the First National banks started to
draw our per cent interest.
After thirty-five years of faithful
service in the local schools Miss L..
V. Rutan has presented her resigna-
ton, which las been accepted by the
Board of Education. Miss Rutan will
be pensioned under the rules of the
state. During her period of service
Miss Rutan has ceen schools of this
city take great strides toward the
betterment of local education. She
has the unusual distinction of now
teaching the children of former schol-
arS.
Under the present plans of the
Board of Education the Manual
Training course to be offered in the
local schools LEI year will be equal to
any school in the state. The present
plans include the purchase of a wood
turning lathe, band saw and several
other machines which will enable the
boys to turn out excellent work. Mr..
Meacham is instructor n this depart
ment.
Mrs. O.. o. Barr and daughter are
spending their vacation at Cape May.

DR.. J.. f. Weber recently discharged
from the service of the U. S. army,
was d iOCdl FESltoE yesterday. "uilS

mission as captain and had the dis
tinction OF serving as a medical officer
with the boys from his own home
town.
The subscription for the Welcome
Home fund come up to the expecta-
ton of the committee inasmuch as
enough money was collected to over
the expenses. 1t has been found that
when all bills have been paid a bal
ance will remain in the hands of the
treasurer which will be used to pro-
some sort of fitting reception to
the boys who are still lover there"
The prospects of an Old Home cell
ebration this res are very doubtful.
The members of the committee feel
that owing to the late start it would
be next to impossible to get a cele-
bration of which they would be proud.
This committee has not gone ahead
with their plans OH account of most of
the members being actively connected
with the Welcome Home celebration
and devoted their time toward the
success of this day.
