in having a new schoolhouse erected.
 A. L. Rogers introduced resolu- ton authorizing the school committee to purchase a portable building at a cost not in excess of s750. H. A. Castle offered an amendment making the appropriation not more than $500. Chairman Freeman immediately call ed for a vote on the amendment S. P. Williams protested as he claimed the matter should first be open to discussion. John Larson argued that the state law will not permit of the use of wooden building for school purposes. Anyway he didn't think a portable building would be of any use and he introduced a reso- lution for the erection of a four room addition to the Grammar school building The motion, however, was not seconded.
 s. P. Williams and John F. Lamb also attempted to discuss the proposi- ton but they were interrupted by Chairman Freeman, who insisted on having a vote taken. He character ized debate on the amendment as foolish and despite protests from both MT. Williams and Mir Larson, he called for vote. The amendment was then carried, IT to 10.
 MT. Williams, discussing the reso- lution as amended, thought the school board had the wrong idea. He believed an expense of about 1,2O0 will be entailed by the purchase of the portable building. He considered | it impossible to determine the needs of the town at this time and he thought two sessions in the school would solve the problem temporarily
 He did not consider that the town was getting full value for the invest
 ment in its schools and he thought | the buildings should be used for | longer periods each day.
 Members of the school committee could give no satisfactory answers. to questions as to how many children |. would have to be accommodated this fall or if the portable building would satisfy the needs of the town for any ] specific period. They advanced the argument that a portable building could be erected anyway at an ex- pense that would not exceed the in- terest for single year on the amount the town would have to lay out iu building a substantial addition to the Grammar school house. Hence they did not believe there was chance of suffering any financial loss by accepting the proposition. They had figured the problem from several angles and could arrive at no other conclusion.
 When Mr. Williams again arose he inquired of the chairman if he was in order. You are now but you weren't before,' MT. Freeman replied. MT. Williams took umbrage at what he terms the chairman's sarcasm, claiming it was entirely uncalled for. He declared he had attempted to de- port himself in gentleman1y fashion and the chairman was overstepping

"I won't! won't! she interrupted T won't stick myself beside that col lege lady, and have her turning up her dainty nose at the old soapmaker. You can take her and go-but you can't take both of us!" Tn vain Billy coaxed and urged. EAe was obstinate, and somewhat sadly he had taken that girl" and gone. Mrs. Holton stayed ct home and cried lit- tie, feeling herself martyr, as she pictured the blue ribbon, perhaps the red also, duttering gayly over her jars of coap.
 At last, unable to bear 1t, she got out her own driving rig and hurried to the fair grounds, arriving about noon.
 Did I get both ribbons?" she de- manded of Mary Beach, chancing up- on her almost immediately.
 Mary hesitated, and Mrs Holton went on: "I suppose Martha Jenkins got the red, the way you look"
 'The one that got first took the red, too," Mary stammered
 And I didn't get anything!" Mrs Holton shrieked; then, struck with a narrowing thought. added, Don't tell me that Martha Jenkins got both rfb- bons! If she did m leave the coun- try!"
 "No, she didn't get anything either"
 Mrs. Holton winced at being classed with Martha, in the either. but de- manded, "Who got them"

 Billy squirmed. His mothers de- s1res concerning the thrifty Sarah Jane had not been kept hidden.
 But I'll show Martha Jenkins and the whole country!" Mrs. Holton said.
 l never have come out second best on soft soap yet and I never will!" Billy doubted if the county was much interested in the matter of soft soap, but he sympathized with his mothers ambition to win the annual competition.
 Mrs. Holton was extremely saving In all her ways and had naver vast ed money on store soap. She con- sidered it the limit of shiftlessness in woman to buy instead of making the family supply, though she profited by 1t and turned many a penny from the sale of her own superior article. In her opinion to be a good soapmak- .er was the end of a girls education.
 Secure in her own supremacy Mrs. Holton laughed heartily as she told her friend, Mary Beach. of Martha Jenkins presumption.
