question with him and his church
here now is "Can il be done the
next yearq" Both parties are
hopeful and willing to try. He de-
clares he never had a more will

says he is proud of and dearly
loves his little church. Besides
the Adair meeting Mr.. Howard
held a meeting himself--a meet
ing for boys and girls, and though
held during the holidays, was
quite a success, numbering sever

now stop him in the streets and
ask him when he will hold anoth-
err meeting for them and he has

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Marie Norstad and Raymond Derrah
Editors.

Marie Morstad wishes to thank the
writer of the Crandon high school notes
for the compliment, but she should like
to know who the writer is.
When the English class do not bring
their Macbeths to class they are politely
requested to double up.
Harry McGraw, one of our previous
editors, has resigned his position on ac-
count of not being able to take the time
away from his studies and Raymond
Derrah has been elected to take his
place, so we now have two Junior edi-
tors.
A new pupil, sophomore, by the
name of Beatrice Cady, has recently
enrolled in our High School. If new
pupils keep coming every week, as
they have been lately, we shall soon
have good sized school.
The boys gym class was organized
last week. The first meeting was de-
voted chiefly to exercises. At the close
of the meeting two teams were organ
lied, namely, the Meteors and Comets.
Clinton Alexander was chosen captain
of the Meteors and Ray DuBrucq of
the Come is. At the last two meetings
the Comets have come out victorious,
but from the present prospects the
Meteors expect to turn the tables.
In order to meet regulations made
recently by the State Normals, course
will be given at the High School, which
will make it possible for pupils gradu-
ating from our school to enter any nor
NAL school without entrance examina
tion. No new subjects are required,
but the order of the course is some
what modified.
Wednesday night at the High School
the Seniors and Juniors gave their an
nual entertainment to an appreciative
audience.
The first basket ball game will be
played at the local opera house with the
Laona boys next Friday night.

SARGENT HOTEL AT
LAONA BURNS
Monday Morning Fire De
.troys Large Modern Hotel

The Sargent Hotel at Laona burned
to the ground Monday morning. The
fire started about six o'clock in the
basement and the whole building was a
mass of flames in few minutes. The
fire department and citizens responded
promptly to the call of fire, but it had
gained such a headway that nothing
could be done to save the building and
all efforts were directed towards getting
the boarders out. There were forty or
fifty guests at the hotel at the time
and a large number barely escaped
with their lives. None of the guests
were able to save their clothes or
other effects.
Miss James, one of the clerks at the
Connor store, and Miss. Ambrose, one
of the high school teachers, both guests
at the hotel, were forced to jump from
window on the second floor, but luck
lily were not seriously injured. A num-
Der of the other guests were slightly
injured.
