The Egg Contestat Torrance's
Cash Store closed Saturday night
with all kinds of fun for for tne
farmers and interested spectators.
Many townspeople called on the
phoae repeatedly to ask how the
contestants were keeping their pla­
ces, and several "hen fruit''.raisers
were on tap with a few dozen eggs
each, trying to bull the market on
the curb.
For a time it looked as though
several of the winners were going
to lose their places, but on the tin
ish nearly all kept their places of a
week ago.
Paine and Hawkinson made a
great run for first and second place,
Hawinson was in first place twice
during the last day, and fiv.e times
during the contest, but Paine final­

huge score of 7936 eggs. All former

other lots of over 1200 were brought

All tbe world loves a wedding, to

June is full of all sorts of hints for
that most important occasion.
"Phyllis Her Golden Wedding" is a
delightful poem by John Kendrick
Bangs "On tbe Training of a Hus­
band," by Emily Ruth Calvin,
ought to be read by both man and
maid as the secrets are applicable
for both and there are special hints
for the wedding breakfast by Mary
Foster Snider and for the wedding
dinner by Elizabeth W. Morrison.
In fiction the number is particular­

BOND ELECTION
The Board of Education Will Sub­
mit to the Voters the Propo­
sition of Bonding for a
New School House
At a meeting of the Board of Ed­
ucation, held yesterday to aot on a
petition, it was decided to submit
to the voters the question of issuing
bonds for the construction of anew
sohool house.
Additional sohool rooms are an
imperative necessity, and the Board
proposes to let the people of the dis
tirct deicide how it shall be provid­
ed. The proposition of the board is
to raise 920,000 by a bond issue, and
erect an eight room building for the
grades. If the proposition for anew
building fails the Board will be
driven to the necessity of fitting up
additional rooms in the basement of
the High School building, an alter­
native that will be deeply deplored
by a large element of our popula­
tion.
The problem is one of the highest
importance and has an intimate
beariug on the future welfare of
Worthington. If the cityistocon
tinue'to growand prosper the matter
must be decided acobrding to sound
public policy, whioh dictates that
the best is 'always "the cheapest in
the end. There jseema hardly any
room for argument as to the best
plan. A new building would pro
vide first class accommodations for
years to come tor the school popula­
tion of Worthington. The use of
the basement rooms would at beet
prove a temporary makeshift that
would eventually be discarded.
But the all important considertaion
is the health of the chilren. ls it
tle tots to. damp, musty and poor
ly 'Ventilated basement,
sthe^e
to
suffer injury to their health that
will curse them for life? A new
building will cost a few more dol­
lars at the beginning but is not that
more than overbalanced by safe­
guarding the life or health of a
single child?

a mere girl,
and with her husband became a
charter member of the Methodist
Episcopal Churoh of Worthington.
For thirty-five years she continued
to be one of its most aotive and in­
terested workers. She was always
the friend of the pastor and his
family and the churoh and its inter*
eets had a large place in her life.
Her death ocnurred May 18th,
1907, after four weeks of suffering
as the result of an injury received
from a fall. The funeral service
was held Tuesday afternoon at two
o'clock at the Methodist Church.
Kev. G.A Cahoon, the pastor of
the churoh, spoke briefly from the
text I John, 2 17-25, bis subject be­
ing "The Immortal Hope."
He spoke also of the life history
of the deceased and paid a tender
tribute to her memory. Rev. W. J.
Robinson, of Pine Island, a former
pastor and particular friend of the
family, spoke of his acquaintance
with the deceased and her splendid
worth, and gave added words of
oonsoiation to the sorrowing rela­
tives.
A mixed quartet furnished sever­
al beautiful selections.
The ladies of the churoh had the
large auditorium decorated with
flowering plants, the altar being
banked with them. Each society
of the church presented a floral trib
ute, as did the Eastern Star and
others. The members of the Eas
tern Star attended the service in a
body. There was a large attendance
of relatives]* and friends. All the
business houses were closed during1
the hours of the service.
Mrs. Bigelow was a most estima­
ble woman. She took delight in

tian life has been a blessing and in­
spiration to many. She is spoken
