Professor Hanson. Considerable dis
cussion was brought about by mo-
ton to donate the proceeds over to
the Red Cross. Some thought the
money ought to be used to get rid of
the dump which is just across the
street from the play ground and in
warm weather is menace and a
nuisance to the people residing in
the vicinity and to the teachers and
children attending school. After a
motion for the chair to appoint a
committee of ladies to confer with
the village board to try and better the
condition and try to get it for a pub
lie park, the motion was carried to
give the money to the Red Cross.
After the exercises, light refresh
