The old school house bell again
called the teachers and students to
their desks last Monday morning. The

teachers, but two, are back to work.
Mr.. Holt states that while some classes
are practically intact, others are badly
shot to pieces by the prevalence of
colds and grip.
From a long range view it now
looks as though concrete work in this
part of the country would be greatly
curtailed the coming season. Con-
tractor Alder states that at this time
cement or prices on cement for future
delivery are impossible to get. Unless
the situation improves, contractors will
not be able to bid on Edgerton work at
the time bids are called for. Under.
these conditions it will be safe to pre-
dict a price high enough to suit all
property owners.
Father and Son week, Feb. 1922,
is going to be observed in many COM

the details of just how Edgerton is to
observe it are not completed, it is quite
likely to be put over in big way.
There always was need of fostering
comradeship between fathers and sons,
but in the present time of unrest and
far-reaching change nothing is more
needed than just the thing that getting
together of dads and boys produces.
