Ten Reasons Why You Should Ride a
Crescent Bicycle.

FIRST, they are the highest
grade at the lowest price.
SECOND, they will stand up and
wear for years under the hardest
usage.
THIRD, there are more of them
in use and they give better salts
faction than any other wheel
built.
FOURTH, they are up to date in
design and are as richly finished
as any wheel on the market.
FIFTH. repairers get less work
from Crescent wheel riders than
from riders of any other bicycle.
SIXTH, the bearings. cones, ped
ais, tubing, chain ETC., III the
Crescent bicycles are of she finest
quality possible.
SEVENTH, they are an honestly
built wheel of the highest grade.
sold at the reasonable price Of
$500 the world over, no more,
no less.
EIGHTH, the bearings in the
1896 Crescents are self locking,
making it impossible to tighten or
loosen on the road. This device
so simple and effective is lacking
in many of the 500 so called
high grade wheels.
NINTH, the Crescents are built
for the masses and not for the
classes. They have no costly rae
ing teams to drum up reputa-
ton, which is always made up
on the price Of wheels such con-
Germs make, Yet the fastest time
ever made on a bicycle was on a
No. | Crescent by D. M. Dennis
at Denver Colorado on March 81,
1886. Distance one mile. Time
one minute and eleven and three
fifths seconds. This proving that
the Crescents lead in speed and
easy running qualities as we'll as
every thing else.
TENTH. the Crescents are the
product Of the best equipped and
largest bicycle factory in the
world. Five hundred Crescent
bicycles are built every day, or
one every minute and half. Thus
they car build them better and
sell them cheaper. Every dollar
over $500 you pay for your 1896
mount is wasted. Don't take
our word for it but be convinced
By looking at our line for 1896.

TINES down last week for writing

School question. was the objection

Summer Schools.

There is much talk pro and con
upon the advantages of Summer
Schools. If these are beneficial some
one ought to know it outside OF tn
promoters and those benefited
financially by them. How short
six or eight weeks term of these
schools can act otherwise than a
simple review, is yet to be made clear.
They come at time of the year
when the weather is hot and disagree
able for work, at a time when custom
prompted by experience has decreed
that teachers need rest and recreation.
It has been said that every thing
gained by teachers in summer
school was gained at the expense OF
the schools subsequently employing
such teachers" 1t is true that the
district hiring teacher who has been
employed in school work for nine or
ten months and then putting in his
vacation in summer school allowing
himself no rest, will be the looser
every time. The summer school fad
il mistaken calling. The promoters
may be sincere in advocating and
teaching them, but their judgement is
off. To say that there are none
benefited by such schools would hard
ly be true, yet We believe that those
most benefited are the promoters and
that mostly in financial way, at the
expense of the poorly paid teachers OF
the country districts. The principal
objection has been the part taken by
school superintendent who welded
the influence in drawing patronage,
but that now is practically done away
with leaving the schools to stand
upon their own merits, and relieves
them of much of the former criticism
IF -uperintendents would use their aid
and influence in securing a two or
three weeks institute each year con-
Quoted by able educators, more real
good would follow. This could be
done by the use of the dollar tax OF
applicants for certificates, together
with the state aid.

Seeds Sent Free.

A letter from Hon. ]. j. Jenkins
concerning the free distribution of
seeds to be made this spring, says
that he has received a letter from
the Depart ment Of Agriculture
stating that the seeds will be sent
out from the houses purchased
from, and that he is entitled to
1880 packages. In the letter Mr..
Jenkins says: 'The arrangements
made by the Department debar
lie from knowing anything about
the distribution; that is to say,
| am ignorant, and shall remain
so of all kinds of seeds put mp in
the packages, and further | am
not permitted to know whether
they will be suitable for orr soil
and climate or not, as that matter
itappears is left to the department.
Nv aim is to have the seed so dis
tributed that the greatest good
may be done to the greatest
number. New Richmond Voice.
