The Two Creeks graded school has
recently installed moving picture
machine. Most of the money has been
raised by socias held thus far. The
balance will be raised later. A prom
inent Two Rivers merchant went good
for the cost OF the machine until paid.
This is the second moving picture ma
chine in the country, the other one hay
ing been installed at Mishicot some
time ago. The two cities will have to
get busy in order to keep pace with
these progressive communities. The
Two Creeks school has had some fine
programs this winter. They also had
several debates. Mr.. Roy Ihlenfeldt
is the principal Of the school and
together with his two assistants and
other progressive people of the district
is deserving much credit. 1t also
might be of interest to know that this
first class graded school is located right
out in the heart of farming commun-
ity. The nearest farm house is almost
half mile away.

EDUCATIONAL.
(By G.. w. Meisnest.)

This bulletin W i'll reach the teachers
too late to remind them of the Corn
Testing Week :" which was set aside by
our state commissioner of agriculture.
1t was from March u to April l. How.
ever it is not too late to do the work.
Every teacher ought to make special
effort to see to it that the corn is tested
either at home or at the school. Most
schools could well do this tor the farm
ers. 1t surely will be appreciated. Get
ready for it now.

SUGGEST PERMANENT
DEMOCRATIC CLUB
Proposed to Keep Alive the
Strong Democratic Senti-
ment in Penn TOWShlp.

Flushed with pride over their re-
cent success. local democrats are
considering the advisability of form
ing a Thomas jefferson club in
Mishawaka. 1t has been suggested
that Immediately following an cleo
ton enthusiasm among the electors
has been allowed 70 die out not TO
be revived until just before some
political event In a little more
than a years time the city elections
will be held and it is felt that such
an ORGANIZATION as is proposed will
keep alive the democratic sentiment,
and will do much towards leading
the party again TO victory.
The idea as suggested to The
News-Times. is to have the club
meet once a month at dinner in the
Hotel Mishawaka and TO have a
round table discussion on matters
concerning the welfare of the party
and more particularly as they affect
Penn township. BY this means a
strong organization of Niison-MaT
shall democrats, ready 10 do battle
when the time came, would be as
sured for the city.
II is expected that a meeting will
shortly be held TO discuss the pro-
ject and 10 take such action as may
be deemed necessary in the torma-
ton of the organization.
