School District Votes to Build.

At a special business session of
the Orleans Incorporated school dis
trict, the meeting was called to order
with M. M. Taplin as chairman and
Miss Florence ellis acting as clerk,
in the absence of A o. Austin.
The warning was read and the fol-
lowing bushes was transacted:
Charles Taplin made a report for
the special building committee that
was authorized to make full inves-
tigation of the requirements for an
plans and estimates. No definite re-
Communications were made by the
committee, but very carefully made
plans which had been prepared by
c. M. Dwinell were submitted for in
spection. After Dr. Wells, Superin-
tendent Erwin, and Prof. Robinson
had explained the advantages and
state requirements for a modern, up
to-the-minute school building, Mr..
Dwinell went over the floor plans
and elevations very carefully and an
swered questions until the people
were made familiar with the plans
under consideration.
By unanimous vote the report of
the committee was accepted and
adopted. On motion of Harry Dick
ems it was voted to adopt the plans
as submitted by Mr.. Dwinell with an
amendment made by Charles Taplin
that the building committee be author
lied to make such minor changes as
they thought advisable.
AS Mr.. Gross was away and Mr..
French had rendered his resignation
from the building committee, it was
voted to add the names of G. M. OWN
ell and j. B. Cotton to that committe
On motion of c. D. French ii
was voted to authorize the trustees
to hire the money and proceed with
the building, which it was estimated
would cost about $4,000.

VICTORY!

The o. II. S. girls basket ball team
won the game played at Richford
last Thursday night. They led the
score until the close of the third per-
iod when both teams were tied. The
score at the end of the first period
was 4 to 2, the second period, 6 to
a, and the third period 6 to 6. Two
extra five minute periods were play
ed to determine the winners. In the
last of these periods Orleans made a
basket making the score 8 to 6. A
good clean game was played by both
sides. The Orleans team was under
handicap during the early part of
the game due to the long floor in the
school gymnasium to which they were
unaccustomed. The Richford people
were very generous in their cheering
for the visiting team. Upon arriving
the visitors were met by the R1ch-
ford team who took them into their
homes and extended to them every
pssibIe hospitality. The climax came
however, when on the return trip the
train was held up in Highwater fol
seven hours. The girls were very
hungry but no relief came since the
villagers were asleep and the tran
carried no dining car. The line VI
of the o. III. S. girls was as follows:
Center, Thelma Stearns; right for
ward, Vera Gotta; left forward, Prs
ella Alden; right guard, Doris Dick

and substitute Leila Smith.

PREYs ON HARMFUL RODENTS
According 70 This Writer, the Owl Il
Really = Good Friend OF the
AgrieuiturtsG

Superstition still ciings to the owl.
due largely to ignorance and lack of
discrimination.
When twilight falls the owl comes
forth from some remote recess where
It has spent the day in sleep, and ut
tering a peevisii cry. hurrtes out upon
its foraging expedition. As the tired
farmer is lost in refreshing sleep. this
bird, against which the hand of man
has been raised for centuries, com
mences its beneficial work which only
ceases when the first rays of the
morning sun come slanting over the
hilltops, binding its eyes and sending
1t quickly to cover.
The great orbs of the owl are re-
markably developed and are keenest
in the early hours of the night and
morning. when many harmful rodents
are most active Marvellous, indeed, is
the sight that enables It to strike the
tiny mouse In the darkness.
Owls are the natural check upon
this multitude, and thus are of ines
timable value to agriculture. From
an economic standpoint, 1t would be
hard to find more useful bird.--Los
Angeles Times.

was round in compass; the thickness
was hands breadth, and the brim
shaped like that Of teacup, war
carved with lilies and leaves. The
immense basin was borne aloft by
