WILLIAMSBURG HIGH SCHOOL NOTES AIN'T THIS RIGHT? 'The week beginning Novem- ber 6th is good English week. This will be the third year of this observance. This week should be especially observed by all pupils and them- by other people who consider selves Americans. A person can never realize the real value of well spoken English, no matter how long they live, as the value can never be estimated. Just stop and think how beneficial good English is to the person who is seeking employment.

No matter what work it be, they are certain to need may good speech sooner or later. Well spoken English is sometimes called a person's good fortune. He is fortunate if he uses pure American speech. But cultured people consider a person a good American only when he can use good English. Chapel Program Shows Good Talent The students were very much pleased with the entertainment given last Wednesday morning at the chapel period in the assembly hall, when the faculty produced their long promised program.

We are very proud to have such a highly talented faculty. Owing to shortness of time in which they had to render their program, several of the faculty had to be left out and we hope to give them a chance to show their talent in the near future. Their program was as follows: Reading Story of Jean Val Jean from Les Miserables, Willard McEvoy. Piano Duet Misses Fisher and McFerren. Reading- A Chip Off the Old Block," Miss Miesse.

Vocal Solo-Mr. Thomas. By the loud applause the faculty should have been convinced that their program was heartily enjoyed.

AN OPPORTUNITY Blanton! Did you ever hear the name before? That illustrates a thing that I've long wanted to talk a- bout. We have nearly five hundred congressmen and a lot of senators that no-one ever hears of and yet every one of them is a stumbling block in the way of real progress, for it is well known that a large body can get nowhere. Unless one looks on the mass as a school from which to select future leaders it would be just as well if we had a dozen men in congress.

Then something would be done. As it is, the multiplicity of solons only makes for a muitiplicity of jobs to fill the want made by political need. Placles have to be made for a hundred office-holders for every congressman, else the lawmaker could have no assurance that he was going to go back year after year. To illustrate: How many of Kansas' eight congressmen and two senators can you name? If you can name them all, can you tell their initials and name just one thing they have accomplished to pay for the ten thousand dollars a year they have cost you di-1 rectly and the Good Lord only knows how much indirectly? Blanton's speech only afforded an opportunity for a lot of fellows to get into the grandstand and show off. I'll bet a penny that every inan who voted for expuision swears more every day in private by ten times than Blanton caused to be printed in the perfectly, useless Congressional -The Pink Rag.

NATIONAL RED CROSS SUNDAY Sunday, November National 13th, Red has I been designated Cross Sunday by a proclamation of President Harding. In a communication sent out from the Washington to the clergy of America, the President says: "To The Reverend Clergy: "The President of the United States has designated Sunday, November 13th, as Red Cross Sunday.

OUT WHERE THE WEST BEGINS. Williamsburg grades were victorious in the first game of the season played here Wednesday afternoon with the Pomona grades. The teams were matched and they played a snappy game from start to finish. 'The girls' game ended with a score of 13 to 12, Williamsburg girls victorious, with Gladys Severns the star forward. The boys' game did not seem well matched for, in appearance, the Pomona were larger, but the game ended by a 12 to 8 score in favor of the Williamsburg boys; "Cogs" Gates being star of the grades.

Keep it up, grades, and win another pennant, because W. H. S. is with you. ATHLETICS Grades Victorious If you ever were to enter the science room the first thing to remind you of a play house table, is Mr.

Osborne, sitting at his playing with his rocking horse, which he will tell you is supposed to represent the center of the mass. 'The next thing you would see him do is to get his little glass lift and force pumps and pump some water for his horse. He saw that the wooden horse would not drink very much, so he thought that there must be something the matter with the water. So he examined it with his high powered microscope and found a few bacteria in the water. Thinking this was the cause of his wooden horse not drinking, he distilled some water, but still his horse would not drink.

Then he thought of the old saying, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink," so you would see him put the horse back upon the shelf.

Now that the winter season is approaching, the Weather bureau of the United States Department of Agriculture is perfecting its service to assist stockmen and agricultural interests in general against the dangers of cold waves, heavy snows, high winds and blizzards. The increased use of the wireless by the department of Agriculture will expedite the handling of weather forecasts in the western states.

Plans have been worked out whereby within an hour or two at the outside after the Weather bureau issues the warning, every community will be in possesion of it. In fact, every individual farmer or rancher who has a telephone, will be in possession of it, for, under the system perfected, the wireless will be used to communicate forecasts of blizzards, heavy snows, to central points, where arrangements will be made to tele-. phone the information to all parties having phone service. In event of a severe winter, such as has been predicted, the perfected service of the Weather bureau will undoubtedly save stockmen and farmin the west hundreds of thousands of dollars by preventing losses among their cattle and live stock. As the result of a conference just held by the Post- EDITORIAL Team Work What is team work? In basket ball, team work is one of the things that is required of the team before it has any chance of winning.

In school, in the class, the teacher and the student should carry on a wonderful system of team work, which is obtained only when the student is willing to and wants to receive a higher education, which everyone needs today. We think, then, that if the student prepares his or her lessons diligently and if the teacher carries out her part of the system of team work, the stu dent will obtain that part of a higher education which the student receives from the public school. Team work is not carried out as it sohuld be in this school, as most grade reports have shown, so let's get busy, students, and show the teachers that we can hold up our end of the system of team work. "Let's go." Everybody Ought to Know- That Mr. Osborne has adopted the moral in Mr.

Thomas' song, "If You Can't Be True to One or Two, You Are Much Better Off With Three." That Allen Ashcraft will soon be bald headed if he continues to wear his hat in the house. That Martha Marie Owen does not have anything to say. Then he would get his little dishpan and with the aid of some resin, water and coal dust, he would try to see the earth move around so fast you would think it would make his head spin, but don't get worried, it doesn't. All these things make you think he is getting paid for running a playhouse. master General Hays and his welfare director, Dr.

L. Frankel, the welfare work in the Postoffice department will begin to show tangible results. The purpose of the conference was to outline the new duties which will he added to the regular work of the postoffice inspectors scattered thoughout the United States. The welfare division of the Postoffice department has been collecting data regarding the physical condition of postoffice buildings throughout the United States. This data was collected through a questionaire which was placed in the hands of every postmaster and deals with the conditions affecting lighting, heating, sanitation.

YA COOK SADDER'N EVERY THING. Out where the handclasp's a little stronger, Out where the smile dwells a little longer, That's where the West begins. Out where the sun is a little brighter, Where the snows that fall are a trifle whiter, Where the bounds of home are a wee bit tighter, That's where the West begins.

Out where the skies are a trifle bluer, Out where friendship's a little truer, That's where the West begins. Out where a fresher breeze is blowing, Out where there's laughter in every streamlet flowing, Where there's more of reaping and less of sowing, That's where the West begins. Out where the world is in the making, Where fewer hearts in despair are aching, That's where the West begins. Where there's more of singing and less of sighing, Where there's more of giving and less of buying, And a man makes friends without half trying. That's where the West begins.

Aspirin is in wider use in the United States than any other drug. It is a coal-tar derivative and is made from carbolic acid. Speaking of the results of its widespread use, Dr. Cary Eggleston, of the Department of Pharmacology in Cornell University Medical School, says: "I believe that the worst charge that I can bring against aspirin, is that it is without doubt indirectly responsible for thousands of deaths which are ascribed in our mortality tables to pneumonia, tuberculosis, heart disease and others almost as prevalent and deadly." The amount of damage caused by fires from 1915 to 1019 in the United States, according to fire underwriters, would build homes for 375 persons.
