getting up this entertainment are Ger.
tainly grateful at the successful ter.
mination of their work. The medal
was awarded to Miss Clara Hammer
The drills by the girls and boys were
very neatly executed and elected loud

ing card and the audience would not
be content until they responded tt

: Next Thursday the voters Of Coopers
!: town are asked to stepMp to tn
] polls and vote for the issuance O
sl5, 900 worth of bonds for the purpos'
Of building of a schoolhouse. 1t is {
settled fact beyond dispute that w

and that the board Of education has
also got to get the money to build
with, therefore the COURIER sincerely
hopes that everyone with the welfare
of the town and the children at heart
will walk up to the polls and deposit
! one great big ballot for bonds. Should
the bond election fail to carry it would
be necessary for the board to continue
, the present method of holding schoo

. held for one year. There is no use ir
being divided on this question at all
let us stand shoulder to shoulder witt
, the board and help bear the response

!. welfare of their children first and lei
e other minor matters wait awhile
e Give a big majority for bonds next
