PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
County Fair.
A. z. GUSTAFSON. County Supt.


AS the Pine county fair for 1912
has been cancelled by the Pine coun-
ty fair board, all rural school ex-
hibits will be returned as soon as
possible. Do not send us any more
exhibits.
State Exams Results.
Diplomas were sent to all of the
1912 graduates. List of graduates
was published a few weeks ago. A
few others have been added. We
are sorry that the war conditions
made it necessary and advisable to
drop our annual graduation exer-
cises and play days this year.
All eighth graders who failed to
graduate, and all seventh graders
will be able to obtain their state
examination results from reports re-
Gently mailed to the respective school
clerks. Credit cards will be made
out and mailed direct to these stu
dents soon.
Salvage.
We were asked to make an esti-
mate of the scrap rubber collected
in Pine county during the recent
drive. With information available
we sent an estimate to st. Paul of
over 200 tons for Pine county. Hinck-
ley and Sandstone have promoted
special salvage days." The people
of Pine county are to be highly con-
graduated for the splendid results
in this scrap rubber drive.
We are now informed of the new
nationwide drive for scrap metals,
tin cans and fats. Listen to the radio
broadcasts and watch the papers for
details. Rural boys and girls can
and should have important parts in
this very necessary work.
