work of the few who are at least try
ing to do something for the commun-
ity. Doubtless the officers of the Pa
rent-teachers' association make their
share of mistakes and for all we know
they may make more than their share,
but the charitable way, the common
sense way, the public spirited way, is
not to knock, but to join in and de-
vote our energies to putting the Pa
rent-teachers' association where it
should be.
Recently, during his wife's absence
from home Bob Cannon had to keep
house for several weeks. Upon Mrs.
Gammcn's return she missed all her
dish towels and her husband informed
her that Mrs. Farney and Mrs. Quinn
by had borrowed them. Mrs. Cannon
swallowed the tale alright until one of
the neighbors referred to the terrible
odor of burning rags and investiga-
ton brought out the fact that Mr..
Cannon had burned the dish towels
as fast as they became dirty.

The Finley grangers appreciate the
work of the Courier-Reporter artist
who made such faithful sketch Of the
oiled road as published last week
Several people have complimented the
editor for describing the road so ably
as to make such drawing possible
but we disclaim all credit, for the
sketch was too true to life to have
been made from mere verbal descrip-
ton, and we know the artist must have
travelled the road himself.
Grange st. Patrick's Day party and
L
have been rendered by the new phono-
graph, but the machine could not fill
the bill. This was partially due, nc
doubt, to the fault that the operate,

needles. Thanks to Mr.. Engalls and
his auto other music was soon pro.
cured and the dance went on gayel
than ever.
The next social and possibly the last
of the season will be Leap Year and
April FOOLS party, Friday, March 81
1lLecturer Lyons has taken charge OF
the arrangements and promises the
best party of the season. A good pro-
gram will be prepared and he will see
to it particularly that some amuse-
ment is provided for everyone, young
or old. This time it will be up to the
ladies, for the men are all supposed to
have lady escorts and on those who
come without escort special entrance
tax will be levied, sort of income
tax. All the young fellows are advised
to look after their charms and spruce
up so they will be invited. The ladies
are asked to wear some foolish cos
tunes, if nothing more than a paper
fools cap-tho the more foolish the
better, and it is hoped that all will en-.
| ter into the spirit of the occasion and
comply with this request. There is
one day in the year when we are ex-
pected to be fools, so let's do good
Job. The men are all asked to bring
sandwiches and cake. but down in his
heart we know Mr.. Lyons hopes they
| don't make the sandwiches and bake
the cakes themselves, but call on the
ladies for aid.
| The regular business meeting OF
the Finley Grange will be held next
