Prof. Bitner gave an interesting talk
i on "Bones” last Thursday morning.
He says there are three kinds of bones
wish bones, jaw bones and back bones;
the wish bone class of people are
those who are always wishing for
something.the jaw bones are those who
say they do so much and in reality it
doesn’t amount to anything. The back
bone or the I willi s the ideal type. If
there are any curvatures of the spine
in the shape of a wish bone, right here
in school 1b the place to correct it.
Catherine Curtis gave a piano solo
and Helma Jung a vocal solo Wednes
day morning, after which Prof. Bitner
turned the rest of the period to athle
tics. Coach Davidson and each of the
members of the football team winning

Laughlin. Llovd Bulger, Ross Corning.
Milo Daily, Russel Grow. Russel Wil
kie, Rhule Larsen, Joseph Zaruba.
Fred Amick. John Long and Mark
Johansen each received a watch fob
with a small gold football on each

tion are Raymond Outhouse, Earl Dad
do w, Alton Woten. David Morrow. Ce
cil Hancock, Ted Gasteyer and Harold
Rowe. These boys stuck it out the
whole season but it did not reach the
exact requirements which is eight
halves.
Boys basket ball is not very well
organized as yet There are a few
who have been regular in their prac
tice, Daily, Outhouse, Noyes and Wo
ten being the men who have been
showing basket ball form so far. A
great deal of practice is necessary if
we intend to put out a good team. We
need more men out every night. The
enter class games will be played in
February and each class should put
in their best players.
The Beaver staff on account of the
high price of paper and printing have
cut down on the size of their paper
except the last issue which will be like
the first only larger and dedicated to
the Seniors. This also cuts down the
subscription price.
The 11th English are finishing up

connection with his lecture he offers
ten dollars in prizes to school children
who will recite his poems the night he
is here. Advertising will be out next
week with full particulars. The High
, School stands for good entertainment
and Mr. Bush’s lecture is just the thing
for pupils as well as patrons. Let’s all
get behind this enterprise and make it
1 a complete success. We need lectures
of this kind to get the community to
gether.
Basket Ball
i he Basket Ball girls played their
' second game last Friday night at
Boelus. They came out victorious with
the score 20 to 15. It was a hard game
and some of our best players mot
' their match there. Both sides fought
hard for the game, and it was played
’ quite rough on account that the Boelus
girls have been used to playing with
- the boys.
The guards stayed by their oppon
i ents all the time, and on our side
i there was some excellent forwarding
done. At the end of the first half.
I which was played with two courts and
. six players, the score was 3 to 11 in
> our favor.
The second half was played open
. field and it got the girls mixed up
quite a bit but they won at the end.
They certainly appreciated the rooting
, which the Loup City boys done and
. also the Cairo High School.

LORENTZ
| //ILL AMERICA REDEEM MEXICO?
Now that the election is over and
Mr. Wilson has been entrusted with
the reins of government for another
four years, there is one piece of work
that will forcibly demand his atten
tion. and that is the pacification of
Mexico.
We are well aware that the Mexican
problem presents great difficuJties,
view it from whatever angle we may.
But they are difficulties that may and
can be overcome, and as time goes on
it becomes more and more apparent
that it is up to the United States to
overcome them.
The truth of the whole matter is
that Mexico is suffering from the same
misrule from which we freed Cuba—
the decadent Spanish rule.
Mexico is a republic only in name.
Not the first principle of popular rule
has ever prevailed in that country.
The forces that have always controlled
her destiny have been those be
queathed by Spain. With misrule and
oppression on the one hand, and sul
len hatred and resentment on the
other, it is small wonder that she has
been in a perpetual state of unrest
and turbulance.
President Diaz was the only ruler
in her history who ever maintained a
semblance of order, and he did so
solely by the use of the mailed hand.
Since his day poor Mexico has seen
naught but anarchy. Anarchy pre
vails there today—anarchy and
wholesale brigandage.
Argue as we may against the idea
of intervention, the fact is daily be
coming more apparent that it is the
only solution. That enlightened Amer
ica should sit idly by and make no ef
fort to remedy the intolerable state of
affairs prevailing there, is inconceiv
able. Mexico is a blot on the Western
civilization, and only Western civiliza
tion can erase that blot.
Of course every American wishes
that the redemption of Mexico may be
accomplished by peaceable means if
possible. But the progress being
made in that direction appears to the
average mind as negligible. The mat
ter seems no nearer a solution today
man u urn nity years ago.
From the days of President Buchan
an until today, every president has had
the same difficulties to contend with
there. Each has had his vexing “Mexi
can question," and it is remarkable
how similar have been the circum
stances that each has had to face.
Not only the present generation,
but the unborn generations of the fu
ture of that unhappy land demand of
tis inat we-confer trpau them some of
the blessings that our forbears be
queathed to us.
Twenty years ago Cuba was in as
pitable condition as Mexico is today.
We have remade and rehabilitated her,
and today she is enjoying that peace
and prosperity which her natural ad
vantages merit.
We can do the same for unhappy
Mexico. We should do the same for
her. But will we do it? ,

Stage life, with its unfailing appeal
to the public, is intimately disclosed
in the BlueBird Photoplay, “Bobbie
of the Ballet,” with Louise Lovely, the
girl whose appearance lives up to her
name, impersonating a ballet girl who
resists temptation under strong pres
sure and triumphs over those who,
would wreck her life. There is a pa
thetic appeal to the hearts of humani
tarians in this girl’s struggles against
heavy odds and an example of up
rightness for girls who may be weak
ening under the stress of their sur
roundings. In working out an inten
sely interesting story the producers
have adopted several sensational
methods to intensify the appeal of a
great moral lesson embellishing the
visualization of the narrative in beau
tiful photography. Saturday, Dec. 23.
