School Notes
Last week-end interest centered in
our tag sale for the benefit of the
school library. There was a contest
between the boys and girls to see
which side could sell the most tags.
The boys won, having earned $90.30,
which entitled them to the dollar
prize offered to the winning side at
the opening of the contest. The girls
$81.65, making a total of $172.95. After
expenses are deducted there will re
main $163.90 to invest in books.
The “four best sellers" of tags
were: Frank Angerman, $13.25;
Robt. Daggett, $10.15; Leona Church
ill. $9.50; Elizabeth O’Loughlen, $8.50.
Good books are in great demand in
our school, and we wish to thank the
Cordova public for its generous re
sponse to our appeal for help. The
books bought with this money will
form the nucleus of the library we so
badly need, and we hope to add to it
by making tag day an annual event
of the school year.

SINN FEINERS WERE
AMONG THOSE ELECTED
•
DUBLIN, March 8.—At the recent
elections several Sinn Fein leaders
wore returned from more than one
constituency. In the normal course,
if they were taking their seats, they
would have to choose between seats,
and there would be fresh elections for
the vacancies thus created. But as
no Sinn Feiner is going to Parliament
this course is not obligatory and they
have decided not to adopt it.
