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.

The Morrow County Thrift Report Books have been sent to every pupil iu the schools. iSee if we cannot put Morrow county in tne lead uud over tin; top in this matter.
