der the direction Of Miss Warren.
Those who had the good fortune of
being present declared it was the best
thing they had been to for a long
time. A great deal Of interest is be-
ing felt by the people in this COM
munity on this subject and Supt.
Frederickson and Supt. Gullickson
are to be congratulated on the sue
cess Of their first meeting. We hope
there may be others in the near fu-

walked five miles to come in to at
tend the meeting and then walked
home again in time to do the chores.
That's the stuff that great and sue

ley give that boy Of yours large
piece of ground to use as he pleases.
He will pay you big.
