With the close Of high school this
afternoon work was promptly begun
on enlarging the stage and decorating
the big room at the top Of the School
street building for the exhibit which
will be held there the last three days
of the coming year. This is the ex-
hibit which Supt, Varney was planning
to hold In the graded building when
the high school fire occurred and it was
necessary to install the high school
pupils in the required rooms. The
work on exhibition will be picked at
random showing exceptionally good ex-
hibits as In the past. Separate pro-
grams will be rendered each day and
a small admission will be charged for
evening sessions to cover expenses.
Three unsigned letters have been
received by The Banner within a few
days. All three would have been
printed had they been signed. II is a
waste of time and postage to send let
tiers or items to a newspaper Office
without signature. Signatures, which
cannot be identified like Mrs. Smith"
or Miss Brown" also are not accepted.
The Banner and other country news
papers are always glad to have items
sent In and occasional short letters on
topics OF interest, but in every com
munity there are few silly folks who
think it clever to work OFF joke on
their friends by getting some erroneous
statement into the newspaper about
them. Also there are those who like
to pay off grudge against an enemy
in similar manner. Even with care
mistakes will be made. Items left at
the office should be handed to some
responsible person connected with
the paper Sticking an unsigned item
under the door is no more useful than
sticking 1t into the fire. The Banner
Office is open from s a. m. to 1915 and
from one D. m. to 6.15, on Saturday
evenings from to $50 and often on
other evenings. Bring or send your
