At a meeting Of the school board
last week it was officially ordered
that two school bonds be taken up

The Forker baseball team won
an easy victory from the Laclede
team Sunday afternoon, the final
score being ten to one. Each team
made one run in the opening
inning and no more scoring was
done until the fifth, when Forker
began to forge ahead. AS there is
a city ordinance against Sunday
games in Laclede, it is likely that
there will be 10 :,.,.c games
played here on Sunday. 4
In order that the school building
may be repaired and that the old
seats, used thirty or forty years al
ready, may be replaced with new
ones which will be more comfort
able and more sanitary, the school
board of Laclede has asked the
tax payers of the district for a
special levy of twenty cents on the
300 valuation of the district. This
levy, of course, is for one year only, |
and, if carried, will furnish the
building so that nothing more in
his line is likely to be needed for
many years. Without this ad-
1itional tax it will be impossible to
make the needed repairs and run

5he bailding was erected there was
not sufficient money on hand to
