CREIGHTON CENSUS
 ID BE HOMEGROWN

CREIGHTON, Feb. 14.-Members of the Creighton Parent Teachers asso- citation held a very interesting session last Friday afternoon and put soms plans in motion which they hope will be far reaching in their results. The board of trustees having sanctioned it, ten of the members volunteered to take the census, each in her own sec tion or half section, and turn the re- suits over to Mrs. Sevringham and Mrs. Powers, who will get them into proper form and send them in to tha county school superintendent and the proceeds for the work go to pay for the Victrola recently purchased.
 The hot lunch report was eagerly listened to, as the association was anx- ious to see just how they were coming out since making the price seven cents instead of six. MT Elerick reported that as result of apples being so high now they had thought best to substi- ute cookies or doughnuts for dessert for several days. As there was then a net profit of $7.21 for the month, and as the object is not to make money but to come out as nearly even as possible, he was directed to buy fruit when the income justified it, but there was no objection to wholesome sweets occa sionally. The average number O. lunches served per day was 97; aver age daily receipts, $150; average daily expenses, $6.65: cash on hand, s19.27.

 Although a new room and teacher were added last fall, the rooms are again overcroWded and it is plain that more room will be an absolute neces- sity before another school year. In view of this condition the association appointed a committee to interview the board of trustees and request them to present a bond issue to be voted upon at the time of the regular school cleo

 very amusing as well as a decid edly embarrassing incident took place one day last week, when Miss Mauzy asked two of the older girls to go to her home and get a ball which was needed on the playground.
 If no one answers when you knock just go right in, for mother may not be at home,' said Miss Mauzy, and then added explicit directions as to where they would find the ball in a certain bureau drawer.
 The girls knocked repeatedly and when no one came they went in and began search for tac ball as directed but were unable to find it. While still searching and discussing what to do they were startled by an unknown voice demanding what they were do- ing there. They eXf.ained as quickly as possible and were met by the as- sertion, But Miss Mauzy does not live here. They moved two months ago. Then Mrs. Stahl kindly directed then to the Mauzy home, where they pro- cured the ball and returned to schoo to relate the joke on themselves.
