The Warrenton Dramatic ClIb have been
thinking OF presenting another play 10 the

idea for there Is nothing the people enjoy
more Than a good play. Besides developing

to be elected. a salary decided upon, and right
here will state. that to employ a first class
mechanic yon must pay a first class salary
After this Is done, open the school to applica'
lions and then select your teacher. Open
school, get TO work in the class room, and
above all, give the teacher your support AT
