The township trustees met Monday in regular monthly session. All were present except Trustee Kight of Fair Oaks, who was absent on account of sickness. Several trustees reported on seed corn for the boys cdrn club, but none was found entirely satisfactory and it was decided to investigate the propositions of several big seed concerns. They also decided to continue the corn and bread clubs for another year and fixed the minnimum and maximum ages at 7 and 19 years. The question of prizes was left to a later meeting. The trustees expect to make a canvass of the business men for donations which will go as prizes in the contests. A girl’s sewing club was also organized which purposes to encourage plain rather than fancy sewing. The question of examination manuscripts was also raised and discussed at length.
