BOOSTER SPIRIT
A Committee Of Booster Club Solici-
ted Merchants For Band Con-
certS. Liberal Donations

Doctors Newton and Oldaker, the
President and Secretary of our Booster
Club solicited the business men for
funds with which to again organize
the Extra Concert Band and to put on
Saturday night concerts in our little
city. The Concerts in the past years
have been highly appreciated by near
ly every one. We say nearly, because
the crowds that came to town Satur-
day evenings would fill the stores be-
fore returning home and the excep-
tion would be the clerks, who were
usual y detained to wait on the trade.
From this point, it's hard ON the
clerks but pleasant to the proprietor.
AS all great events that calls the peo-
pie from country to town whether for
amusement or for business must be af-
forded the proper treatment, we natur-
ally expect selfish motives to be cast
aside and an extra hour devoted to the
comfort of the customer and to the
profit of the employer. We learn the
sum raised is inadequate for the servi-
ces required but perhaps a few more
dollars can be raised for the purpose
and it may be that the band boys,-no
we won't ask the dear boys to blow
their heads for less than they usually
got on former occasions; SO trusting in
the generosity of a liberal hearted pub
lie we hope the amount needed will
sson be raised.
Later, the amount necessary has
been raised.

GRADUATION
Lille F. Hansen, Ethel Knudsen, Clar-
enceR r. Nelson and James 0. Hansen
Graduated From District School.

On last Monday evening at the
school in the A. p. Hansen district was
held tho first Commencement Exerci-
ses of this school. There was class of
four graduates, two boys and two girls.
After listening to tine program and
later examining the hand work done
in this school we are convinced that
these young people have been trai ned
in their grade work along the lines of
re directed education, training in the
three HIS, namely Head, Hand and
Heart. Surely the directors OF this
school are keenly alive to the fact that
education has taken new trend and
has wider range than ever before,
that it has come to mean the training
of the whole being so that he may be
able and gladly willing to meet all of
life's responsibilities.
The program was most excellent
from beginning to finish, showing
careful drill on part of teacher and
friends. The graduates delivered their
orations in mastery way for ones of
their years, and the keynote of the
whole program was work and charac-
tero in other words a we'll rounded
life. By invitations the Co. Supt. was
present and made short talk to pa.
irons and class, these remarks were
followed by presentation ol diplomas by
the State Supt. of Church Schools, who
in his closing remarks urged up the
class the realization that character
should be the major aim of life.
OF the faithful teacher who has so
conscientiously labored with these pu-
pills during the last year we would say
she is close to the ideal of the great
educator who said: "a teacher is one
who has Head enough and Heart
enough and Time enough and Liberty
enough to be Master in the Kingdom
of Life. We understand that next year
there will be added another years
work to the course of study and also
another teacher will be added to the
faculty.
Names of Graduates; Lille F.
Hansen, Ethel Knudsen, Clarence r.
Nielsen and James o. Hansen.

GIDEON WELLEs' HOUSE SOLD. St. Peters Catholic Church, Hartford
 Buys Valuable Old Property.

An historic bit of private property was acuired by a church corporation last week. when the real estate at No. II Charter Oak place, Hartford, passed from the hands of Mrs. Mary P Morris to the St. Peters Church corpora ton. The price brought by the property would not be given by either seller or buyer, but because of the extent of the land and the desirability of it's To- cation. it is assumed that the figure was high. Mrs. Morris is the widow of John F. Morris, who was secretary of the Travellers Insurance company for a number of years and director and as sociateg secretary at the time of his death, las tspring.
 No. II Charter Oala place acquired fame principally as the residence of Gideon Welles, the secretary of the navy during the civil war. MT. Welles had the naval portfolio from 1s61- to 1869. and when he gave up his duties at the end of Iincoln's sec ond administration-the administra- tion finished by Johnson after the untimely death of the war president he bought the property and lived there until his death, nine years later. The house is a pretentious one and was built by Woodbridge White in 1865. As far as is known it was the original building of the property, which is not far from Governor George Wyllys' es- tate. upon which was hidden the fam ous charter-Hartford Times.
