Morrow County School Notes
District No. k2 gave a hox social
which cleared ;i." (in. They in
tend to buy a 50 Liberty liond
for the district, soup for hoi
lunches anil various articles for
their new school house. A. lied
Cross basket sold for !?7."y, the
proceeds of which are. to go. to
the Lena Rod Cross branch of
the Morrow couuty chapter.
The pupils in District No. 31
surprised their teacher one day
last week with a dinner served
at the school house. A few pa
trons were present.
District No. 42 cleared $77 40
from a basket social given at the
home of A. Dykstra. Only 20
baskets were sold. Games were
played and a regular hard tin e
party added to the amusement
for the evening. The money was
turned over to the pupils and
teacher. They organized a Junior
Lied Cross and paid for their
member&hip out of this fund.
They also had their certilicate of
membership framed. A mum
ber of changes in the school will
soon lane piace which win show
how the money was used.
One of the pupils from district
No. 54 who finished his eighth
grade in that school and who en
listed in the Marines a short
iime afterward, is now at Guam.
The teacher and pupils will dis
play a service flag in his honor
sixteen schools in the county
ave organized Junior Red Cross
auxiliaries. Material came so
late that other schools have not
had time to report.
The Morrow County Thrift

every pupil iu the schools. iSee
if we cannot put Morrow county
in tne lead uud over tin; top in
this matter.
Elvin Morgan, in District No

to their teacher 2."i cents for a
Thrift Card with a LTj-in nt Thrift
Stamp ulhxed thereto, and to
start then to save and continue lo

Helen captured me in midwinter,
Helen nnil I were skating. A broud
stretch of ice, smooth as glass lny he
fore us. The morning was bright ; the
mi glistened on the frosty scene; the
air was full of ozone. Occasionally
we would skate over a place where the
ice was thin and we would hear that
crackling beneath us that I have al
ways loved. This sound and th ozone
of a frosty morning are far more de
licious to tne than the song of the
birds and the fragrance of roses in
.Tune.
Helen's eyes were ns bright as the
sunlight on Hie ice; and her cheeks
had been painted Vermillion by Jack
l-'rost. We were skating along with
something of a roll, Helen's hands In
her fur lnulT, and the long hairs of her
tippit caressing her cheeks. How I
envied her that tippit. She began to
talk about the various marriage cus

girl discusses love and marriage the
fellow she is with had better be on his
guard. It indicates what she Is think

"They have some funny customs In

said. "One Is (hat if a girl loves a

him. If lie declines to do so tier re

and punish him accordingly."
"That's very (pieer, isn't it?"
In another part of Itussia where
there are several unmarried and un
provided for girls, they make a sort
of ruffle and dispose of them by lot."
"That's better."
"In Lapland" Helen continued, "they
have a dinVrcnt way still. When a
man wants a girl, without speaking to
j her he goes to her parents and asks
for her. If they consent they Inform
