THE MERIDEN MESSAGE SCHOOL NOTES L. A. Green, Superintendent Owing to the fact that a third of the student body was out of school las Monday on account of colds and Influenza, school was suspended for the remainder of the week. Most of the sickness is not serious but this action seemed advisable for the welfare of the school. When this decision was announced, many of the students expressed their disappointment, which goes to show the fascination of school life, regardless of its drudgery.

The boys' second team in basketball won an easy victory from Elmont last Friday afternoon. Although our boys were unaccustomed to an outdoor court, their superior team work enabled them to double the score on the home team. The Mysterious Literary Society is doing some mysterious planning these days. It may be advisable for other literary societies to take notice before being outclassed. On last Wednesday evening, the girls of the domestic science department and their efficient teacher, Mrs.

Tonsing, entertained the members of the faculty and school board. A well appointed 3-course dinner was served. The decorative scheme was red and white. The table was lighted by tall candles. Those present were Mr.

and Mrs. Charles Wells, Mr. and Mrs. 0. C.

Henderson, Miss Glenn, Miss Schafer, Mr. and Mrs. Green, Miss Sharp and Miss Hensleigh. The Juniors and Seniors made their fourth appearance in the play, "Kicked Out of College," at Seaman High school last Saturday night. The Seaman people received them well and a sum of nearly $30 was added to the class funds.

Many of our students expressed their admiration for the fine building and equipment which they found at Seaman. No charge was made for the use of the building. It is to be hoped that the same fine spirit will be shown toward the Seaman people when they choose to present a play in Meriden. Governor Allen shows that if the state house, the state educational, charitable and penal institutions were all closed, the courts abolished and every person in the employ of the state discharged it would only decrease taxes 10 per cent. Which shows that taxpayers' leagues must look to local taxes- city, township, school and county- if they expect to make any big dent in high cost of -Gas? Lubricating Oil? Call 91, Standard Oil Co.

Meriden Drugstore. -Tanlac, the celebrated medicine, is now sold by Meriden Drug- Endorse Bender's Position Resolved, that we heartily commend Judge M.

A. Bender for Chis ruling on commercialized Sunday baseball, believing that it is not only a correct interpretation of the law but that it sets up highest standards for our growing boys and that it will make for a cleaner and more wholesome community life. Resolution passed at business meeting of Holton Church. The above from the Holton, Recorder brings us to the suggestion that as Judge Bender's position renders it unsafe to play Sunday baseball in this county, that there be leagues formed for mid-week games -say Wednesday afternoons--when business houses will close for two hours or so and give everybody a chance at the national game. We have in mind, for instance, an L.

T. league, composed of teams at Meriden, Ozawkie, Oskaloosa and McLouth, which would give each town a match game each other week thro the season. Then cut out the expensive hiring of foreign players and just give home talent a charice, and there will be good games, playing that would entertain the crowds and no big expense bill, either. When the time comes, boys, count on this paper to boost the enterprise. SETTLE UP! TAVING an opportunity to make a change in business which I think will prove beneficial I urge all persons who know themselves to be indebted to me to call and make settlement not later than February 1, 1922 W.
