Every girl in the school will have an opportunity to meet Mrs. Pickell, Mrs. Newlon and the new members of the faculty at the party given by the Girls' Club, Thursday, September 27. A good time for everyone is anticipated. A program in the library will be followed by games in .426.This year the club as a whole is not carrying on a contest for membership. Instead the campaign is to be personal.
A special war committee of the Girls' Club co-operates with all branches of the Red Cross. Under these auspices the club made seventyfive comfort kits this summer.

Student Council
The purpose of the student council is to get more co-operation between the students and faculty and to en: courage democracy in the high school. Last year it originated many .valuable things, such as the matinee dances and the - competition between the classes in selling season tickets.
The council has a membership of twenty-two, ten boys and tei1 girls who are elected by the school and the football captain anc1 editor of The Ad· vocate.
Home Room Representatives
The Home Room Representative body offers a means by 'which the Student Council communicates with the student body. A Home Room · is elect e d from each home room with a ,"pecial allotment '_of nine to the senior home room· bet:ause of its size.

SCHOOl CITIZENSHIP
(Ethel Joy, Bailey)
In order to have a clear definition of school citizenship p. comparison should be made between a school citizen and a citizen in the customary interpretation.
· A city has its mayor, its officials and its citizens. A school has its prin· cipal, its faculty and its students.
Just •as the duties of a mayor-- are to direct the actions and procedures of his officials and thru them the citizens, so the duties of a principal are to direct the faculty, and thru them the students, The object of each of the institution is to bring about an organized, well controlled, efficient and socially beneficiitl body.

BOOST H. S. PAPER UN ADVOCATE DAY
on Wednesday Held for the Purpose of Encouraging Subscriptions.
"Subscribe for the Advocate"
was the topic used by four speakers in Tuesday's assembly, September 25. Tuesday was Advocate day, and an assembly was held to boost subscriptions.
The program opened with a violin solo by Leland Woods, '21. Miss Katherine Brenke, editor of the Advocate, then told how the staff and reporters were chosen. The managing editor, Winfred Carlson, gave a sho1·t boost for subscriptions, ending his talk with the following jingle: "If you do not )like the Advocate jokes, And their dryness makes you groan, Just stroll around occasionally, With a new one of your own !
Dr. A. L. Bixby, who has been on the staff of the State Journal for twentyfive years, spoke on journalism and reporting for a half an hour. He complimented the students on their paper and said that the make-up of the first issue was the prettiest he had ever seen. Following this he asked for support from those not on the staff. A poem completed his speech.
Mr. H. G. Hewitt, financial advisor, then urged that the advertisers be patronized by the subscribers. He believed that the staff was composed of one-third big feet, to be used to run down advertisers.
Subscriptions were taken in the sixth period classes.

Oz Black, editor-in-chief of the Advocate, sends the following to Winfred Carlson, of the Advocate:
Dear Winnie: Dighton, Kansas, Sept. 27, 1917.
Good for the Ad vocate! I just received the first copy from home and was interested in the staff and general makeup. The old sheet certainly looks good. Good luck to you and the editor and reporters and advisory board.
I want to show you a copy of the Hutchinson Gazette when I get back. The makeup and type is nearly exactly like The Advocate. So long, OZ BLACK.

AN INTERESTING VACATION
SARAH T. MU IR
Why should the women of New York be working for suffrage when our country is at war?" This was the question which a gentleman asked me just as I was leaving home in June to begin my ten weeks' campaign for the New York state suffrage party. From time to time after I reached New York I heard the same question. My · answer was this: In the first place long before our country entered the war, two sessions of the New York state legislature had passed the bill which said that the woman suffrage amendment should be submitted to the voters of New York on November 6, 1917. Therefore, war or no war, the amendment would be voted upon. In the second place, suffrage is not an amusement or a luxury to be cast aside like other amusements or luxuries when war demands. Suffrage is a means of making women better citi· zens, and when does a country stand in greater need of good citizenship than it does in time of war? tended in Toronto, and for that mat- f .

