Petty thievery has become very common in this vicinity of late and does not alone work a hardship on the merchant, but the householder and farmer as well.

Everyone taking part performed very credibly and the successful program was highly complimented. Better to Observe Rules For some time there has been oc casional losses of goods from the Rock Island loading platform, while employes at the station were absent during the dinner or supper hour Now and then it has been found that parties expecting goods have gone to the station alter them and not find ing the agent there, have taken them without the formality of signing a receipt for them. Now, everyone is aware that this is necessary, and it would seem the best and safest way to get your goods of the agent and not just walk off with them. Under these conditions he could know at once if anything is stolen and make haste in locating it. Discuss School Matters Pursuant to a call issued to all citizens to meet and discuss their views regarding school matters, a large number gathered at the high school building here a few days ago to listen to and participate in the various expressions as to how this problem should be solved. Many are not sure just what they want done in this matter or how to arrive at a solution of the ques tion. A vote of thoe present on the matter of dissolution of the dis trict resulted 36 for to 17 against. The snag in the way of dissolution lies in the fact that there is no ap parent leadership or proeram mapped out to follow afterwards and this is one of the requirements in a peti tion for dissolution.

Had Excellent Time The Royal Neighbors Kensington club met last Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Jess Landholm. with Mrs. Harry Gillespie as assist ant hostess. A most enjoyable time was had as the ladies plied the busy needles. Following the period of work and sociability came the cli max of the meeting in the form of delightful refreshments served by the two genial hostesses. Fish Story Season Fish story season is at hand. Be hold this one. A. J. Tool with oth ers went to Meadow on May 5th to fish for the festive black bass. Not having any luck they were about to give up in despair when they per ceived a school of fish eggs, with a large black bass hovering over the spot. They cast their line, but the fish swam away. Mr. Tool, think ing not to be fooled out of his catch, made a snare of fine copper wire, which he dropped into the water and waited behind a tree for the return of the fish. After a short wait, his efforts were rewarded and he caught the fish in the snare.. Here the fun began. After a spirited struggle lasting for some time, the wire broke and the fish flopped back into the water just as he was about to land it. So much for this part of the tale. Again on May 11th the crowd went again and while fishing near the scene of Mr. Tool's experience, Jerry McHugh landed a magnificent Mack bass which had about eighteen inches of fine copper wire wrapped around its tail, evidently being the same fish Mr. Tool had come so near to land ing. When weighed, the fish tipped the scales at five pounds and eleven ounces. Come on your fishermen and beat this if you can.
