would make even $50. The younger
pupils are taking hold of the matter
enthusiastically, some OF the little
girls selling buttermilk, etc, to
help out their respective class.
Mrs. ". y. Flemlng's class Of
small boys decided on giving n
unique entertainment To which they
charged cents and 10 cents admis-
sion. 1t came off last Friday even
ing at Mrs. Fleming's home. She
had arranged the attic Of her home
for them, seating it with about 10
chairs and decorating 1t with Amer
lean flags and snow balls. The boys
had advertised their show by per-
sonal invitations to their friends,
and the result was surprising to
Mrs. Fleming. Every chair was
occupied and move had to be taken
to the attic to accommodate the pa
irons. 1t was regular small boy
show and each one did his stunt in
a way that was highly amusing to
the large audience, each one Of whom