EXCURSIONS MISS ANDERSON'S CLASSES STUDY NATURE
Miss Anderson's three botany class· es went for their first excursion last Friday. Altho not a long trip, it was interesting and much enjoyed by the students. The chief object of the trip was to learn to identify trees found common· ly in Llncoln. The classes learned to identify the trees by the leaves in summer and by the bark in winter. The trees studied were all found on J street between Twentieth and Twenty-second.
Miss Anderson says that excursions will be planned whenever the classeil take up work that can be done outside, if the weather holds good.
A lady just back from Europe said to her friends with enthusiasm, that of all the wonderful things she had seen and heard, she believed the thing she enoyed most of all was hearing the French peasants sing the "Mayonnaise."-Ex.

hal.f hour snatched from the. workers'· busy lives One evening I spoke at a municipal flag-raising, at a little town on the St. Lawrence. The splendid river flowed by in plain sight of the vmage green with its new flag pole. A group of old soldiers who were presenting the flag stood revenertly with bared heads as the splendid flag was hauled up. Beside theni, a small squad of. our new army, khaki clad, stood at attntion. As tl).e flag caught the breeze, and the throng of people with one voice burst forth into the strains of "America," I felt more than ever before what our flag means. As I stood there waiting to begin my speech, I wondered why it needed telling .that the women of America love that flag and are fighting for it, and always hiwe for it, by· side with their husbands, their brothers, their sons. That flag calls to the women to do their part, and the women have always re• sponded. They are answering the call today. Look at Europe. Three million women in the warring countries are doing war work outside the home. And why?. They .have answered the call of the flag. When will the women be given a voice in that. government which they are glad to serve? Toward the close of my stay, as SUBSCRIPTIONS NEARLY EVEN our party was driving along a beautiful road on our way to an evening meeting, we came unexpectedly upon an encampment of soldiers; Iri .a second. I had Jooli:ed at· my. watch and calculated that we· could spare a few minutes for a ·speech. We secured permission from the commanding officer, and in five minutes had several hundred soldiers sitting on the ground listening to suffrage arguments. Perhaps they were at loss for entertainment. ·At any rate, they seemed· to like the speech and were reluctant to have us go. As I tal'ked to that small ·group representing our· great· army, saw the. strongest. possible argument for the woman's vote in time of war. Only by the action of law can all' the war of men and women be made effective. The only sure way to safecguard our boys in camps, on the seas, in the trenches,. is by the

But Lincoln fights. The team has shown some improvement during the last week.
During one entire afternoon the fond mother of a small boy who was just learning to talk, tried to teach him a new expression as a surprise to his father on his return home.

Pat and Mike, "in their light fall suits," had a great creal to do with the spirit of the assembly. Speakers vied with one another in using famous Irish stories for illustrations.
Music by the band was the first number on the program. The new song, which has a peculiar swing to it that fascinates the listener, was introduced by Mr. Ferguson. It is copied from the song that put Perdue on the map in the football world.

To the Editor: Lots of people have BOOST for their slogan, a few have KNOCK, and a great many have nothing at all, which Is a great deal worse. Doorbells are used everywhere now.
This means plainly speaking, t_hat the knocker has gone out of fashiOn.
But have you noticed that there are few enough of these in the world to attract attention wherever they are seen?
This is exactlY the way with some people. I would a great deal rather hear a good knocker than a poor booster. A bad man of strong character is more to he admired than a good man of the "wishy-washy" type.
Indifference is an inexcusable sin. It is classed with all of the other undesirables; procrastination, hypocrisy, good intentions-it is said that the way to a very undesirable place Is paved with good Intentions-and all of the other things a good booster avoids

