Last Thursday, the High School

light station and examined the dyna-
mo's.Superintendent Utley received
the class very courteously and ex-

G.. H. S1BLEY Recorder.
The council have the matter of
putting down stone crossings in hand.
They are now arranging for stone to

stone crossing will cost but very little
if any more than plank and will last
a great deal longer. -.

The people Of the United King
dom, including the babies, spent an
average Of $18.18 apiece last year for
wine, beer and alcoholic liquors.
This, an average Of 5 cents per day,
is said to show decided falling of
in consumption over previous years.
The decrease is attributed to scarcity
Of work and low wages, and is there
fore scarcely encouraging to the
friends of temperance.
A petition is being circulated at
Heron Lake, asking the village coun-
Gil to employ the cornet band to give
a. concert once a week during the sea-
son. This is a move in the right di-
rection, as there is nothing more en-
stertaining.than music and public con-
certs, as they are always enjoyed.
They prove that the citizens are pro-
gressive and public spirited. When
the band here resumes playing again
il would be an excellent arrangement
for council here to make, employing
the band to give weekly concerts at
some convenient place in the village.
They would be an attraction to peo-
pie residing in the country and ap-
