he class of 1920:
SCRAMBLED TEACHERS.
(Eva Marjory Alderson.)
I have a reccipe, and its just
And on its results I will ask you to dine,
^ The teachers I’ll scramble, (mix well, but not beat)
And when they are done, they will be a fine treat.
Mr. Dugger, the principal, says with a smile,
That the way of the good child is always worth while—
But he’ll'say with a frown and the smile he'll discard
That the transgressor's way has been always found hard.
Now teachers are handsome whenever they smile,
And that kind of a look beats the grouches a mile.
Lets unite us our forces to make them smile more
And kick all the grouchy looks out of the door.
Miss Roskoff can drill us and grind us most stern,
But whenever we faithfully our lessons learn,
She quite kindly lets us make oodles of noise,
Look out of the windows and flirt with the boys.
Mrs. Suhr is really a sweet little thing,
Who teaches the sourful folks how to sing,
Takes care of the ‘Seniors is expert at eats,
And subject her pupils to all kinds of treats.
Mrs. Disher wields ruler, compass and chalk
And gives out a very good line of talk,
About square things, and round things, and lines, I can’t tell
And keeps us all wishing there was no call bell.
Mrs. Dugger and Shakespeare have picnics galore,
And if they had chances, they’d have even more,
She keeps us in spasms of fear and of dread,
Till Brutus has stabbed and till Caesar is dead.
Mr. Porter can giye you a business like stare,
And can crack you a smile that is really most rare,
He’s a genius at going “click-clickety-click”
At typewriting, shorthand, and arithmetic.
Mr. Suhr, the terrible, awful and kind,
Has the talent of making us poor people mind;
But whenever you’re thinking it never will come,
He cracks you a smile that will wake up the dumb.
And so, if you’ve watched closely, you surely will find
How they have lengthened the brain and broadened the mind
Of the dear little pupils, in just four short years—
Let’s offer the teachers three, long, hearty cheers!

NEW lOtA IN WaIOH MAKING
Discovery, It Is Announced, Is Capable
of Revolutionizing the Pree*
ent Industry.
Not long ago there was announced
a discovery described by the director
| of the International bureau of weights
and measures as being capable of revo
lutionizing the watchmaking industry.
A successful method of regulation,
remedying the variations In time of a
watch due to the expansion and con
traction of Its parts caused by varia
tions of temperature, is the result of
the Invention of C. E. Guillaume.
This so-called “secondary error" al
ways has been one of the great ob
stacles in the attainment of perfection
and precision In the watchmaking in
dustry.
The chief feature of the Guillaume
process Is a change In the alloy used
In the compensating parts. Then mini
mum expansion of nickeled steel was
found to be Increased by the addition
of 12 per cent of chrome as well as a
small quantity of tungsten, man
ganese or carbon. By mounting a
spiral of this steel nickel-chrome al
loy In the watch, according to t/e
French announcement, the problem of
compensation has been solved and the
“secondary error” removed.—Washing

Dean Render To Be Rector of the
Schuylerville Parish.
(Valentine Republican, April 23.)
Dean Walter A. Render, head of the
Episcopal deanery of Valentine and
O’Neill, for the last three years, has
received and accepted a call to the
rectorship of the parish at Schuyler
ville, N. Y., and with Mrs. Render and
Miss Marian, will leave for his new
home next Tuesday. Dean Render’s
resignation from his present position
was a surprise to most of his par
ishers here, although it was known
that he contemplated a change. He
announced his coming departure at
the evening service at St. John’s
church Sunday.
Bishop Beecher is now confronted
with the task of finding a successor to
Dean Render, who must look after a
string of stations along the North
western several hundred miles in
length.

High quality pigments and oils don’t
guarantee a paint that spreads, covers
and wears well. Neither do low,
medium and higher boiling point
fractions in gasoline assure superior
motor fuel. -In both cases balanced
proportions determine real worth.
R »
IF altering the proportions of low and higher boiling
point fractions in Red Crown would improve it, we
would change it to a blended gasoline.
But Red Crown is so accurately balanced to give quick
starts in any weather, burns up with such a slight
residue of carbon, develops power so dependably and
gives such big mileage per gallon that it would be a
mistake to change it. »
Innumerable experiments have proved that you can
neither add nor take away any fraction of Red Crown
and have as good an all-around motor fuel.