The cost ol' a party must not exceed $1.00 per member participating.
C!nf\iPty must have at least five serious pro· grams each semester. Each society meeting weekly must have twelve se· rious programs each semester. All formal parties must be chaper· oned by at least two teachers and two parents. The sponsor of a society or class must approve of the chaperons for a party at 'least five days prior to the party.
The books of all treasurers of societies, or classes, or other student organizations, must show all expenses of the organizations, whatsoever. All treasurers' books must be audited semi-annually by an auditor appointed by the principal.
The secretary of each society or class must report in writing at the end of each semester to the principal, or to some student committee which may be constituted for that purpose , upon the activities of the societies during the semester. This secretary's report must show the programs as actually given in the meetings.
The society and not the sponsors of a society will be held responsible for the enforcement of these rules. The sponsors will not be expected to do the work of the society. It will be their function to advise and help the society to the best of their ability whenever the societies ask for such assistance. Except in cases of emer· gency the sponsors will not be expected to exercise any repressive powers. Later in the year the sponsors and presidents of the girls' societies met to discuss matters concerning pledg· ing and rushing and came to thP following conclusions: "Rushing" shall be abandoned permanently, beginning with the above dat e The members of the societies shall become acquainted with probable members in a normal way i. e. in the ordinary intercourse of the school.
An inter-society council, composed of the presidents of the eight literary societies has been organized this semester under the supervision of Miss Pound.
This council will discuss problems confronting all of the societies and ways and means by which the societies may work together for the good of the school. Undemocratic conditions existing in the cafeteria were dis· cussed at the first meeting held last Thursday. Hereafter, in so far as they are able, society members will endeavor to make every one feel at home in thP cafeteria.

The students and faculty of Manual subscribed for $89,900 worth of liberty bonds. The faculty subscribed for $10,150 of this amount 1 and the students $79,750. This is one more case in which Manual Arts has set an example for Lincoln High to follow.
More than one hundred dollars was recently subscribed by the students of East St. Louis high school to get Christmas boxes for soldiers in France Altho the total is so high the largest individual contribution was only one dollar and fifty cents.

ORCHESTRA
This week the members of the orchestra are overjoyed because of the fact that a petition recently circulated by some of the members broughr results. The petition told of the fact that the orehestra is not up to its usual standard and the reasons thereof. It gave, as a remedy, the suggestion that some lighter music be tak e n up. This petition was considered by the "man higher up" and as a result the orchestra is now playing some delightful "lighter music." This is music that the musicians can do better justice to than they could to the pieces that have been played up to this time. The orchestra will appear soon in assembly and it is sincerely hoped that it will rapidly grow in popularity.

CAMOUFLAGE IN L. H. S.
Camouflage may well be called the art of fixing up a thing for the purpose I of deceiving. War is full of camouflage. The Italian soldiers in the Alps wear white suits so they cannot be seen moving along the snowy mountains. Machine guns are often covered with brush so that they look like a work of nature, and whole trains are made to resemble a hedge. There are examples of camouflage in high school.
A student is taking an examination and in the course of the hour he comes to a word having both "i" and "u" in it. After puzzling over which should come first, she happens upon an idea and makes three little marks just alike I with the same amount of space between them and places a lot at a dis1 tance above the midde one. In this way the teacher cannot tell which is 1 'T' and which is "u" and has to give him the be nefit of the doubt.
A boy, being called upon to read his answer to the mathematics problem from his paper, glances at his neighbor's answer, then stands up and reads it to the teacher from a perfectly blank piece of paper. But when he is

STUDENTS CONSERVE SUGAR
Students of the Rochester High school of Rochester, Minn., have signed the following pledge:
We, the students of the Rochester High school, do hereby resolve that we shall refrain from eating candy six days in the week. The seventh day having been decided upon as Friday, shall be "Candy Day." Then we shall eat candy moderately. This we do to further the conservation of sugar in the United States.
Red Cross expects to be able to furnish one of the little amusement mak-
(The Crucible, Rochester, Minn.) with each kit sent to the men. The checkerboard idea marks a new epo ch in Red Cross work. Heretofore only the barest necessities were supplied, such as bandages, sweater sets, and the like, but now the society has come to the realization that entertainment in some form is even more necessary to the man in training than to his civilian brother, and has set about supplying it. The manual art department was the fortunate section chosen for the work. Trained to accuracy in their handwork, thest students are turning out articles I of which any in the world might feel proud.

