We would suggest that an ordinapce

Why the Change in the Annual

Why was the annual school meeting
IN country districts changed from the
first Monday OF July to the first Mon
day of June?
The measure introduced into the
Legislature asked to have the law
changed SO that the annual school
district meeting should be held in
March. 1t appears that the legisat-
ure compromised on this proposition
and fixed the first Monday ia June.
The purpose of making the time earlier
In the year was that "A larger atteu-
dance might be obtained. Farmers
and others are usually busy in July
and II evidently was the thought OF the
Legislature tina. larger attendance
could be secured when work was less
pressing. Whether or not the change
to the first Monday in June has brought
about the desired results is not dehn-
ltely known.

the purchase in Paris OF a valuable
pearl necklace. This is noted by the
treasury department and when it is
not declared on being brought into the
United States the secret service is i'm
mediately put on the crack OF the
smuggleTs. The ensuing complications
make a vastly interesting plan and
they come so fast that they almost
trip over one another. And, accord
ing to the reviewers, when there are
not thrills there is laughter, and the
audience is kept at high tension from
the rise OF the first curtain until il de-
scends on the final act. So unusual is
the working out OF the story that the
