School Board Buys Property.

The school board of the DEBORAH
public schools purchased the Eu-
gene Rosenthal residence property
on Winnebago street, adjoining the
school grounds, and it will be held in
reserve for engagements to the
school grounds. AT the adjourned
meeting of the board Monday the an
nual report of the treasurer was
presented, and the board made the
levy for the ensuing year, for general
fund S21, 900. This levy reduces the
amount estimated $500, as the
board does not anticipate building
this year. Another feature is that
the last payment on bonds is pro-
vided for, thus leaving the district
clear of Indebtedness. ~

The Calmar Red Cross.

The people of Calmar have GER
tainly done themselves proud in the
Red Gross contributions. They have
turned in the sum of $1,243 to
Treasurer Ben Bear. Other towns in
the county have done fine also, but
we haven't been handed in a report
Of the amounts. Spillville certainly
did itself proud on July 4, and took
in a big sum, we understand $500
for the Red Cross benefit. Castalia
is another town that did itself proud.
In fact the county, as a whole has
done remarkably well.
