An unusually good community
meeting was held at the school house
last Friday evening. Talks and papers
were given by Mrs. Anderson, Mr..
Cooper, Mr.. Hoadley, Mr.. Traughber
and Mrs. Livingston. The subject of
discussion was the need of COM
munity hall at Huston. Everybody
present was given an opportunity to
express his opinion after which ris-
| ing vote was taken. The sentiment
for such building was unanimous. A
committee was appointed to look fur
ther into the details of such a plan.
| We earnestly hope that there will be
no hitch until such an Improvement is
realized Let us all work together for
a bigger, better community. Let us
not let religious or factional differ
ences keep us from working together
in harmony for the good of the en-
tire community. This community is
so large, populous and rich in natural
advantages that it need lag behind no
other community in local improve
ments. This community does not need
more churches-it has three; it does
not need richer land-it has the best;
it does not need finer set of young
people-or a better set of old people,
but it does need more real community

we must have a place to hold such
meetings and entertainments. What
are we doing to make farm life more
desirable to boys and girls? What
are we doing to make life richer to
men and women? This community
needs a common meeting place where
Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians,
Free Methodists, Adventists, Christ
ians, and many others, if there are
any, in Deer Flat. may meet-forget
their differences of opinions and en-
joy RELAY socieable time with their
neighbors. Let us all line up!

The new library books are in great
demand. The list is composed Of the
best fiction by Virgins. Conner, Fox,
Wright, Dickens, Eliot. Webster, HUI
60, Meade, Roosevelt, Lodge, etc. We
feel that if an appetite for clean fc>
ton can be created in boys and girls
that their leisure time throughout life
will be prohtably spent. Surely no
other trait in child-life should be more
carefully guided and encouraged
than that of reading proper books.
Once let the love of clean books be
aroused in his life, others become dis
tasteful to him; again if he should be
allowed to read unclean. trashy books,
good~literature will not appeal to him.
Parents should give more attention to
what their children are reading. The
Henty and Alger books are not on the
approved list of particular readers.
Miss Fowler and Mr.. Mccall will

School work is progressing nicely

spring is coming.
Mrs. Livingston spent Friday night
