faded she placed 1t on the front porch
with the rest OF her flowers. and
never imagined that 1t would bloom
before another year.
A short time ago she was astonish-
ed to find that the lily was budding.
and now IL has three blossoms larger
and more fragrant than those 1t bore
at Easter time. Mrs. Jenkin is a

could live in a flower garden but

rest OF her flowers. She thinks that

MATAWAN
SCHOOL VOTED
Proposition is Carried by So
Votes in Township Bor-
ough Election

MATAWAN. March 14:-Although
yesterday was the thirteenth it
proved a lucky day for Matawan
borough and township, inasmuch as
the new high school building appro-
priation was carried last night by a
majority of f~ifty-nine votes. The
voters were requested to mark their
ballots on three different items: one
the appropriation of $125,000 to
erect a new school building of fire
proof constructions; two, authorizing
the Board of Education to issue 125
bonds of the district at $1,000 each,
and third, that the bonds cov.r a
period of thirty years.
During the past week or ten days
the prospects for the new school did
not appear any too bright and the
results of the election last night is
considerable surprise throughout the
borough and township. 1t was
thought that the rain and heavy
roads would be the means of keeping
those in favor of the new school
home, and it was feared by many
that those who did not see the need
of the new building would carry the
election.
The vote as registered showed 125
for the building and sixty-five against
its construction. The plans for the
school have been prepared by J..
Nobel Pierson & Son of Perth AM
boy. 1t is expected to have the school
ready for use at the opening of the
fall term,
