ively bid It in for taxes. A consid-
eraible sum of money is involved la

cials, allowance to paupers and wel
fare, etc. Sheriff Matthews rendered

ed in checks covering Anos and for
feitures amounting to nearly a thou
sand dollars which will iielp to boost

HAS BEEN FIXED
Committee in Charge Gives Out
No Details But Assures
Public That Everybody
Can Attend Free
Friday night, the 11th, is Com

Parent-Teacher Association, siponsor
for the event, feels sure that the
committee appointed to arrange -for
the “Follies” Will make go-jd when
the curtain rises at 7:30 o’clock.
As to what there will be to see, noth
ing is given out to Ohe mere pulblic
except that The News learns there
will be a monstrously large and flue
cake given as a prize for the cake
walk, and that the old-fashioned and
now extinct quadrille will he revived
for the evening. Also, it is hinted
there wlli be some fancy stepping
known in terpsichorean -pai lance as
clog dancing.
Various and sundry sweetmeats
will be offered as tempting bait fur
the nickels and dimes that might

which can be put to serviceable use
by the P. T. A. "Money’s! wortih’*
will bte guarhuleed. however, oiil
everything Invested in—returns fo
be gained either in value of articles
purchased or in joy derived. So it’s
squarely up to the joyfully Ino.Mneil.
The P. T. want.s to buy a cur
tain and other stage fixtures for the
new auditorium. Atten(diants at the
concert Monday night realized the
miseralble awkwardness in having
performers appear and disappear
right before the uncompromising
gaze of a critical audience. 'While
the superior grace of tibe l.idy hold
ing the stage Monday night enabled
her to lift and lower an Imaginary
veil in delectaible fashion, yet there
are times -w-heu the emlbryo artists of
local talent find it almost unlbeara$>!y
emfbarrassing to have no “cover.”
The stage needs a curtain, you under
stand, an-d the P. T. A. is going to
furnish it. That’s It.
But for Community Night the lack
of a curtain wHl n-ot be noticed—
may not 'be needed, in fact, because
everybody will -want to see every
body. This opportunity will be giv
en. That’s wthat is Intended. And
if you don’it attend you will miss
seeing everybody and everyfbody will

So is everybody else.
