.ALL THINGS COMPENSATE.

The above Is the subject OF mas
terful essay OF Emerson. The line OF
argument being that If n person loses
an arm. the other is doubly strong in
order that the balance, or harmony,
OF the body may be maintained But
in so many instances OF plays with
music, the music outshines the play,
or the play outshines the music, and
thus the eternal fitness Of things is
thrown out of balance and the COM
pensation Is failure.
In my Sammy Girl" which comes
to the Town Hall, Iron River, Monday,
August 90, the author, Mr.. l.. b. Park
er has been fortunate in producing a
military comedy with music In which
the play and the music are equally
balanced, both accentuating the 9TH
err. The comedy is said to be an ex-
ample OF Mr. Parker's very best style,
and abounds in situations OF absorb
inig interest and many novel ideas in
working out the plot. The music
which was written by Mr.. w. r. viii
llams. is OF the kind that won't come
out OF your mind" the kind that you
whistle intuitively.

membered for her excellent perform

SCHOOL WANTS SEWERS.
village and School District Seek to
Compromise on a $3.50 Basis.


At the meeting OF the village coun-
Gil last Monday night the question OF
sewerage for the Porter school was
taken up by a request from the board
of education OF Mastodon township
that some relief be given the school in
the way of main sewer TO take care
OF the sewerage OF the school house.
The claim, as made by the school
board, is that an agreement was enter
ed into between the board OF education
and the village authorities that the
village would take care OF the sewer
age. AS temporary outlet cesspool
was built but that has now become In
adequate and some outlet must be had
other than the present one.
The village authorities at that time
had a plan for system OF sewerage
and certain moneys were raised by
bonds and taxes in the sum of $4,000
TO install that system, but when they
came to the work 1t was found that II
would be impractical Just then to go
ahead with the construction work so
II was deferred and the money SO
raised was placed at interest.
When the village got around to
build the sewers it was found that
owing TO the increase in the price of
labor and material, the money raised
was inadequate and so the installing
Of a sewerage system was postponed
until after the war or such time as
Industrial conditions will warrant the
prosecution OF the work.
The demand OF the board Of educa-
ton last Monday came as complete
surprise 70 the council. There is no
written agreement and no record of
any kind binding the village and nc
member OF the present council has any
knowledge of the arrangement
While the village doesn't want to
hamper the school district, both pub
lie institutions being necessary to
the people of the place, yet they don't
feel that 1t Is quite fair for the board
to insist that the village go ahead and
undertake this great expense for the
school alone. SO, In order that all
sides may be fairly treated counter
proposition was made to the board Of
education that the sewer be built upon
$3.50 basis between the village and
the school district.
II will take almost all OF the funds
raised TO build the school sewer, but
II can be made trunk line for the viii
