A PLEASANT AFFAIR

By special invitation We scribe at.
tended the box supper and entertain
ment at Oak Grove (Pickle) school
house on last Saturday night, the 18th
inst, and to say that he pronounced
it the best program, as well as rem
dered the best, of any other program
he ever listened to, is barely giving it
justice; and to say that each and ev-
cry one did his or her part well is to
express it mildly, indeed, and speaks
volumes for the untiring efforts and
ability of the teacher, Miss Gladys
Thompson, who is now teaching her
second term at this school house.
The long and excellent program
required just three hours to complete,
and the greatest reason of its unus-
ual length was because of the awful
ly crowded condition of the house
which hindered the children from get
ting to or off the stage, except in and
out of the windows. People We're
there from Flat River, Libertyville,
Avon, Coffman, Pennington and
Sprott, and because of the excellent
condition of the roads, the grove
around the school house was full. of
autos, buggies and wagons, and be-
sides the house being crowded, fully
as many more were outside. But
can't help but say more about the most
excellent rendition of the parts by the
different actors. Noah Wampler,
Miss Jewel Gregory, Miss Gladys
Thompson and Hiss Harriet Gregory
were, according to our judgment, the
leading stars of the program in the
order of their names; but they all did
well, even to the little tots; and the
rendering of Crock of Ages" was the
height of the climax of it all; and the
deep solemnity of it caused many
eyes to fill with tears.
Two outside speakers were invited
to be present to speak, but the crowd
ed condition of the house and the
slowness of the rendering of the pro-
gram made it too late for any out
side talks. The 80 boxes were sold
by John B. Wampler and brought
$36.6S; and box Of candy went to
Miss Fannie Counts as the most pop
ular young lady present and brought
1895, with Miss Elsie Silvey a close
second. A towel and bar of soap
were voted to Ted Horn, of Chestnut
Ridge, as the one who had the dirtiest
face, with several others running
close race. The total proceeds amount
ed to $5S.S7.
The president of the Pennington
High School Literary Society and the
vice president most cordially invited
the teacher to bring her students and
render a portion of their program in
the Pennington High School on
Friday night, April 5, 1918.

One of the interesting things about
the National Conference of Social
Work is that among its officers and
committee chairmen, and in every
place, women are as much IN evidence
as men and there is shown in every
way the equality of men and women
in the Conference. 1t is interesting
to note how the intuitiveness of wo-
men leads them to a very direct at
tack on social problems. Mrs. Jessie

the general subject "a square deal

GOVERNMENT FIXES
PRICES OF CEMENT

The State Highway Board is in re-
ceipt of information direct from the
United States Office of Public Roads
to the effect that the Government has
fixed the prices of cement for use in
federal aid road construction. The
cement plants at Hannibal, Mo-, and
lola, Kansas, will be required to de-
liver cement at $3.50 per barrel dur
ing the first four months of 1918.
This explodes the theory that the
government will not sanction federal
aid road construction during the pc
riod of the war.
