STILL WHITING ron MAIL


@. X. Buttcrficld was In the first OF
the week from Crystal. on business
before the county commissioners. He
states that mail for the Crystal office
for October and November had been
received at the postoffice there just
before he left, and that two weeks agv
he received his copy OF the Press
giving an account OF the Power Coun-
ty fair held In September. No other
like community In the United States
which has a population Justifying the
operation OF four schools for It's chill
dren, and 80 near to an established
mail route, is compelled to endure
such neglect. Financial matters must
be In dreadful condition when It IL
necessary for the postoffice depart
ment to withhold the pittance which
would be required to give an adequate
mail service. Putting mail In the
Crystal office is merely placing 1t OH
time deposit. with no definite time
fixed when II will be called for. Get

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES.

Marion Kelly has been neither alb

months in the Eliason school taught
by Mrs Cora Darling.
ttt
The following are entitled to ccrtif-
icates for being neither absent nor
tardy for the month Of December:

ton, Lynn Whitaker. in the primary
room Of the Neeley school OF which
Mrs. NJ. Shelton Wilson Is teacher.
Miss Lola Skartvedt's school at
Crystal is the first to reach 100 per
cent in attendance. The fact that
some OF her pupils have long dis
lance to go and that the snow drifts
badly In the north end Of the Crystal
district. makes this perfect record
doubly interesting.
