Trinity Parish House.

The improvements of the interior
of Trinity Parish House was COM
pleted a few weeks ago. The stage
has been removtd from the north end
of the hall, the gallery in front of the
building strengthened, and the piano
placed there and chairs for musicians
provided. The removal of the stage
gives room necessary for parties and
suppers, and other parish gatherings.
Repainting and decorating gives the
hall neat and pleasing appearance.
The work was done by the members
of ST. Georges Guild and the Ladies'
Guild, under the direction and with
the assistance of the Rector. All arc
entitled to credit for the good work
performed.

Deposit Mail Early.

The Importance of mailing letters
and parcels as early in the day as
possible is sought to be impressed
upon the public by the postal author
tiles. The Postmaster General says
that if the public, especially the
large users of the mails, will follow
the Governments lead in an earnest
effort to cause frequent mailings,
there will be certain consequent ad-
vantages. Patrons of the Mineral
Point Post Office should if possible,
mail all packages and letters for dis
patch on the 1:25 train not later
than 1890. This mail closes at 1:O5
1t assists greatly in. the makeup of
mails when letters are deposited
early. The effort for improved mail
service is entitled to Incorporation
asked for. ID

Parish Supper and Party.

The gathering on Thursday even
ing at the Parish House of the mem
bers of Trinity Parish proved a
pleasing event. Supper was served
at siX-thirty, and at it's close Mr.. Cal
vert Spensley was called upon for a
talk on his trip to Bermuda. He was
pleased to be at the party together
with Mrs. Spensley, both of whom en-
joyed and were benefited by their
stay on the Island. He liked Ber-
muda all right, but said so much of
"God save the King" at their doings
and services did not appeal to him as
an American. He cOmplimented the
Rector and other church workers
who had changed and beautified the
Parish House.

Mineral Point High School.

The track-meet which was to have
taken place at Darlington Friday was
postponed indefinitely because of the
condition of the track. In spite of
the fact that the meet could not be
held a group of some twenty-five stu
dents went down to hear the League
made by our speakers was fine, and
although we did not take first or
second places our boys pushed into
third, fourth and sixth places-Geo.
Fielder, third; Irwin White, fourth;
and Wesley Martin, sixth. In COM
pairing our speakers to those of the
other schools in the league we may
say that our school stands high by
the records made this year and next
year our school will no doubt push
on to still higher records.
An inter-class track meet was held
on Monday afternoon. The points
made by the various classes were as
follows: Juniors, Sc; Seniors, % II;
Sophmores, 20 IL; and Freshmen, 6.
The individual winners were: Paul
McCarville, 16A points,; Robert
Stair, 12A, and Allan Coady, IL.
The Junior class is preparing to
present a play in four acts entitled,
Nancy Starts Boom" 1t is de-
lightful comedy-drama, the scene of
which is laid in a small country vii
lage. 1t is intensely human and al
though filled with humor there are
also some very touching parts. About
fourteen Juniors have been selected
to make up tn cast and Miss McNutt
is constantly at work supervising re-
hearsals. The date of the presenta-
ton and further particulars of the
play will appear in this column next
week.
The Seniors have been at work on
their class play which they will pre-
sent about two weeks after the Jun
ior play. 1t is a comedy in three
acts entitled, "And Home Came Ted
The best talent in the class has been
selected to fill the cast of twelve peo-
pie. The play is one big scream with
laugh every second. Watch for the
date and further particulars in this
column.

Cleanup Week for Mineral Point

be sent out to haul away ashes and

AN IMPORTANT TRUTH.

AN IMPORTANT IRUIH.
If there is one truth more than
another that the writer, through the
press, has sought to impress upon
the people of Mineral Point and upon
the people of the surrounding terri
tory it is, that their interests are mu
tual. That which retards the pro-
gress of the city retards the progress
of the country round about. 1t is
therefore of the utmost Importance
that country and city should work to-
gether for advancement. The form
er has much to offer the latter; and
the latter has much to offer the
former. We are constantly hearing
about patriotism; but he is true
patriot who by his love and work for
home and those about him gives
proof of his love for his country and
its institutions
The practical question for us to
here consider is, Are we unitedly
working for the welfare of our city
and surrounding country as we
should work? Changed conditions
i've farmers and stockmen about us
are striving to secure reasonable re-
turns from their lands, and are con-
fronted with lower prices for their
products. Merchants and other bus
mess men have their own problems
to solve Goods which were pur-
chased on a high market must be
sold at greatly reduced figures. And
further, it is no secret that trade
which rightly belongs to Mineral
Point goes elsewhere. Be the fault
so. 1t is no consolation to know that
like conditions prevail in other small
cities. The fact remains that the
practice of buying away from home,
if long continued, must work harm
to the community.
What we plead for is, team work
by our city and adjacent territory.
1t brought advancement to us in the
past, and by it we can make ad-
vances in the future. 1t was team
work on the part of Mineral Point
citizens that established our great
zinc works, which for nearly forty
years has given constant employment
to many laborers, and furnished a
market for the ores from the zinc
and lead region of Wisconsin and
elsewhere. 1t was united effort,
which secured to us our fine High
School building and good schools,
with tuition pupils for 1920 adding
to the school fund the sum of $3,S7S.
1t was united effort on the part Of
women of the city who twenty-five
years ago laid the foundation for
Mineral Points fine public library,
which was not gift, but is gladly
supported by the community and ac-
knowledged to be as large and well
selected a library as can be found
outside of the big cities, serving
country as we'll as city patrons. 1t
was united effort which gave us our
Municipal building, with its fine
Theatre, and we'll appointed offices.
1t was team work that always made
our Field Days and Fairs successful,
and will do so this year.
It is because we know that unity
of effort will bring desired results
that we write these things. G. G.
