A VALENTINE PARTY.

An enjoyable valentine party was
held Friday night by the Sunday
school class of Miss Sibyl Clark at
the home of Miss Eta Metcalf. The
house was prettily decorated with
festoons of red crepe paper. Large
red hearts hung in the door ways
and over two hundred small ones
were used in various ways. A large
red heart, surrounded by red candles,
decorated the center of the table,
The place cards were small red
hearts and at each plate stood two
red candles, held in place by the
tiny hearts. A dainty two-course
supper was served and the table be-
ing lighted by the candles alone,
presented a beautiful appearance.
The evening was spent in social
games and contests, the most enjoy
able game being search for hidden
hearts. The party broke up at a
late hour, all feeling that the occa-
sion had been most delightful.

guest having been requested to
bring valentine and a general
draw for them being INDUCED in the
last thing-no one knowing whose

Reduces the Bond.

The bond of the postmaster of
Webster City has been reduced from
$4,000 to 5000. This seems
strange, in view of the fact of the
addition of the postal savings bank
and the parcel post, which certainly
increases the possibilities for losses
from various causes. 1t has been
that this may be a demo-
cratic scheme, as reductions have
been made in other postmaster's
bonds in postoffices of this class. It
might be difficult for democrat to
be found who could put up $10,-
900 bond in a town of this size. But
it is apparent that Dan or Nick or
Henry are willing to try their hand

ADDRESSES MEETING
School Consolidation is Ably Discuss
ed at Meeting in Cooper
School House.

The Pleasant View Grange held
an interesting meeting at the Coop.
er school house Friday evening at
which time County Superintendent
Snow delivered an able address on
the school consolidation question.
He discussed the matter first from
the standpoint of the teacher. In
former times it was difficult for the
teacher to get school. Now the
requirements have been raised and
it is hard for the directors to find
enough instructors to go around.
Under the system of consolidation
half or less of the number of teach
ers would be sufficient to supply the
demand and they would get better
pay and a longer school, year.
From the standpoint of the stu
dent the schools would have a better
building, more cOnveniences, ETC.,
the most important point perhaps

partments of the work. The inter-
est of the pupil in the consolidated
school is much greater, due to larg-
er numbers, making possible ath-
letics, literary societies. and kindred
Class work is made
better, the interest naturally being
by the larger numbers.
Better schools also mean that stu
dents would stay longer in school.
From the standpoint of the tax
payer, Mr.. Snow brought out the
fact that the cost is not materially
greater than under the present plan,
the cost for transportation and 9TH
er things connected with the consol-
idated school being overbalanced by
the reduced number of teachers re-
quired.
A good crowd was present at the
