even three or four. on whom to bestow
praise for their efforts in behalf of the
club, and yet it might truthfully be
said that the club owes its very exist.
ence to some half dozen. However
that is the history of every organiza-

wants and needs the support of every
person in the county. and when the
tickets for THE District School" are
placed on sale dig down" whether you