In a large city store, a customer came in and asked a clerk for certain merchandise. "I want 'Paul Maul,' " he said.
"'Paul Maul'? Yes, sir; we have it,' ' answered the clerk promptly, and the desired goods was brought out and another sale made.
A little while later another customer came along and asked for the same goods. "I want 'Pal Mal,' " he said.
"Certainly, sir. We have 'Pal Mal,' " responded the clerk, and made another sale
In five minutes more, "Have you 'Pel Mel!'?" asked a third customer.
"'Pel Mell'? Yes, sir," was the answer, and a third sale was made
An observer, who had been standing by, waited till the third customer had gone, and asked the clerk:
"How do you pronounce 'P-a-l-1 M-a-1-1 ,' anyway?"
"I pronounce it," said the clerk, with a friendly smile, "exactly as the customer pronounces it "
That clerk was an asset to the store He had instinctive adaptability. He was like the great lady who dropped her own priceless tea cup because an awkward guest had dropped his and was in agonies of embarrassment over it. Adaptability in I high and low, is a quality which comes from attention to others and continual study of surrounding conditions
To succeed, a person must have the ability to adapt himself to the surrounding conditions and to other persons. Even in plant life we find that to live, a plant must adapt itself to its surrounding conditions. Take for instance a plant found growing in a salt marsh.
The stem of the plant is long and spindly. The whole plant has a yellow color The salt and alkali in the su,,rrounding water qinder osmosis; so to live, the plant produces only a small amount of leaf surface, thus reducing the amount of transpiration and enabling the plant to keep the small amount of water that it is able to receive.

The judges will pick six speakers and two alternates. For the first time in three years no girls will try out for the team. Five started out with the squad, but for one reason and another. they all dropped out. The boys who will try out are: Evar Anderson Carl Henkelman Joy Berquist Melvin Hesselberg Wendell Berge Earl Halverstadt Knox Burnett Dawson Gilbert Winfred Carlson Clarence Kositzky Fred Campbell Robert McArthur Charles Clayton Lloyd Mitchell
Robert Craig Cecil Terwilliger Louis Finkelstein Wallace Waite Melvin Hesselberg gave a short talk on military training in the high schools of Canada, to the debating squad last Monday afternoon. Hesselberg comes from Toronto, Can., where the boys are given military training. His speech was especially timely because the squad is working on the same question now On Tuesday Prof. H. W. Caldwell will talk to the squad against military drill. Earl Jeffrey, cadet colonel at the university, will speak in favor of it. l'.. Hewitt t"!JP

DOROTHY BARKLEY RECEIVES NEWS FROM FRENCH BOY
Dear Miss Dorothy: I received your charming letter with pleasure, for I am always very pleased when I receive a letter from you. My little sister Suzanne did not receive the letter from your sister Olivia. We have been very pleased, in France that the United States have put themselves by our side in order to overcome the military "bocbes," and to help us to liberate our poor country invaded for such a long three years, here all is very dear, but because of the coal we have none to use and here one has a great fear for next winter.
I am going to take my first examination the 21st of June, here they call that the certificate of study, I do not know if I will suc· ceed, for the custom for this examination is to take it when one has 13 years, and I only have 12. The 8th of July I will make my first communion, perhaps you know that in France it is a big fete of the family, everyone reunites but at our house the fete will be sad for my little father will not be here.
I send to you in my letter a cardboard medal which they were selling today in the streets for the help of the army from Africa, the receipt ought to be profitable for everybody had this decoration on his breast
I received yesterday your Journal and thank you for it, in looking through it I came to see our photo· graphs, I have a little comrade who knows English. I am going to make him translate the article. I hope to receive soon your news and I send you my good affections. Your little friend, ROBERT PEROVANO, 7 Rue Letort, Paris III, France.

Dear Advocate:
Just a few lines to say "hello."
When I was in Lincoln recently, I visited the high school and, of course, dropped into the editorial room of the Advocate. It was during the third period, and no one was in the room, so I made myself at home by reading the exchanges. It certainly did feel fine to be back there, if only for a short time.
I must congratulate you for that idea of printing the addresses of the fellows who have gone to war It bas helped me locate lots of the boys. (I might add that my address is "Base Hospital, Camp Sherman, Ohio," not Iowa )
Your "Better English Week" seems to have been appreciated by many people in Lincoln, as I heard some parents remarking that their sons had taken it very seriously.
Letters take lots of room in a column so I'll make tl'5s as short as possible Wishing tile students and faculty a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I am, as ever, Your friend, \V ALTER GARDNER.
coin High came down last Friday to give the members of the basketball squade some practice. The alumni players showed some of their old form and outplayed the squad members during the first half.
The squad members gathered them· selves together du, ing the second half and, with the aid of Captain Cyreanson, held the alumni and outscored them. The squad has some material that looks good and with hard work in practice and team work should produce a fine team.

