The closing school days of the
year 1011'1'J at the S, I'. S. will
long be remembered in the hearts
of both teachers and students with
fondest recollections, on account of
the pleasant gatherings and outings
together. On last Wednesday

ant trip to the bluff's is reported;
the Seniors were delightfully en-
tertained by the Juniors on Satur-

It was thought at the close
of the 1911 U.C. V. reunion at
Little Wock that Oklahoma
City would make a success-
ful bid for the reunion in 1913
but it transpired that the old

south by voting in favor of
Chattanooga.

care they will get. You will find the
boy, after a day's work, out currying

The breeding of draft horses haa
come to be a very profitable adjunct
to diversified farming, and at no time
.during the last fifteen or twenty
lyears, writes Qeorge P. Grout in an
exchange, haa the price been higher

medium quality and lightweight
horses that there used to be, and

knives are direct connected to the

powerful movement to the blades, with
less motor power, and consequently
less cost for operating. The knives
