SUMMER OUTINGS

Cj EVERAL delightful letters about
the closing week of school have
~ already come to me, and L have
heard of half a dozen more events in
school history which would make ex-
cellent reading in the Junior pages.
/ hope that each one of my boys and
girls will write me as fully as possible
all about these last days at school.
The new topic will give you each plenty
of chance to make suggestions about
the midsummer frolic. Each member
Of the Junior band is invited to suggest
some amusement which would be pos
sible to arrange for two or three hun
dred young folk, and which would
assure each of those two or three hum
dred as good time as they could pos
sibly get in any other way.
Remember, 1 have something already
planned which I think will be very
nice, but if any one can suggest a
better idea I will certainly adopt it.
hope that all my nieces and nephews
will have a delightful summer vaca-
tion; that they will remember the
Junior and will write of their many
good times, so that their cousins in
other portions of the state or city can
share with them, in spirit at least, the
many good times which the vacation
days will give. Not the least of these
good times, l hope, will be the frolic
which is to take place about the middle
of the vacation, and to which Juniors
will be invited who have sent at least
two contributions to the paper during
the four weeks Immediately preceding
the frolic.
There is one subject directly con-
nected with good times about which
wish to speak, and that is the fact that
when vacation comes many school girls
and boys will be at liberty to wander
off on long tramps, go for picnics, and
otherwise plan delightful out-of-door
excursions. Now let me ask the girls,
and also the mothers of the girls, to
see that there is always some older
and wiser person along when these lit
tie outings are planned. The great
number of young girls who have mys-
teriously disappeared in the past few
weeks ought to be sufficient warning
to all mothers, but in most cases the
trouble was caused by their careless
ness. Each time l see one of those
terrifying headlines I fear the name
may be one of my own dear Junior
girls, and while this danger continues
as strong as it is now 1 do hope that
each girl in my little group of nieces
will take extra care to remember just
three things: Never to eat any food,
fruit, ice cream or anything of that sort
offered her by stranger, either man
or woman never to talk to strangers
whom she meets. away from home, and
last but by no means least, to learn to
scream. The ability to scream at the
top of her voice is girls best defense
do not wish to be considered as Civ
ing an unnecessary alarm, but 1 do
think that it is time that mothers and
fathers realized that their girls and
boys are not wise enough or strong
enough to be allowed to go about over
long distances of unfrequented country
without some other protection. Per-
haps some of the boys and girls will
think that l am prescribing rules alto
gether too strict, but l do not believe
that any mothers will think so when
they give the matter a little consid-
Grafton.
With love for you all,

TRYING TO GET TOGETHER
Republican CIubs Appoint Confer

Discussed for Mayor.

Discussed for Mayor.
The Fontanelles fell for it, but the Cen
trails ''smelled a mouse" and instead Of
being endorsed for the republican nomina-
gtion for mayor by both of the republican
organizations Thursday night, John Paul
Breen was endorsed only by the Fontenelie
club and fell outside the breastworks OF
the Central Republican club. Members of
the Central club voiced the belief that an
attempt was being made to lob" the club,
and the next day many members OF the
other political organization came to the
conclusion that their club had been the
victim.
Breen men undertook to secure the en-
dorsement OF both clubs for one candidate
for mayor and laid their plans well, but
not too well. Ten members belonging TO
both the clubs met in an office in the New
York Life. so confessed one OF them. and
decided to secure the coveted endorsement
for Breen. Following this up with a plea
for harmony and declaring that the Cen
trail club would hat night endorse Mr..
Breen. they persuaded the Fontanelles to
endorse him and appoint a committee OF
five 20 wait upon the Central club.
The five marched up the hill to the head
quarters OF the Central organization, but
arrived after the club had adjourned. The
president reconvened the organization and
the spokesman from the FontaneIles told
of their mission. but got no results.
The Fontanelles have given Mr.. Breed
their mayoralty endorsement, however.
even though under a Misrepresentation, but
the Central club officials declare that their
club will not endorse any candidate prior

City Treasurer Furay has prepared a
statement for the public which he hopes
will result in prompt payment OF street
Improvement taxes by showing how rapidly
the interest counts up. Street Improvement
taxes are divided into ten equal payments
and each installment except the first. bears
s per cent interest up to the date. OF delin-
uuency. After that date a penalty OF
per cent per month in advance Is added.
The first lnstallment becomes delinquent
fifty days after passage OF the tax levy.
All the interest charges can be saved by