Probably the largest crowd in the history of class plays attended the junior play, "Quality Street," at the high school auditorium, last Friday evening. The house was entirely sold out, making a record surpassing that of previous entertainments. The cost · showed the result of a month of hard rehearsing under the Rice.
In the role of Miss Phoebe Throssel, Idanha Kiefer showed unusual dramatic ability. The powerful scene in the latter part of the second act was especially well played. After Miss Kiefer had finished this touching part, the audience was silent for a moment, and then sighs and "wasn't that great" could be heard throughout the auditorium.
Melvin Hesselberg, as Mr. Valentine Brown, handled his part in a very successful manner. His rich voice and charming manner won favor immediately. Ada Bemis, taking the part of Miss Susan Throssel, also did creditable work, with a big part. A big part of the success of the play was due to the coaching of Miss IRice. For a month and a half Miss Rice has been working hard for the I juniors, nearly every afternoon after school. Her willingness to help and her knowledge of dramatics, proved to be the 1arge factor in the production of the -play. Miss Kunkel and Miss Putney, sponsors of the elas;:;, have 1 .;(, It was felt, by members of a classes, that this was about the be& production ever staged. This is prol ably due to the military setting ant also to the natural ability of the char acters in the cast. The program: "QUALITY STREET"

CHEMISTRY CLUB
:Professor Upson spoke at Chemistry Club Thursday on "The· Relation of Chemistry to the War " He said that the winning of the war was largely dependent upon chemists, in as much as the side which has a plentiful supply of explosives, is the more likely to have a pl e ntiful supply of victims. He mentioneu the explosives being used in this war, and ex- ' plained that smokeless explosives are used in the big guns that send the shells, and explosives which form a dense smoke in the shells themselves. This makes it impossible for the enemy to see where the shells come from, while it permits the gunner to see where the llhells hit. I PERSONALS

The Sioux City toam was unable to break thru the Lincoln defense in the second period fc)r so much as single score. Lincoln faced Sioux City with a new line-up. Richards' place at guard was filled bY Captain "Cyp" and Jungmeyer, the six-foot forward, was shift· ed to guard in place of Lamb, who was laid off with the grippe. Chesney and Gish held down the forward positions, while Munn appeared in the pivot position. Girard and Holland were used in the second hald and in the last few minutes of play John Wynkoop, the midget flipper, flashed around in a very creditable manner When the final whistle blew, the score stood 19 to 8 for Lincoln.

BEACH COMBINGS
Have you ever been out on the prairie at night and have walked and walked, just for the fun of walking?
Have you ever lain down on some cool gr ass y bank and stre tched out at your full leng t h on your back and watched for shooting stars? If you h ave, did you ev er stop to think abdut the relati o n tha t exists between our earth and the sun, mo o n and stars? Go back to that time, and think. Can you conceive of any e nd to things when you re alize that beyond the farthest star that you can se e, some billions of miles away there i s another just as far,. and that beyond that there is another, an d beyond that, another, and :.:nother, and another, ind efi nitely, ·without beginning or end of time or space? And that nit is the same on all sides of the world? To me there is no end. I can conceive of thousands of earths in all stages of evolution, some in the beginning, some like ours, and some incomparably in advance of ours.
As you think of the vast endless size of the Universe and compare it with the world, don't you feel weak and small? Don't you feel like a microscopic speck crawling weakly on a microscopic clod? Don't petty troubles and squabbles seem small and insignificant? But. if this world is an atom amid the vastness, it is our world, and we have to live on it. So it is up to us to cherish it. Therefore let us forget our petty worries and put our shoulders together with the next man's and help to make this atom better

Mr. Pickell then read President Wil· son's war message, a message which .will go down as one of the greatest in history. At the opening of the assembly, Dwight Williams, Stanley Hall, and the flag committee, composed of Katheryn Young, chairman, Beatrice Colburn and Lane Hildreth, were on the stage. Mr. Williams introduced the· Reverend Dr. Gratz, of St. Paul's Methodist church, as the speaker of the. morning. He gave an interesting patriotic address.

