SCHOOL LUNCHES

In behalf Of the r. &. and myself
| wish to thank the members of ths
Altar and Rosary Society who SC
readily responded with u check FOL
ten dollars towards the starting oi
of the School Lunch Fund.
Never before has the need for such
an enterprise been more marked and
urgent than At the present time.
They are your own children. You
are depending upon them for the fu-
ture. You want them to go ahead at
school. How can they when such II
large percentage OF them are defec-
tive aud undernoutished. Most OF
them come from large families. The
mothers are over worked and as
u result the children are oft-times
sent to school with q drink OF water
and a slice OF bread. How can they
absorb their studies and understand
the teachers. A sturdy body las u
sturdy mind and under present con-
ditions many OF the children are
spending two and three terms In one
class. Is the community benefting
from such n condition?
Though II Is late In the season we
must make n start to serve hot
lunch at the school 80 that we may
lose no time and may go ahend from
the beginning Of the next term.
Ifali the societies whom ] applied
to would give this serious thought
and their cooperation they would
soon realize that the expense Is only
a fraction In comparison to the cause
and result. They would also realize
that no one individual would be tax
I'd or made to feel that II was bur
den or an obligation.
School Lunches are carried on in
every city In the United States as in
England and other European coun-
tries. In small towns where children
have many miles to travel to and
from school 1t is II life necessity and
| know of no place where it IL need
ed more than IN Meeker. The need
is urgent.
Please help me by helping this
sentiment which In turn helps you.
A>nurse In community is at n loss
without the help and cooperation Of
the individual members and societies
resident thereof.
Cordially yours,

STRAWBERRY sQUIBBLEs

The Rio BlAnco Grange, No 1886.
held the monthly meeting at the
wberry School House, March IL,
1922 with good attendance and
great deal Of Grange work was car
ried on.
The most important question, up
for dicussion was the railroad and
coal strikes, which to be possible as
taking place in April. This will cause
coal production to cease and suffer.
ing to millions of dependent people.
Although the supply of coal above
ground Is now estimated rs sufficient
for the coming four months, any
stoppage Of production will result in
higher prices in the future.
This will come less directly to our
people than those living in the cities.
But for the interest OF all, We feel it
pressing financially to us as Grangers
aud all people in general.
The stoppage of coal production
will cause suffering and the co,npar-
ativsly small group of men and in
terests SELLING the opportunity of i'm
posing human misery in order to i'm
pose their will and refusal to deal
fairly with each other and make
others pay the penalty is without
reason in this nation and time.
The railroad strike means farm
products to remain unsold and spoil
in the barns, which will probably
mean famine and death in cities.
The April strike at planting time
will wreck the plans for the coming
seasons crops, because of the piled up
supplies In the railroad yards while
the fields wait for seed, machinery
and other necessities of the farm.
Therefore the farmers that are do
ing their part to recover from the
hardshlps of this war, which we have
just passed through and declare the
rights to demand that both capital
and labor do theirs.
The Grangers feel that they in nc
way are to be used to further the In
terests of one over the other.
These Grangers have taken the
stand and are working against the
strikes that are threatened and will
check commerce.

Practically this would work out as
follows: The Lessee will be Obliged
under his lease to keep the plant In

with the Town standing standard de-

Mr.. and Mrs. Taxpayer:
Here are some things you probs-
bly, are wondering about and want to
know In making your decision on
how to vote on the Light Plant Bond
Issue.
You probably know that the entire
system has been appraised In the
manner provided in tho franchise by
three expert, nonresident and distn-
terested electrical engineers of ex-
cellent reputation and standing. In
this manner the valuation Of the pre-
nt-system was determined to bs
s24, ,426.07. The appraisers report is
on file in the office OF the Town Clerk
and Is open to inspection. II you
question the valuation perhaps you
had better look over this report and
see how absolutely fair it is.
You want to be assured also II you
buy this plant that the waste and ex-
travagance usual In the opera
tion of municipality owned util-
tiles will be eliminated. This has

In conformity with this deterini-

no Congress has ever accomplished

Fresh eggs are fairly plentiful
and there is a good demand fol-
fine stock. Held stock is not
wanted and sells at a discount
Prices on fresh eggs dropped
seven cents a dozen in New
York during the past week, as
the supply was greater than the
demand.
Poultry receipts were not
quite so heavy, with prices prac-
tically unchanged. Smaller kinds
such as the Mediterranean breed
brought less than larger birds.
Butterfat production is about
the same as year ago, with
good demand noted for consum-
ing trade.
The excess butter in storage
on September l has been greatly
reduced and supplies are now
pretty clooe to requirements
The stocks in storage in Chica-
go, New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia are now less than {

Extra fall and winter feeding
will bring increased returns.
