Isn't it about time that some movement
was being made looking to the holding
of a series of dances at the school house
this winter2 School will soon close, and
1t would be the height of folly to allow
the room to become moldy and festooned
with cobwebs by closing it until the next
session begins. There will be no trouble
in securing funds to pay for taking up

your home paper that prints your news
that says word Of sympathy when you
are sorrowful; that speaks kind word
for your dear dead that advertises your
county, town and farm that assists iii

land sharks and for the protection of
honest settlers against grab-all texcur-
sionists,' has been fruitful oasis in the
desert of Democratic supremacy; but in ),
this recent ruling he is entirely "off his
base.'
