and
Buy Thrift Stamps
Property to the amount of
about $800 has been destroyed at
the school house since the close
of school last spring through the
vandalism of boys so the author­
ities claim. The boys entered
the buildin g by breaking in
and proceeded to satisfy their
destructive tendencies by wreck-
ing about everything in sight.
Among the articles ruined were
a piano and two magnifying
glasses, the latter valued at $150.
It is said there are about 15 boys
implicated, all of whom are
known to the authorities. Dep­
uty Sheriff Lee Noe was in
Nysss Thursday investigating
the matter, in connection with
the school board, and put the
culprits through the third de­
gree. He did not intimate what
action would be taken to bring
the offenders to justice.
This is not the first time sim­
ilar depredations have been com­
mitted at the school house,
though never before has the
amount of property destroyed
been so great, and there is a
general feeling in the community
that some action must be taken
to prevent a repetition of such
work. Their actions can no
longer be classed as boyish
pranks, but have become crim­
inal, and the law must be in­
voked to stop it-
Rebekahs Initiate 5
and Give Banquet
The local Rebekah lodge put
on degree work at their meeting
Wednesday evening and a class
of five were initiated into the
mysteries of the order. Those
initiated were: Arthur Cook,
Mrs. Ernest Zahller, Mr. and
Mrs. Dallas Duncan, Mrs. Nettie
Cook. A contingent of Rebekahs
from Ontario were present and
put on the degree work, giving
the candidates all the latest
thrills in the initiatory work.
After the initiation a banquet
was served, to which all did am-
pie justice. Those present from
Ontario were: Mrs. Geo. Lyells,
Mrs. Poorman, Mrs. Brown, Mrs.
Boyd. Mrs. DeFoe, Mrs Draper;
Mrs Jones.

Parma Notes
The Radcliffe Chautauqua closed a
three day engagement Friday evening
with a concert by the David Duggan
Co. and a lecture by Prof. Adams. A
feature of the evening that was great­
ly enjoyed by the audience and heartily
cheered was the wood sawing stunt by
Ernest Wilson, which was the penalty
for being defeated In the ticket selling
contest. He made a bit by the ex­
pert manner in which he sawed his
board in two, but refuted to respond
to an encore and gracefully retired
from the stage amid much cheering.
