board OF the lronton dlstrlct Ior
the proposed addition to the
school building at its meeting last
Friday night was that of Con-
tractor Chas. j. Tual, who agreed
to do the work for about $500.
AS this was over a $1,000 more than
the amount the board had to spend
that body was in quite a quandary-
Mr.. Tual, who had drawn the plans
and specifications on instructions
from the board that they had
about $500 to expend, explained
that in figuring before he had
failed to include the cost of the
proposed steam heating plant.
The matter was laid over until
Monday night when another meet
ing was held and Mr.. Tual was
awarded the contract for building
the addition to the building
without any heating plant-for
about $4,000. The heating plant
can be installed at any time in
the future.
1t is not encouraging to hear
that the wheat crop will probably
fail of its usual product. 1t was
hoped that bountiful yields OF
breadstuffs would, to some extent
at least, Offset the effects of the
business depression prevailing
and reduce the cost of living to
those dependent upon their daily
labor at reduced earnings to pro-
vide for the sustenance of those
dependent upon them. Let us
hope that harvest-time will yield
more literally than it promises.
The Dexter Enterprise Messenger
says of the prospect in the extreme
Southeast: "The wheat crop OF
this county, as a whole, does not
look promising for a good yield
this year. The stalk is too thin
from the ground. This seems to
be the universal complaint all over
Southeast Missouri. In the wheat
belt around Sikeston many wheat
fields were plowed up and put in
corn on account of the poor stand"
Miss Ethel Morris, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w. Morris of
Pennington, has attained no little
celebrity in musical circles of our
neighboring town. The following
is taken from the last issue of the
Harrington NeUs: "To the music
loving people of Pennington,
nothing more pleasing has been
presented here in a long time than
the graduating recital of Miss
Ethel Morris, given at Elmwood
Seminary on the evening of May
10, in which she was assisted by
Miss Pearl O'Sullivan, soprano,
and Miss Bertha Mitchell, reader.
The entire program was given
from memory, and her accuracy,
the lightness of her touch, her in
terpretation of each number be-
spoke the musician from start to
, finish. In her first number,
Beethoven's Concerto, G minor,
first movement (cadenza by Rein
!, ecke), Miss Clark performed at
the second piano. The two num-
, bers most pleasing perhaps to the
audience were the 'Night Song
:. from Schumann, and a Polonaise
t in E major from List. Miss Nor
: ris has been under the instruction
of Miss Lillian Clark of the music
! department at Elmwood Semi
. nary, and to her faithful and ef-
fcient instruction is due, in a large
measure, the musical attainment
!. of her talented young pupil. Miss
q Morris is always a favorite per-
! former and her appearance in any
program is sure to be greeted by
\ an appreciative audience"
