alas! How many pitfalls await the ing to impress on the minds of the Freshmen the fact that the verb ‘‘to be’’ never takes an object. Some of Miss Grube’s former students tell us | her’s and that she even used to try to aid the impressment process by form- ing a sort of decorative border of ‘‘Th around the Latin headquarters.”’ class room doors open; out stream the Second Girls team, Mabel Clark; Treas- urer, Armond Duvall. . The Freshmen girls have been dili- gently practising Basket ball this week. Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday af- ternoons found them hard. at work at the hall, The coaches, Miss Snider and Prof. Coonrod both agree in saying that we have some very promising material we shall persevere. The Latin classes had a good old- fashioned spelling match Monday. A Surprise. Sunday the 9th day of November, along procession of buggies, car- riages and some afoot, could be seen winding their way toward the hospit- able home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Peters, living on the old Wilson farm at the head of Double Branches. Mr. Peters recently bought this place, moving in from Kansas, and this date being the 47th anniversary of his birth, the idea occured to some of neighbors that they would give him a surprise and and opportunity to get better acquainted. All came with baskets and boxes filled with the good things to eat. Mr. Peters con- fessed he was completely and agree- ably surprised. All were welcome and met with a broad smile and a feel at home. The Misses Irene El- lington, Anna Kipp and Pearl Thorp rendered some choice pieces of music on the piano and harp. We also had vocal music by the young folks pres- ent. company repaired to the tables where everything calculated to tickle the palate of an epicure. After a little speech by W. G. Mehaffy, voted the champion pie eater of the community and gave us a practical demonstration of that fact, with I. F. Ellington a close second. Lafe Cas- sity fully maintained his reputation for doing his part at the table.

If the same idea | was carried to hog raising it is quite ‘possible that we would hear less | about hog cholera. | When it is cold and wet outside a \little extra care should be taken to see 'that the calf pens are kept clean and dry. ‘about the manure spreader and that \js in case of a breakdown it means ‘no more manure hauling until the Among those present were the fol-| break isrepaired. Spreading manure | | with a fork after using a spreader is about like binding again by hand if! j the self binder should happen to be | out of repair. | In buying new machinery it is well) to have the idea of repairs and extra/ parts in mind because there is no ma-| ‘chine made that will not break down | some time and when itdoesthe repairs | are always wanted in a hurry. Some take it that a heavy fall of} snow early in the season is a sure indicator of a long stretch of fine _ weather to follow. This may be the case, but where there is work to do, | it is well to make use of the first part | of the stretch in hustling. The weath-| ‘er man changes his mind without ‘notice sometimes. The cheap alcohol that was to take ithe place of kerosene and gasoline | failed to get beyond the talking stage. \I have heard of talking whisky and of fighting whisky and was in hopes that |this “working” alcohol would prove} |to be of great value in spite of the bad | reputation of its relatives. | These long evenings are fine for | reading and thinking, also for visit- ing, if the weather is right. Perhaps ‘it is the visits to our neighbors that we fail to make that makes the farm seem so lonesome. The reports of record-breaking corn husking make rather interesting read- two good loads every day until the last ear is in the box that deserves ja week or more of bragging. | Mail carriers are very accomodating | fellows, but it is unreasonable to ex- | pect them to pick pennies out of the mail boxes after cold weather comes. Why is it that every man thinks his | scales are accurate and that his dog does none of the sheep killing? ‘Don’t tell me that a silo without aroof keeps as good as one with a | roof,” says a neighbor who has two silos, one with a roof and the other without. Last week he finished put- ting a roof on the one that was roof- less. The public now has a different feel- ing towards threshing rigs traveling the roads. Once upon a time, when a threshing rig broke down aculvert, the owner of the rig was blamed for it; now the people believe culverts should be made strongenough to hold up such traffic. ba It is a good time to have a_clean- up of all tools that may be scattered I have discovered one drawback | around the premises. Of course it is | hoped there is a place for everything jand everything in its own place, but “the Cleanliness is the first lesson that) 4 snow falling upon the average farm toastmaster,”” with responses from: must be learned by the dairyman, and | usually covers more or less that should others, we proceeded to do justice to |it must be learned so well that it be-! be covered by a roof instead. the “inner man.’’ Jud Isley was!comes a fixed habit to bring success: | A window full of blooming plants lends a cheer toa room through the , winter season, but I must say a good | deal of fuel is required to keep them |from chilling. They tell me coal is going to be higher and higher as the cold weather comes, and realizing that many folks must have it regard- less of price, no doubt the mine own- lers will see that the price does not | grow less. Grain is too valuable this year to be | hauled in a wagon box with a leaky |bottom. The price of a very few | bushels would buy an entirely new box. Iam wondering if the large farmer, | with agreat deal of heavy hauling, could not make profitable use of the | two to three ton truck. Heavy haul- ing on the roads is harder on the work teams than any other work they do, The litter of pigs coming into the world at this season of the year re- quires good shelter for the winter and good care and feed. I have hada few November and December litters to care for in years past. and my honest belief is that it does not pay to have them come at this season of the year. Merchants situated so they getsome farmer trade and some from towns- people, tell me their farmer trade is the creara, since the sales made are | almost invariably larger to the farm- er and the payment in cash or pro- duce, which is the same thing. The town man buys in small lots and us- ually pays at the end of the month. It is easy enough to become addict- ed to the habit of buying in small quantities. I am always surprised when in a store for any length of time to see how many well-to-do people buy such things as soap and matches in five and ten-cent quantities. One gains a box by buying matches by the quarter’s worth and a still greater per cent by buying soap in the 100-bar box. This is a poor time of the year to let cattle shrink. Letting an animal start to run down in condition now means mote feed later to maintain weight and condition. Good shelter also saves much feed. It is an abso- lute certainty that when an animal is made warm and comfortable with good shelter the feed required to main- tain the animal heat is not nearly so great. 7 List of Letters remaining uncalled for in the post office at Butler.