_Have Lincoln High school students any sense of respect? ·To a stranger who had been in the assembly last week the answer would obviously be "No." Here was a university professor giving his time and energy I for the benefit of our students and many of them did not listen to a word he said.
All over the lower floor were groups engaged in conversation from the minute they came in until they left, and the confusion resulting from it was such that persons sitting more than half ·way back were unable to hear the speaker on account of it. Besides the talking there was a great deal of coughing, much of which was avoidable
After the assembly, students and eachers alike, commented severely upon the disorder that had prevailed. A <able fact was that the majority .,'>.1 ,tu dents who were causes of the"lisorder were not freGhmen.
In the aforesaid assembly, il\lr. Persinger, a well knowi1 university professor, favored us by an illustrated lecture on South America. His intro· ductory brief was simHar to thiS:. "I would not attempt to conduct this lecture before such a large audience, had I not Jived for a number of years among South American: Indians." Perhaps the students conducted that musical barking ( ?) and confused whispering, mingled with an occasional war whooop, only to make tlle speaker seem at home, but, students, it seems that we should cut out this behavior, and cease to imitate South American Indians.. Don't forget the courtesies you owe to those assisting you. Just remember that Lincoln High School must continue to maintain a standard above any other in the state, and that the loftiness of this standard rests with you.

RED CROSS'
The success of Red Cross service in Lincoln high has been assured by the start we have made. Last week there was an average attendance of fortyfive at every meeting. The total amount of work turned in was 3,743 2x2-inch wipes and 160 3x6-inch compresses. The captains feel that this is good, but that we could have more girls and do even more for our Lincoln chapter. Other high schools all over the country are doing Red Cross work and we want Lincoln High to stand first in patriotic service. A meeting of the execptive committee was held Thursday morning to discuss the distribution of Red Cross pledge cards. A program is being planned for a Red Cross assembly to

Once upon a time a very enlightened songster, whose name I do not remember, composed an engaging little ditty, entitled, "Oh, it's nice to get up in the morning, but it's nicer to lie in bed." What do yoii think about it?
Did you ever creep up to your little bed-room after a hard tussle with algebra, toss off your clothes, open the windows, and slide into bed, so tired that you're instantly, in spite of the cold sheets? Then when it seems as if your head bas just touched the pillows, your dad opens the door, turns on the lights, and sings out, "Wake up son, it's 7 o'clock. You manage to open one eye and grunt, "Uh huh," and heave a sigh and watch it turn white, and you wonder how much it snowed during the night, and about then you begin to realize that your nose is cold, so I you give the comforts a hitch to co·ver up your head, but not qufck I enough, for the snow drifts on them. land suddenly in your neck- and begins to melt and run down your I back.

To the Editor of the Advocate: Anything that causes friction makes news. The friction in the halls is becoming worse especially in the two week3, than it has been for a long time. If we don't look out, the frlctbn will be so great that it will make news which will get outside of the school. The conduct and noise in the halls is the one thing that causes ·comment when visitors come to this school. · When a person is going down the hall during intermission and he meets a barrier of ten or fifteen girls, he almost has to turn around and go back because there is no way to climb over, through, or under this barrier.
But the everlastin' team work Of every bloomin' soul."
Kipling has. expressed in the foregoing lines the key to victories in other things beside war. One thing that Lincoln High needs in order to make it the best school is "the everlasting team work of every bloomin' soul" in the attempt to maJre our halls, when filled with students, appear to be the pi:omenades of well educated, sen· sible persons. From the mad rushing and sliding on our polished 1loors one would think the students considered them skating rinks. The shrieks of some girl who has been rudely jostled or pulled about rings forth above the babel of voices one hears during the fifteen minute period and between classes. It isn't that we mean to appear roudish; its only that we don't use our brains between classes. Please, everybody, let's try to im· prove. Yours truly, BELLE FARMAN.

