Clean up Story
The boys of the U.S. School
turned out one afternoon with
sleeves rolled up and cleared consid
erably on the front campus. Several
gymnastic apparatus were built,
such as horizontal and parallel bars
Pat Edenshaw cleared the
rubbish and old shacks off his lot.
last week while the mill boss was
away. So did Tom Nagle, the fire
man in the mill. Jimmie Wallace
caught the fever next. His lot is
about clean of stumps. Jones, our
cartoonist, has neglected his art for
several weens for more strenuous
exertion needed to clear his lot of
two large stumps. Jon s bot the old
Mary Kenown place and intends to
let his artistic temperament function
thru the effective use of the pick
shovel, mattock; cross-cut saw and
axe, instead of with fine diamond
pointed wood engraving knives until
the lot will rival the appearance of
that cleaned by John Meyers. The
young people are taking notice.
A heavy cloud of gloom covered
the town when the word came out,
that the little two year old Mar
garet Burgess was fatally burnt
having along with other children
started a fire in a pile of grass and
fallen face down into the fire, at
2 p.m. At four p.m. the flag was
lowered to half mast. The little soul
had gone into dreamless sleep.
The father came home just before
she died. Her mother succumbed to
the flu last year. Billie Burges has
now only his four year old boy who
iscared for by Mrs. Kogo.
