cold drinks and short order

NOTICE TO PATRONS
Please do not send your children to school be-
fore eight thirty of a morning.
There two reasons for this: first, the janitor can-
not finish his work in the afternoon, and must fin-
ish it the next morning, hence the pupils are in his
way; /econd, it is unhealthful for the child to be in
room where a dust is being stirred. The janitor
can do his work better, and it is better for your
children

attractions did not embarrass the
management by offering offen-
sive entertainments. The cold
drink stands were busy, the
hamburger stands did a thriving
business, and general good fel-
lowship prevailed all the time.
Only three accidents occurred,
and the damage in each instance
was slight. Miss Leona Hutch-
inson was thrown from her horse
in the ladies' running race when
the girth of her saddle gave way,
and she was injured about the
eyes and on the forehead. A
young man was thrown from
his machine in one of the motor-
cycle races, but his injuries were
trivial. Another young man was
slightly hurt by being struck by
an automobile.
One interesting feature was
the call of the people for H. L.
Thomason of Looney, with his j
ten boys, to appear before the
