She certainly does things very nicely
in her school-everything neat, trim,
in place and order, which very natu-
rally sets things off to best advan-
tage. Commencement programs and
invitations will be gotten out.
The last announcemet of the "All
a Mistake" play to be given at the
Ladies' Hall next Saturday night,
March 3rd. From the list of char
acters we believe it will certainly be
"All a Mistake" If you don't come
and take it in. All the actors are
peers in their respective places, and
under the tutorage of Mrs. c. r.
Squirting bids fair to eclipse ali for
mer efforts in this section of the
country! The list of characters are
Misses Maud Johnson and Virginia
Wisdom, Mesdames H. R. Day and ].
R. and Med. Squirting, John O'Brien
and Wallace Harvey. They all GER
tainly put the goods out right and
will be worth going miles to hear.
The play will be spiced with various
forms of vocal and instrumental mu-
sic.
The program given at Duly Friday
night last we hear was simply grand
readings, recitations, critics re-
port were of the highest order or
Itop-notcher kind. To variate the
regular order of program a spelling
bee was introduced which proved
very interesting. Mrs. A. N. Day
pronounced and all on each side even
tually went down with Mrs. Katie v.
Boone and Miss Mabel Cook still
standing one on either side. Finally
Mrs B. got scared finding herself "all
alone" on her side and missed Eze-
kiel, placing an a where the other
little vowel should have been
placed, giving the great honor of be-
ing the best speller to Miss Mabel.
Our highest ideals are not always
the most real idels. The high ten
stoned, fevered brain at times pre-
sents wholly unimaginary characters
which are very fine indeed to behold
in our minds vision but when tried
out are found wanting. o, what de-
testable aspect, but found out too
late. Imaginary ideals, there is
nothing to, but real every day ideals
usually stand the tests of time.

Plant a garden, and look after it
this summer. No plot of ground
will yield greater returns in health
and money than that devoted to the
garden. Not only will a good gar
den return profit of several times its
cost, but it will provide at maximum
expense many of those things the
city family considers luxuries. Plant
a garden and give it good care.
