Several men joined in bear hunt Sat-
urday. A large bear track, newly made,
was discovered near Mrs. Dow's barn FRI
day night. A bear had just passed, going
towards Bluehill. He had been pursued
all day by two hunters from East Surry
aud Ellsworth, who passed the night at
f. d. Smiths and continued the hunt
Saturday morning, being joined by sew
eral men from the village. They followed
the tracks across the West Surry road
then crossing the Bluehill road near Mr.
Sperry's house they continued in the di-
rection OF East Bluehill, the bear keeping
just out of sight but leading them hard
chase all day in the woods bet~ cen the
Bluehill and East Bluehlll roads. When
the men stopped to rest the bear would
stop also, and evidently sat up ON his
launches to listen. When the hunters
started again, he would move on. The
snow was soft and his tracks plainly
showed all his movements. While fol.
lowing the trail of this bear, which was
very large one, the tracks of two more
bears were seen, one not so large as the one
being followed and the other cub. The
hunt was renewed Monday morning.

Children frequently go to schoo,
dtsr they have contracted contagious
diseases. though they and their par.
ents are not aware Of that fact. T,he
spread Of the disease among school
children is made possible in this way
and also by the return OF children 10
school after they have received from
careless or incompetent physicians
certificates Of recovery, but are really
not cured. The problem OF the med
