bird day was observed in the schools
of Grant county. In some of the
country schools programs were ar
ranged and given; in others a tree
was planted or flower bed made on
the grounds surrounding the school
house. By reason Of the county con-
test at Lancaster, last Friday, which
was May LIST, and consequently arbor

the Herald force, had an unusual ex-
perience with watch this past
winter. All he did to the watch was
to lose it, early in February, in a

side the cow shed. Archie put it in
his pocket, expecting to carry it to a
jeweler or throw the works into a
junk heap. But 10. when he wound
