HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Last Friday evening Lynden High
School met in the gymnasium for it's
annual mixer. The evenings enter
tainment consisted of contests and
exhibits, some of which rivaled the
county fair. Among the interesting
features were: horse racing, auto
racing, cooking, canning stock judg-
ing, sewing and the baby show
The two popular demonstrations
were Parker's Painless Dentistry,
and a tubercular test The tuber-
cular test was somewhat delayed and
otherwise hindered on account of
the attack made upon the cow by a
mouse which ate a portion of her
hiRdquarters while she was conceal
ed in the pantry awaiting the veteri-
arian and the butcher. After the
class yells, contests, songs, and
games, everyone enjoyed the sizzling
"hot-dogs."

ence Ehle, Walter Gaskill, Charles

CONFER ON
TROY ROUTE
HIGHWAY COMMISSION MAN Wis
ITS PROPOSED ROAD AT
BLOOMFIELD.

Bloomfield June 23.-J. G. Holden
member of the state highway commits
sion and J. Fl. Ames. a state engineer
were in Davis county this week in CON
ference with the local board Of super
visors, county engineer and the peti.
TONERS along the Bloomfeld-Troy road
and the Bloomfeld-Pulaski road, who
were objecting to certain arrange
ments made by the commission and
board
One OF the chief points of argument
was the location of the county bridge
over the drainage ditch on the Troy
road. 1t is believed that the confer
ence will result in a compromise ar
rangement. whereby all parties will at
least be partially satisfied.
One reason Mr. Holden gave as to
the necessity OF using the bridge
across the old stream bed, was the i'm
possibility Of securing structural steel
for at least a year. This means that
no. new big bridges can be built this
summer.
The use OF the steel for government
purposes, because of the war, Is ascrib
ed as being the reason for the shortage
In this metal.

mended by w. j. Dixon, chairman o!

THE FIT. Madison prison is in an
unsightly and unsanitary location.

For Anamosa. Mr.. Dixon advised a
prison camp and more land, calling at.
tention to the fact that the Michigan
state prison, because OF the large
amount OF good farm land belonging to
1t, was self-supporting.

men patients at the insane hospital
and little farm or shop work for the
men.
For the boys industrial school at
