oue of the first questions that comes
to a man with a family is "What are
the school facilities" The prailent
man of the West is not only looking
for a place where he can have materia
prosperity but he is also looking for a
place where he can educate his child
ren. If there is anyone thing which
characterizes the enterprise of the
West It is the establishing of schools
and colleges for the children. The
litti. miitta anitnnl house on the hill
and in the valley has been almost the
first consideration of all western pio
neers. Moat of the early settlers were
better educated than were their friends
whom they left at the old home and
they clearly foresaw that they coald
not build up a new country with a
firai foundation If they neglected- the
eduoatlon of their children. .

At the present time our schools are
fully equipped from the kindergarten

the high school. This department of
schoolllfe has undergone a radical
hanse from conditions a few years
ago. Manual training, domestic
science, shorthand and typewriting
-courses have been added to the regular
classical course. The result has been
most gratifying. The boys and girls
-who have no desire to study Latin
have now several elective courses offer
ed them and they consequently remain
a school. The attendance xf our high
school has increased three hundred
per cent since these the elective cour
ses have been installed, The boys
learn to use the hammer and saw, the
plane and chisel, the square and com
pass and they manufacture racks,
stools, tables, benches and the like
with a dexterity that would do credit
to an experienced carpenter. They en

This Issue of Tiie Chief closes ths
fourth year under the present manage

the generous patronage given us by
the merchants of this city and the
people of the surrounding country.
Four Years ago this paper was suffer
ing from the effects of an incompetent
administration, Its presses were out of
repair, its print was poor and its pat
ronage was rapidly declining. The
outlook was not very bright but we
thought that we saw the possibilities
of the future and that there was a
place in this community for The Chief
to fill.
During the four years we have
greatly added to the equipment, mend
ed the presses and to the best of our
ability have built up the plan. We

The Holiday Spirit
Says "Give Jewelry"
m
Nothing else that comes within the range of gift-giving so
universally pleases.
Nothing else is so generally given nothing else so com
pletely voices the spirit of Christmas.
Of course there are many sorts of Jewelry displays. Some v
are more comprehensive than others, Some show '
greater taste in designing than others. Some are
more "Christmassy" than others. ,
We are not going to make any comparisons except to say.
that we really believe that you givers of gifts will
find more of the real spirit of the season evidenced '
in OUR this year's display than you will find
within many miles of this stpre.2 $
Giving Jewelry doesn't mean that there's a lot of money
to pay, either not necessarily. ,
..... .
in tact mere are any number ot articles ncre that you can
own for less than a dollar. ,
But what we want to particularly emphasize here', is that
you can't' have a want at thistime, but we meet it
with the precise article you desire atits lowest price,,"
You can understand just what, we mean if you call.

hidden some where in the branoB.es of

were found in unexpected places which
proved to be some what of a joke upon
the recipient. Some of the jokes were
very olever and various articles, such
as diamonds, musical instruments,
house keeping utensils, farm imple
ments and even houses and automo
biles changed hands.
Refreshments were served at tables
beautifully decorated each with a small