BEACH COMBINGS
Spring is surely on the way. Her first hardy messeng ers ·have come. A bluebird greeted me with its cheery warble, as it flitted about like a: bit of blue· sky and rosy dawn, celebrating its arrival. A long line of Canadian geese beat slowly northward , a mile · in the air, talking confidentally to thems elves. A small bunch of ma:llard, flying lower and much faster, streaked across the crimson tinted clouds. Everywhere nature is stirring, preparing to gre et her. A noisy flicker drums loudly on a hollow cottonwood stub and long-silent echoes with his peals of wickering laughter, as , he vehemently proclaims eternal war on all Lepidoptera· and Articulata. (Look 'em up.) At measured intervals a deep booming rumbles thunderously from the direction of the river, where men are laboring, allied with mighty power, to save the great bridges from the clutches of the rising tide of ice water. Winter will continue to make his stormy raids, but he has fought a decisive battle and lost. Never more can he get a· firm foothold until he withdraws to recuperate his forces for the fall dr ive. Meanwhile let us work together, that when that fall drive comes, there will be -:mly it to face and not another, more terrible and destructive

ALWAYS SOME OTHER WAY
Yes, it was cold. The mercury had 'dropped suddenly from ten below zero to thirty-six, and as Wells came swinging over the hills in his sled he noticed how frozen everything looked, all the trees looked like sentinels agaim1t the gray sky, and the tiny huts seemed ihounds of dirt on the clear bright snow.
"Get up," he again yelled to his dogs, and began to sing, "Oh, this is the life for me."
Wells was happy, for wasn't he head engineer of a big railroad system that was coming into the southern part of Alaska? He was now going to a halfbreed's house to secure the last contract for the right-of-way, so the tracks could be built that would carry the big roaring giant which brought civili· zation with it .into the far north.
He was greeted at the half-breed's door by his daughter, Whynette.
"May I see your father?" he asked.
"He be in the other room," she replied, pointing towards a door that seemed to lead into the eating quarters, the way the smoke came ·pouring out.
· When Wells entered, he found the old fellow seated on a pile of blankets smoking. After the preliminary greetings with the pipe were over Wells asked good naturedly:
"Have you heard of the ,railroad that is coming up here?''
, He was rewarded with a grunt.
"Won't that be fine?" again began Wells · "Me no like it," replied the half· breed.
, "But why?" argued Wells.
"Take all me land."
"Oh, no, it won't. All I want is just your consent that tracks can be laid thru part of it, and the company will pay you well for that privilege."
"Me no want company s money. Me won'.t .}et train go thru larid," cried the old fellow with rising anger.

Lincoln High School's t-eam work and basket shooting was too much for the Nebraska freshmen and Lincoln won the game, 22 to 14. The game had been scheduled for last Thursday by way of preparing the Lincoln players for the tournament.
Lincoln's close guarding and baske1J shooting won the game. The freshmen were guarded so closely that they got few chances to score while Lincoln took advantage of every opportunity. The first half ended in a tie, 9 to 9. In the second half Lincoln drew away from their opponents and threw enough baskets tu win the game.

THE FORUM
According to Mr H H Wilson , president• of Nebraska Bar Ass<,ciation, who spoke to the m e mbers nf The Forum last Thursday night. the main object of public speaking is to convey one's thoughts to the mind ot of his hearers Mr. Wilson said that one of the first requisites of public speaking is to have something tJr:J say. Another thing that is necessary for a public speaker is a wide knowledge of various subjects. Mr \Viisoi! spoke on public speaking in law, and his speech was greatly appreciated by the members of The Forum
After Mr. Wilson's speech Gladys Jacobs, accompanied by her sisl(}t', Hazel Jacobs, gave several selections on the zylophone.

The seniors redoubled their energies. At the end of the sec· ond half the score was 12 to 7 in favor of the seniors.

