HOW THE PUPILS OF
THE RANNEY SCHOOL
PLANNED HOT LUNCHES

One day our teacher did not bring
her dinner. The folks with whom she
boarded sent it up to her just before
lunch time and she had warm potatoes
with gravy and biscuits.
She enjoyed them very much and
when she had finished her lunch she
said it would be nice if we could have
warm lunches and serve in the base
ment. Of course we all agreed that it
would be. So that day the boys began
to make table. In two days they had
il finished also benches.
Soon afterward we had hunt-supper
to raise money to buy oil and such
things as we needed TO carry on our
work
The next Friday morning we carried
an oil stove three quarters of a mile.
Before dismissal that day Miss Cary
told each one to bring plate, knife,
fork and spoon. Several children hav-
ing brought frying-pans, dishtowels,
ETC., and the school-board having sup
piled us with oil cloth for our table, we
were now ready for hot lunches. We
were also given cupboard in which
our dishes were kept.
Each child brought his share of vege-
tables, milk, butter, meat or whatever
was needed.
On Monday we had our meeting and
nominated our cooks, housekeepers,
bookkeeper, water carriers, and kitchen
inspector. We also decided upon our
lunches for the following week. Gerald
Nice, our chairman, always conducted
these meetings.
The cooks came at $3.50 in the morn
ing to prepare the vegetables. If there
were no vegetables they did not need
to begin work so early, perhaps not un.
til the first recess.
The housekeepers went down at q
quarter of twelve and set the table.
AT twelve o'clock we were given q
five minute recess and everyone was
ready to go down stairs at twelve-five
Q2:05) Everyone in their seats, we all
marched down stairs selecting our din.
ner pals, from the foot of the stairs
where bench was placed for them,
and all took our places at the table
where we were served by the cooks.
Before the housekeepers sat down tc
lunch they put the water on to heat
Then as soon as the children were
through eating they cleared the table
and washed the dishes. They swep
the floor and placed everything in or
der to begin the work on the following
day.
AT recess i'm the afternoon the kitchen
inspector would 90 down stairs and SEE
that the cupboard was in order, the
floor swept and everything in place. L
any work was not well done il was re-
ported to Miss Cary who informed the
housekeepers that there was work tC

tions. But we will try il again another

DENNY MURPHY OF TAFTvILLE
 HAS SIGNED WITH YANKEES

The New York Americans, knowing that this years pennant winning chances have passed is on the lookout for new material and several play CTS who at one time were in the Yankee lineup have been bought back. Tn reviewing this situataion a New York paper covered the men who were in this deal. In the American Associa : tion the Toledo team was mentioned and the player that team who has been purchased is Denny Murphy. Taft vile boy, who has been playing great ball this year with the Toledo team. The paper went on to describe the playing ability of Denny and the writeup follows:
 Denny Murphy the Toledo catcher, who will join the Tanks in the spring is said by scouts to be the best young backstop in the minor leagues
 Denny has been out of the game for the past few days recovering from a spike wound received in Tuesdays game with Milwaukee, when Butler, in trying to slide home spiked him. It is hoped that he will be back in the game within a few days.
 Fans about these parts who have seen Murphy do the backstop work have predicted that he would break into the majors before he quit the game. His pegs to the bases and his batting have many times caused the sport writers to watch him, and his signing with the Yankees has been taken as a matter of course
