dren may be excused from attend
ance on account of physical OF
mental incapacity, or If they have
completed the common school
course; but no child may be ex-
cused from attending the first half

A meeting of the stockholders of
the Arcadia Valley Butter and Ice
Factory was held in the Academy
of Music Tuesday morning, for the
purpose of collecting all balances
due on stock subscriptions, elect
ing a board of directors to take
charge of the property and attend
to other important business. AS a
majority of the stock was not rep
resented at the meeting another
meeting was called for next Satur-
day afternoon, when it is hoped
every stakeholder will be present.
There has been some dissatisfac-
ton among the stockholders be-
cause of the location of the plant
and for other reasons, but we are
told that there is hope of all these
matters being satisfactorily ad-
justed before the meeting Satur-
day. The report of the committee
is that the ice plant and the cream
cry are all right and their products
most satisfactory in every respect.
Some cranky old bachelor edit
or writes: "Did you eve notice a
group of little girls between the
ages of ID and IS chattering away
on a corner? The next time you
sit near such a group listen and
hear if about every tenth word is
about what .he said If it is you
have found some more of the 'he
said girls, and they are not the
incest little girls in the world.
The 'he said are likley to loiter
down town after school too late to
help their mothers with their after
noon work. They are likely to
wear a little better clothes than
their fathers can afford, so that the
neighbors wonder what their
mothers can be thinking about.
The she said girls also too often
think moro of the boys than of
their books, and frequently fail to
get through school. They are in
for a good time, and have nothing
in their heads but hairpins and two
steps,"
