great evergreen sparkling from bottom
to top with hundreds of tiny electric
lights, standing on the public square,
where everyone could enjoy it, Hun
dreds of towns. all over America in
tend to adopt it at this Yuletide. That
great star that twinked from the top

have shot ITS sparks into every corner
of our country. it seems.

es take charge of the exercises during
the week. and the choirs assist leading
the throng in singing, each church takes
a different night and carols are sung
around it for a week. Mr.. w. A.
Farnau after reading of this suggestion
in last weeks paper came IN tell us of
the one he had seen in Omaha, Neb.
He told of its beauty, and how every
one enjoyed it and he is so anxious for
Lancaster to have such one he said
he would gladly contribute S.. towards
it. Are there others who want il and
will assist in material way-that is give
their time and money towardit? Its not

a concrete case before the U. s. gov
ernment which she believes will test
its neutrality. Ambassador Bernstorff Is
note to Secretary Bryan regarding
food carried by the Wilhelmina, gave
assurances from the Berlin foreign of-
fee that the Office Of the American
consul can supervise the distribution
and see that the food doesn't reach
the army. 1t is learned that Germany
holds that if America insists as strong
ly that Americans have the right to
ship food to German noncombatants
as it does arms and ammunition to the
Allies its neutrality will be proven. If
the decision is against Germany the
government feels that America will
show partiality. Germany believes that
if England seizes the Wilhelmina car
go it will be "pure piracy"

FAVOR new HIGH
SCHOOL BUILDING

Last eevning a meeting of the tax
payers was held at the Grammar school
for the purpose of talking over plans
for a new grade school building to be
erected here.
The need for change was clearly
shown by statement of the over
crowded condition at present prevail
ing and the general unsanitary condi
ton of the building in use. Several
speakers were heard, among them,
j. Sheehan, w. j. Bell, Supt. J. +.
Abel, J. G. Moore, w. A. Brown and
Prof. Scott.
1t was originally proposed to build
new grade school in some other pat
of town and bond the district for
enough to make this possible Mr..
Sheehan suggested r,an which seem
ed to meet with the approval of all
present-the purchase of the present
High school building by the district
and the bonding OF the county for a
new High school building, which the
conditions there make necessity.
This plan would remove large por-
tion of the burden from the people of
the town and divide it over the county.
1t would, however, recessitate bond
ing of both county and town.
On motion of w. j. Bell, seconded
by H. w. Duncan, committee con-
sisting of Supt. J. F. Abel, Prof. J. d.
Scott and A. F. Trousdale, was appoint
ed to confer with the county board of
education and see if this plan could
not be carried out.

journed until Friday February 5, ah Z
