Additional Church News On Page 12 injoy wRieiivfc SPEARMINT AT THE SHOW ITS A FRIENDLY COMPAMIOH tiAII A1 -rl i,SE " ' : -i Saturday Tbraarj 1853 Monday, Feb. ; 4, on a proposal, to transport high school students to Mill City next fall. The polls will be open from 8 to 9 pjn. at the high school. Debaters favoring attending school at Mill City alleged the fol lowing points: More economical education, better social activities, a larger field of subjects to choose from and more competition due to a larger student body.