A bird program is to be given here April 6 or 13, by the society. The birds are very useful in ridding crops of insect pests, therefore bird conservation is a war measure. In order to interest all, announcement of t:he program has been senl to each principal of the Lincoln schools; to Mrs. Teal, head of the campfire girls in Lincoln, and to James Whitney, leader of the boy scouts. The club suggested that the manu,al training, English and art departments take up respectively the building of bird

THE FORUM
Forlil. er lieutenant governor, S. R. McKelvie, spoke t'O the mempers of The Forum Friday night. His subject was, "Speaking at Banquets " He emphasized that the toasts should be carefully thought out and carefully prepared, not too long, ten or fiftQen minutes is long enough. A good way to begin a t"Oast is to tell a story. which must be a true story and it should not have reference to any individual present, because you cannot tell how this person will take it
A toastmaster should not discuss the speech of t·he person who has spoken, but should outline the purpose of the event.

"My dear Mr Culler: ''I wish to acknowledge the receipt of the boxes, eighteen in number, made by the students of the Manual Training Department of your high school.

'Twas a dull, dark day when Teacher was away And left our poor class without a bead, For we stumbled and forgot, 'Till it looked just like a plot; And the lesson was tumultuously read
Though our Head indeed was gone, and gloomy was the dawn,
When each one sadly sett-led in hie seat; We can all asseverate, And not prevaricate,
That we surely had a multitude of feet.
There were some that were iambic, dactylic, and trochaic, And many other kinds from which to choose;
But t·he ones that made the noise
Were those of all the boys, That beat a rhythm none could ever lose. -Carol Cornell

THE FORUM At the last regular meeting of the Forum, which all the new members attended, a very fine m;usical program was given by tbe University School of Mu!?ic. After the program was over an exciting and important business meeting followed. Several amendments to the constitution were read and laid on the table for this· week.
To inform the new members about the doings and what the Forum stood for, the old member s were divided into groups and each group had a certain thing or activity to explain to the nev.: members. This was caUed an informatiou tour. When everything had been explained, Mr. Hewitt gave a short talk about the Norfolk ticket sale. Then Miss Proctor outlined the programs for the rest of the semester, which promise to be very interesting.

LINCOLN'S ALIBI FOR OMAHA
48 TRIED ouT AT OMAHA, 18 AT LINCOLN
The fundamental reason for Lincoln't defeat by Omaha was not, ·as been reported, stage fright, nor our team's doing 30 per cent poorer than at Plattsmouth, nor poor debate tactics, nor any of the numerous minor poinrs-all of which are however, true. Nor was the f undamental cause the slight illness of our second speaker; nor the fact that our first speaker was kidnapped and kept awake till 3: 20 the morning before the debate -a true, but generally unknown so far.
But the fundamental reason goes
back to November 23, 1917 On that date it could well be said that Omaha defeated Lincoln, and not on April 30, 1918. Vilhy? Because Omaha had 48 out for debate and they all tried out, while Lincoln had but 26 out and but
Mark O Brien of Temple High school was chosen as the c hampion debater of Nebraska at the annual championship contest at the University Memorial hall last Saturday morning. William Lantz of Ravenna was awarded .second place and Sol Rosenblatt of Omaha Central took third place.
Mark O'Brien argued the negative of the league question, "Resolved, that compulsory military training should be adopted in all the high schools of the United States." The other two winners debated on the affi.rrn,ative.
Two young women debaters did very well. They were F·rances Burn· ham of Randolph and Leah Thomas of Edgar.
Lincoln High school being defeated by Temple High school could not send a representative to the state meet.
The following were the speakers in the order named: Affirmative.,-
Ewing Rankin, Minden:
Sol Rosenblatt, Omaha. Howard Bennett, Alliance. Fred Adkins, Wymore.

Speaking of debate, it is worth while to notice that out of nine debates scheduled thi s year Lincoln High won seven. This is even more remarkable when we consider that this year, for the first time, two debating teams were selected instead of one, which naturally divided the, strength of our debat e rs instead of uniting the three best debaters into one team. In spite of this division, both teams went right ahead , and, debating against more and larger schc·ols than ever before, defeated seven Of their nine opponents. "Give credit when credit is due." We can not give too much ·credit to the two teams and the coach who have so efficiently upheld the debate honors ·of the school this year. Individually, the members of the debating teams are as loyal members o·f our High School as the members of :---------------- the football or basketball team. Each
