More Than $I,1oo Secured for
Belle Bryan Day
Nursery.

NJ late hour last night. with all but
four districts heard from the proceeds
OF FLOCK Day. conducted by the Belle
Bryan Day Nursery. had ne:tcd tha
sum of Si,l2o.2o. AS the four districts
yet unrcported are small this sum
represents practically the result of the
Block Day committee that the total
amount received will bc more than
sl.l5o. but the final count should be
completed to-day.
When asked last night abopt tho
campaign. Mrs. John w Harrison
chairman OF the committee. said. Con
siderinS everything. ". are motc thar
satisfied with the result Of Block Day.
The puhlr has responded as rule
generously. and with this sum bchn1
MS wc will be able 10 finance the nurs-
cry for til year. While Block Day is
not our chief source OF revenue. tlir
money received from that campaign
goes u long way toward dcfrayinG our
expenses"
AS the eNpens IS Of tho Belle Bryan

per month Il total OF f3,6C0 a year. it
is evident that Block Day will rny

said. looked with favor upon a direct
award TO the local firm that shall In
the opinion Of the committee best meet
the requirements. The work. nc
urged, should be done By local arohi-
tccts.
1t was objected that such a plan

the one calculated to bring the test
results.

plans was withdrawn in favor OF n

the police and detectives were unable
yesterday to turn one wheel by which
the guilty ones might lie brought to

PROSPECTIVE
A New Company Forming in Audi
bon to Take Over Light Plant.
Will Make It Efficient

A new company is about to be
formed in Audubon to take over the
old electric light plant, purchasing
it outright of Mr.. Freeman. We
believe that Bert will be agreeable
to the change and we are sure the
change would prolong his life. The
plant has given Mr.. Freeman much
trouble since its installation and
consequently has not been patron
lied as well as it would have been
had it been at all times up to its
capacity. Mr.. Freeman has done
enough for Audubon County and is
entitled to a we'll earned rest the
remainder of his days. Should this
deal materialize Extra will indeed
be glad to engage her light, heat
and power of the new plant if Aud
ubon will only connect us. The
improvement would be felt all along
the line and many farmers aud the
town of Hamlin would connect and
be benefited. The proposition is a
good one and really progressive
measure.
