To always be willing to do
whateyer duty demands of us
is an accomplishment of which
each of us should be proud. In
whatever walk of life we can
always find work worth doing
for the general good of human-
ity, Whenever duty points out
a work to be done we should
not stop to count the cost or
worry, but put our hands to the
Dlow and never loo k back .
In our work of teaching and
endevor to better general condi-
tions in the neighborhood where
we work, always look for
that which will benefit most
concerned; and we have found
work hero to do that will be a
bless ng to the pupils and patron
of the school, and we are faith-
fully trying to carry out to the
extent of our ability the task
before us. This work is to relieve
the district of the burden "f debt
inclined in the purcha of the
school rim >. Whatever we can
do to make I he load easier to
carry we deem it our duty to do
with a willingness I hat knows
no worry or discnteut. The
school is lieaitily in sympathy
with this woik and we are will-
ing to do all we can to relieve
the situation as much as posseble
And to help in this matte we
have decided to give a literary
entertainment ou Wednesday
night before Thinksgiving to
which we cordially we invite
the patrons ef the school to be
present free of charge. And at
the close of the entertainment
we will have a "pie supper" in
which we will give each patrou
and friend of the school who
feels disposed to help in this
matter a chance to contribute to
the piano fund. The pies will be
sold to toy hi eg hast bidder, and
every cent put into the fund
thus reducing the debt as much
as we can. We tako this oppor-
tunity of inviting all the young
and old women of the neigh-
borhood who would like to see
piano the property of the school
unincumbered to bring pies to
sold at this "supper!! We also
invit the male population of the
district and country round about
to come and enjoy a pleasent
caviling' and buy the pies and
help us lift the load. Now, if
there are any who feel that we
are trying to "fleece"'
them by asking them to contrid-
utr to this fund, we wish to say
to them that they are mistaken.
We only ask those who are will-
ing to help, anl to those who •
if any - do not wish to help we
wart them to come and enjoy
the entertainment and feel perf-
ectly free and welcome whether
you wish to contribute to this
fund or not. Let us all try to
make this a profitadle venture,
anb pay as far as we can on the
machine. We have only $51.00
to the credit of the school to be
paid on the piano, and there ia
a payment pue this month, and
one in May. the two papments
are supposdd to compete the
paying on the paino. The $61.00
will not pay the first payment,
and we wana to increase the
fnud sa much as possible in order
to be able to pay all that is due
in this month. There is a bal*
of $147.00 to be paid and the
fifty one dollars leaees ouly *97.
00 be liimd. We can clear the
piano bgfore school closses if we
all try and no one wi 1 feel any
burdeu whatever.
So, tell your frienbs adout the
little effort to help and ask I hem
to come and enjoy the work
with us. Everdoby talk it up
and every woman and gril tiring
a pie, and every man and boy
come and duy one the Work will
soon lie doue. we would like to
have the parents visit us during
week days and see how well the
pupils are doing thair work We
