A hasty consultation with Ken Wools tenhulme brought his immediate approval and notone but two flags were purchased by the County Commissioners. One will be displayed in the court house and the other was for the permanent use of the young riders who wanted so badly to display their state emblem.

PRINTED JOKE MIGHTY CHEAP Someone, a practical Joker I assume, decided to be funny and plant a fake engagement announcement in weeks Bee. The story was well written last neatly typed and, along with a picture, pushed under my door after office hours. I had no reason to doubt the veracity of the story as items quite often come to me this way. The parents of the girl, Bonnie Boyer, were very upset with this false story. The relatives of this fine young man, are equally upset. . I hope all concerned will accept my apologies. I hope the person responsible will have guts enough to apologize also. If I seem overly skeptical of items shoved under the door in the future, please remember this incident. To the person who thought this a funny prank, think of the people who are being hurt, before you decide to play another practical Joke.- - Mary Baker.
