Some DA.dies have been warbling
around, calling for literary society
for the winter to be organized and to
meet every second Friday evening.
No decision has yet been made but
the young people ought to have some
thing of this kind to go to to spend
their evenings in individual develop
ment of their abilities on the stage
and to overcome all timidity and fear
of their fellowmen while on the stage
and to instill a confidence within
each one to think and speak while
standing before an audience. Here's
hoping that such an organization may
be forthcoming.
School work is progressing nicely
and the students are advancing well
in their work. The different depart
ments are doing their quota of work
and in some instances are doing more
than the scheduled rate. The school
kindly invites all that are interested
and especially those patrons who have
children in school, to visit the school
and become acquainted with the in
structors, see just what is being done
and how the gymnasium of the mind
is being operated. This invitation is
open and kindly extended to all.
Mrs. James Altman, who has been
visiting her daughter and family in
Emporia, Kansas, the past six weeks,
returned Sunday. She was accom-
panied home by Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Waite, who will visit friends and rel
atives here for a few weeks. Mrs
Waite is a granddaughter.

decker store at 1880 and autos will
be provided.
A roller skating club is rumored
among the high school students for
the ensuing year. A club skating rink
is usually more satisfactory because
one always knows who the crowd is
to be composed of, and also the order
is far better than public affair.
