We are undergoing reaction after
the 4th of July excitement and there is
not much of general interest to chron-
icle. The finance committee report
considerable funds left over after pay
ing all expenses of the celebration and
the question is divided whether to salt
1T down as nest egg for some public
demonstration hereafter, or donate it
to the band boys. Better get present
good on. of it by helping the boys along,
or, if they won't take it, turn it over to
the musicale or get good big flag
or two to be used on public occasions.
By-the-way, that last suggestion rolled
out without generalization, but we be-
lieve it worth following up. and that
the surplus cash could not be more

Our school board election passed off
smoothly with the result that Chas. A.
Wilson was chosen director, John
Draggs, treasurer, and C. P. Him, clerk.
We have not learned that they have
yet decided on instructors for the COM

intermediate school building. 1t is

was enjoyed. The financial results
would have been more gratifying if,
after putting salt around the ice cream
freezers, the cooks had put the re-
mainder out of reach, instead of suoay
ing the lemonade and ice cream with it.
Guess your typos must have had a
good deal of the Fourth in them vet
when setting up your last issue. Mrs.
w. b. Hamburger is not visiting Mr..
Chas. A. Williams, but Mrs. w. B.
Hmmberger is visiting Mr.. Chas. A.
Wttltson. "a rose by any other name
were just as sweet" maybe, but we are
inclined to think these good people will
prefer to continue life's journey with
the names by which their friends will
be able to identify them.

Valley school house Saturday afternoon
and Sunday. Rev. ID. X. Young was

suspended to let carpenters complete
some other urgent work, but will now

Him, Hldebrand & Parker have
built large refrigerator store room

pose of storing butter that they desire
to hold for advanced markets.
The elements have been rampant all
around us on several occasions during
the past week, and it did seem as if we
were finally to get sample of the man
ner in which Nature has been PLAYING
havoc in other parts of the state recent
ly. But we We're let off with deluge
of rain (Which really did much more
good than harm) and tritling bit of
hail. -
