ACACIA CHILDREN
PURHASE VICTROLA
OF |. Y. HARDWARE

A few weeks ago, the teachers anC
pupils of Acacia country school hav-
ing come to relization of the fact
that music is quite as necessary as
curriculum in the modern institution
of learning, UNANIMOUSLY voted to pur-
chase Victrola. Ways and means
of raising sufficient funds to pay for
the instrument were discussed and
after lengthy debate it was agreed
that a box social seemed to offer the
most feasible solution to the financial
problem. Some one declared that
zest, Znp and coin would be added to
the affair if High Dollar" Iinn could
be induced to auction off the boxes OF
home made delicacies. Mr.. Hinn, ever
willing to assist any worthy cause,
consented to "cry en-
The eve of the social rolled around,
the dollars rolled in and the money
deposited in trusty coffee pot by
the happy school officials and pupils
at the conclusion of the party that
night made a noise very much like
500. A trip to the photograph de-
partment of the Imperial Valley Hard
ware Company the followin day dis
closed the fact that Victrola which
admirably met every requirement of
the school could be purchased for $40
This left $50 for records and every
one nows that thirty simoleons will
buy several sases of the fanciest
brands. of canned music. Is it any
wonder that the boys and girls of
Acacia school are full of iov and melo-
dy and that they spend the greater
portion of their sapre time these beau
tiful winter days in blowing musical
bubbles?

MEAT CONSUMPTION
IN ENGLAND DROPS
AS RESULT OF WAR
By Associated Press

LONDON, Dec. 30-Englshmen used
to be considered the greatest meat eat
ers in the world. Now, declares the So
ciety Of Meat Importers, the average
Englishman eats 33 percent less meat
than he did before the war. Unless he
can be induced to eat more OF it, the
country will be faced with such glut
of meat as it has never had before.
The annual consumption Of meat in
the United Kingdom before the war was
about 100000 tons, say the importers.
1t is now only 100000 tons. And this
they contend is due entirely to the high
cost still maintained Englishmen and
Englishwomen, too, are just as fond OF
meat as ever, but they cannot afford tc
eat as much Of it as they used to.

Dan Cupid Busy
During this Year

Dan Cupid has been working
overtime during the past year, ac-
cording TO figures obtained at the
county clerks office on the num-
ber of marriage licenses issued.
And he has been working nights
and days lately, just previous to
Christmas when seven licenses a
day were issued.
For the year, the fetal up to
last night was 437 licenses.
Just TO show how the little fell
low has been working overtime,
this can be compared with the
number issued during 1918, when
the total was only 30l.
The increase is accounted for
by the fact that the soldier boys
are back.
