water up. The trestle is twenty FIVE

1t is being talked great deal that a
new school house should be built this
summer, which certainly is very much
needed here. If they build it two
stories high. the new K. OF P. lodge
will rent the upper story. 1t would be
a good idea for the school trustees to
look into this matter at once, for the
lodge stands in oeed of a place to hold
its meetings and are making arrange.
ments to build hail but if the school
is going why not erect a two story
building and let tne Z. OF P's. rent it:
The rent from the lodge would over pay
the interest on the money that will
have to oe borrowed to build the school
house. Mr.. D. r. Lide c. G. will be
glad to talk with any of the school
trustees regarding this. Let us hear
from the school at once.
