ture to be 5Ox5O. The main part is to

There was big box supper at the
Esbeck schoolhouse, southeast of Elk
horn, Saturday eve. $40 worth of
boxes were sold. A voting contest
was then inaugurated to determine
which was the most popular box.
When the leading box, which had
1l2S votes to its credit was identified
it was discovered it belonged to mar
ried man. OF course the Joke was two
fold. Someone had no partner for
supper and further it was so strange
that mans box should be voted the
most popular. We won't dare tell, but
it was planned before the event came
off. That's what one of the other fell
lows thought, too, when he tried to
chuck" whole crowd and push his
box ~ up on the top wave of popular
ity. It's pretty tough to get within
800 votes and then lose out. But after
all, it was great sport and made the
school library over $40, SO we're all
happy anyhow, aren't we? Next time
We'll wait until we see which box will
win and then vote for it.
Before this issue of the Journal
